The case against A. w. Howe and

THEIR FETE DAY.
The Portuguese Celebrate Their In
dependence Day with Patriotic
Fervor.

dependence Day with Patriotic
Fervor.
In the heart OF every honest man
wherever he may be found in every
cline, there beats silent and yet
paramount thrill of love for the
land OF his ancestors, even il it be
not the land OF his own birth. He
has imbibed into his blood the ira
ditions of bis race, or of the Flag,
under which he was born, and Oft
times, perhaps, he allows imagin-
alton to play freaks OF fancy as to
his suppose, inherent rights. Es-
pecially is this so with the ancient
and so-called dying races, whose
memories arc sustained by their
brave and livelier sons who seek
fame and fortunes in other lands, in
the hope Of being worthy sons OF
worthy sires.
There are few more interesting
events chronicled in historical annals
than in the history of Portugal. The
Mother OF Navigators and Adven-
turers, the land of Prince Henry and
Camoens. Her maidens of adven-
ture in discovery, of literature and
art, need not blush before the his
torian OF other countries. Since the
days OF the Gods to the present uti-
litarian age, she may have changed
in possessions and power, but she
has left worthy heritage to her
children; the idea of colonization,
the art of raising stalwart and
honestly bred children, the manly
and persevering toll OF men and
women alike, and above all the
acquisition Of happy homesteads
and education of their children in
foreign lands.
No wonder then that the import
ant Portuguese Colony in our midst
and the Hawaiian Islands are
deeply indebted to them in many
respects-gleefully celebrate their
Independence Day-derived from
some three hundred and more years
ago-to-day. Some day perhaps,
"our BEST government" will recog-
nize their merits and acknowledge
their national holiday.
In the meantime, the Portuguese
celebrated on their own account
to. day as they are doing all over the
world in most joyful manner. 1t

We take the following extract
from the Advertisers report of the
recent meeting Of the Board of
Education:
The resignation of Piianaia from
the Pahoehce School was upani-
mously accepted, the cause being
his refusal to take the oath Of allegi-
ance to the Republic Of Hawaii. He
had been instructed by the secretary
OF the Board of Education through
the school agent OF his district that
he must take the oath and the only
answer was given the Board in his
letter Of resignation.
All honor to Mr.. A. ST.. g. Piianaia
whose sen.e Of honor seems to have
been nicer than that OF the persons
who voted TO accept his resignation
But why select a Hawaiian to vent
your spleen upon, dear Board of
Education, when there are foreign
born teachers who have not taken
the oath OF allegiance to this "funny
little republic7

TIE INDEPENDENT is pleased to see
that the p. @. Advertiser is in its
local columns assisting in calling
attention to the scandal of the
mites OF Chinese girls flower ped.
ding. The INDEPENDENT was in hopes
that Mr.. Frank Damon, or some OF
the self e1alting missionary friends
OF the Chinese, would have prompt
ly taken the matter up, and captured
tho infants for their Christian
Schools. 1t is not too late for them
to do it now, before tho children are
ill-treated. Apart from the chances
OF injury to them, the children are a
nuisance in daylight, and especially
annoying after DARK. We have no
objection to the pretty flower girls
of other countries who, OF respon-
sible age and with good taste, can
supply their customers and protect
themselves-if they wish to. But
we do protest against mites of chill
dren learning the fatal path of the
pavement.

A SOUDANEsE SURPRISE.

Dervishes Found Fighting In Armor Left
By the Crusaders 200 Years Ago.
The British expedition against the
mahdi, which has now reached DON
COLA on the Nile, has made some very
surprising discoveries.
On the bodies of many of the dead
Dervishes was found ancient armor,
which has been pronounced by experts
to date back to the Crusades. 1t Is,
therefore. between 600 and 700 years
old. Some Of the Dergishes were also
using arms of the same antiquity.
These Dervishes are partly descended
from Arabs, who wandered from Asia
Minor into Egypt, and thence into the
Soudan, where, in combination with the
aborigines, they have proved the
Gercest and most fanatical race in ex-
istence. Their ancestors were no doubt
among those who fought against the
Crusaders.
The mahdi and his followers have
fallen far below the chivalrous Saladin,
who nursed his adversary, Richard
Coeur-de- Lion, back to life, and the
Saracens. On the other hand, the mo-
tives of the British expedition are less
unselflsh than those of the Crusaders.
1t has also been reported by explorers
that they have found in the hands of ma
tives in the heart of Africa weapons
closely resembling revolvers. although
they must have been centuries older
than the modern form of those firearms.

