HAIL TO THE CHIEF.
Fire Department Presents a Badge to
Chief Thurston.

Fire Chief Charles H. Thurston was
presented with a handsome gold badge,
showing his rank, by the members of
the Honolulu Fire Department last
evening. The chief was called to the
library at Central Station a little before
eight o'clock. He found all the men
from the central station gathereA
there as well as representatives from
the hose stations in other districts.
AS he entered, Assistant Chief A. G..
Deering stepped forward with a pack
age in his hand. AS he undid the
wrappings and handed Mr.. Thurston
the heavy gold badge, he told him how
much his men loved and esteemed him.
Mr.. Deering said:
I'm token of friendship and the high
esteem in which we hold you, we, the
members of the Honolulu Fire Depart
ment, herewith present you with this
token of remembrance, which we trust
will be worn by you, and ever as re-
minder of the high regard in which we
hold you. Coming as it does, from the
Honolulu Fire Department collectively,
we trust that you will recognize that
individually, each member of the de-
partment considers you worthy of the
highest compliment that we can pay
you. And now, as 1 pin on this token
of our warmest friendship, we hope
that you will ever wear it, in kind re-
membrane of our aloha and best
wishes"
Chief Thurston was much affected
by this evidence of the regard felt for
him by the men, and thanked them
heartily for it as well as for the zeal
they had always shown in the service.
The badge is a handsome affair of
massive gold, studded with diamonds.
On the front is an eagle to which is
suspended a shield upon which is en-
graved five trumpets, the insignia of
Mr.. Thurston's rank. In the center is a
large diamond. The letters "Chief, H.
F. D." are engraved upon the front. on
the reverse is engraved Presented to
Chas. Fl. Thurston as token of esteem
by the members of the Honolulu Fire
Department, August g. 1903"

Where Connecticut Got Its Name.

1t might be imagined that Connect
icut is called the land of steady hab-
it's on account of the exemplary con-
duct Of it's citizens. But it obtained
that title in a different manner. John
r. Matthews told just how recently at
the Waldorf-Astoria. 'In the early
colonial times" he said, "it was the
custom to provide every one who as
sisted at a dedication, church build
ing or barn raising with a hooker Of
good Jamaica rum. These functions,
needless to say. were popular. When
the charter creating Connecticut a
crown colony arrived there was, of
course, celebration. The first gov
ernor, John Winthrop, refused to pro-
vide rum and in his inaugural address
deplored the custom of tippling, say
ing it did not lead to steady habits
Thereup the Nutmeg State had a title
to hand down to posterity.

Clevcrest Woman Politician.

Miss ]. N. Strong, private secretary
to ex-Congressman Hawley, of Texas,
is credited with being the cleverest
female politician ever seen in Wash
ington. She is conversant with every
county In Texas, knows every man of
prominence in the State and attends
to nearly all details of Federal pat
ronage there. 1t is related of her
that she once went to see a Cabinet
Minister in regard to a place for a
Texas constituent The official was
not disposed to give the place to her
applicant, but in pleasant and court
eouS manner said: 81 am sorry to
disappoint you after looking into such
pretty eyes" at seems to me, then"
was the quick answer, that the eyes
ought to have it." The Cabinet of
ficer was so pleased with the retort
that he made the appointment.

Work in tho Winter Season.

After the leaves fall there is appar-
entity little work to do on farms, and
the farmer is liable to lose large por-
tlon OF the year when crops are not
growing, but the fact is that but for
this cessation of field work the farmers
could not exist on their farms There
are periods when they are exceedingly
busy in planting, cultivating and har-
yesting their crops, at which time all
other departments Of the farm are
overlooked in the effort to secure from
the soil as much as possible. But the
soil must be repaid and something
must go back to the land in order that
it may continue to yield. When the
field work is over there will always be
found more to do. Busy and progress
sive farmers now find that their work
Is never done, at any season Of the
year. The farmer of to-day gives more
attention to the management required
at the barnyard than formerly. With
the improvements made in securing
cheaper power, and with the aid of
more efficient feed cutters, grinders
and shredders, he not only effects a
saving in the foods, but more easily
makes manure. Repairs Of buildings
and implements and the shipping Of
produce stored over from harvest gives
employment for weeks, while the care
of live stock requires longer hours of
labor than is given the growing crops
In summer. Instead of the winter sea-
son being one of leisure it can be made
the most important and busiest, the
only advantage being that much of the
work is done under shelter, though not
always with comfort during severely
cold weather. er-Philadelphia Record.

