CHEEREO ON
THEIR WAY
Forty Missionaries
Welcomed to
Honolulu.
MANY ADDRESSES
MARK MEETING
The Workers Are Bound for Or
iental Fields and Are Received
by Many Town People.

Forty adult missionaries who are pas
sengers on the steamship China en-
route to various fields of labor in Japan
Korea and China, were greeted last
evening at the Young Mems Christian
Association hall by the members of
various churches and religious organ
iZations of Honolulu The greetings
were of the heartiest nature and the
visitors We're made to feel that In mid
Pacific they were most welcome guests,
The reception. which was arranged
hurriedly during the day, was most
successful and the hall was thronged
from eight until ten o'clock. There had
been no attempt at decorating the hall
owning to the lack of time. Light re-
freshments, with cooling lemonade,
were served during the evening, and
conversation was INDUCED in most
heartily before the last good-byes were
said.
The guests arrived at O'clock and
for half an hour the visitors and towns
people We're made acquainted with each
other. Although sixty-five of the pas
sengers of the China We're missionaries
twenty-five are children and did not
attend the gathering. When the visit
ors had been made at home, Secretary
Brown of the Y. M. C. A, called the
gathering to order and asked the Rev
Mr.. Gulick to make an address of well
come. The speaker then called upon
the Rev. Hiram Bingham, one of the
oldest of the missionaries in the ISL
ands. Miss Chamberlain, representing
the Woman's Board of Missions in Ha-
wall, followed DR.. Bingham and well
coined them in the name of the sister
hood.
The Rev. Frank Damon, whose name
is always associated in Hawaii with the
mission work in China, spoke familiar
ly upon the work to which the majority
of the visitors were returning, and babe
them God speed in their task to teach
the gospel in the East. Mr.. Damon sug-
gested that speeches should be made
by some of the visiting missionaries,
and DR.. Ahrnfelter from Korea, spoke
upon the work of the missionaries and
thanked the townspeople for their hos
pitality. Mr.. Atwater, missionary of
the American Board in China, followed
DR., Hart, a missionary of the Methodist
Board from Central China, where he
was born, made a brief address. He
is returning to his field of labor with
his wife and their three children, the
latter also having been born in China.
The speechmaking was followed by a
general talk in which the visitors ex-
pressed their gratitude for the man
ner in which they had been received
and given the best of opportunities for
taking in all the sights of the city.
About 200 people We're present at the
reception.

Things That n Hen shouId Have,

III order for a hen of q certain weight
to produce an egg of a certain size or
weight she must have just enough
wholesome food. Her system must not
be overtaXed by too much or starved
by too little. In fact, everything must
be conducive to the comfort Of the hen
If continuous yield of eggs IS expect
ed. The quarters must be dry, warm
and clean; the hen must not be allowed
to remain in idleness, for this will sure
ly lead to bad habits. Besides, it is
contrary to nature for hen to have
nothing to do, and nothing tends to
produce good health and to keep a hen
in laying condition like exercise. 1t
brightens her up, makes her thrifty
and vigorous, and In severe cold wealth
er lively exercise helps to keep her
warm. The egg contains a variety of
substance, and so the food Of the hen
must be varied accOrdingly-grain of
different kinds, bone and meat, vegeta-
bles, lime and one other article which
should never be overlooked, and that Is
grit If you wish hens to do their best
in producing eggs all winter, see that
the flocks are not too large or too many
crowded in the house. Fifty good hens
well cared for will give better satisfac-
tlon and greater returns than 100 half
kept. AS general thing, it is not the
large flock that is making the clear
profit for the poultry raiser, but the
small lots that are well kept,-V. Nj.

NJ. Il. Hutchison gave an exhibition
the other afternoon in New York of
his instrument to make the deaf hear.
Among the physicians present were
DR.. +. Gruening, DR.. Gorham Bacon
and DIR. Frederick Whiting. Several
deaf mutes from the New York Insti-
tute For Deaf and Dumb were also
present, and the test was generally
successful, says the New York Sun.
All the mutes except one, who was to-
tally deaf, were made to distinguish
various sounds. The machine intensi-
fies the articulation Of sounds, but does
not increase the volume. A whisper
through the machine Is heard more dis
tinctly than a shout. The machines
are easily portable, being attached to
small dry battery so formed that it
can be worn inside the coat. 1t has a
transmitter and receiver somewhat
similar to those parts Of the telephone.

