The discussion on the Tax Bill was
continued, the sections relating to ex-
emptions being the only ones that gave
rise to any animated differences of
opinion. Under property exempt from
| taxation, Senator Brown moved to
| such a provision was unconstitutional.
| If this association is exempt it will
| open the doors for any amount of re-
| ligious controversy. The Y. NJ. c. A.
is the offshoot of church, and if we
exempt this we should have all the re-
| ligious associations on our hands. The
motion was seconded by Senator Hol-
stein.
Senator McCandless said that every
thing said of the Honolulu Library as
public institution could be said of
the Y. M. G. A. Their library was the
poor mans library, and better patron
lied than any other in town. The as
sociation maintained gymnasium and
bookkeeping and stenographic classes.
He hoped the item would remain.
Minister Damon said he believed it
his duty to protest against the exemp-
tion of the Y M. G.. A. We have lived
at peace with the various denomina-
tions because they have all felt that
they would be treated fairly. If this
door is opened there is no knowing
where it will end. The Y. M. G. A. is
an evangelical institution, and to free
it from taxation is to stir up strife at
future elections.
Senator Waterhouse said he was sur
prised at the stand taken by the Min
lister of Finance. Didn't he want good
influences put about his sons? Every
body was free to go to the Y. M. G. A.
The country needed more of these in
stitutions to protect the young men of
the country.
Senator Hooking wanted the question
referred to the Supreme Court.
Senator McCandIess cited instances
of bOOkkeepers now holding good pO-
sitiOns as a result of the instruction
given free at the Y. M. C.. A. If this
wasn't public work, what was it? Are
the attacks upon the association as a
church or as a school?
Minister Damon explained that he
attacked the item because the Y. NJ. G.
A. was an evangelical association. The
time was coming when the matter
would be brought into the elections,
and an attack made upon the consti-
tuition and strife would ensue similar
to what was going on in the United
States.
Senator Brown held that if one re-
ligious body or association were ex-
empt there should be a clean sweep.
To discriminate was dangerous.
Senator Horner sanctioned Senator
Browns remarks. Senator Browns mo-
tion was carried.
Senator Lyman asked to insert the
Hilo Library Association among the in
stitutions exempt. 1t was then noted
that the association was exempt by
special act. Senator Lyman withdrew
his motion on condition that the Ho-
nolulu Library was also stricken out
of the bill. Both these institutions are
exempt by law. The section passed so
as to exempt real and personal property
of the Government, Board Of Education,
incorporated or private schools, Queens
Hospital, religious societies, church

ton Bill
Minister Damon reported additional
data for the use of the Committee on
Taxation.
Senator Holstein presented petition
signed by prominent jewellers asking

idea of the petition. Senator Holstein
also presented petition from residents
of Kona, leasing Government land, for
a reduction of rent.
Minister Damon said the matter had
been before the Executive and that
that body had not deemed it advisable
to alter a contract made at a public
sale.
The matter was referred to the Com
mittee on Public Lands.
Reports of Committees.
Senator Schmidt presented the re-
port of the Committee on the live stock

bill to cover the matter. The report will
be considered with the bill.
Senator Wilcox presented favorable
committee report on the passage of the
solicitation bill.
Senator Lyman reported on the bill

ton of five members of the Council of

ous solicitation, passed the second read
ing and was made the special order for
Tuesday.
Senate Bill No. 13, giving the Govern
ment power to take possession of water
front property in Hilo, was taken up
section by section.
Minister Damon opposed the bill in
some of it's features. Senator Brown
approved of the principle but objected
to some of the details of the bill.
Senator Holstein-If you don't pass
this bill there1l be another committee
down here.
Senator Hooking thought the matter
ought to be referred to the Executive.
Senator Brown moved the bill be
tabled. Lost.
On motion of Senator Hooking the
bill was referred to the Executive.
Third Reading of Tax Bill.
Senate Bill No. 9, relating to internal
taxes, was taken up section by section
on third reading. After Section Sen
ator McCandless introduced a new sec
ton providing for taxpayers to work
out their personal tax at so cents per
day. Senator Hooking endorsed the am
endment.
Minister Damon offered an amend
ment so that the taxpayers should re-
celve Il cents day, thus having the
tax worked out in seven days.
Senator Hooking said SO cents a day
was what was usually paid by planta-
ton laborers on the other islands, but
admitted that so cents a day was hardly
arge enough for Honolulu. He favored

