like every other baby Of the same
age. He nevertheless considered
this effort to distinguish in the
face of the child a resemblance to
its parents, an evidence of the
popular belief in heredity and that
like produces like. Professor
[Shepperd stated two principles as
generally apply to heredity and
governing it, viz: l.. That like
produces like. 2. That like pro-
duces unlike. This, he said,
might sound like a contradiction
but it was not, for like. tends to
produce resemblance but; it also
produces difference, and it is by
taking advantage of these two
principles that improvement is
brought about.
In breeding, the speaker as
serted, all depends upon the ability
to select, and proper selection,
after q time, causes the character
Iistics it is desired to maintain to
become fixed and stand out pro-
minently, thus eliminating the
principle that like produces un-
like.
| As regards the crossing of
breeds, the professor did not speak
favorably. By way of illustrating
this point he referred to the his
tory of the Jersey and the Holstein
in which efforts to cross had pro-
we'd futile because heredity in each
was too strong to influence. In
each case it produced a resistance
and some of the offspring would
be pretty good Jerseys, some pretty
good Holsteins, and some neither.
However, if the purpose was
merely to raise an animal for the
block, crossing was all right.
\ Some would endeavor to dis
suade from the idea that heredity
is important, Professor Shepperd
said. by arguing that feed is of the
most consequence. This conten-
tion was easily disposed of, how
ever. Simply ask the man sup
porting it how to SO feed a Persian
colt as to produce a 2:30 roadster,
or how to- SO feed a greyhound as
to produce a bird setter.
When it comes to applying the
principle Of heredity to grain, the
professors idea is that care should
be taken in the selection Of the
seed. Simply plant the finest
grains or kernels. The result
might not manifest itself the first
year but would become plainly ap.
parent in time, if the rule were ad.
hered to. The selection should be
made by the fanning-mill.

HEALTH BOARD
Poi Shops are to Have

Edwards Plumbing Suggestions--Ap
plication for Job Of Inspector.
Other Items of Interest.

1t was late yesterday afternoon when
the Board of Health met; some of the
members had forgotten even that there
was to be ameeting; the plague is get
ting to be thing OF the past and the
urgent necessity of attending the DELHI
erations of the Board Is now consid-
erably modified. DIR. Wood was in the
chair about half past three o'clock anu
DR.. Emerson and Messrs. Smith and
Lowrey were on hand, constituting the
quorum. A pile of correspondence lay
on the table before the president who
had not had time to arrange 1t In any
particular order. First he took up let
ter from +. b. Edwards in relation to
plumbing, addressed to the executive
officer of the Board, as follows:
Edwards on Plumbing.
In REGARD to the making of rules to
be observed by plumbers In connecting
buildings with sewers, about which you
spoke to me on Saturday; knowing that
rules would be necessary, some time
ago, wrote to Mr.. Herring asking II he
had any rules that would apply 10 these
Islands. He answered that the condi-
tons In Honolulu are different from
those In the United States and 1t might
be necessary to get up some special
regulations and that he would take the
matter up shortly. In letter received
from him on Saturday. he says he hopes
in his next letter to have something to
say about plumbing regulations.
Mr.. Herring knows the local condi-
lions and from his worldwide exper-
fence / know he will be able TO suggest
better and safer rules than l can COM
pile.
Under these conditions I would re-
quest a short delay before adopting
complete plumbing regulations. That
the work may not be delayed / make
the following suggestions which feel
confident will be approved by Mr.. Her
ing and will enable the plumbers to
order needed material.
Size OF house drains to be not less
than four inches In diameter and not
over six inches In diameter.
No trap on main drain. but pipe car
ried full size through the roof. Changes
In direction of soil and drain pipes to

be made with Us and n bends. SAM
tary rs may be used on vertical runs.
All fixtures to be trapped and traps
vented.
All water closets to be flushed from
tanks.
Pan closets, Philadelphia hopper
closets and plunger closets not to be
used except short hopper closets may
be used in isolated out buildings.
Cast iron pipe to have the name OF
maker upon 1t and mark to indicate
Its weight. 1t is to be covered inside
and outside with coating of asphalt
or tar and when used in buildings over
one-story in height, Is not to weigh less
than the following per lineal foot:
two inches diameter, five lbs; three
inches, nine lbs; four inches, twelve
lbs; five inches, sixteen lbs; six
inches, nineteen lbs.
Under buildings every soil and drain
pipe shall be OF cast iron or galvanized
iron pipe. Waste pipes may be of cast
iron, galvanized iron or of lead. When
leads used II shall be only as branches
to connect with cast iron or galvanized
iron pipe.
DR.. Wood thought IL the plumbers
were going to order a great quantity
OF material that they ought to be pro-
tected by the adoption OF the foregoing
report or the adoption of some similar
temporary regulations. The report was
laid on the table upon motion of G.. w.
Smith.
Plumbing Inspector.

ran a communication from Minister
Young. ''for the position of Plumbing
Inspector, Honolulu. l have made

Mr.. Lowrey suggested that some

pay such an officer would be available.

