70 Clean Straw Hats.

I've discovered that peroxide of
hydrogen is one of the best things that
can be used for cleaning a straw hat
and restoring it to its original white
ness" Harry seeger informs me.
When use the peroxide for this pur
pose I dilute it in an equal amount of
water and then rub it gently over the
surface of the hat with a small
sponge. l do not allow the peroxide
solution to soak into the straw, but
wipe 1t off quickly with soft cloth.
after which 1 set it out to dry in the
air, and inside of ten or fifteen minutes
the hat is in good condition to adorn
my head again. The peroxide loosens
the dirt, which comes off readily on
the cloth when it is wiped. and also
gives the straw a good white bleach. -

Telling Trees By Electricity.

1T is reported in the German press"
says Forestry and Irrigation, that
successful experiments have been made
in various forests Of France in cutting
trees by means of electricity. A plati-
mum wire is heated white heat by an
electric current and used like a saw.
In this manner the tree is felled much
easier and quicker than in the old
way, no saw-dust is produced. and the
slight carbonization caused by the hot
wire acts as a preservative of the
wood. The new method is said to re-
quire only one-eighth of the time con-
sumed by the old saving process,

Pose aa Detectives.

"a surprisingly large number of peo-
pie seem to have a mania for posing as
United States Secret Service men, re-
marked Chief W1lkie of that service to-
day I'VE are running across instances
nearly every day of men who pass
Service Some of them are amateur
Hawkshaws who have been reading
the Sherlock Holmes stories and pose
around merely for the sake of making
an impression. Others are more vici-
Gus in their intentions and pass them
selves off as Secret Service men in
order to profit thereby. The law strict
ly prohibits this practice, and imposes
a fine and Imprisonment for conviction.
We are trying to break up the business
and are prosecuting cases wherever
they are found. Here is a case we have
on hand now. A man was arrested in
Indianapolis a couple of days ago for
masquerading as member of our SER
vice. He evidently is a shrewd fellow,
and was making use of the deception to
get a check for $3.50 cashed. The man
went into one of the Indianapolis banks
and presented a check for this sum of
the check of the paymaster of our SER
vice. The cashier required the fellow
TO secure an indorser, and when he
went out TO look for some one to
identify him the bank telegraphed to
the paynaster at st. Louis for informa-
ton. The reply was that there was no
such person in the Secret Service. The
man turned up with an Indianapolis
citizen named Rice, who indorsed the
check. Rice explained that he had met
the man while travelling from Montreal
to Troy and had no reason to suspect
that he was bogus government en-
pioyee. When the man was arrested
papers found On his person indicated
that he was a long-headed chap and
had prepared for trouble growing out
OF a possible question as to his identity.
He had in his possession two or three
letters addressed to me, which he had
Jut dictated to the hotel stenographer.
They ell referred to details of office
work and We're calculated to disarm the
suspicion of any one who might doubt
his claims. Another was addressed to
the President, but in this he rather
overreached himself In this letter he
made it appear that he had been hav-
/ ing correspondence with the President
In person about his transfer to the War

ONE UNIVERSAL FOE.

At a meeting of the Waikiki I'M
reported to have strongly advocated
sanatorium for consumptiyes. Prob
ably something like the hospital for
incurables in Honolulu established and
was in the speakers mind. No doubt
there are localities on Maui, as well as
all the other islands, which are ideal
in climate for such a purpose. It is
well to say, in presence of a plea such
as that of Mr.. Meyers, that consump-
fion is not comparatively speaking a
prevalent or an increasing disease in
these islands. Many subjects of it
here for relief in our balmy climate.
Too many people born here, it is also
true, have from preventible causes and
living in defiance of hygiene contracted
the disease. Yet for month after
month, the fact remains, at least nine
teen out of twenty of the Government
physicians in the different districts of
this Territory have written mo- as
answer to the question, rs tuberculo-
sis increasing in the district?'
Statistics have lately been published
showing that tuberculosis has very
greatly decreased on the mainland in
the past few decades. AS statistics are
better kept now than twenty or thirty
years ago, it is likely that fewer cases
of the disease would escape the record
now than formerly. Along with the
reported decrease of tuberculous is the
information that pneumonia, quicker
in death dealing than the other has
become more prevalent than before.
Meanwhile. all over the world a pow
erfuI campaign of the foremost medi-
cal science has been waged against
'tthe white plague" as tuberculosis is
called. This must inevitably produce
telling results for the better as time
goes on. A potential factor in the fight
is the steadily increasing knowledge of
the laws of health on the part of the
people in general The public schools
of this country are doing a great work
by Systematically teaching the young
in physiology, hygiene and temperance.

AN lRREPeEsslBLE CONFLICT.

Plant pests are no respecters OF
places. The warfare against them
everywhere must be eternal to be eff
fective. Probably temperate regions
have an advantage over lands of ever
lasting summer like Hawaii, in that
frost makes a break in the multiplied
ton of pests which may extend over
a cycle of years. An illustration of the
need of unceasing vigilance against the
animate foes of vegetation is found in
the following article from Gardening,
a Chicago periodicals.:
1.-The gypsy moth has shown it's utter
disregard for class or profession by IN
vading the Botanic garden of Harvard
University and attacking in force some
of the finest trees within the enclosure.
Four noble specimens of American
beech standing near one of the en-
frances are entirely denuded of their
foliage and the branches are as naked
as in December. The voracity of the
crawling pests is exhibited in the bare
branches of pines and spruces. the
tough needles being eaten off with the
same relish apparently as were the
beech leaves. Great masses of the
caterpillars may be seen here and
there on the trunks and limbs during
the day. the insects doing their feed
ing in night time. While complete
eradication is not to be expected, 1T
does seem that the presence of the pest
in such numbers in such place is in
excusable.
THE twin nuisance of the gypsy,
known as the brown-tail moth. is also
giving evidence of great activity. It's
feeding days are over and it is now in
the flying stage, the white-winged
moths flying in myriads about the cleo
trio lights at night, having the appear
ance of a snow storm and roosting in
poles. DIR. Marlatt, who has been in this
neighborhood for several days investi-
eating the situation on behalf of the
Agricultural Department, says that he
found it much more serious than ne

hts of this scientific service.
