Rules and Regulations.

The calender has a few rules and
regulations which are as firm as the

day as July; December on the same
day as September. February, March
and November also being on the same
day. June and August alone do not
consent to be matched in this manner
These rules, however, do not hold good

Here is the way an exchange under.

NO BARBER POLE.
Upton >tansbury has Caught on to Another
Idea.


Idea.
Several week ago we spoke CT the
output of eggs by Upton Stansbury.
But since the report in THE lNDEPEN-
DENT regarding the eggs produced by
hens belonging to a barber at Bourbon,
he has been noticed by his friends to
have been very quiet. But today he
was smiling like May morning, and
10y close inquiry our reporter has been
enabled to discover the cause of joy
loudly manifested by our friend of
poultry fame
Upton became convinced that by fol-
lowing certain prescribed rules: a hen
coulC be compelled to attend closely to
her "knittlng," and lay two instead of
one egg per day. BY experience, he has
drugs and cereal, coated over with a
thin layer of protection, TO prevent adj
verse wind of free trade congeallng
moisture from the pores of the hen, he
would gain that point. But the color
of the shell was what he was after.
This morning he discovered when en-
tering the hen house that he had gain
ed the long looked for prize. Previous
ly he is said to have painted pole
delicate green, and that was the color
of the egg discovered this morning.
Upton now declares that he will
no doubt be able to produce eggs of
various colors in time for Easter Sun
day. We might remark in referring to
the egg found this morning, that we will
not youch for the absence of ducks in
his hennery.

Two Things Needed.

There are at this time two import
ant things needed for the betterment
OF the community. One OF them is "a
stone pile.
In the former there is plenty of evi-
dence to be seen of the need by noting
the score of small boys on our streets
every night. Other towns are aris-
ing to the urgency of this kind of an
ordinance, and surely it is needed badly
enough in Plymouth.

No thing in 1t.

One of the entranclng features Of the
Splritnast at the opera house this week
was the slate and letter writing. \
letter received from Arthur l.. Thomson

letter received from David McDutlie

nothing like the original They should
give these letters on the slate So they
could erase them before they are com
pared with the original Then again
conclusive evidence can be seen by re-
ferring to mortgage record No. ,. at the

made shows bungling job.

On the forty fifth day, last Fri
day, the last particle of can
cerous growth was removed. Since the
beginning of the treatment DIR. Roy has
been with his patient daily and has
acted almost day and night In the dual
capacity of physician and nurse.
Portions of the cancer have recently
been removed from time to time, but
when the last operation was performed
at 9 o'clock Friday morning the long
continued strain, added to the weight of
his seventy six years, exhausted the
patient and he sank into o state of un-
consciousness which las,ed until
o'clock. At this point his family des-
paired of his recovery but the doctor
had anticipated just that condition and
by the administration of restOratIves
brought him to perfect consciousness at
2 o'clock. The doctor remained with
him until Saturday morning when he
left him in the most promising condi.
ton and showing marked signs of rapid
recuperation with indications that his
strength and general health would, un
der the continued treatment, be COM
pletely regained in about ten days.
This case was particularly ag-
gravated one and difficult to cure. 1t is
the second case cured by DIR. Roy since
he came here few months ago and
seems to show beyond cavil that at
least one man can cure the alleged in
durable cancer.

Hawaiian Islands that the Cabiuet OF
President Dole had held several meet
iugs with regard to sending demand
to Secretary Olney for the recall of
United States Minister Willis, Hon.
GOrham D. Gilman, Consul of the ISL
ands in Boston, said to a reporter of
the Boston Journal:
"When | was in Hawaii a year ago
met Minister Willis, and he appeared
to be on quite friendly terms with the
Government. From my official posi-
ton, particularly in advance of receiv-
ing full knowledge of the cOmmuni-
cation sent by him to the Hawaiian
Government in refusing to attend the
celebration of its establishment of the
18th of last month, | cannot state

Cured on the part of Minister Willis
to cause President Dole to demand his

ture, as the President is of very pa
tient and long enduring disposition,

the Australia a few days ago, despite
his prescription. He has long been
wanting to return to the islands, if
only to end his days there. but the
Government has been Obdurate in his
case. Just previous to the sailing of
the Australia on Saturday Ashford
and Oriental Company and applied
for ticket. The company refused to
sell him one, and this for a season
raised indignation in the so called
"Sparta wing" of the Hawaiian
colony. The company persisting in
it's refusal to sell ticket, c.. w. Ash
ford, brother of the exiled attorney,
notified the Steamship Company that
they would be held responsible as
common carriers for such refusal. On
this subject John D. Spreckels said
yesterday:
Yes, Ashford applied for ticket
to our agent, and the latter asked me
if he should give it up, at the same
handing me letter from the Hawai-
ian Government giving a list of per-
sons who had been exiled and were
not to be returned without permis-
sion. We were also notified that if
we carried any of these persons to the
islands without permission we would
have trouble with the Government.
AS we have no desire to have trouble
with the Government we refused to
carry Ashford. His brother wrote us
letter, saying that we would be held
responsible for refusing to sell the
ticket, and alleging that he had some
litigation of great importance down
there. We referred the whole matter
to our attorneys, who replied to Mr..
Ashford's note, and that is the last we
have heard of the matter. As COM
mon CARRIERS we ought, perhaps, to
have sold the ticket, but we cannot
fly in the face of foreign governments
with which we have business"

Your committee interviewed Mr.
Marsden, the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, and also Professor Koebele,
relative to the work that has been
accomplished in this branch of the
Government and the plans for the
present biennial period.
The report of this bureau which
undoubtedly gives fully an account of
their work, is in the hands of the
printer and will not come into the
Senate for distribution before the ap.
preparation for the bureau will come
up for consideration. We will there
fore give briefly an outline of the
work accomplished.
Mr.. Marsden, as Commissioner OF
Agriculture, has charge of the old
Government nursery, and a new
nursery in Makiki valley where they
are trying all kinds OF foreign tropical
fruits. He also has charge of the Ma.
kiki forests above Punchbowl. We
are told that he has imported about
thirty new varieties of fruit trees, and
about the same number of forest
trees, besides 200 varieties of tree
seeds that they are endeavoring to
propagate.
They have also introduced a num-
ber of varieties of fiber plants and
the nursery, and also distributed
throughout the islands. We under
stand that they distributed from the
nursery, throughout the islands last
year, Ii, 500 trees and planted out and
cultivated q, 500 forest trees.
The office work of the department
undoubtedly takes up most of Mr..
Marden's time. He has a large cor
respondence with other countries re-
lative TO trees, shrubs, plants and
grasses it may be of benefit to intro
duce here. He is also constantly
called upon to reply to letters from
abroad, relative to the agricultural.
products of this country, by parties
who contemplate coming here to
reside.
Hut the most important work of
this department in connection with
Professor KOebele, is and has been the
study of the insect pests and blights
of this country, and of the lady bug
and parasites that will feed upon and
destroy these pests, and also the i'm
