DIR. Rowat, the well-k nown We
terinarian, killed a valuable horse
yesterday, which suffered from
CHAMBERS. This was the third
case Of the fatal disease which
came under the doctors notice
during this week. He believes,
though, that the CHAMBERS are
only sporadic and do not appear
as yet in an epidemic form, A
close watch should be kept never
theless, and the Government
officials be on the alert to check
any progress OF the disease.

Chinese Printing.

The only place where Chinese
can be printed from type in Ho-
nolulu is in Japenese printing
offices. Chinese local newspa-
pers are all printed by lithogra-
ply. AS the characters are the
same in both written languages,
types of the japanese Offices serve
for printing Chinese. The Go
vernment gets its Chinese print
lug done by the Japanese news
paper Offices.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE CAKES.

In large cities the making of cake is
almost q lost art. There are many
reasons for this, first and foremost OF
which is the bakery. Then there are
the women's exchanges. where people
fancy they can buy just such cakes as
dear grandma used to make, but oh,

have friend who makes the most de-
licious cake ever tasted. One of the
best and easiest made of her almost
endless variety of cakes is what she
calls luncheon cake. This is how il
is made:
One cupful of sugar, one-half cup OF
butter, worked to q fine cream; one
egg: one cupful of sweet milk; two
cupfuls of flour; three teaspoonfuls OF
baking powder. Flavor with grated
nutmeg. Bake in q shallow pan well
lined with buttered paper.
Sometimes she frosts the top of this
cake and decorates it with English
walnut meats. Then she calls it re.
ception cake. Another of her cakes is
what all children love. She calls it
sponge cake.
One large cup of sugar, four egg.
beaten to foam, three tablespoonful
of milk, two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, one large cup of flour, flavor
with lemon.
This makes a small cake. It should
be baked in a shallow, square pan, and
eaten fresh.
Another of her cakes Is rich and de-
licious; she calls it wedding cake.
Two pounds of sugar, two pounds OF
granulated sugar, twelve eggs. Beat
whites and yolks separately. One cuI
of New Orleans molasses, three table
spoonfuls of cloves, one tablespoon.
full of mace, two tablespoonfuls OF
allspice, one nutmeg grated, a quarter
of pound of citron cut in little
pieces, four pounds of dried currants
two pounds of flour and one heapinl
teaspoonful of baking soda.
This must be thoroughly beaten and
mixed and baked four hours in SLOW

of four eggs to stiff froth, add pow.

Judge Andrews Of Georgia used to
tell an amusing story Of the way in
which he was once taken down" by
one Of his audience during a political
address He was a candidate for Gov
ernor of his State and was explaining
to the crowd Of people that had as
sembled to hear him how his friends
had pressed him to be candidate and
that the Office was seeking him; he was
not seeking the office. "In fact" he ex-
claimed, 1.-The Office Of Governor has
been following me for the last ten

man at the rear of the audience rose
But here's yer consolation, Judge! he

correct, in spite of the mirth it pro.

HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES.

Flatirons should be kept as far re-
moved from the steam of cooking as
possible. as this is what causes them
to rust.
Sandwiches can be made some houri
before needed if kept in Q cool place
snugly covered with damp cloth.
They should be piled closely upon .

A towel rack made with several
arms fastened to q half circular centre,
which in turn fastens to the wall, is a
convenient place Tor drying dish
towels.
When drawn butter separates or de.
composes from standing too long, add
tablespoonful of cold water or a small
lump of ice and beat until it becomes
smooth.
In making lemonade strain the juice,
and to improve the taste allow q hall
dozen oranges to every dozen lemons.
If desired a few thin rounds of banana
may be added.
Rapid boiling is the general rule for
vegetables and all scum that rises
should be removed. When done drain
at once, or the vegetables will lose
much of their flavor.
The water in which green peas has
been boiled should not be thrown
away. It has a fine favor--the very
essence of the peas. A little stock
added, seasoned to taste, makes an

The World Growing BETTER.

Itmay sound little slangy, but the
popular expression, "we're getting
shere," seems to fit the times exactly.
The world is growing better because
The people are better than they ever
were before. The sun may not shine
any brighter, but we appreciate the
light more highly. There may be rs
lark places as ever there were, but We
are able to avoid them.
Certainly there never was time
when gentleness and purity, human
ove and human sympathy were more
respected or more generally appreci-
lted. Coarseness and vulgarity, rude-
ness and riot will melt away before
these mild influences, until finally this
Did world will be SO bright and SO
ovable that even the good will regret
having to leave it.
We are becoming more human.
which means that the savage in our
nature is being eliminated. .-Pittsburg

DISTANT THINGS.

%, white Is the sail in the far away,
And dirty the sail at the dock;
And fair arc the cliffs across the bay
And black is the nearby rock.
ChouGh glitters the snow on the peaks afar,
Ar our fee, it is only white;
And bright is the CLEAN Of the distant star,
Though lamp were twice as brightl
The roee that mods beyond our reach
Is redder than rose Of ours;
Ofthousht that turns our tongues to speech
Our fellows leave greater dowers.
1he waters that flow from the hidden springs
Are sweeter than those by our side-
80 We strive through life for the distan,
things
And never are satisfied
60 We strive through Life for these distan,
But ever they hold their place;
Till beats lifes drum and dsath doth como
And we look in his mocking face.
And the distant things crowd near and clos,
And faith! They are dinsy and grsyl
For the charm is lost when the limo Il
crossed
TwiIt here and far away.
For the charm Is lost when the line b
crossed
And we SOC things as they arc;
And know that as clean Is the sail at tn,
dock
As the sail on the sea afar;
As bright the rays Of the nearby lamp
As the CLEAN OF the distant star.

A DeadwOOd Lynching.

Leander Richardson gives, in the
New York Sun, the following vivid de-
scrlption of the lynching of murderer
Mt Deadwood in the seventies:
When the preparations we're COM
plete the prisoners hands were man
acled behind him, and he was led out
side. The crowd cheered and then
hooted as they saw him. The yellow
of his skin had changed to An ashen
hue, and his one active little eye swept
the horizon with a venomous glitter.
But he did not vince. He clutched
his half f-smoked weed convulsively with
his teeth, pulled himself together and
stood firmly on his feet, with his chin
elevated defiantly. He was lifted to
the back of the horse, and sitting there,
bolt upright, was led away across the
gulch to where a long rope dangled
from limb of a gaunt dead tree. In
one end of this rope there was arunning
moose. The other end, after passing
over the limb, was held by several men
further up the side of the gulch. The
horse was led under the tree, two
guards, with rifles ready, walking on
either side. The crowd, which surged
onward like an angry river, painted
with excitement that broke out in
curses and vile exclamations.
The moose was adjusted, the horse
was led out from under the murderer's
form, and at the same moment the men
holding the opposite end of the rope
ran up the hill with it for a few PAGES.
The body of the tall Missourian, writh-
ing horribly in agony. flew upward. A
dozen shots from pistols and rifles
rang sharply out. The malefactor's
ungainly feet, which had been drawn
up in the first Iontortiou of suffering,
fell back. The bony hands, which had
clutchnS desperately at the back of his
shirt relaxed and hung down, limp
anL pulseless. The teeth, which had
been clinched in the final and supreme
effort of self-control, parted, and the
remnant of the last black cigar came
aoating to the ground. The artificial
eye, now not more sightless than its
furtive companion, cast coldly sinls-
ter stare out over the throng below, q
Ehrong hushed with the spending of
It's fury. The body, twisting with the
strain upon the rope, swayed to and
iro in the freshening breeze. The peo-
ole, who were sobered and reflective
surned slowly away and dispersed
