with malice aforethought the char

lican domination. In Greenville the
white wards were given one alder
man each and the negro wards two
aldermen each. Result, negro city
officers. In Wilmington and New
bern the Governor appointed half of
the board of aldermen Republicans.

A NEW HOSPITAL
American Place Soon tc
Be Ready for Use.
The Transformation of Independ.
To Extend From Honolulu.

In view Of the early arrival of the
garrison for Honolulu work on the
American Hospital is being pushed by
Lucas Bros, the contractors, and the
Red Cross Society is planning for its
furnishing. Partitions in the main
building have been taken down and the
great space is being divided into cor
ridOrs and rooms. The front entrance,
on King street, is enlarged and opens
into an office and reception room and
that again into a lengthwise corridor
that connects the general ward, occupy
ing the whole of the Eva end OF the
building, with the dining room and
kitchen at the other extremity of the
old addition. Between the reception
room and the dining room on the
mauka side are a nurses room, an Op-
Grating room and a dispensary Makai
of the corridor are a ward for special
cases, a broad hall that the patients
private entrance opens into, bath
rooms, linen room and store room. Ex-
ira windows have been cut to give an
abundance of light and air and a
broad verandah along the back of the
main building away from the dust and
noise of the street will afford de-
lightful Longing place for GONZALES
cents.
Back Of the hospital proper and re
moved from it by an open space Will be
a building comprising the necessary
ward, bathing and nurses rooms to in
sure complete isolation for measles or
other light contagious diseases.
As soon as the buildings are finished
the beds and furnishings at the Child
Garden will be moved into them and
additional necessities will be provided
out of the American hospital fund left
by General Merritt, and the Red Gross.
work will continue until the Regular
Army Corps arrives.
The treasurer's account is a tribute
to the generosity of the Honolulu peO-
pie. The Society is an organization of

The Use Of Chicorx.

Few people are aware of the extent,
to which chicory Is used Us an addition
to coffee. This vegetable is usually
spoken of as an adultcrant, and many
look upon 1t as such. 1t has, however
gained such a foothold in public esteem
that housekcepers are buying it and
mixing 1t with their coffee by choice.
1t is thought to make the coffee richer,
and is employed for the purpose and
without any consideration for economy.
An immense amount of chicory is
grown in Nebraska, and the last years
yield is said to be Of excellent quality.
AT one factory $4,000 pounds Of finished
chicory r turned out every twenty.
four hours. This is but one Of the
large plants in the State. There are
contracts with Nebraska farmers 70.

Of eighty tons a day.-New Yor!;

Eystematic Homework.
No one can accomplish much unless
there IL real system about their work.
Not only will this give more time to ac-
complish each task, but having less to
do each day the work will be done in
a better manner. Always have certain
days for laundry work; hang all the
ironed clothes around the fire till per-
fectly dry; when folded, always put
those that need repairing in one place,
and mend them before they IRE put
away for good. Always have certain
places on closet shelves, or in draw
ers, for all clothes, and keep them in
good order. Have one day in the week
set apart for a good cleaning of the
house. sweep and dust well, and With
a little care the home may be kept in
order all the time. II the sewing is all
done ut home, as 1t is in our case, dc
not make the mistake Of sewing some
nearly every day. but try to do you,
summer sewing in the winter or early
spring. and winter sewing in the fall
BY following this plan you will not al.
ways he rushed with your sewing. Al.
ways plan the work ahead and you will

will find more real pleasure in the

To MINK a Kicking Cow.

By adopting my plan you can cure a
COW or heifer of the habit of kicking
without touching her. Make a light
pair of bars of 3x1h inch stuff, then
frame 5 or 9 of the same pieces to-
gether to form a gate Of any desired
length, place 1t between yourself and
the COW, having the uprights hinged to
joists above or working in a slide so 1t
can be pushed forward or drawn back
as needed. Uprights should be about
eight inches apart. In a short time the
COW will become very gertle.-Albert

troductio

Do not presume that promiscuous IN.
Productions ore agreeable. You should
be sur that the parties to be introduce
ed are ut least willing to be made nc.
quainted. The person of inferior rank
should be presented to those of higher
rank; the younger to those of superior
age; and gentlemen to the ladies' in ev-
cry case. No extended formula is nee
essary in introductions. A short, court
eous presentation Of one to the other
is all that is needed. Nor should excess
sive adulation be INDUCED, or gushing
expressions OF pleasure, etc. When a
famous person is introduced. a refer.
ence to his fame Is not out of place.
Because OF an Introduction, neither
party should presume that the nc-
qu%aintanccs shall be continued; that
must depend on the encouragement in
that direction. which either party may
be pleased to give. A lady to whom you
have been introduced may. at her op.
ton, omit to recognize you afterward.
This Is no discourtesy; IT. is her proper
privilege.
In introducing parties. a formula en-
tirely proper is, "Mr. Webb, permit me
to introduce to you to my friend. Mr..
Carns." Then turning to the friend pre-.
sented add, "Mr. earns. my friend, Mr..
Webb" Gentlemen bow. aud shake
hands on introduction. II introduced
to q lady. let her make the advance IL
the Handwriting: and whether she OK.
tend her hand or not, the gentleman
should bow.
Let all Handwriting be cordial, but
not excessive. A mere extension Of q
few fingers. or a listless Offering Of the
hand. is as far from the proper act as
a grasp that splits a glove, and brushes
a lady's hand.

Holea in Imbrellae.

One Of the fruitful causes OF holes in
the folds Of an umbrella is improper
care when it is wet. To roll up a wet
umbrella is to invite the dyes to rot 1t,
and one Of the banes Of the umbrella
manufacturer is loaded dye on silk.
When over-dyed silks are wet, and the
umbrellas rolled and set away, we find
the owners complaining that their um-
brellas are cracking in the folds. Fine
holes appear, and they are apt to re-
turn the umbrella to the merchant and
claim damages.
