BOYS CLUBS.
a Paper on the Subject Kipiing
Lecture History,

The Cousins Society held an inter-
esting meeting at the home of J. Il.
Anterior last Saturday evening. A
paper was read by Percy NJ. Pond on
Boys Clubs" He spoke of the diff
ferent organizations of this nature
that existed in Honolulu, and COM
pared them with the clubs of large
ciles' Inc need OF complete and CEN
tral organization is apparent in order
That the most good may be acc )m-
plished. Professor Richards delivered
short talk on the same subject.
Miss Matte Chamberlain read a let
ter from Miss Lucia Lyons, who is at
tending the University of Michigan.
Miss Lyons gave an interesting ac-
count of lecture on Kipling which
she had attended. In the lecture the
following questions were discussed:
what has kipling that other writer's
nave not? What does KIpling lack
mat other writers possess? What
would we wish that Kipling had?
Robert Andrews read a report of
what had been done in regard to a GER
tain work proposed by the society.
This work is the gathering together of
all the data concerning all the mis-
sionaries of these Islands, with a view
10 publishing it in book form at a lat
er time. The preliminary steps have
already been taken.
Rev. j. 7. Gulick, of Japan, gave a
brief account Of the missionary work
that Is being carried on in that coun-
try. The members then INDUCED in
pleasant, informal conversation.

Rare Calabashes.

Miss Oliver, of the Woman's Ex-
change, says that she is OF the opinion
that in two years more there will not
be for sale in these Islands a single
hand made calabash. The demand for
calabashes of this character has been
steady and people of Honolulu have
Travelled all over the group buying
them. Every tourist OF means takes o
hand made calabash away and no rev
ones are appearing. The few stocks on
the market are quite small at this
Time Island people and natives In
good circumstances prize the hand
made calabashes highly, and OF the
many private collections here very few
indeed can be broken under any cir
cumstances.

Control Nov Rests with House
Of Brewer & Co.
SALE MADE BY CASTLE & COOKE
Agency Goes Over Permanently
The stock Which Mr.. Poilitz
tIrst Boughr.

Another big plantation deal has been
onsummited. Thursday afternoon
Brewer AZ Co. purchased from Castle a
Cooke $4,000 shares OF Onomea. This
was the entire interest neld by the
latter firm. The price paid was not
made pubic. but 1t Is known that II
was higher rate per share than wa
paid by Mr.. POLITE a short time ago
when he made his purchase. The price
PAID by him was sl37la a share on the
basis Of 800 each.
Originally Onomea plantation was
equally divided between the two firms
Brewer a. Go. and Castle a. Cooke,
Tho agency was held alternate years
by eaoh company A short time ago
Mr.. Il. POLITE made the first OF his
large Island deals by purchasing a.
900 shares OF Onomea. After that the
two firms then held 1900 shares each,
still retaining the controlling interest
between them.
Not long ago an offer was made TO
Castle a. Cooke for n part OF their in
terest II this were sold TO a third
party the control would have passed
from Brewer a. Co and Castle & Cooke.
The first named firm Immediately
made Castle a. Cooke an offer for their
whole interest Of 1900 shares. The
purchase was completed day before
yesterday. This gives them the con-
trolling interest OF 10000 shares. Mr..
POLITE still retains his $4,000.
The first deal In Onomea by Mr..
Pollltz was the beginning of a series
Of large transactions In sugar stocks.
He took his purchase to San Francisco
and when he had finished the deal
there was handsome balance to his
credit.
Onomea Is one OF the well establish
ID plantations Of the Islands. That
Brewer & Co. have a firm faith in It Is
evidenced by their Willingness to
purchase 1900 shares OF It, and at n
good price. The crop for 1896 was
10000 tons. For 1898 IL was 10. 400
ons. Now that the complete control
las passed into Brewer e. Co.'S hands
hey will retain the agency. The man
'gement will remain the same.

WON ON HIS NERVE.
Cheeky Chicagoan Became bucket

A CATS TREACHERY.
Thomas Made Friends with His
Natural Enemy and Then
DeVOured Him.

A family leaving town for the sum-
mer left behind one Thomas, big cat,
who had a reputation throughout the
street in which he lived as a fighter
and ratter.
Provision was made for Thomas sub
sistence during the summer with the
millman, who each morning poured
into a dish inside the area some milk.
Thomas, while vicious enough to
other than intimate acquaintance,
was while at home of Sa<la..e disposi-
ton. Personally he missed a great deal
the family and the PIT pug, with whom
he was on the best of terms.
At any rate on the family's return
the members were surprised when the
servant hurried upstairs and told
them Tom was playing in most friend
ly manner in the area with an immense
rat.
Everybody tiptoed down to look.
Sure enough Tom had made new
friend. His love of society had over
come his natural instinct, and he was
drinking his breakfast while the rat
was jumping around the saucer in the
most unconcerned manner.
But alas for the rats confidence in
feline nature! For few days all went

were often seen together and were
always apparently on the best of terms.

body. Thomas whiskers were stained
with blood.
Either the whilom friends had quar-
relied, or, relieved by the return of the
family from the necessity of taking up
with any acquaintance he could make,
Thomas had decided to give up his
friendship. And with that decision
probably his normal instincts had re-
sumed their sway.-Golden Days.

THE ART OF COOKING.
1t Lies in knowing How to Prepare
One Dish in n Hundred APP
petizing Ways.

No more should be cooked than is in
tended to be eaten at one meal, says
Mrs Lemcke, the cooking expert. The
true art of cooking lies not in cooking
large pieces of meat, or in cake, bread
and pastry baking, but in how to pre-
pare one kind of meat and fish in a
hundred different ways, how to utilize
everything so that nothing is wasted
and to convert all that may be left from
one meal to savory and palatable dishes
for the next; to combine herbs, spices,
onion, chives and garlic in such a way
that all the ingredients are harmonious
ly blended, that nothing predominates;
that vegetables retain their natural
flavors and are not spoiled by the in
gradients added; that meat is cooked
in such a way that nothing of its nu-
tritious value is lost. A great deal of
the unhappiness of this world is due to
poor food. Drunkenness, which is a
craving for stimulating and intOXicat-
ing drinks, is certain consequence of
an injudicious diet. If all our women
were better acquainted with the ele-
ments of the human system they would
then know that no one can keep in good
health unless these elements receive
the proper nourishments to supply the
waste of tissue.
