NOTICE To SHIPPERS.

In the matter of disnfection or fumi-
cation Of freight, shippers will make no
distinctions between that destined for
points on the Island of oahu and that
destined to points on other islands.
The original cases must be opened
and the straw or loose paper wrapper
or sawdust or other packing material
removed from each bottle or tin, each
bottle or tin is then to be dipped in an
approved disinfecting solution; the in
terror of the original case is then to be
washed out with disinfectant; in re-
hacking the already disinfected bottle
or tin no wrapper may be used unless
same has first been fumigated or dis
infected; the filled case is to be closed
ND and the entire exterior is to be dis
infected.
In cases where the timed or bottled
goods have no loose paper or straw
wrapping, or where they are not packed
in saw dust or any similar substance
the entire original package, after two
or more large openings have been made
in it, may be dipped in a disenfecting
solution; but great care must be eX-
ercised to ensure the thorough olsen
lection of each tin or bottle and the
whole interior of the original package
as we'll as the whole exterior surface Of
such original package.
Shippers having the interests of the
entire island community at heart will
exercise very cheerfully every precau-
tion and assist rather than impede the
efforts of the Board of Health in pre-
venting a further spread of bubonic
plague in these Hawaiian Islands.
Willful infringement or careless dis
regard of these or other regulations OF
the Board of Health on the part Of
shippers will be followed by the imme-
date withdrawal of privilege of ship
ment of any goods whatever by those
engaging in such infringement or care

LIQUOR SALES FALL OFF.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-An inquiry
at the bureau of statistics shows that
there has been a large falling off in
the amount of liquor shipped to the
Philippine islands since the American
occupation. During the last year the
total was 1928 gallon of wines, 1925
of whisky, and 1894 dozen bottles of
beer which is about one-fifth the aver
age amount exported during the last
ten years of the Spanish occupation.
Therefore, if it is true, as Chaplain
Wells asserted in his speech last night
that more than 300 liquor firms in the
United States have sent representatives
to the Philippines, they have scarcely
sold enough to pay their steamship
fare.

Charley Thorpe, the veteran Cali
fornia jockey. rode Yellow Tail in the
inaugural race at st. Louis. Thorpe
says there is no doubt this will be his
last season on the turf. He has quit
the employ of Burns & Warehouse,
and during the coming season will ride
exclusively on Chicago tracks, taxing
such mounts as he thinks are about
the best in the race. He will be a
free lance. He says he is too old now
to ride promiscuously as younger men
can, and. besides, feels more indepen-
dent, as he has more than comforta-
BILE fortune. which will keep him the
rest of his days without work. He
plans to open cafe in San Francisco
after the close of the present season.

piled: you are probably going to

A Modern Translat ion.

A young French woman here in
town is teaching the rudiments Of her
native language to a class of women
far past the school age. They have ad-
vanced so far that now they are read
ing the New Testament in French.
They haven't read much Of it, and at
the last lesson 1t was Mrs, Blanks
turn to read that beautiful verse
which in the English version begins
I'm my Fathers house are many man
sions." Mrs. Blank read 1t over in her
best accent, 1t ends, in the French, l
believe with the word "demeures. !"
xviii you kindly translate 1t, please?"
said the teacher. "Oh, certainly" an
swered Mrs. Blank. II don't quite
remember how 1t goes in the English
Testament, but I'll just put it into the
best English | can" And then the
astonished class gasped, while Mrs.
Blank read off, as glibly as you please:
an my Fathers mansion are many
flats. "-Washington Post.

