TALKING OK VACANCY.

Governor Dole this morning re-
ierred the matter OF the choice OF q
Superintendent,te succeed Mr. Coop
or iu the Public Works department,
to his kitchen cabinet, This was
not only proper but diplomatic, for
in that way the governor will be
able to avail himself of unbiased
opinion and will fiod an avenue by
which he may escape from himself.
or, in other words, have an excuse
to act nationally for once in bis life.
The subject OF an appointee was
discussed casually and was then
postponed for one week. This will
enable the council to more carefully
consider the names before it.

In the House this forenoon, when
the Hackfeld wharf item was re-
vived, Representative Chilling worth
said that that wharf was built dur
ing the time when harbor accommo-
dations we're much needed, not only
as help to the then congested con-
dition OF the harbor, but as we'll as
an income producing venture. Con-
ceding that'it is an aocomm alton
to- he shipping, but as to its being an
income producer, we say-it is nil,
as the facts do not bear out such a
contention. We think the aged
member was laboring under delu-
sion.

In the House there is very pro-
nouuced feeling in favor of E G
Winston for the place. The endorse
ment is by both Republicans and
Home Rulerr, and may be consider
ed very strong. Among the Fifth
District voters Mr. Winston has an
immense pull, and there will be a
mass meeting at Kalihi camp to-
night for the special purpose OF
booming his candidacy Wa h,vs
nothing against Mr. Winston
except that we think he ia better
qualified to run . steam laundry
than a public works department
He is a good fellow iu his way, and
has been "Jack Of all trader;" but
he was unfortunately born some
hundreds OF years too late to quail
fy for the important position to
which he aspires. Another obj action
to Mr. Winston is that he has been,
and il, Extensively partiz,n. He
wears his partizanship as he does
his coat, and it has become familiar
part of his makeup. A hide-bound
partiz IN has no business in public
Office, particularly in one carrying
with it large aud ip a rental tail of
"pAtronsge." We would. therefore,
advise our Hawaiian friends to think
twice, aud thoroughly, b fore On
dorsiug Mr. Winston.

'1'me First Alma ma cS.

The almanac. properly so called in its origin, is not merely device for keep ing people in mind of the progress of the year. 1t is an attempt to show what destiny has in store for us as in- dicated by the position of the stars in any particular year, and as, according to astrological lore, the destinies of men are ruled by the different aspects of the planets, so also the human body is subject to the influence of the con- stellations through which the sun ap- pears to pass in his yearly course. A French almanac of 1910 gives dia. gram of the human body surrounded by all the signs of the zodiac and indi- over which these signs have power, and this for guide pour les saignees. or to show at what periods blood may be let with safety. But the same al- manac also gives directions sensible enough for the avoidance of the plague which would not be found fault with by modern fashionable physician:
 Who would keep his body in health
 And resist the infection of the plague
 Let him seek joy and sadness fly,
 Avoid places where infections abound
 And cherish joyous company.
 A few examples exist of almanacs of this character before the invention of printing, although none, it is believed, earlier than the twelfth century. But some of the earliest specimens of print ing are black printed German sheet al manacs, which are chiefly concerned about blood letting. - All the Year Round

crocod1les I'm Water.

The crocOdiles are thoroughly aquatic in their habits, and their peculiar con formation enables them to attack and seize their prey unawares. Their nos trils, which lead by long canal to the back part of their throats, their eyes and their ears are placed on the upper part of the head, so that when in the water they can breathe, see and hear, while they are themselves practically invisible. When they dive, their nos trils and ears are closed by lids or valves, and their eyes are covered by a transparent nictitating membrane. They are further furnished with an arrange ment which prevents the water from getting down their own throats when they are holding large animals under the water to drown them.
 The dentitiOn of these reptiles is pc culiar. The teeth are sharp and con- ical and are hollow at the base, and each tooth serves as the sheath of an- other, which will in time replace it. The tOngue-for notwithstanding the ancient belief the crocodile does pos sess tongue-is feshy and is attached to the bottom of the mouth. And final ly the lower jaw is hinged at the very back of the skull, thus giving the ami nal it's extraordinary gape and also the peculiar appearance which caused the notion that it moved its upper jaw.

Hard on fhe Ladiea.

Very few remember the existence of a certain remarkable statute which was passed in the early days of George III. if indeed they ever heard of 1t. It runs to tue effect that if any woman "entices any of his majesty's male sub- jects into marriage by the use of any powders or paints or false hair or wool on the cheeks she shall be prosecuted for sorcery." What cause celebre it would be if any of his present maj esty's male subjects were to endeavor to put the law into action.

Meerschaum Carving.

Vienna is the greatest center for meerschaum carving, which has at tained a very high artistic develop ment. The raw material comes in such odd shapes that much skill Is exer- cised in obtaining from each piece a pipe that shall be as large and well shaped as possible. The rough block Is first soaked in water to make 1t soft, when 1t can be cut as readily as cheese. After the carving Is completed the final polishing is done by women with fine sandpaper and a kind of grass.
