Washington Post: 1 met a man yes.
terday who used to be in the circus
business or at least, in one branch Of
it, for he made most of the money he
has now by keeping a lemonade stand
near the big tent-the main TOP" he
calls it. Circus lemonade has been SO
long stock joke of the humorists that
felt a desire to know how it is really
made. l asked the man to tell me, and
with perfect candor he gave me this
recipe:
Take one barrel of water, preferably
rain water; add to it three pounds OF
tartaric acid, a little cochineal sugar to
taste, and half a dozen lemons slicef
thin.
The profits of his lemonde stand. he
told me, frequently reach 500 a day.
I'VE make more in the cities than in
the country he said.
"Why? 1 asked. Because of the
larger crowd?"
mo" he answered, but country peo-
pie always eat the lemon. City people
leave II in the glass or simply throw 1t
on the grass, where it can be picked up
again. The real secret of success is, al
ways save the fioater"
After all, l never knew anybody to
surfer from the effects of circus lemo-
made and the plan of always saving the
noaters is really no more startling than
the little economy 1 saw practiced by
a Washington hostess one afternoon re-
cently. she was giving a reception, and
in momentary lull the young woman
at the punch bowl asked for a servant
TO empty the glasses which guests had
left half filled. The hostess did not even
whisper.
My dear she said, frankly, pour
all BACK into the punch bowl. It's

scribed cylinders 1t was thought by schob
srs that the name Belshazzar was In
vented by the author Of Daniel. but II
is now evident that such person really
existed The inscriptions state that Ma
bonidus was the last king of Babylon
and that Belshazzar was his eldest son.
We may conclude that in the case OF
the Book of Daniel the tradition which
the author followed in calling the last
King Belshazzar may have arisen from
the prominence of the son of Nabonldus
during his fathers reign, ano perhaps es'
pecially toward it's close, in the govern
ment of Babylon and that the statement
of Belshazzar's death about the time, OF
the capture of Babylon possibly had its
origin in the death of the kings son at
the hands of the Persians, as recorded
in the inscriptions.
The second great inaccuracy OF the
author is his introduction into the story
of the queen mother, who must have
been the mother of Nabonidus. Accord
ing to the author, the queen entered the
hall and suggested that the Jewish
prophet Daniel be called to interpret the
mysterious writing. Now we know for
certainty through recent discoveries that
the mother of Nabonidus died eight years
before this feast is said to have taken
place, 20 that her presense there would
be clearly impossible.
The third and last striking inaccuracy
is that Median king, Darius received
the Kingdom aIter the emu OF the HdllVe
Babylonian dynasty. 1t is well known
that Babylon was captured by Cyrus,
the Persian king. From this introduce
ton of a Median Darius directly aftel
the fall of Belshazzar it Is evident that
the author of the Book of Daniel be-
lieved in the existence of a Median king
between the Babyloniani and Persian dy-
nasties, and the Interpolation of such
king can only be regarded as a most
glaring inaccuracy, with no historical
foundation.
To sum up, the assertion that Bel,
shazzar was the last king of Babylon,
that the queen dowager was present at
a great feast on the eve of the capturS
Of Babylon, and that Darius was the
king who took the empire when 1t fell
are statements directly contrary to the
history of that period as we have Learnt
it to-day by means of excavation and
scientific research
The Book of Daniel loses none of it$
beauty and force because we are thus
compelled to criticise 1t and show ltd
inaccuracies in the Light Of modern study,
nor should conservative scholars be dis
mayed because the historical accuracy
of the work is thus destroyed. If viewed
i'm the proper light 1t certainly cannot
be called a forgery, but merely such by
the author. 1t should be perfectly pos
sible for intelligent Christians to consider
the book just as powerful, viewed &C.
cording to the authors intention as
consolation to Gods people in their dire
distress If 1t were (what an ancient
but mistaken tradition has made iO really
an accurate account recording the events
pertaining to the fall of Babylon,

