One of the worst effects of the faux
pas with the official rat poison was to
disgust the public with the rat crusade.
let there never was any greater need
than now to kill of the rodents, which
are the chief remaining sources Of
public infection. From the first the Ad-
vertIser has put its faith in raw meat
sprinkled with the compound known as
Rough on Rats, and after that upon
traps. II householders will try these
devices We do not think there will be
any great call for the services of the
professional rat catcher-an individual
who. II he resides among US at all, has
probably been doing his best already to
reduce the supply of rats for the sake
of the per capita reward offered by the
Board OF Health.

SUUASU WATER QUESTION.

4 Several times OF late this journal has
. proposed that an attempt be made 10
7 tap a supply OF fresh water for the Nuu-
anu reservoirs by boring with a dia-
mond drill into the mountain Waikiki
OF the valley and. II water is found
reaching out for il with a tunnel. Some
years ago a short tunnel was carried
into the face OF the cliff but no water
was developed and the idea Of a noun
tain supply lapsed. II now appears
that II the bore had gone little further
the experiment would have been more
successful At a venture a blast or two
was set on the other day with the re-
suit that water began flowing at a rate
which fills siX-inch p.Pe and Is help
ing out the reservoirs materially. Pos
sibly more blasting would develop
enough water 70 meet all the needs Of
the district covered by the Nuuanu
mains at any season Of the year and
irrespective OF the quantity of the rain
fall.
Would it not be well 70 experiment
again with the tunnel before going into
the question OF great storage reservoirs
farther up the valley? This paper is
heartily in favor of the storage idea as
compared with any plan to continue
public dependence upon the shallow
ponds and the eapricious rainfall which,
for so many years, have been the chief
fresh water resources of a large part
Of Honolulu. But we think II would be
an inexcusable waste of money to build
a storage system in case the expendi-
ture of a few hundred or a few thousand
dollars would make natures own stor-
age system available for public use.
We suggest, therefore, that the Coun-
Gil Of State make small appropriation
for further blasting; then, IL nothing
satisfactory comes of 1t, that body will
have clearer title than now appears
to go on with the bigger venture
Should plenty of water be tapped, how
ever. a million dollars, more or less,
will have been saved to provide various
needed utilities for this and other ISL
ands of the group.

A Paris CONTINGENCY.

II you should want TO beg in Paris
and, as a writer in the Philadelphia
Press suggests, IL you insist on seeing
the great exposition 1t may come to
that-you can hire a child of from 5
to 10 years for 80 cents day. II, how
ever, the weather is very cold. Won
may have to pay more, and, as the
market goes up for holidays, there
may be general rise of prices Just be-
cause OF the exposition. Babies in
arms are naturally more expensive. and
on Christmas or New Years day IS is
not, after all, an extravagant sum for
you to pay, considering the increased
demand and the liberality of the ten
der-hearted at such seasons of the
year. Moreover, If the child is sick and
well calculated to wiring the breast of
the casual passerby, It's price Is still
higher. You should also remember
that II you beg throughout the entire
evening you are expected to give the
child some kind OF a supper, and If the
exposure proves quite too much for it
you must pay the Doctors bill.

or CURRENT INTEREST.


The .-PIg.ou Curv'' for the Grip.
An Eastern physician said the other
dav that be had been visited by a pa
tient who remarked that she had tried
the pigeon cure" for the grip 70 no
purpose he didn't ask the woman
what this cure was. but he did ask
some one else and that some one re-
piled. Il knew the theory had a certain
vogue in Paris. but / didn't think II had
reached here. The things a fake. OF
course. and a cruel one. The patients
head is shaved. the breast OF a living
pigeon is ripped open by the operator
and the hot and bleeding carcass at
once applied 10 the barrel skull. Il is
imagined that the fever Is all drawn out
BY the warm life-bloOd and quivering
flesh of the bird" In the French city.
II is said, there is a shop in the Central
markets where nothing is sold save live
pigeons destined to this odd purpose.
Indeed, the trade is 50 brisk that the
late proprietor. Nine. Michel. has re-
tired after laying by a snug fortune.
Her successor asserts that the pigeon
cure is a sure remedy for meningitis
and that in times OF the grip she is un-
able to meet the demand for birds.
They are also used, IL appears, in cases
Of typhoid fever. when a pigeon is ap-
piled to each foot of the sufferer. DR..
Legue. a famous Partisan physician.
testifies 90 the extent of the craze.

We hope the Council of State win be
generous in the matter OF odorless ex-
cavators. Twelve are not too many for
a city where hundreds of unemptied
cesspools yet exist and where filth is
accommodating at the rate OF from twenty
to thirty tons a day saying nothing of
garbage deposits. Even If the sewer
system shall be completed in four
months within the district originally
marked out for it. it may be two years
before all house connections have been
made. Eventually of course, we shall
have no use for twelve excavators in
Honolulu. but Hilo. Kahului and other
places in the group may be able to util-
lie those that are not then needed for
suburban work here.

