COMMENT ON THE MESSAGE

LONDON, December g. Some of the
London newspapers regard President
Roosevelt's message as a disappoint-
ment inasmuch as according to their
views, she adopts a cautious and con-
sentative policy rather than a revolu-
tionary one in dealing with the trust
question and the tariff" On the whole,
however while carefully examining the
message in detail, there is no DISPOSE
ton on the part of the press to strongly
criticise it.
The general impression is that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been influenced by
the warning echoes of the last elections,
and that he seeks to attract rather
than to attempt to compel the support
of Congress.
A leading paper says: 1.-The message
is more remarkable for the lofty ideal
ism of its language than for any bold
ness in it's specific recommendations"
The Presidents enunciation of the
foreign policy of the United States and
his advocacy of a strong navy meet
with warm appreciation, and the mes
sage generally is welcomed as tran
QUILTING one by proving that no or
ganic change of policy is intended
ROME, Dec. s. President Roosevelt
message to Congress was received with
interest here, particularly the PORTER
referring TO the immigration bill. Vic
tor Emanuel today, in conversation
with a parliamentary deputation which
called on MIN to congratulate him upor
the birth of his daughter, the Princess
Mafalda, said the bill was of great i'm
portance, not alone to Italy, but tt
Montenegro, where the number of Tilt
crate persons was high. The Kins
pointed out that California alone haC
1000 Montenegran workmen and though
they were illiterate they gave satisfac
ton to their employers.

TEACHERS DISCUSS
MANUAL TRAINING

The Territorial Teachers Association
held a meeting last evening at the High
School which was largely attended.
The evening was taken up in the read
ing of papers on manual training from
the standpcints of it's connection with
mathematics and art, and it's practical
value. The program was opened with
music by the Kamehameha Manual
glee club, followed by paper by Miss
NJ Ida Ziegler of the Normal school on
the relation of manual training to
mathematics. The two must go hand
in hand as the latter was merely theo-
retical while the former put the knoWl-
edge in practice. The pupil soon came
to understand the valuations of the
inch, foot meter and decimeter when
applied to bit of carpentering, and
figures of geometry became familiar as
applied TO something which could be
shaped with the hands.
The aesthetic value of manual train
ing was presented by Miss Helen Put
nam of the Normal school. Art as a
conception of the manual training car
ried it to the highest development. She
considered it an essential to effective
practical work. The mere practical
value could be moved a notch higher
even in applied forms
Superintendent Atkinson read paper
on the value to the Schools of Manual
Training, Including Cooking and Sew
ing" He treated the matter humor-
cusly in being called upon to give a
pedagogic essay upon something that
had to do almost entirely with woman
sphere, but as he had introduced sew
ing into the school curriculum he felt
that he knew something about it. Plain
sewing was essential as an education
and he hoped that lot only would girls
be required to sew but that the boys
would also be taught The sewing or
OF buttons was quite essential to their
general education, and it would be well
for them to know equally well how to
darn socks and mend rents in their
clothes. The Superintendent exhibited
two old-fashioned samplers, one made
| in 1745 and the other in 1898, the hanoi
work of girls whose names appeared
delicately worked out thereon. be
thought that much would be gained il
| the school children were required to
| perform work of this kind.
| Miss Ermine Cross of Castle kinder
garten gave pleasing account of man
ual work in the kindergarten and the
value of the impressions received by
children of tender years.

RING WORM AND DANDRUFF.
They Are Each Caused by a Pestifer

Ring worm and dandruff are some

Without dandruff there would never be

A Few Baseball "Don'ts. /"

Don knock.
Don't rebuke a player during the
game. People can discuss the merits
and dement's of players without
bowling across the field.
Don't try to run the game from the
grand stand or bleachers. Let the
manager do that.
Don't groan and yell to a batter
something about not coming within
a mile of it when he misses ball. If
there is one thing a ball player wants
to do it is to hit the ball. His pro-
fessional reputation depends upon it
regardless of his disposition or inten-
ton otherwise.
Don't yell to home player to ''hit
it out when he is attempting to sac
rifice. He is acting under orders and
would much rather take his chances
on hard hit.
Don't eXclaim derisively when a
home player makes an error. If he
is consistent player he feels as bad
ly about it as you do. If he does not
care, cat calls will not help matters
Don't cry to the manager take
him out" when home pitcher is get
ting hit. Let the manager run the
team.

The directors of the Rock Island
Baseball association held a meeting
last evening at which the local stu
alton was gone over with considera-
bic thorOughness. The sentiment
prevailed generally that the team as
a whole has not of late been doing
the work of which it is capable and
the feeling finally crystallized into IA
communication that will be handed
to each of the Rock Island players.
As it deals with the team in gen
eral way, all the members will be ia
vored with copy, regardless of
whether it applies or not. In fact,
1T was made clear at the meeting that
there is no dissatisfaction with the
work of some of the men and care
was taken to word the letter so that
those with clear conscience could
take no OffeuSe.

THE CALENDAR CUSTOM.
Giving of Them as Holiday Gifts, an
Ancient Custom That Is Grow
ing in Popularity,

The custom of giving calendars at
the holiday season seems to be rapid
" extending, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph, and the gifts are made each
year more ornate and expensive.
Although thus becoming known to an
Overwhelming circle of giyers and re-
ceiyers the custom is by no means a
new one. 1t was known to the Greeks
and the Romans as early as the second
century of our era, the primitive al
MANAGES made by the scribes of Alex
andria being offered, with other costly
gifts, to rulers and great personages.
One of the first uses of the art of print
ing was to issue an almanac or Gals
endar, called the Kalepdarium Novum,
at Buda, in Hungary, in the year 1475.
1t was a costly publication, ten crowns,
gold, being paid for single copy, which
served as a gift to King Matthias, The
almanac displaced the calendar after
the invention of printing, but the
monthly record of days as we now
know it was received in the eighteenth
century, and has gradually attained in
dependent Importance. It may fairly
be said that the printed calendars have
never been so beautiful as those is
eued for this year.

YHE' ENGLISH KINGS WINE.
New Labels Have Been Made for the
Store of Each of Edwards
Palaces.

One result of the accession of Ed
ward VII. to the throne of England,
which should be of interest to con-
noisseurs of wine, is that it has be-
come necessary to prepare new labels
for the kings wine, one for each
palace. The new labels bear the royal
crown, the initials sc. r." and the
name of the palace as windsor cas-
tle." These will be placed on all
the wine purchased for the future,
but the old labels on the wine laid
down in the last reign will not be
disturbed, for they are an interest
ing testimony of age, says London
paper.
The late queen had two labels, the
one with "V. R." on it she used
throughout the early part of her
reign and the one with "V r. l." was
made after the royal titles act. Wine
which bears the former label must
have been in the royal cellars for
over 20 years. Similarly the wine in
the cellars at Marlborough house is
all marked with label bearing the
prince of Wales feathers, the initials
"P. W." and the name Marlborough
house." This will not be disturbed,
and in view of future contingencies
no new label will be introduced. An
other popularity of the royal cellars
which is worth noticing is the fact
that the bottles of champagne bear
no label but the royal label. This is
due to the fact that the wine is
brought in hogsheads from the man
ufacturer and bottled in the royal
cellars.