Birney Hand M D.: This is the season
of the year when the fiend of tonics and
bitters is abroad in the land. and the ills
of many lives are rightly charged to ir-
Irregularities of the liver. This rather
stale pun like many others, bears big
truth on its back. A few popular falla-
cies regal ding alcoholics cannot 1t seems
to me, be too often refuted and the white
light of science thrown full on the gross
errors of the last generation
OF the &C untless brood of Differs" and
'tonics'' whose siren smile from the drug
gist's shelves lure so many lazy livers,
every one contains alcohol, from 3 per
cent, in Vinegar Bitters-about what beer
bought over the bar contains-to 80 per
cent in Richardson Bitters-more than Is
found in the best brandy, whisky or gin.
The BEST Tcnic," though claiming to be
practically nol-alcoholic, as do many 9TH
ers, contains over 7 per cent of ''fire
water" Not one of all the list would be
used by al ybody were alcohol, their COM
mon base, to be distracted. This may
readily be done by boiling briskly q few
minutes. Afterwards administer and you
will find the popularity of those bitters
has gone along with the alcohol, and dish
alter only remains. The same may be
said of book beer and the whole beer
and ale family.
Alcohol is product of decay; is a slow
poison to the human organism; is not di-
gested nor chemically changed in the
system, but is thrown out as quickly as
possible by the excretory organs as alco-
hol except that it is diluted. Hence.
First-Alcohol is not n food and NOT a
particle of nutriment is contained in a
barrel of it. AS to the claims of nutri-
ton in beer and ale. they are ridiculously
false: There is more nutriment in a loaf
of the worst bread than keg of the best
beer.
Second-Alcohol can impart no force not
drawn from the reserve vitality of the
system any more than a whip can give
power to a tired horse. There is an in
eVitable reaction after it's use.
Third-Alcohol can supply no heat to
the system, and the sensation of warmth
the temperature of the body is really low
cred by its use.
Fourth-Alcohol in any form does not
aid digestion, but always retards and
often suspends it entirely.
Fifth-Alcohol not only does not prevent
disease, nor cure 1t, except possibly in the
farest cases-which i am about ready to
quit excepting-but In the efficient proxi-
mate cause of a large share of the most
lntractable diseases known to the profess
sion. Mortuary statistics of drinking
men are sufficiently startling II individual
observation were to go for nothing. Tes.

companies Is in the same line. and is be-
coming yearly stronger.

to this effect was received by P. c.
Jones from R. P. Rithet.
Mr.. Davies is native of England
and came first to the Sandwich ISL
ands in 1857, and entered the employ
of r. c. JaniOn in the mercantile es-
tablishment which now bears his (Mr.
DaviesO name. A few years later he
went to Victoria, B. c., and Portland,
Oregon, in the interest of his firm.
which had also branch houses in those
cities, and from there in 1865 to Eng
land, where for two years he was
connected with Mr.. Janion's business
in that country. In 1867, he came
again to Honolulu, and became a part
ner of Mr.. Janion, the style of the
firm being then changed to that of
Theo. H. Davies. For the ensuing IA
or Is years, with the exception of Oc-
casional visits abroad, Mr.. Davies re-
sided in Honolulu, after which he re-
turned to England, and devoted his
personal attention to the conduct Of
the Liverpool business of TheO. H.
Davies & Co., leaving the Honolulu
establishment under the management
of Mr.. Thomas Rain Walker, who was
made a partner in. 1888, and Mr.. F. NJ.
Swanzy. who was admitted to partner
ship, some time subsequently, both Of
whom had for many years previously
been trusted associates. MR. Davies
has lived in his native country almost
ever since. During his residence in
Honolulu, this gentleman by judicious
investments in sugar plantations, by
shrewd business management, and by
straightforward, honorable methods,
accumulated a large fortune, and did
much to develop the industry which is
now the country's main source of re
venue.
Mr.. Davies was a man of charitable

EVE OF BATTLE.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-This has
been a day of exciting rumors. Sen
sational reports of a battle in the
Windward passage in which Admiral
Sampson is said to have sunk the en-
tire Spanish squadron have reached
Washington from Madrid, from Lon
don and from Port Au Prince by the
way of New York, but up to late
hour tonight no official confirmation
of the engagement could be secured
in any quarter, and Secretary Long,
when seen just before midnight, re-
iterated the statement made in official
bulletins posted just before the Navy
Department closed to the effect that no
information had been received indi-
eating that an action had occurred
in the Windward Passage"
From this time forth until definite
news is received the administration
will be in almost momentary expecta-
ton of a report of decisive battle,
the issue of which is not doubted in
official circles here.
The American navy now has up
wards of sixty ships in the Carribian
Sea, and while as has been pointed
out, Lord Nelson spent three months
in chasing the enemy about the Me-
diterranean he had neither so many
vessels nor were they capable of such
high speed as the squadrons of Samp-
son and Schley. The American COM
manders have the additional advantage
of cable communication, which enables
the Board of Strategy to advise the
senior admiral almost daily of the
latest reports concerning the where
abOuts of the enemy.
While it is conceded that the supe-
rior speed of Cervera's squadron would
enable him to run from the American
vessels, the impression 9 is gaining
strength that he does not intend to
leave the Carribian Sea, and hence
that sooner or later he will fall into
Simpsons hands.
