COMMITTEE ON RULES
1t Is Decided to Adopt those of Las
Year With Changes.
THE PURCHASE OF SUPPLIES
Duty of Which the Mayor Re-
! lieves the City Cierk-In Regard
to Water and Other Business
Should be Studied.

The committee on rules and order OF
business of the council met yesterday
afternoon. 1t was decided to adopt last
years rules with a few changes. One
OF the changes is in Rule s. which per-
| mits member of the council to call
| Tor division OF the question, some
thing which has not been allowed here
J tofore.
Another change is in Rule "a. where
the change is made that orders for
supplies must me made by the mayor
instead of by the city clerk, as hereto
fore. This rule now reads as. follows:
No supplies of any kind shall be or
dered, and no debt incurred on behalf
of the city, except upon the written or
der of the chairman or acting chair
man of a standing committee. or the
mayor, and in all cases bills against the
city shall be refused payment unless
accompanied by such written order au-
thorizing them. 1t is hereby made the
duty of the city clerk to return at once
all bills against the city not accompa-
MED by such orders"
In regard to standing committees II
is recommended by the committee that
the Judiciary committee shall consist
of one alderman from each ward in
stead of consisting. as at present, of
the chairman of each standing commit
tee. 1t is also provided the street and
diity SIdll COnSlSl OF one
alderman from each ward instead of
EIGHT members" simply. as at present.
Provision is also made for a water
committee. 1t is also provided that no
committee shall contain more than one
member from any ward. and no COM
mittee shall be made up entirely of the
members of any one political party.
Outside of these points the rules are
the same as heretofore. They should
be closely studied by the aldermen in
order that some of the dissensions of
the last council may be avoided.
The particular attention of the aid
ermen is called to the following rule,
which escaped the notice of the last
council:
Rule 26.-"All contracts exceeding
5000 in amount shall be let to the lowest
responsible bidder. No contract shall
be let or appropriation made at any
special meeting. exceeding in amount
the sum of 5000 for any one purpose"
Rule 6 might also be studied with
profit. 1t reads as follows:
I'm speaking. no personalities or re-
Elections calculated to disturb the har-
mony or decorum of the council shall
be allowed. Any one offending in this
respect shall at once be called to order
by the chair and shall not proceed un"
less permitted by the council to do so.
An appeal in this case from the chair
shall be decided without debate"

An Odd Profession.

young girl living in the eastern
district is sorely puzzled about choos-
ing a profession by which she may
earn a living. She says: II hate busi-
ness, I'm stupid at my books and
just love animals and am never so hap
by as when / can be with them" Her
mother a sensible woman, has been
looking about for some way to please
the willful child. Perhaps the expert
ence of Miss Edith Oakley of Toronto
may help to solve the problem. She Is
the first woman to qualify as a veterin-
airy surgeon and has become an expert
in the treatment of milch cows. There
is no reason why girls should not pur-
sue such a study IL they wish to do so.

The Month of May.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t has come, the month about which
poets have sung and painters raved
The reason for the latter's preference
lies in the delicacy and variety of color
in the unfolding leaves and blossoms
Even the name of May has honored
this month above all others. Its god
mother is Maia, the brightest of the
Pleiades, the daughter of Atlas, wife
of Jupiter, and the mother of Mercury.
The church has also exalted IL, calling
II the month of Mary and devoting II
to the special memory of the virgin.
Nevertheless, Lowell has dared to say
that 1t "is a pious fraud of the alma
nae" and to declare his preference for
June. But Lowell lived in Boston,
where summer breads to go. Here on
Long Island violets are In bloom, the
fruit trees were in blossom more than
a week ago and we know that spring is
surely here. and are ready to crown the

ANALYZING THE PLEASURE OF
CYCLING.

M. du Pasquier takes exception to the
theory of DR.. Tissie, a gentleman who
has been for years past closely inquir-
ing into the psychological side Of cy--
cling, to the effect and the pleasures OF
the bicycle arise from the numerous
associations Of ideas provoked by the sf-
fort to secure equilibrium" M. du Pas
quier questions whether these associa-
tions of ideas really are 30 very numer-
Gus. He believes that the explanation
lies simply in the fact that the cyclist
is In motion. 1.-THE effect produced by
the motion" he says. "is the exaltation
of all the faculties of physical activity;
these are the new conditions that pro-
woke the sensation Of health and pleas
ure. Thus 1t is possible for the charac-
ter to entirely change; talkative people
become taciturn and taciturn people be-
come talkative; polite and well bred peo.
pie will become rude, and so on"
The French scientist is here little too
dogmatic upon the influence of the ex-
altation of cycling on character, though
1 am disposed to admit that there is a
certain amount of truth in what he says.
1t is not the character that changes, but
certain phases of 1t that are brought into
relief; a man who is talkative on a BIZ
cycle may be frequently taciturn when
he Is off, but he will be talkative enough
in agreeable company or after good
dinner. The definition that the pleasure
Of cycling arises from motion and the ex-
altation Of physical activity also seems

INVENTOR OF MATCHES.

