STATE OF CONVALESCENTS
Hospital on PuuChboWl is Visited by
Red Cross Committee.
Everything Found Satisfactory Small Articles
Needed Danger Of Appetite An
UDiounded Complaint.

At the Red Cross Society's meet
ing, Mrs. j. N. Wright, Mrs. U.
Thompson and Mrs. Jas. Lyle
we're appointed a committee to
visit the convalescent hospital on
Punchbowl. They did so the
same afternoon. Everything was
found in good order, excepting for
the need of more sheets, pillow
cases and mosquito nets. The
patients were cheerful and for the
most part thoroughly contented.
They sat down to good supper
while the ladies we're there. Those
left invalided by the LIST New
York were happy in the prospect
of leaving for home on Tuesday.
The stewards position is nc
sinecure. He has to be contlnu.
ally on guard to keep the patients
with returning appetite from eat
ing articles that would set them
back. Some return from their
first walk into town carrying vege-
tables and fruits that are
unfit as diet for persons
in their condition. One man who
violated all caution in this respec,
has had to go to Buena Vista hos
pital, where he has since been ly.
ing in a critical condition.
A suggestion has been made Of
an exception to general content
ment. The ladies' heard a com
plant that one man had never re-
ceived any wine jelly. 1t was ex
planned, however, that this GieIi
cacy was only given to patients il
weak state. The complainer hat
all along had an appetite for more
substantial pabulum.
The committee reported Orally
to Mrs. II. NJ. Sewall, president Of

Window.

Grace BeckIsy Kahes Jumps from a
Window.
There was CONSERVATION at the
Kamehameha Girls School at
about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon
when it was learned that Miss
Grace Beckley Kahea, niece of
Geo. @. Beckley of the Wilder
Steamship Company, had COM
mitted suicide by jumping from
the library window on the third
floor and falling to the cement
pavement beneath distance of
about forty feet.
Miss Kahea, a Kamehameha
girl herself, had gone to Miss
Pope, the principal, and had ask
ed her if the library had been en-
tirely vacated. Upon receiving an
answer in the affirmative, she sent
her sister on an errand and her
cousin, who followed her, after
glass of water. Just as the latter
was going away, deceased got
through the window and jumped.
Her cousin caught her dress but
was too late.
When found on the ground be-
meath, deceased gave three or four
gasps and was dead. The fall had
broken her back, her right clavicle
and arm, as we'll as both wrists.
There was cut across her nose
and several bruises appeard on
her face.
Deceased was about eighteen
years of age. She had been under
the doctors care for several
months on account of mental aber-
rations and, about a month ago,
was taken out of school. All her
books were denied her and she
went to live with her cousins, the
Misses Dawson, in Msnoa Valley.
She seemed to recover somewhat
but, of course, was closely
watched
On Friday, there was a chang e
for the worse. Deceased kept
saying, something is going to
I happened tomorrow" On Satur-
day, she seemed better again,
kissed her cousins goodbye at the
Montana home aud then went up
to see her mother who, with her
husband, lives back of the Royal
Mausoleum in Nuuauu valley.
This was about 2 o'clock, She
kissed her mother goodbye aud
then went to Kameham cha School
to see the girls. When came the
awful death that has been related.
The body was removed to the
Beckley home on King street and
the funeral took place from there
Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Silas
Perry of Kamehameha officiating.
Both the KLmehameha girls and
boys sang and eight of the latter
acted as pall-bearer.
Deceased was very popular
among her friends and was
favorite at Kamehameha. She
WAS bright in her studies and
showed ambition to acquire more
knowledge as each day came and
went.

New York; Little Shops.

New York, with all its greatness, is in some respects the most condensed place on earth. Down in Mulberry street there is shop just wide enough for cobbler's bench and hardly long enough to permit three customers to stand in line. Here the industrious doctor of soles sits all day long and plies his trade, interrupted occasional ly by customer, who obscures his day light.
 There are cigar stores so dimtnutive that a man can scarcely turn around in them. In Broadway, not far from Herald Square, is place for the sale of the fragrant weed in which a cus- toner can hardly lift his arm without knocking down a box of cigarettes or pile of stogies. It's the proper thing for the purchaser to back out of the place after cautiously applying the match to his recently acquired cigar.
 Smallest of all is a restaurant near the South ferry, where there are shelf and three chairs, and the pies are placed on edge. On busy days those who desire the particular brand of crullers, stew and coffee offered there for sale are obliged to wait outside the doo- for a place at the shelf

spaln,s Great Bufld,u0

Spain possesses one of the largest buildings in the world. It is at once a palace, museum, g library, a picture gallery, monastery, church and a burial place. This wonderful edffice is called the Escorial, although the name is very generally corrupted both in England and America into "Escuri- aI."
 The Eseorial was commenced in 1563 by order of Philip II. of Spain and was intended partly as g royal burial place for the kings of Spain and partly as a commemoration of Philips victory over the French at St. Quentin in 1857. It is built entirely of granite, and measures "A feet in length by $50 feet in breadth. At each corner is a tower 200 feet in height The building is supposed to represent an enormous gridiron lying upside down, and this shape Is believed to have reference to St. Lawrence, who was martyred on gridiron.
 Twenty-one years were spent in building it. and it cost s12.000, 900. It has been twice partly destroyed by lightning and was sacked by the French soldiers in 1908. There are 14,000 doors and 11,0O0 windows.

