The NeWs C) Changed Its Markets.

If the Posi- accomplished no more, it at least
helped the readers of the Nems to change in
the market reports last week. Six months with
out change and there is no telling how much
longer it would have continued without achange
had not the Posi- given the Ners pointer. If
the readers of the Ners sold their butter and eggs
since July 12, at the same old rates quoted they
have lost great deal of money. In a recent issue
of the News there was taken from the Posi- list
of words of which the Nems editor did not know
the meaning and he was too tired to look them up
in his dictionary. After enumerating the list
of words, the Ners concludes that the editor of
the Posi- is "gl eviously possessed of the devil in
his darkest hue" What kind of logic is this?
The Ne,s must think its readers are set of ig-
norant fools to acept such incongruous deductions
from the premises given. 1t is very easy matter
tor typographical errors to creep into newspaper
and a. the Posi- has enough of its own to weed
out it must ask the pardon of its readers for such
as may occur from time to time and we will
cheerfully accord the same mercy for other un-
fortunate quill pushers. Such errors are pardon
able, but this would be rp-to-date journal around
the corner has been running heading "Local
Riplets' in large type since Oct. 26, 1899. As
that contemporary has shown its willinging to
change its markets at our suggestion, even
though they had not been changed for six morths,
we would suggest that they put another {" p" in
"Ripplets," even though the other way Of SPELL
ing has been running for IA long months. Typo
graphical errors can be pardoned, but the Posi-
can not see that this is a typographical error If
the Nens wants any more pointers, the Posi-
will be fraternal enough to help its neighbor out
of the mud Oversights can be pardoned and even
ignorance can be excused in persons who appre-
ciate their unfortunate condition, but there can
be no excuse for such glaring errors by persons
who set themselves upas anauthority on the Eng
lsh language.

BOARD OF HEALTH WORK

At a meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday after noon, the last under the
old regime, DR.. Wood introduced the
first business by stating that DR.. Car
michael appeared to establish the sta
tus of the Federal officers under the
change of government. DR.. Wood fur
Their stated that he had handed in mis-
resignation as president of the Board
of Health, to take effect June IA.
The members of the Board next fell
into a discussion about the matter of
property to be turned over to the Unit
ed States Government, the Federal au-
thorities having authority to receive all
such. 1t was brought out in this dis
cussion that the quarantine wharf tad
always been under the Interior De-
partment and not the Board of Health.
DIR. Carmichael stated that 1t was che
custom in the United States that the
expenses of fumigation be borne by the
Federal Government. He stated fur
ther that he had sent despatch to
Washington asking that all cargoes be
disinfected. 1t was then voted that all
the appliances belonging to the govern.
ment and all the fumigating apparatus
in charge Of the Board of Health, be
handed over to the Federal authorities.
DR.. Wood announced that DR.. Noblitt
had asked that the consideration of his
application for a license to practice
go over until later. This was granted.
The matter Of the insanitary condi-
ton Of the property of the Bishop Es-
tate and John Ena at Waikiki was re-
ferred to the Executive Officer and

"R lis" ON Roari shin.

Every one who has read stories of the
sea has wondered why sailors keep
time by bells instead of by hours.
The sad sea dog" of the tale says:
Its eight bells. and alrs WELL" and
the reader wonders why he calls them
eight BELLS" instead of the hour.
There are people who think ''eight
bells is s o'clock, and so with all the
hours told off by bells
AT sea .'bell'' is equivalent to o'clock
on shore. A bell is struck every hour.
The day, beginning at midnight, is di-
yided into watches of four hours, ex-
cept the watch from to O'Clock p.
M, which is divided into two dog
watches. A frll watch thus consists of
eight half hours and its progress is
noted by the number of strokes on the
bell. For instance, beginning at mid
night, the end of a watch, the bell is
struck eight times; half past l. is one
bell, o'clock is two bells, /: 80 o'clock
is three bells. o'clock is four bells,
3 o'clock is six. bells, 4 O'Clock is eight
bells again, and so on.
The bells, except the odd bells, are
struck in pairs, thus: Three bells are
struck clang-clang, clang. -Four bells
are struck clangclang, clang-clang.
1t is pleasant diversion on ship
board TO hear the officer of the watch
strike the bells on the bridge and to
hear them answered by the bells in the
fo-c-sle, and all over the ship.

Manure nnd Rotation.

Our garden contains one and q quar-
ter acres and is twenty rods long. /

garden truck and heed crops for ten
years with only two applications of
stable manure. l thought commercial
fertilizers were easier to handle and
entirely free from weed seed or grass
seed of all kinds. therefore ! used 1t
nearly every year till there was no HUI
mus left in the soil, 1t baked badly,
remained wet late in spring and no
crop did well. Last summer the bugs
ate the leaves off of my potato vines
when they were young and they all
died. Bugs also devoured turnips. to-
matoes, beet tops, bean vines, etc.
at first had a good garden and thought
it would continue that way forever;
but l now know by experience
that l was mistaken, and there
may be other mistaken farmers
who will read these lines. Ny gar
den is now sowed to wheat, which looks
fine. l shall give it good coat of sta
BILE manure this winter, SOW it to clover
in the spring and pillow under the next

The Value of Mules.

