INVITING ON FACTs.-Two men
were quareling. One of them threat
ened to shoot the other. The threat
ened man, in revival of an old piece OF
sarcasm, asked:
"Where do you bury all your dead" "
Just then an excited man drew the
satirist aside and said:
"My gracious, you ought not to talk
that way!"
(which way ?"
"Asking that man where he buries
his dead"
"Why?"
because he is physician"

peach and apricot stones. They are
washed and boiled in clean water,
dried in the sun, and put into chintz
or printed linen bags. When hot ap-
plications are required for tooth or
earache or rheumatic pains, one OF
these bags is made thorougly hot in
the oven and laid on the affected part.
A bag of fruit stones, thus heated, is
good for cold feet. The stones give a
pleasant, spicy scent, and retain the
caloric for a long time.

p@- The genial pastor of one of the
suburban churches, whose salary is
somewhat in arrears at present, stepped
into the store of one of his parish
ioners the other morning and asked to
see some corkscrews-very large and
strong, ones he explained. "Why, DIR.
-, what in the world do you want
with such an article, anyhow ?" asked
the dealer. "My dear sir" replied the
doctor, as quick as flash, ~ want a
corkscrew large enough to give me
some assistance in drawing my salary "
The story reached the ears of the con-
gregation, and the Indebtedness was
cancelled forthwith.

CHICKEN LICE.-Mix one-half ounce
of carbolic acid with a gill of fresh
lard and rub some of the mixture we'll
into the breast and body and under
the wings of the mother hen. DO this
Just at night. Coal oil may also be
used on young chicks if used sparing-
ly. Dip the finger in the oil, and just
touch the head and under the wings.
IF care is taken to have the hen and
her chicks come from the nest free
from lice and the coop is well dosed in
every crack with coal oil, the chickens
will not be troubled with lice. In this
case, as in many others, prevention is
easier than cure.-Prairie Farmer.

turpentine has proved of great service

1t is called the Kapiolani Home. This
| is also under the care of the Franciscan
Sisters. DR.. Thompson visited it and
saw all the girls, who did not seem to
find their lot very hard. Altogether
they must have spent, he says, about
100000 on the settlement, of Govern
ment money, during the past 80 years.
He is too courteous to make any dis
paraging remarks about the medical
men and their treatment or diagnosing
of leprosy in the Islands, but it is quite
evident that he has nothing to learn
from them on this point. Indeed, the
contrary would appear to be nearer the
mark. Their Contagious Diseases Act
however, is run on quite modern lines
by DR.. Myers, and with this DR.. Thomp-
son was more than pleased.
The Board of Health there used to
consist of the Minister of the Interior,
who was president ex-off1cio, and three
members. The law did not require that
these members should be medical men;
but, as a matter of fact, the board has
/. never been without one medical man
on its list. In 1887 the constitution was
altered and a medical man became the
chairman. That was tried for two years
and then another change was made
The Minister of the Interior was again
made chairman ex-off1cio, but the num-
Der of members was increased, and they
were never without two medical men on
the board. In 1898, under the Republi-
can Government, another change was
made and the Attorney General was
made chairman ex-OfficiO, with three
medical men and three laymen on the
board. All the medical members of the
board are now working members Nor
is the chairman mere fgurehead; he
presides at all meetings and takes an
active part in the management None
of the members are paid for their SER
vices on the board. They have a num-
Der of what are known as agents.
The chief agent at Oahu superVises all
the rest. 1t is the business of all these
people to hunt up lepers, and the doc
tor thinks that they get very good in
formation as to likely cases.
Dr. thompson was very much pleas
ed, not only with his reception on the
Islands, but with the Islands them
selves. Honolulu is a very fine place,
with beautiful wide streets and large
public buildings. 1t is a very favorite
resort for Americans from the Pacific
coast. The place is crowded with the
bikes" Everybody rides one, in fact.
At any rate, there is good deal more
wheeling than in this colony. 1t only
remains to add that the doctor feels
much invigorated by his trip and is
again ready for active work.

MERCHANTS PATROL.
Will be Started i'm Honolulu by
w. l.. Bowers OF Seattle.

