1t was no doubt with universal
feeling of intense qualification that the
art-lovlng community hailed the re-
turn of the Hawaiian born artist, D.
Howard Hitchcock, from a sojourn of
two years in the highest art circles of
New York City. That the founder of
the Kilohana Art League, and for
years the chief creator of its semi-an-
nual exhibitions, should have been
welcomed home is what might have
been expected, even if he brought back
only reinforced equipment of artistic
ideals and technique wherewith to turn
out new creations. But when Mr..
Hitchcock unpacked a splendid exhibit
tion of paintings, covering WIDE
range of subjects, as the product of his
exile, he conferred a magnificent sur
prise upon his old friends. While it is
such an exhibition as should make it
an endless day before the enthusiasm
of his welcome back to his native
islands is exhausted, it is also one
which itself should soon be exhausted
by distribution in the homes of resi-
dents who are in a position to become
liberal patrons of art. More especially
should our Hawaiian premier artist re-
ceive practical appreciation of his
work, since these latest paintings are
exclusively of Hawaiian subjects Mr..

c,-,o.,t,.. Aboat rtsh Scales.

The thin, silvery coating of fish
scales derives its luster from many
minute crystals Of lime, mixed with q
peculiar substance called "guanin.' u
This coating Of silver crystals is very
easily rubbed OF the scales, and in the
case Of a European species Of carp
known as the ''bleak'' the crystals are
so numerous that metallic pigment,
commercially known as "argentine," is
made from them. The large globular
glass beads, known as German" or
Roman" pearls, are coated on the in
side with this substance. In some spe-
cies Of fish with lusterless scales the
silvery lining is found on the inside OF
the body. A well known example OF
this is seen in the common smelt.

DIETARY STANDARDS.

What Observation Indicates to BE tho
Average Mans Daily Food Need.
Accepting the daily dietary stand
ards which are based upon observa-
tions as to what people are accustomed
to consume, it is plain that the average
man doing from light to moderate
muscular work must take each day
approximately 116 grams of proteid
matter Us grams Of nitrogen), with
sufficient fat and carbohydrate to yield
a total fuel value of $3.50 large Gallo
ries. The usual proportion Of carbohy-
drate (mostly starchy food Is about
500 grams to 5000 grams Of fat. III
other words, the average man needs,
according to the above hypothesis, ap-
proximately 12O grams Of proteid, 500
grams Of carbohydrate and 60 grams
of fat for his daily ration. In order to
obtain these amounts Of nutrients he
would require per day three-fourths OF
a pound of ordinary roast beef, one
pound Of boiled potato, one-half pound
of white bread and one-fourth Of a
pound Of butter. Naturally much
greater variety of food might be adopt
ed with the same nuHitive values as
the above, but these figures will suf-
fee to give some impression of the
quantities Of ordinary cooked food
stuffs required to yield the nitrogen
and the total fuel value called for by
the above standard dietary.
A more elaborate diet, one In large
measure free from meat and having es-
sentially the same content Of nitrogen
and with a total fuel value Of approx
mately 1900 calories, would be as fol-
lows: Fried hominy, six ounces; sirup,
three ounces; baked potato, eight
ounces; butter, one and one-half
ounces; baked spaghetti. ten. ounces;
mashed potato, ten ounces; boiled tur-
nip, six ounces; bread, two ounces; ap-
pie sauce, eight ounces; apple tapioca
pudding, twelve ounces; fried sweet po-
tato,, eight ounces; fried bacon, one
ounce; fruit JAM, four ounces; coffee,
one and one-half pints, and tea, three
fourths Of a pint. Such diet, owing
to its vegetable nature and lack of con-
centration, is naturally quite volumi-
nous. a greater concentration OF diet
is easily obtained by replacement Of
portion of the vegetable matter by
meat, and this the ordinary man, with
his highly developed palate, usually
prefers to do because Of the increased
flavor which his acquired taste now
calls for. Further, the resources at
the command Of the civilized man rem
der possible great variety in matters
Of diet, but whatever the character Of
the daily food or however great the
number and variety Of the ingredients
it will be found that the nitrogen con-
tent and fuel value Of the daily food Of
mankind will in general correspond In
large measure to the dietary standards
usually adopted throughout the civiliz-
ed world.-Russen 81. Chittenden In

This newspaper does not believe in op-
pressing the railroads in any shape or
form, but there are few things which
should be required Of the Southern Rail
way by Bamberg. The road should be
required to maintain decent sidewalks at
the street crossings of Railroad Avenue,
and something should be done as to the
great amount of switching at the Main
street crossing. 1t is to be hoped that the
location of the new freight depot will re-
lieve the matter of switching to a con.
siderable extent, but in the meantime
city council should require that the
various street crossings be put in proper
shape. This is an important matter, and
one which we trust council will take &C
tion on without delay.

 Standard Oil May Grab Control.
 From the table can be gained an idea of the sums invested, and the vast im- portance with which the fight is looked upon by the people of the United States.
 So prominent has James H. Hyde be- come in the financial world that quite frequently his name has been asso- ciated with the Rockefeller-H Hartman interests, and from rumors which em- anate from the inner offices of promi- nent fnanciers it is believed that con- trol of the Equitable is desired by the Standard Oil people. The manage ment of the insurance company, MT. Hyde and a number of his friends en- certain the fear that perhaps the con. trol may pass to the interest of MT. Rockefeller. because of the present controversy. and in the fight which is being made by both factions each party keeps a watchful eye on the interests of the great oil king and his colleagues. lest at some time a controlling interest in the Equitable may be snatched when | the factions are not on the alert. and either or both sides be deposed.

the war in which these two financial pillars are involved is of the greatest importance to lights in the insurance world. as well as to every insurance policy holder or person who is con- templating entering such a project
 The contention is this: Hyde. by his ownership of over 90 per cent. of the Equitable stock. can control the in- vestment of the money which the so- ciety in accepting policies. has to loan.

though this does not have any great bearing onNthe war between the two factions, 1t illustrates the methods of the party that rules the organization. According to the Wisconsin statutes, the surplus of the companies must be divided among the policy holders at certain intervals, stipulated in the laws. The case went to the supreme court. where the Equitable receives the best of the decision; but had the case gone against the company, it would have compelled division of over O,OOO.- 900 among the policy holders of the state. A plea is now pending before the supreme court for retrial, and in- surance people of the United States are breathlessly awaiting the outcome of the matter.

Hyde could easily have furnished a separate vehicle to each person, and not notice the loss in his income. The number of passengers who paid their way afforded MT. Hyde much delight.
 To the average American Hyde is better known for the magnificence of his private entertainments and do- ings in society than for his attain ments as business man. The event which stands out most prominently in his social career is the ball given at Sherry.s not long ago. which is said to have cost the insurance man over $1OO.- 900, an event which is reasonably with in his means.

Hyde are almost beyond the comprehension of the human mind. Hyde has made a threat against the Equitable company that if attempts are made to make the company mutual. and if they are in any measure successful. he will ex- ert his influence in such a direction that the policies held by the 600.000 holders of the company will be reis- sued to other organizations. notably the New York Life and Mutual. on an ar rangement which would make the ven- ture profitable to the concerns in volved. Should Hyde carry out this threat and it seems that he may. if the developments become of a serious nature. his action would break up this gigantic organization and end a fight which not only interests the policy holders of the company. but every in suranee man in the country.