1t is strange freak of leprosy to follow
or thrive along coast lines 1t is found
from India to Kamohatka; occasionally
along the Atlantic coast in North America
from Iceland TO the Gulf. IL is common
in Egypt and throughout Africa. in the
Azores, Brazil, Central America, the
West Indies, Mexico, and especially in
the Hawaiian Islands.
Leprosy has been found among Chinese
immigrants in California and as far
north as British North America and in
Alaska. 1t has even been carried to
Chicago. In all countries where the dis
ease is common, hospitals Tand houses of
refuge for lepers are maintained. 1t will
be recalled that the Bible referred to the
leper as an unclean being, and the dis
ease was mark of sin. Whether the
last expression was figurative is not GER
tainly known. Authorities have not
positively discovered the cause of it's RI
gin but it is generally agreed at this
day that leprosy Is due to species OF
bacillus, and it is believed that if one
were inooulated with the germs genu-
inc case of leprosy would result.

The model from which the drawing

is heavy unbleached cotton cloth or

heavier stuff of warm cream color can
be used if preferred. The advantage of
the simpler material lies in it's cheap

THE CURTIS RABBIT.
A Decided Novelty and a Great Castro

a Decided Novelty and Great Castro
nomic Success.
One of the recent developments OF
the epicureanism for which the Quaker
City is famous is a chatting dish club,
an interesting novelty in it's way. A
number Of the best known gormands
in the city meet regularly for supper,
each man in his turn filing the office of
cook aud being compelled by the by
laws to prepare supper in chatting dishes
for the entire party. At recent
meeting David A. Curtis, one of the
founders of that i'll fated paper, The
Cook, was the guest and surprised the
club with genuine improvement on
the old fashioned Welsh rabbit. 1t was
unanimously declared a success, and the
club passed vote of thanks to Mr.. Cur
tbs, in return for which he told his rec
ipe.

bit for a dozen years." he said, "but
only this winter have I succeeded in
making one that seems perfect to me-
AS you have seen. use one egg to o
pound of cheese and have the egg thor
oughly beaten, yolk and white together,
before beginning to cook. A mere trif1o
of olive oil in the chatting dish is enough
to keep the cheese from burning or
sticking to the dish, and VIXEN the oil
is fairly hot put in, not the ordinary
mild dairy cheese. which is generally
used, but soft cream cheese. 1t melts
rapidly, and while it is melting I sea-
son it highly. Seasoning is, of course,
always matter of individual taste, but
I use salt, white pepper, which I prefer
to cayenne, dry mustard, worcestershire
sauce and plentiful sprinkling of curry
powder.
'"Then, just as the cheese is almost
melted, pour in gill of stale lager
beer to the pound of cheese instead of
the ale which is ordinarily used. That
is again matter of taste, but prefer
it to ale. Then I stir quickly for mo-
mentor two and add the egg very slowly,
stirring furiously the while. If the
cheese is good and the heat is exactly
right, the paste will puff up into very
light cream, as you saw it do just now.
The toast, of course, is already prepared,
and the plates are hot; so all that re-
mains is to pour this cream over the
toast and eat Immediately.
The reason | cut the toast into dice
before cooking the cheese was to give
you the pleasure, which was certainly
unexpected to you, of eating what l
have modestly named the Curtis rabbit
with a teaspoon. I may say that [ have
tried the dish on a number of people
who are fond of Welsh rabbits, but who
do not dare to eat them on account OF
their difficulty of digestion, and not
single person has experienced the slight
est trouble afterward -
The club agreed unanimously that
the new dish was not only decided
novelty, but toothsome success. 1t was
certainly as light as whipped cream,
and, as the cook declared, was readily
to be eaten with teaspoon. Moreover,
though it was by no means SO substan-
tial Wand as the rabbit made OF
pressed cheese, it's flavor was far more
delicate, l.. N. M.