There is about to be started in the
city Merchants Patrol, the object of
which is to keep a vigilant lookout on
all premises during the night, to see
that the doors are locked, to look
into back yards where access is possible
and to keep a loookut for any signs of
fire; in fact to establish a guardianship
over places of business during the
night time.
w. l.. Bowers, the man who is start
ing the patrol, has been in the country
about year and during that time has
become well acquainted with Honolulu.
He was lieutenant in the Seattle polite
force for about seven years, was on the
United States marshal's staff and was
deputy sheriff in Albany Co., Wyoming.
Aside from these he has held other
positions of trust which have made him
thoroughly competent to act In the
capacity which he intends here.
It is the plan of Mr. Bowers to run
the Merchants Patrol on the same gen.
eral plan as that of San Francisco
where the men constituting it hold
commission from the police depart
ment detailing them as special officers.
He started to make canvass yester-
day and within very short space of
time succeeded in getting the follow
ing on his list: J. ]. Egan, ID. B.
Smith, G. J. Mccarthy, It. May, e. A.
jacobson, H. E. Mcintyre, Honolulu
Planning Mill, j. A. Hopper, w. s. Luce,
and II. F. Wichman. These business
houses will contribute one dollar a
month to Mr.. Bowers.
The idea of a patrol is very much
favored by the business men, and Mr..
Bowers is assured of success in his
venture.

NEWS FROM KAU.
Kilauea Active and MOkuaWeoweo a
Bit Threatening.
Drought on the Kau Side-Hawafian
Agricultural Company Stops
Grinding-Shark Fishing.

KAU (HawaiD, July 30.-The fire
the lake rapidly rising. Sunday night
about O'Clock it must have been very
active, as the reflection was seen by
Captain Simerson and officers on board
the w. G. Hall while lying at Punaluu.
1t lasted about five minutes and then
disappeared. The Captain then looked
toward the summit and saw steam ris-
ing from Mokuaweoweo. It was also
seen by several others during the night.
Perhaps MOkuaweoweo intends to keep
Kilauea company.
The drought is still on and looks as
if it intends to stay for some time,
which will be very detrimental to the
plantations.
Hawaiian Agricultural Company, on
account of the scarcity of water, has
shut down and will not grind again
until they get rain.
Naalehu mill sent a broken roller to
Honolulu by the Kauai HOnuapo and
Hilia mills are grinding.
The steamer Kauai arrived at Ho-
nuapo Friday, the oath, and left the
next day with 6,863 bags of sugar.
The w. G. Hall received 3,813 bags
of H. A. Co. sugar and 2,156 bags of
HOnuapo.
Had a light shower of rain Monday,
not enough to be of any benefit to the
cane.
Kau has been favored with a number
of visitors during the week. DR.. VIII
Iiams and bride arrived to take the
Hall. Joseph Marsden passed through
en- route to Kona. DR.. Birnie, Hon. w.
r. Castle, Messrs. French and Ables
and Miss Kelsey also passed through
on their way to visit Pele. They rode
over from KOna.
Captain Simenson caught a 20-foot
shark at Punaluu, and is going to send
the head, backbone and jaw to Hon.
Leicester Holme, New York.

saying he must be in San Francisco
on the 18th of March TO set sail for the
Islands; but instead of going to San
Francisco he has been going over the
country defrauding many people by his
slick scheme
He was of good appearance, seemed
to have plenty of money and used his
acquaintances elegantly. He was about
feet inches in height. weighed about
100 pounds, high forehead left eye was
crossed, and was a very clever talker
Upon INVESTIGATION il was discovered
that he is a worthless fellow and owns
nothing a criminal and an all-around
confidence man. The Hawaiian papers
warn the American people to beware Of
him, and the papers to publish his ca
reer.
He was in Evansville, Ind. in April
and when he left that place he went to
an attorney there and implored him to
stand for his board bill and to get him
transportation TO ST. Louis, where he
said he had relatives and would make
arrangements for remittance to be
sent to the attorney. IL is needless to
say that the remittance never came.
He is next heard of in Rockford, ILL.,,
and told there that he was going to
Scotland to contract for sugar sacks for
a firm in Honolulu.
A clipping from Fort Wayne paper
says the following regarding him:

N. b. Breckenridge of Honolulu. rep

ment, came to Rockford on business.
He met Miss Hazel McManners, very
pretty young lady, who is also a talent
ed elocutionist, and they fell in love
and became engaged within a few days.
Thursday they left for Chicago, where
the young lady will remain with her
sister, Mrs Fred Belford until July,
while he goes to Scotland on business.

