A bride is always interesting. When a
woman becomes a bride she Is making one
of the great changes in life. She is enter
ing on duties entirely new to h~er-duties,
which she is all too often wholly untitled and
unprepared for. 1t is a woman's duty, as
we'll to herself as to her husband, that she
shall be strongly healthy in every way-par-
ticularly in those organs which are to be
called into play in bringing children into
the world. Weakness and disease of the
organs d%istinctively feminine undoubtedly
cause much of the misery, unhappiness and
incompatibility of married life. A woman
who's nerves are continually nagged with
torturing pains, whose vitality Is low, and
whose strength is unequal to her daily tasks
does not find it possible to be always ami.
abb and cheerful. And yet, amiability,
cheerfulness, good looks and vivacity are
the things most expected bya husband.
Every woman may have these things If she
will make and keep herself strong and
healthy. The way Is simple, Il leads to

been the means of bringing happiness into
thousands of homes. Its most benign influ-

MIR. DAMON SPE rs.
Palama Park should ~ Given

Palama Park Should ~ Given
Prompt and Serious Attention.
Mr.. EDITOR:-Permit me briefly to
most heartily indorse the eloquent and
poetic plea for the new park, which ap-
peared in your issue of this morning,
and 10 express the pleasure which
your editorial on the same subject af-
Iforded me. The cordial and hearty sup
port which the different newspapers
of this city have given this scheme is
of great value, and l trust they will
continue to impress upon the minds of
all the great Importance and necessity
of the undertaking.
In the very heart of the most thickly
upon the homes of hundreds of all ma
tionalities, lies this tract of land which
seems most singularly adapted for the
purposes of a park and a recreation
ground. There are those who feel that
some other point might be obtained,
perhaps further up stream, which
would answer as well. 1t must, how
ever, be evident to any one who has
given careful consideration to the real
needs of the city in this crowded por-
ton that this ''new-made" land is of
all places the most favorably located.
Providence has in a most singular
manner opened an area there which,
with comparatively little outlay, could
be made garden of delight for thou
sands. Most earnestly is it to be hoped
that all will unite in a strong effort to
see that this is set apart forever for
the use of the people of the city and
their children's children. If we would
benefit the masses with the gospel of
sunshine and natural beauty and pure
air, we must take it to them and not
stream"
Let this beautiful region stand as
perpetual monument to the Heavenly
Fathers love, which averted from our
city the terrible cholera scourge, an
inspiring reminder of that remarkable
epoch in our civic history, when all ma
tionalities joined in a splendid and
heroic effort of brotherly helpfulness-
Thanksgiving Park" which shall be
joy in the present and an inspiration
in the future. Let this now brown and
barren region be soon clothed with
tropical beauty, and let the chimes
| from the towers of Kaumakapili watt
over it at morning, noon and twilight
the angel chorus, Peace on earth, good
will to men. FRANK. w. DAMON.

half, a Parliamentary inquiry was in
stituted, and it was found that in all
but one of the thirteen settlements
started the Government allowance had
been exhausted in eighteen months and
the settlers were calling for more.
Many were heavily in debt, and all
except three said they could not go on
without more assistance. The conser-
vative conclusion TO draw from all this
is that the Anglo-Saxon is not yet
ready for advanced forms of socialism,
and does better "hoeing his own row."
One thing noticeable, however, is the
condition almost approaching slavery
under which the settler was placed,
which was most certainly a mistake.
Another lesson is the fact that Govern
ment assistance does not spur the
great majority of everyday individuals
TO greater activity. The men looking
for Government allowances were APP
parentIy not the men to go TO work
and improve their surroundings. The
experiment shows that direct Govern
ment paternalism is not healthy. Men
must be obliged to work, and they
must be allowed more individual free
dom than allowed by the New Zealand

