THE meeting was deeply interested
by the Republican, senator's views as
to the way to win against the Republi-
can ticket and those present gathered
about him to listen. 1t was private
meeting, at which campaign plans were
being discussed, not a public gathering
and the Democrats present wanted to
know from Brown why it was that he
did not meet with them in the public
gatherings and speak from their plat
forms as he did at first. The senaor
replied that he was not well enough to
do such campaign work. He has just
returned from a campaign trip to the
other side of the island.
Brown told the Democratic leaders
that he was sure of his own election
and was also sure that Harvey, Camp
bell and Langston of the Democratic
ticket would be elected with him. He
said he expected to draw many votes
from Bishop and Lane and that the
mercantile community was going to
split the Republican ticket.
IF the Democrats, especially the
Hawaiians, vote the straight Democrat
ic ticket. they will win,' was the sub
stance of Browns advice, but if they
scratch they will lose AS a result of
the Republican senator's advice the
Democrats are going to raise the
straight ticket cry.
Before leaving the meeting Senator
Brown presented the Headquarters with
a large photo of himself. 1t was not
intended that the meeting should be
public, but the story of Browns visit
to the council of those whom he openly
declares are mis- political enemies leak

CHAIRMAN
w. ALANSON BRYAN,
Advisory Committee.

Tt is proposed by the Citizens Com
mittee to select shortly some bad mos
quito breeding place in the city to
work upon, where the methods can be
observed by citizens generally, and
then to have the work endorsed by the
observers. This will be preliminary to
bringing the crusade to the attention
of the Legislature.
Mr. Wall of the Survey Department
has consented to assist by preparing
maps and plans of the mosquito dis
tricts, and it is proposed in the appli-
cation to the Legislature to ask that
the Survey Department cooperate in
the crusade to this extent. The COM
mittee is at present of the mind TO
have inserted in the bin that the con-
tinuaI keeping of containers filled with
water on premises. where they become
breeders OF MOSQUITOES, be made mis-
demeanor or subject to fine.

Camels in Somaliland are kept in
great herds sometimes numbering 3d.
OOl. Such numbers involve wide areas
for grazing and consequent distances
from the few places where water may
be found. The ponies used by the So
mali can also manage without drink for
three or four days and when employed
for herding have, like their masters,
only camels' milk to quench their
thirst. These big herds offer, of course,
a tremendous temptation to the raider
as many as 10000 camels being taken
at d time, and the excitement of driv-
ing off such haul at full gallop for
forty or fifty miles, with the exasperat-
ed owner possibly hard in pursuit and
the chances of the raider finding bis
own camp has fallen prey to some
other tribal diversion, appeals irresist-
tbly to the excitable Somai.

Pensions In the Cisil Service.

What TO do with or for the superannu.
ated clerks in the government service
is question that is perplexing con-
gress and will continue to be more per-
picking with each passing year until
it is settled On the rolls of the vari-
Gus departments are large numbers Of
men and women whose working days
are over, but who are still paid salaries,
being held in their positions by the
general theory of tenure during good
behavior and whose dismissal without
some provision for their declining
years is step from which bureau
chiefs naturally shrink So they are
kept in the service long after the peri
cd of their usefulness and efficiency has
ceased.
The idea of civil pension list is not
popular in this country, and there Is
small prospect of its establishment
There is a general sentiment that gov
eminent clerks as body receive high
err pay for less work than any other
class of employees, and it is quite uni
versally held that they are in no sense
entitled to protection by the govern
ment from the inevitable consequences
of their own misfortune or IMPROVE
dence. The expense of the military
pensions is heavy and increasing,
which furnishes another argument
against pensions for favored class of
civilians whose lot at the worst is
easier than that of most wage earners
and whose duties involve none of the
risks inseparable from the military
and naval services.
Nevertheless the operations of the
civil service regulations are producing
a large army of superannuated and
wornout employees for whose support
some provision will apparently be nee
essary After devoting the best years
of their lives to the public service they
cannot well be turned out in old age
to shift for themselves, even though it
be their own fault that they have not
acquired competency for declining
years
Thus is presented the ultimate neces-
sity of providing some form of relief
for superannuated employees without
crippling the public service or unduly
draining the public purse. A plan has
been suggested by the civil service
commission which seems feasible 1t
is proposed to establish by law regu-
lar civil pension list to provide for the
retirement under certain conditions of
all persons in the classified service and
to require all employees entering that
service to pay out of their salaries a
monthly premium sufficient to pay
their pensions after retirement This
would mean eventually scheme Of
mutual insurance which would be self
supporting and entail upon the govern
ment only the expense Of collecting and
disbursing the funds and keeping the
books.

HOMES OF HEALING.


The History of Hospitals Begins
with the First Century.
The temple at Epidaurus was found
ed by Antoninus Plus at the end Of the
first century A. D. in honor Of Escu-
lapius, Homers blameless physician.
Beyond the sacred inclosure was a
building for the reception Of the sick
and dying, which Strabo describes as
a place renowned for the cure Of all
diseases, always full Of invalids and
containing votive tablets descriptive of
cures.
About $50 A. d. a hospital was found
ed by valens and richly endowed by
him at Cesarea, and another at Rome
by Fabiola, wealthy Roman widow,
for the reception of the sick poor
Basil is said by Gregory, the pres
byter, to have built large hospital
for lepers with money collected for the
purpose. The Hotel Dieu In Paris,
founded in the seventh century, and
two founded in 1880 by Lanfranc,
archbishop of Canterbury, were both
connected with monastic establish
ments. Bartholomew, 1547, and ST.
Thomas, 1853, are the oldest hospitals
in London and were both originally re-
ligious foundations.

