EXAMINE BEFORE YOU BUY,

When in a grocer's store you stand
And cakes of Ivory Soap demand,
Be careful not to be mislead
And limitations take instead.
For dealers oft will praises sing
OF that which may more profit bring.

Twill vanish like the darkest stain,

HEW TO THE LINE.

A new centre of plague infection has
shown itself. This time it is at the
Hotel Stables, on the corner of Rich
ards and Hotel streets.
The Japanese who died at the corner
of Nuuanu and Kukui streets on the
night of January 21st, moved there on
the goth from the Hotel Stables, where
he worked and slept. He was sick
when he moved. The house in, which
he died was burned. The stable where
he was taken sick was "disinfected,"
and continued to do business.
On Thursday last a second man
working at the Hotel Stables was TAX
en- sick, and on Sunday night he also
died of the plague.
When the Japanese above mentioned
died, his fellow Japanese laborers were
segregated, but the stable was not
quarantined. Yesterday the Asiatic
employees of the stable were quaran-
tined, but the stable was not, and it is
still open for business.
The Board of Health examined the
stable yesterday afternoon and ad-
journed without action, to meet again
this afternoon.
Dr. Wood has furnished the slogan
of the campaign against the plague. 1t
is that locality" far more than per-
sonal contact, is the distributor of in
lection.
The Pantheon Stable was a whole
sermon on the locality text. A case
originated there. The house on Wyl-
lie street, where the victim spent few
hours, was burned. The stable was
"disinfected" and remained open for
business. Two weeks or so later Hart
mann and the South street Japanese,
both employees of the Pantheon, were
taken with plague.
The announced policy of the Board is
to burn every building in which a
plague case has originated or been To-
Gated for any length of time, unless the
building is of such a character that it
can be absolutely cleanse1.
In pursuance with the broader pre-
cautionary policy that adjacent build
ings which were of such general con-
struction that they would readily be-
come refugees for rats. are plague CEN
ters, they also have been condemned
and burned.
The Hotel Stables has been the place
of origin of two cases of plague; both
fatal. They are open, rambling sheds,
impossible of disinfection. Rats infest
every stable of this character.
1t is to be hoped that it will not be
necessary to wait for three victims be-
fore action is taken.
We ask, and the Sanitary Commit
tee asks, that the Board, having lait
down it's principles, shall hew to the
line.

FILTH THE MENACE.

DR.. Woods statement that plague
may linger with us for year, appear
ing in sporadic cases, is based upon
the presence of filth in the soil. We
are face to face with the distressing
circumstance that the ground upon
which Honolulu is built is polluted.
People have lived here for a great
while, possibly for over a thousand
years, and the dead under foot are le-
gion. We are crowding our modern
burial grounds with bodies, some of
which. as in the lower part of the King
street cemetery, are said to rest in wa
ter which drains into the inhabited
marshes beyond. But the chief source
OF infection is the excreta which has
been so long piling up in some thou
sands of cesspools and saturating the
earth under and near houses where
people live.
1t is appalling to think how vast this
factor of insanitation is, both in bulk
and power of mischief. For years filth
has been gathering here at the rate of
from fifteen to twenty tons a day. The
excavators. two in number, have not
begun to keep even with it. We doubt.
/ from all we hear and see, that they
have half tried. The agent of the
/ Board of Health says they carry four
tons each and are capable of from six
to eight trips per day. If their services
had worked out that way we might
now have no plague, but the condition
OF Chinatown, and of Honolulu gener-
ally, shows that the achievements of
the excavators were quite as much of
a delusion in the three or four years
preceding the coming of the black
death as were most of the other activi-
ties of the old Board of Health.
We are getting more excavators now
and an aroused public sentiment and
a vigilant press may be depended on
to see that they do their duty. What
Honolulu needs is a system by which
every cesspool in town will be emptie(
kept up until, by the construction o
sewers, the use of cesspools may b.
i prohibited by law. If we are right!
informed there are now four excava
) tors at work or one for every ten thou
/ sand people. Four more are coming
} and there will then be one for ever
e five thousand people. We believe. un
der a perfect organization, that Their
B. should be one excavator to every l 90
S people, and a careful districting of tn
}, city that they serve. Certainly. eigh
i exeavators are not enough if any i'm
n preston is to be made on the filth al
ready underground.
). No matter what the process ma
s cost, Honolulu ought to purify its so
1t as much and as soon as possible. Tree
y and shrubs do something to that en-
and rain-water, driving impurities in

