a Matter Of Health

Hou5ekeepers family realize tbe

pu merous baking powders nowaday,
found upon every hand, and which are
eurged upon consumers with such rer.
sistency by peddlers and many 0rocars
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of these powders ara
made from sharp and oanstic acids and

All the low priced or so-called cheap

with gilt or prize, belong to this
class
Baking powders made, from chem

DIR. Edison, Commissioner of Health
z OF New York, in an article in the
doctor of Hygiene" indicates that
the advantages of a good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dan
gers of bad ones in which the harsh
z and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recom-
mends this to all consumers. sThe
Royal" he says, contains nothing
but cream of tartar and soda
refined to chemical purity, which
when combined under the influence of
heat and moisture produce pure car

materials used, cream of tartar and

eaten, but in this preparation they are
combined in exact compromising

practically disappear,> she substance Of

that the Royal Bnking Powder is the
most perfect of all copceivable agents
for leayening purposes.
1t seems almost incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge tie
sale of baking powders containing in-
furious chemicals in place of those OF
well-known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake of few
cents a pound greater profit but since
they do, a few words of warming seem
to be necessary.

A Mammoth Egg. !

Covent Garden, says tho Pail Mali
Gazette, ito tho ogg of tho mpyornis
maximum, tho biggest bird either
living or extinct. 1t has been extinct
for somo time and only two of its
bones have been found According TO
tho catalogue tho bird was moro than
ten feet high and WAS fiightless.
"Ishould think 80, snid prospec-
tive egg-buyer.
cit would seem to me-" snid Mr..
Stevens, "that tho bird that laid this
egg must have been something like
thirty-five feet high-nbout as high ms
house. You will see by the cata-
logue TINT it measures 345 inches in
its longest circumference and twenty
eight inches i'll girth. This egg is
several inches larger thnn the egg wo
sold last year. 1t is, of course,
great rarity, and not moro than thirty
of these eggs arc known. This, L
think, is the finest egg of the lot. 1t
should be remembered that there arc
sixty known eggs of the great aux, and
they sell for $1,000 each, [ don't mean
to say that this egg should bring MS
much as n great aux eggs, but We sold
one not 80 good MS this last year for
$3.50"
The egg vas passing from hand to
hand i'll II wooden box while the auc-
tioncer was speaking. 1t looked too
large for mn egg, though in other re-
spects it seemed natural enough. 1t
was not difficult to understand how n

como extinct The egg is of brown
ish gray color and sounds like porce-
lnin when it is drummed on with tho
llnuckles Tho bid that was accus-
toned to lay this sort of egg lived, it is
said, i'll Madagascar and buried its egg
i'll the sand. 1t is only possible to
find the egg by digging in the sand
and more eggs may be found, ~ n good
deal of the scashore ofMadngascar has
not been dug up yet. The egg was
finally sold for 1886.

Queer Watches.

Mention may be made of some OF
the exquisite Swiss watches on exhibi-
ton in tho Swiss pavilion in tho
Manufacturers and Liberal Arts Build-
ing ut the Worlds Fair. There are
some very old watches that are valua-
bic from nm historical point of view.
There is o watch made in tho Fifteenth
Century, quito clumsy thing with u
crystal face, showing the day of tho
week, the month and the phases of the
moon. Another very old witch is
made entirely of wood and ivory, repre-
senting months of labor on the part of
a life convict, who was pardoned on
the completion of this wonderful pioco
of work.
There is queer old timepiece dat
ing from tho year 1914, tho date being
carved on tho caso together with the
name OF the manufacturers This
watch is known to be the oldest in
existence.
Now wo will look nj some of tho
moro modern Watches; these range in
size from one-half inch in diameter to
four inches, and there are hundreds of
dinls shown of all imaginable colors
tAio toOliic VI tuS OTIlEn9nIeu
watches are unique and very handsome.
There aro beetles and dragon flies,
diamond sprays and flowers in their
natural shadesmade of precious stones.
Many of the watches arc SO tiny as to
be easily concealed in n brenstpin.
One dainty little timepiece was con-
fined i'll the body of diamond buttor-
fly broach, another was shut up in tho
heart of fuchia, valued ut $500; an
other i'll n rose made all of diamonds
and valued at $4,000. These little
watches IRE all stem winders and said
to keep perfect time.
The Swiss wntchmakers have dis.
played their watches to better adj
vantage than our wntchmahers have,
tho beautiful cases being set off by
rich and lustrous fabrics, which show
the delicate md exquisite colors and
designs to perfection. In some of our
exhibits the watches aro thrown to-
gether in q heller slselter fashion, in
others they arc laid in punches and SO