The cause of the large order for army
pack mules which the British Govern
ment has been buying in this country
and mostly in Texas, was the recogni-
ton by English officers present during
the brief campaign Of Santiago de
Cuba of the value of these why little
animals in the transportation of sup
plies. The officers Of our own regular
army had long known and appreciated
their usefulness during an active cam
paign. With enough of them an army
can be kept well supplied with every
thing the departments may have In
store during periods of bad weather
when wagon trains could not be moved
at all, and over a country too rough for
vehicles. Their readiness at any time
for service and the ease with which
they can be kept together and moved
over any sort Of country in order to be
kept within convenient reach of the
troops will recommend them to all Off
GERS who see them in active campaigns.
Every government of Europe is quick
to appreciate anything that tends TO
improve the efficiency of an army in
the field, and it is not improbable that
other European governments will make
acquisitions upon this country for large
numbers of pack mules. Texas can
raise thousands of them on the range
at little cost.

Keepiur Chimnevs Clean.

After winters supply OF wood or
coal has been burned, much of it while
rain or snow is drifting Down tbs
chimney, it is sure to be foul with soot
and any extra hot fire. especially with
wood, will send sparks up that will set
the SCOT afire and endanger the house.
It is a good plan TO poke a broom or
brush with very long handle up and
down the chimney 10 clear away the
SCOT. IL this is done and the SCOT is
removed from below there will be little
danger OF its doing any damage. The
chimney ought to be made smooth in
side, so that the SCOT will not be caught
by roughness as the smoke goes up. A
chimney afire is serious danger, es-
pecially when the hot fire that causes Il
is made just before the family retire
for the night Coal fires are less dan
gerous than those from light wood,
which make bright flame and send up
many sparks.

Lonp-Lnst Shell.

The longest time that is known to
have elapsed between the firing of a
shell and its explosion is forty-four
years. Recently shell which had been
fired into the Russian harbor of Sebas-
topol during the Crimean war at least
forty-four years ago was hauled up by
some fishermen, and it exploded on be-
ing taken from the water, killing one
of the men and wounding several of
the others, notwithstanding the long
period which had elapsed since it had
left the British gun which fired it.
Finds of shells are exceedingly danger
Gus, if they happen to be unezploded
ones, as similar accident happened
not long since at Bolton-le-Sands,
where a dredger named Wilson fished
up one that had been fired from the
artillery camp at Bare, and took it
home. An attempt to break 1t up cost
him an eye, foot and broken head,
besides causing serious damage to prop
erfy.

A Enmilx W eddinc.Ring.

The wedding ring of the Verney fam
lily, of Clayton, Buckinghamshirc. is an
enormous gold one, intended to be worn
outside the thick military glove Of The

an ancestor Of Sir Henry Verney Mt
the fatal battle of Edgehill. After the
fight, when search was made for the
gallant yerney, nothing could be foI;Dd
but gloved hand. firmly clutched
round the royal standard, and this ring
still remaining on the finger. With
this relic of their ancestor the Verneys
solemnize their marriages, though, of
course, a lighter circlet is substituted
after the ceremony. The last marriage
in which this ring was used was that
of Sir Harry Verney to the sister of
Florence Nightingale.

Paris Green.

There has been such general com
plant of the adulteration of Paris
green that we would certainly advise
farmers to abandon its use entirely as
an insectide, either on fruit trees, pota-
toes or other plants. There is said to
be some of it on the market that con-
tains no arsenic at all, and is probably
some of the cheaper green paints. 9th
CT samples are made by mixing about
one-half gypsum or plaster with pure
Paris green, thus reducing strength In
the same proportion while others are
simply low grades with not over 80 per
cent. arsenius acid instead of So per
cent. Some try 10 strengthen these
cheap compounds or mixtures by add
ing white arsenic, which is cheaper
than Paris green, but it is also more
liable in fact, almost cegtain-to In
jure the foliage, unless lime is used
with it to the amount of about ten
parts of lime to one of arsenic Amer

Liauid Air.


The commercial probabilities of
liquid air .as refrigerant lies in the
fact that it is 344 degrees colder than
ice. containing the same amount of
cold in a space maryelously smaller.
A liquid air plant, it is said, has al
ready been started in California, and its
value to that region is thus explained:
Most of the fruit shipped without ice
is loss. The cost of icing car from
Los Angeles to New York is $92, and
$T5 per car for freight on the ice. In
addition the ice takes up one-quarter
of the carrying capacity of the car.
With a completion of the plant we can
cool car at cost of less than $40 for
liquid air for the trip, and no cost for
the freight whatever Here is a saw
ing of $l27 per car" What refers to
the refrigerating for fruit means also

articles requiring the use of ice-Ex-

An attempt to improve the goat as a
milk-giyer is being made by NJ. j.
Crepin, of Paris. He has established
model goat dairy, and has obtained
very satisfactory stock by crossing the
best native goats with the Nubian
buck, the latter being vigorous, indif-
ferent to cold and hornless. Goats milk
is richer in caseine and more digestible
than cows milk. In composition it is
more nearly like the milk of the human
mother than any other, and it has the
advantage of being comparatively free
from risk of infection, the goat being
seldom affected with tuberculosis and
other dangerous maladies. The butter,
like the cheese, is found to be remark
ably good

Feedinc Sitting Hens.

One of the reasons why it is hard to
make hens sit regularly in winter is
found in feeding them too often. A
hen called off from her nest three or
four times a day is likely 10 make some
ventures of her own to get food or
drink Until the hen is thoroughly set
on sitting, she should be fed only once
a day, and that early in the morning.
If it is in close room, where she can
not get out, the hen will go back to the
nest again and sit contentedly. She
takes no exercise and needs only food
enough TO sustain life and heat.
