the dead monarch When this was ac-

left The slaves were all cruelty slain.

Stale Medicines.

THE length of time a prescription
retains its efficacy depends upon the in
gradients" said druggist. "Some
combinations Of drugs keep on good
terms with each other indefinitely,
while others get into a row after being
mixed together for awhile, and the
man who swallows a dose of the COM
pound is apt TO feel good deal worse
than before he took IL. AS rule, medi-
cines that are quite sweet keep their
curative virtues longer than those that
are acid or bitter. Most any medicine
can be taken In safety six months after
compromising, and many will be all
right six years hence. Those that are
not good generally take on curdled,
milky appearance, but that is by no
means an infallible rule, and the per-
son who wishes to save his system un-
comfortable complications would do
well To let all old medicines strictly
alone. New York Press.

Churches In Mexico.

One Of the strange things about the
churches of Mexico is that none OF
them is finished. You may travel from
one end of Mexico to the other and
wherever you go you will find from
one to half dozen workmen doing
something to every church. They may
be putting on spire there or a bit OF
decoration here, but as soon as one
part of the building is apparently com
pleted they go 10 work on another, and
what is more, there is no likelihood
that the churches will ever be finished
until the laws are changed.
Since the present government came
into power the church Of Mexico has
not been allowed TO own property and
such property as 1t acquired must be
held in the names of individuals and is
subject TO taxation. However, no taxes
have to be paid on an unfinished build
Ing, and that is why the churches OF
Mexico are never completed.

One OF the nrst attempts at making
a closed stove OF iron was made by
Cardinal Polignac In 1909, and seven
years later an attempt was made TO
Introduce stoves OF this kind into Eng
land, but without success, owing to the
prejudice OF English people In favor OF
seeing their fire.
The Franklin stove was invented by
DR.. Franklin In 1745. and a quarter of
a century later, In III, and during a
few years following the discoverer OF
electricity invented several other
stoves, one OF which was designed for
burning bituminous coal and which
had downward draft and consumed
its own smoke.
Count Rumford was the next person
to make an invention looking to the
improvement Of stoves and during the
ten years between 1855 and 1895 de-
vised several improvements.

A WhistIing Oyster.

The proprietor OF a London chop
house some years ago made fame and
fortune by the discovery of a musical
oyster. A distinct whistling sound
came from a newly opened barrel OF
oysters. With eagerness he hunted
for the cause and found an oyster
which seemed to amuse itself by
whistling. The innkeeper advertised
1t, and hundreds came daily to his
hostelry to listen to the musical oyster
In due time the oyster died, and its
secret died with it. 1t is supposed
that the sound was caused by the in
spiration and expiration Of air through
tiny hole in the shell. To this day
the inn is known as 1.-The Whistling
Oyster"

Thus far our bark hath sped without one
check.
"Mr Knowles, the editor, wrote back
to suggest that this line should be al

poem would certainly be forthcoming

MURDER, SAYS
RUMOR, AT OLAA

Rumor of a murder at Olaa on Fri
day morning, reached Honolulu Sat
urday, on the arrival of the Kinau
om Hilo. A passenger is quoted as
saying that he met man connected
with the Hilo Railroad company, in
Hilo just b, core the Kil-au sailed, who
told him he had just come down from
Olaa where a white man had been muir
derously assaulted by a number of
plantation Japanese. The railroad man
said that the assault had been COM
mitted at IL Mile, Olaa, and it was
presumed the affair had ended in the
death Of the victiil, white man. An
other version of the story, or rumor
is that after the japanese had left the
victim, the latter had revived, and
crawled away into the brush.
High Sheriff Brown, when asked if
any news of such an affair had reached
him, said he had not been communic-
ated with and had heard nothing of it.
