THE ROYAL CROWN.
Thouuands Of Jewels in One to he
Worn by King Edward ut
the Coronation.

The crown which b to be worn by
King Edward is one of the finest of
regal cOronets and contains a re-
markable number of jewels, no fewer
than 2,7S5 diamonds having been used
In its ornamentation; while among
the II sapphires Is one particularly
large and fawless stone said to have
once formed the famous ring of Ed
ward the Confessor and supposed to
give it's wearer the power Of curing
eramp, says the London Sketch. Yet
another sapphire to which historic
interest attaches Is that which was
left, strangely enough, by George
III. to Cardinal York. the last legiti-
mate descendant of James III. Set
prominently, SO as to be seen by all
those who look their monarch face
to face, Is "the fair ruby, great like
rocket ball" which was given to
the Black Prince by the then king
of CASTLE and which was imbedded
In the helmet of Henry V. at Agin-
court. What is called Edward the
Confegsor's Crown" is very much
simpler. but it plays a greater part
in the coronation that does the state
crown, for. even when not actually
worn by the sovereign, It is always
placed in prominent position dur
ing The course Of the ceremony.
This crown Is composed of feur-de-
lis studded with pearls; n number
of arches rising from the rim meet
in the middle, where they are en-
boSsed with huge pearls.

TELLS OF LIFE IN HAWAII.
The Able and Interesting Letter OF
a Chinese Boy to Book
Concern in Chicago.

In Hawaii lives o little Chinese
shap named C. All Yaw, who can
write better hand than many of the
1000, 900 people who live right here in
Chicago. Little All Yaw's home is in
the village of Hauapepe, on the
Island of Kauai, which is one of the
Hawaiian group, and Chicago book
concern got letter from him recent
ly which the members of the firm
thought so wonderful that they sent
it to the Daily News so that the rest
of the people in Chicago could share
their surprise at the handiwork of
Chinese boy in the Hawaiian
islands.
The letter covers most of both
sides of a couple of sheets OF fools
cap and is written with an excel
lence of penmanship that people in
this country seldom attain except
after years of practice and which
most writer's fail utterly to attain
ever. The boy is after three books,
in payment of which he incloses As
cents in postage stamps. But before
telling the book firm what he wants
he politely goes to the trouble OF
telling them enough about life in the
little village of Kauai where he lives
to enable the bookmakers to print a
new book about country life in
Hawaii. Says the boy:
81 am Chinese boy, and live In a
valley which is inhabited by Portu-
guese, Hawaiians, Americans, Ger
mans, Japanese, Porto Ricans and
Chinese. The inhabitants of our val
ley is about 800 to 400 pepole. The
chief occupations of the Chinese aud
Japanese are raising rice and vege-
tables. The rice is a kind of stalk,
almost like corn stalk. This is the
way how they cultivate the land.
Fi.9t of all they pillow the field and
let wafer in for two or three days,
then one or two men SOW the rice,
and about q week or two it is four or
five inches tall. Then two or three
men come with their cicles pull up
the rice, cut off the tops and put 1t in
a kind of basket. Then others would
come, bear the filed baskets to some
other field and plant it. After about
a month or two it is about five to
eight inches tall, then they shut of
the water and goes to work pulling

Don't do it. 1t is apt TO get damp,

When enough slices are cut, slip the

FANcIES OF FASHION.
eessOries That Are Designed
for Summer.

Wolfe and Powered muslins make up
prettily for dance gowns, and In silk
both art nOuveau and early century
patterns are fashionable. The latter
show prim little flowers of gay hi es
on various colored grounds.
The new neck ruffs are closely allied
to fichus with long ends, and lie fat oh
the shoulders, mostly composed ol
chiffon and lace mingled with double
accordion plated trills, says the Brook
Ign Eagle.
Rather q novelty In night dresses is
one with an accordion plated elbow
sleeve edged with Valenciennes lace
and inset with two rows Of insertion.
The body of the gown is made square
neck with fine tuckings below forming
deep yoke.
Shoes in the smart Court shape are
seen In silk closely embroidered. White
satin shoes are embroidered in white
and studded with rhinestones. Among
the novelties are gold kid slippers
strapped with narrow white ribbon
and finished with gold buckles. Round
buckles of pearls and rhinestOnes or
nament white satin slippers. A black
satin shoe with red Louis heels and
paste buckles is quite gaudy affair.
This year gloves must match the
gowns. A white washing reindeer
glove just brought out is more salts
factory even than the English doeskin.
A great feature in gloves is the many
new pale shades in which they are be-
ing made. One of the latest tints
matches the ecru laces, which in a
graduation Of cOlOrs at last reaches the
ordinary dark beaver and golden
browns. There are some beautiful
grays; one just the tint Of the bloom
of plum bids fair to have a greatfol-

THE KITCHEN OF TO-DAY.
Il II n Great improvement Upon the
One In which Our Grand
mothers Worked.

