AGUINALDo's GENEROSITY.

In the most recent proclamation of
Aguinaldo, given out by Senior Agon-
clio, his Euro can representative, the
Filipino leader displays sense of hui
NOR genuinely hopeful. Agunaldo or
ders that all prisoners now in the hands
of the Filipinos shall be Immediately
liberated after the confiscation of their
rifles, and that they be bound by no
promises of any kind, but be furnished
every facility for returning whence
they came and a sufficient sum of mo-
ney for that purpose"
1t is in the succeeding paragraphs of
the proclamation that the example of
Filipino humor occurs. A"uinaldo an
nounces that the American soldiers
now held prisoners are to be paid SIG
each for their rifles, upon their liberia
ton, while those who surrender hence
forth will receive 81 for their rifles and
will not forced to serve in the Filipino
ranks. If such amigos" come in they
will be permitted to settle where they
choose they are to be supported by
the inhabitants and the local comman-
ders are to protect them. Aguinaldo
has had time to measure the detection
from his own ranks caused by Ameri-
can offers of money and peace. Evil
IDENTIFY he wants to test the power Of
his own bid to attract American de-
serters by the prospect of quiet life
in the LuZon hills, with Tagalo neigh
bors and tropical surroundings.

WASHINGTON, December $50
ciety is CONFUSING itself over the latest
thing whispered about at the clubs and
gossiped over. at afternoon teas in con-
nection with the snub given by Presi-
dent Mckinley to Mrs. Letter.
1t was on the recent occasion of a
fashionable assemblage at St. johns
Church when Mrs. Letter was in at
tendance. When the President arriv-
ed he was shown at once to a front pew
owned by the rector, the Rev. DR.. Mac
Kay Smith. At the conclusion of the
service, which was memorial in char
acter Mrs. Letter wearing in her bon
net handsome long white plume, rose
before any of the congregation and at
once engaged general attention by
crossing the aisle Pausing before the
President, whose establishment was all
too plainly depicted on his face, she
made a profound sweeping bow that
completely put the white plume out of
commission for the time being, and
would have done honor to a presenta-
ton at Mer Majesty's drawing room.
SO deep and profound, indeed, was
the obeisance, in fact that Mrs. Letter,
mOmentarily losing her balance, STUN
bled as she sought to rise. There was a
quick fleeting amused twinkle in the
Presidents eyes. Then, in his most I'M
compromisingly dignifed manned he
returned the courtesy with an Ameri-
can bow, and without a word passed
from his pew and out of the church.

CITY IS LIMITED 70 kONA
REPUBLICAN CHARTER MAKERS
TAKE ACTION.
Report of the Minority on the Matter
Is Adopted-Lively Meeting of the
Commission Last Night.

The one single thing done at a three
hour session of the Republican charter
commission last evening was to finally
settle the point that whatever form of
charter is recommended to the Legisla-
ture it shall be for the city of Homo
lulu to be the city and county of Ho-
nOlulu, and not to include any outside
portion of this island Thus, the mi
nority report of the subcommittee,
submitted by w. O. Smith and George
A. Davis was accepted.
There was much argument, and the
original majority had a hard death. 1t
was a surprise really to both sides
that the minority developed such
strength. If passed by the Legislature
as suggested it will mean that Homo
lulu will have but one set of offers in
place of two, they performing both
municipal and county work. The reso-
luton embodying the point was sub
mitted by Attorney p. l.. Weaver and
was as follows:
boundaries of the proposed municipal
ity (of Honolulu) be confined to the
district of Kona as it now exists and
be known as the city and county of Ho-
nolulu and that the Legislative branch
of such municipal government be so
defined as to give to them the power
to define from time to time the area
within the district of Kona as to which
of those ordinances peculiar to a thick
ly settled district shall apply"
The last clause refers to fire limits,
paving limits, lighting limits, etc.
c. NJ. White read his opinion, hav-
ing reduced the same to writing. He
favored a government for the city of
Honolulu, not to include the outer dis
tricts of Oahu. His opinion also was
that the commission should consider a
general scheme of county government,
to take in all of the Islands.
Mr.. Whites opinion, a talk by w. o.
Smith and speech of P. L. Weaver in
presenting his resolution swayed a
majority of members of the committee
into the ranks of the minority.
]. G. Pratt, of Bruce Warning & Com
pany, proposed a conference with the
Independents on the subject of city
limits, but this idea did not prove po-
pular, coming near. in fact, breaking
up the meeting. Some members of the
commission still held to tn opinion that
commission still held to the opinion that

structions to report in two years.

JAPAN,S RICE CROP.

