The Cotte de Fer (the Ironsides) resem- bles the Herve, but is stronger, slightly taller, of very proud carriage, and with a thick plumage of bluish gray cslor, like the cock of Malnes. The comb is large, straight and finely notched The eyes are dark gray the sills and earlobes red, and the wattles elongated. The neck is rather long, arched and delicate; the breast de- yeloped and deep; the tair erect, rather well developed and quite long and bushy. This fowl stands higher than the two first mentioned, is very good layer, and weighs about five and three-suarter pounds.
 The Combattant of Liege has height of about two feet and eight inches fer the cock and one foot eleven inches for the hen, and weighs from eight and sne-half to thirteen pounds. Its white eggs weigh from two to three ounces. Its plumage is variegated, golden, bluish, grayish, yellow and red. The last coloring is the most highly esteemed The comb is single or double 0he first preferred); the eyes are dark gray; ear lobes red. It has very lit tie fesh but a strongly developed chest ; muscular and strong shoulders; long legs, bluish-black in color. and a rather heavy tail. which Is almost always black. AL though the Combattant of Liege is still kept for the cock pit it is also beginning to be esteemed for it's "poulets de grains" (grain chickens) by reason of their abund- ant white and savory meat.
 All of these fowls are found in the prov ince of Liege, and are popular

Precocious Chickens


 One variety, known as the Bracket, in reality Campine, but larger and laying slightly heavier eggs, is found in a more or less pure state on Flemish farms. These fowls, besides being the best layers In the world, furnish an egg of exquisite taste and precocious chickens, distinguished by meat equal to the finest bird. The Bracket derives its name from Neder Bracket a commune in southern Flanders, where this 1owi IS chiefly found. The markets of the neighborhood are renowned for their capon fowls Indeed, when buying young cocks one Is at once asked to capon them thus increasing the value of the meat South ern and Western Flanders enjoy a large trade in eggs with the cities on the French frontier, where dealers come every week to buy them by the thousands

Some one finds fault with the custom
of throwing leis from the steamer to
the shore. Now to many it seems
very pretty custom indeed. Those who
receive the leis throw some of them
back as remembrances to their friends
ashore. 1t is the last thing that has
been worn by the loved one. After the
last kiss has been given, the last hand
clasp received, comes this messenger
from the steamer deck which breathes
with it's fragrance a last Aloha to
those who stay behind There is much
poetry in the idea, and many a flower
ct taken from the last lei thrown
ashore is preserved to show the wan
derer on the return, or is kept as last
relic of one who will never return,
never more be met this side of the I'M
known and unfathomable. Apart from
this feeling, the shower of flowers from
the departing steamer is charming to
the eve.

PREPARATION.
the eve.

The Paris exhibition of 1900 is not
so far off, and Hawaii, as the youngest
daughter of the United States, will
have to do her modest best to show
that she is worthy of the proud posi-
ton which she has gained.
Commissioner Peck has been giving
out some suggestions which it will be
wise to ponder over. He dwells upon
the advantage of an educational ex
hibit. This is under way, and Hawaii
should be able to show good work in
this line. In addition to the work, pho
tographs of the children actually in
school should be obtained besides the
ordinary group pictures.
Tne commissioner also urges loans Of
paintings and works of art. OF those
strictly Hawaiian we have not very
large number, but we have some that
should be sent to decorate the walls
of the territorial exhibit.
But what Commissioner Peck speci-
ally emphasizes is the making of an
exhibit from each individual state and
territory of exhibits on industrial lines
which will stand for the best that the
people of the United States can do. 1t
is upon this that especial pains should
be spent. We are now a part of the
people of the United States and we
must show what our manufactures and
industries are. We do not want to dis
play a lot of musty curios, whose place
is in a museum, but we want to show
the living, breathing work of the popu-
lation, and the means by which the
wealth Of the country is acquired,
In such an exhibit there should not
only be specimens of the manufactures
but there should be models of the ma
chinery in use and even of a whole SUI
gar mill There should be sets Of
photographs of all the working of a
plantation. Coffee should be treated
in the same way. 1t is the Industries
of the country that we want to show.
We want people to see our future, with
it's commercial and Industrial possibil-
tiles, we do not want to dwell upon the
past.
For work of this kind preparation
should already be making and thought
should be devoted TO properly carrying
out an exhibit that will be worthy of
the Islands. and worthy of their pro-
sressive spirit, This is matter that
