AMICIAL TIME.

The households of Honolulu are all
dis-organized today. The harmless but
necessary cook is taking his annual
holiday There are those who unthink-
ingly grumble at the custom, but after
all it is a very small percentage of his
time that the Chinese house servant
asks for. Give him his three days at
the New Year, and he will work week
days and Sundays throughout the rest
of the year. He never asks for every
other Sunday out" he does not bury
half a dozen grand mothers during the
twelve revolving months, he honestly
does his work and saves his wages. One
cannot begrudge the household servant
his holiday, when he has been faithful
for the full year.
Now is the time when the matron
of the household shows her skill. If
pater familias has chosen a helpmeet
who is practical and a thorough house
keeper he will be fed rather better than
he is at other times, for his food will
be prepared by a skillful master hand.
If he has taken unto his bosom fash
ion plate, a peg upon which to hang
pretty garments and gimcracks and
jewelry he will get nothing to eat at
home, and will have to fly to the hotels
or the grill to get his food.
1t is a very searching time and there
is probably no other during the year
which more thoroughly shows the capa-
bilities of the house wife, Under the
rule of the true house wife every thing
goes smoothly and the absence of the
servants is barely noticed. Under the
pseudo-house wife every thing is at
skies and sevens and things get as bad
as at the annual spring cleaning at
home, a type of marital torture which
we are mercifully spared here.

The effort did not prove a success, and

they need.

The troops upon the Indiana are
suffering from dysentery. The medical
authorities on board have kept such
sufferers from coming ashore. It is
hard on the patients undoubtedly, but
is very much to the advantage Of the

THE BOWMAKER IN THE CAR.
A Novel Way of Making Money Ex.
hibited by n Young Woman
Going Home.

The girls who gave an interesting
exhibition of new and seemingly
profitable industry all got into the car
together and sat down in row.
There were six of them, and five de-
voted their entire attention to the
sixth, who bore herself with the calm
ness of conscious superiority. From
their dress and appearance it was evil
dent that they were on their way
home from the factory or the shop.
From their conversation it appeared
that some social function of large i'm
portance to them was to take place on
the following evening. Each of the
five carried in her hand small parcel
wrapped up in paper. They waited in
manifest impatience for the sixth to
declare herself, says the New York
Sun.
"You first, Mary" she said, in n busi-
nesslike way, when she was ready to
begin operations.
Mary handed over her parcel. The
other passengers looked on with in
terest. The girl opened the parcel,
took out from it piece of new ribbon,
perked her head on one side and
studied the ribbon.
ITS for my hair said Mary, rather
timidly.
The other girl nodded, studied the
ribbon some more, crossed her knees,
laid the ribbon on the resting place
so formed, and with remarkably deft
fingers began twisting it in and out
and pulling it this way and that. Pres
emily she stopped and held it up, and
the other passengers saw that it had
| become a bow. She laid it against
| Mary's hair, studied its effect, twisted
and pulled 1t some more and then
handed it to Mary.
"Ten cents" she said.
Mary handed over ten cents. The
girl put her money into her purse and
turned to another of her companions
"You next" she said.
ITS for my neck" said the one ad.
dressed, handing over her parcel.
This parcel also contained rib.
bon, which was fashioned into a bow
for the neck and fitted on it's owner
who turned over ten cents like the
first when the bow was made. A
third girl then presented her parceI
with its ribbon. The bowmaker worked
fast and skillfully, without paying any
attention to the curious looks cast al
her and her work by the other people
in the car. The bows were so stylish
ly fashioned that it was probable thai
she was employed by dressmaker OF
a millner. At any rate she was abb,
to earn so cents, ten from each Of hel
companions, before she got off tn,
car, and their pleased looks of admira
tion at the bows indicated that the,
thought the money well spent.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Edmond Rostrand, the famous
Ffensn novelist, owes his poor health
largely to his hard work. He writes
nearly all the day and far into the
night.

part of Paderewski. Like the pianist,
too, he began, his career with dire

One of the most profitable side in.
iustries growing out of the manufac.
ture of paper came from the discov.
cry of the fact that casein was vast.
ly better than the glue formerly in
use for putting the heavy coating on
the finer grades of paper. The dis.
covery was not only a bonanza for
those who made it and for those who
backed him, but also for the dairyman.
The skim milk which is left after the
cream has been taken off for butter
and other purposes, and was in the ma
ture of mere refuse for the big dairies,
is now turned into a source of profit
almost as great as that from butter
itself, from its use in the manufacture
OF casein for paper coating and sizing,
