An Old FavOrite Here Prominent
In the u. s. Service.
(Newport News, March 12).

(NewpOrt News, March 12).
The Marine Guard at the Training
Station, which numbers Sc men, under
the command of Major Cochrane, is one
of the best drilled marine guards now
in the service as one can readily as
certain by seeing the guard at drill.
Their equipments and uniforms are in
splendid condition and the entire
makeup of the guard is a credit to the
service they represent as well as to
their talented commander.
The guard is being drilled frequently
daily and these drills are being in
creased. Probably today the guard will
begin practice marches.
1t would not be surprising to learn
at any moment that a large number of
these men were transferred to vessels
of war. They are ready, able, willing
and are a fine body Of men.

that he voted for the sake bill at the
last session OF the Legislature with
the idea that there was something in
furious. something poisonous, in ulis
liquor brought in in such large quaint
ties from Japan. He had since that
time ascertained that the sake brought
here contained nothing deleteriOus and
was Of less alcoholic strength than
a great many of the alcoholic drinks
brought into the country at a much
smaller percentage. The sake brought
here varies in alcoholic strength from
10 TO Is per cent. Sometimes it does
not go above II per cent.
Minister Damon was not in favor Of
reducing the duty Of fifty cents with
one fell swoop. He believed il should
be placed at sixty cents. The revenue
of the Government should be decreased
very perceptibly with the great reduc-
ton of duty.
Other members of the House spoke
for and against the amendment pre-
sented by Rep. Robertson and the
House took a recess until 1870 p. m.

AFTERNOON SESSION.


The Minister of Foreign Affairs pre-
sented the following answer to a ques-
ton propounded by Rep. Atkinson:
Il know of no school or educational
establishment of a sectarian character
that is being supported by the Govern
ment."
Rep. Atkinson moved the answer be
laid on the table However, he would
like to state that he had in hand a
document bearing on the transfer OF
LahainaIuna school With this trans
fer was a profession of faith TO be
taught at Lahainaluna. Rep. Atkinson
read a part of it to show that, by the
transfer of the school to the Govern
ment, the school continued as secta-
rian, as one of the conditions was that
the transfer could not be made with
out the acceptance of the profession OF
faith. Referred to the Committee on
Education.
Rep. Robertson presented the follow
ing petition from over 500 tax payers
of Honolulu: "The undersigned resi-
dents, property holders and tax pay
ers of Honolulu, Island of Oahu, res
pectfully represent that, in their opin-
ion the time has arrived when the ques-
ton of rapid transit for Honolulu,
demands attention and intelligent ac-
ton; that there is not much hope OF
relief from the foreign corporation
controlling the present tramway sys-
tenn, and your petitioners therefore
respectfully pray favorable considera-
ton Of the bill granting a franchise tt

Petition referred to the special COM
mittee having such matters in hand.

And the bullies in the school. Iguess
there will always be DULLES In all

the kindergarten. The hoy bully was
always a coward, of course; a bit of
snef'- as well, cringing to the big boys
and brutal 10 the little ones. In the
presence CT the teacher he was half
craZed with terror, crying cut; "What
have 10 Go with thee?' But the weak
pupil, whom he could handle, he mauled
without mercy. Ii wae his nature to be
brutal. Rather than not have anything
to worry be would torture q hes, even

BARGAINS IN CLOTHING.
Some Good Suggestions as to What
to Buy and Wear at Mini
mum Expense.

For some reason which we cannot un-
derstand there is, perhaps, as much ig-
norance as 10 what constitutes a vaiu-
able bargain in clothing as in any other
line that could be mentioned. There is
no one item, except food, on which men
have TO spend as much as on their
c.ot hes. While this is true, most men
exercise so little caution or judgment
in purchasing clothing hat large ratio
of loss 10 the consumer is the result. 1t
is a standard of civilization, when we
find men anxious 10 dress well. To do
so al a minimum expense is the highest
art, says the Textile Manufacturers
journal.
The first qualification that the buyer
must insist on is fast color. In pur-
chasing foreign-made article he must
bear in mind that the color particularly
is liable to give him trouble. A color
that stands very we'll in Europe or Eng
land, that does rot give way under
leaden skies or foggy atmosphere, wild
soon succumb and look cheap and mean
in the warm, clear atmosphere and pure
sunlight of our latitudes.
A maker or seller cannot deceive q
buyer as to cut and fit if he has his eyes
open. If man has ordinary taste and
uses the faculties Of observation to no
tice the cut that looks neat and natty,
and yet not loud or extreme, he will be
able, when he buys suit for himself, to
hit pretty near the mark.

RAT WITH A WOODEN LEG.

A rat with wooden leg is curl.

-ueb an anima! can be seen any day a
ne residence of man named Dugmore,
n The southwestern section of the

about a month ago Willie Dugmore,
ad OF 12 years, found the little rodent
IN trap in the cellar. His first i'm
pulse was to brain the pest with a
baseball bat, but the rat looked at him
so p!eadingly that Willie's heart was
touched, and he decided to Ia ke the trap
TO a n adjoining vacant lot and liberate
the animal. This he did. but instead of
seamPerlng off. as he expected, the rat
iimped painfully up to him and began
TO lick his hand. Willie then discovered
hat one of the animals legs had been
almost severed by the trap.
Taking the raj home, he cut the leg
off and then bandaged he wound. using
dis a iiniment a little gaselne. He then
put the rat into a cage and nursed ii
for week. He then removed the bal
age and found that the wound had
completely healed. The rat was, how
ever. unable to walk, and Willie de-
rded that he would make for it an ar
iificial leg. Going down to the cellar,
be obtained piece of pine, and after
some whiting succeeded in making
leg. This he fastened on with a string.
and was delighted to see that his plan
was entirely successful. The raj is now

