WAIKIKI ROBBERY
Valuab1es Taken from the
Hebron Cottage.
Srseak Thief Entered Sleeping
Apartm ments-ArtiCleS MyS-
teriouSIy ! Returned.

On Friday last a party OF young
ladies', of whom Miss Carrie Gilman
was one, took possession of the Hebron
cottage on the lower Waikiki road in
tending to spend a short vacation.
Matters progressed we'll and the ladies
settled down to the quiet enjoyment
of bathing and resting on the lawn.
Saturday evening the ladies enter
tanned some relatives and the time was
spent on the lanai about 100 feet from
the house. Before going out Miss Gill
man removed her watch and placed it
on pin cushion. On table near by
was some fancy work and two kodaks.
On the return of the ladies to the
house none of them noticed whether
or not the articles were there but
when Miss Gilman arose yesterday
morning they were missing; nothing
else was disturbed. Inquiry was made
of the Chinese servant but he denied
that he had spent the evening in his
cottage on the place. Friends were
notified of the loss and detectives put
on the track As there was no clew to
the chief, Miss Gilman gave up all
hopes of finding them. Last night
while the ladies were sitting on the
veTanda d hackman drove up and
handed one of the party a large pack
age and quickly drove off without
leaving any message. On opening the
package it was found to contain the
missing articles. The police will try
and find the hackman today.

Eating CLAY.

That a large number of people live
and thrive on a diet of earth may sound
incredible to those who have never
heard of the clay-eaters of the South,
but in Alabama there are many per-
sons whose daily food is clay dug from
the banks of the small mountain
streams. 1t is oily and almost with
out taste, and certainly contains nour-
ishment of some sort, az 1t Is almost
the entire diet of the inhabitants of
these localities. When the clay-eatgr

Hard times may have affected the

vices she chooses to trim her gown as
inexpensively as possible. The newest
thing used to embroider a dress is

then taken to a shop TO be stamped

your gown entirely finished when this
is done; 1t should be merely basted and
fitted. Having had the gown stamped

A True

There are not many true parasites

uses OF Fuller,s Earth.

Fuller's earth was originally used for
cleansing cloth of grease, and also by
furriers for cleansing furs. In the lat
ter case the fur was covered with a
considerable quantity of the earth and
rubbed or trodden. 1t has also been
used as an absorbent by druggists. At
the present its chief use is for clarity
ing oils. In clarifying lard oil the
fuller's earth, ground to 100 mesh, is
added to the hot oil and stirred for a
short period; the oil is then passed
through a filter press, the earth and col
oring impurities being left behind it..
The degree of fineness of the fuller's
earth is of great Importance, and it is
necessary to heat it well before use.
In clarifying lubricating and similar
oils the fuller's earth is now being used
as a substitute for bone black. In this
case 1t Is not necessary to grind the ma
terial so fine, and the size to which it is
ground varies with the grade of the oil
to be treated.

A MotherIy Queen.

The queen of Greece is looked upon
as a mother. Her tastes are simple,
and her disposition most kindly. She
has never got over her own great sor-
row-the death of her eldest daughter,
the Grand Duchess Paul, whose depart
ure from Athens to be married was
more like a funeral than the preface
to a bridal. All Athens turned out to
wish her joy. But the faces of the
bride and her mother were blistered
with tears. This being thought a bad
omen, the air was filed with lamenta-
ton. The princess was entreated by
the women to turn back, and wait for
some more propitious time to begin her
journey. But the princess was married,
and was killed in less than two years
by a fall from a carriage that was go
ing at a furious pace. A nurse OF the
princess dreamed the night before the
departure for Russia that they were
at the museum and came to q sculpture
representing a family group around a
dying girl. The dreamer thought the
personages were suddenly changed into
the king and queen. herself and the be-
trothed princess. Next morning she
told her dream to the queen, who
laughed, but believed her. as her blis-
tered face showed.
