National CaneShredder

the Hilo Sugar Co., regarding
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which he has

OEAK SIR:-In reply to yours OF the
18th inst. regarding the Nationa! Cane
Shredder furnished by the universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season;
would beg to say, that it has now been
| in oneratiop day and plight during the past
| three weeks working on plant cane, and
| also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
| greatest satisfaction. The more see OF
| IT'S capabilities, the better pleased L am
! hat / mt IL in, as l am satisfied that IL
| will repay the original outlay in a short
time. in saving of labor, higher eXtrac-
ton, etc. 40, of
lie is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane every % hours with the greatesI
ea.e and it could shred much larger
o,ont;tv Il necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even UNIFORM Ieeu
to the three roller mill, which receives IL
without the intervention OF any Iapor
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
| or disintegrated it relieves the mill OF a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
iiahiiity OF broken shafts, gearing, etc:
There is a saving of four az men daily
ON the mill, as only one man Is required
| To regulate the amount of cane delivered
nv the carrier to the shredder. it mas
Increased the extraction from &c
per cent. ,a
rally a serious consideration In adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit
as is was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional Doll
or. But find that the shredder and th'
three roll mill engines combined use M
more steam than the three roll mil
engine I'd when working on whole cane
while doing better work and more OF 1t
and owing to the uniform iced on IN
! mill, the engine demands very HUI
attention. -,
The Megass from the shredded can
makes superior fuel, and the hremei
have less difficulty in maintaining I'M
form pressure of steam than formerly.
| will be pleased to nave call froI
parties interested, as it is necessary
see the machine at work to July appre
ciate its capabilities.

A NEW AND DELICIOUS DISH.

An entirely new and delicious dish
made from eggs comes from South
America. It is called 'seegs la Car
acss," and was given to Miss Bedford,
the accomplished teacher Of cookery,
by the traveller who discovered it. I
will admit that it does not sound good,
but the taste is superior to its effect
on the ear. The recipe calls for a
quarter of pound of smoked beef,
four eggs, one tablespoonful of onion
juice, one-eighth of tablespoonful
of cinnamon, two heaping tablespoon
fuls of grated cheese, two tablespoon
fuls of butter, four hard-boiled eggs,
Mayonnaise, and dash of cayenne
pepper. Put the four eggs to be
boiled hard in a saucepan, cover'with
boiling water, and simmer twenty
minutes. Take piece of beef in the
bulk, cut off the rind and fat, and cut
very fine. Put in a saucepan, add one
cupful of tomato, and put over, the
fire to cook slowly for six or eight
minutes. Mix well the onion Juice,
cinnamon, cheese, and butter; turn
into the tomato and cook three min
utes longer. Break the other four
eggs, heat enough to mix, and stir
into the mixture. Season with the
red pepper to taste. Serve on hot
plates. Also heat the dishes into:
which the eggs are poured. Gut the
hard-boiled eggs in slices and put
them around as a border. On each
slice lay teaspoonful of Mayonnaise
dressing. This is an elegant dish for
a luncheon. 1t may be made in a
cnafng dish if one desires. It is in
the right condition to be eaten when
it has the consistency OF scrambled
eggs. New York Post. >

place, that can receive him."
Thus charged, Roger tied EthePs horse
securely, and then rode rapidly away.
At once Ethel returned to her self
assumed charge, and endeavored to
arouse him from tho stupor he was in, in
order to ask of his relatives and home.
But the effort was in vain.
A low, incoherent muttering, in which
the words "brother" and "save me, I" were
mingled, was all she could hear.
It seemed long and weary while to
the anxious girls, before voices were
heard IL the distance, announcing Che
return of Roger, with the physician and
others who came to the help Of the az
hicted and unknown man; but it was
really a very speedy arrival.
DIR. Elfenstein was the first to enter
the cheerless place, while two men
besides Roger followed, ready to bear
the sufferer in their arms to wagon
quite distance down the road; beyond
the narrow pathway the girls had pushed
over on the backs of their gentle horses.
The Doctor paused moment to eX-
anime the patieut, but looked very
grave as he did 50, and whispered to
Ethel:
II think we are too late to save him.
He will live but few hours as death is
even now upon him. He must be re-
moved, however, at once, and as know
of no other place, ! shall take him to my
own house. Strange that he should have
lived here alone so long, as this cave
seems to have been Inhabited quite
while"
Taking the wallet in his hand to draw
it away, he found it impossible to do so,
as the death clutch of the dying fingers
upon it was tight and still strong; so,
leaving it where it was on his breast,
the Doctor summoned the men, who
gently raised the slight form in their
arms and bore him forth, followed by
the physician and the two girls.
Pausing in haste to assist them to
their seats in the saddles, Earle muir
mured few polite words to each rela-
tive to the case, then hurried after the
sad little procession, while the ladies
slowly brought up the rear.
Soon the poor man was lying on
blankets and soft pillow upon the floor
of an easy wagon, while the Doctor sat
by his side, carefully tanning away the
flies that might annoy, and thus they
wended their way back to their homes.
A few hours later, in the. comfortable
guest chamber at the young physician's
home, the poor wayfarer breathed his
last, and as the sympathizing physician
closed his eyes and Strengthened his form
he drew away the wallet carefully and
folded the poor, thin hands upon his
breast.
Leaving him then in the cold sleep OF
death, he left the room in order to send
for an undertaken to perform the last
offices upon the emaciated corpse.
After dispatching messenger he sum-
moned Mrs. Clum as witness, and
passed to his private Office in order to
examine the mysterious wallet, that
should, he hoped, reveal the secret OF the
wanderers family and home.