EncIne Driven By sacterin.

N. P. Melnikoff, the editor of inc Russian journal Technologue. has made little model of an engine which depends for its motive power upon tbe Fermentation of bacteria. Although the engine of itself has no practical value, it nevertheless furnishes an in teresting example Of the power which can be derived from fermenting bod ies. Mir. Melnikoff decomposes glucose into It's constituents One hundred and eighty parts glucoee will give ninety two part sof alcohol and elchtv-pig6+ parts of carbon dioxid gas. Tn a con per vessel, glucose, an acid phosphate acetic acid; gelettu, water (75 per cent9, and yeast are mixed together After twenty-four hours the gas with. in the vessel, at temperature of % degreesG. (6S degrees Fl. will have attained Il pressure of four and one half atmospheres. The inventor states that if the vessel containing the yeast bacteria be large, and the engine cvIin. der be eorrespondingly proportioned enough power can be optainei to oper. ate an engine uninterruptedly for twenty or thirty hours. The ferrnen. tation of different bacteria will give different results, the power produced depending upon the quantity of carbon dioXid or other gases generated bv each species of bacteria.

To Beautify scrawny Necks.

Now that it has been discovered that the linen collars worn by women for several years are running the beauty Of their necks. remedies for serawny and wrinkled neeks are in demand.
 If there be a general absence of flesh on the body, careful dieting will do all that is required. As many as five meals day may be 1ndulged in, but they must be taken at regular hours, allow. ing sufficient time for digestion in be-, tween.
 Plenty of milk, milk buildings, eggs, bread, cakes, sweet fruits and all kinds of vegetables, meat well cooked and fish should be partaken of till signs of improvement are visible. Then care must be observed that one does not err in the other direction and become stout. When trying to put on flesh, avoid everything acid, take plenty of warm baths, and sleep and rest as much as possible.
 But if it be only the neck and shoul- 0ers which are scraggy, and more flesh is not required or desirable on the rest of the body, a different method must be pursued. Cod liver oil can be easily taken in little cold water, with a pinch of salt afterward to remove the taste.
 The neck and shoulders must be bathed in warm water before retiring for the night, and olive or sweet oil well rubbed in. In the morning, after bathing, rub gently and in a circular direction for about ten minutes, follow ed by ten minutes exercise with dumb. bells.
 Singing lessons always greatly im- prove the shape of the throat, as this has great deal to do with breathing properly. Take deep breath and hold 1t as long as possible Keep the neck always well and warmly covered.

The Hoecake is Fast Disappearing
 From Southern Tables.

The Hoecake is Fast Disappearing
 From Southern Tables.
 Most middle-aged persons remember well when corn bread was served upon nearly all tables in the south and west at least twice day. Sometimes it ap- peared in the form of "hoecake" or "batter bread and again In '.pones." It was par excellence the bread of the negro, and every man who served in the Confederate army was also Q full graduate in the use of it. Now the darkies eschew 1t where wheat bread is to be obtained. and upon the tables of thousands of southern and western whites it never appears at all, while others continue to use it only for din- ner.
 Now, why is this? Surely corn meal Is as it ever was. Those who sincerely, but probably mistakenly, believe that "water-ground" mnal is better than the product of mills turned by steam can always find supply of that in most cities, and it is common enough in the country. There is Ito trouble about the meal; but we doukt whether the art of cooking it has bean preserved. The high-toned colored damsels who are turned out by our public schools are not the adopts th:tt our old Aunt Di- nahs and Aunt PeGgys were. No self respecting pan of dough would be con- jured into shape by such unskilled hands. And then we may seriously doubt whether cora bread can be cook ed in stove as we'll as in an open fire- place
 The Indians laid their doughcakea between layers of forest leaves or upon the hard ground, and cooked them in the hot ashes. Hen4,e lash cake" very luscious product, indeed, when one has whetted his appetite for it by a long days hunting. The hoecake was so called because it was originally baked upon hoe-that eger-ready and useful instrument of agriculture which is to be found upon every plantation. But later on cooking utensils were manu- factured which took the place of the humble hoe. So too, shingles were used whereupon to place the dough while it went through the process of becoming a well-done ash cake.

An Old House.

T lie oldest house in America is in St. Augustine, Fla. In 1864, is was built by the monks of the Order of St. Francis and the whole of the solid structure is composed of coquina, a combination of sea shells and mortar, which is almost indestructable. When Francis Drake sacked and burned the town this was the only house left in the trail of destruction. It has been purchased by the we'll known antiau- arian, J. W. Henderson, who will make it his winter residence.
