About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an at
tack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. gave 1t such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but
as nothing gave relief. We sent for a
physician and 1t was under his care for
week. At this time the child had
been sick for about ten days and was
having about twenty-five operations of
the bowels every twelve hours, and
we were convinced mat unless It soon
obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy was recommended, and
decided to try 1t. ! soon noticed a
change for the better; by its continued
use complete cure was brought about
and II is now perfectly healthy.-C. l..

COLORS ON SHIPPING.

Along the waterfront there were dec
orations on the craft in the harbor, the
wharves, dredger, marine railway and
the Myrtle and Healani boat houses.
The big flag waved from the pole on
the coal bunkers at the railway dock.
Further off a bran new Stars and
Stripes spread out to the breeze from
Oahu prison. Only the two colliers
Kate Davenport and Sea King worked
during the day. They were both dis
charging at the Mail wharf. The Rob-
ert Levers, Irmgard and Andrew
Welch had bunting from stem to stern
and the steamer Kauai was audacious
enough to fly "Old Glory" at the main
during the day. The Inter Island Of
fees were covered with flags and lines
to which were attached small flags
stretched up to the high pole over the
building. This had been done under
the eye Of that ardent annexationist
James l.. Mclean, the secretary Of the
company.
No decorations were on the Philadel.
phia or Mohican. At the appointed
hour the Hawaiian flag was hoisted, a
salute given and then 1t was hauled
down again-then Old Glory went ur
again and another salute.

COLORS PRESENTED.

After the Flag Raising the First
Regiment passed around through King
and Likelike streets and formed in
three sides OF square at the Waikiki
end OF the parade grounds. The bat
talon OF American troops marched
through King and Richards streets and
formed on the parade grounds in slich
a way as to complete the immense
square. In this position the troops
presented quite an imposing sight In
the center OF the square Colonel Fisher
took the oath and then administered
1t to staff, field and line officers, drawn
up together.
Just prior to this time President
Dole and staff. Minister Cooper, Chief
Justice Judd, Mrs. Dole and others APP
peared in a party in the square. Staff
Captain Pratt carried beautiful silk
American flag. Addressing Col. Fisher,
President Dole formally presented the
flag to the Regiment, being the Camp
Boston silk flag of 1893. Col. Fisher
rendered the thanks of the Regiment
for the handsome token. The flag was
received by Color Sergt. ID. l.. Naone
and was Immediately unfurled in line.
The Hawaiian flag had been folded
and wrapped around its staff when the
colors were lowered from the Execu-
tive building
During the flag presentation Chief
Justice Judd swore in the stan officers
Of President Dole, beginning with Mai.
George c. Potter. Following this the
members of all the companies were
sworn in. They were drawn up in line
and those wishing to take the oath
were requested to uncover and raise
the right hand. Nearly all the hands
went up. The Hawaiian Regiment
then escorted the American troops
back to the boat landing.
After the ceremonies Friday. Com

on two tables down the center OF the
room. Capt. Camara was toastmaster
and conducted the affair in an orderly
and agreeable manner.

RECEPTION AND BALL

There was a little delay with the
lights for the ball and reception In the
evening, but before 1t was too late the
repairs had been made and the illum-
ination was grand success. There
were hundreds upon hundreds OF in
candescent lights on the outside and
several designs, including an Ameri-
can shield in correct colors. The in
terror, everywhere, was a food Of light.
The decorations in the main hallway,
in the old throne room and on the
stairway were placed by the Misses
Along, Mrs. Hutchinson and Miss
Emma Davidson, and were very taste
ful. Strangely enough two Of the
floral banks in front OF mirrors made
the Spanish colors, but this was not
noticed by many people.
The reception began promptly at 8
o'clock and continued for more than
an hour, during which time there was
a regular crush. A number OF soaIety
men were drafted into service as ush-
ers. The receiving party included
President Dole. Mrs. Dole, American
Minister Sewall. Mrs. Sewall, Admiral
Miller, Col. Barber. The President was
attended by his chief Of stan, Col.
Soper.
1t was democratic enough for any
one, this evening function. A couple
of thousand people attended Every
one was welcome everywhere. The
grounds were thronged till past mid
night. The dancing, for the first hour,
was confined to small space on ac-
count OF the great number OF people in
the hall. Music was by the Govern
ment band. Refreshments were served
on the mauka balcony.
The ball was made notable by the
great number of stunning party gowns
In evidence.
The dancing was entered into with
zest and was especially pleasant dur
ing the latter portion OF the party, as
the crowd had then thinned out enough
to allow floor space for the ones car
ing most for the pastime. The floor
had been carefully prepared.

Executive building grounds just before
noon. Those in the ranks were:

American flag hauled down from the Gov
ernment Building In Honolulu. on the
LIST of April. 1898, It was taken on boara

sion OF Lieutenant Lucien Young. he re-
placing II with another Lieutenant
Young was possessed of an abiding con-
viction that sooner or later there would
be n call for that flag TO go up again,
and he has carefully guarded II ever
since. against the time when Il would he
nccdcd. In May last he was given com
mand of the converted Yacht Hist and
ordered to Cuban waters. Just before
leaving he delivered the precious flag to
Lorrin 4. Thurston with the request that
MIR. ThurStOn use his best ondcayors to
have IL rchostcd on the same fagstaff
from which 1t had been hauled down.
Before leaving Washington Mr.. ThurstOn
saw President Mckinley and told him
OF the circumstances concerning the flag
and received the Presidents approval of
the proposition. The Hawaiian EXeCu-
tive also took the same view Of the mat
ter. and consented to use this flag for the
purpose indicated.
In April, 1898. the present Court House
was used as the executive building. and
II was from It's stan that the flag was
lowered at that time.
At the same time that tho Hawaiian
flag was yesterday lowered from the Exc
cutive building, its companion on the
Court House kept II company. and stimuli
taneously with the rising OF the stars and
stripes over the former building. "the flag
that Blount hauled down" rose proudly
to its old position. and hoated once more
In the breeze from which II had been torn,
over five years ago.
The historic flag will be preserved as
one of the most interesting mcmcntos OF
the occasion.
Lieutenant Young has been making q
magnificent record for himself in Cuba,
but the knowledge that this flag has been
used for the purpose for which he so
long preserved 1t. will give him as much
satisfaction as TO have a successful scrap
with IA lot of Spanish gunboats.

