Must Conquer If They Want shelter.

Tho German soldier, says the London
News, carries his own house on his back
that is to say, his share of shelter
tent. Tho stout pieces of waterproof
shooting arc Joined together so ~ to
form three sides of u square, and the
men are saved from the worst i'll wind
and rain. Tho idea of the shelter tent
in sections is no now one. The French
had it many years ago i'll their tcnte
d'abri 1t has many advantages. 1t re-
duccs the baggage Of the army, and it
enables the soldier togo into lodgings at
onco on reaching the scene Of the
hivouaC.
Troops often suffer miserable discom-
fort i'll waiting for hours for their heavy
tents. The Germans have no faith i'll
these CumbrOus cOntrivanCcs. They have
often sent whole armies into the field
without any sort Of shelter Their the
Dry is that if the mon win Il battle they
will find all they want i'll the towns and
villages, and that if they lose it they
will have no timo to pitch tents. The
shelter tent seems ~ compromise be-
tween these views,

Plants That Spread Quickly.

The dandclion Is an old world Hover,
not native in America, save far to the
north and on some of the highest OF
our western mountains. But somehow
it was brought here, perhaps from Eng
land, in old colonial times. Now we see
its golden heads and feathery balls at
every grassy roadside, the "clocks' the
boys and girls blow to tell the hour. A
few years ago farmers in the northwest
found u new weed, "a vile, prickly weed,
in their whcatiields In very short
time this weed, tho Russian thistle, has
spread over wide acres Of the best farm
land in that part Of the country and has
done great injury to the crops
How do these plants spread so fast
and so far? They arc not carried about
and planted. No one would be so fool
ish as to SOW Russian thistles. The
mother plant must have ways of her
own for sending her offspring abroad in
to the world. Plants propagate them
selves in two ways, from seed or from
buds. Sometimes these buds arc borne
ON slender runners. A strawberry plant,
after it has bossomcd begins to send
out such runners with buds, unfolding
tufts of leaves, along them. These tufts
are Mt first connected with the parent
plant, but later the runners between
break away, and each tuft becomes "a
new plant, Many grasses, like Bermuda
grass and the troublesome quick or couch
grass, have creeping stems, each Joint
sending out II bunch Of roots below and
bud on tho upper side. IL you try to hoo
up such grasses, you only make matters
worse, for each joint when cut Off is
ready to form IN independent plant.
Such grasses spread very fast and soon
take possession Of the land they get
into. Thomas H. Konrncy, Jr., III st.
Nicholas.

Too MUCH Importance cannot be
attached here at the crossing of the
roads to the fact that the business
men of the United States are reach.
ing out year by year in the field OF
commerce and that they are be-
coming extremely jealous in this
regard. There is a moving senti
ment in effect that an export trade
must be built up, and any opposi-
ton to this idea or this trend will
be punished, or crushed if possible.
The American merchants regard
Hawaii as being peculiarly market
Of their own, and they will prompt
ly and to the fullest measure resent
drift in any other direction, Just
now they are openly apprehensive
that the output Of the factories OF
Japan are to supplant American
goods here. Their alarm is OF
course somewhat exaggerated, but
nevertheless sharp heed must be
given it. Legislation is sometimes
accomplished over there with aston
ishing rapiditp. The strongest 10
cal consolation and the strongest
local protection is the presence OF

Representative Charles Morgan of Mis-
souri, is very mild hammered man, but
has record for personal bravery which
many might envy Hs was Union soldier
from Wisconsin and fought In many of
the greatest battles of the civil war. He
was repeatedly captured and made his es.
cape from Confederate prisons five times.
One of his escapes was extremely novel.
He and other prisoners We're locked up In

terror of Virginia for confinement In one
of the southern prison camps, of which
he had experienced foretaste on a pre-
vious occasion. A Confederate guard was
In the same car with the prisoners, to pre-
kept upon every movement. Morgan and
friend nevertheless managed to regain
their liberty under the eyes of the sentinel
While lying on their blankets they cut q
hole through the floor of the car with a
knife, .concealing the aperture with their
blankets until they had produced an open
Ing large enough to allow their bodies to
pass through. So quietly was the work
done that neither the guard nor their fel.
low prisoners surinised the truth. As soon
as an opportunity presented itself and the
car was dark enough to conceal their
movements they opened the aperture and
dropped through to the roadbed. They
gained the adjoining woods aud were fur
nished with provisions by an old negro
couple. In the course Of few days they
were again in the camp Of Union army.

LABOR organizations properly
conducted cannot but be useful, in
that they aid and upbuild the mid

Further their work, properly direct
ed, is largely educational. This OF
course refers or applies to genuine

machines. Here in Hawaii no or,

There are q great many use
full articles slowed away on the
shelves and in the dark corners
of stores around Honolulu that
never see the light of day be-
cause the dealers grow care
less. 1t is our policy to handle
good things and to keep them
before the public, giving the
people an opportunity of our
experience abroad, where new,
and often good things are
being constantly introduced.
A goodly portion of our second
floor is set apart for novelties
in household utensils and it is
really astonishing the number
of new things we have. They
are not all new, other dealers
have ideas for good things but
they are not always far reach
ing.
The Premier Egg Cup is a
good thing, a very good thing,
but it has never been sold here
to any great extent. There's
no question about this being
good, no doubt about their
usefulness, but the people, vul-
carly speaking, have not got
next to themselves ON the
subject.
The Premier Cup is made Of
white porcelain with a nickel
plated screw top attachment
The egg when taken from the
shell is dropped into the por.
celain cup, the top screwed or
and the whole business dropped
| into the water. When it has
cooked send the cup to the table
and one has only to remove the
lid and season the egg to taste
No danger of antiquated eggs
going to table, no misery from
burnt fingers caused by remov
ing the shell. Every thing il
as clean and fresh as a bugl,
and the cups cost only $4.5(
per dozen.
Another thing, useful t.
some people and costing almos
nothing is a corn cutter. No
a chiropodist's knife, but a it'll
tin affair for removing the corr
from the cob. 1t cleans it OF
with wonderful quickness ant
takes everything. This i
! useful in the kitchen and if i
3 was of finer finish could b.
used on the table.
