SECRETS OF WOOD STAINING.

Before giving specific directions for
the benefit Of the amateur, II may be
as well TO suggest some articles on
which his or her energy may be ex-
pended. Ordinary pine tables. when one
can afford to buy nothing more costly
and which in certain summer houses
and studios are as good as anything
else, may be oiled or stained and made
altogether charming. They can be
made TO look like black oak, and II one
Is skillful with the hot iron a design
may be made to follow the edge.
Pure ammonia, powerful liquid, and
one to be carefully used, is the first
application made TO woods. Manutac-
turers and many special workmen APP
ply this by means Of a yap0r-bath IL
which the wood is subjected. But In
many wood-carving institutions the
ammonia Is merely applied with a
brush. and the results are found TO be
quite as satisfactory. II Is just as
well. by -the-way, to wear rubber gloves
while one Is doing this work. The am
monia darkens the wood. and when II Is
remembered that forty years are re-
quired TO bring about the same tones
when wood Is left TO time. its value To-
day may well be established. Several
coats are 10 be applied with the brush
An ordinary two-inch paint-brush IL
used.
After the ammonia has been used the
stain is applied. The ordinary wooden
backed nail-brush has been by all au-
thorities pronounced the best. After
the stain has been applied, shellac In
many instances, especially on oak, Is
applied but this Is rubbed down care
fully when dry with pumice-stone and
oil. Beeswax and turpentine are used
to give further polish -Harpers Ba-

B0ER PREACHER
Tells Of the Battle Of Elandslaagte,
Which He Saw From Afar.


Rev. Mr.. Martens, a Boer divine, llv-

the battle OF Elandslaagte, and gives
the following graphic description:
AT about o'clock we heard shooting,
and | said 10 Rev. Mr.. Mel. who was
with me, Let us go up on the hill and
watch the battle We went together on
one Of the front hills occupied largely
by our burghers, and shortly afterward
Rev. Mr.. Mel turned to me and said:

fired.

Special Correspondence,
Berlin, March /, l900-The Royal
opera house was the scene last Satur-
day evening Of the first performance OF
Gain and Abel" d'Albert's new opera
The house was sold out early, and the
audience assembled was one entirely In
sympathy with the eminent artists
creation. At the close Of the opera,
which is in one act, d'Albert was called
before the curtain several times and
given an ovation. The libretto stays
closely by the story, as told In the Bible
and Is intensely dramatic, especially
where Abel, after strewing flowers on
the altar and lighting the fire under
his Offering TO the God OF Heaven, Is
told by his brother Cain to put out the
fire. and when Cain, with huge club,
destroys the altar, and turns upon
Abel and Stays him, 1t grows intensely
exciting. The unseen voices, that make
life nearly unbearabe for the first muir
derer, after he has committed his deed,
make the greatest dramatic climax Of
the opera. CAIN CANT" CAIN"
comes from every part of the stage in
varied tones and infections, and In such
weird profusion that one Is dazed with
the dread OF crime, and It's sure and
terrible punishment. Madam Refine was

drumming played Abel In his accus-
toned fine way Hoffman was at home
In Gains part Wittekopf played the

splendid and much IN Wagner's style.
Yet d'Albert Is that great that he does
not have TO borrow IDEAS from anyone.
His Instrumentation Is verify superb. In
fact have heard but few operas that
are more effectively scored; OF course
Wagner must not be considered now.

THE NEW STEAMSHIP linz
FOUR BIG VESSELS COMING TO
HONOLULU.
American Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany, With Captain w. d. Burnham
AS Manager-Two Months Service.

SAN DIEGO, January 1S.-A letter
received here from former San
Diegan now in honolulu contains an
inter view with Captain w. d. Burnham
of New York, manager of the Ameri-
can Hawaiian Steamship Company,
which is to operate the four large
freight-carriers. California, Hawaiian,
american and OregOnian, between New
York, San Francisco, Honolulu and
some southern port IN this State. The
Captain said:
Our company has bright prospects
1t is backed financially by New York.
San Francisco and Hawaiian capitalists
and is sufficiently strong to make a sue
cess of it's undertaking. The company
will begin with four steamers, each of
5000 gross tonnage, or an approximate
net tonnage of $500. The Californian
will be the first to call here, coming
from San Francisco. She will be fol-
lowed two months later by the Ameri-
can, from New York and by the Ha-
waiian and Oregonian in the order
named, at intervals of about two
months.
We will arrange the schedule so that
the steamers will leave Honolulu during
the sugar season, and be coming out
this way from New York in the off
season. The only ports at which the
steamers will touch are New York, San
Francisco, Honolulu and probably San
Diego. When l return to the coast it
is my intention to visit the latter port
and endeaVor to arrange for calling
there but as yet it is undecided
whether our Southern California port
will be San Diego or Santa Monica. But
we shall call there only on the outward
trip from New York.
The steamers will touch regularly at
Cornell, Chile, for coaling purposes All
of the four vessels are to be exception
ally we'll supplied with coal each hav-
ing bunkers of 1,S00 tons capacity
enough to carry a steamer thousands
of miles, There will be no passenger
Accommodations even between San Fran
cisco and Honolulu, and no mail will
be carried, In fact, the speed of the
steamers-about 1917 knots-will be
hardly sufficient to warrant us in try
ing for mail subsidy. The vessels
are altogether freighters, of large capa-
city and will no doubt have all they
can do.

TROUBLE FORECAsTED.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.-The snip
Cyrus Wakefield, now on her way 70
Honolulu, is likely to have trouble with
her crew in the islands. She has over
1000 tons of general cargo aboard, and
there will be some hard work in dis
charging it. Then she is to load sugar
for New York, and there will be more
labor getting it aboard. That being the
case, there is likely to be a few deser-
tons before the vessel is ready to sail
for New York

MEMORANDA.

The hospital ship Missouri finished
coaling at about three o'clock this
morning and left for San Francisco.
The Maui came in this morning from
Hawaii. Captain Weisbarth was on
deck all right. The steamer had d
heavy load, bringing 1000 bags or
Paauhau sugar. She went alongside
the Transit to discharge into the lat
ter.
The gasoline schooner Surprise made
a very good record for time on her first
trip to Hawaii. The schooner Golden
Gate, which came in this morning from
Molokai also made good time, having
left here only last Tuesday.