magnificent sarcophagiin which, near

TEN was better there than in America,
since the industrial professions are
taught in the free schools, and there
are three fine universities in Sicily,
from which scholars are graduated
every year. He admitted that the
Sicilians had been in the habit of
pointing back to a splendid past of
eight centuries, but that now, with
Government railroads, submarine tele-
graphs and other modern improve
ments, they had grown ambitious for
the future. But that hot blood which
led to the historic tragedy of the
Sicllian Vespers has not yet grown
cool.
At the time of the massacre, known
historically as the Sicilian VesEers,
which occurred in 1882, when the
French were routed with q terrible
bloodshed, every foreigner who could
not pronounce the word "ciceri" to
the liking of the Silician WAS put to
death. This test was compared to the
biblical shibboleth instituted by
Jeptha on the slaughter of the Israel
ties. Charles, of Anjou, had tyranni-
cally enslaved the Sicillans, and caused
the death by beheading Of the hered-
itary King of Naples, son and heir of
Conrad TX. He was but youth of
sixteen, but he died patriot and a
martyr, and his death and martyrdom
have been embalmed in song.

Raw meat should never be placed

does not affiliate with the Roman
Greek -Norman-Italian of Sicily, be
does sympathize with revolt against
injustice, and an outbreak of local WEI
upon the island is usually followed by
similar uprisings in other parts of the
kingdom. 1t is a volcanic example
emanating from the most beautiful
and fruitful country in the world, of
which historians record thrilling
deeds of valor, and poets sing in his
toric measure.
There Archimedes discovered spe-
cifc gravity, and his tomb is shown
in Syracuse to students, who, like
him, cry Eureka! Roman and Vene-
tian and Greek colonies may still be
traced there. He who would have
souvenir of Sicily has only to look at
the street fruit seller on the nearest
corner, who will give him good-day in
the Sicilian tongue, and sell him
oranges that were lately plucked in
Messina, which supplies half the world
with fruit. Naturally harmless citi-
zens, these people in country they
have adopted, but where q strange
language is spoken, and still volcanic
in the nature they inherited from fiery
ancestors; ready to revenge with the
knife the half understood badinage of
the stranger, but quiet and attentive
to their own business if unmolested.

of the reason why revolt is imminent
in Sicily.
"a merchant there cannot sell O

cellar without paying toll on every
quart he owns, in order to prevent
seizure. The land is taxed first, then
all it produces is taxed, and there is
nothing left. If man kills sheep
he" must pay tax on the mutton.
Everything, everywhere is taxed, and

sulphur mine purgatorio. But the
thoughtful tourist remembers that it
is this sulphur GUS atmosphere that has
preserved the antiquities of Greek and
Roman art.
In spite of the assurances we have
from the authorities that brigandage
is no longer a profession in Sicily,
travellers find eternal vigilance neces-
sary in making pilgrimage among
the mountains in the vicinity OF Pa
lermo or Monreale. The organized
band of robbers with their picturesque
encourage and their ransom money
may not exist as they once did, but
robbers are plenty, only less violence
accompanies their acts than formerly.
Messina, with it's lava pavements, is

they are very devout, and have al

INCREASE OF DISEASE IN FRANCE.