Washington. That, l believe, is fully
equal to the best transmission that has
ever been accomplished by the Marconi
method. Our system is quite distinct
from his and is being developed along
our own lines.
1--WE succeeded in sending messages
for some distance from a staff only
three feet high. We established regu-
lar communication between the labora-
tory and Washington, gu miles. Une or
our men has q farm near Fort Myer,
Va, Just across from Washington. A
staff 100 feet high was on the place,
and at the top we placed our instru-
ments. We were able to communicate
with the island as regularly and as
freely as though we were working over
a wire. The speed of the waves was
practically that Of light.
I'VE used q system of dots and
dashes, and our receiver was Of the
'sounder' type. We read messages by
sound. We expect, however, to develop
a receiver that will record messages.
Notwithstanding our success it does
not seem that wireless teiegraphy is
developed yet to the point where it
can be used for ordinary commercial
purposes on land. The earth disturb

South American politicians, he has
feathered his own nest well while in
office and need have little fear as to his
financial future. General Castro Is
about 40 years Of age and is hard

been a Liberal and has long been prom

General Andrade, who will probably
reoccupy in the near future the Casa
Amarillo, or yellow House." as the
executive mansion of Venezuela is call
ed, is well known in Washington. He
served as Venezuelan minister to this
country during the administration Of
President Cleveland and was very pop
ular in the diplomatic corps. Senior
Andrade has had much experience as
diplomat and speaks English fluently.
Although Venezuela has an area Of
566, 159 square miles and is a country
very rich in soil and in minerals, its
this only about per cent is white. The
rest are Indians, negroes or of mixed
race. Some parts of the country have
never been thoroughly explored and re-
main exactly as they were 400 years
ago. Naturally, as the country lies be-
tween l and Il degrees north of the
equator, it is in parts very hot, but the
heat is tempered by the mountainous
nature of much Of the surface. Ca.

coast, has a climate that ranges be-

The state religion of Venezuela is Ro'

is extended toward all other faiths,
There are three distinct classes In Ven.
ezuela, the ruling class, the commercial
class and the lower class. To the first
belong the real rulers Of the country,
the politicians and soldiers, although
the bulk CT the army of the republic Is
recruited from the third or lower class.
To the second class belong the busi'
ness men, the merchants Of the towns,
the cattle raisers Of the interior and
others.
The remainder Of the population com.
prises the third class, the lower orders
Of the towns, the workers on the farms
and plantations and those Of the Indian
population who are subject to the re-
public. Professional and educated men
usually turn their attention to politics
and run the country, SO that there Is
really in the so called republic little
semblance to our form of government.
The chief products Of Venezuela are
coffee and sugar. About one-ffth OF
the population is engaged in agr!cul-
ture. In 1898 the exports OF Venezuela
amounted to $3.50, ,624 and the imports

An Explanation OF Otherwise iRez-

accidents la the party was u member Of

Every year there are hundreds of ele-
vator accidents. and very few Of them are
from the breaking Of cables or brakes.
The majority of the cases on record can
be traced to this one fact: The victim
stepped into the shaft Now, why on
earth would n sane man do such thingt
Why, he simply thought he saw the eeva-
tor car in lis accustomed place, and when
he stepped on what he thought was solid
floor he went to his death. The first of
these remarkable elevator accidents that
was ever noticed came to light in the min
ing regions of Colorado. Years ago | was

mortally injured. but before he died he
told the doctor that he saw the cage at
the shaft.
Since that time there have been any
number of accidents Df like nature in
the mines out west. Sometimes the VIC
tins were all, killed at once, but those
who survived always swore that they

lieve that those who lose their lives by
stepping into open elevator shafts really
see the elevator car. 1t is one of the
most fatal optical illusions in the world,
but such it must be. The victim has be-
come accustomed to seeing the cage at
the shaft when he reeds it, and the pic

The WOman's Hotel,

1t really looks as though the wOman's
hotel were going to be built. OF course
there is still a little doubt about tt
that seems as inseparable part as its
front door-but matters are shaping
themselves rapidly. There is scarce a
woman who is not interested in this
project. Those who 1--we in town see
the enormous need of such a hoStelry,
and those who live elsewhere look on 1t
as a possible haven for themselves,
But 1t seems like one of those things
which are too good to be true. The
housing Of WOmen-that Is the odious
but correct term, | believe-iS a prob
lem only second to the housing of the
poor, and one which the women have
been ingeniouSlr settling for them
selves. Some fly to the boarding house
and lOath it; some keep house cooper
atively in fiat and weary Of the lack
Of privacy; some ''prig in the studio"
and are but half nOurished; others take
rooms and depend on the cheap tables
d'hote.
But all these are a WEAKNESS TO the
flesh, besides having deplorable effects
on the spirits. Therefore the woman
worker in New York, whether student
or wage Garner, looks eagerly to the
woman's hotel as happy haven where
she may anchor safely and where eX-
penses shall not be too high. The enor-
nous numbers of girls and women who
live outside of our city and who find
1t necessary to come here are equally
excited over the prospect Of definite
refuge. In the opinion of many wise
women, they would far better not
come, for New York Is more than over
