THE LABOR QUESTION.

We really cannot understand why
the all important labor problem
should be treated in the columns OF
the Dole organ with flippancy bor-
dering upon idiocy. Nearly one
column and half is devoted this
morning in humorously CD suggest
ing the introduction Of monkeys as
plantation laborers. and the wisdom
Of such solution Of the grave ques-
dion is demonstrated ia very face
tious (D manner. We presume that
in advocating the introduction OF
apes the jovial editor of the Thurs
ton-Dole organ is simply riding his
hobby horse, heredity, which in this
instance would bring him close to
his other pet theme the Apglo-
Saxons.

A Heavy Sentence.

w. Q. Atwater has got his horse
and buggy back and the boy who
stole the rig has "got" two years.
The young scamp took the rig out
of mischief because he wanted to
give his best girl buggy ride. AT
night he went out riding and in thu
day time he secretsd horse and car
riage in Manoa valley. Judge Will
COX, who has some carriages of his
own, thought the boy would be very
properly located while breaking
rocks in Jail for the next two years
and let someone who can afford it,
or owe for lido the buggy riding
with the best girl.

In answer to Judge Stanley's let
ter OF the 11th inst, wherein he con-
sidered it necessary to publicly state
that | have 20 connection with the
Second Congregation OF St. An
drew's Cathedral, permit me to say
that upon no recent occasion, that
am aware of, have been referred to
as having claimed connection there
with.
Correspondence emanating from
the Church Defence e. Extension
Association is signed by its presi.
dent, Mr. Harris, or its secretary,
myself, as was he letter to the BIZ
shop, a copy of which was inserted
in your issue OF the 10th inst. This
was done without my knowledge
aud with the addition OF an explain
atory footnote which certainly does
not connect me with ot. Andrews,
though it appears to have aroused
the Judges ire.
Since, therefore, his would-be
caustic remarks were based upon an
evidently erroneous understanding
OF the actual facts, further comment
thereon appears to be unnecessary.
| trust, however, that il he is par
ticularly anxious to air his undoubt-
ed eloquence upon some more fav.
orable occasion, the learned Judge
may determine upon some other
victim. L. de l.. WARD.

AT one time great efforts were
made here in stirring up sympathy
for the ill-treated Armenians, the
poor people who suffered martyrdom
because they we're Christians. Sub.
scriptions were asked for and the
papers filled with letters ennumerat-
ing the terrible atrocities committed
on these faithful Christians. Now
is the time to do little practical
good and at the same time help the
planting interests along. Last
month the Czar OF Russia is
sued an ukase ordering $4,000 Arme-
mans to leave his domains. He has
done more in notifying the Sultan
that the people must return at once
to Turkey The Sultan who has
wholesome fear of his hereditary
enemy answered the Czar that he
willingly will pay all the expenses
connected with deporting the Arme-
mans from Russia, il his beloved
brother, the white Czar will only find
some other place (Sheol preferrable)
than his Sultanic domains.

1t has now been decided that the
$4,000 Armenians will be sent to
Crete at the expense OF Turkey. II
labor is needed here very badly why
not negotiate with Gear and Sultan
and get 5000 Armenians sent to Ha-
waii for our plantations. They must
be good people, at least we were
told so when the shat" was passed
around, aud what a splendid chance
for trip for some fayorite son of

made OF three plain strips Of roughly

Moths and Flies.

The only way to battle moths and
buffalo bugs is to leave them nothing
to eat But naptha is death If it comes
in contact with them. This must be
carefully used. The rooms must be
well ventilated after it has been
sprinkled from the can. Use literally.
To rid the house of flies have a win
dow garden Of geraniums and calceo-
larias, and the flies will not trouble
gou.
The use of plenty OF salt is a good
preventive for moths.
Here is a preventive for moths
which is also a good sachet Take one
ounce of tonquin beans, carraway
seed, cloves. mace and cinnamon, well
ground; add six ounces OF fiorentine
Drris root; mix we'll and put In bags
among your clothes.
Pennyroyal is the best safeguard
against moths.
Turpentine put very plentifully about
the edge of carpets will keep away
moths.

or course, you know all about it,
but don't forget when the time comes
to take your hard-boiled eggs to the
picnic resting in a bed OF crisp lettuce

yolks of the eggs, powdered them fine,
and mixed them with little mayor

the mixture. and then replace it and
put the egg together. Or. IL you do
not care for your eggs in this form,

In a healthy condition the hair will not

The hair in a healthy scalp grows
at least eight or ten inches a year. 1t
grows faster in summer than In win

and shrink in dry weather, which &C

In Gods Strong Arms.

D. L. Moody recently told this inter
esting incident in one OF his meetings:
Said a father: "My-little girl to-day
refused to let me take hold Of her
hand when we were walking together.
She though she could go alone But
when we came to a place which was
slippery, she took hold first of my little
finger, and then, as it grew more icy,
of my whole hand. AS we went on,
and it was growing worse, she let go
entirely, and said Papa, take hold Of
me- She knew l was strong. and that
she could not fall unless ] fell. Now, :"
said he, Il have been slipping slipping
for the last eleven years, and the rea-
son is that I have not put my hand in
to the hand of God. have been trying
to take hold of Him, but not asking
Him to take hold of me. AS long as
He has hold Of my hand / can't fall.
He would have to be dethroned first.
If our hands are placed in His whose
throne is in heaven, we never can fall
down into hell"
