Rescued From a PerilOus Position.

l.. McCrea, sc years of age, was res
cued from a tree i'll The Marias Des
Ci gne river, about mile up the river
from Cortland, Sunday eyening about
dark. He had been in the tree since
| clock in the afternoon and was
exhausted when found. The old man.
who is ali expert in handling IL row
boat, started up the river to piece
ofland which is farming to look after
his horses. He got along without
mishap uutil he arrived at what the
natives call the rapids. Here the
current runs like a millrace and the
old man in attempting to run the
shoal gave out and the boat was
hurled down stream ut Il sixty mile
gait. Mr. McCrea saw his danger
and caught a convenient tree as his
boat struck it. just as he left the
boat, it was taken under the water
and has not been found yet. Climb
ing the tree lie saw a couple OF men
not great distance away, but on
account OF the roaring noise of the
water his cries for help could not be
ahsafd by them, and heremained in The
tree until nearly dark when man
passing by happened to see him and
securing help the old man was extri-
Gated from his perilous perch by the
aid of rope which was thrown to
him and which he made fast to the
tree and then cooned it to dry land.
When found, he had almost given
up hope and was preparing to take
his shirt off, tear it into stripes and
lash himself to the tree for that
night, as lis strength was giving out.

Last summer people all over the
country were holding rayer meetings
to pray for rain. This year the Lord
has sent us abundance OF rain, but
we don't hear OF any meetings being
held to thank Him for it. Maybe it
would be better plan to avert
drouth by thanking God for his
blessings than to wait until the bles-
sings are withheld and then pray for
them to be granted again. Human
ity does not feel the need of its max
er 50 much in prosperity as in ad-
versity. People are more busy now
predicting that the heavy rains will
ruin the wheat than i'll giving thanks
for the prospect of a bouhtiful har-

In view of the, amount of cholera in
the Philippines a San Francisco paper
suggests that mo ship from Manila
either with or without clean bill of
health should be allowed to enter the
port without a thorough fumigation."
This is based upon the fact that
though the cholera germs would not
live in a human body for the time it
takes a vessel to cross the Pacific
ocean, yet such germs have been
known to be carried long distances in
old clothes, etc" A correspondent of
the Star quotes the above and points
out that precautions should be taken
at this port with regard to the Pacific
Mail boats which carry passengers
from Manila. The matter is in the
hands of the Federal authorities, and
they doubtless are giving their utmost
attention to this phase of the case.

The subject of poi shops has been
once again brought forward by Food
Commissioner Shorey. He finds that
the poi is not adulterated, or at least
not adulterated with any deleterious
substance. But he makes objection to
the very dirty way in which it is pre-
pared. Upon the latter there can be
no doubt. The poi shops kept mostly
by Chinese are excessively dirty, and
the water used in the manufacture is
no doubt in many cases vitated.
Though there may be no deleterious
adulteration of the poi, there is adul-
Iteration with cheap flour. Any one in
the habit of using poi can soon detect
this kind of adulteration. Flour poi
however, has been in use in Kona, Ha-
wall, and elsewhere, for years past.

In 1900, there were 757 900 strangers
living in the German Empire, of whom
5000 We're Austro-H ungarians, IS, 900
Dutch, $1,000 Italians, $4,000 Swiss, 49,
600 Russians, and nearly $4,000 Ameri-
cans. The total population was 55,587,-
OOO The total German emigration dur
ing 1901 was 22,O73 lin 1900, 22,8Og), of
whom 1900 went via Hamburg and g.
100 via Bremen. The American popu-
lation in Germany is made up largely
of those who go over for the purpose
of studying music, painting and other
branches of art. There is also a con-
siderable sprinl1ling of commercial
men. The value of the exports to the
United States, as shown by the state
ments made to the embassy by the
four) United States consuls-general in
Germany for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1902 was $1O2, 714,OOO being an
increase over the preceding year of
about $2,75OOOO.

