An Ancient Recipe.

An ancient recipe for making sweet
perfume for the ladies runs as follows:
of each half an ounce, laudanum one
ounce, musk two grains, and put them
together i'll fair brass mortar, which
you must first warm so hot in the fire
that with the heat thereof and beating
with a little pestle it may work like
wax, which, being thoroughly wrought,
you may make it in little cakes or balls
and so lay it up.-Iome Notes.

THuNDERs OF OLD LONDON
The Most Famous Storm of the Last
Century Was In 1916.


The most notable thunderstorms on
record in London have generally oc-
CURED in the month of August That
Which made the greatest impression on
contemporary observers during the
nineteenth century happened on the
LIST of the month as long ago as the
year 1916, and remarkable accounts of
its ravages may be found in the Jour-
nails of the day. A thunderstorm is not
a good subject for a picture, but there
appeared in one of the Illustrated pa
pers a view of London during the
storm = from Blackheath," which,
whether work of pure Imagination or
actually drawn from nature, was eX-
ceedingly realistic and impressive. The
special feature of the storm was the
hail with which it was accompanied,
though the thermometer stood at %
degrees in the shade. The panes of
glass which were broken by the icy
shower were to be counted by hun
dreds of millions, and so great was the
damage inflicted upon the florists and
nurSerymen that a month or two after
ward q charity tete was held at the
Old Surrey geological gardens for their
relief. 1t is impossible, we are told. to
imagine the aspect which the windows
in London streets presented S'efOre the
GLACIERS, whose services were for q
long time at premium, had repaired
the destruction. 1t is a fact, indeed,
anomalous though it appears, that his
toric hailstorms have usually conceded
with periods of great heat, and, what
ever may be the precise relations of
heat and electricity, a heavy fall of
hail is seldom noted except as the adj
junct of a thunderstorm = London

Not a Barber ShOp.

A Connecticut clergyman, says a
writer in Lippincotts, while visiting
friends once tucked his napkin into his
collar to protect his clothing from the
juice of the grape fruit at breakfast.
He laughed as he did it and said it re-
minded him of man he once knew
who rushed into restaurant and, seat
ing himself at q table, proceeded to
tuck his napkin under his chin. He
then called a waiter and said, Can
get luncheon hereT'
Eyes" responded the waiter in dig
nified manner, but not a shampoo"

AN UNLUckY SHIP.
She Achieved the Grandest Exploit
In Naval History.


The Bonhomme Richard was an I'M
lucky ship. Paul Jones himself OH
taking command of her at Lorient,
France. wrote most doleful letter
about her to one of his aristocratic
patronesseS in Paris. She was "a
wornout old Indiaman," and "her fore
castle is a babel" Fourteen diff
ferent languages are spoken in my
forecastle," said Jones, dismayed at
the appearance of his motley crew.
Two days out at sea the Bonhomme
Richard was fOuled by her cOnsOrt, the
foretopmaSt carried away. Jones then
put back to Lorient, perfectly con-
WINGED of the unluckiness of his ship.
But through that accident he found
ia American Seamen who had just
been released from English prisons
by exchange. Among them was Rich
ard Dale, whom Jones at once appoint
ed first lieutenant These all volun-
teered into the Richard, Jones prompt
~ discharging enough of his polyglots
to make way for them. Prior to that
he had only about forty Americans.
This addition made LA fighting Yam
kee seamcn, and they were the men
who made the Scraps sick few
weeks later off the east coast of Eng
land.
Thus it happened that the grandest
exploit in naval history was achieved
by an unlucly ship, and she obtained
the means Of achieving it through a
distressing accident.

The LIBERTY CAP.
It's Significance Dates Away Back to
Early Creek Times.

\
From very early times one of the dis
tinguishing marks Of slave, both in
Greece and oriental countries general
~, was the lack of any covering for
the head. Accordingly the cap came to
be considered the, insignia of liberty,
and when slaves were given their free
dom they were presented with q cap as
IN emblem of it. In Sparta the helots
wore a cap Of dOgskin. and this was
reckOned a badge of servitude, but
upon gaining their freedom this was
replaced by cap of a different ma
eral, of another shape and ornament
ed with flowers. \ similar custom
was observed in Rome, where the pres
entation of the pileus. or cap. was al
ways a part of the ceremony of manu-
hitting Il slave; hence arose the prov
erb, Serves al pileum vocare." Also
on medals the cap is the symbol of lib
erty and is usually represented as be-
ing held in the right hand by the point.
When a cap was exposed to the peO-
pies view ON the top Of spear, as in
the case of the conspiracy against Gaze
Sar, it was intended as public invi-
tatiOn to them to embrace the liberty
that was offered them. The Goddess
Of Liberty on Mount Aventime was
represented as holding a cap in her
hand as q symbol of freedom. The
JacObins wore a red cap during the
IN,
blue cap with Il white border is used
as a symbol of liberty. The custom
which prevails among university stu
dents of wearing a cap is said to have
had its origin in a wish to signify that
The wearers had acquired full liberty
and were no longer subject to the rod
Of their superiOrS.

