There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
it with local treatment. pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven caterrah
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the

Onions.
culturist.

1t is too early yet to sow the onion seeds
but nice seed beds should be gotten IN
state of preparation and fresh seeds or
dered from some reliable scotsman. So
plants are made ready by November l,
will answer every purpose. The onion
is as impatient of heat as the English
peas and there is nothing gained by at
tempting to start the crop when it is hot
and dry as it usually is In August or even
September generally. The only way to
make onions profitably is to sow the seeds
and raise your own plants and transplant
to nicely prepared soil. Try this plan.

moistened. Then evaporation from the
surface will saturate the lower layers of
air and greatly aid in preventing radi-
alton of heat from plants and shrubs.
This method has been fairly successful
in protecting citrus groves. The irri-
CATION should be done at as early an
hour as possible, preferably the day be-
fore frost is expected. Spraying the trees
with water has been even more success
full than irrigation. especially with plants
which are not injured unless the tenn
perature falls several degrees below the
freezing point, for in this case the water
will freeze before the fruit is injured
and Gin freezing will liberate large
amounts of heat, thus preventing any
radical change of temperature. The
spraying must be continued until the
air begins to warm up.
The best method of protecting from
frost is to provide thorough air drainage
for orchards, berries and garden truck.
Do not obstruct by such crops as corn or
orchard the mouths of ravines or the
points from which the cold air would
naturally flow out Avoid putting ten
der plants on low ground, especially if
the field is between higher points of
land. Hardy fruits may do well at these
points but the tender varieties should
be placed farther up the sides or on level
areas. Air drainage may be secured by
planting thick hedge half way down
the hillside md on the upper sides, max
ing ditch. If this can be filed with
water, so much the better, but in any
case the cold air coming down from the
higher levels will be carried off by this
barrier and not 60 further down to in
jure the crops. 1t is best however, to
plant these low lands to crops which
mature before frost comes, and keep
fruits and tender vegetables on higher
areas, or at least those that have
thorough circulation of air. This mat
ter of air drainage is being carefully
studied and IS of paramount Importance.
1t is much easier to-, by this means,
lessen the liability of frost than to pre-
vent it by other means, such as those
enumerated above.-American Agri-
culturist.

Opposition Telephone.

A few months ago a number of men in Clarksville, Tenn, anxious to double their money and at the same time offer the people a cheap telephone service, formed a company and started opposition to the then established com pany. They secured a large number of subscribers, because the rates they of fered were much less than those charged by the old company. Recently, how ever, the projectors of this enterprise issued a circular to the public, of which the following is an extract:
 'The Clarksville Telephone company hereby announces its retirement from business. We find after three months trial, that 1t is not practicable for two telephone companies to succeed in the same city, and with two companies the public is not benefited. On the con- trary, it tends to confusion and dissatis- faction. We find also that the ex- penses of conducting the business are more than we anticipated. ."-Electrical Review, January 29, 1896.

mestic wear Many women who prefer to do their own work do not want to make frights of themselves. Such a woman in a pretty cotton gown, With a great cap of soft muslin that bends pHettily about the face can easily make such q pretty picture of herself that more fortunate neiehbors will take to her own work just out of envy.
 There also appears in the illustration a serviceable little dress for a child of seven to nine years. Taken from brownish wooden stuff, the skirt shows a deep hem finished with two rows of machine stitching. The blouse waist fastens invisibly at the side and is trimmed with a collarette of the dress goods showing points in back and front and on each shoulder. It is ornament ed with simple design in soutaehe braiding, the same appearing on the stock collar, cuffs and belt. The latter has two buttons in front, and if these are made ornamental, they will consti- ute treasured memory with the child, for she will think her own inexpensive buttons superior to those of grown up folks that cost many dollars a piece, Lace collars to spread over the shoul- ders are used for very little maids and 1t is correct to use rich lace for her, too, if she is only a baby. But f6r girl of the age of the one shown here, real lace should not be used. q FLORETTE.