NESTOR AMONG CLERKS.
Judge Tomkins Works for Uncle Sam
Though EIGHTY Years Old.

The nestor among the clerks at the
Pension office at Washington is Judge
G. M. Tomkins, who was appointed
to that bureau in 1861 and has served
continuously since. From a little bu-
reau he has seen the Pension office
grow to one of the largest and most
influential branches of the govern
ment, with thousands of clerks to do
its work. Despite his so years, he is
still on active duty. Judge Tomkins
was flourishing lawyer in Wisconsin
in 1861, when he visited Washington
to attend President Lincoln's inaugu-
ration, and with no thought OF seek
ing or accepting a government office.
He was pursuaded by Timothy o..
Howe to remain at the capital and
Jake a clerkship on the ground that
war was sure to be declared and it
would be interesting to study it at
close range. "Once a government
clerk, always a government clerk" !"
the saying goes, and Mr.. Tomkins has
never felt any ambition to leave the
comfortable berth to which his old
friend appointed him.

Old Candlesticks t,iqI1,

With the increasing demand for an
tiquities, the supply of mementoes
and relics of past generations is be-
coming exhausted, and the prices Of
genuine pieces are waxing higher and
higher. Old candlesticks, for exam
pie, that have had such continuous
popularity are scarce, and good spec
linens sell for almost any price that
the dealer feels disposed to charge.
To tell old brass, copper or pewter
from the modern imitation requires
long experience and a trained eye.
Brass varies much in color, it's shade
depending upon the proportion of cop
per and zinc used in its composition,
and also on the hue Of the copper en-
ployed. Copper itself assumes a va
riety of compilations. The old Span
ish and Russian copper and brass are
both peculiarly rich in color and re-
tain their polish longer than Others
In the old pieces there is sickness of
texture not found in the sorts made
now This is partly due, it is said,
to the natural wear of the utensils.
In some cases, such as pots, kettles
and fire-boXes, the action of heat may
be responsible, in part at least, for
this quality. Colonial furnishings
are the kinds most eagerly sought by
collectors.

Twain and the kinu,

The father of Miss Louise Forss-
lund, author of "The Ship of Dreams" /"
knew Mark Twain in the days of the
gold fever in California. Twain was
then young newspaper man named
Clemens" and as the men drifted
apart the acquaintance was never fol-
lowed up. Mr.. Forsslund modestly
disclaimed any further knowledge of
the now world-famed humorist. Mark
Twain himself is less difiident, as a
story is now going its second round
of the English papers testifies. Dur
ing Twain's residence in England he
was taxed in what seemed to him an
unjustifiable instance. Accordingly
he wrote friendly protest to the
Queen. Il don't know you," he write,
"but I've met your son. He was at
the head of procession in the Strand,
and l was on bus"

Germany's Army Is for Defense.

The German army, like the German
nation, has been squeezed into exist
ence. Germany, open on every side
to attack, has been the great battle
ground of Europe through all the cen
turtles; and by constant pressure with
in and without the army has had its
growth. 1t was the result of stern
necessity. 1t was defense or death;
and that, in spite Of the commonly re-
ported military aspirations of the Ger
man Kaiser, is the keynote of the sys-
TEN. The army must be made power
full enough to defend the country from
the attacks of any one power or all of
them together. If it is necessary to
march into France in the course Of
such a war, well and good; but that
is not the fundamental purpose of the
army.

