Bishop Willis has issued an interdict
against Rev. John osborne of st. Glenn
ent's Chapel on the ground that he
has separated himself from the Angll-
can Communion by filing a deed of con-
veyance to the Episcopal Church al
Large" new sect or "schism." He
also takes issue with the Church De-
tense and Extension Society on similar
grounds. 1t is a schismatic body which
the Bishop would not recognize If he
met it in the middle of the road. we
know of no way for Rev. Mr.. osborne
to proceed except to interdict the An
glican Church of Hawaii, which seems
to be an organization unrecognized by
the Archbishop of Canterbury on the
one hand and unaffiliated with the
American Episcopate on the other BY
all means let Mr.. Osborne unloose a
bull against the sturdy old fighter OF
Nuuanu and then let the best COM

AGRICULTURAL APATHY.

II is to be regretted that the attempt
to get a meeting of those interested in
the project of Territorial Fair should
have resulted in so small a gathering as
met in the High school last evening.
Perhaps a mistake prevented the at
tendance of some who are really inter-
ested in the matter. The object is GER
tainly worthy of serious interest
A we'll planned and well gotten up
Territorial Fair would do much to pro-
mote diversified agriculture, of which
we have heard so much during the last
few years. 1t would show the small
farmer what is practicable for him to
plant, and it would show the Honolulu
consumer his source of supply. If 1t
should result in a produce exchange in
Honolulu, it would in a short time ma
terially reduce the percentage of our
imports from the Coast. AT present 1t
is an undisputed fact that much is i'm
ported which would better be produced
right here This applies to many kinds
of vegetables, to a number of fruits,
especially citrus fruits. and to dairy
products. If the producers in these
lines could meet anu compare results
in the way of an exhibit, and if they
could at the same time meet the con-
sumner at the exhibit, the result could
hardly fail to be an impetus to diversi-
fed agriculture.
If the fair should result in a perma-
nent exhibit of varied products of the
Islands it would contribute to an intel
ligent appreciation of the possibilities
of the country on the part of the in
tending small farmer.
It is understood that another meet
ing for the same purpose will be called
soon, and ii is to be hoped that our
substantial citizens will turn out and
give the enterprise assurance of sue
cess.

Khalifa Coined His Own Money.

Henry 5. Welcome, who has recent
ly returned from a seven months ex.
ploration In Africa, tells an interest
ing story of the financial policy of the
Khalifa of the Sudan, who was the
successor of Ell Mahdl In command of
the wild tribes in that part of Africa.
1t carries a moral of interest to the
United States and other civilized ma
tons. This khalIfa, finding his peo-
pie In need of q currency, coined dol
lars of copper, taking the material
from the sheeting of boats that had
been wrecked on the Nile. 1t was the
unlimited coinage Of an irredeemable
dollar, and the khalifa issued a decree
that the right hand of any one who re-
fused to recognize it as legal tender
should be cut off. On one side the
coin bore his bust, on the other side a
pair of crossed lances, and the design
was not inartlstic. Mr.. Welcome OBJ
tanned the dies and brought them with
him to London.
For several years the khalifa sup
ported himself and his Government by
the issue of this copper money, paying
all salaries and for all supplies with
1t. After two or three people had had
their hands cut of for refusing to ac-
cept it In payment, it became the cur
rency Of the Sudan. When the Eng
fish overthrow him its value vanished
and the coins are now worthless ex-
cept as curiosities.-Chicago Record

What Arc the Bounds of Creat,on9

NshoS hAc tno bOuDuS Oh Cfeat10nf
1t may occur to some persons that
we cannot conceive of an end of space.
and it Is hardly likely that infinite
space would exist without matter; and
hence that the universe necessarily is
Infinite, says L. ]. J. See In the Attain
tic. This argument proceeds upon the
suppOsitiOn that we can conceive all
things which exist-an admission hard
ly warranted by experience. For as
we can conceive of many things which
do not exist, SO also there may exist
many things Of which we can have
no clear conception; as, for example,
a fourth dimension to space, or
boundary to the universe.
Thus while our senses conceive space
to be endless, it does not follow that
the universe is in reality of infinite
extent; much less can the absence of
an empyrean prove that the cosmos Is
finite. even to our experience; for this
effect may be due to dust In space, or
the uniform absorption of light by the
ether. In the exploration Of the ST.
dereal heavens it is found that the
more powerful the telescope the more
stars are disclosed, and hence the prac.
teal indications are that In most di.
rections the sidereal system extends
on indefinitely. But the possible uni.
form extinction of light due to the
imperfect elasticity of the luminifer-
GUS ether, and the undoubted Absorb
ton of light by dark bodies widely diff
fused in space, seem to forever pre-
clude definite answer to the question
of the bounds of creation.

