IDLE JAPANESE.

The Japanese loafer is always a
nuisance and he is becoming danger.
At Hilo where the runaway or dis
charged plantation laborers gather, the
Oriental quarter is full to overlooking.
The character of the newcomers is
described in the Tribune as that of
touts, pimps, gamblers, sneak-thieves,
bummers and dead beats. This being
the case Hilo has acquired more than
her proportion of the dangerous classes
and, if the ferment among plantation
hands on the big island becomes ire
pressible the town may find itself in 50
bad a way as to require special pre-
cautions to insure public order.
Honolulu is not having much trouble
yet, although, the number of idle Jap
anese is increasing week by week. La
borers who want to exchange the toll
Of the cane field for the delights of the
town are arriving on foot, on the cars
and on the steamers. So far most OF
them have been quiet, though last
night the Advertiser was rung up by a
gentleman who said that drunken Jap
anese coolies were calling at houses on
King street near the Waikiki turn and
demanding work. growing unruly when
il was refused them. Naturally the
more idle coolies Fin town the greater
the likelihood of such unpleasant
visitations.
The remedy seems to be to enforce
the vagrancy laws without giving the
coolie much benefit of the doubt. 1t
would be better to take that course
now than TO wait until the number of
loafers is doubled or trebled-better for
the city and better for the planters.

Cooking With Electricity.

In Utica, n. Y, block of new apart
ment houses are just being furnished
with complete installation of electric
cooking utensils in each fiat. The cleo
trical Kitchen furniture consists of three
round platters or Stoves" an oven and
broiler. 1t is declared, apparently
with reason. that meats broiled on the
electric gridiron are much more palata-
Die than those charred and scorched in
the ordinary way over hot Goals. The
most remarkable feature of these cleo
trical kitchens is that the stoves, ETC.,
are SIMPLY placed on an ordinary kit
chen table, and when the cooking is
completed can be slowed away in a con
yenient closet, leaving the kitchen free
of even trace of cookery.

GRANITE CARVED BY NATURE.

Peculiar Effects In the Geological struc-
ture of Newfoundland.
From the Philadelphia Record: Ex-
traordinary activity has been displayed
recently in opening up deposits of coal,
iron and copper Of Newfoundland, and
it is reported that the export of cop
per from the island during the past
twelve months was one-sixth of the
total output from all other parts Of
the world, while the prospects are that
in the next twelve months still larg-
er tonnage will be recorded. There
are some very peculiar local effects
observed in the geological structure Of
the island of Newfoundland. There is
a large granite quarry about fifty miles
from st. Johns, the capital, where
granite has been hewn by some con-
vulsion of nature into rectangular
blocks Of different sizes, so conven-
iently assorted that schooner loads Of
selected stones have been brought to
st. Johns and used in some Of the
public buildings and the warehouses
with little or no hand dressing by
masons. The new postofice and GUS
tom house. built after the great fire
which practically wiped out all the
business part of the town, are partly
constructed Of these granite stones
hewn by nature.

CHAPTER III.


Day went on her knees and bent
over the PROSTATE form.
Are you hurt?" she asked in a
somewhat shaken little voice. But no
answer came. She tried to draw the
mans arm from under him. It was
limp and powerless, like that Of the
dead.
"Oh, God, grant that he is not dead!'
Day whispered, in an awe-stricken
voice. She was young and strong, and
the warm blood of youth flowed
through her veins. 1t sent a shudder
to her inmost heart to think that the
man whom she had seen few sec
onds ago as full of youthful health
and energy as she herself might be
lying now. cold, supine, without sight
or hearing
The lightning was still playing about
her head, and the thunder rafting;
but Day hardly needed it. All thoughts
of her own danger were banished from
her mind. The effort to turn him
around, so that the mans face was
hidden, for it was turned inwards upon
his arm. Day made violent effort
to turn him so she could see his face.
She succeeded partially at last; but
then the sight that met her eyes terri
fed her more than ever.
Chastity pale, with closed eyes and
mouth, and with apparently no breath
coming from between the tightly-set
lips, it seemed to Day like the face Of
a dead man. In its white, awful pallor
she saw it more distinctly now than
she had before. The features were fine
and delicately cut, and the whole face
refined; only the mouth, in it's close
set seemed to give indication of stern
nature-too stern for so young a face.
ooh, merciful Father, grant that he
may not die" Day prayed again, hard
ly knowing what she said, for in her
deepest heart she believed he was real
ly dead.
"What am to do?"
Then, swift as an arrow, 1t flashed
into her mind what she should do. She
rose from her knees, called to Ola, who
was shifting about the PROSTATE figure,
and flew up the road which led to Alb
bots Head. In three minutes, hot,
breathless. painting, she was at the
door,
Bell was looking out for her, with a
scared expression on her face.