The Wonderful Phapocvtes.

When drop of human blood is placed
between two plates OF glass and exam
ined with microscope it is seen to con-
tain, besides the minute disks which
give it its red color, little whitish
grains called white corpuscles." If
the glass is warmed to a temperature
equal to that of the human body these
corpuscles, or phagocytes, as they are
otherwise called, will be seen to put out
ana retract minute processes, which, as
If acting the part of feet, enable the
phagocytes to crawl over the surface of
the glass. The Russian naturalist.
Metchnikoff, has discovered that the
phagocytes in our blood feed upon the
microbes of infectious diseases, when
such microbes are introduced into the
system. Sir Joseph Lister, president of
the British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, believes that this ac-
ton of the phagocytes, which is scien-
tifieauy named "phagocytosis," sis the
main defensive means possessed by the
living body against its microscopic
foes" Whenever a wound is made in
nypart the body the phagocytes. like
well-trained soldiers, rush to the breach
and make war upon the putrefactive
microbes endeavoring to enter the sys-
tem.-1outh's Companion.

A fattening hog should never quit
eating, hungry; neither should he leave
feed to be eaten up later on. 1t is
good economy to watch carefully each
time they are fed and see that they are
not overfed, and at the same time b3ye
all they want. a fattening hog that
is thoroughly satisfied cares for little
but to eat and sleep, and if he does
this heartily he will lay on fat quite
rapidly. Another item that must be
looked after carefully, and that is to
see tIat they have fresh, pure water
every day, no matter if slops are fed
regularly or milk given; nothing of
this kind will satisfy the animal or
auench the thirst so fully as pure,
fresh water, and if the pigs do not have
access to it in some way il should be
supplied to them in clean troughs, and
they ought to have it daily. just as reg
ularly and as literally as they are fed.

FALL OF A MoNoIiIH.
Maui Rock. Striking West yirginil
Curiosity. In No Mora

Curiosity. 10 No More.
Until few days ago there stood
about two miles south of Hamlin, in
Lincoln county. w. Va, on high. rocky
point overhangipg vast expanse Of
rugged country, one of the most strik-
Ing curiosities in the land, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Maui rock has
been known as long as the country has
been inhabited. The peculiar formation
of the vast monolith gave il the name of
Maui rock, the column supporting the
capstone resembling the handle of a
primitive maui. The height had never
been measured, but must have been 100
feet. Some IS feet from the top the coll
umn widened uniformly, making the
circumference some 60 or 20 feet. The
handle. or shaft. was probably so feet
In circumference. 1t was almost round.
The rock is of sandstone of the usual
hardness.
Near the base there were perceptible
crumbling and indications of decay,
and this disintegration has been going
on for ages. until finally it weakt ned
so that the strain could be borne no
longer and il fell.
Thousands Of visitors from Ohio, Ken
lucky, Virginia and West Virginia cities
have been attracted thither, and picnic
and outing parties have been held there
almost daily during the summer months
under the shadow of the giant rock and
the foliage of the great oaks. A limb of
one of these monarchs overhung the
apex of the stone, and those who were
venturesome have frequently assembled
and passed to the top of the rock. which
was fat and afforded ample room for 20
or more persons.

FARM AND STOCK NOTES.

In order to produce superior beef,
the best beef herds of cattle must be
kept.
If the best health is maintained with
sheep they must be kept dry under
feet.
Sheep manure contains a large per
cent of the plant food contained in the
rations they consume.
Wheat bran can nearly always be fed
to young and growing stock during the
winter to an advantage.
One of the surest and best ways of Sc
curing vigorous, thrifty stock is to Sc
lect and mate good parents.
When il can be done in arranging the
pasturage for the hogs give the brood
sows the run of the wood land.
Rather more care is needed to not
over-feed when ground feed is given
than when whole grain is used.
For growing pigs milk and mill feed
made into slop with little corn makes
one of the very best winter rations.
Gentleness and firmness are two
necessary qualities to be employed in
the training of both horses and cows on
the farm.-Farmers Review.
