A FAMILY OF
HARNESS MAKERS

The Hamilton (Canada) Herald has
the following interesting paragraph
about the father of the Philip brothers,
Fred and Morley, who are in the har-
making business in Honolulu:
Were you aware of the fact that a
resident of this city is the Oldest work
ing saddler in Ontario? Such is the
case. In the old directory quoted a few
weeks ago, under the heading of Sad
dlers and Harnessmakers," the name of
James Philip, York street, caught the
eye. When up York street the other
day. and down Market street the next
day, the name of Philip was noticed
on the window facing each street. A
note being made of two entrances, a
call took place. At a bench, cutting
up leather into various shapes, stood
James Philip. After eXplainin that
neither harness nor robe was required
but about a quarter OF an hour chat,
he kindly handed out the information
Previous to coming to Hamilton he had
worked in Gait. Yes. he was an all
round saddler. No machines or fac
tories when he came here.

Some Honolulu People Have Learned
How to Get Rid of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kidney ache.

be in vigorous health.
Doan' Backache Kidney Pills make
strong, healthy kidneys.
S. Hanoland; of this city, is a Gus

been afflicted with an aching back for
some time, I procured supply OF

PLAN TO EXCHANGE BABIES.
Clearing House by Which Diherent
Nationa1ities Are Traded.


One of the curious things run across
In Europe is the scheme of French
man named Michael Breal, preached as
long ago as 1886, and which is being
again taken up.
1t consists of a wholesale exchange,
a swapping of children from one IAN
lily to another.
Here is q Partisan father in modest
estate. with q son. This man has an
ambition that his child shall have
thorough knowledge of German. The
proper thing would be to place the
child in some German family for
while. But the difficulty for the father
is to discover just the right sort Of
faraily-one who would receive the
child. and. above all, one who had a
child to swap. The Partisan father
would be spending no extra money III
housing the German child and teach
ing it French, while his own was eat
ing at a German table. Meanwhile
two nations were understanding each
other better. 1t was a splendid scheme
if only it could be carried out.
What was needed was a baby bro

children and to engineer the swap. I
