SCHOOL LIBRARIES.


A good idea would be the establish
ment Of school libraries in all the
aarger districts, or in schools where
two or more teachers are em-
ployed. We have done a great deal Of
hard work which enables the rising
generation to read and to write, but
outside of Honolulu there is practically
no incentive for the young people to
read and to open out before their minds
the resources, the advantages and the
delights of literature.
In a few schools, a very few schools,
the energy Of the teacher and the as
sistance Of a few friends has got to-
gether some kind of a library, but it is
usually made up haphazard, and is
woefully lacking in completeness, still
on the principle that half loaf is bet
ter than no bread, so some kind of a
library is better than none at all.
The time now seems to have arrived
when public funds could be advantage
ously appropriated for furnishing the
nucleus of libraries in most of the pro-
minent schoolhouses throughout the
Territory, and the start once made, a
small sum year could be voted which
would add to and build up the libraries
as time went on.
These libraries need not be entirely
for children, though they must neces-
sarily contain a large proportion of
children's books. The country school
Libraries might however do a greater
aH nil 10 frr1,t
have the right to take out books under
certain restrictions, and scientific, agri-
cultural, and industrial works might
form proper portion Of such libraries
Once established with proper rules as
TO the class of works to be admitted,
these libraries would form a center of
culture and information for every dis
trict. There could be no doubt of their
success. 1t is very probable that bill
establishing such libraries. working out
the details, will be presented at the
coming Legislature.
Whoever draws the bill should be
careful of one thing. No sectarian or de-
nominational literature should be al
lowed in such libraries and the mandy
pamby Sunday school literature would
be thus effectually barred. With such
restrictions it is probably that such q
scheme would work for the mental ad-
vancement of the Territory far more
effectually than we at present ina
CINE. The Star believes the idea is a
thoroughly good and a thoroughly pro-
gressive one, and hopes to see it ma
terialize.

Gambling seems to be carried on to
considerable extent upon the trans
ports. The story that a man obtained
pair of loaded dice here in order to
fleece the soldiers on the way up may
or may not be true. There is a con-
siderable amount of spare time on
board ship and idle men fall an easy
prey to the regular gambling sharp. On
the passenger steamers between San
Francisco and the Orient gambling is
carried on to a great extent by the
Chinese passengers. The bankers on
board carry as much as $4,000 a trip,
and can get more money when they
touch at Yokohama.

Jim Wntson,s shoes.

Union b. Hunt, secretary of state of In
diana, tells in Success how James E. Wat
son performed his great feat of beating
w. S. Holman, the great objector," IN
their race for congress. The following in
cident is characteristic one, and Mr.
Hunt relates it WELL
II have been asked whether it is true
that Mr.. Watson actually wore wooden
shoes during this first campaign to cap
ture the German vote. This report has
been greatly exaggerated. The facts are
as follows. Watson made a very vigorous
and energetic campaign. A part of the
time he had bad weather One rainy day
he started with a medical friend to see a
number of voters. he had been up the
greater part of the night before, was tired
and sleepy, and had a very bad cold. He
said to this friend who was with him
Doc. don't want to campaign to-day;
want to go back to your house and lie
down on the floor and sleep
I'm the house of the physician was an
old-fashioned fireplace. They drove back.
Watson got a chair cushion. lay down be-
fore the fire and slept for two or three
hours. When dinner time arrived he was
much refreshed. After dinner Watson
complained OF cold feet, and his medical
friend said to him: why don't you wear
wooden shoes?' Watson replied, I haven
any, VIII send you pair OF miIle'
his friend replied; so he brought out
pair of feece-lined shoes with wooden
soles and leather uppers-shoes that are
worn quite generally by the Germans OF
that congressional district. These shoes
were put In the stove oven and warmed
and Watson put them on. and, In com
pany with his friend that afternoon no
went 10 a sale.
"He stood around on the damp ground.
but his feet we're warm the remainder lt
the day. The Germans we're very much
pleased with the fact that me eandidaie
had adopted their footwear, ana he was
pleased with their footwear because y
kept his feet warm. and continued 10
wear Il. In making this explanation Wat
son ianghinFiy says "a ala prove pifiV

when the votes we're counted u was
found that tho young man had p|ufaliif

BOUTS TO BE PULLED OFF.
sports Have Plenty of Lively Set
tos in Sight.