A correspondent has called the atten-
ton of the Star to a statement which
appeared in a recent number of Gown
Talk, San Francisco weekly which
publishes more or less rubbish about
Hawaiian people and affairs. In speak,
ing of Eva Plantation the paper said:
The operating expenses of the planta-
ton are considerably less than last year
and there is positive assurance that
the regular dividend of 1 per cent a
month will continue indefinitely" The
endeavor to boom any particular divi-
dend-paying stock on the eve of the
dividend being cut down-as was evil
IDENTITY done by some manipulator either
here or in San Francisco, can only tend
TO depreciate the value of all our divi-
dend-paying stocks in San Francisco or
other mainland markets. 1t is poor
policy for "A broker, in order to help a
customer to unload at the highest mar
ket price, to take such an advantage
to the future detrment Of the whole
stock market, This has often been done
before and as long as such a system
continues We cannot expect mainland
holders to have any confidence in our
securities.

A considerable proportion Of the
money from the fire claims win 60 not
into the pockets of the people who suf-
fered loss, but into the pockets Of the
lawyers. Most of the cases examined
by the Fire Claims Commissioners were
taken up on contingent fees. These
fees varied for different people and in
different firms. thus in some cases the
contingent fee was ten per cent, and
if a claimant got an award Of 800, he
would receive $50 and the lawyer So
Again some fees were twenty-five per
cent, when $40 would go to the claimant
and $25 to the lawyer. Lastly there are
said to have been fifty per cent fees in
which the award would be divided in
half between lawyer and client. Con-
gress had it passed the item, intended

ON TUBERCULOSIS.

The report Of the san Francisco Board
of Health has been handed to the star
in which occurs a paper upon tubercu-
losis by DR.. Bazet. 1t is interesting
from several points of view. First it
gives an historical sketch, second the
impracticability of quarantine is shown
and the difficulty of diagnosis is shown.
Third the method of battle against the
disease is treated of.
Historically DR.. Bazet shows that
the knowledge of contigiousness is not
nearly so recent as one would suppose
and points out that an edict was pub
lished in Naples enforcing the strictest
prophylactic measures against possible
contagion from tuberculosis as far back
as 17S2C Physicians who would not re-
port their tuberculous patients We're
sentenced to a fine of 300 ducats for the
first offense and Punishment for ten
years for the second offense. Those
who facilitated "the evasion of a phthi-
steal individual" got six months in Jail
and the jails of Naples were not
pleasant residences. However the de-
cree soon fell into disuse. But the fact
of it's publication shows that the con-
tagiousness of tuberculosis was then
known, and that our recognition of it
is a revival and not a discovery.
The quarantining against tuberculosis
the doctor considers impracticable. Not
only is tuberculosis difficult to dag
nose in the early stages, so that the
best, trained ear will pass, as healthy,
lungs stuffed with tuberculosis, but 1t
would be impossible to inOculate with
tuberculin strangers coming into a
country, merely upon a suspicion of
tuberculous affection. Again it would
be impossible to compel all travellers
to eXpectorate before the official doc
tors, and what recourse could they
have should a person be unable or re-
fuse to expectorate. Diptheria scarla-
tina, smallpox and so forth can be
qua~antined for their march is rapid
and once cured they do not retain their
dangerous character. But with tuber-
culosis quarantine would not cease in
few days. 1t is an affection lasting
weeks, months, years.
1t is evident that we cannot Quaran-
tine entirely against tuberculosis, but
we can keep away cases of advanced
consumption sent from elsewhere to
our shores. And there are methods of
fighting the disease in our borders.
There was a time when places with a
good climate sought for tuberculous
patients and strove to attract tH5m, but
most communities have learned .sdom,
and no longer stretch out for suca bust
ness. 1t has been the dream of aeveral
of our physicians here to establi 81 some
resorts in Kona, Hawaii, to attract this
class of patients, but we had better 10
without visitors if we are to bring
tuberculous visitors down. We have
enough tuberculosis to hght without
adding to the burthen.