The modern kitchen is ideal when
compared with the Old-fashioned
kitchen in which our grandmothers
were compelled to do their work, says
the New York Tribune. The kitchen
floor of to-day is usually Of hard
wood. The boards are about three
inches wide by an inch thick, though
they vary in different Kitchens. This
floor when first laid is generally
rubbed with as much raw oil as the
wood will hold. After this thorough
treatment it will not be necessary to
oil the floor oftener than once In
three months. For the second ap-
plication boiled oil is better, as 1t
dries much more quickly.
There is generally plenty of sun
shine and light IN a modern ,tchen.
The modern sink is made of galvan-
ICED iron or steel. Porcelain sinks
are said not to wear we'll il given
hard usage. The best kitchen faucets
are now plated with nickel. The old
fashioned brass faucet, which lie re-
quired to be laboriously cleaned and
secured, is no longer used. Galvan-
ICED boilers are now generally paint
ed like the woodwork of the room.
Unless they are treated in this way,
they are easily discolored. The cost
ly old-fashioned brass boiler, which
required cleaning every week, is rare
ly found in kitchens.
Some of the best ranges are still
blackened, but many in use are made
of polished iron. All modern ranges
have ground edges that do not need
to be blackened with brick dust, like
ground knife.
In the modern range the processes
of roasting and broiling are carried
on almost to perfection. The meat
is no longer baked in the best ovens
to-day, but is roasted by current OF
fresh air supplied to the oven. Such
ventilated ovens cook the meat in ex-
actly the same way that meat was
roasted in the old-fashioned fire
place. There is considerable loss, OF
flavor and substance in meat that
is baked, and this is easily perceived
by weighing piece of roasted and
a piece of baked meat. In baking the
juices of the meat are dried up and
permanently lost. in roasting q coat
ing Is formed on the outside Of the
meat, and the Juices are sealed up
without any. loss, of food value. The
difference between a properly roast
ed piece of meat and that which has
been baked in an ordinary oven .ia
the same as exists between a piece of
broiled steak and that which has been
simply fried in a hot pan. The meat
of the twentieth century win be
roasted or broiled-never baked,
much less fried or banned" 81
One of the problems OF the twen-
tieth century will be to secure q
range that will give roasted or
broiled meat with the least loss of
heating facilities, and consequent
waste of fuel. In some ways it seems
as though modern ranges were per-
feet, yet even the best of them are
somewhat inferior to the old-fash-
Toned fireplace, with it's spit, on
which meat was roasted to perfec-
ton in a continual current of air, or
broiled-a process which is substan-
tally the same in effect as roast
ing.

out the weeds and grasses and such
things. After that water is let in
again until the rice has grown to be
nine to twelve inches high. by this
time the rice stalk bears the tiny
rice, which is always green.
after two or three weeks more it
is yellow, which the rice is now ripe
and ready for harvesting. We have
kind of fowl which is called rice
fowl or rice bird. They would eat
the rice and spoil 1t and this gives
the farmers whole lots of trouble
and they scare them off by shooting
them. When the rice is ready for
harvesting the rice planters bring
their cicles reap it. One man can
reap about three-quarters of an acre
of rice in day. They begin to work
at five in the morning and work un-
til six o'clock in the evening.
When the rice are all reaped they
collect it together and tie it into
bundles. Then each man will bring
stick about 1S to Is feet long.
sharp-pointed on each end. On each
end of the stick they have two
bundles and away they bear it to the
threshing place on their shoulders.
After the rice has been threshed it
is then put into sacks and q wagon
comes along loaded with sacks of
rice and carried to the mill. There
it is manufactured and is now very
white and after that there are put
in sacks and sent almost all over the
world mostly to the United States.
1 will tell you next something about
our school. 1t is 46 feet in length,
20 feet in width and contains three
rooms The principal of our school
is Mr.. H. H. Brodie and l am in his
room. He is a pretty good fellow
but sometimes he gets a little mad
and spanks the children. We have
another old school behind this one
which was once the first room. but it
is now the fourth room. In our
school we have about 1853 to 1873 pu-
pills and different nationalities; they
are Hawaiians, Americans, Japanese,
Portuguese, Porto Ricans, Germans
and Chinese We have only an acre
of ground and it Is very small play
ground for such number of chill
dren, indeed. On the east of our
school is a Chinese store, on the west
the government road, on the north
river and on the south minister's
house. Our school is about IS rods
from the river and we often go in
swimming and that's great fun. In
our school the boys play ball,
marbles, wrestling, jumping rope and
etc. In our valley we have six Chi
nese stores, two Chinese restaurants,
two Chinese shoe stores, two Chinese
tailor shop one Chinese Matchmaker,
five Japanese stores, two japanese
restaurants, two Japanese BARRIERS,
two Japanese watchmakers and one
saloon owned by a Chinese store.
About a mile from our school we
have large beach. On this beach
lived 30 or 40 fishermen who owned
plenty boats and earned their liv-
ing by fishing When it is dark two
men would row their boat out to the
mighty ocean with their odd lamps
and fish all night. When day breaks
again they come sailing back, you
know, with their finest fish to show
their neighbors. Then other jap
anese further up the valley would
come down with their wagons and
buy the fish. Then they would carry
it to the camps and such places to
sell it. Sometimes they make a good
profit and sometimes loses"
