A CHANCE FOR HAWAII.

consideration in exchange

might do for us, some of which we shall
have in time anyway such as forts and
public buildings. What we should pull

a BURDEN ON HAWAII.

The request from Washington that
Honal,,Iu shall do something for the
entertainment of sixty Philippine Conn
r,aissioners is the third one of the kind
which has been received during the
mast few months. The last previous re-
sanest had to do with Prince Pu Lun
and the one before that with Secretary
raft and party. Quite likely the Fed
eral Government will request similar
attentions for the Duke DAbfuzzl.
Honolulu, as the first American port 70

preliminary honors for the Federal
Government and even. on occasion, 70

rites going to or coming from the
worlds Fair.
All this is delightful but costly. The
Governor has. we believe. a small sum
at his disposal for state entertain
rlents, but single great function
would use it up. 1t was not the Leg
islative intention. moreover, to spend
this money for the deleetation of the
guests of the United States government
hat for such distinguished American
visitors as Senator's, Ministers Plenipo-
tentiary, Governors and Generals In
the present exigency, that for the en-
tertainrnent of sixty Philippine Conn
nissioners, the burden has been passed
to private citizens; ard the Chamber
of Commerce and Merchants Associa-
ton are considering an elaborate pro-
gram of entertainment TO properly
house and feed these people and show
them the island can hardly cost less
than $500; indeed, that sum would cut
things very close.
Now so far as Hawaii is individually
concerned it does not care anything for
the good or Ill opinion of Chinese
princes or Philippine commissioners. Tt
looks for no immigration nor any great,
amount of tourist travel nor advertis-a
ing from these transient classes. OF
course it wishes them we'll and would
be glad to have them drop off at any
time to see the sights and spend some-
thing; but it naturally asks why it
should devote hard-earned and much
needed local money to their entertain
ment when the benefit, if any, win
accrue to the United States.
And this brings us to the point II
Honolulu is to be an insular reception
bureau for the guests of Uncle Sam,
then Uncle Sam should see that the
necessary moneys are provided for pay
ing the bills. There is a large enter
tainnent fund at washington Could
not some Of it be deposited here to the
order of the Governor for such use as
the coming of the sixty Philippine COM
znissioners implies Assuredly the
President cannot expect this overour-
dened Territory to foot such bills any
more than he could expect the District
of Columbia to do it: nor is it fair to
ask the Governor or the commercial
bodies to assume an obligation which
is purely Federal ana public in its ma
ture.

MARKETING HONEY.
TIE Deekeeper who Pats His 0oeas

Fails to Sell Them.

The form in which an article Is
placed upon the market is half of the
sale Of It. The consumers eye is more
particular than few years ago and
the times when honey was sold from
the supers or the large glass boxes are
% thing Of the past. Nowadays, honey
must be neat, clean and attractive to
place In the hands of the consumer,
but he pays for it over and over in
gross price.
/ First, put 1t up in neat cases of six,
eight or ten pounds. This will be about
right for the family trade. If sold to
grocers, then in Is or 80 pound crates;
but better price will result If sold
direct to the consumer. think any
farmer is duty bound to himself to be
his own salesman as far as possible.
Give good weight and good goods and
your produce will always command q
higher price than If sold through the
commission man. Through the gen
eral market find out what kind of q
crop there will be and what price is to
be had. It pays any 1armer to be
posted on the markets and this paper
will be found always reliable Then at
the approach of cold weather, sell. Do
not be ashamed to put your name on
your honey and II It is not up to good
quality do not sell 1t. Pack your
crates neatly, without putting the most
snowy in front. Keep all damned and
leaky cakes out. as they make q bad
mess and spoil the sales of good cakes.
Keep your clover, Eastwood and buck
wheat honey separate, as each kind
will have its favorites, some preferrine
one, some the other. Sell by the cake
and not by weight; this will be found
much more convenient.
Sometimes we wish to keep comb
honey for better market; also to
have a supply the year around. To dc

CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From The Governor Of OREGON.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation
and commentator testifying to the
merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving hum
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, heclerls, the editor, thestatesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is we'll nigh universal; almost om-
nipresent. Peruna is the only absolute
safeguard known. A cold is the be-
ginning of catarrh. To prevent colds.

Many good chickens are spoiled by
being packed before they are thorough
ly cooled. Care should be taken that
all the animal heat is out of the body
before the fowls are packed, and this
requires at least IL hours. Chickens
are then packed in boxes, as shown in

BOOSTING IN TREES.
That Should be Rcpresxed by
Their Owners.