Selecting Seed Corn,


Some farmers carefully select their
seed corn and their crops are conse-
quently better each succeeding year.
The first duty is to go into the stand
ing corn and mark the best and most
promising stalks by fastening to each
stalk strip or rag. Then the stalks
that have been selected are again care
fully examined to select the best ears
and grains. The object is to secure
vigor of stalk as well as quality Of ears.
Prolificacy, the grains and freedom
from imperfections are desired. If this
is done every year the variety will be
improved. At this season, if the selec-
ton has not been previously made in
the field before cutting down the stalks,
the best ears from the shocks or cribs
should be retained for seed. Seed
corn should also be kept in a dry loca-
tion, as severe cold may injure its ger
minating quality. II only one remark
ably superior ear is found 1t may be
the foundation upon which improve
ment can be started. Corn may be
made to double its yield with selected
variety that is adapted to the climate
and grown upon favorable soil.

entrance TO the hive is made smaller
that the bees inside can more easily

to cover the hive with a blanket for

checked examine the colony to see If it

colony, that Is too weak In numbers to

cases it occurs when the queen, though

barns for storage, but such difficulty
can be obviated by baling the fodder
and slowing it in the least available
space.
Machinery has been designed for
cutting, shredding and baling this corn
fodder, and after it has been thus
treated it is known as corn hay" In
this form it not only takes up but
little room, but can be preserved in
excellent condition for a long time,
which is impossible in it's original
shape. 1t is claimed, says a writer in
the Implement Age, that the corn hay
crop Of one acre is from three to five
tons, worth from So to $40 per ton,
the compressing of this hay for stor-
age or market giving 1t value never
before anticipated by the grower of
corn, who has relied solely upon the
grain. The shredder and ,husker not
only reduces the entire stalk to the
finest condition for use, but also husks
the ears from the stalks and carries
the hay to the highest barn loft OF
stack. Baled corn hay is rapidly find
ing favor in the cities. not only as a
food for horses, but also because the
residium is one of the best absorbents
known for preserving the manure.
The shredder doubles the value Of the
corn crop by opening more markets for
its use.-Philadelphia Record.

objection to the shredding of corn

courts that one whose hives are robbed
by bees from another PERSONS apiary
has no remedy in law, but he may
take such measures to defend his own

that one who suffers damage by going

Defects in Cheese

Classy ermentation-This is the
worst and commonest trouble in cheese
factories and Is caused by bacteria
breaking down the sugar in the milk
and producing gas therefrom. This
gas causes the appearance known to
cheese-makers as pin hole or gassy
curds. These harmful germs gain ad-
mittance to the milk in the process OF
milking or after the milk is drawn
from the udder. Particles OF manure,
stagnant water and dirty pastures con-
tain this class of gas-producing germ
in large numbers, and 1t is easy to see
how they gain access to the milk by
careless milking. Cows lying ON the
ground or walking through stagnant
water get their hairy coats seeded with
these noXious forms, and they are
dislodged from the animals coat into
the milk pail by the movements of
milking. The high temperature at
which milk is usually kept during the
summer favors their growth, and they
consequently become very numerous in
the milk. We have recently made
several analyses of water sent from
cheese factories, and have found
therein large numbers Of gas-produc-
ing germs.
To avoid as far as possible the con-
tamination from milking 1t is advisable
before commencing O to brush well
the cows udder and that part of her
thigh, flank and side next to the
mixer; (2) to rub the udder and teats
carefully with clean, damp cloth.
Bad Flavors-There are many we'll
known defects in cheese, generally in
dicated by such expressions as "off
flavor" mot clean flavor" tainted"
goose flavor" "yeasty," "bitter," etc..
all of which are abnormal flavors,
due in the majority Of instances to
noxious bacteria gaining access to the
milk-sometimes by carelessness in
milking, as explained above; some
times from dirty whey tanks, some
times from carrying sour whey in
milk cans, and other times from the
use of contaminated well water.
The cheese in an Eastern factory
was pronounced "off flavor" and an
examination revealed the fact that
the germ causing the trouble was in
the well water, which was used in
setting the watts. The water had
acted as a starter, and a change in
the water supply at once removed the
trouble. The high temperatures of
curing-rooms in the summer time fa-
vor the growth of many of these un-
desirable germs in cheese
Color Of Pigment in Cheese-A nlm.
ber of abnormal changes manifested
by the production of various colors in
cheese are caused by bacteria. A com.
mon result from such bacteria is red
or rusty cheese, the discoloration being
noticeable on the edges of the particles
OF curd. Blue, black and green cheese
are also caused in this way, but not
so frequently. Notified or discolored
cheese likewise belongs to this cate
| gory.-Report of the Ontario Agricul.
tural College Experimental Farm.
