Curious Chinese Prejudice.

A brood OF rats made their home

homeless cat reared a quartet of kit

fed the cat and her furry little ones
but they declined all advances and
remained wild as young lynxes. The
old cat speedily taught her family to
become expert rat catchers

his profession as a physician, but his
penchant was for business pursuits
After thirteen years practice of medi-
cine there he abandoned the profession
and migrated to Hawaii and settled in
Kohala. where he opened a store and
carried on business until 1884 when he
sold out to the late S. G. Wilder. He
became interested in sugar culture
when the Kohala Plantation was start
ed and owned quite an interest in that
concern. He established the Halawa
plantation and conducted it for num-
Der of years, but latterly had left the
management with 7. S. Kay as man
ager and attorney in fact and with his
son-in-law j. w. Atkins
Although he had no inclination to
practice medicine, he was always ready
to assist any sufferer needing the ser
vices of a physician.
He was married to an Australian la
dy and leaves a large family of chill
dren, grandchildren and great grand
children.
He was always interested in the poll
teal welfare of the islands and was
elected a representative in 1886 and
made noble in 1887. He also held the
position of Circuit Judge from 1852 to
1858 when Kamehameha V. assembled
the throne. In the House he was noted
for his independent stand and those

He EMO. remarkably good health

His word was his bond and during his