Island of st. Helena.

st. Helena is a lonely island in the
Atlantic 200 miles from the west
coast of Africa. 1896 miles from Cape
Town, and AIT miles from Southamp-
ton. 1t is of volcanic origin and con-
sists OF numerous rugged mountains,
the highest rising to height OF $500
feet. 1t measures ten miles by eight
and has an area of AZ square miles; the
population at the last census in 1881
was 4,116. It was discovered by the
Portuguese in 1902, and taken possess
sion of by the British East India Com
pany in 1851. They remained masters
of the island until 1884, since when IL
has been administered by governor
and a council of four members. Pre-
vious to the cutting of the Suez Canal.
st. Helena was favorite port Of call
for vessels bound to and from India by
the Cape Of Good Hope, and the inhab-
itants did large trade in furnishing
these vessels with provisions and
other supplies. But the shorter route
afforded by the Canal and the Red Sea
has entirely destroyed this trade, and
the island is speedily going from bad
to worse. 1t is chiefly celebrated as
the place of Napoleon Bonaparte's i'm
prisonment from 1915 to his death in
1921. A small garrison is always sta
toned on the island, but this will be-
largely increased now that 1t Is made
the home of the Boer prisoners. The
house in which Napoleon died is still
in a good state of preservation and
will doubtless be utilized for some OF
the more important prisoners now sta
toned there.

I'VE have a peck of chaff that has got
into this 5000 bushels OF wheat, and
the only way to get rid of the chaff
is to throw all the wheat overheard"
Now. that Is great deal wiser than

Culture of Basket willows.

The long thin stems of the basket
willow are called osiers, and the osier
willow is the same as the basket will
low. Really there are two kinds of
osier willows, but there is so little
difference between them that only a
botanist could discover it, Generally
these willows are grown on damp
ground on the banks Of streams or
ponds, but they will grow as easily on
quicker growth and stronger twigs.
The best locality for growing them as
farm crop is near large town or
city where many baskets or other will
low goods are made. Large quantities
of osiers are used for making chairs,
children's carriages and other work
besides baskets. There is a constantly
increasing demand for them.

TIED OWN NUPTIAL KNOT.
fennsyivania Justice Acted as Celebrant
at His Own Wedding

TehhsyNahia Justice Acted Celebrant
at His Own Wedding.
Ira earle of Kingston, Pa, is an old
time justice Of the peace who takes a
somewhat liberal view of his own
magisterial powers. He is somewhat
advanced in years and some eleven
years ago, when three score and four
teen and widower, felt the need of
some tender spirit to share his trou-
bles and add to the enjoyments of his
existence. Casting about him, his eyes
fell upon comedy widow of IS, whom
he wooed with all the ardor Of a swain
OF one-fourth his years. He was not
long in winning her consent to a mar
riage. but. being of an economical
turn, he hesitated about paying the
fee that would be exacted by a clergy
man or brother magistrate. He con-
suited his law library, consisting OF the
revised statutes of the Keystone state,
and could not find therein any inter-
diction Of a lawfully qualified justice
Of the peace performing the wedding
ceremony, His bride-elect was equally
oblivious Of the proprieties and accord
ingly it was done. Now comes Mrs.
earle into court and asks for a legal
separation from the squire on the
ground of cruel treatment. Called
upon to testify, the aggrieved woman
said re marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Squire Garlic himself, and
that there were no witnesses present.
She said the squire told her such
marriage was all right under the laws
of Pennsylvania and that there was no
other ceremony. Some old letters were
shown to show that she had written to
him as his wife even before the strange
ceremony of of 1893. One was written
in 1892 to the squire in which she
signed herself his beloved wife. In
describing the marriage ceremony the
woman said he read from a Bible,
asked her II she would be his wife, and
she consented. believing the ceremony
valid. Now. the squire declares that
the ceremony was farce, but the
court was of the opinion that it would
be good law. He refused to pass def
nitely upon the matter,H however, and
the case will be taken to higher
court.-Chicago Chronicle.

Hens stay Mt Home Now.

Elgin Qll) correspondence Chicago
Inter Ocean: An Elgin man who was
greatly annoyed by his neighbor's hens
and disliked to kill the fowls. which
scratched his garden, hit upon a novel
and efficacious remedy. He took a
packing case, covered the bottom with
straw. cut hole large enough to
admit a hen, and placed the case in a
quiet part of his garden. In few
mornings the neighbor complained
that some one was stealing eggs. but
when the case owner showed IS eggs
as result of one mornings harvest
he took the hint and the fowls were
kept at home.
