\ PREGNANT SENTENCE.

very pregnant sentence was ut
tered in the United States House of
Representatives the other day. Gros-
venor was speaking in defense of the
Presidential policy against an attack
by Lentz of Ohio. The words were
when war is declared the President
becomes at once vested by the Con-
stitution with the power to conclude
treaties with foreign countries
Grosvenor knows, presumably. what
he is talking about, but some of our
great pundits here will probably chal-
lenge his knowledge; they know so
much more than the American states
men,
But if General Grosvenor is right,
what becomes of the argument that
it would be impossible for the Ameri-
can flag to be raised here without the
consent of Congress. The President
has the Hawaiian Annexation Treaty
in Washington 1t has been ratified
by the Hawaiian Senate He has. ac.
cording to General Grosvenor, should
war be declared, a perfect constitu-
tional right to conclude that treaty,
and run up the Stars and Stripes ov-
er Hawaii. But then the Kings street
statesmen know so much better. Gros-
venor's four lines may furnish them
with a column or so of gulf"

RAPID TRANSIT.

The majority report of the special
committee on electric railways is
against extending the franchise of
the Hawaiian Tramway Company.
For this the committee gives its rea-
sons, and they will be freely endors-
ed by the community. The service
given by the Tramway Company has
been a disgrace to the town. 1t is
slow, the cars are Anticipated and dir
ty. and no tourist or visitor comes to
this town without condemning the
whole outfit as unworthy of progress
sive place. Yet for the past seven
years this corporation has held fran
chise for the use of electric power.
But it never thought of putting in
electric power till the rumble of an
other company was heard.
With our previous experience of this
company, and its general manage
ment, it would be extremely unwise
for the Legislature to throw its capt.
tai city once more into the hands OF
set of people who have treated it,,
to say the very least, cavalierly and
shabbily. Moreover, the argument
that the proposed Rapid Transit Com
pany will be started with home cap
ital, while the Tramways Company is
owned almost entirely abroad, is a
cogent one. The dividends of the for
mer will stay in the country, the div
idends of the other go abroad. OF one
thing we may feel assured. There is
not room for two companies in this
city and our own people should have
the show.

The question about the Carter me-
mortal reminds one very much of the
adage that you should not show fools
or children unfinished work. A boar
ding is put up around the site IF tGe
fountain and is certainly unsightry,
but so have been the hoardings round
countless pieces of artistic work in
every city under the sun. In The
course of short debate as to whether
the Senate resolution should be re-
ferred to committee or not it became
very clear that no one in the House
knew anything about the monument.
One honorable member denounced it
as drinking fountain and pointed
out that drinking fountain had
been proposed as a memorial TO Kala-
kaua, and had beer refused because
OF sanitary reasons. Now on investl-

WATER AS A FOOD.
The Pros and the Cons of Ice Water Also
Discussed.

1t is generally acknowledged by physi-
clans that too little fluid is taken rather
than too much, and the great benefit de-
rived from treatment at mineral springs is
often quite as much due TO the amount us
TO The kind of water--that is so far as the
cure Is due To water at all and not to reg
ular habits, exercise in the air, better
mental condition, faith in the cure, etc.
Many diseases are directly due to too
great concentration of the fluids of the
body and are TO be counteracted by the
inhibition of larger quantities, for time
ut least. To have sufficient water present
Is the rationale of water cures, especially
that form which prescribes the drinking
of cupful of hot or cold water half an
hour before meals. This not only washes
out the stomach; 1t furnishes the medium
for the active secretions, ptyalin, gastric
juice, etc, in quantity. On the other hand,
excess lies in the path of this as we'll as
other things, and what Is a rule for one Is
not a rule for another. However, IL one
finds that the taking of a pint of water
will relieve that sense of oppression and
indigestion which sometimes occurs an
hour or two after meal, and that only
favorable effects follow, the inference Is
that too little was taken with the food.
There Is not much danger Of taking too
much clear water.
The temperature Of the water to be
drunk is often vexed question. This may
be left to the individual, for the quantity
taken (one-half to one pinD at any time
can have but little influence upon the
temperature of the Ia pints of blood circu-
lating rapidly about the 20 or more pounds
of water in the tissues, which are main
tanned at u temperature of nearly 100 de-
grees.
For experiment two tumblers Of ice
water have been slowly swallowed and
promptly siphoned out and found to have
attained temperature Of 90 degrees In
five minutes. 1t is true that 1t is possible
to swallow ice water so rapidly and in such
quantities that the stomach receives mo-
mentary chill and disturbance sets in, but
this is no reason why all ice water should
be forbidden. Kitchen Maya

THE BRITISH TORY.
The Kind of Englishman Who Hates
America and the Americans.

There Is among certain classes a super
cilious and insular spirit of patronizing
criticism. We have the old fashioned high

and everybody in it, There are so few of

has influenced his class and IL Is chiefly

the spirit have mentioned is found. At
the other end Of the social scale is the type
of bigoted, untraveled Englishman who,
on the top of many solid virtues, possesses,
and somewhat blatantly expresses, the
views which offend all our neighbors so
much. Furthermore 1t Is not only the un-
travelled Englishman who Is frequently q
severe critic of things transatlantic. The
man who goes to the United States to

those casually made on the steamer or the
train, who peroeives American independ-

found a vacant table, and AIRY was soon
discussing the bill of fare, which, as usual,
reads something like this: "Consomme or

the waiter If they could have only one of

SHE WAS A GOOD GIRL.
And Didn't Need Her Bible Stories Out of
Hours.


There is one young mother on the South
Side who has resolved that her children
shall not be allowed to come to the table
at meal time when visitors are present.
Heretofore she has entertained theory
! that as soon as children were old enough to
feed themselves the table was the place for
them to take their meals in company with
the family. BY this method they could be
properly disciplined and grow up under
the influence of good manners.
Her theory was apparently accomplish
ing the desired results when relatives ar
rived for a visit. One of them was the
proverbial rich old aunt, for whom the
oldest child-a girl of 6 years-had been
named This was the first visit she had
made since the christening, five years be-
fore. On this occasion she had acted rs
godmother and had deposited quite sum
of money in the ohild's name. On every
birthday since she had added to it. So ii
was greatly desired that the child should
be particularly amiable to this rich old
lady and make an impression that would
be remembered. And she did.
During tho visit the aunt had told the
child numerous Bible stories. They were
not especially interesting and the child
was getting tired OF them. One night at
! dinner she showed unmistakahlc signs of
becoming openly rcbellious. Tho mother,
doubling the wisdom Of her theory, was in
the act of ringing tho bell for the nurse 10
take her away from tho table when tho
aunt undertook to restore peace and quiet
by interesting her in Bible story. Sho
was only fairly started when tho child flew
into rage and, picking up large spoon,
exclaimed:
"Stopl Don't you tell me any more OF
your Bible stories. / won't listen. stop,
say. If you don't, I'll throw this spoon
at you. l am II good girl. l say my prayers
on Tuesdays and Thursdays and / won't
be told any more Bible stories. Chicago

Mesmerizing n Cat.

One day not long ago well known
Lewiston physician attempted To mesmer-
lie a cat. Several people dropped in to see
the operation. The cat was put into box
in order that she would not run of, and a
couple of looking glasses were moved
slowly about In front of the feline eyes.
All went well for few minutes. The cat
seemed surprised and Strengthened out its
neck, then shut Its eyes and seemed to be
asleep. The doctor turned with a look OF
triumph To those about him, but before he
could speak the cat "lit" out Of the box