THE RING

We are wont to talk learned about
the Queensberry rules, but very few
have any degree Of acquaintance with
them.
The rules make no reference to clinch-
ing or hitting when clinched, but it is
presumed that the referee must use his
best judgment as regards what is gen.
orally considered foul fighting on the
part of either contestant. The MARQUIS
of Queensberry rules read as follows:
Rule Weights: Bantam, all under
11S; feather. lis to 1913; light, 1928 to 1873:
welter, 1873 to 14S; middle, 14S to 15S
heavy, all over 1853.
Rule 2-No wrestling or hugging al
lowed. The rounds to be three minutes
duration and one minute allowed for
resting between each round.
Rule Sin all contests two time
keepers shall be appointed and the
referee under no circumstances shall
keep time.
Rule 4-During the contest If either
man fall through weakness or otherwise
ne must get up unassisted, ten seconds
being allowed him to do so; the other
man meanwhile to retire to his corner.
and when the fallen man is on his legs
the round is to be resumed and con-
tiued until the three minutes have ex-
pired; and If one man fails to come to
the scratch in the ten seconds allowed
the referee shall give his award in favor
of the other man.
Rule 5-A contestant hanging on the
ropes in helpless state, with his feet
on the ground, shall be considered
down. No seconds or any other persons
but the referee to be allowed in the ring
during the round.
Rule 6-When either contestant Is
Knocked down within the allotted three
minutes, he shall be allowed ten seconds
to get on his feet again, unassisted
Rule 7-The gloves to be fair-sized

cred down, and If struck while in this
position it will be considered foul No
shoes or boots with spikes allowed.
Rule S-That any pugilist voluntarily
quitting the ring previous to the deIib-
crate judgment of the referee being oh

Rule 9-That the seconds shall NOT

discharge of their duties to their princi-
pals.
Rule 10--If either man shall willfully
throw himself down without receiving
a blow, whether blows shall previously
have been exchanged or not. he shall
be deemed to have lost the battle; but
that the rule shall not apply to man
who in a close slips down from the grasp
Of his opponent, or from obvious rea-
sons.
Rule If glove shall burst or come
off 1t must be replaced Immediately to
the satisfaction of the referee. Any
tampering with the gloves, by forcing
the hair from the gloves or otherwise,
shall be considered foul.
Rule 12-An honest and competent
referee who is familiar with the rules
shall be chosen, whose orders shall be
promptly obeyed, and his decisions in
all cases shall be final. In order that ex-
hibitiOnS may be conducted in quiet
and pleasant manner it is suggested
that the referee should always request
all persons present to refrain, while a
contest Is in progress. from any loud
expression or demonstration.
jim Corbett tells good story on HIM
self says the Chronicle. While in Eng
land the Californian very naturally Wis
tied the rooms of the National Athletic
club, where the big glove fights held in
London usually take place.
The main room is decorated with the
pictures of celebrated fighters from all
corners of the earth. There We're big
pictures of Pier Jackson in fighting uni
form and In everyday attire. They oc-
cupied the most conspicuous positions.
Corbett looked for a picture of himself,
but he could not see one at first, but
finally small one was discovered in a
remote corner.
OF the Sharkey Corbett match to take
place next Wednesday w. w. Naughton
says in the Examiner: There is sus-
picion among some of Corbett's friends
that this eagerness of Sharkey's back
ers to wager that the sailor won't be
knocked out foreshadows a runaway
and-fall-down fight on the part of Shar-
key. If this idea gains ground to any
extent it will mean that there will be
little or no betting on the Knockout
feature. 1t is fair to Sharkey, however.
to state that he has from the first de-
clared his intention of making a fair
stand-up battle of it, and there has been
nothing in his utterances since that time
to suggest that he purposes emulating
Peeka-Boo Robinson. There are tricks
in every trade, of course, and despite the
sailors bellicose talk, he may, when the
time comes, seek the floor on every pos
sible OCCASION and thus battle Corbetts
efforts to put him to sleep. BY doing so
he may win few side bets for his
friends, but he will not enhance his rep
utation any.
