In patiios and deep affection no love

the knapsack of Confederate soldier
after the battle of Atlanta. 1t told all

It's hard for you uns to be fghtip the

It's hard for we uns from you uns to part
Cause you uns got we uns heart.

Ground up mummy makes n brown
of a certain rare color that nothing
else can give. 1t is on account Of the
asphaltum in the mummy that this is
40. The Egyptians wrapped their dead
in garments coated with asphaltum of
an incomparably ine and pure quality.
This asphalcum s'the centuries passed
impregnated the tissues of the dead
themselves 1t turned them into the
best paint material in the world. Be
ing exceedingly expensive, it is used
only by portrait painters in depicting
brown hair.

Preventive Fer Binci. Rot In cabbaE

Preventive Tor Black Rot In Cabbage
Cabbage and caulifiower have be-
come very subject to black rot in New
York. The Geneva experiment station
has found that the dry seed may carry
the germs Of this disease over the Win
ter and that the germs may live for at
least ten months in the seed. This fact
points, of course, to disinfection of the
seed as q safeguard against black rot.
The station recommends as safe and
easy method that cabbage and cauli-
flower seed be soaked for fifteen min
utes in n one to thousand solution of
corrosive sublimate. The seed should
then be spread out TO dry. The most
convenient method of preparing the
solution 10 by using corrosive subli-
mate tablets, which are sold by drug
gists for making disinfecting solutions.
A tablet costing about q cent is suf3-
cient 10 make pint of the solution,
enough to treat one pound of seed.

sizes might make it cheaper TO pur-
chase one of the smaller and less ex-
pensive pumps, says Professor L. III.
Taft of Michigan in American Agricul-
turist in submitting some information
as follows about spraying machinery
in general:
BY using two to four good barrel
pumps it might be possible to do as
much spraying as with a good power
pump, but the scarcity of reliable help
which prevails in most parts of the
country is a serious objection to this
plan. To make spraying effectual it
must be done at the proper time, and
an outfit that will make this possible
should be secured even though the cost
does seem high.
While steam is used to some extent
for power machines, most of them use
either compressed mir or gasoline en-
gines. The compressed air machines
are of two classes. In one the air is
compressed at some central point
where the spraying material is pre-
pared either with a steam or gasoline
taken either from the axle or the hind
wheels of the spraying wagon. Some
machines use one tank for both air and
spraying liquid, while others have a
tank for each.
The use of central station for COM
preston of the air is not feasible ex-
cept where one has q large amount of
spraying to do or where power ana
spraying material can be furnished to
neighboring orchardists. 1t seems to
be of especial value in sections where
there are large areas infested with the
San Jose scale, as the steam which Is
needed for preparing the sulphur and
lime mixture can be used for COM
pressing the air. With an air storage
tank and three spraying rigs a large
amount Of work can be done by such n
plant For the average orchardist the
traction outfits will be likely to give
much better satisfaction. They are
considerably lower in cost, simpler in
construction and will do excellent work.
With the potato sprayer shown, four
rows at time can be treated, making
the work Of applying the mixture COM
paratively light Bordeaux and paris
green can be applied at the same time.
If bugs alone are to be contended with,
only paris green need be used.
The outfits in which power is OBJ
tanned from a gasoline engine have
both advantages and disadvantages.
Among the latter are the cost and the
fact that they are somewhat compli-
Gated and require a person in charge
who is something of a mechanic and
familiar with the working of an en-
gina. On the other hand, with good
outfit and everything working right,
as it often does for days and weeks
without anything but ordinary atten-
ton to the engine, two men can do as
much as six or eight with barrel
pumps, and, as the pressure can be
carried at 100 pounds or more without
difficulty, it win be possible to secure
the finest kind of mist and thus do
much better spraying than will be pos
sible with hand pump.

THANKSGIVING.

The most beautiful feature OF
Thanksgiving day is the reunion OF
families. especially where the gather
ing takes place under the cid home
roof. IN New England. Thanksgiving
custom has had its most perfect un-
folding and there it is almost new
commandment that the sons ar I
daughters shall come back and JON
hearts and hands about the family
altar. Hawaii was born again with the
New England spirit and here as there
the old circles are renewed and the Old
stories told and the old affections
layished; and the whole year seems
frightened by the joy of single day.
But not for all. aiasi There are exiles
in this far outpost whose loneliness is
never so hard to bear as when the IN
cense rises from the festival OF the
homes that know them not.
Scarcely less beautiful than the fea-
ture of family reunions is that OF
charity. On other days of the year
charity is duty which we deNolve
upon Society, content to let it act
for us; but on Thanksgiving day,
charity becomes the outward express
sion of an inward grace and the good
man gives with his own hand. "AH
shall share in the happiness of this
day" as a colonial preacher said, Test
anv forget Gods Providence and turn
from it unawares. None may be bid
den from the door and if any hunger,
then shall they be fed"
The religious aspect of Thanksgiving
day was once a more salient one than
now. but it can never pass while be-
lief in Gods grace and mercy obtains
among those VINO keep the festival
The very word Thanksgiving" sug-
gests a form of worship. an acknowl-
edgment of debt to the author of all
good things. And SO. in the Executive
proclamation and in the opening Of the
churches, in the special grace spoken .
at Christian feasts, the worship of God !
is invited and ordained, Today the ma
alon gives thanks for the peace and ,
security within it's borders, for the
plenty which abounds and for the /
strength and hope of youth: and the I
whatever his ills may have
been. gives thanks for the mercies
which have made the hardships easier
to bear. !

