OIVENA VERDICT.
Received a Divorce and Awarded AIimony In

from her husband, Charles f. Chapman, in

ground of extreme cruelty and non-
support.

parents at Lonsdale.

dence to show that her husband had re-
peatedly struck her and that he refused to
provide for her. No defense was made by
MIR. Chapman, so the court granted her the
divorce and allowed her $500 alimony.

Japan is somewhat left. One of the
earliest of President McKinley's Off
cial acts has, says Bradstreets', been
the issue of proclamation declaring
the new patent convention with ia
pan to be operative. This makes art
icle sixteen of the treaty of 1894 come
into full force. Through it the cit
liens or subjects of either of the two
countries shall enjoy in the territories
of the other the same protection as
native citizens with regard to trade
marks and designs. This will put "A
stop to the pirating of trade marks by
the japanese. There, has been a flood
of goods poured forth from Japan
with false trade marks and scattered
broadcast along the coasts of the Pa
cific. In another direction, however,
Japan scores point, Japan scores a
point, for the Navigation Bureau ac-
cepts the certificates of registry of the

longer be necessary for Japanese YES

The scheme for homing pigeons does
not seem very satisfactory one. A
gentleman here devoted. a considerable
amount of time and money to the pro-
ject and found that it was impossible
to get satisfactory results across our
channels. 1t must be remembered that
it is not only the distance from island
to island that the birds have to con-
tend against, but that the strong winds
which sweep through the channels are
more than the birds like to face. Up
on an island perfectly satisfactory re-
suits can be obtained. That is, from
Waialua to Honolulu, from Lahaina to
Waikiki, or from KohaIa to Kau,
there would be no difficulty with hon.
ing pigeons, but when the question
comes of flying from Kohala to Homo
lulu, or even from Kohala to Hama, it
is totally different affair. On con-
tinent and within certain limited cir
cumstances the homing pigeon is a
fairly satisfactory method of inter-
communication. Between these islands
the homing pigeon has been tried and
has lailed egregiously. People ought
to consult those who know.

A TALK ON CLEANLINESS

1t is not often that people
in our line of business speak
about toilet 6 apps, but as the
handling of hardware, plows
and other implements soil the
hands and face, it is natural
that we, as well as others, use
soap.
We have a large stock of
soaps of various kinds-too
large for our own consumption
for some time to coAe-and
will allow our patrons to take
advantage of our stock to sup
ply themselves.
The name of Colgate & Co.
is known the world over as
the makers of fine toilet soaps,
and when we offer Cashmere
Boquet and Jockey Club at
35c per cake, Glycerine, Rosa
dore and Honey for zoe per
cake, Rico and CASTLE at 1Oc
per cake, there should be no
hesitancy about buying them.
The same make of Demul-
cent shaving Soap is an assur-
ance of superior quality, even
when we sell it at 1Oc per
cake.
Everyone is familiar with
the healing properties Of Cuti-
cura soap. 1t confers on con-
sumers the greatest of human
blessings-a skin without a
blemish. Twenty cents per
cake is too cheap.
Medicated tar soap makes
an excellent shampoo as well
as a bath soap. Many use it
exclusively. You will find it
impossible to buy this soap
anywhere for less than 25c
per cake, except Of us, where it
goes for l5c per cake.

THE MUSEUM.

There is always a going too and fro
of steamers here, and they drop peo-
pie who want to be interested. One of
the most interesting places is the Ka-
mehameha Museum. But if the UNI
fortunate passer through happens to
be here anywhere from Sunday to
Thursday he or she has no chance of
getting a glimpse of the Museum, ex-
cept from the outside. Thus much
that is interesting is lost.
The Karehameha Museum is not
public property, but the object of the
founder was public advantage. 1t
should therefore be carried on for the
very best advantage of those who can
avail themselves of the benefits of the
institution. To keep it shut up from
the public five days out of seven does
not seem carrying out the intentions
of the founder. There was a reason
able excuse when the museum was
first started to close during certain
days, for the purpose of setting up
new specimens and general attendance
to details of Inauguration, but that
time has long since passed. and what
should be inaugurated now is the
opening of the museum to suit the
convenience of the public, both morn
ing and afternoon.
The officers of the institution may
try to protect themselves from the
charge of discourtesy to the conven-
fence of the public, by considering
themselves as private institution,
but if so, they had better advertise the
fact, and say the Kamehameha Mus
cum is a close corporation and you
can only get glimpse at its treasures
on suffrance. Take off your hat to the
Curator.

However much The Star may dis
agree from the main argument in Mr..
Davies lecture, it is distinct salts
faction to meet with a gentleman who
can put his case, or rather the case
of his client in so temperate and care
full a way as he has done. He had a
distinct purpose to fulfill, he wanted
to sway opinion if possible, but he has
done it in a manner which must call
forth the admiration of those who are
opposed to him.

RACING IN MOSCOW.