the work Of re-enrolling the companies
began. All not caring to serve further
were at liberty to drop out. The re-
suit was most satisfactory. Companies
A, c, + and G enlisted almost solid
over again, every member of each pres
snt signing over. Forty-nine members
Of Company b signed over, this being
about all present. Fifty-one members
of Company ID took the new oath and
enrolled. Five Portuguese in one Of
the regular companies, f. refused to
go on. not caring to take the oath Of
allegiance to the United States. Seven
members Of H, four Of whom were na-

FIREWORKS DISPLAY.

The fire works display Friday night
was quite the most elaborate ever wit
messed in Honolulu. Bombs and rock
cts were set Off constantly between
the hours Of 1880 and 9. To add to
the effect the exterior lights OF the Ex-
ecutive building were turned of dur
ing the display. James A. Kennedy
was in charge. 1t is estimated that
5000 people were in the grounds and
1000 more in neighboring streets
Grounds and Executive building were
thrown open to the public and great
throngs availed themselves OF the OPP
portunity to see the latter in its ball

DO NOT FEAR DEATH.
Peculinrities of the OF
American Soldiers When
in Action.

OF course there are Americans and
Americans, and some of the latter are
not heroes in any sense, but the Amer
lean American is u distinctly cour-
ageous individual. He does not face
death with the resigned fatalism of
the Hindoo, or the fanatic frenzy of
the MChammedan. He does not go
into action on stills of rhetoric and
melOdrama that mark the romance
races. He does not die with the hooroo
of the wild Irishman or with the stoI-
idity of the Anglo-SaXon. He has per-
haps merged with the stoiciSm of the
Indian, the stubbornness of the Saxon
and the rejoicing of the Celt, an amaz-
ing GOODNESS and an irrepressible
humor.
The curious thing is hat the typical
American hero is able to see the funny
side of his own death, the flaws in
his nonidolized leaders. He can grasp
the whole situation with shrewdness
and not remain so far from being
Overcautious or shrinking that he does
not count his penn'orth when anything
Is to be gained. When the call came
for Lieut.. Hobson's crew of six to
man and sink the Merrimac, a feat
whose picturesqueness equaled its ap-
parently inevitable fatality, there
were hundreds, if not thousands, ready
and eager to answer that call. Under
the torn of shot and shell, and with
the imminent danger of being hoist

ship and sunk her with the precision
and aplOmb of a naval review. When
the Spanish projectiles ~thronged the
air of Manila bay the commander of
the Boston stood on his bridge. with
his coat off, tanning himself and OBJ
serving that the cup of coffee he was
taking was not properly sugared.
Such of our seamen as have been
forced to be idle during the fleets ac-
ton have frequently danced and sung,
and even played the harmonica to the
Giapason of bombardment. When. in
the civil war. Cushing's little launch
was hailed by the Albemarle it had
come to sink, every man aboard OF
her sung out Il humorous reply to the
sentinel's who goes there?" the
deadly sharpshooters of the north and
south cracked jokes at each other
while their guns exchanged repartee.
Instances of the absolutely fearless,
hOmely, unrhetorical, witty behavior
of the Yankee in crises of danger fair
~ bristle history. The robust traits
that have made Yankee heroism and
GOODNESS a marvel and a warning to the
rest of the world reappears now in full
force. They should convince the mono
maniacs who have thought they saw
decadence and end-of-the-centuryism
sapping the race, that the salt ofAmer-
icanism has not yet lost its savor.-

however. it is imperative that the barn

that part facing TO the south, with feed
racks for the animals arranged at the
sides. Sheep can be wintered in this
manner with but very little trouble.
Have you a barn something like the

The wings may be best utilized for the
housing of any kind of stock, pigs, poul-
try. calves. colts or sheep. This simpli-
fies the work, other conditions being
equal. Since all the farm stock is gath
cred into one place. and practically I'M
der one roof, the whole arrangement be-
a l~abor-saving machine, so to
speak, of the highest order, the COW

At the front a board fence should be
erected-if a tight one it will further

ing at either extremity a gate, so that
a farm team may be driven in on one

then driven out on the other side, thus

required, the covered space interven-

as more light in case the wings are
quite long. This arrangement, fur
thermore. secures constant circulation
of air through the yard, removing all
undesirable fumes arising, and keeping
the whole pure and sweet, and this, in
my Judgment, is the proper cOnstruc-
ton, for while il makes the yard cold
er. it will be rendered unfit for use
only during a few days of the winter,
and then a temporary obstruction to
the cold may be put up at the open
space between wing and barn. If it

Green Food for Winter.

The value of green food for poultry
during the winter months is recog-
nized by all well-informed poultry
keepers. How best to supply this is
more of a question, particularly in the
northern states. In Missouri and
states south an almost or quite con-
tiEuous source of green food for the
chickens can be provided by sowing a
small patch of wheat or rye near the
poultry house. This should be sown
early, and on rich, well-prepared soil
so as to secure a good growth before
freezing weather sets in and the fowls
should be kept from it until other
sources of supply are cut off by frost.
Even in sections of severe winters a
wheat patch for the chickens 10 work
on in late fall and early spring will be

fowls. and profit to their owners
