wind and Temper.

There is a closer connection between
wind and temper than at first sight ap-
pears. A Goldfish wind has a bracing eff
feet and on the whole is beneficial. In
countries where hot winds occur peri
odicaily, on the other hand, these are
regarded as nuisance, if not curse.
Every one almost gets cross, weary and
done up and has headache daily.
In Egypt the season when. crimes are
commonest is when the hot khamseen
blows. Nearly always during severe
sirocco the Arabs in Algeria were rest
less, if they did not attempt an actual
rising. The solano, Rhich now and
then rushes across the Mediterranean
in fiery blasts from Africa, upsets ev-
cry one in Spain and is the worst wind
in that country.
And even in the pearl Of the An
TILES" the fierce hot wind is such pest
that it is recorded of family living In
Havana that they made it a rule in the
household to preserve absolute silence
until the wind disappeared. 1t was the
only plan they could think Of to avoid
family quarrels.

Judge Joseph AspinalPs reputation
as a humorist on the bench Is proven
bal, but when of the bench he rarely
jokes. Hence it was that Assistant
District Attrrney Martin w. Littleton,
the after d,nner spellbinder. was taken
by surprise when the judge calmly In
quired:
Martin, you are interested in ath-
letics. Tell me the name of the cham
pion shot putter."
"Tl have to pass that. judge"
"Well, then, what's the matter with
cannonY'
Mr.. Littleton reeled from the impact.
but, quickly recovering, replied:
"Ah. yes, very neat. But, by the way,
l see you are one Of the entries in the
big paper chase"
Paper chase? What paper chaser
said the judge unguardedly.

The legal profession of the present
day will be surprised to learn that Mr..
Webster, the greatest American law
yer of his time. made but $4,000 a
year by his practice But the fees of
counsel between 1910 and 1850 were
not what they have been since.
In 1913 accompanied client 70
Mr. Webster's Office in Boston and ask
ed him to name a retaining fee in an
important patent case He said he
thought couple Of hundred dollars
would do. When the case was tried,
his fee was only $1,000. On another
occasion l paid him retaining fee Of
$1,000 for the proprietors Of the Good
year india rubber patent.
His fee for arguing the great equity
cause of Goodyear versus Day in the
circuit court of the United States for
the district of New Jersey, by which
he established the validity of the Good
year patent, was $1,000 This was in
the spring of 1852, and was the last
case he ever argued.

peering through his window.
"Well. didn't you say stopT
"I never said nothin'."
''Noah, do you want to dieT'
mo, sir"
''S'matter, Henry?" shouted the head
brakeman from the top Of the train.
81 don't know. Did you see any
thing?"

ibid you hear anything?"
Eyes; heard Noah yell to you to stop
'er."
"Come out of there, Noahr'
81 won't come out. Henry. cause
you'll kill me. l won't take a lickin'
when amt done nothin'"
Henry passed his bony hand over his
Reyes as a man will when not quite
sure of himself. He looked ahead
where the headlight shone on the two
thin threads of steel that turned three
cars away and disappeared round a
high rock. By this time Henry's
wrath had cooled down, and without
another word he put the lever for
ward, released the airbrakes, and the
train moved forward again. When
the big black engine put her nose
round the curve, which was to Henry's
side, the engineer saw a great black
gap in the track, over which the
rails sagged, holding the crossties.
Look out! Jump 1t was Henry's
voice this time, and Noah, being wide
awake, went out into the night. In
the meantime 40 was holding and
straining against the heavy train that
kept showing her nearer and nearer
to the gap that yawned in the grade
At last she stopped, with the soft
earth oozing away under her pilot.
She could not move the fifteen loads
that were behind her-that had climb
ed the hill with the help Of two other
engines-so there she had to stand I'M
til help came and pulled the cars back
to sidetrack
A little stream of clear water had
been trickling down the mountain side
for days and days and soaking into the
grade. Finally the fill became mushy,
and when the two light engines that
had helped Henry up the hill went by
they shook the grade, and the mush
slid out and down to the bottom of the
gulch 200 feet below.
When the trainmen. and enginemen
had come down and stood at the edge
of the break, little Tim Grady crossed
himself.
Noah. you dirty faced devil" said
High Henry, come here an let me hug

Like shooting Ghosts.

The impression when hunting paddy
melons, species of kangaroo found in
Australia, is Of shooting at ghosts,
what with the dim, mysterious light of
the bush" and the strange appearance
and swift movement of the game Pad
dymelons, like all the kangaroo tribe,
are useless for food, except so far as
their tails are concerned, which, being
largely of glutinous texture, furnish
material for capital soup, very like OK
tail. but with peculiar and agreeable
gamy flavor.