Arbitration treaties are piling up,
the United States having made sew
eral, with more to follow. AT the
Mohonk Conference the arbitration
people reported so much progress as
to warrant the hope that, in a few
years time, many of the causes of
war may be eliminated Short of the
millenium, war cannot be done away
with, any more than the organization
of courts for the settlement of private
feuds did away with crime and vio-
lence; but it can be made difficult for
war to come from number of the
causes which have produced some of
the bloody encounters of the past.

The Advertiser remarked, when the
police change occurred. that the public
would do well to note the bullying APP
pearance of the Governors sleeve.
More reasons for the sudden shake-up
were seen last night when ex-Detective
McDuffie and ex-Oncer All On were ar
rested under indictments charging them
with having accepted briDes while in
the performance of their duty as exec
utive officers. The evidence upon which
these indictments We're based could
have been found up the gubernatorial
sleeve some time ago. Inasmuch. as
McDuffie and All On were not supposed
to be grating solely on their own ac-
count, further sensations are expected.
The old reform question in New York,
Where did you get it?' begins to loom
, rather ominously.

THE sisAL INDUSTRY.

The proposition made by the Hale
akaia Ranch Company to the Board
of Agriculture and to Land Commits
sioner Pratt, once more brings this
latent industry to the front.
The sisal company at Eva has $50
acres under cultivation and is now
planting $50 acres more.
The Hawaiian Agricultural Company.
of Kau already has several hundred
acres of sisal and during the next few
months will Increase it to 500 acres.
The Haiku Sugar Company is in
stalling a sisaI plantation on its land
below the old Haiku mill, under the
management of Mr.. Fred Baldwin. 1t
already has some 200 acres planted
and is steadily increasing its acreage.
Mr.. Knudsen at Waimea. Kauai, has
a number of thousand plants and Mr..
Beckley has made a good beginning at
Molokai
thoroughly tested the possibilities of
the dry lower Kula district, and thar
produced an article which 1.-The Tubbs
Cordage Company of San Francisco
pronounce to be of the best quality,
worth $50 ton, the present price OF
the best Yucatan fibre, which is the
worlds standard for sisal.
The proposal of the Haleakala COM
pany is that the government homestead
the land of omaopio in Kula, Maui
and that if done it will furnish sisal
plants TO homesteaders, at cost, TAX
ing payment in labor at the option OF
the homesteader; pipe water to the
land for domestic purposes; put ur
machinery to clean sisal raised by the
homesteaders at an agreed price.
As the land is rich land. on existing
roads and near good harbors, this
should give good opportunity fol
testing whether sisa1 can be profitabls
raised as special industry by the
small farmer.
An especially favorable feature at
tendant upon the proposition, is tina
the land is adjacent to the centra
Maui plantations: that the manage
ment thereof is favorable to the propo
sition and is willing to furnish EN-
ployment to homesteaders during an.
spare time which they may have.

RUSSIA AND PROGRESS.

Thu Zenstvo memorial, which ma
been presented to the Car of Russia
asking for more liberal form of gov
eminent, may come to nothing now
but it signifies a spirit of unrest OF
of which great changes may accrue II
future. Russia and Turkey are the
| sole monarchies of Europe which re-
! main absolute in form and Russia,
more than Turkey, is affected by mod
ern IDEAS and sympathies. The Turk
J rarely goes from home; the Russian is
| becoming more and more a traveller
and a reader, and as his horizon ok
pands he chafes because that of his
nation is so narrow. He begins to feel
that he has something more than
domiciliary interests in his own coun-
try. and that Russia cannot hope to
be great in vital things until it ac-
quires a people who have partfc-
fpatory interest sin the government
1t is automatic that patriotism, which
is the strongest safeguard of any land,
reaches its best estate among an in
telligent people who have something
to say about their own political al
fairs. The patriotic uplift in Japan
came after the constitution had been
granted. Frenchmen, after the Revolu-
ton became inspired by love of
country which had been far less virile
under the ancient regime. The rea-
son is on the surface. Those who live
in their own homes are attached to
them as no mental or guest can ever
be; but the moment the mental or
guest becomes a part-owner his at
tachment is equal to theirs. A negro
slave, even if well-treated in the days
before the American Civil War. had
no love for the country; now he is
ready to shed his blood for it. because
he feels that it is his and that in it
he is a free man.
The position of the Russian subject
in the State is that of an hereditary
bondman He is a political serf. Rus
STA is nothing for him but a prison
house, where his conduct is closely |
watched and even his reading cen
sored. Naturally he has no desire to
make his prison stronger or his jailer +
more powerful. He will fight if made !
to, after the Hessian fashion; but the
battle and it's results are nothing to
him. An Empire made in this way has
no thinking bayonets, no public spirit, !
no devoted loyalty, no cohesive people. |!
no deep, sbounding vitality. Vast as
the framehork of Russia is, it is totter- |
ing under the blows of the little brown !
man from the East, and it is counting
the days when its outer defences win
fall.
The Zenstvo memorial points the
way to future victory and to over
strength; but all Russia |,
knows that the Car in his blindness /
will reject it just as Napoleon did the
appeal of Fulton, when the great in
ventor came before the autocrat with
the steamboat in his brain, offering the
mastery of the seas and the perpetu-
ity of the empire.
