Mr.. Theo. HI. Davies has by his
generous offer Of donation and en-
dowment revived the sleeping
project of Victorian Jubilee hos
pital for incurables. At the meet
ing to arrange for a fitting com
nemoration of the great event, il
was quite apparent that MAORI
ty was opposed to that part of the
program submitted. Privately,
several of the participants uttered
the very same objections that
form the subject matter of the
cautionary comments, not to say
misgivings, of Mr.. Davies
in letter to Mr.. Young.
One prominent and wealthy gen
tleman, at subcommittee meet
ing on another subject of the pro
ceedings, used quite strong langu-
age in declaring his sense of the
individuality of founding an in
stitution to attract the invalidism
OF other countries to this burg
At the general meeting, however,
thu large subscription announced
by Mr.. Young had the effect Of
silencing all opposition, as some
of those who had consented to
talk against the scheme, being not
in position to contribute a large
amount to any commemorative
design, did not feel like throwing
cold water on other peoples
munifcent philanthropy. There
is no doubt, however, that, under
precautionary regulations such as
Mr.. Davies suggests, a hospital
for incurables would be benefi

Macintosh, fully demonstrated

SATURDAY, FEB. 26, 1898.

A Sydney daily paper, sent to
the BULLETIN by friend living
there, is found to contain a most
interesting news article on the
subject of ramie fibre. 1t will be
rem INBRED by readers of this
pa ,er that about year ago Mr..
Gomess, chemist in India, was
announced to have invented b
chemical process for cleaning the
for. This had long been sought
aud there was large reward out
sta lding for it during several
years. This Sydney paper tells
of London firm that owns the
Gomes1 patents, and gives ex
tracts from reports of the Agent
General of New South Wales in
London upon samples of ramit
sent from that colony to be work
cd up. With these reports has
been sent to Sydney show cas-
containing samples of the
ramie in all stages of manu-
facture, from the crude ribbons
mp to stout canvas sail cloth, the
finest damask tablecloth, knitted
socks difficult to dis nguish from
silk, window curtains and silk
brocade - mixture OF silk and
rsmie--''an extraordinary variety
of fabrics to be all made from the
same material" The Agent Gen
eral urges the cultivation Of ramle
in the colony, suggesting that the
rights of manufacture there might
be obtained. He quotes the price
rs $40 ton, but says that, owing
to the processes, it will not keep
at that figure. La the meantime,
however, demand is forwarded
for all of the material that the
colony can send. Thus far the
cultivation in New South Wales
appears to be only upon govern
ment farm. 1t is a wonder that,
with the information of the pre-
cess published here, there has not
been a revival of ramie growing
ir these islands. Like other vege
tation ramie grows very rankly in
our soil, and needs not great
deal of care. 1t surely ought to
be included in the products of
Hawaiian farms, where it could
be planted in odd streaks and
corners of land.

RACIAL PREJUDICE AGAIN,

Iu your morning contemporary of

neither virtue nor capacity, and

We feel as if they had been rob

The American correspondent of
the London Times, writing from
New York, recently quoted an
eminent prelate as saying, "Ame-
ricans have not the same vigi
lance and interest in the Govern.
meut as the English have. Iu
England every man is intere ted

the result ? Is there better
governed country in the world
than England
This utterance is characterized
by the correspondent as zone of

tries, there is another course,
besides hugging and kissing, that
one of the lea ting New York pa
pers sugg sted in words as
follows: "rhe suspicious and
ideal coalition, from the view
point OF the American Republic,
would be one between Russia,
Germany and France for the par

which We should survey the ruin
of our hereditary foe"
Delenda est Carthage! With
too many, it matters not that
Britain stands for political and
commercial freedom, and grave
charges are laid at her doors,
open to all the world. Britain,
unlike others, is selfish; is emin-
emily successful in her little
affairs. Like Others, however,
she is determined, to the
best of her ability, "to peg
out claims for posteri'y," and ''if
any one tries to rush those
claims" she will, with equal de
termination, gently endeavor t,
prevent them. In this matter,
signs are not wanting that her
children beyond the s as will not
be found apart from her. An
eminent British statesman, in a
speech made at Liverpool last
month, closed an eloquent perors
ton with swords of an i'm perially

fellow subjects. He said
We will make promise as long as

we shall feel that my strength

great fight Of all,
The House shall stand together and |

Flies and Typhoid Fever.

LYONS, N. Y, Sept. 3.-Dr M. A.
Veeder has been able to complete a
series Of observations with reference
to the spread Of typhoid fever through
the agency of flies. cit is found, .
says DR.. Veeder, "that living germs
will even remain alive after being swal-
lowed by the fly, SO that the insects
become positively infected with dis
ease. In addition there is the direct
transfer of infection by the adhering
of germs to their feet and probosces
and their coming into contact with
food.
'sNo doubt this is the explanation
of much Of the sickness in the army.
Food is very apt to be left accessible
to the invasion Of multitudes OF flies,
and disease to spread rapidly in con-
sequence, even when the water supply
is all right. In such cases the furnish
ing Of delicacies Of every sort does not
meet the source Of the trouble. I'm
mediate and thorough disinfection is
what is required.
"The subject is practical and of i'm
mediate interest during the sultry
period. Proper screens for doors and
windows and even sticky fly paper are
hygienic precautions and may save life.
'sThe matter was somewhat discuss
ed at the meeting Of the American
Microscopical Society, just concluded,
at Syracuse, and from what was there
said, it is evident that the idea is a
new one and may serve to explain
much that has been mysterious here
tofore in regard to the spread offevers
Of this type. ."-Neao York Times.

Wide Awake Boys.

When General Grant was boy, his
mother one morning found herself
without butter for breakfast, and sent
him to borrow some from neighbor.
Going, without knocking, into the
house of his neighbor, who was then
atWest Point, young Grant overheard
aletter read from the son, stating that
he had failed in examination and was
coming home. He got the butter, took
ithome, and without waiting for break
fast, ran down to the Office of the
congressman from that district.
"Mr. Hamar," he said, will you
appoint me to West Point?"
"No; so-and-so is there, and three
years to serve"
"But suppose he should fail; will
you send me?"
Mr.. Hamar laughed. ''If he don't
go through, no use for you to try.
Promise you'll give me chance,
Mr.. Hamar, anyhow"
Mr.. Hamar promised.
The next day the defeated lad came
home and the congressman, laughing
at Uly's sharpness, gave him the ap-
pointment.
"Now," said Grant, cit was my
mothers being out of butter that made
me general and president But it
was his own shrewdness to see the
chance and promptly to seize it that
urged him upwards.-United Presby-
