No Grace Before Meala.

The Persian Grand .Vizier got very
rude shock in Honolulu. He came
from the country of Mohammedan be-
lief and burst full upon a Christian
community. The Grand vizier and his
secretaries took their meals in the cafe
of the Alexander Young Hotel and it
was there that he questioned as to
whether he had really found Chris
tian community. On the occasion of
every meal he walked solemnly to his
table, his two secretaries closely fol-
lowing, and in the presence of all the
people dining there three Persian heads
We're bowed over the table in prayer for
some minutes. Grace being disposed
of the pilgrim to Mecca seemed to
enjoy as large a repast as anyone else
but he is said to have commented upon
the fact that no one else entering the
cafe said grace before commencing
meal.

Raising SQUADS for market.

Up to very few years ago pigeon
raising was considered a boys sport
only. but their interesting ways, the
fascination of breeding them for the
show pen and the demand for squa BIS
by hotels and restaurants prompted a
few men to take them up as recrea-
ton or a business, and the success of
these few caused others to joint them
until now it has become quite a large
industry. We will first take up the
breeding of pigeons for squad selling
There is only one variety of pigeons
used for this purpose-tne common
variety. They are worth nothing for
the show pen, but are very prolific, each
pair rearing eight or nine pairs of
squads year. 1t takes squads but one
month to mature, that is, they are full
grown and ready for market one month
from Matching. The old birds have
made their second nest and laid their
eggs before the last young ones ara
grown. 1t takes the eggs eighteen days
to hatch, so that about every month
and a half there is pair of squads
ready for market from each pair. The
principal food for pigeons is wheat,
though a little cracked corn with this
is good for them.
Cleanliness and system mean success
with squads, and though much is said
to the contrary they require consider
able care in order to get the very best
results. They do we'll in nearly any
climate, though place where the win
tiers are short and not severe is the
best. The Southern States and Cali
fornia are the best suited for this in
dustry, and they contain many farms
which make a speciality of SQUAD rails

200, 600 old birds.-Outdoors

4 JApAr ESE PRINCE.

Prince Konoye Of japan, who lately
died. had a German cast of coun-
4! tenance, or as nearly so as its racial
structure would permit. BY that token
one might know that he had been edu-
Gated in Germany. So Impressions bic

they quickly take the hue of their sur
roundfngs. The late Minister Full,
once Consul General here. had spent
most of his official life in the United
States and he had the American pecu-
| arities of accent, dress and manner.
The writer once saw him crossing the
great field or plaza in Tokyo which
fronts the Government buildings and a
friend noting him in the crowd a long
way of, said There goes an AneTi-
can" But Mr.. Fujii was japanese to

Prince Konoye had a round, we'll

and the Berlin newspapers. In looks
he was a German done in sandalwoQd !
and dressed in a kimono. AT any |
gathering of Japanese public men few t
years ago and presumably until late

other Japanese mobiles educated as he
was. and those who knew their speech

red vest; even the inscrutable Russian
was there, hand-in-giove with the
alert, business-ifke American. And it

PROGRESS, THE IcoNocLAsT.

common school has the seeds in it of
lifting the astrakan hat off the swar-
thy brow of Abdul Mira Khan and re-
placing it with the yisored headpiece
of the chauffeur; it can put a checked
suit on him, a four-in-hand tie about
his throat. and garb his once sandaIed
feet in waukenphasts. If the school
comes, the sky-scraper will follow, the
paved street, the trolley car, the auto
mobile, the piped water, the Paris
modes, the sewer, the policeman, the
political Judge, the beer garden, the
such is the Kingdom of knowledge.
And mayhap, before long, the columns
of the Teheran Commercial Advertiser
win run dry with a discussion of

THE CARS ATTITUDE.


The appearance Of King Edward in
the role Of peacemaker has had the re-
suit of bringing the Car in person
into the field of diplomacy. In theory
the Gar runs Russia; in practice he
is diffident gentleman. supported by
the State in great spiendor and quite
willing TO ease the burdens Of Office
upon the shoulders Of his Ministry.
Now and then he has shown initia-
tive as he did when he proposed dis
armament; but in that particular case
he had not gone far, before his Min
istry rearmed the artillery branch of
the army at a cost of many million
roub1es The Gar was gibed for in
sincerity by the foreign press, but the
probability is that he was candid in,
his desire for peace, but simply let his
Ministers have their way rather than
take the trouble to combat them.
Nicholas II. is not a William IL; he
does not lead a strenuous life; he
means well but win not fight for his
ideas against the united opposition
of his soldiers and statesmen.
At least that is his record so far.
Whether, under the personal inspira-
ton of King Edward. who seems to
have inherited the late Queens taste
for and finesse in diplomacy, the Gar !
will develop a backbone, remains to |
be seen. He has gone SO far as to |
receive the japanese minister and talk |
things over with him; and cable
gram from Germany expresses the |
view that he may grant concessions
which his proxy rulers have denied. |
IL he does so, the Russian system of /
which has rarely come to it since the
time OF Catherine. Autocrats in name
and in law though they have been, the
predecessors of Nicholas H. were the
slaves and puppets of the Warwicks
behind the throne. In the old days
when a Car asserted himself against
his advisers he was quickly put out of
the way The phrase "a despotic pow
er tempered by assassination was APP
piled to his scheme of authority. Pal
ace revolutions have gone out in Rus
STA and the modern Muscovite method
Of dealing with a monarch who takes
the bit in his teeth has not been de-
veloped. Perhaps it will take the new
form of moral suasion.
Assuredly the Car, in setting him
self against the trend of empire in Rus
STA, would have to deal with a colossal
power. He would be like a fence of
iron palings in front of glacier. EN-
pife to Russia means geographical
progress and expansion; the goal is
China and Korea first and then all
Asia. Slowly and with glacial mo-
nentuni the empire has spread beyond
he Amur and reached the sea at Port
Arthur Beyond to the westward are
he waiting plains of China and India,
he deserts Of Persia and Arabia.
Shall a Gar call a splendid progress
o a halt because the King of England
wishes to put off the day of midas
.risis? That is a question which wifi
De asked among themselves by the
statesmen at St. Petersburg. What
will the Car do if the question is put
O him? Or will he see it coming and
etreat?

second coat in the same manner. After
the second coat is thoroughly dry
paint with a thin coat of shellac and
you will have bright and serviceable
polish. A painted or a stained floor
is very pretty, but waxed floor is
much nicer than either though it takes
little more work to prepare it. 1t
is necessary to have a wellplaned

cleaned sand-paper, then brush it we'll

Let this stand thirty-six hours; then
apply floor wax with soft cloth, COW
ering the surface well, but not too
thiclxly. Let this stand for at least a
full day; then add a second coat of
wax. After the second coat has been
on an hour begin polishing. This is
done with very heavy brush, and the
floor must be gone over three times

grain and lastly with a thick wool
cloth under the brush. To clean a
