At the meeting OF the Board of

the President the matter of sending
Dr.. Rice's patients TO Molokai. and
that is the end Of the experiment made
at Hilo, and approved by the last Leg

to carry out Rice's scheme.

minated in a special appropriation for

One Of the patients died. and il is
said that the others had shown no in

Of the experiment. More
than that. DR.. Rice had gone away and
the appropriation made by the last

pertinent was about exhausted. The

in the motion that the matter be left

The Fiddle. DrilI.

The fiddle drill" 10 one Of the oldest
stOnecutting tools in existence. 1t 10
said to antedate Greek sculpture and
is in use today In about the same form
as 1t was 1000 years ago. AS Its name
implies, It's action resembles fiddle.
The drill is Of two pieces. In one hand
a carver holds the drill stock, which Is
like a carpenters brace, except that It
is straight instead Of having crank.
In the other hand he holds the bow"
which is strung with brass wire and
which is given a turn around the drill
stock. To use the drill the carver
places the drill stock against his breast
holding 1t with his left hand, and with
his right he draws the bow back and
forth, fiddle fashion. This imparts
rotary motion to the drill stock, and
the drill is ground to cut In either way
1t turns. The fiddle drill Is used in the
finest work, In crevices where the
sculptor could not reach with his chisel
and hammer without endangering the
carving.

said "And If a man or woman hasn't

one no doctor can give 1t to him or

The best means to cure 1t lies in the
hands of the woman herself. If she
will just call little common sense to
her aid, resolve not to borrow trouble,
to be cheerful and think upon the best
side of things, she will live longer and

an ingredient in the manufacture of
chocolate prior to the discovery of
America by the Spaniards and that 1t
was brought to Europe as a perfume

years before the arrival Of tobacco on

rived from the Spanish vaina, a pod or
capsule. Dampier described 1t as a
little pod full of small black seeds and
like the stem of tobacco leaf, so much
so that his men when they found the
dried pods at first threw them away,
wondering why the Spaniards should
lay up tobacco stems" - Chambers

absurd that man whose name was known

statesman, sailor and scientist OF his time,
could be kept in durance to suit the pleasure
of hostile power and a cowardly king. But

found that he boys parents lived up in the
