One has heard many reasons for
Mr.. Gladstoue's good health and
long life. Taking regular and some
times violent exercise, chewing his
food carefully, sleeping certain set
tied number of hours during the "a,
being kept clear by his family OF
irritating newspaper criticisms, are
among them; but / believe he counts
his Sunday rest as the chief pro-
moter Of his physical welfare. For
many long year it is understood
Mr.. Gladstone has hardly ever devi.
ated from his manner OF keeping the
Sabbath. A writer who evidently
knows him well, describing the
Weekend of.the sage OF Hawarden,
says, from Saturday to Monday
morning Mr.. Gladstone lays aside
all secular business, and takes up his
special Sunday books; never dimes
out on Sunday unless it be TO cheer
a sick friend; never travels on Sun
day, and goes to church twice. Mrs.
Gladstone lends him her assistance
to maintain in the house a Sunday
air OF afternoon repose. When Her
Majesty used to invite him for Sun
day to stay night at Windsor, he
always travelled thither he day be-
fore, and made arrangements to
sleep there on Saturday night.
When he was at Downing street on
the Sunday he kept up the same
rigid observance of the day; when
say "rigd" don't mean that he
was formal dsciplin arian; his
room was cheerful, but there was an
utter absence of anything like secu-
lar business, aud an ever present
sense of the day. There was at all
times an open Bible in his dressing
room. This does not necessarily
imply religious devotion. One knows
very secular persons, almost -un-
believers, who still mske the Bible
a companion Erchange.

The Power of the Press.

A case in the District Court this
morning shows the influence of the
Press and the good done by in
dependent newspapers. Certain
gangs of hoodlums have for some
time been great annoyance to IL o
residents Of Lliha Street, and it was
becoming unsafe for Chinese to pass
in that vicinity after dark. The
Makaainana every week has de-
nounced he inactivity OF the police
in this matter, and THE INDEPENDENT
has on several occasic MS taken up
the cue of our Hawaiian contem-
porary, A young hoodlum, one Of
the worst in the gang was arrested
last night, while indulgipg in the
interesting sport Of striking China
man. Judge Wilcox referred to the
persistent complaints of the news
papers and expressed his satisfaction
that the police at last had begun to
take steps to break up the gang.
The prisoner was sentenced to 20
days imprisonment at hard labor
and to pay the costs of the Court.
And now the Makaainana smiles.

Journal has gone one step further
than Mr. Damon and advocates the
appointment OF an inspector OF
food. We have inspectors OF meat
and fish and we believe of milk,

should be liable to official inspec-
ton. We can see no reason for
anyone to take the advocacy for in

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, July 9, 1896.

To-day we have something to
say in regard to the De Laval
Cream Separators and Barber's
refrigerating machine.
AS you all know, the purpose
of the Cream Separator is the
expeditions and complete separ-
alton of cream from milk in the
most practical manner possible.
The De Laval Separator is the
invention of DR.. Gustaf De Laval
of Sweden, one of the most
practical scientists and useful
inventors of any time, and dis
tinguished generally as the Edi-
son of Dairying."
Since its introduction in 1879
the De Laval Separator has
wholly revolutionized dairying
methods, and won the fight on
behalf of centrifugal separation.
1t has alone brought about the
broad development and univers-
ally demonstrated superiority of
the new system to all other
methods.
There are two general ele-
ments in the construction, pur-
chase and use of the De Laval
Cream Separators; complete sep
aration, which is naturally the
primary purpose of the machine,
and the equally important one
of accomplishing that separation
in the most practical and econo-
mical manner.
The "De Laval" Power or
Creamery and Factory sizes of
Cream Separators are made in
eight styles, in addition to
the six sizes of the smaller
" Baby" or Dairy De Laval
machines for house dairying
and cream gathering factory use.
They range in capacity from
100 lbs. to 1000 lbs. per hour,
while the smaller ones run from
$50 to 700 lbs.
For household and small dairy
use the " Baby" or the Alpha
"Humming Bird" which can
be used by hand are recon-
mended. You will save at least
$40 year each COW by their
use, save time and trouble and
obtain the most perfect cream.
Barber's refrigerating machine
is another one of those marvels
of the inventive genius of the
age and has been especially de-
signed for small plants such as
creameries, butter, cheese and
egg storage houses.
We shall be pleased to furnish
fuller information to all apply
ing for it.

The Advertisers somersault in the
Good matter is as surp,i.ing as are
the actions Of some OF he officers Of
the army. We are creditably in.
formed hat an officer, a member Of
the military court which is to try
Captain Good, is busily engaged in
gathering evidence which will tend
to injure Colonel Mclean. 1t seems
in fact that, while ostensibly Cap
tain Good is the officer to be tried
by the court-martial, efforts will be
made to bring other officers before
it. The court then will superintend
an all-round washing OF the very
dirty linen OF Mr.. Dole's army. And
this is the best Government Hawaii
ever had-so they say!

What system is in vogue here in
regard to the empanelling of juries?
1t seems TO us that we see the same
men year in aud year out serve as
jurors. Even if man dies his name
is not scratched from he rolls, as in
the case Of William McGurn, who is
ordered to serve at the coming
August term, although he has been
dead aud buried for the past two
months. professional" jurors are
not desirable. The citizens who are
constantly called upon to serve on
juries lose that interest 10 the cases
before them, which is necessary 10
ensure a just and intelligent verdict.
There are surely people enough in
Honolulu suitable for jury duties
without using the repeating system.
