The legislative bodies Of Brazil and
Japan present a rather striking con-
trast in their policies toward the move
ment for the freedom of women. I The
senate Of Brazil has under consldera-
ton q bill to authorize women to prac-
tice the learned professions, and the
japanese parliament has just passed
new press law which prohibits wom-
en- from becoming publishers or editors
on the ground that "the discharge Of
such work by females is neither becom-
ing nor desirable"

Eating and Weight.

It has been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
lighter after a meal, and they have
even gone the length Of explaining this
by the amount of gas that is developed
from the food. Average observations,
however, show that we lose three
pounds and six ounces between night
and morning; that we gain one pound
and twelve ounces by breakfast; that
we again lose about IA ounces before
lunch; that lunch puts on an average
of one pound; that we again lose dur
ing the afternoon an average OF 10
ounces; but that an ordinary dinner
to healthy persons adds two pounds
and two ounces to their weight.

No "Brlnrn PIpes.

The briar pipe is not made of briar'
wood at all. The word "briar" is a
corruption of the French word "bruy-
ere," meaning heath" and the wood
used is really that Of the heather.
When these pipes were introduced into
this country the tradesmen found that
the French word was rather too diff
cult for the ordinary smoker to get
hold Of, and they soon twisted 1t into
the familiar briar. The supply Of this
weed from France is now almost ex-
hausted, and is only found in any
quantity in the Alpes Maritimes.

Various Propositions.

One proposition had already been adj
vanced to extend the alleyway SYSTEM
from King street through to Kukui
street in all the blocks from Nuuanu
to River streets. Some OF the property
owners strenuously objected to such
plan being carried out, as it divided
the block into such small rectangular
strips as to cause the business loss of
much valuable frontage on King street.
If the alleyways were to be opened it
would be much more feasible to cut
them through in the opposite direction.
Chaplain lane was suggested as pas
sage way which should be widened and
extended to River street. Block Is
| should so have street parallel with
! Beretania street running through to
| River street, with SmiL- and Mauna-
| kea extending to Kukui street. Pau
! ahi street, under another name, was
also suggested; to be extended through
to Hotel street and ending at the Maso-
mic Temple corner, although such a
proposition is not looked upon as en-
tirely feasible. One gentleman suggest
ed that Chinatown be looked upon as
one large block, and that it be sub
divided at regular intervals without
any reference whatever to its former
street lines.
Mr.. Hatch, inviting the gentlemen
present at the meeting to talk freely
upon the matter, moved that they be
asked to speak upOn the advisability
of carrying out the plans as already
placed on the Board of Health maps

Board. The Board was composed OF

Chinatown Alleyway Proposition.
The purpose of the meeting was to
bring out the suggestions of property
owners and others interested in the
burned Chinatown district relative to
the extension of streets through some
of the blocks, and in others the open
ing of alleyways. The Board had been
called upon by the Cabinet to make its
recommendations to the Executive in
the matter and was already in favor of
making the extensions of streets
through the large blocks as before
mapped out. AS to the alleyways, the
board felt 1t was question upon which
all interested in the district should
have an opportunity of expressing
opinions upon the future construction
of me district.
In the meeting yesterday afternoon
a diverse set of views upon the subject
were given; the main points considered
being whether or not there should BIZ
=. narrow alleyways cut through the
blocks in question, or streets made
which would be available for business
frontages upon the new thoroughfares
There were objections to narrow alley
ways on account of the possibilitie
arising which might cause them to be
7 come nuisances and the harbingers o
- such population as Pauahi street ha
hitherto possessed, and therefore,
was argued, the alleyways would ten
= more to increase the insanitary and i'm
moral conditions than to decreas
them. The narrow alleyways, it wa
also pointed out, would De tne mean
a Of attracting many more people in
, lesser space than there were in tn
block before the fire swept it away.
From a business point of view,
was suggested that if alleyways are
be opened up, they should be of sue
a width as to permit the passing I
In two vehicles, and having the widt

The Sanitary Sta ndpoint.

Minister Mott-Smith: Il think the
sole question at issue is to be looked
at from health standpoint The ques-
ton is whether the narrow alley with
houses fronting on it is, from a sani-
tary standpoint, better than the wider
alley. My opinion is that the wider
alley is the better The narrower al
ley, with asphaltum, does not permit
the sunlight to enter. l believe, how
ever, that a wider street is very much
better, even without the asphaltum.
believe these passageways will be used
solely as places of ingress and egress.
1 think the wider alley is much more
! practical
Mr.. Dodge: at seems that Kekau-
| like street might be extended right
through to Kukui street. | would also
suggest the widening Of Chaplain lane
and extending it through Blocks 10
and g."
j. A. McCandless: Il would make a
suggestion that before any building is
allowed in Chinatown there should be
an alley every 200 feet. 1 would allow
no lean-tos in the whole district.
think it would be a good policy for
the Board of Health to prevent any
buildings going up there until the Leg
islature could extend the fire limits.
great many people believe that the
plague did not come from other coun.
tries to us, but that it originated right
there in Chinatown's filth. Since the
1000 people have been taken out there
have but two cases broken out among
fhnOo Tharpforp 7 think the ROarC
should prevent further building ther'
for some time to come. Let the Boar'
say, Before you can build you viii
certainly have to cut those alleyway
through Make the landlords pay 70
those alleyways before they are al
lowed to build there again.