Minister Damon's $1,000 subscription
to the Hospital for Incurables fund is
coupled with the proviso that the new
charity shall be called The Victoria
Hospital. The suggestion carries its
own compliment to the Anglican Bishop
who, with the aid of Mrs. Willis. has
done so much towards finding the in
digent sick a home. We presume the
colleagues of the Bishop on the board of
hospital directors will cheerfully join
him in accepting Mr.. Damon's offer
with the conditions named and that The
Victoria Hospital will soon materialize.

Fond of HOLSTERS.

A New York business man took his
young wife into a swell restaurant the
other night for an after-theater sup
per. 1t was her first visit to a Broad
way restaurant, and she was nervous
and uncertain as to the etiquette of
the place. AS the waiter stepped up to
the table the husband said in an Of
hand way: II will take a dozen blue
points to start with" Then he looked
inquiringly at his wife, and she, de-
termined that the waiter should not
think her green, after hesitating a mo-
ment. purred, in as careless a tone as
she could assume; Fri will take a
dozen Holsters to start with" And the
well-trained waiter never even smiled
as the gentleman whispered to him
aside: Make hers blue points. too"

What Is to be done with the strangers
whom the quarantine held here until
tneir money had been spent? The ques-

II It is true that a two years appro-
priation bill passed now by the Coun-
ell of State of the Republic OF Hawaii
would bind the Government Of the
American Territory Of Hawaii. then by
all means change the time-limit to that
OF the legal existence Of the Republic
itself. We should visit the Territory
with no legacies Of embarrassment
But this journal has it on pretty good
authority that the moment the Terri
tory is organized and its Legislature
enters upon It's duties, the old appro-
priations will lapse and the unexpended
balances be covered back into the
treasury. II this is the case the bien-
NAL clause in the appropriation bill can
make very little difference. II we con-

The eucalyptus forest on Tantalus
might be thinned out to the advantage
of the forest itself and of the public
revenues. The trees are so numerous
and thickly placed that they interfere
with eacl other and have almost
stopped growing. II every other one

able fire-wood, the remaining trees
would shoot up and leaf out, making a

Government several thousand cords of

We quite agree with the Board OF
Health that there is no use in burn
ang house which is in sanitary shape
and which has merely sheltered case
of plague brought in from some shack
or hovel. Asiatic dwellings and va
rious stables have been burned, not
only because they had harbored plague
victims but because their state of in
sanitation was such that they were
likely to become breeding-p places for
the pestilence. The ordinary dwellings
OF well-to-do whites and natives do not
fall into this class. With them disin-
fectants and fumigation supply pre-
cautionary safeguards enough.

The passage of the Porto Rico bill,
as Judged by our Republican ex-
changes. seems to have been due to the
fear that II Porto Rico were admitted
on a free trade basis the Philippines
would have to be and that such an
outcome would arouse laboring men
against the Republican party. 1t was
the imminence OF the Presidential con-
test and not a construction of the or
ganic law which compelled the afirma-
tive vote. Doubtless many Republi-
cans found the tariff opposed to their
convictions, but were ready to put it
through for political advantage or to
escape harm to the party. leaving the
Supreme Court to act upon the issue Of
constltutIonality.

An ocean laundry" is new feature
of the Mediterranean tourist trip now
being made by the steamship New
England, which Is now on the voyage
from Boston for the sunny Mediterra-
mean shores with some 525 passen-
gers. AS the round trip will occupy
nine weeks the advantages of having
a laundry on board will be appreciated
by the tourists. The plant can handle
on an average 1000 pieces of linen per
day. and has a capacity for doing the
entire washing for about 500 people. 1t
has daily consumption of so barrels
of soap, 20 barrels of starch and 1000
gallons of fresh water that is condens-
ed on board. All the apparatus OF
steam mangle, washing and ironing
machines are included In the equip
ment, one machine, 1t Is stated, being
capable OF ironing from eight TO ten
thousand collars and cuffs per DAY be-
sides other articles.

ferec a reward of 100000 for the ar
rest and conviction Of the murderer of
Senator Goebel. This is sos 900 more
than the Federal Government offered
for the apprehension Of the man who
killed Abraham Lincoln. Decent pub
lie sentiment in Kentucky Is protesting
against the offer because OF the temp
tation it affords TO INSCRIPTIONS peo-
pie to swear away the life Of some in

than for two scoundrels to make $50
900 apiece by putting up a case against

resentative Republican OF Kentucky

Their Grsveclothes Always Ready
A peculiar custom prevails among
East Pennsylvania German farmers.
They nearly all, old and young, make
it point, it Is said, to have their
graveclothes ready when death comes.
1t Is a common thing to find a special
bureau drawer set apart for such ha-
biliments, with directions for burial
written out in detail. Cray silk is
much used for wedding gowns, as the
color is also preferred to white or black
for burial robes. One unusual request
of an old lady before she died was that
a plate, cup and saucer, knife and fork
and spoon should be placed in her cof-
fin. She had used the articles for sew
enty years and did not wish anyone
else to have them. All sorts of strange
desires are made by those who are ap-
preaching their end.