PROLIFIC INSECTS.
The Termites, or white Ants, Are
the Greatest Egg Layers.

the Greatest Egg Layers.
There is infinite variety in the num-
Der of eggs laid by different animals,
the general rule being that those high
est in the, scale of life are least prolific.
Among vertebrates fish are the most
prolific. Trout and salmon average
1000 eggs to every pound of weight.
auckland reckoned the roe Of half
pound herring at 1880, of an eight
pound turbot at 3S5,0O0 and Of thirty
pound cod at 100000, while the stur-
geon has more than third of its
weight ready for the toothsome caviare.
Mollusks vary in their powers OF re-
production from thirty to fifty at
time in snais. 10 the thousands OF the
whelk, while the spat of some reaches
100000. 1t is among insects that stu
pendous numbers appear, reaching
climax in the termites. or white ants.
The queens of these are egg laying
machines of the most astonishing fe-
cundity. They become huge cylindrical
packages. 1000 times their usual size,
chained to one spot. The laying at
the rate of sixty eggs minute, or 3d.
900 day, reaches probably in two
years the enormous total OF 50,000.0O0!

Russia,s New Naval Commander.

1t will be interesting to note the re-
suits of the placing of Vice Admiral
Makaroff, the ice breaking specialist of
the Russian navy, in command of the
cars feet in the far east, superseding
Vice Admiral Stark, whose command
has been marked by series of defeats
and disasters which has greatly Grip
pied Russias sea fighting force and
practically given Japan control of the
naval situation. Admiral Makaroff
is one of the most eminent of Russian
scientists and inventors. He is the
inventor of the ice breaking device
which has been of vast Importance to
Russian commerce in time of peace
and which is now proving no less
useful in time of war 1t was the EN-
ployment OF this device which a few
days ago enabled the Vladivostok fleet
to emerge from that ice bound harbOr
and permitted it to become an active
factor in the naval campaign against
Japan 1t remains to be seen whether
the appointment of this eminent naval
specialist will restore to Russia its lost
prestige on the sea.

Messages of war.

Among the natives of Australia
notched and carved sticks are used for
messages. For instance. a piece of
wood carried from one village to an.
other with straight and curved lines
cut upon it is a message of war and
means: There is fight on hand.
Fetch your spears and boomerangs."
The North American Indians utilized
wampum belts from time immemorial
for like purposes. The arrangement Of
the different colored beads conveyed

how Joseph of Arimathea, In visiting

at once began to grow and ever after,
so the legend says, lowered on Christ

Peculiar Land tenure custom.

At Chingford, in Essex, England, an
estate is held by very strange con-
dition. Whenever it passes into new
hands the owner, with his wife, man
servant and maidservant comes on
horseback to the parsonage and pays
his homage by blowing three blasts
upon horn. He carries hawk upon
his fist and his servant has a grey
hound in the slip. both for the use of
the rector for that day. He receives a
chicken for the hawk, a peck of oats
for his horse and loaf of bread for
his greyhound. After dinner the own.

LABRADOR.
At Rs Pieturesque Country With

Many Great Waterfalls.

and discouraging. She is not all moss

point Of view she has something to
offer that will interest the world. I'm
fortunately it is possible to reach the
country by water during only four
months Of the year. Dog sledges and
snowshoes are the medium of travel
the remainder of the year. There are
no roads
The interior of Labrador has been
found to be tableland, about 1900 feet
above sea level, the foothills Of which
reach down to the Atlantic coast.
Piercing these foothills at intervals
along the 760 miles Of coast line are
deep inlets, some Of which resemble
Norwegian hords. OF these perhaps
the most picturesque is Nachrach bay.
i, 100 miles north of st. Johns. 1t Is
mile or more wide and twenty miles
long. Great shouldering cliffs, more
than 1900 feet high, jut out into the
water on either side, glistening cas-
cades tumble over their sides, and lnys-
Hfying sea cayerns lure one to explore
them. Fifteen miles from the mouth is
a waterfall Of tremendous height. Its
altitude has been variously estimated
at from 400 to 900 feet. Tumbling over
the edge of the cliff In cascade, it
takes this great leap and then dashes
along on it's foamy way down several
hundred feet until it drops into the
bay. This is by no means the largest
waterfall in the country New York

heated fat saturates the meat and deli

Is why lots Of people can't eat ducks

and less easily digested, there being
much less lean meat in proportion to
the fat. Most of my customers are now

For at least six days before killing
barnyard fowls must be e0oped, not
huddled, have good, clean space
md be well fed on corn for at least
1--WE days. Then for twenty -four hours
before killing they should be fed on
skinned milk or soft boiled rice The
night before the killing the turkey
must have plenty of water, but no
food, which leaves the crop empty, the
lntestines clean, the dark meat quite
light, and gives flavor as different as
possible from the offensive flavor that
