NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Many of the new houses going up in
Honolulu are of the Oakland type of
architecture and others bear the I'M
mistakable marks of the Eastern de-
signers. Few are really tropical. 1t
is most difficult either for house-own-
ers or architects to get away from the
domiciliary traditions of the temper
ate zone. The early missionaries, true
to the New England model, built
houses with steep roofs to shed snow,
small windows to reduce the space that
is most vulnerable to cold and with
cellars in which to store vegetables for
winter use. Verandas were all but
eschewed. Specimens of these dwell
lings may still be seen in the Islands;
one of them stands in the rear of Ka
waiahao church and is a good example
of its kind. Yet out of place as it
seems II is no more so than some of the
cottages lately built or now in course
of construction-smart gimcrack villas
with small rooms, tucked UP Railways,
conventional porches and bathrooms
and Just enough dooryard for elbow
space.
The true cottage for the tropics car
ries out the bungalow principle. 1t

from the moist ground and to catch
the vagrant breezes; it's bathroom is
more sumptuous than it's drawing
room; it has an abundance of latticed
verandas beneath it's caves, which over
hang, are screen-wired spaces for ven
tilation; every weather door is screen
ed; the kitchen is outside and is con-
nected with the dining room by lat
ticed passage; the bedrooms are mos
quito-proof. In such a house as this
providing, of course that conventional
carpets and stuffed furniture are avoid
ed, one may take the kind of comfort
that belongs to the sojourner under the
vertical sun. There is nothing of CON-
fort to compare with 1t in the Eastlake
or Queen Anne cottage of the architec-
tural design books. Such a structure
does not have one natural point of con-
tact with the Hawaiian climate.

Truth About Countess waidersee

Countess Won Waldersee, wife of the
German field marshal who is to be
commander in chief of the allies in
China, has been frequently spoken of
as having been the morganatic
wife of the late Prince Frederick of
Schleswig- Holstein. She was not.
Prince Frederick fell in love with Miss
Mary Lee, an American, and found
himself confronted with these condi-
tons: IF he retained his royal rank
he could not marry Miss Lee, except
morganatically; and morganatic mar
riage Miss Lee would not accept. He
thereupon put royalty aside and be-
came Prince Frederick Won Noer; and
as such, he married Miss Lee with full
ceremony. Prince Frederick Won NoeI
died the next year. AS the widowed
Princess Won Noer, the former New
York girl was woed by the Count vor
Waldersee in 1874, and is now his wife

THE HlLO SCHEME.

The Bulletin states the claims of Hilo
upon the Republican Convention as
follows:
The first and all-important claim Hilo
has to make for the Territorial gathering
Is the utter lack of aggressive activity
among the Republicans of the Hilo dis
trict. Reports are constantly
coming from Hilo showing a lack of or
ganization.
And yet one OF the Hilo Republican
papers, a short time ago, asked what
was the matter with the Oahu Repub-
licans that they did not wake up and
take hold of politics as Republicans of
the big island had done? Hilo has a
candidate for Congress In Judge Little;
Loebentein Is in active pursuit of a
Senatorship; the Tribune has begun to
fight McStocker and there Is as much
politics to the square inch in Hilo as
anywhere In the group. In fact the
rainy city will probably get mad when
II Is told that IL cannot even run it's
political affairs without Honolulu aid.
There Is really no sound party reason
for going to Hilo and there are many
good ones against IL. The way steam
ers run makes Honolulu the central
point OF the group. 1t would be more
convenient for even the Kona people
OF Hawaii to come here than to go to
Hilo; and as for the majority of the
other islanders. they are in the same
boat True. certain fractional objects
might be secured at Hilo which are not
attainable here, but we will not accuse
the Republican Territorial Committee.
which is supposed to represent the
whole party, of a factional motive.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
A Plutocratic Bootblack .

The most prosperous bootblack in
New York has long since given up any
active share in the work that made
him a wealthy man, but he began in
the customary way and worked for
some years before the tide of fortune
set so strongly in his favor that he
became the owner of a racing stable.
He is an Italian, who conducts a dozen
establishments in various parts of the
city, but direct supervision OF them
has recently been handed over to a SUI
perintendent, and the visits of the boss
in these days are rare. His earnings
last week on one race won by a horse
from his stable were $4,000, and, as it
would take good many shines TO ma he
up that amount, his greater interest in
the racing stable may easily be under
stood. His wealth has made this young
Italian figure regarded almost with
superstition by his poorer competitors
in this city. They have come to believe
that he cannot fail and are prepared to
see him accumulate millions.

