LET Us BE THANKFUL.

The President OF the United
States of America has officially in
structed us to be thankful tomor.
row, the day he has set aside for
general Thanksgiving. Here in
Hawaii we have all possible reasons
to be thankful for the blessings,
which kind Providence has
showered on US during the past
year. When tomorrow we say
"thsnks," we feel and know, that
never before has Hawaii been as
prosperous as now. We know. that
we have surplus OF money in the
Territory, aud that money can
easily be obtained at four per cent.
thanks to the wisdom of the govern
or, with whom a kind Providence
and a President have blessed us.
We know that his reign during the
past year has been OF great benefit
to Hawaii. especially TO the Hama
kua and Kohala districts, where
rain was scarce. Is it not apleasure
to be able to behold this great, good
governor chewing bona OF q Puu-
waawaa turkey, and contemplate
that we have full treasury and an
income, water, sewer, real estate,
poll, personal property taxi We
are thankful that we had a forest
fire on Hawaii.

We are surprised that the Rapid
Transit Company has not offered
the mail carriers free rides, when in
uniform on their cars. Police o1icers
in uniform ride free, and We think il,
would be the right thing that mail,
carriers should have the came pFivi-
lege. 1t is very true that the Rapid
Transit is a Territorial institution
and is under obligation to the Ter.
ritory only, and that the mail car
riers are federal employees. Bat it
should be remembered that these
federal employees are doing their
task for the benefit of the people of
the Territory. We are the people
whose letters are delivered and all
facilities should be given to the
federal officers who thereby oblige
us. The Government in Washing
ton does not understand conditions
here. In the East $50 a month is a
big salary, here it is nothing COM
paratiyely speaking. And at that
salary carriers have to walk miles
aud miles here in broiling sun, and
now they are going to have warm
uniforms. They are not paid suffi.
ciently to allow them to pay fare
every time they could save time and
gain rest by short ride. The pub
lie would be benefited because the
letters would be delivered earlier,
aud the Rapid Transit Company
wouldn't lose a cent by granting q
free ride tothe mail carriers on duty.

Justice Garoutte related an amusing
incident which occurred to him while
crossing the Atlantic. 1.-THE band played
every night in the second cabin" he says,
"and one evening l invited my family
and few friends to visit the second cab
in and listen to the music. After a few
pieces had been played called keIlner
to me and told him to give the band a
glass of beer at my expense. paid him
the charges. the beer was brought to the
band. they stood up. ratified their glasses,
seemed greatly delighted, and said good
luck to big red faced German who was
sitting on the opposite side of the room,
and then drank their beer. He then
arose and made speech, after which the
band played Hail to the Chief amid
great applause.
II asked a gentleman who sat near me,
and who understood German, what all
the fuss was about, and he said the fell
low who had just made the speech had
treated the band to beer. 1t came over
me like shot that ! did not tip the kell-
ner, and that he had put up the job with
the red faced rman."-Argonaut.

A SPOTBLEACHER.
II VIII Clean the Piano Keys nnd
Take Out Ink Stains.

II VIII Clean the Piano Keys and
Take Out Ink Stains.
To keep piano keys clean and prevent
the discoloration of the ivory, dampen a
piece OF muslin with alcohol and with it
rub the keys. The alcohol can do no sort
Of damage TO the ivory, and il it is fire.
Quently applied the keys will stand in
want of no other treatment; but, IL they
have already begun to turn yellow, then
try rubbing them with piece of cotton
flannel wet in cologne water. Even old
and discolored ivory may be rejuvenated,
no matter what the cause of the discOl-
Grafton nor OF how long standing. An
acid, applied repeatedly. will usually re-
store the keys to their original Wilderness.
Cotton flannel cloths, wet with saturat-
ed solution of oxalic acid and water and
laid upon the keys, will remove all stains.
Care should always be taken in the use
Of such bleacher as this that it does not
touch anything from which the color is
not to be removed for it does its work
with more certainty than discretion.
This same solution of oxalic acid and
water is sometimes used in removing ink
spots, especially when the ink spot is on
paper, as on the margin of good book.
One teaspoonful of the oxalic acid and
water to make saturated solution are
the only needfuls. Dip finger In the
solution and press it gently into the ink
spot. IL this Is done repeatedly and with
out rubbing the paper, the Objectionable
blot will eventually fade from view. An
other method of removing ink marks
from paper is to mix teaspoonful of
chloride Of lime with water just suifi-
cient to cover it. Apply this with a soft
cloth, merely patting the spot. As either
intentional writing or mere blots will
yield before this sort of treatment, care
must be exercised in its use. Printing
ink is, however, quite safe from the as
saults of either lime or the acid.
Thumb marks on the pages of books
may be removed By first rubbing the spots
with soft bits of stale bread. Whatever
remains of the marks after that treat
ment may need a gentle touching up with
a Bit Of cloth dampened in the oxalic
acid and water solution. IL by any mis-
chance large and obnoxious grease spot
should fall upon page or some pages Of
q book, ii may be removed. Put O piece
of blotting paper under the spot and an
other piece of blotting paper over it and
then add the weight of warm iron.
Much Of the grease will come out and be
absorbed by the paper. Heat a very lit
tie essential oil Of turpentine till it is very
hot, then apply it to the still warm and
greasy leaf of the book, spreading 1t on
both sides with clean brush. More
clean blotting paper and a warm iron win
complete the cure.-New York Sun.

