The bodies Of dead animals nre con
vcrtcd into fertilizer by some farmerH,
but something depends upon circum-
as to the advisability Of 30 do
ing. II an animal dies of some con.
tagious disease and In buried III"
earthworms will bring TO the surface
the germs Of the disease. This fact
was demonstrated by Pasteur, the ia.
nous French chemist, who made tests
Ia that direction. Disease was com.
m%unlcated TO animals that ate grass
which grew over the body Of u buried
animal. The better plan Is to commune
the bodies of diseased animals, or sub
ject them to a bath Of sulphuric acid
after death, in order to destroy w
germs OF disease.

THE CRY OF THE HUcKSTER.
Appeals 10 q Novel Manner to This
Writer

ApHralt ~ NeNNt
Writer.
Speaking Of the sounds OF a city,"
said II studious young man to a New
Orleans Times Democrat reporter, 81
have found the cry Of the huckster
TO be a rather instcresting study, and
4 have wondered if these crying fell
lows impress other men as they inn
press me. There is a world Of hui
manity in the way they call out what
eyer wares they have to sell. They
seem to represent all the tempera-
mcnts Of %hb.naniiy. all the passions
and all the varying impulses. There
is the comical huckster, whose very
voice seems to carry with it all the
elements Of the jet. 1t is a sort Of
rollicking, ringing comicality, and
one will almost burst into daughters on
hearing il. The sound is distinctive
in it, humorousness, and really the
fellow does convert fun into capital,
and no doubt his whole business de-
ponds on the way he calls out TO his
customers. 1t is stock and trade and
all things else with him. Then there
is the serio-comic fellow, whose yell
ing is u sort Of mock jesting, some
what after the whistle of the grave
ward. But in this case. too, there
seems to be- a sort Of capital in the
voice of the man, and his sales no
doubt depend much upon the way IN
which he calls out to his customers.
There il the mclodrnmntic huckster,
whose cry partake. somewhat OF barn
storming and things Of that sort.
There is the dcep-lunged groan which
sounds somewhat like the last sad
gurgle Of some soul which is passing
swiftly into the silence. Again one
may hear the soft. p~laintiye cry which
seems TO indicate that The fellows
good, werc. about to perish before he
could sell them. May be 50, too. May
be his greens are about to wither and
grow rusty. and the othcrthings Of his
stock in trade may be- about to pas,
beyond the selling stage. At any
rate the cry would seem 10 say SO,
There is another cry, a sharp, shrill
shrek. like unto the crack Of doom,
carrying with it somewhat Of def
! ance. somewhat Of desperation and ut
p Ter da%re-dcyilnos,. il ! may say il.
! This. is the intimidating cry. and
the fellow goes at il in a way to pro-
duce the best results. Thus runnotl
the cry Of the huckster, and il Gov
I ers all the ranges Of sound and all
r the variant moods Of human nature
; The cry that will appeal to n mar
I will not reach another. Different
B methods Of crying ont ones wares viii
: reach different men. These awfu
I sounds, which 60 shrieking into one
ears, or slip into them, according Il
= is kind, seem TO be among the ncces
Il sary noises Of the modern city. The,
: have always been since men begal
c to gather in cities, and since one par
Of the human family began TO depen'
upon the other for at least a portion
o Of its %sustenance, 1t may rouse on
n from ones slumber, when the eyelid
| are heaviest, but this becomes neces
Il ! sary in the course Of human trade
&c Moral, as George Adee would put il
is II you want the huckster's true
s. you must hear the huckster's cry, an,
in the quiet Of the morning, too
when your ear hangs heavily on tn
II rillnu.

Session.

suspension of rules took up the resolu-
ton of Representative Makekau request
ing the senate committee on rules to
meet with the same committee of the
house to carry all bills passed by both
houses to the governor for his signature
was adopted.
Senator Crabbe gave notice of a bill
to be introduced by him creating the
city and county of Honolulu, and also
draft of a charter for thep roposed
city and county of Honolulu.
Senator Carter said he was not treat
ed right in regard to a substitute bill
reported by the majority of the judi
ciary committee. He said ordinary de-
cency and courtesy would entitle him
to some consideration at the hands of
the majority Of the committee and as
he had not seen this bill he thought no
action should be taken on it and that
it was the third time he had been treat
ed in that way since being on the COM
mittee.
Senator Crabbe moved to reconsider
Bill No. 5, defining the beginning of the
biennial fiscal period of the Territory of
Hawaii. A little wrangling was done
and the rules were referred to in order
to settle the question whether or not
a motion to table the motion was in
order. The motion to reconsider the bill
prevailed.
Senator Kaiue gave notice of a bill
amending certain sections of the COM
piled laws relating to taxation. House
Bill No. 2, relating to an emergency
appropriation to be used in repairing
damage caused by the late storms was
referred to the printing committee.

crimes and misdemeanors, were ad-
vanced to their second reading in the
Senate.
Senate bills No. "a, to secure ade-
quate registry of property and No. 9S,
to provide legible and uniform record
ing of instruments and documents re-
CURED by law to be recorded, were re-
ferred to the committee on Public
Lands and Internal improvements.
Senate Bill No. 80, an act to abolish
capital punishment within the Terri