A SHARK FAKE.

The story printed by yellow con-
temporary about shark Selling or try
ing to seize man at the Annex bath
ing ground, a short distance from shore,
need not deter any bather from the en-
joyment of the Waikiki surf No such
thing occurred. That a shark from
seven to nine feet long could get over
the reef and operate in the shallow wa
ter between that barrier and the beach
is postulate that no one who knows
anything about sharks would advance.
The man-eating shark belongs to the
ceeps and he cannot seize his prey in
waters where children wade and where
men swim at imminent risk of barking
their knees on the sand. At the time
the shark adventure Is supposed 70

He TESTED HIS SKILL.

The Result Moved the Philosopher
to Discourse on Success.
.sDid you ever realize that the sue
cess that one really enjoys comes only
through hard work n asked the philos-
opher. Il know the average mortal
would prefer 70 gain his ends without
hard toll. but few do, and doubt If
those few gain any pleasure from hav-
ing the plum drop in their laps without
any effort on their part.
II had that fact impressed upon me
only the other day. I CHANGED during
an idle moment to pick up an empty
ink bottle, and something started my
thoughts back to my boyhood days
when an empty bottle furnished an
ideal mark to throw stones at. Smiling
to myself at the childishness of 1t,
set the bottle on a hitching post, and
after carefully selecting a number Of
stones l stood off about 80 feet and
prepared to make test of my skill.
The very first stone that / threw
caught the bottle fairly in the center
and shattered 1t into hundred pieces.
threw away the stones that that / had SO
carefully gathered in disgust. l had
accomplished what l had set out to do
on my first throw, but fully realized
that 1t was only fiuke and that l
might throw so more stones and not
come anywhere near the mark.
Now, If, on the contrary, had miss
ed, would have carefully noted wheHa
the fault lay and tried to have correct
ed 1t on my next throw The throws
that went too low and too high, as
well as too much to one side, would
have all been valuable lessons to me,
and in the end would have succeeded
in placing a stone where wanted it
That would have been success gained
by working for it. The very few peo-
pie who gain success on their first
throw have my sympathy."-Defroit

An interesting fact in connection
with the eoniferous forests of the Pa
cific slope is that as the original timber
is removed new growth OF the same
varieties Of timber Immediately springs
up. With the white pine forests Of
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan.
the reverse is true, the new growth of
timber never being white pine, but usu-
ally poplar and jack pine. This fact Of
the western forests being able to re-
produce themselves suggests very forci-
bly, the wisdom Of the government In
taking proper steps to secure some
practical form of forestry work where
by this wonderful timber tract may be
maintained and not ruthlessly slaugh-
tered, as has been the case with all our
forests on the Atlantic coasts.

an an Article OF Diet.
II look upon bread as an article Of
food destined to be completely abolish
ed before many years. said New
York doctor, for the number Of per-
sons who are willingly giving up the
use of it increases every year. The ma
Jority of them do this on the advice Of
their physicians, who find more ground
for recommending abstinence from
bread as they see the results that such
course of treatment has on their pa
tients.
''For nearly all forms of dyspepsia,
govt, rheumatism and kindred all
ments the patient is first told to shun
bread unless 1t be submitted to certain
preparation and be taken only in GER
tain forms. The great increase in the
number Of hygienic foods that have
been put upon the market and the al
most invariabie success of any of these
manufactures which prove an accepta-
BILE substitute for bread and other
starchy foods are other indications in
the change of the public feeling toward
bread as a simple food which could be
taken under all circumstances.
Some years ago man wrote book
devoted chiefly to exposing to the
world the harmful qualities of bread
Persons at that time thought he was a
crank and little attention was paid to
his very sound utterances on the sub
ject. But his opinions are now re-ech-
oed by most physicians, and the great
army of abstainers from bread gathers
recruits every day. The revolt against
such a well established institution is
naturally a little bit slow. But bread
is destined to be ultimately summed
even more than it is today, and this de-
struction of tradition that has lasted
centuries is already well under way.
Most of its force comes from the COM
plete satisfaction of the persons who
do give up bread entirely. They are al
ways the most enthusiastic advocates