France is about to honor with statue
the man who did not invent lucifer
matches. In 1880, it seems, Mons. Nico-
let, professor of chemistry at Dole, in
the Jura, was illustrating before his
class the explosive properties of chic
rate of potash, when it struck one of his
pupils, Charles Sauria by name, that
combination of phosphorus with the de-
tonating chemical might furnish far
more satisfactory means of kindling a
fire than the old flint and STEEL He SET

iments and those of his friends were at

German manufacturers Without wish

nous glory, which appears to be the only
reward OF mis- ingenuity, patriotism conf

real inventor. for one of our own nation.
MIR. Walker of Stockton, by the use of
chlorate of potash and sulphide of anti
mony, was making friction matches as
early as 1929. Young Sauria very likely
never heard of his process, but the Ger
mans certainly did, and it was from his
original idea that their trade sprang up
and fructified, until the composition of
cheaper wood and labor and of improved
machinery drove them out of the market

EFFECTS OF TEA SMOKING
Serious Nervous Complaints Arc
Brought On by the Habit

Physicians and specialists on nervous
troubles are treating numerous cases Of
extreme insomnia and nervousness In
young women who come to them for
treatment without disclosing to them
that their condition is the result Of
practicing the new vice of smoking tea
cigarettes.
The habit is increasing. From obser-
vations of it's effects West Side phys
ician declares to the Sunday Press that
"a tea cigarette Is O genuine brain ex-
citant Anyone who uses 1t, and yet
does not work with her brain. would go
half crazy with nervousness, but with
those who do brain work 1t is different,
for the stimulus produces strange In
tellectual activity.
After a couple of green tea cigar
cites q poem, for instance, will almost
write itself, I am told by one of my lit
erary patients. The effect of the tea
cigarette, while stimulating the brain
and its flow of thought acts as a pure
sedative to the rest Of the body, quieting
restlessness, uneasiness or actual pains
The after effects are bad II they have
not been worked off by unusual mental
work.
"At some houses green tea cigarettes
are handed round after dinner, and
reputation who give tea smoking par
ties twice q week.
'One woman to break off this habit
on which she had expended nearly $40
a week, has lately voluntarily placed
herself under private restraint. She
had concealed her habit from her hus-
band by using an artfully contrived
cigarette case. It resembled a bunch
of keys. each key containing one cigar
ette.
so much has the habit spread that
several tobacconists and drus1 SITS are
keeping tea cigarettes in stock for reg
ular customers.
THE active chemical principle of tea
Is theme, Just as caffeine Is of coffee and
nicotine Of tobacco. When theme is ad-
ministered to a frog or q small animal
1t is found that 1t chiefly influences SEN
sation, which caffeine or coffee does not
In larger doses theme produces spon-
taneous spasms or convulsions, which
caffeine does not do. This is. in fact, the
ultimate effect of smoking numerous
tea cigarettes. finally producing fits or
convulsions.
Theme also acts as local anesthetic,
quieting painful nerves. Green tea
contains much more theme than or1in-
airy black tea. So you can see that the
habit Of smoking tea cigarettes is ter
ribly perniciouS."

THESE May BECOME FELLow.c1TlzENs

to place the islands under British pro-
lection. This offer was accepted, but In
1S43 the complete independence of the
kingdom was declared by Breat Britain
and France.
Originally the Hawaiians were idol
worshipers. and in some of the remote
sections of the islands this form of re-
ligion still exists. Kamehameha did ev-
erything possible to wipe out idolatry
in his reign, and his successor followed
up the good work. The first missionaries
did not visit the islands until 1920; these
came from the United States, and now
more than three-fourths of the native
population are Christians.
All of the monarchs, with the excep-
ton of Llliuokalani, did much to elevate
the condition of the people. Kane
hameha I'LL, who reigned from 1924 to
1854, revised the government by ap-
pointing an assembly Of mobiles and a
council of representatives, based upon
the form of the English parliament.
For the most part the natives are in
telligent and progressive, and If the
fates SO decide. they may become in good
time citizens of the United States.