the semblance of an apology. We
have heard repeated his oral ex-
plantations to the Foreign Office,
and they in like manner contain
no hint of that regret for fault
committed which every gentleman
holds himself, upon proper occa-
sion, ready to express.
We therefore apologize to Mr..
Mills for having stated that he had
done his duty az member of the
consular corps and as a gentleman,
and withdraw every remark and
every implication, to that effect.
And now, with the pleasing
sense Of satisfaction which always
follows upon duty accomplished,
we turn to another branch of the
subject. AS the United States
Consul General has, upon his own
showing, neither expressed nor of
fered to express any regret for the
impertinent and ill-bred manner
in which he has ignored a courte-
Gus communication from the Ha-
waiian Government, it would seen
to be an eminently appropriate
time for the Government to dis
embarrass the country of his fur
ther presence in it. Let him go

Now that Mrs. Dominis is really
going to chop our heads off, one
begins to regret that she has not
imported the lotion stamping ma
chine with which the Shah of Per-
STA provided himself for similar
purpose. Nobody wants an un-
practiced headsman hacking awk-
wardly at his throat, even if it
should be the brawny blacksmith
Wilson. We would suggest that
the leaders of the present Govern
ment and its supporters-as the
chief parties in interest-start a
subscription for the purchase of
guillotine. 1t will be a good thing
to have on hand, whether it is used
to SHEA eff Mrs. Dominis' head or
those of ;ler enemies.

-
A ranch manager on Hawaii
who had seen the Locked
Fence, reported to the owners
of the property that if he was
allowed to build his fence on
that principle, he could qua
rantee an increase of thirty
three and a third per cent. in
fat cattle. After the owners
had investigated and found
out that it could be done, they
gave us an order for the wire
and necessary stays and wash
ers for building eight miles of
the fence. Durability, strength
and economy are the points
which caused the sale of three
miles of the material to a gen.
tleman on Kauai. You will
understand that we do not sell
the fence made up. We sup
ply the materials; wire, either
plain or barbed and either gal
vanized or black. This wire
we guarantee to be a superior
article and do so only after we
have. passed it through the
severest test possible. The
stays are made of spring steel,
galvanized, and are of a char
acter that will resist any
thing. The sensation of a bull
lock when he bumps against
this fence is on a par with the
man who gets up at night in a
dark room and steps on a rub
Der ball with a whistle in it.
The washers are crimped so as
to fit over the wire and stay
and hold them together so
that it is impossible for the
wire to sag. The washers are
used wherever a stay joins the
lateral wire and you will need
for every stay as many wash
ers as you have wires. We
charge you for stays Sc per
hundred and for the washers
1920 per thousand.
1t is a question of but very |
short time when every man |
owning an acre of pasture

economizing in their fence
and the only true
economy in that respect lies

TO MRS. DOMINIS.
Her Little Scheme Was Not a Nice
0n6.

No, Mrs. Dominis, it was not
nicel We know that we paid you
an Irish dividend" in deposing
you, and you have lively sense of
favors received, but you were too
mild, too delicate, too awfully
gushing when you only demanded
beheading. We might on "Janu-
airy 18th" have taken your head
off for violating the Constitution,
as our ancestors took off the head
of Charles l., but we believe that
the only adequate punishment was
a back seat and a spank.
You were "too previous" in pur-
chasing an axe, and a block, and a
cheerful basket for our heads. But
all things have their uses. In the
name of forgiving people, we ask
you to present that axe, block and
basket to the Hawaiian exhibit of
the Mid-Winter Fair. The death
warrant which you signed in blank
for US, should be sold, and the pro-
ceeds used to recoup the extrava-
gances of the Kalakaua dynasty.
Let not this incident be merely his
torical, let it be profitable. The
death warrant for Mr.. Dole should
command $1,000. The headsman's
mask, to be worn by Mr.. T. H.
Davies, on the festive occasion of
our execution, together with the
suit of clothes generously provided
by himself, should be reserved for
our own museum; while the gra-
phic picture of his standing with
uplifted axe, and queer smile, as
he stands over the poor EMISSION
airy" head, as it lies on the block,
should be reserved for the walls of
the Government building. Thank
you, Mrs. Dominis, you have Gre
ated another incident"

The Opera House should be packed
for such a musical programme the
management has hitherto not put
forth. The whole of the building
will be lighted, for the first time,
by over 500 electric lamps. The
gems of songs will include numbers
from the opera of "Trovatore,"
besides instrumental items of great
variety. That the English song
stresses will say "Good bye" to
numbers of lovers of talent is
shown by the big demand for re-
served seats.
Both Miss Julie and Miss Rose

Hawaiian airs, besides concerted
numbers. 1t will be as well to be
early; the doors open at z 80.