TIMBER PRESERVATION.
The Most Perfect Method Is Also the
Most Expensive.

The Most Perfect Method Is Also the
Most Expensive.
Telephone poles nearly always decay
at or just below the ground line The
upper portion Of the pole, permanently
in the air, rapidly drying after rain, is
practically always dry and is rarely
found decayed. The butt of the pole,
deeply buried in the ground, is in a
permanently damp condition, but OXy-
gen being excluded it is seldom badly
affected. Close to the ground line the
soil retains the moisture and keeps the
wood constantly damp where it is eX-
posed to the air and to the heat of the
sun, which is just what its little vege-
table enemies like. but if the albumen
in the wood can be rendered unfit for
food the wood tissues offer practically
no support to fungi. Timber preserva-
ton amounts, then. TO poisoning the
food supply of the destructive agencies.
Preservation of timber is attempted
in three ways-by seasoning, either
natural or artificial: by outward me-
chanical means, such as charming in fire
or the applications of antiseptics on the
surface of the stick, and by impreg-
mating the wood with antiseptics. OF
these the last is by far the most i'm
pOrtant The most perfect method
which is also the most expensive-is
the injection of dead oil of coal tar in
to the whole fiber of the pole.-Hart-
ford Times.

RESTAURANTS.
The First of Them Was Established
In Paris In 1865.

In Paris In 1865.
For a long time inns and eating
houses in France were only intended
for the benefit of travelling people, for
the people took their meals at home
and restaurants We're unknown. The
first enterprise of the kind was found
ed in Paris in 1863. 4 citizen by the
name of BOulanger opened in the Rue
les POulies an eating house where
ed. y chrOnicler relates tbat meals
we're served there on small. round
marble tables and everything was scru-
pulOusly clean.
Over the entry to this first eating
house the proprietor had hung a sign,
upon which were the Latin words, We
mite al me Omnes quae stOmachO labO-
rats, ct ego restaurabO vos'' Come
unto me all We whose stOmachs need
attention, and l will restore them).
This is parody on the well known
Biblical quotation, "COme unto me all
We who labor and are heavy laden, and
will give you rest" only in place Of
labor and heavy laden he said, whose
stOmachs need attention" The word
''restaurabo,' from the Latin ''restau-
rare GeStOre or refreshl, was the
main characteristic of the new estab-
lishment and gave it it's name. BOu-

his enterprise proved eminently sue

Six Hundred Years without Doctor

According to Pliny, Rome fiourished
for GOO years without Il doctor. 1t is
maintained by some, however, that
when making this statement Pliny was
not aware that certain Greek physi-
clans resided in Rome at least during
part of the period named. But there
is certainly no question that in the
early days Of its history physicians
were very scarce in Rome and doubt
less because there was little occasion
for their services With the advance
of civilization maladies have multi
piled, and with the increase of disease
there has been prOportionate increase

CARTER WILL
NOT RESIGN
Talk of Taking a Trip
to New Zealand
Soon.

Governor Carter will not resign. He
| will very probably go for long trip
as soon as he has regained sufficient
strength to make it safe for him to
travel. Secretary Atkinson will climb
up ION the lid on Friday, and the
government of the Territory will be
handed over to him formally. Then
the Governor will have leisure to con-
template his own plans, and will doubt
less announce them in his own good
time
1t is thought by friends of the Gov
ernor that these will include a long
vacation, and perhaps a trip to New
Zealand and the Australian colonies.
At all events. the Governors friends
do not look with favor on a trip to
the mainland, because there he would
not be out of touch with Hawaiian
affairs, and certainly would be apt to
be bothered by reporters and pOliti-
clans. For like reasons a trip to China
and the Philippines is not favored If
the Governor went to Manila he would
inevitably become more or less taken
up with public matters. What he wants
is complete rest, and down in the colo
nies they do not care a rap about
America and American officials-ex-
cepting in a perfectly polite, colonial
way.
AS to resignation, even when Jack
comes of age, while Governor Carter
may not find his job altogether to his
liking in some of its aspects, he has
planned out certain work to be done,
and it is known to be cherished pur-
pose of his to complete this before
yielding the helm to some other hand
The immigration business is the thing
the Governor has set his heart upon
carrying to a successful issue. He
wants to see this Territory started on
the road to true AmericaniSm on his
own account and to keep faith with
President Roosevelt. Also, and above
all, he wants to see the Territory
Anericanized for it's own sake and the
sake of its people. This has been a
hard fight, and promises to be a long
one. Governor Carter does not purpose |
to abandon it before it is won. That |
is must be won in the end goes with |
out saying. There is no future for Ha- |
Waii to be considered but an Americana
future
And so the Governor is not going |
to resign and recommend Secretary
Atkinson for appointment in his place. |
The two will work together for COM
mon purposes, as they have heretofore.
And perhaps. although he is sick. the
Governor will have a voice in naming
the man who is to take the Azores
trip.
Mrs. Carter was reported much bet
ter yesterday. and the two children
have recovered from rhair. attack of |
grip.
