Creation of "a knight.

The ceremonies at the creation of a
knight have been various; the principal
were box on the ear and stroke with
a sword on the shoulder. John of Sails
bury tells us the blow with the naked fist
was in use among the ancient Normans;
by this it was that William the Conqueror
conferred the honor of knighthood on
his son Henry. 1t was afterward changed
into blow with the fiat of the sword on
the shoulder of the knight.

A plump little foot as white as the snow
Belonging to rollicking, frolicsome Joe,
In a little red sock, with a hole in the toe,
And hole in the heel as we'll.
A trim little foot In a trim little shoe,
Belonging TO sixteen-year-old Miss Sue,
And looking as if it knew just what to do,
And do it in way that would tell.
A very large foot in homely array,
Belonging to Peter who follows the dray,
So big that it sometimes is in its own way
And moves with the speed of a snail.
Ali a very big thing is the human foot,
In dainty made shoe or in clumsy boot,
So tits well there are various tastes to suit,
And that fashion can't always prevail
The plump little foot-a beautiful sight
And the trim little foot, so taper and slight,
And the very large foot, though much of
fright,
Are travelling ell the same road.
And 1t matters but little how small or no,
great,
So they never grow weary of paths that ar
straight,
And at last walk in at the gold IN gate
OF the city whose builder is God.

Soap For Chapped Hands.

Contrary to the general notion"
said well known chemist, good toilet
soap is the best preventive against
chapped hands that can be used. |
don't mean its general use in wash
ing, but as a salve or balm, just as you
would apply camphor ice or vaseline.
While the common soap generally used
for cleaning about the house is of an
alkali nature and chaps the skin terri
bly,, a good toilet soap is neutral and
acts as balm to the irritated skin. In
my business have to wash my hands
great number Of times day At first
| had great trouble, for my skin, being
naturally tender, chapped easily, maxi
ing large cracks in the flesh which made
1t dangerous for me to work in acids.
At last | discovered by covering my
hands with good toilet soap after | had
washed them-rubbing it we'll into the
skin-that | not only prevented chap
ping but kept my hands in elegant
condition. Naseline and salves are very
good, but none Of them can do the work
of first class toilet soap. As | said,
a toilet soap is neutral. A person could
eat it without injury. Why, many of
the pills which are prescribed for you
are made out of nothing more than tot
let soap. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Southern farmers raise a variety, as
corn, oats, tobacco, potatoes, onions,
fruit and other crops. These help to
make a living and bring in money.
Raising variety OF crops is the safest
and most profitable system Tor keeping
out of debt. Cotton may be raised az
surplus crop. The dairy, fruit, apiary,
poultry and stock OF general farmer will
make more money than the raiser of
single crop.

cation and good reading matter as
advantages, should make point
of helping the library to keep in
existence. This can be done st

The joint committees from the
Union party and the American
League met Sunday morning at
the rooms Of the Annexation Club.
From now on the Union party and
the League will pull together, and
harmony will reign supreme.
A few minor changes were made
in the platform Of the Party one
Of the most important was the
change of the name to the Ameri-
can Union Party.
One plank in the platform that
was slightly changed was the one
referring TO Chinese and other
Asiatic labor. It was made q more
distinct and positive declaration
sgainst the admission Of such labor.
4 new plank was put in, urging
that the scope Ct Government edu-
cation should be 50 extended that
ultimately : university education
would be available TO the youth of
the islands. A. inter, Island cable
was also recommended.
A committee Of three was ap-
pointed 10 prepare 4 resolution
addressed to the Government, re-
commencing 8 change in the plan
Of the registration of voters. 1t is
suggested that, in Honolulu at least,
q central place ofregistration should
be established, to prevent registra-
ton in two precincts and avoid re-
pesters. One or two changes were
made in the bylaws for district
clubs, but they were unimportant.
The planks Of the Union party
platform referring to annexation,
the full support Of the Provisional
Government, representative gov
eminent, land policy, public works
and prison labor were all endorsed,
and remain unchanged, as does
the plank in reference to the
organization Of the party into dis
trict clubs.
Eight members of the American
League were added tn the tempo
rary national committee Of thir-
teen, one from each district and
three at large. They were as fol-
lows: First district, L. H. Luther;
second district, J. s. Martin third
district, James Mott, Jr.; fourth
district. W. P. O'Brien; fifth dis
trict, J. L. Carter. and at large J.
W. Pratt, L. C. AbIes and \. V.
Peters.
The result Of the conference of
the joint committees seemed to be

feeling, aud the indications now
