Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lot'
of fun. That is the regulai-
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing thc
monkeys with SCOTS Emu1-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkcys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

is the increasin; tendency OF the
Hawaiians to becom, beggars and

is never seeking charity although
generous as be is, Q seeks friend

nothing aod he expects the same
feeling towards him from his friend.

THAT SETTLES THEM.

A. N. Kepoikai, A. B. Loebeustein
and Geo. d. Gear need not apply
for any political support from Ba-
waiians in the future. Kepoikai
will feel the result OF bis foolish
action in signing an idiotic PRO.
test" against Wilcox; LQebensteiu
will become more Insignificant than
be ever was, and Gear will be our
judge who is laughing in his sleeve
at the other two conspirators whose
friends money he got and spent, in
securing for himself a judgeship.
The briefin theWilcox case is before
us. For the benefit OF every Ha-
waiian who belongs to the Inde-
pendent party and who stand loyal
ly by Wilcox we publish the con-
clusion OF the brief which openly
shows the conspiracy OF the three
men to whom we have referred. 1t
reads:
1--WE respectfully submit that as
there existed no statute providing
mode of machinery for holding an
election for Delegate, no act Of the
officers of the Territory in calling
for such an election would validate
+, and that it is beyond question
that no legal election could be held.
We, therefore, confidently ask that
the seat of Mr.. Wilcox be declared
vacant on this ground as we'll as up.
ON the ground Of his disloyalty. We
submit that his confession to the
sending of the letters introduced in
eviden 20 is tautamount to a 'con-
fession in open court, 90 far as this
Honorable Com mittee is concerned,
and as the eyes Of the native Ha-
waiians, as we'll as other residents in
Hawaii, are now turned toward the
United States watching what Con.
gress will do 10 his sslf.confessed
traitor. it becomes the daty OF Con.
gress to Gust him and return him to
his nstituents, so that thereby
they may be- admonished, in the
words of former President of the
United States, that none but per.
sons loyal TO the United States will
be allowed voice 10 the legislative
councils OF the Uation.' Let it not
be said that this Fifiy.sixth Con-
gress estabiish he'd the precedent OF
having such a man as RobArt w.
Wilcox confesses himself to be, sit
in the councils of the nation with

Government has been touched. III
the Legislature believes that the
Governor will make an extension OF
the term, it will be sadly mistaken.
Nothing could suit Mr.. Dole better
than to gee the Legislature go home
and allow things to run on as they
do now for the coming two years,
and that is what he can do under
the provisions Of the Organic Act.
1t must be remembered that the
Independents majority in the Senate
is not very strong as was sho wn yes
terday when Senator White failed
twice to carry a motion of the pre-
vious question, and when, on an i'm.
portant measure, Senators Kanuha
and Kaohi voted with the Repub.
licans in spite OF the bosses OF the
Home Rule Party. That Senators
Cecil Brown. Carter aud Achi are
obstructionists can easily be seer,
but what are you going to do about
1t, il even Senator White caunot
muzzle them by moving the previous
question: We understand that the
policy of the Independents is to
bring in an appropriation bill and
pass the amount 10 a lump sum
without going through the formal
ity Of passing it item by item. We
presume it can DO done, but we be-
lieve that the plan will hardly find
favor among those members OF the
party, who have a number OF addi-
tional requests for appropriations up
their sleeves, and want them insert
ed at the last moment. We also feel
confident that Governor Dole would
veto such method and decline 10
sign an appropriation bill, the items
OF which had not been publicly
scrutinized aud passed upon by tho
two Houses, and the outlook is that
his veto can not be overruled except
the Legislature construes the Or
ganic Act as to mean thst in
dealing with q veto the two Houses
meet in joint session. The Act pro.
vides for the procedure OF the Legis.
lature upon receipt OF the veto in the
following section:
THAT upon the receipt OF a veto
message from the Governor each
House of the Legislature sha II enter
the same at large upon its. journal
aud proceed to reconsider such bill
or part Of a bill, and again vote
upon it by ayes and noes, which shal
be entered upon its journal. II
after such reconsideration such bill,
or part OF bill, shalt be approved
by two thirds vote OF all mem bers
TO which each House is entitled, it
shall thereby become law"
Now, if the Legislature construes
the last paragraph of the section
where reference is made to oil
members TO aphich each House is entitled,
to mean all the members OF the
Legislature, then the Governors .
veto will be Of no account and there
will be smooth sailing ahead. 1t is
point which should be looked into
at once. If any good results are to
emanate from this Legislature, it
behooves its members to get down
to work aud cease wransling and
talkiug.

we have belore us the Onclal re-
port OF the President OF the Board
OF Health, which contains sub.re.
ports oftgreat interest. The report
from DR.. Herbert, Superintendent
Oahu Insane Asylum, shows the
wants of that important institution,
and We hope the Legislature will be
literal in its appropriations for this
nome for sufferers from mental
diseases. We know that it is q
rather ticklish task to call the at.
tention Of this Legislature to the
Asylum, but other sufferers should
not he neglected through want of ac-
commodations and necessary appro-
priations.
Sza.. :; So :. ~:
The report says in regard to ac-
Communications: "The quarters Of
the Asylum, however, are very much
overcrowded. In the woman's
ward (No. 43,.there are at present q
patients with accommodations for
but 19. The temporary building
behind ward No. 2 has relieved
somewhat the pressure for exten-
sion OF the wards for male patients,
but there is an immediate necessity
for extension of the woman's ward"
A visit to the Asylum today by
anyone who had occasion to inspect
the institution, say ten years ago,
will show great improvements 10
regard to the woman'S ward, the
employment of female nurses, and
the propristy With which insane
women are now. treated. but as>the
report says,fths ward set aside for
the female patients is absolutely in
adequate to the number of F atients.
Another addition should immedi-
ately, be made. as suggested in the
report for privat, or pay patients.
Even people OF wea'to occasionally
become crazy, especially If they
have too-much of it, and while their
friends may consi der it necessary
to place them in the Asylum, they
do not wish to see them deprived of
LLeir former luxuries or mode OF
living, and they hesitate in sending
item to the Asylum on that ground,
even il they feel that it would be
for the best OF the sufferers. The
report suggests two cottages, which
we hope will be erected at come
convenient distance from the regu-
lar wards aud equipped as the resi-
dences OF well-to-do people general.