a wheelman of Corunna, Mich, has to
thank mouse for the addition Of 50
miles to his cyclometer record, says the
New York World. He hung his bicycle
from his cellar ceiling, the other even
ing, not far from a swinging shelf,
where food was kept. A mouse bent on
supper reached the shelf, and when he
had sampled the viands leaped to the
tire of the front wheel. That in1medi-
ately began TO revolve. and the mouse
naturally ran to the highest part OF it,
1t could stay on the top Of the tire and
it couldn't get enough foothold to jump
to the wall. So it ran round and round
the revolving wheel, and the next morn
ing was found, almost exhausted, but
still running, with 9S miles to its

WHY THEY BLUNDERED.
How II Was That LongfclIow's Poem
Was Responsible for the School
ChiIdren's Mistake.

This is the season when the boys and
girls are in fret and worry over school
examinations. The dreaded examina-
tions are On, and whether they Will get
up or be left down is burning ques-
tion in hundreds of little heads. There
IS considerable doubt whether these ex-
aminations are fair tests of ability, but
pedagogues have not yet succeeded in
Gevising substitute. Last year in a
certain grammar school there came
pretty near being a row on this point.
In the language lesson there was
given a quotation from .Enoch Arden"
in which the phrase 'swarthy fishing
nets" was used. The pupils were
asked to define 'sswarthy." They all
thought they knew, but as it turned
out, not one of them did. They defined
the word as meaning strong"
When the papers were looked over to
mark the averages the principal was
astounded at the universal error, and
called On one of the brightest girls for
an explanation.
Il thought it meant Strong replied
the girl, confidently, because it is used
In that sense in other cases."
ut never isl returned the principal,
in surprise. please give me an in
stance
"Wel1, doesn't it say: Beside the
forge the swarthy blacksmith stands
And all blacksmiths are strong, aren't
they?"
The teacher was astounded again,
and yet she had to admit that the mis-
take was a natural one for children to
make.-Chicago limes-Herald.

Formation of Gold HuEGcts,

Concerning the theory that gold mug
gets are formed by the depositing of
the gold around a nucleus from sclu-
ton, Prof. A. Liversidge, the gold ex-
pert of New South Wales, Australia,
has made Investigations which he
thinks disprove it. BY slicing the mug
get and examining the cross sections
obtained he found no traces of con-
centric coatings, but that the gold was
always more or less crystallized. the
crystals being in some cases very large
and with well-defned boundaries.
Some of the nuggets also showed cavi-
ties and Enclosures of quartz, although
in many cases none were visible on the
rolled surface of the nugget.

Artificial Marble

Mr.. Bruhl, the United States consul
at Catania, Sicily, describes the manu-
facture of artificial black marble, as it
is now carried on in that city. Catania
is overlooked by the great volcano,
Etna, and this mountain has furnished
part of the material employed. Com
mon white sandstone IS cut into the
desired shapes, and these are placed in
an iron tank upon a heavy wire graf
ing, Then the tank is filed with a
molten mixture cf volcanic asphalt and
coal tar. This is kept boiling for 36
hours, when the stones are taken out,
cooled, dried and polished. 1t is diff
cult, Mr.. Bruhl says, to distinguish
stones thus treated from genuine black
marble, but the cost is much less

HOT WATER WELLS.
Tn Some Gases Temperature Rises
Twenty Degrees in a Single Night
~CaEse cs the Phenomenon.

The wells in parts Of Arizona have re-
Gently become producers of hot water,
and apprehension is felt by many of the
residents of the region affected that
they are about to become partici pants
in grand volcanic drama. In some Of
the wells the temperature of the well
water rose 20 degrees in a single night.
In a few the phenomenon disappeared
soon after its appearance. In a major
ity of the cases, however, the wells fair
~ steam from their newly-acquired
heat. The first known of this curious
state of affairs was a report that the
wells at Marioopa, on the Southern Pa
cific railroad. 80 miles south of Phoenix,
had suddenly become hot, says the
Omaha Bee.
1t was four days thereafter that the
phenomenon first was noticed a dozen
miles west of that city. A test at one
we'll showed temperature of nearly
100 degrees. No difference is noted in
wells in the immediate vicinity of
Phoenix.
The line of subterranean heat wave
follows the general direction of the ST.
ezra Estrella mountains. a volcanic
chain lying Immediately south of the
Gila river. Thence itappears to continue
on in the direction of the Harqua Hala
mountains, near which are number of
large and modern volcanic cones and
hills of drifted volcanic ash. Further
to the east the lava flows are so geolog-
really modern as to have overwhelmed
in number of places the cliff dwellings

Worth knowing About Fruits.

II man persists In using or trying to
use that for which he has neither power
for digestion nor assimilation, he must,
without doubt, pay the penalty. To
many persons strawberries are such
violent poison that 4 single dish will
produce rash in less than two hours.
The cooking of the fruit seems to de
stroy this active, irritating principle.
but again, here comes our fashion of
adding sugar, Canned or preserved
fruits, as well as jams and kindred ar
ticles, are to be condemned on account
of the mass of sugar used. With the
fruits 1t Is more prone to fermentation,
and even if The sugar is inverted we
have far greater amount than can be
cared for by the liver, and here is the
origin of the ''torpid liver" we hear so
much about. Tie liver is not torpid at
oil, it is simply overworked. The given

in less than 80 feet, fired two shots