The Temps, Paris, gives new view
to the recent troubles in Armenia,
placing a portion of the blame upon
the Armenian conspiratOrs who, it is
claimed, had no other object than to
direct the attention of Europe to Ar
menia. So far it has been successful,
but the instigators of the plot have un-
chained a hurricane of Turkish fanati-
cism which has cost their brothers of
race and faith very dear The worst
is that the conspiratOrs have lowered
the justice of the cause which they pro
fess to love more than anything else in
the world. But all this does not tend
to excuse the outbreaks of fanatical
race hatred of which the Turks have
been guilty under the very eyes of the
Sultan Even criminals are entitled to
legal protection, how much more the
innocent persons whose misfortune is
to be related to criminals" In this
view of the matter the dishOnOr is di-
videdIy evenly although no white man,
no civilized man can way down in his
heart condemn the Armenian for re-
sorting to vigorous measures to attract
the attention of supposedly civilized
and righteous nations.

In one of it's recent issues the New
York Nation gleefuIly notes the failure
of the village settlement plan of New
Zealand, and quotes it as an instance
of the idiocy of the Popuiistic theories
now being forged to the from in the
United States. There are indeed
great many lessons to be drawn from
the land tenure systems of New Zea-
land, but it is by no means tue that
all the experiments have proved of no
practical value.
The village settlement started in
1898 was a scheme to give the poor
man a chance" and in fact State
funds were provided to help him along.
Each settlement contained no less than
twenty persons, to whom the Govern
ment allotted 80 acres of land and ad-
vanced $3.50 to each member, which was
to be repaid in installments, within
ten years, with interest at five per
cent. The governing power rested in a
Board of Trustees, which assigned land
to each individual. The Board was
also given supreme power to admit new
members and eXpel old ones for va
rious causes. A person expelled was
allowed to appeal to the General AS
sembly, whose decision was final. In
case of expulsion, withdrawal or DEATH
the owners property reverted to the
association, and the Board of Trustees
looked after the family as seemed best.
-, - ~ 80; -
this socialistic' scheme was largely due
to the arbitrary powers given the trus
tees. They were given authority to
conduct the settlement business with
the Government, assign lands, decide
what crops should be planted, buildings
erected and new industries established,
pass upon all purchases made by indi-
vidual members, superintend the labor
and fix the length of the days work,
distribute coupons in exchange for pro-
luce brought in. watch over the public
health and preserve peace and order.
Besides all this they were allowed to
levy fines not to exceed $50, punish for
breach of the rules, fix salaries and cut
down allowances at the store The set
tier was bound to obey or get out He
must live on the land given him, not
leave for a vacation of more than two
weeks, and could not undertake labor

An American physician writing re-
Orient calls attention to the fact that
the Suez canal is not altogether bene-
fetal, since it makes Egypt the high
way of travel to the Orient, and opens
the way for easy and speedy transmits
sion of cholera to Europe and America
by means of the annual pilgrimages
to Mecca, in which the Mohammedans
of India participate in large numbers.
The cholera now raging in Egypt had
its origin in last springs pilgrimage,
and it's victims already number 10000.
Certainly from the sanitarian stand
point the SueZ canal is not a success,
and on the same principle the fast
steamers of the Pacific and the numer-
GUS lines now carrying passengers to
and from the Orient are not without
their serious dangers, both to this
country and the United States. For
tunately, however, there is not the
same disposition on this side of the
globe to make even the public health
subservient to the demands of COM
merce With the powers controlling
the Oriental ports and the Suez canal,
the cholera reports are suppressed
and precautions cast aside for fear of
the injury which trade might suffer
by unnecessary" delay. We trust,
however, that the time will never come
in this country when public health is
made secondary to commerce.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

That is a sad story of the death of
Commander Newell, U. S. N, in the
prime of life; but it makes every true
American heart thrill with pride over
the history of a noble man who in real
ity gave his life for his country. 1t was
the sufferings and perils endured in
China when on a special mission of the
United States Government to avenge
the death of missionaries that finally
wore out Commander Newell, his pre-
vious illness having left him enfeebled.
In his last hours at Seattle, where he
was met by his wife, he lived over
again in delirium the horrible sights
of the Chinese tortures and executions.
By his death the Government loses one
of the best torpedo experts in the SER
vice. 1t was his close devotion to
study and experiment in this branch of
the service that brought on his first
Record.