ssRussIan Whist,

1t will be interesting to see, as an
Eastern paper suggests, whether we
shall follow the example of our trans
Atlantic cousins in the mania for
bridge" or Russian whist" which is
now all the rage in London, and in
many card circles has made whist as
obsolete as Boston" It is sort of
dummy whist. Different suits of cards
give different values to the tricks, the
red suit, for example, being more val
liable than the black. The dealer does
not turn up trump card, but has the
privilege of making any suit he
pleases trumps, or may declare no
trumps, which increases the value of
the tricks. This value also may be
doubled again and again by the holders
of good hands, so that it is a game of
uncertainties. The best authorities
use the American leads, which are
rather dropping out of use in English
whist.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Fall of a Great Temple.


1t is just about a year ago that at
tention was directed to the splendid
success that was attending the efforts
of the Egyptian Government to re-
store the great temple of Karnak, at
Luxor, to somewhat of it's ancient
glory. The Department of Antiquities
was engaged all the year on digging
out and strengthening the enormous
columns of the great hypostyle hall.
All was going on well and the sublime
proportions of the great hall were be-
ing made clear, when, recently, one of
the great columns, which are about
seventy-one feet high, and weigh
many tons, fell over against another
in such way as to over throw ten
other columns, all piling up against
each other like fallen bricks in a row.
At the same time the great stone ar
chitraves fell down, released from all
support, and the ruin was so lament
able that those who were carrying on
the work were clear disheartened.
A survey has now taken place, and
| it is calculated that the mischief can
be remedied in part, and the temple
saved from the worst, at a cost of $780,
600. Just what caused the disaster is
not known.

The closing Of Oahu College is work
ing a hardship to a number of young
people who had hoped to prepare for
entrance at Mainland universities next
year. Considering who the Oahu stu
dents are and where they come from
and the fact that the classrooms are
not crowded, it might be practicable
to exempt the college from the rule
closing the public schools. We doubt
that harm would be done by this con-
cession.

Pigs Milk in Favor.

Nine. Roydue, described as Breton
peasant woman, announces the discov-
cry that pigs milk used instead of the
milk of the cow for babies will trans
form the French race into a nation of
physical giants. What moral and
mental effect the new diet will have
does not seem to have been considered.
and Paris is said to be more or less en-
thusiastic for trying it. Several medi-
cal specialists indorse the idea and
say that pigs milk is light and fatten-

The cemetery question may as well
be revived now that sanitary reform is
the uppermost topic. Local burial
grounds are crowded and one of the
first remedial measures taken should
be to forbid further interments in them
save perhaps in family plots not yet
fully occupied. Honolulu needs a new
cemetery several miles from Fort street
in some locality not likely to feel the
effects of urban growth for many years
hence. An objection to the move has
come from poor people who cannot af-
ford to go on long expeditions with
their dead at the present rate Of hearse
and carriage hire. One way to obviate
this difficulty would be for the Rapid
Transit company to locate big grave
yard at one end of its system and put
on funeral car which would be hired
for the transportation of body and
forty or fifty people with 1t at an ex-
pense of say $40. The sale of lots
would pay for keeping up the cemetery
and yield an interest on the investment
That is the way the San Mateo electric
and other street lines have solved the
problem In San Francisco, where the
funeral car Is now regarded as a great
public convenience and economy.