PAIN WITHOUT SUFFERING.
A Physicians View Of Phenomenon
of the Use of Anesthetics.

~
of the Use of Anesthe tics. j.
pain is a great mystery" remarked a
physician of this city who has a fondness
for the reconcile side of his profession.
1T is claimed by certain theorists that
people who are placed under the influence
Of an !, rsthetic for surgical operations
really suffer everything they would other
wise, but forget about it when they re-
turn to consciousness, and a good many
ingenious arguments are advanced 10
support the proposition. 1t is rather a
CHASTITY idea, and ! am glad to say that
the real evidence is all the other way, but
1t Is pretty well established afact that
certain an@sthetics-ether, for instance,
and nitrous oxide gas-will sometimes
prevent suffering without destroying con-
Seriousness of pain. 4
THAT sounds like a paradox and is
somewhat difficult to explain without be-
coming more paradoxical still. The eff
feet of the anpsthetic in the strange
cases to which ! refer is to render pain
pleasant While apparently insensible.
the patient is fully conscious Of every
thing that is going on, and the nerves re-
spond as readily as ever, but instead Of
producing physical discomfort the effect
is exactly the reverse.
IL have encountered several anomalies
of that kind and one quite recently. The
subject was middle aged man whose
foot had been injured in an accident.
had to amputate the two last toes, and
the operation. which was under ether,
lasted about 20 minutes. When the man
recovered from the influence of the drug,
he tried to tell me about his sensations,
but although he struggled hard he could
find no words in which to express them.
i felt all the pain he said. but some
how it didn't hurt me- Then 1t wasn't
pain, said |, endeavoring to draw him
out. oh. yes it was, he replied earnest
ly, but liked it; didn't want you to
STOP He repeated number of things
that had been said during the operation
and 1t was evident that he had been
all the while--at least conscious
Of his surroundings.
''The other patients seemed to have had
practically the same experience and en-
the same difficulties in making
themselves understood. They were try
ing to express the inexpressible. Such
instances are, Of course. rare, but they
are familiar TO almost every surgeon in
general practice. Explain them? don't
attempt to."-New Orleans Times Demo-

How smoke Travels.

A dim, dry fog prevalent in Ger
many, known as the Hohrauch, has
been traced for distance of $50
miles from ITS supposed source with
out great diminution of its intensity
or distinctive smell. 1T is commonly
attributed to the extensive burning
of peat in North Germany, where the
tillers of the soil will at certain sea-
sons hoe up the rank growth of their
fields and burn it on large scale. a
haze of very similar description has
been observed in New England and
Upper Canada; so also, according to
Livingstone, in the Barotse valley;
the cause in all cases being assigned
to the extensive burningy often at q
great distance, of grass or forest tim
ber. The self-same results must be
looked for in the case of the burning
of coal on an equally gigantic scale
in London, with the one difference
that the effect must be incomparabiy
more pernicious.-London Mail.

FEW ORATORS IN PARLIAMENT
British Statesmen Are Not Distin-
guishcd for Their Forensic
Eioqucnce.

Although the British parliament has
doubtless developed some ora tors of
exceptional power, the ma iority of the
leading members cannot be classed as
eloquent men. Only few of the prom
inent men in parliament to-day, it is
said, are really effective speakers from
the popular point of view. There is no
best days, though, taken as whole,
the general level of debate has never
been so high. Joseph Chamberlain is
the man who seems 10 awake greatest
interest by his force of expression and
his frequent gestures-the swift move
ment of the arms, as, with his finger
uplifted and body bent forward, he
develops his arguments, and the smit-
ing of clenched fist on open palm as
he drives his point home, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Mr.. Balfour is not at all like Cham
berlain. Only under great stress of
emotion does he strike the table or
strike his hands together. He rather
suggests the need of some prop as he
leans weariedly against a dispatch box
and stretches out languid arm and
lily-white hand to emphasize point.
He is not fluent and often seems to be
soliloquizing, like veritable Hamlet.
Mr.. Wyndham is almost too polished,
while the graceful oddings Of his head
and the studied movements of his arm
distract attention and weaken the
force of his statements. Mr.. Brodrick
is the automaton of the conservative
party, and except for curious Jerk of
his arm and an occasional thump on
the table his words follow one another
with machinelike regularity.
The liberal bench possesses speakers
with mannerisms quite as marked as
the ministerial bench. Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman has curious little
trick of tanning himself with any slip
of paper which comes handy. But be-
yond an occasional thump upon the
table or q sudden clutch at the silk
cloth of his frock coat, he does not
inspire terror. Sir William Harcourt
is the largest figure in his party, and
every member of parliament is famil
lar with the class way he thrusts one
arm into the breast of his coat as he
sits down. Mr.. Morley. as speaker,
has been said to be "a capital example
of good matter triumphing over bad
form" But he astonished the house
by his vigor recently. Mr. Asquith
prepares his speeches with minute
care, and he delights in sonorous
phrases and long words. But the move
ments of his hands are curiously quick
and nervous as he seizes a paper or
brings the fiat of his palm down on the
table.
