Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and Better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one OF
the most dangerous diseases that nedi-
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use OF Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack Of
influenza (grip), and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon With i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from a slight cold when no danger
Be on the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold
is contracted. 1t always cures. For
sale at Parker's Two Drug Stores.

The smokeless locomotive is said
now to be an accomplished fact. OF
the invention we learn that "Mr
Watts, superintendent OF motive
power and rolling stock of the New
York Central Railroad and president
OF the American Railway Master Me-
chanics' Association, at the last
annual meeting OF the organization
gave it his hearty approval, based
on actual experience with it for sew
eral months" He commended the
device SO highly that the New York
Central has adopted it for all new
equipment and is fitting its old en-
gines with it as rapidly as possible,
So far SO good. Now for the dustless
railroad train.

ing which was adopted:
Whereas, the Democratic party has
always been the party of the people,
which stands for good government,
national, state and county government
of the people, for the people and by
the people, and
Whereas In the Territory of Hawaii,
county government is now about to be
introduced for the first time, and it is
important that it be started on only
the best principles, with a view of
promoting the greatest good of the
greatest number:
Now therefore, the Democratic party
of the Territory Of Hawaii in mass
meeting assembled, declares in favor
of an honest and capable administra-
ton of county affairs, and pledges
itself to promote and perpetuate the
great principles so successfully cham
pioned by its noble founders
The Democratic party of Hawaii be-
IeVes that the patl onage of the gov
eminent should be bestowed only on
citizens of the Territory, or those eli
gible to become such, and we pledge
ourselves to support citizen labor on
all county public works.
The Democratic party hedges itself
to stNnd for the good of the common
people against all aggressors of mo-
nopolistic greed and corruption, and to
strive to make of the county govern
ment of Oahu, model of honesty and
efficiency that will continue to demon
strate its right to the high esteem it
has always held In the hearts and
minds of lovers of good government
everywhere.

MASS MEETING
A CONVENTION
DEMOCRATS ADOPT A PLATFORM
AND NOMINATE THREE CAN
DIDATEs FOR SUPERVISORS.

The Democratic mass meeting at
into a convention during the progress
of the evening and a platform was
adopted and three candidates for sup
ervisor We're put up. The balloting
showed that there were fifty present
who were followers of jefferson and
took part in the proceedings. Some
well known Republicans or Home
Rulers had seats on the floor of the
convention. Col. c. P. Iaukea was
conspicuous also Solomon Meheula
and Carlos A. Long.
The only contest of the evening was
for supervisor at large, which was
given to F. j. Tesla, The names of
E. A. McInerny, Tesla and C. w. Ash
ford were before the convention"
There was no roll call and no test of
qualifications to vote. 1t appeared to
be a free for all voting contest. Those
present threw ballots in a hat and
then the Chairman Turrill said Amy
more Democrats who want TO vote?"
He gave the call three times and no
more voters showed up, and the votes
were therefore counted.
On the first ballot McInerny got 49,
Tesla IS and Ashford 10. There were
enough representatives of the Kapio-
lani estate present to make up the
larger part of Ashford's vote. Accord
ing to a resolution that had been
adopted he withdrew being the lowest
man, and then his followers went to
Tesla. The next vote was Tesla 30,
~ Co. a
unanimous nomination and McInerny
said he would withdraw in favor of
Tesla, wnereupon Turrill but the mo-
ton for a unanimous nomination and
it carried. Tesla was called upon for
speech and someone shouted to him
to take his coat off, which he did, re-
vealing manly outlines which called
forth audible regrets that Yardley
was absent from the touching scene.
Tesla said that if he was elected he
would do his best, and thanked the
convention"
Col. c. ]. Mccarthy was unanimously
nominated in the Fourth District and
Frank Harvey in the fifth after vote
had been taken against putting up
more than three candidates. Both
made appropriate speeches of thanks
During the discussion the statement
was made that the Home Rulers
would support the nominees. 1t APP
peared that the Democrats were out
for a chance at what offices the
Home Rulers admittedly have no show
of getting. 1t being stated that the
Home Rulers would not nominate in
the Fourth, acknowledging their in
evitable defeat.

Sources of Color.

An Interesting enumeration has Deen
publIshed in a technical journal OF the
sources of color. From this it appears
that the cochineal insects furnish the
gorgeous carmine, crimson, scarlet car
mine and purple lakes; the cuttensn
gives sepia-that is, the inky huid
which the fish discharges In order TO
render the water opaque when attack
ed; the Indian yellow comes from the
camel. ivory chips produce the ivory
black and bOneblack, the exquisite
Prussian blue comes from fusing horse
hoofs and other refuse animal matter
with impure potassium carbonate, va
rjous lakes are derived from roots,
barks and gums; blue black comes
from the charcoal Of the vine stock
turkey red is made from the madder
plant which grows in Hindustan; the
yellow sap of a Siamese tree produces
oemboqe. raw sienna is the natural
earth from the neighbOrhood OF Sleha,
italy. raw lumber is an earth founu
near Umbria. india Ink is made from
burned camphor, mastic Is made IRON
the gum of the mastic tree, which
grows I'm the Grecian archipelago;
bister is the SCOT of wood ashes; very
little real uitramarine, obtained from
the precious lapis lazuli, is found in the

The ImDOSsibIe.

The Duke of Wellington wanted a
certain piece of work done and in
structed an officer Of the Royal engi-
neers to do it. After examination the
officer informed the duke that it was
impossible.
The duke sent for another officer q
much younger man and attached to an
other division of the army. This Off
Ger did what the duke required.
The next morning there appeared in
the "orders of the day" the following
eplgrammatic note: "Ie who in war
fails to do what he undertakes may al
ways plead accident, which invariably
attends military affairs; but he who de-
clares a thing to be impossible which
is subsequently accomplished registers
his own incapacity."

eating on the Nose For PuniShmen'

Cutting on the Nose For Punishmem
Rameses II. of Egypt cut OH the
nose of any person convicted of treason
or arson. Actisanes, another Egyptian
ruler. punished robbers in the same
way. After each nose had been ampu-
tated back even with the bridge the
culprit was sent to a colony of noseless
felons, the place of Punishment Deihg
known as Rhinoconum, from the ma
ture of the punishment its colonists
had undergone.
In England In 1911 Lord Coventry,
then "great keeper Of the British seal,
had his nose cut off by order of the
king because he had dared to ask some
questions about an actress then play
ing at Drury Lane theater.
A conscript who protested openly
that he had been enrolled in the army
of Frederick the Great in a fraud
ulent manner had his nose amputated
by order Of that sovereign, who spoke
of the punishment as an "indellble
mark on the front side Of the face"

a Wedding In Holland.

A Dutch wedding is curious con-
trast to an English one. In Holland
the wedding party enters the churcn
two and two, the procession Deing
headed by the bride and bridegroom
Forms are arranged in a semicircie
round the pulpit, and there the young
people with their friends and relatives
seat themselves. The ceremony con-
slsts of the reading of a portion OF
Scripture and a long admonitlon 10 the
bride and bridegroom, delivered extern
pore by the black gowned minister
The prayers are sat through Ike the
rest of the service, for it is against
Calvinistic custom to kneel to pray
At the close of the service Bibles are
presented to the young couple ana 10
certain of their relatives. Then tne
marriage is registered. This free as
tr4bution of Bibles, which is made by
the state, accounts for the very small
sale there is for the Holy Scriptures
in Holland.

Wrong Foot Out of Bed.

About half the world puts the wrong
foot out of bed in the morning. But
which is the wrong foot? 1t is a SUI
perstion as old as the hills that if the
left foot touches the floor first you will