The Horses Run Not Side by Side, but In
Opposite Directions.
1t is a racing day in Moscow. The
s,urse is swept free from snow and fol-
lows the wooded shores with red paint
ed ratings on each side On one side
is stand, with seating room for sew
eral thousand people, and special box,
with tent hangings, for the governor
general, surmounted by the imperial
eagle in gold. In front of this box, low
er down, you see the prizes, consisting
of gold and silver cups, vases and orna-
mental pieces, all in Russian style and
taste.
A bell rings, the course is cleared by
mounted gendarmes and the competitors
in due order take their places in front
Of the stand, bnt not side by side, as
they always start from opposite sides of
the course, with heads also turned in
opposite directions The usual race
course hum and noise of the betting
men are heard and increase in volume
as the bell rings the second time. They
are off! And the fascination of rapid
motion, open air and strenuous exertion
throws its spell over the assembly, high
and low, for trotting is certainly the
most fashionable and beloved sport in
Russia. You cannot recognize people
just yet-the great fur collars are raised
and reach over the fur caps, leaving
only red tipped noses, beneath which
appear nevsr missing cigarettes. The
ladies' heads are almost entirely coy,
cred by woolen wraps, so Eere again
you can only guess who is who. To
stranger not investing his money in
backing his opinion as to winners, the
game might seem monotorous enough,
as the horses do not finish side by side,
but in the way they started. Yet the
Russians think differently, and. besides,
arethere not plenty of vodka and caviare
to be had between the races?
Single horses are pitted against each
other, drawing light little sleighs, in
which the driver is seated very low
down and far away from the horse, ow-
ing to the long shafts intended to give
the horse perfect freedom of action. A
whip is not used, but OH the reins are
metal buckles over the quarters, which
are employed instea9, and almost all
horses run without bhnkers
Sometimes horse is attached to the
sleigh ON one side of the trotter, who is
between the shafts. He is the pacemak-
Ell and gallops the whole course,
whereas, it need not be said, the trotter
must not break Then follow pair
horses, harnessed, and lastly troikas
with three horses, sometimes four
abreast Troikas are very barbarously
-gaudy and clumsy things to look at, but
exceedingly comfortable all the same

A WONDERFUL POND.
Human Eyes Are Often Inhabited b.
Large Numbers Of Living Creatures.

Human Eyes Are Often Inhabited by
Large Numbers of Living Creatures.
The water contained in well de-
veloped, well formed eye in which the
sight is not impaired, more especially
where a person is farsighted, presents
many curious phenomena. Looking
through an open window in daylight
upon hazy atmosphere or upon fog
such as is seen in any city, or looking
to the north upon gray atmosphere,
one will see, if conditions are as above,
strange disks fitting and jumping about
in the eye water. It has been my privi-
lege to watch these organisms for sew
eral years, fitting about in the eye
water, jumping toward each other again
in strife and combat, in the which the
water would become comparatively
clear of amebiform organisms, only to
be again full of micrococsi and the COM
bats as above.
The various shapes of these animal
cule are surprising. Some are attenu-
ated, with fine filaments. Again, others
are like wee bits Of fine porcelain, with
little projections, reminding one of
turtles hopping about. Again, others
present the appearance Of cyclops and
daphne.
How these organisms get into the eye
water is a mystery-perhaps in the
water we drink or foods we eat, either
or both. The fact that the eye water is
inhabited, like all other bodies Of water,
is truth that can be proved positively,
beyond peradventure, by any oculist
when he may extract diseased eye
and place the fluid under the glass.
May not the accumulation of these
organisms in the eye water, their rapid
growth and the survival of the fittest
or strongest be the cause Of much blind
ness, wherein may be casts, coagulation
Of the eye water, so called paralysis Of
the optic nerve, cataracts and other
forms of disease?
May not numerous headaches and
other pains be caused by the overac-
cumulation or growth Of these minute
organisms, in which they stop the cir
culation Of the active principle Of life
in the arterial circulation or the nerv-
Gus forces? The same organisms are seen
when looking upon drawing paper.

Our Neighbors.

Our neighbors generally are the peo-
pie who have houses near to our own,
that nearness varying according to the
size of the district and the number of
householders of the same social rank as
ourselves. In town they live in the
same street; in apartments they are on
the same corridor; in the country they
are separated by field only OF garden
wall; in sparsely tenanted places they
are at distance of mile or two miles,
OF it may be six. And the neighbor par
excellence is the one who lives close
alongside of neutrality-suspicious. in the
other half of the semidetached house
where we have our home or just across
the road and opposite, not to the side. |
This is the general idea of neighbor,
and when we use the term we rarely |
mean aught else.
But in point of fact we have neigh |
bors wherever we turn-men and wom-
en- to whom we are bound to render
such service of kindness as comes into
the possibilities of the time and place. |,
It is not only domicile and the rates
and taxes which make us neighbors It
is not only when we live divided by a !
party wall enc from the other at the
foot of the hill, or standing face to face
across the road, when we can signal our !
goings out and our comings in and be
helpful and neighborly in the matter of |
the garden roller and the preserving |.
pan. 1t is not only when we know all |
the family history, and how our friends |
and neighbors are impeccable as to their !
grandfather and without the crooked |
lines of scandal across their family
escutcheon. It is not necessary to be /
intimate, nor even to have been intro !
duced, for the obligations of neighbor- !
illness to be strict and strong. For
wherever we can render service, show /
q courtesy or do a kindness we have our
work cut out for us in the way of duty !
to our neighbor, and he is our neighborl
who stands in need, great or small, Of
such help as we can offer.-Philadel-l