NOH An
Everybody who likes to see a pretty
exhibition of scientific boxing is looking
forward to fistic events that are soon to
be pulled off in Savannah. The sports.
those who are right in the swim in all
that appertains to boxing, and who keep
tab on just what the boxers are doing,
are particularly busy talking about the
bouts that have been framed up. and the
principals of the impending events are
getting in careful and systematic train
ing.
First IN the two bouts that are to be
pulled off is that between Tommie Feltz
of Brooklyn and Sammie Smith of Phil
adelphia. Both are bantam weights, and
Tommie is the fastest, quickest lad of
his size in the business. He is champion
bantam weight of the world, and has
made good his right to the title. He and
Smith will go on for twenty-five rounds.
and the Philadelphia lad will do all he
can to take Tommie's honors away from
him.
The sports will get chance day after
tomorrow night to see what there is in
Feltz. He will go up against Pete Man
zie at the Royal Music Hall for four
rounds OF course Pete is too large for
Tommie, but things will be evened up a
bit because of the fact that Pete is not
entirely himself again. 1t will be re-
membered that he got a pistol shot
through the lungs some months ago in
a row at the Royal Even prize fighter
can't stand lead in the lungs without 1t
pulling him down a bit. His friends have
been surprised to see Pete pick up so
well and ne himself believes that it will
be but a matter of a few weeks before
he is in as good shape as ever.
The smoothest thing that has ever been
booked as a preliminary has been ar
ranged for the Feltz-Smth bout. This
is a ten-round go between Tommie Cor
coran. Savannah's favorte, and Bob Dill
lon of New York, who is described as
crack-a-jack. AS the two little fellows
are TO be on for twenty-five rounds, the
sports are counting on something that
has never yet been seen here-thirty-five
rounds of boxing, and that by some of
the best in the business.
Next month some time owen Ziegler of
Savannah will go up against Jack Daily
of Wilmington Del. A hot one is looked
for there. Nobody has to tell a Savan-
nah lover of the game anything about
Ziegler, since he put Corcoran out of
business. DAILY is all right, too, because
that can be seen from his record. Ziegler
says DAILY is a tough proposition. He
has that recollection very strongly
planted in his mind, for it grew out of
a bout he once had with him. The weller
weights will probably show pretty con-
test.
DAILY, Feltz and Dillon are working at
Thunderbolt. They are putting in some
good ticks, and there is no reason why
they should not be in fine shape by the
time they are called on to enter the ring.
Smith arrived yesterday from Philadel-
phia He is going to work in ziegler's
gymnasium, which has grown TO be very
popular institution with a number of
athletic Savannahians. The public is in
vited to see the men at work at their
training quarters.

Recently a flock of sheep has been pas
tured on the golf links TO keep the grass
short. The experiment has been entirely
satisfactory and now the course is in ex-
cellent shape The greens also are in
hrst-class condition, and, though the very
warm weather keeps away from the
course all but the most enthusiastic golf
ers, the others are looking forward to
some very fine play later in the year,when
the state of the temperature will make
play less OF an effort than 1t Is now.

Fire Station, and w. j. Futch took
charge of the fire fighting force, and with
a few volunteers, managed to subdue the

