beneath a buzzsaw. As soon as the
log is thus transferred to the carrier
the elephant operating the Car returns
for another log, while another huge
beast, trained to do the saving, oper-
ates the carrier and pushes the log
against the saw. But the interesting
part of the work does not end here,
for, as the log is being sawed into the
desired boards and timbers, another
elephant receives the completed ma
terial, piling the slabs on one side and
more valuable product on the other.
But two men are required to oversee
and direct the elephants used IN saw

trained for loading the sawed material
upon these trucks, while others push
the loaded trucks to the sheds. In the

Tame ducks are excellent stuffed
with potatoes mixed with sausage
meat. To make the stufing, boil and
mash four potatoes of good size, and
while they are hot add one ounce OF
butter, one-fourth of pound of saus-
age meat, half a teaspoonful of salt
and quarter teaspoonfu] of pepper.
Fill the body, rub the breast of the
duck with onion, lay on it slice of
salt pork, turn quarter of a cupful
of water in the pan, and roast in a
quick oven. Wild ducks are best with

served one of the elephants suddenly

Only about ten men are employed

seen this novel mill at Moulmein IN

other trained animal shows are simply
nowhere near ''in line" with it. The

German Army Dogs.

The German army has trained war
dogs. On the march each dog is led
by his master and is required to carry
= heavy pack on his back. Dogs of q
dark color are preferred, because they
are less visible to the enemy. The
training is pursued on the general
principle that the dog would be treated
very cruelty by an enemy, SO that the
creature is taught to creep round the
foe unnoticed and to give distinct
warning of hostile approach without
bringing itself into notice. For in
stance. in the German training pro-
cess, some of the soldiers put on French
and Russian uniforms to represent tho
enemy. This arrangement, by the
by, suggests the idea that the Germans
have quite made up their mind whom
they are going to fight when the great
war does come. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Home OF the Wild Horse.

A correspondent says in a Texas pa
per: II believe this is the greatest
horse country in the world. 1t was
certainly his home in the wild state,
which proves, I think, that it was
adapted to his wants. He was roam
ing this vast prairie country long be-
fore the white man concluded to make
it his home, and he is here still within
twenty miles or less of this place, it is
said, but this may be little doubtful !;
but $50 or 200 miles west Of here he
abounds in large droves, and from
what I learned of parties that know
the term wild fits them extremely
well. for they can sniff you from two
to five miles away, and, at the signal
of the horse on guard, they bound
away, and by the time the fieetest
horse can catch them, though he have
the staying qualities OF the old four
mile repeater, he is completely ex'
hausted." "

This remarkable yield was reported BY
Frank Close, Minnesota, on two acres OF Mar

this new sort takes the cake. 1t is the greatest

who tried it the past season believe seventy

FROTHED EGG.

A frothed egg is an egg cooked 30
delicately and served so rtemptingly
that an invalid usually needs no coax
ing to eat one. 1t is prepared by tax
ing large "fresh-laid' egg, and beat
ing the white to a stiff froth. This
process is always quickened by adding
a small pinch of salt Butter slightly
but thoroughly an individual earthen
or bright tinware mould or low cup,
and turn the white into it evenly, and
make slight depression in the centre.
In this drop the yolk of the egg very
carefully. Set the cup containing the
egg in pan filed with hot water, and
bake three minutes in q hot oven.-

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
SMOKED MEAT.

It is common mistake to have too
tight q smokehouse, and, in conse-
quence, the meat is apt to remain soft
and greasy. Too open a house re-
quires too much fuel, but little air
is necessary to aid the drying process.
The smoke should be applied to the
meat cold, and the temperature of the
smoke house should never be above
eighty degrees. The meat must never
be allowed to freeze. 1t is careless
ness in the smoking which causes so
many country people to dislike meat

WRONG AGAIN.

TIE Ajcertiser contained an
editorial a fep days ago in which
where was a triumphant howl be-
cause, S it claimed. no papers in
HoaoluAn were edited by Hawaii
ans.
We do lot think that it makes
the slightest difference aeho writes
an article as long as the points
in it are well-taken and deserving
of an answer. In a recent con-
troversy between France and
England, the opinion quoted by
a German journal gained consi-
derable attention and had strong
effect The parties and journals
of England and France did not
enquire into the nationality of
the writer, they simply dealt with
the facts set forth and reached
an understanding through that
method.
And so it is in Hawaii. The
different journals here may not
be edited by pure Hawaiians( but
they undoubtedly contain senti-
uents out of which all peopIe
interested in the prosperity of
Hawaii can learn a lesson. The
cause of the native Hawaiian can
be better attend d to and defer d.
ed by half-white writer's or by
foreigners intermarried with the
Iiawaiians than they can by a
missionary editor whose past
proves him to be a sycophant to
the Hawaiians and hummer on
Kalakaua.
For the information of the ex-
attorney general we will state
that three are their papers pub
lished in Honolulu by pure ma
tives. The responsible editor of
the Mdkda;Rana is Mr.. W. H.
Eapu, the editor of Aloha dina
is Mr.. J. Kannamano and the
editor of the Keokoa is Mr.. Ka-
walnut.
All three publish weekly papers
in the Hawaiian language; and
only the last mentioned favors
the republic of the mission aries.
The editorials in the Kuokoa are
generally written by the Rev. S.
E. Bishop aud his g,ng, and
there are consequently no reas-
son TO credit Mr.. Kqwainui with
the work done. He lends his
name and reads proof, and draws
his salary; and there his connect
ions with the kpokoa end.
The editor of the .Adreriiser has
to be excused for making his
glaring mistakes. The points
taken by him are very poor aud
las him open to a ridicale from
which We sincerity wish to shield
him. Since he at the expense Of
the Hawaiian government. ira
yeled around the world with
Hawaiian king many things have
happened here. His total igno-
rance of the present status creates
oar profound sympathy for him
-and for the r. c. Adusrtixr.