field. Then Uncle Billy was kicked in
the breast by horse. and the hired
man and the country doctor and tin
peddler scattered the news abroad that
he would never live to see another sun
rise. The neighbors quickly gathered,
and one look at the victim satisfied
them that his hours were numbered.
Eyes, the sorrel boss kicked me with
both feet to once" whispered the vic
tim, "and all the doctors in the state
couldn't save me. You'll get that mon
ey in time to begin building the meet
ing house this fall. and by spring 1t
will be all ready l hope you'll see to
1t that the front doors open easily, and
don't have too many steps to climb. If
I've ever wronged any of you. | hope
you'll forgive me-
One after another the men and wO-
men came and went with serious faces.
and no matter what they thought as
they walked homeward they did not
discuss the comforts they hoped to ex-
tract from the new meeting house. All
were prepared next morning to hear
that Uncle Billy was no more. but they
were disappointed. He had made
gain during the night, and to the as
constituent of everybody, the doctor
included, the gain continued, and in
month he was back at his work. He
could not fail to note, however, that
there was no warmth in his neighbors'
greetings, and he felt called upon to
explain.
''If it was my fault, you might lay it
up ag'in me, but it amt. l was all
ready to die and let you have that
fifteen hundred for The meeting house,
but death wouldn't come. 1t will,
though I've been spared to carry out
some mission, and as soon as that's ac-
complished l shall keel over for good"
If there was a miss ON, he was a long
time in working 1t out, for seven long
years went by before death stared him

quarry taking in three of the farms
had been opened. and railroad had
spoiled two more. There was no lon
ger any congregation, and 1t was at
rare intervals that circuit rider came
along and held Sunday services in
house or barn.
People had not forgotten Uncle Billy
for not dying years before, but the
idea of a meeting house had almost
been forgotten when he got tangled up
with thrashing machine one day and
came out hash. The remains were
gathered up and placed In wagon
and taken home. but while the funeral
was being arranged for the said re-
mains returned to life and began to
wonder where they were at. 1t was
emphatically asserted on all sides that
an old man with dozen broken bones
couldn't possibly recover, but after
hanging between life and death for
week Uncle Billy struck the right road

How to Distinguish Tender Beef.


Meat, to be wholesome. must come
from a healthy animal; to be nutri-
tious, from well nourished one. Much
used muscles absorb much food mate
rial, making rich, juicy meat. This is,
however. tougher than that of parts
less used, because the connective It's
sue and fiber increase as well as the
contents of the muscle tubes.
The lean of good beef is firm, elias
tic and when first cut purplish red, the
surface becoming bright red and moist
after exposure to the air The tender
er cuts are fine grained and we'll mot
tied with fat; thick layer Of firm,
light, straw colored fat extends over
the rib and loin cuts; the kidney suet
lis white and crumbly. Flabby, dark
or coarse beef with yellow fat is poor.
If it has little fat. it is from an old or
underfed creature. Beatrice Raven in

that is the REASON WHY you

The BARRIERS of India rank with the
washerwomen. The son of a barber
must be barber all his life, and his
wife must be BARRIERS daughter. The
HindOo shaver travels about in search
Of customers, and the barbering is done
in the street. There are no stools, both
barber and customer squatting on their
heels while the operation is performed.
The Hindoo barber is a manicure and
a chiropodist as well, and his pay is
wretchedly small. They often act as
surgeons, and they make a speciality of
piercing the ears of young girls for ear
rings while BARRIERS wives are almost
always hairdressers

A Spelling Bee.

Some of you who think you are well
up in spelling just try to spell the
words in this little sentence:

issue of the McBryde Sugar Company.
The chief feature of the Stock Mar
ket since our last issue is the advance
of Eva from $3.50 to sales of $50. the
present quotation being $3.50 bid, $40
asked; a decline in McBryde paid up
to So, and sales of Waiaua at $35 and
Oahu at $50 Ookala is offered at 81,
no takers. Several hundred shares of
Olaa assessable changed hands at 81
and 1915, the latter price being the
present quotation. This is equivalent
to $T.75 for paid up shares. A sale of 10
shares of Haiku was quoted at 100.
Inter-Island remains strong at 800.
It is now likely that this company will
continue to pay it's present dividend of

BERREY'S COMMERCIAL REPORT

Berrey's Commercial Agency semi
monthly circular for September Is, was
issued yesterday as follows:
The manner in which the United
States Senatorial Commission is getting
down to business and probing into
affairs here, is a source of considerable
satisfaction to the merchants of Homo
lulu. The merchants know that such
an investigation can only bring good
results. The Commission leaves We'd
nesday, September 18th, for Hilo, and
will return the beginning of the next
week
The presence in the Islands of three
representatives of E. H. Rollins & Son,
Bankers, the underwriters of the Rapid
Transit bonds, undoubtedly means that
and securities by this great banking
house. The rapidly increasing business
of the Transit Company is very crafty
ing to the foreign investors, and the
bonds have reached considerable pre-
MUM. A local bid of 103 is made for
Transit Co.'S bonds on the Stoe,- Ex-
change.
Accompanying the Rollins party to
Honolulu was C. H. C. Moller, repre-
senting the owners of the stocks and
bonds of the Hawaiian Tramways Com
pany. Negotiations have practically
been completed by which the Rapid
Transit Company will absorb the Ha-
waiian Tramways Company on basis
which is said to be of one share of the
stock of the Rapid Transit Company,
par value 800, for five shares of the
stock of the Hawaiian Tramways Com
pany, par value $40. This would mean
that the Transit company would be
obliged to increase it's capital stock by
$3.50, 000 The Tramways Company has
a Capital Stock liability of 1926, 900, and
there is outstanding s150,000 in bonds.
it's assets are 100000 India three
per cent mortgage bonds and about