Y. M. C. A. WON FIRST GAME.
DEFEATED THE C. L. AIS BY A
SCORE OF IL TO 10.

Good Playing on Both Sides and the
Game Anybody's Until the Final
Rum Was MRde-Was the Y. NJ. G
AS First Game of the Season and
the C. l.. AS Second Game-EItOu
Saved the Game for the Y. NJ. C
AS in the Ninth Inning.
The Y. NJ. c. A. ball team won holly
contested and very interesting game from
the C. L. A. yesterday, by a score of Il
to 10. 1t was the first game by the Y.
M. c. A. this season, and the second by
the c. L. A.. so that, considering the
general lack of practice, particularly that
of team work, also the execrable condi-
ton OF the diamond and the grounds gen
orally, the game was very good one.
The Y. M. c. A. was the first to the
bat, and when the three outs had been
made five runs had been piled up. O'Con-
nors arm was so sore that he could
not get much speed into the ball. which
accounts for the way he was hammered.
After this inning he was relieved by Hull.
who managed to hold down the opposing
batters very well. The c. L. AS. in their
part of the inning failed to score, but
caught up in a measure the next inning,
when they made four runs. while the other
inning the first feature of the game oc-
Cured. King making a slashing hit to
right field for three bases.
The next inning was uneventful the Y.
M. c. A. failing to score, and the c. L.
AS getting in only one, but On the fourth
inning the Y. NJ. C. A. again scored,
making two runs, and the c. l.. AS got
in another. In this inning Harmon dupli-
Gated Kings feat, for, catching low one
on the point OF his bat. he put it in right
field for three bases. The Y. NJ. c. A.
scored again in the fifth, and in the sew
enth, and the C. L. As scored in the
sixth, when they got in three runs. This
brought the score TO lilo in favor of the
X. M. C. A., where it remained till the
close of the game.
In the seventh inning Elton succeeded
King in the pitchers box. and though he
was hit often, prevented any more runs
being made. In fact it was his GOODNESS
at a critical moment that saved the game
for his team, for in the last half of the
ninth inning, with three men on bases
and only one out, he struck out two men,
retiring the side
In individual plays many of the men
on both sides distinguished themselves.
Charlton out of five times at the bat
scored four runs. Smith was in fine form
and did some splendid base running, and
Blake caught a very difficult fly after a
hard run.
There is excellent material on both
teams and after a game or two more they
will play very creditable article of ball
1t is expected that there win be a game
between the Y. NJ. c. A. and the Ogle-
thorpe's Saturday, after which another
game may be arranged between the Y
NJ. G. A. and the c. L. A.
The game was umpired by Mr.. Hockey
Germany, who proved thoroughly salts

hundred spectators. The score was.

stale Bread and New.


from sn6 Lancet.
New bread is we'll known to be less d.
gestible than stale bread although it need
not be so. There can be no question, how
ever, of the vastly superior flavor of the
former, and hence the preference of many
people for hot rolls for breakfast. So far
the palate would appear not to be a safe
guide to digestion. But rolls, however,
when masticated properly, should not Of
fer any difficulty to the digestive organs.
A slice of stale bread on being broken
with the teeth resolves into more or less
hard. gritty particles which, unless they
were softened by the saliva, would be
almost impossible to swallow The par
tic1es would irritate the throat and the
gullet. The fact is, therefore, that man
is compelled thoroughly to masticate and
to impregnate stale bread with saliva be-
fore he swallows it. This act, of course.
partially digests the bread and thus makes
it in fit state for digestion and absorp
ton farther on in the ailmentary tract.
This is why stale bread appears to be
more digestible than new bread.
New bread, on the contrary, is soft,
doughty, or plastic, and there appears to
be no necessity to soften il with saliva,
hence it escapes the preliminary diges-
tive action of the ptyalin of the saliva.
New bread, in other words, is in reality
"bolted," and boiling accounts for many
cordingly hot rolls should be enjoyed for
breakfast without any fear of dyspepsia,
so long as the bread is good and so long
as pains are taken to masticate it thor
oughly.
When dog is given a piece of meat it
will be noticed that he bolts" it. There
is not much reason why it should stay
in the mouth, for the mouth, beyond re-
ducing it by the aid of the teeth to a con-
venient mass, cannot deal with it's diges-
ton; but If the dog be given a piece of
bread, supposing he eats it at all, he will
keep it in his mouth for some time and
will almost labor over it before swallow
ing 1t. The dog thus teaches a very i'm
portant physiological lesson.
1t Is curious fact that stale bread is
not more dry than new bread, for on
submitting stale bread for short time
to high temperature ii regains it's con-
dition of newness and becomes soft or
plastic, and this in spite of the fact that
some moisture is of necessity driven off
In the operation. Ii is probable that in
new bread there is free water present,
while in stale bread the water is still
there, but in a condition of true chemical
combination, and it is the combination
which compels us thoroughly to moisten
and to masticate stale bread before We
consign it to the gastric centers.