Much public attention centers on the national bond issue matter. The sue cess of the effort is no doubt assured. There are millions of gold to come into Uncle Samueps treasury and the new object lesson in national finances will, it is hoped, bear the right kind of fruit age. There is great room for improve
 ment in this country as to the popular understanding and appreciation of the sound money question. Chauncey M. Depew said some time ago that this nation was 8 great academy, likewise a great debating club. National ques- tions are getting a great airing now adays, far more than ever before, and it is said that truth is mighty and will prevail. There is hope for the republic if the saying holds good that In multi tude of counsellors there is safety All the people can't be fooled all the time by dena agogues and ignorant advisers. Therein lies hope for the country's fu- ture. Despite the uncertainties which have been attending the launching of the new bond issue, and despite the
 clustering demagogueism of the silver men and their blowing of trumpets just to let the country know that they are
 alive, the business of the country has alr elk signs of quickening and emerging again into gratifying activity. In few branches of industry dullness exists due solely to local causes, but the trend of
 business seems to be in the line of irl- country, vast in resources and eventu- ally with an era of sound money in- augurated as must in the end be the case, the prosperity of the nation under wise administration of public affairs seems inevitable.
 The republican leaders should steer wisely in this matter of the admins tration of the national finances. And
 as says the Hartford Courant:
 "These republicans Gin the Senate) do
 not greatly care about the partisan af- filiations of the Senate's employees. They do want their party to win in this years election, with sound candidates
 on a sound platform, and they don't like to see it needlessly compromised and handicapped. It has not been pleas ant to them to hear MT. Teller boast ing in the Senate that the committees could not have been reorganized this winter if pro-silver majority in the finance committee had not been assured in advance. They see nothing but dis
 advantage and discredit in an entang- ling alliance with populists?
 Is it wise? Is it prudent? Is it fair to the republican party?"

General Gomez, Commander-in-Ch Chief of the patriot army in Cuba, is slender in build, weighing but 140 pounds, and standing five feet seven inches in height. He is sixty years of age, appar- ently in the prime of his intellectual and physical powers. His movements are characterized by a remarkable alertness, and he stands as straight as an arrow. His face is naturally tanned by the out-of-door campaign life that he leads daily; his cheek bones are prominent and his chin firm. His hair and moustache are gray. As a horse man he is said to be the admiration of all his followers. He usually rides at the head of his army on it's marches and in its almost daily fights Officers who have served under him say that he is one of the greatest generals of mod ern times. Discipline among his fol- lowers is very strict, and his orders are celerity and exactness. Although his movements are characterized by eex- treme bravery and hardihood, he has said to his soldiers: Do not risk your life unnecessarily You have only one and can best serve your country by
 saving it. Dead men cannot fire guns. Keep your head cool, your machete warm, and we will yet free Cuba.'

Wolves and coyotes adapt themselves to circumstances and evmce great de- gree of cunning in outwitting schemes to destroy them. They quickly learn the tricks of the stockmen and the lat ter are put to their wits end to devise new methods of getting rid of the pests. Poisoned bait worked for a while and then failed, and the animals seemed to enjoy the ehagrin and discontinue of the stockmen at finding that this scheme didn't work. Even the baby wolves seemed to avoid the "doctored" meat. Shooting appears to be the only effective remedy, but the wolves are watchful and if they spy a man out with gun and dogs they rapidly dis appear. The latest dodge is this: A stout fish hook is baited with some tempting morsel beyond suspicion even by wolf or coyote. To the hook is at- tached a strong copper wire, which is then hidden in the grass, and to it's fur ther end stout anchor is fastened. The anchor is not too heavy for the wolf to move, but is too heavy to be hauled far This scheme has proved very successful. The wolf swallows the bait, and what follows can be imagined. Next day a cowboy rides over the range and shoots the anchored animals.

"A reasonable and proper adjustment of the duties and salaries of post office clerks is what is aimed at in the bill for the classification of post office clerks, introduced in Congress by ex-Postmas- ter Sperry, and the bill ought certainly to become a law. As has been well re- marked by contemporary, ''the pres eut classification is indefinite and un- satisfactory to both the post office de- partment and it's employees" The bill has been prepared with great care to meet the situation, and we'll merits the approval of Congress. The Postmaster Generals approval of the measure is all ready assured. Under the present in equitable system, it often happens that a clerk performing certain work in one office, at times receives but one-half the salary of clerk doing the same class of work in another city: while two clerks side by side in the same office do an equal amount of work of the same kind and yet one receives twice as much pay as the other" These are only sam pIes of the inequalities the bill seeks to remedy.

Lewis & Co,

There are few gourmets in
Honolulu who do not know
our Maltese Cross Hams.
They are cured expressly for
US and are infinitely better
than any other ham on the
market for boiling or roasting.
This brand Of ham is from
selected stock and is in the
pickle a uniform number Of
hours. They cost a trifle more
than ordinary hams but they
are fifty per cent. better in
quality.
If you want to roast one Of
these hams here's a good
recipe; Put it in cold water
and let it soak over night, then
pour off the water, wipe the
ham dry and put it into the
kettle again, cover with fresh
water and boil for three hours.
Then take it out, scrape the
rind when cool, put it into
another kettle and pour four
pints of cider over it and then
enough water to cover. Put
in a bay leaf, cloves, allspice
and cinnamon and allow it to
boil slowly for two hours more,
never letting the water boil
over. Then take it out, wipe
it thoroughly and dust it with
powdered sugar and cloves,
sticking whole spices here and
there in the fat. Put into the
oven and bake for an hour and
a half. The Maltese Cross
Hams are the only ones
suitable for cooking in this
way and we are the exclusive
dealers in them.