& In 1S74-77 the great German investi.
gator. Keuhu., feeding COWS on palm
nut meal in particular, and also malt
sprouts, peanut meal and cottonseeds
meal. concludeds that these feeds In
creased directly the amount Of fat In
the milk, and for time these state:
ments were hardly disputed. In 1879
the same learned Investigator, after
further experimenting, changed his
views and wrote: 1.-THE system Of
feeding is only OF secondary import
ance for milk production; the yield OF
milk is primarily dependent on the de-
velopment or productive capacity OF
the milk glands Of each COW, and even
with changes from light to heavy feed
the supply does not increase in proper
ton to the nutriment supplied. The
same holds true where the farmer aims
to increase any single component Of
milk-as fat-since it is not. possible
to obtain one-sided increase Of this
Or any other component in the milk by
changes in the system Of feeding. No
such changes can, at any rate, DO
reached as of practical importance"
But this plain statement from one Of
the most careful Investigators the
world has produced was not accepted
as final, and scientists have worked
over the question again and again in
multitude of ways.
Perhaps the best illustrations . Of
how they have started and how they.
came out of the Investigations in many
cases was by Patrick at the Iowa sta
ton. This Investigator fed one lot, Of
his cows heavily with sugar meal, a by
product of the glucose factory. giving
to another lot lighter feed of mixed
grain; then the conditions were re-
versed. Analysis showed apparently
in some cases that the cows had in
creased as much as S of one per cent
butter-fat, and the conclusion Of the
investigator was that sugar meal was
one Of the feeds which would surely
increase the fat percentage Of milk.
But all the cows on The trial did not
increase the fat in their milk, and to
pile up more data another experiment
was undertaken with sugar meal as
one of the feeds. This time there was
no increase in fat, and the investigator
ceased his contentious that sugar meal
fed to COWS would put fat into their
milk.

was popular with reporters and often
received tips from them for running
to newspaper Offices with copy"
While Brady was employed by the
Press club his father died and the

morning newspaper took much interest
In young Brady and obtained him q

TillaEe Value of subsoil.


The value of the subsoil for tillage
purposes must always depend on its
local character. It is therefore mani
testify impossible to give advice for
its treatment that can be generally
applied. AS we use the terms. there
is a great difference between soil and
subsoil, but this difference varies SO
greatly that in some cases the term
subsoil is almost identical with the
term soil. The soil is that part of the
ground lying nearest the air, and is
composed of pulverized rock, humus,
animal remains and minute particles
Of still undecayed vegetable matter.
Being nearest the air the elements OF
the air, which tend to break up the
rocky material in which the plant food
is bound up, can operate. The frosts
take hold earliest and remain longest.
The subsoil is that lying below, and
consists generally Of rock. with little
vegetable matter, and little opportun1-
ty for action by the frosts of winter,
the heat of summer or the elements OF
the air. There are, however, excep-
tons in some of our prairies, ana
wherever the soil has been deposited
to great depth by action of water IN
swamps and rivers. There are subsoiis
that may, by deep plowing, be incor-
porated with the soil to great advan-
tage, since their texture is similar,
and since they contain both some veg
etable matter and mineral elements
set loose by chemical action. When 1t
is possible to use such soils tor cul-
tural purposes, undertaking will be
found to make them more available.
In many localities the subsoil Is 80
heavy that its incorporation with the
surface soil would prove a detriment