Hint to People With "Places. :"

1t Is now quite the fashion for peo-
pie who live in the country, says the
London Mail. to put on their notepaper
the nearest railway station, telegraph
office and postal town. 1t often hap
pens that these are several miles from
the address on the notepaper.
Lord Salisbury has fallen In with
this latest device in a very novel and
amusing way. At first sight the Hat
field nOtepaper looks like O picture
puzzle. but If the little pictures are
carefully examined 1t dawns upon the
recipients of letters from the Prime
Minister that the railway engine, the
telegraph pole and wires intimate that
kilograms should be sent to Hatfield.
and that the latter place is also the
nearest railway station to the Pre-
mier's house.

come over here know perfectly well
the valve OF English money, and of
English goods too. Yet, after all, the
fruiterer Is perhaps only foreshadow-
ing the inevitable. We are having a

take" Mr.. Seton Thompson writes.
For It exposed them to enemies. A
great marsh hawk saw them, and he
came swooping along sure Of getting
one in each claw. Run for the rushes!
called out the Mother Greenwing, and
run they all did, pittering over the sur.
face as fast as their tired little legs
could go. Run! rum cried the moth
er, but the hawk was close at hand
now. In spite Of all their running he
would be on to them in another sec.
ond. They were too young to dive;
there seemed no escape when just as
he pounced the bright little mother
gave a great splash with all her
strength, and, using both feet and
wings, dashed the water all over the
hawk. He was astonished. He
sprang back into the air to shake him
self dry. The mother urged the little
ones to Keep onr and keep on they
did. But down came the hawk again;
again to be repealed with shower of
spray. Three times did he pounce.
and three times did she drench him.
Now all the downlings were safe In
the friendly rushes, the angry hawk
made a lunge at the mother, but she
could dive. and, giving good-by
splash, she easily disappeared"

Sailing Poultry.

There is an impression abroad that
salt is deadly poison to poultry,
which is true only under certain cir
cumstances. 1t is not generally known
that poultry could be sailed as regu-
larly as any other stock, and when
this is attended to there is no danger
that fowls will eat enough salt to kill
them.
Salt Is absolutely necessary to con.
tinued health, and where it is with
held the craving for it becomes SO
great that when it can be got at an
overdose is taken, and after that all
that remains to be done is to bury the
corpse after the inevitable has hap
pened, for death is certain.
In sailing poultry the clean salt
should not be used as, IL this were
done, some Of the fowls would get an
overdose, through the natural greedi-
ness Of fowls. The salt should be
given in some kind Of mash; 1t does
not matter much what this is COM
posed Of. Cornmeal, wheat, bran or
any other kind Of ground feed, wet I'D
with water or milk and sailed a little
more than the same amount of food
Tor human consumption would be
should be fed at least twice a week.
The reason fowls eat to excess when
they begin to crave salt and have an
opportunity to get at it is because they
have no means Of knowing when they
have enough except through inability
to swallow any more. They simply
eat until their crops are full before
they quit. A man eats as long as food
tastes good to him because the food
goes to the stomach direct, and as soon
as he has had enough his food does
not taste good and he quits. A fowl
lind something that tastes good and
eats as long as the supply lasts or un-
til the crop is filled to the limit.
IL has been recorded of men long
deprived of salt that when they could
get 1t they ate until they were made
SICK, and 1t is the same with fowls

ChurninS Temperatures.

Churning consists In bringing the fat
glObules of milk and cream together
under such conditions that they will
adhere and form butter. When the
temperature Is too high the fat has
little consistency, and small particles
of butter formed are so easily torn up
again that separation Is not efficient.
Under such conditions, Also the but
ter is soft and Of poor quality.
If the temperature should be above
the melting point of the fat 1t will be
impossible to obtain butter by any
amount of churning. On the other
hand, when the temperature is too low
the fat gfobules are hard and do not
readily adhere to each other, and I'M
der this condition, also, churning is
difficult
The most favorable temperature will
depend upon the melting point or con-
sistency of the fat, and as this is SUBJ
1ect to considerable variation 1t is i'm
possible to fix temperature which viii
give the best results under all condi-
tons.
The consistency of the fat In milk
is affected by the breed of COW, by the
feed which she receives and by the
period of lactation. As a rule, cream
from Holstein or Southern cows should
be churned at lower temperature
than that from Jersey cows. When
succuient feed is given the tempera
ture should Always be lower than
when dry feed is given. AS the ne.
Rod of lactatiOn advances the fat be-
comes harder and the temperature of
churning should be raised.
Inc amount of fat in cream Is an
other factor which affects the temper.
allure of churning, it being practicable
to churn rich cream at a lower tenn
perature than poor cream. Generally
low temperature gives a firmer aad
better quality of butter, and a good
rule to follow is to churn at as low
temperature as possible and have the
churning completed in from thirty to
nifty minutes. This temperature may
vary, under different conditions, from
forty degrees Fahrenheit to over sixty
degrees Fahrenheit, and should be de.
termined for the cream which he han.

Prince Edward to he n Sailor,

The British public is only beginning

few years. His present education con-
sists of few short daily lessons given
by Mile. Bricka. for many years COM
