Meeting of Camp Committee.

Minister Young called meeting OF
this committee at the Kalihi Deten-
ton camp yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock There were present Minister
Young, C. B. Ripley, L. A. Thurston,
DR.. Geo. Herbert and j. A. Kennedy.
BY invitation President Dole and the
newly appointed Finance Committee of
the Board Of Health, c. NJ. Cooke, j..
B. Atherton and T. r. Walker, were
present.
Minister Young stated that the first
subject for consideration was the
water supply: that the increase in the
number of people had rendered the
fresh water supply insufficient and
there was always the possibility OF the
salt water pump breaking down. That
the question OF digging an artesian well
should be considered; that the B.sAop
Estate, which owned the land, would
deal literally with the government In
the matter and would probably pay for
one-half of the cost of the well. The
estimated cost of a we'll and appurten-
ances would be not to exceed $4,000 or
$4,000.
1t was unanimously voted that r.
inch artesian well be Immediately bor
ed at or near the camp to be used both
for drinking water and flushing pur-
poses. Minister Young Was appointed
a committee of one to Immediately con-
tract for the well.
In view of the urgent necessity for
Immediately increasing the fresh water
supply and the fact that it would take
several weeks to drill a well while it
was desirable Immediately to remove
people from the other temporary camps
about the city TO Kalihi, 1t was voted
to lay a second pipe from King street
to the camp the same to be three
inches in diameter and Minister Young
was appointed committee TO carry 1t
out.
In order to guard against possible
break down a the salt water flushing
pump, l.. A. Thurston was appointed
a committee of one to secure the re-
fusal of a second pump to be used in
case of emergency.
The committee then Immediately in
spected the camp as well as the ad-
joining camp known as Kalihi Deten-
ton Camp No. 2, which is being con-
structed for white and other families
who desire and are able to pay for
separate quarantine quarters.

The cunning of children is well rec

and it is seldom if given chance that
they cannot inveigle their elders into

consideration that her mother had had
enough experience with children to
have an insight into their nature.

weeks off, and her parents had told her
that they were going to give her a
handsome present upon that occasion.
She had been counting 'sthe minutes"

without knowing what her present
would be she stole softly up to her
mother and begged her to show her the
present.
''Why, 1t wouldn't be right to show It

The Army In the Field.

The Iayman cannot easily realize the
vast amount of material as to food and
ammunition demanded by an army in
the field A few facts and figures as
to this may aid to make it more tangi-
BILE Each man requires, at mini
mum, three pounds and half OF food
per day. Each animal should have at
least 20 pounds of food in countries
where grazing is not abundant. If we
take, for purposes of estimate, only 10
pounds required to supply each animal,
leaving five pounds to be gathered from
the country by grazing and otherwise,
we assume a quantity that may be con-
sidered minimum.
An army of 10000 men would re-
quire about $4,000 animals for trans
portation of artillery, camp equipment,
ammunition, food, hospital and med
ical equipment. There should not be
less than 10000 cavalry. There should
not be less than 10000 animals avail
able at all times to supply losses. This
makes total of 10000 animals to be
fed. With this as basis we see that
the daily demands would be for the
men $4,000 pounds and for the horses
100000 pounds, or an aggregate OF
1,S75,OOO pounds. This is equal to
something more than 1886 tons per day.

To one unaccustomed to tropical con-
ditions the furnishing of the Porto
Rican home would at first sight seem
meager, but it is quite ample. A short
residence will demonstrate that nearly
500 years of experience with the I'M
pleasant features Of life in the West
Indies have been crowned by a sur
vival of the fittest in house furnishing
as in other matters.
Austrian bent wood furniture and also
wickerwork and willow ware consti-
tute the main equipment Of the par
lors and living rooms. Upholstered fur
niture is unknown and undesired, little
or no attempt being made at decoration
except in the matter Of embroidery and
fine handmade lace work. Hundreds

the establishment of single canopied

one great feature Of the home. 1t is ev-

size and exquisite formation, as well
as broad spreading palm leaves, are

Lieutenant A. W. Thomson says, in
The Independent, that when the civil
war was practically over he was sent
from the camp at Lincolnton to Char
lotte, N. G. under flag Of truce He
entered the town and was conducted to
General Echols' headquarters in a
large upper room, evidently school
room.
Our guide pointed out the general,
fine, portly gentleman, seated at a
table. I advanced and laid my papers
on the table.
General Echols, I presumed" said.
"These dispatches are from General
Gillian. Shall wait for an answerT

came up to me, shook hands and said:

strangers"
He had been our prisoner year OF
SO before. While we chatted a gentle
man in civilian gray suit turned to
address General Echols. The cold stare
Of glass eye caught my attention. and
the features were somewhat familiar.
"Ah, Jefferson Davis! Are you here,
pressed to the WALTZ" was my first
thought. His face was far more pleas
ant than our northern papers had pic
tured 1t.
A dispatch was handed to General
Echols, who read and reread 1t with an
earnest, anxious lok. Half rising, he
passed the paper to Mr.. Davis, who read
it slowly and then handed it back.
"Well," said he, 1--WE have lost q
generous enemy"

The Arabs Little Game.

In The Agricultural Journal of the
Cape of Good Hope appears an article
on the vitality of wheat from Egyptian
mummy cases. 1t is often asserted that
samples of wheat from the same CROP
as that which Joseph stored in Pha-
raoh's granaries has been taken from
mummy wrappings and, when planted
has grown This is very likely erro-
neous, as the Arabs have a habit OF
selling to tourists samples of grain
which have in all likelihood come from
the nearest field instead of from the
ancient tombs. Indeed in many In
stances this mummy grain has been
corn, and, as corn was not known until
it was brought from America, the
fraud is apparent.

The Finger Nails.

In days when superstition was more
prevalent than it is now the shape and
appearance of the finger nails were
considered to have reference to ones
destiny. To learn the message of the
finger nails it was necessary to rub
them over with a compound of wax
and SCOT and then to hold them so that
the sunlight fell fully on them. Then
on the horny, transparent substance
certain signs and characters were sup
posed to appear, from which the future
could be interpreted. Persons, too,
having certain kinds of nails were cred
tied with the possession of certain
characteristics. Thus a man with red
and spotted nails was supposed to
have hot temper, while pale, lead col
ored nails were considered to denote a
melancholy temperament. Narrow nails
were supposed to betray ambition and
a quarrelsome nature, while round
shaped nails were the distinguishing
marks of lovers of knowledge and peo-
pie of liberal sentiment Conceited
narrow minded and obstinate folk were
supposed to have small nails, incident
people f1eshy nails and those of a gen
tie, retiring nature broad nails.