Thousands Of farmers permit their
turkeys, and sometimes their chick
ems, 10 roost in trees during all sea-
sons of the year. Cold and exposure
prevent laying. When fowls are al.
lowed to live in the open air, they
require all the animal heat they can
get to keep themselves warm, and &C.
cordingly have none to spare for the
production Of eggs. When one Is keep
ing fowls merely as q pleasure, and
does not care whether they make or
lose money, it is perhaps as good q
plan to allow the birds to depend upon
themselves, but eggs will be lacking
during the colder months of the year.
Fowls are creatures Of habit, and even
II the farmer decides to build for his
flock comfortable poultry-house, 1t
will not prevent them from roosting
in the trees in winter unless they are
taught that the houses are for their
accommodation. This is done by
catching them at night, and placing
them in the house. where they must
be confined for a week, at the end of
which time they will have forgotten
their former roosting-places. I and
when given their liberty will return at
night to their new quarters Outdoor
exposure is ruinous to birds of all
kinds. When allowed to roost in trees,
they become the prey of owls; or if on
the ground. they are liable to destruc-
ton from four-footed enemies. Tur-
keys often become lame from the
freezing of their feet, while breeds
of poultry with large combs and wat
ties also suffer severely. Fowls that
are not provided for are not fitted for
producing eggs, and the farmer conse.
quently loses the use Of their services
by not giving them proper care. AS
eggs are usually high during the win
ter season, any expense in the poul-
try department should result in good
profit ON the investment during that
time.-Farm and Fireside.

SCHOOL DAY MEMORIES.
Boys Are More Apt to Forget Punish.

Girls Are.

speaking of the difference between
boys and girls in the schoolroom," said
ateacher in the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat, lit is very interesting when you
come to mark it we'll, for it is difference
which runs the course of life with them.
Considering the immediate effects of the
teachers efforts should say that we are,
as rule. better pleased with the work
of the girls. But If we come to the efter-
life of the pupil we would naturally turn
to the boy. He may nave been bad fell
low in school. He may have given us a
whole lot of trouble, and maybe we had
to use the rod on him now and then.
But mark the difference: No mat
ter what our experiences may have been
with the boy, no matter how often or
how severely we chastised him, in his
maturer years he always has warm
place in his heart for his old school
teacher. He remembers the pleasanter
side Of his school life, and the calmer and
sweeter relationship of pupil and teach
err. How is it with the girl? Well, it is
just the other way, and about as far the
other way as you can CO. If she has ever
had any sort of trouble with her
teacher, that is the particular thing she
remembers. She remembers the ugly,
disagreeable things Of her school days,
and if she is particularly mean, she will
never cease to hate her perceptor.
Now, why is this? Candidly, 1 cannot
tell you, unless you are generous enough
to accept a theory which has occurred to
me while musing over the rather inter-
estfng fact. l think the explanation ia
probably to be found in the difference
between the spheres in which they move.
Woman's life is cast along narrow lines.
Her sphere is not as broad as mans.
Naturally, she lives more in the past.
Mans life broadens when he leaves the
schoolroom. Other things crowd in upon
him. There are other more pressing
worries than the recollection of the rod
with which he was punished at school,
or the Partially for some other fellow,
or any of the other things that vexed
the child soul for the while. So in turn

RURAL PREJUDICE.
People e the Country Are Genevally
Susrtcious OF Those Who
Live In the City.

II have often wondered why it is that
the people Of rural sections have such 9
deep-rooted prejudice against the people
of the city," said an observant man. to
New Orleans Times-Democrat writer,
but when you come to think it over !
suppose it Is . natural sort of thing
Some few years ago had an opportu,
city to see great deal of this prejudice
while serving term in state legisla.
ture. 1t will crop out in all its pristine
glory In a legislative body. In bodies Of
this sort there is almost constant war.
fare between delegates from the larger
cities and the delegates from rural sec.
tons. On the face of things there is NO
good reason for this feeling, but it exists
just the same. and suppose it will con-
tinue to exist for some time to come.
There are great many things which
might be said in explanation of this feel
Ing. In the first place the man from the
country often believes the city chap has
all the best of the game to begin with.
Time was when the difference between
the men of the cities and the men Of the
country was greater than 1t is now. It
is not SO marked now as it was at one
time, but it may still be noticed. Natu.
rally the man from the country comes to
look upon the city fellow as one whose
lot is cast along the ways of velvet. He
lives In the glare Of new and rapid
things, gorgeous colors and all that, and
is supposed to be in better position to
get fuller enjoyment of the really good
things of life. The city looms largely as
offering one everlasting round of pleas
ure.
How far this is wrong the men Of the
cities know. 1t is wide Of the mark.
Nevertheless it is one Of the things
which the countryman considers when
he comes to deal with the city chap. He
feels, too, that the man from the city Is
trifie shrewd, If not absolutely tricky.
So he keeps an eye on him, and II you
don't believe this go to the legislature
once. You will find there that the man
from the country will always bristle up
when anything is proposed that he
doesn't quite understand. He is just a
bit inclined to sniff danger from afar.
OF course, you will find exceptions to the
rule. But no man who has had any
considerable amount of experience will
question the correctness of what l aay
with respect to the attitude of the coun-
tryman generally. 1t is curious thing.
If they knew more of the hardships and
disadvantages of the city they would
really pity the poor chap who lives in the
glare and gorgeous trappings of the city.
There is less of prejudice now than of
old, and we may hope at no distant time
to see the feeling minimized so that It
will be inconsequential."