The Japanese department of agricul-
tural and commerce predicts a splendid
rice crop this year. The average crop
being 1914 $4,000 bushels, this year s
yield, if present expectations be fulfilled
will be 27,9O0000 bushels, or 14.3 per cent
abouve the average. 1t will also be "a
100000 bushels greater than last years
crop. In fact, during the twelve year
period ending 1900, it seems probable
that only 1898 will be able to boast a
years crop than that of this year. The
difference between this years and last
years crops in money will be about
50,000,000 yen.

AUSTRALIAN MILITARIsM.

New South Wales defenses are to be
thoroughly reOrganized. The premier
has ordered several guns of the Al type
rendered famous in South Africa, and
particularly in the effective defense OF
Ladysmith. The question of securing
some Wears Maxim guns is also under
consideration. A further supply of 1000
rifles and alarge quantity of ammuni-
ton will shortly arrive, together with
several fifteen FOUNDER guns to replace
those sent with A battery to South
Africa. Altogether the premier is i'm
pressed with the need of properly equip
ing the military authorities and intends
that the colony shall not be lacking in
arms and ammunition, great or small,
to meet any emergency that may arise.

We have always obtained better re-
suits from the use of seed potatoes
about the size of hens egg or as
near that as we could judge by the
shape of the potato, and cut in halves,
as from any seed we had and we have
tested them against larger ones cut in
halves and in quarters, against smaller
ones used whole and against pieces
cut to two eyes each. Yet the pieces
of two eyes were so nearly equal that
we would use that method IL the seed
cost high price, by which we do not
mean the early price of the Early Rose
at dollar pound, but If they cost SO
a bushel. But the potato Of that size,
scarcely marketable, unless there was
a season of scarcity, is MS well matured
as the potato that weighs Il pound, and
we think throws as strong shoot and
produces MS much. We never made d
tost by comparing the use of pieces of
large potatoes against pieces of about
equal weight of the smaller ones, and
to learn anything from such d test one
would need to continue 1t for term of
years, using the largest from the larg-
est seed each time. 1t might be well
after selecting as we would, for some
years, to change to pieces, from the
large ones for season, but we are not
sure of t.-Massachusetts Ploughman.

Mans Social Standing In the West.

usually acts us head of the family in
all manner Of social and religious
crises, US inviting ministerial guest
to ask a blessing at table or conduct
family worship. while the masculine
partner slouches around at such times

Weed Seeds.

If the farmer desires to know how to
select good clover seed he should learn
to know weed seed as soon as he looks
at 1t. Then if his eyesight is not
good enough to distinguish it when 1t is
among the clover seed, let him spend
from fifty cents upward for a good
magnifying glass. and let him buy no
clover and not much other seed until
he has examined it, and found it rea-
sonably clear of the weed seeds. 1t
may be hard to find it perfectly pure,
but there is no use in buying such seed
as a sample sold in Vermont last year,
which had 59,31O weed seeds in a
pound. Just think of sowing ten,
twenty or more pounds of such seed on
an acre. The seeds of plantain, sor-
rel, pigweed, smartweed, curled dock
and the foxtail grass We're the most
abundant in this lot, and each of them
might pass for clover seed mt first
glance, but can be detected under a
magnifying glass. 1t would be a good
lesson for the boys to collect samples
of each of these and some other seeds
in little walls; and label each, that they
mighty study them until they knew
them too well to buy them as clover

Making Alfalfa silare.

larger loss than about 10 per cent Of
Its feeding value. 10 make good sill
age from whole alfalfa Is n mucl, hard
err proposition. 1t requires that the al
falfa be quite green, that tile silo be
both tight and deep, that the alfalfa be
thrown into the silo in small forkfuls
and carefully tramped and that 1t be
weighted by four to six feet of some
heavy, tight packing material like cut
corn fodder. If the alfalfa is put up
in the middle of the summer In clear,
bright weather, 1t must be raked and
loaded as fast MS cut. One lot tried
was too dry for silage two hours after

Houseclenninr Hints.

For soiled spots in wallpaper, try
rubbing with dry cornmeal or stale
bread.
Keep small square of carpet to
carry about while cleaning to set
pail of water on. The precaution will
save blemishes on polished floors OF
carpets.
Crude petroleum, well rubbed in, is
as simple and good a polisher as one
can find for floors whiclf-have been
oiled, vanished or painted.
If mark has been made by the drip
ping from the water faucet in mar
BILE wash bowl, scrub it off with pull
verified chalk moistened with ammo
mia.
When you mop the floors add to each
pail of warm water two tablespoons of
carbolic acid. 1t leaves the wood in
sweet and healthy condition.