A well-known authority OF Paris on
nervous and mental diseases, NJ. Charles
Fere, who ls specialist in this direction,
SAYS, that these diseases are frightfully on
the increase in France. According to the
Paris correspondent of the Chicago Weekly
Dispatch, he thinks this is due to the In
crease of beer, drinking abslnthe, and drink
ing at bars. He says there was hardly such
thing as bar twenty years ago, and that
one sees them now oil over the town and
always crowded. He notes rs connected
with this alcoholic consumption, the H.
crease Of spine and brain diseases in young
children. He also attributes to drink ami
drunkenness the tendency TO race deteriora-
ton and depopulation. He notes the TACT,
that children Of drunken parents are at the
lime of birth less developed than those OF
sober parents, and that there are possible
arrests Of development in many directions.
He says: "It never can be repeated often
enough, that alcoholic drinks ore now the
great eEemy OF the races which do not ao-
stain from them, and that If the Aryans 80
on tipping as they do, they must finally give
way 10 Jews, Arabs and Chinese.

sumers OF alcohol il aN lands.-Nationai

CHAPLAIN M'cABE ON BEER AND BREAD.

Tn recent issue you say, anarchists
want to get bread by force, but they seem
willing to pay for beer" Yes, and how
much do they pay? The Anarchists are only
n very small wing of the laboring classes OF
our country. It is hardly worth while to
fnl out how much they pay Tor beer and
whisky, but the millions Of working people
nay over $3.50 O,oOO, 900 every year for that
which is not bread. Why not remind them
Of this factp They are the main support OF
The colossal rum traffic which boasts OF
drawing into its Golfers 5000, 900 an
nually.
The laboring people OF the country spend
more for whisky and beer thnn the entlre
banking capital OF the Nation. 1fthey would
save what they spend in this way and start
hanks they could soon have 10, 0O0 banks with
SO ESQ, 600 ,OO0 capital. Don't get the figures
wrong. I'll write it out, so there Will be no
mistake. In three years, by saving what
thew pour down their thronts, they could
have banks running in their interest with an
aggregate capital OF two thousand two hum
dred and lny millions OF dollars, leaving
net profit of at least one hundred millions a
wear to be divided among them. Put this nc

A SICILIAN lETTIGA.

And there is always Mount Etna
looming in the distance with per-
petual threat Of calamity. It is a
tradition in Sicily that if Etna growls
Vesuvius roars, Stromboi rumbles
and Lipari threatens. These volcanoes
are all in touch when one complains.
The Sicilians themselves are most in
teresting. The men are handsome, and
the women in their early youth are
very attractive. But they are tram
meled by superstition and idolatry.
They do not trouble their heads about
revolutions or the higher education of
woman, but take life as if it were q
draught of pleasure if rich, and work
and pray if poor.
Paris costumes, rich equipages, as
we'll as the quaint native lettlga and a
great display of wealth are to be seen
in all large Sicilian cities, but to the
tourist they are less interesting than
the Sicilian peasant, whose heroic blood
has never been filtered to stagnant
quality by contact with luxury. The
throes of revolution are always there,
whether dormant, like the fires of their
own volcanoes, or bursting out in local
riots. Sicily has been successfully
governed by Carthaginians, Romans,
Goths, Greeks, Sarscens, Normans,
French, Swsbians, Austrisns and Span
ish. 1t came under Neapolitan Gov.
eminent in 1875. At several different
periods the people of Sicily have risen
in revolt during the present century.
Garibaldi was their leader in 1860, and
afterward when they we're annexed to
the new kingdom of Italy under Victor
Emanuel. There are more than 2,OOO,-
900 of population, and every man is q
soldier or fighter. Love Of Sicily Is
q Sicilian virtue.

About the Color of Flames.

You have often noticed the many.
tinted bars and bands that. rise in the
shape of "forked tongues of fame
from wood burning in the crate, but,
ten chances to one, you never thought
to figure on the cause. To bring the
matter quietly to the point, it may be
said that the many colors are the re-
suit of combustion among the differ
ent elements of the wood. The light
blue is from the hydrogen and the
white from carbon. The violet is
from manganese, the red from mag
nesia and the yellow from Soda

This dress is of thick satin in ivory
white. A series of very finely crimped
rufles of the material finishes the
lower edge of the skirt, which has a
medium-length train, and is cut with
bell.shaped cores all around. The
close-ftting body is finished with q
scarf-shaped fold of the goods, edged
with crimped ruffles. The elbow
sleeves are extremely full and also
finished with ruff1es; the high collar is
edged with orange-blossoms, and
