For the Women Readers.

Many of the women readers of
this article have probably been
told many times by their husbands
if they have one, that he was kept
out at night owing to being com
PEELED to attend a special meeting
of his lodge. The ladies' should
not believe statements Of this
kind. The lodges all have regu-
lar meeting nights and special
meetings are rare indeed. The
other night Knute Hellson arrived
home at late hour and fate
tempted him to talk in his sleep.
He said many things that were
difficult for him to explain 10 his
wife the next day, but she, con-
fdIng as women usually are, was
apparently satisfied with all his
explanations.
AS he sat down to the break
fast table his wife. Hulds, began
to PROFOUND certain interrogatories
that displeased him at first, but
he finally reasoned that he had
better answer as best he could.
"Where were you last night" "
she asked in a before breakfast
tone of voice.

Big Stakes On a Sailing Race

or two ago, II noticed numerous
groups of sailor men engaged in ami
mated discussions, and from word

the American clipper st. Frances, from
Delaware Breakwater for San Fran

ported spoken of Chile, carrying every
strip of canvas she possessed, even 10
double skysails, and bowling along
like a steam yacht and with lee rail
under water. II seemed that this yes
sci. a Bath built wooden clipper OF
$500 tons, and the iron Wilmington
built ship, Tillie Starbuck, had started
simultaneously for the same port. and
the admirers of each had wagered Sl5,-
600 on the race. and later the bets
had been increased to $4,000. The
/ fact that the St. Frances had been spo-
ken renewed interest IN the excite

Dr.. Hutchinson Of HiIo Makes Few
Observations During a Trip
To Japan.

DR.. +. l.. Hutchinson Of Hilo, who is
well known in Honolulu, was a re-
turning passenger on the steamer
China from Yokohama. He went to
Japan two months ago with the inten-
ton of remaining all winter, but was
taken i'll and decided to return to Ha-
wall He had to be carried on board
the China at Yokohama, but has since
almost recovered, the fine sea trip
proving very beneficial to him. He
expects to remain in Honolulu for
some weeks.
DR.. Hutchinson told a representa-
tive of the Advertiser last night that
the reports published in the press con-
corning the plague in Japan we're
grossly exaggerated. Instead of 1000
cases in Kobe. as reported, he says
/ there were only twenty, and there were
only six cases at Osaka, all of them IA
I tai. The Japanese authorities were
making strenuous efforts to cleanse
/ the principal cities, said DIR. Hutchin-
/ son, every house having been ordered
/ thoroughly cleaned out. As a result
/ the streets were so filed with rubbish
] Nlldl - AlIh0ndW NOulu uilNlg pass
along the thoroughfares. Honolulu is
a clean city, compared with the Jap
hnese centers of population.
The Japanese consider that rats are
in large measure responsible for the
spread of the plague, and a liberal
bounty is paid for the rodents. In
many of the infected houses-all oil
them, in fact-dead rats were found
and i'm their carcasses the germ of bu-
bonic plague was swarming. Rats are
killed by the plague in large numbers
/ think the action of the japanese in
paying a bounty for rats should be fol
lowed here.
"SOOn after the plague appeared in
Kobe the physicians procured a sup.
ply of serum from Paris and India, anC
experiments have shown its efficacy T.
a most satisfactory degree. only about
80 per cent of the patients inoculateC
having died. The cases were not in
the large cities. White people in ia

HoNGKoNG RATCATcHING.
A Plague Safeguard That Does Not
Work Out Well.

We have not much faith In the SAM
tary Board as rat-catchers. The theory
that plague is chiefly or largely prop
agated by rats, and that the desrue-
ton of these vermin would remove or
diminish the risk OF the disease ap-
bearing in epidemic form, is supper cd
by competent authorities. and II u
were possible TO eX-erminate the Tats
IL would be worth while going 10 con
siderable expenditure TO accomplish 81
that object. Trapping, however. VIII

ton. Two characteristics OF the rat
are its cunning which renders it DIM

Vast numbers OF rats must nave Oeeh

BACTERIA DEsTRoYERs.
How c, ain Microbes Can be Made
TO Neutralize Others.

Modern scientific research has dis
closed many new dangers 70 human life
in the discovery of minute organisms
that prey upon man, but which are so
small that only by the aid of the mi
croscope can their presence be detect
ed. Almost everybody has been as
tOnished when examining a drop OF ap-
parently pure water TO see the great
number of rapidly moving animaiCulae
with which it is filled. It Is quite like
ly that where malarial diseases abound
the boiling of the water in which coffee
and tea are stepped makes these drinks
less dangerous than the pure water
from wells, which may be, and often
are, filed with baleful germs. Where
fever and ague abound, as is usual in
newly settled countries, the strongest
coffee made from water which has been
boiled is used without either sugar or
milk as a preferable drink to water.
There is not much doubt that coffee it
self acts as a germ destroyer. as brown
ed coffee beans are much used by many
to prevent taking the fever, and are
reported to be effective for the purpose.
But scientists have learned that
there are bacteria themselves harmless
which are so voracious and can be
made to increase so rapidly that they
serve as bacteria destroyers. y few
years ago all the sewage OF London,
Birmingham. Manchester and other
great English cities became so hard to
dispose of that various eXpedients were
resorted to as means of getting rid OF
it. Great crematories were established
in which IL was burned. In other pl1-
ces the sewage was taken to fdrmlands
and used as a fertilizer. But il has been
found that by securing properly bred
bacteria this sewage may be entirely
disinfected, and the water made not
only clear, but entirely free from any
/ injurious germs. II is worth trying &c
see IL these bacteria destrOyers can bt
used to free reservoirs and wells OF The