PURE WATER FOR SHEEP.
Unless They Get Regular and Ample
Supply Disease Is Apt to Deci-
mate the Flock.

An important point in successful
sheep managementis the water supply.
While good water is a great thing in
growing all kinds of live stock, it is
especially so with the sheep. which is
not only a dainty feeder but dainty
drinker, and will only take bad, stag
nant water into its stomach when
driven to it by thirst. Not only will
it suffer for the want of drink when
the supply is bad, but it is subject to
more diseases, usually parasitic, that
have their origin in polluted water,
than any other of the domestic ami
mails. Where the focks get their sup
ply from surface water courses liable
to pollution of all kinds, sick sheep NAV
be expected with the aggravation that
it is often impossible to determine
what is the matter with the animals
or what to do for them. With such
source of supply, also, a rainy season
which washes the soil from long dis
tances and brings down accumulations
of filth, is likely to increase the amount
of obscure disease in the flock. 1t
is also no unusual cause of scours in
the lambs. We generally look for the
cause of scours in the food, but quite as
often it is due to impure water. Every
body is familiar with the disturbance
in the human family, particularly in
hot weather, which follows the use of
bad water. The stomach of the lamb,
and even the sheep is quite as suscep-
tible to dangers from this source as
is that of the shepherd. We often see
flocks on fairly good pastures, that
ought to do we'll so far as feed is con-
cerned, showing a lack of thrift and
general dizziness for which there
seems to be, at first blush, no apparent
reason, Very often an examination of
the water supply will reveal the cause

DRESSED BIRDS ARE DEAD.
The Needed Lesson That Was Given n
Fault Finding Poultry
Dealer,

During last Thanksgiving week poultry
man OF the northwest sent several barrelfuls
of fat, dressed turkeys to a certain commits
sion merchant, who is an extremely CLOSE
buyer" and never fails when he receives a
consignment to claim an allowance for some
thing alleged to have spoiled on the way.
Heretofore, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut, he had dealt exclusively in live
fowls, and probably the correspondence
clerk got things mixed. At any rate the
shipper was astonished to receive a letter by
return mail about as follows:
Dear Sir: We regret to advise you that
four of the turkeys in your consignment of
Novemb Der reached here dead. Please make
deduction for same and return correct
amount. Yours truly"
The poultryman communed with himself
and replied thus:
Dear Sir: | am sorry to say find it i'm
possible to make the concession requested. |
have established a rule requiring all Gus
toners who desire live dressed turkeys to
notify us in advance, so we can send them
in heated cars. Turkeys without feathers
and insides are liable to catch cold if shipped
in the ordinary manner The mortality
among dressed turkeys was very large this
year. Yours mournfully."

THE LITTLE BREADWINNER.
months old his mother received a great

shock. The father of little Max was a
travelling salesman and was killed in a
train wreck. The young mother and
her infant son were left with but
meager means of support. One day
Mrs. Fairchild learned that New York
photographer wanted a pretty baby
for a model and so she took her lit
tie son to his studiS. The man with
the camera was Immediately pleased
and said that the youngster was just
the one he had been looking for. The
baby was undressed as for his bath
and sat on a table merriiy cooling and
expecting his splash in the water. The
bright little face and perfect form was
all that any artist could wish. After
an hours posing there was a set of the
prettiest baby pictures that ever came
from a studio. The advertisers who
had given orders to the photographer
were decidedly pleased, and this is
how dimpled Max Fairchild became a
model, earning enough to support him
self and his widowed young mother.

WINDOW GARDENING.
Hnphnzard Care Does Not Pay with
House Plants; They Need Con-
slant Attention.

Nine-tenths of the windows used for
window gardening are too crowded
for the plants to look well or do well.
Turn new leaf right now by throw
ing away every poor or insignificant
growth. Better to buy new stock in
the spring than to turn your precious
window space into hospital ward for
sickly plants.
Keep the foliage Immediately clean.
| Wash the leaves once or twice every
week. A plants lungs are its leaves.
Showering the foliage washes the dust
out of the pores, refreshes the plant
and imparts vigor. Besides this, clean
plants do not harbor insects, the
greatest foe of the indoor garden, and
the hardest to fight.
Loosen the crusted earth at the top
of the pots. The roots need air. and
in soft, pliable earth they get it by
capillary transmission. A hard top
crust seals the soil up as though in a
| jug. Neither air nor water finds free
entrance through it. Plants in hard
soil often suffer from lack of moisture
at the roots, though water has been
given every day.
Slide the shades up to the top of
the upper sash; take down the cur
tains at the plant windows, and let
Gods invigorating sun shine in. Sun
shine to plant is what gold is to a
Klondike miner.
In extremely cold weather stay the
watering pot. Plants need little wa
ter during severe weather. and they
chill or freeze twice as quickly after a
fresh drenching. If watering becomes
absolutely necessary have it the tenn
perature of the room, and give only
in the morning. Watering in the even
ing during cold snap is to invite a
visit from Jack Frost.
Pet your plants. Turn them, train
them into shape as they grow, pick
off every dead leaf or faded flower.
HSphazard care does not pay with
house plants.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
graf