A STUBBORN DUCHESS.
She Had Her Husband the Duke Argyle Buried Secretly
Just to Spite the Queen

1t Is q long time since Queen Victoria
has been SO huttered as by the extraordfn-
ary proceedings Of the dowaser duchess Of
Argyle. That lady was Miss MacNeill, one
OF the queens maids of honor, handsome
woman and strong wfIled. The queen stead-
lastly opposed her marriage with the late
duke at the patriarchal age Of Il, but Miss
MacNefH treated the royal Will with dis
dam. In this the queen, Of course, rep
resented the feelings Of the marquis of
Lorne and Princess Louise. who never spoke
to the dukes third wife frona the time
she announced her determination to marry
her father-in-law.
When the duke died, the Duchess Ina, as
she Is called, evidently thought that now
OF never was the time for wiping out old
scores. The story Of the long and appar-
emily inexplicably deferred funeral Of the
old duke il one of the strangest chapters in
recent aristocratic history. and it has not
hitherto been told.
Scarcely was the breath out of the duke g
body when the marquis of Lorne and his
sisters. who had been summoned to their
fathers deathbed, left the castle posthaste.
The marquis named an early date as the
probable one for the interment. But he
had reckoned without his stepmother, to
whom had been left the entire control of
the funeral arrangements.
Determined to make the most of her ad-
vantage, the irate lady not only declined
marquis, but absolutely refused to fix any
day for the ceremony at all. Day after
day the family waited at Roseneath-the
marquis of Lorne's residence on the estate
in the vain expectation of the invitation
which never came. Messenger after mes
senger was sent, reporters flocked to In
verary castle, unoflcial inquiries came from
Balmoral, always to receive the same an
swer, The bereaved duchess was too pros
trate with grief to come to any decision
It Is now nearly three weeks since the
old gentleman's death. Every day brought
fresh battalions of tenants-Highlanders
and Lowlanders. crofters and clansmen-all
eager to pay their last respects to the chief
tian who had lorded 1t over them for more
than so years. Their gray tartan costumes,
combined with the inspiring strains of the
bagpipes, lent an unusual air Of festivity
to the grim old castle, despite the fact that
the black galley Of Lorne" still ioated
from the topmast tower in token of mourn
ing.
It was getting past Joke. The Prfn-
cess Louise appealed to the queen. Next
day down came royal servant, the bearer
Of an autograph letter from her majesty
for the widow Of Argyle. In sympathetic
terms her majesty requested to be informed
as to the arrangements made for the
obsequies, and trusted the last wishes of
the late duke would be carried out In every
particular.
This time the bereaved duchess was fairly

II the present condition Of our poll
tics be such that our women, In doing
political duty are necessarily In danger
of unsexing themselves. and OF losing
their sense Of delicacy, then the duty
of the hour is not to prohibit women
from exercising their political rights;
the duty of the hour is to take out OF
politics the things which would unsex
and which would destroy the fine sense
of womanly delicacy. The very ques-
tion admits that women are good and
right and pure, but that politics are
wrong and bad and corrupt. The very
question admits that politics need, for
their regeneration, the very elements
which women alone can contribute.
The objection couched in the question
is tantamount to this: Would you
bring women down to the level Of
men," This is rough on men.
Who will corrupt the women when
they go to the caucus and to the polls?
sons, and their brothers be the guilty
parties! These are the men who go to
the polls. VIII the men whom our
women meet in the churches be the
guilty parties? These are the men who
are in the caucus, or, II not there,
. should be there.
The objection couched In the Ques-
tion is a slander upon American man
hood, than which there Is no finer type
Of manhood on the face of the earth.
Besides this, If there were a single
masculine biped mean enough or low
enough to insult any woman while In
the discharge of her political duties
on election day, there Is moral senti-
ment sufficient in every polling district
of the republic to put that man behind
the bars instanter.

On the strength of a quiet little tip that

on a single race at the Derby p0olrUoms

the odds put up by the local bookmakers

Italians were on to the good thing and
there were three or four horses in the
race that had preference In the betting.
