Hawaii a Tramp Paradise.
FROM the Chicago Chronicle.

FROM tne chicago Chronicle.
Since the recent agitation of the Ha-
waiian question In this country Fred W..
Job, the Hawaiian consul In Chicago, has
had innumerable questions asked him ard
plans proposed. He was in his Office II q
other day when a man came In who looked
a little the worse for the lack of ready
money. The man piled the consul with
queries. First he wanted to know about
the bread tree
There is such thing" said Mr. Job,
"and IL IS common I'm Hawaii. The tree
bears a pithy fruit that Is pleasant 10 the
taste, and Is very nutritious. II eomewnau
resembles light bread"
The visitor then said he had heard of a
tree called the travellers tree there In the
country. To this the consul also assented.
He said the leaves on this tree grew a
great deal as on the palm, and that the
hollow beneath the leaf and the trunk Vas
filed with water, sometimes as much as
half gallon. The banana tree was the
next topic, and when the stranger learned
that they also grew on the islands, he
heaved a sigh OF relief
well" he said, II can get an army that
will beat Coxey's / am going TO get a
gang of my friends. and we are to emil
CRATE to Hawaii. Then we are to trans
plant some Of these trees till we have ore
of each near together, then we will hang
a hammock, and there we VIII stay. Ma
is such there that We will need but few
clothes, and what we take with us will
last almost indefinitely, and II we do no
moving we win not wear them out"
Mr.. Job admitted that the man had an
Inventive mind, but said that his plan was
hardly feasible, though Vt might be car
ried out TO a certain extent.

they appear on so many of the dressy
hats. Especially one notices the popular,
ity of gauze when encrusted with English
applique lace. Among a great quantity of
hats with low draped crowns noticed sew
eral smart hats with cone-shaped crowns
intended more for morning wear.
One that was especially smart was of
dark red rough straw. The tall cone-shap-
ed crown was trimmed around in narrow
bands of black velvet drawn through tiny
cut steel buckles and tied in fiat bows
up there was bunch of tall-pointed black
wings.
Among Virots display of carriage hats
l noticed one that was particularly attrac-
tive. 1t was a broad-brimmed fiat hat
made of white satin straw. The crown
was draped in quantities of white tule,
covered with English applique lace. Where
the tulle rested on the brim there were
seven punches of Parmo violets, surround
ed by their green leaves. A narrow pip
let's trimmed the edge of the brim and
rosettes of the velvet were placed so as
to rest on the hair at the back where
the brim rolled up. This hat was to be
worn quite over the face.

trimming of violets. They are more pop

Points About the Explosive Now Used

Smokeless powder has been adopted by
nearly all the leading governments for
use in small firearms. Although never

many advantages over ordinary black
powder have frequently been demonstrate
ed, and with such success that i'm the
opinion Of experts the black powder for
use in military and naval operations is a
thing Of the past.
"The idea of producing a smokeelss
powder," said Capt. II. c. Aspinwall, ''or-
iginated with Capt. Schultze Of the AUS
trlan army, in 1853 or 1884, but until eight
or nine years ago smokeless powder was
sim used by sportsmen alone.
Some time after Capt Schultze an
nounced his discovery Alfred Nobel, n
Swede, invented 'baliisnte,' and this gave
an impetus for developing smokeless pow
der for military purposes. AS result Of
experiments, based largely on Nobeps
work. various kinds of smokeless powder
have been made, differing from one an
other In composition, but all quite similar
in general results. Each nation has a spe-
cial brand of It's own. The United States,
for instance, has adopted the powder with
nltro-glycerine as it's principal Ingredient.
English powder is known as 'cordite' and
the Italian and German and 'ballistite,'
and so on. All smokeless powders, how
ever consist Of a combination OF nitro

There has been many objections 10

How Some French Cooks Restore
Old Meats.

From the New York Press.
If we accept the conclusions of the ply
sicians Anton Seidl was one of the wonders
Of the century, as well as music genius.
Nothing short Of poison could have re-
moved a man who had lived happily with
crrhosis of the liver, fatty degeneration
OF the heart, Brghts disease Of the kid
neys and well-developed gall-stones.
If people will insist on eating ptomaines,
why not have them well cooked? Surely
cooking would kill them and prevent them
from killing us. The probabilities are that
the large quantity OF shadroe that Mr..
Seidl ate for luncheon had reached the al
kaloid state before II left the dealers, and
the processes Of genuine pathogenic bac-
terra were well under way. The ptomaines
had arrived at the age Of discretion, and 1t
was merely natural that they should have
performed their functions. The spawn was
served, undoubtedly just warmed, hence
death.
The refrigeration OF meats is a constant
menace 20 the health of the community,
and the only antidote is fire. Beef, NUT
ton, poultry and fish are kept IN cold stor-
age for months, and when purchased froz-

cheap French restaurants have ways Of

the economical methods Of la Belle France
must either throw away the purchase or

The French have degenerated to so great
an extent that children are begotten at the
expense OF the state. Decaying teeth have
caused the nation 70 regard putrefied meats
as a delicacy, hence the necessity Of a
