Interesting Notes.

A unique umbrella holder may be
made Of long, shallow box, by knock
ing off one end. The box should be
covered in two shades of denim or
grass mating, using nail heads for
decoration
A Southern Method of keeping
rooms cool is to place earthen Jars,
which have been covered with several
thlcknesses of flannel and saturated
with water, in opposite windows. Of
course the sun must not be shining
on the window The temperature will
become perceptibly cooler in a very
short time. Often by the side of these
jugs will be seen punches of spearmint
in crystal glasses. The Southerner
claims that the very odor of mint is
cooling. 1t certainly is refreshing and
agreeable on hot day.
Our summer cottage was thoroughly
screened against mosquitoes, yet the
house was thick with them. We dis
covered that they came down the
chimney, and that they entered the
house through the open fireplace. So
we put mosquito netting of wire over
the top OF the chimney, and had no
further trouble. Of course this netting
has to be taken off and cleaned every
few weeks to free it from the cinders,
and allow the chimney to draw proper
ly.
Soak green vegetables in salt water
before cooking.

Or caught onto the bottom of the kettle
cover the burnt portion at once with
fresh fat and heat. It will be absorbed
and the substance will peel off, leaving
the kettle uninjured The fat must be
strictly fresh as salt would cause it to
adhere. -Exchange

account of what he considers his most
interesting experiment in fruit culture.
He says:
The most surprising one, perhaps,
is one that has lately developed.
Several years ago, I commenced rails
ing seedlings from the little Beach
plum (Prunus maritima)
AFTER awhile I began crossing the
best of these seedlings with some Of
the large Japanese plums (Prunus tri-
fora). Year before last, from seed

Phil laughed trife TREMENDOUSLY, and

well, Dick, what is your verdict?"
| drew a deep breath and replied:
Il can't find my brother below
these" and I laid my hand softly on
her curls. "But-what I do find I
wouldn't change for anything in the
world. Phil, if ever I grow dissatisfied
with my first purchase and sell you,
my dear shall become billionairer'
Dinner is waiting, dear boy" she
replied, and the vivid carmine that my
words had called into her cheeks was
yet another sign that this was some
thing quite different from my brother
Phil!
During dinner I watched her, and
my wonder grew. She was so dainsy
and sweet, so charmingly feminine. SO
essentially womanly, and yet with it
all, the same loyal, honorable, boyish
Phil as of old.
My heart sank at the thought of the
weeks of close companionship before
us, and [ counted up with a sense of
loss the former chances of seeing her
which | had carelessly missed.
Life without this new, enhancing
Phil became gloomy thing indeed to
picture, and before that first evening
WIS over I had made up my mind that
it was a prospect that could not be en-
drred for moment.
When, candle in hand, she came to
me at the foot of the staircase to bid
ire. goodnight, I said:
"By- the-bye, Phil, I never gave you
that kiss I promised. You shan't BE
disappointed, dear; I'll take it now"
Our two candles were the only re-
naming lights left in the old hall
With deft movement Phil extinguish-
ed both, and before I could recover
from the surprise, merry voice reach
ed me from the gallery above:
''Dick, dear boy! First, you catch
your bird-and then-you kiss it! Good
night"
So it was no longer Phil, but I, who
needed Encouragement in kissing
I soon found out that Phil wa. a
very wild, shy bird to catch, and that I
should need all my skill and patience
before she was finger tame. At first
she tried to maintain the old brother
ly relationship between us, but finding
that I wanted something more she
grew scared, and would not come at
my CALL
Yet in. my heart of hearts I knew
that it was but the natural instinct of
maidenhood to fly from the hunter,
man; and I loved her the move for it.
And after a while she gave me the
old trusted friendship with subtle diff
ference in it that went to my head like
wine
"Phil," I said one morning, when I
had persuaded her to go for row with
me, shave you ever been in love?'
"How could I, Dickie!'' she replied
audacious1y, but carefully avoiding my
gaze by watching the hand she was
trailing in the water. "You taught me
to be brother, and an awfu1ly decent

AN APPRECIATION

The world Is divided into two classes,
those who are --, and those who are
not, the blank to be filled with that
word suggestive of the view point Of
the writer: for the intent Of this article
we shall insert the word artists" Yet
in behalf of the class "who are not, -
we may claim for many of them the
happy possession of an unsupported ar
tistic temperament and a Therefore pos
sibility of enjoyment of artistic works,
though unpossessed of technical knowl-
edge sufficient for competent criticism.
Frequent visiting of galleries and
long gazing upon familiar objects de-
picted on canvasses, celebrated or 9th
erwise, will produce an amount Of GER
titude in reason why we enjoy them.
1t may may be the representation of
localities famed in history or verse, or
a simple picture Of local scenery, which
will first catch the attention, and let
ing the eye long dwell pom such, the
artists faithful message is outborne
and the gazer begins to perceive beau
ties before undiscovered. Even those,
who from foolish following Of what
they deem a fashionable pleasure, visit
first views" or extended art exhibit
lions, must receive benefit, for every
beautiful thing is of God and His
meaning through it cannot fail in some
sense to reach the soul. Any single OF
combined effort to speak his message
Of beauty is help and upliftment to
| all who come within its atmosphere. In
behalf of both classes 1 would wish TIC
express appreciation and gratitude te
those who are" For the sea, the land
the flowers, the rivers, the lowly wood
land or the forest depths, the faces OF
humans, the night, the day, all have
their opponents on the walls of the
Paint and Clay club exhibit, and there
for many days have many come ano
gazed and gone away, each with diff
ferent message, and one can say the
message was in vain. Therefore, oui
thanks to those patient, truthful anc
beauty-loving souls, whose hands have
spread out for us pages of delight, or
which we may read each for himself
a word to inspire, or confirm, and tt
| elevate.

CASTLE ON HAWAII.
INTER EST1NG LECTURE AT HEN
DIRE HALL LAST NIGHT.

Hawaii Source OF Profit to United
States--EarIy History shrouded in
Undergraduates to United states
in 1s0S-Reception at Union League.
Hon. William R. Castle, former at
torney general Of the Hawaiian islands
gave a very interesting lecture on
Hendrie hall last night on Hawaii
Its History and Politics." There was
a good sized audience. The speaker
was introduced by Dean Henry Wade
Rogers of the law school.
After giving a pretty picture Of the
impression made upon the visitor upon
his first sight Of the island, Mr.. Castle
gave a comprehensive review Of the
activities of Honolulu. Honolulu Is as
thoroughly up-to-date as any city in
this country She contributed sub
stantially to the relief of San Francis
co in her late disaster
The speaker said that the annexation
Of Hawaii to the United States had
been most profitable Investment. Be
sides the acquisition Of public lands
buildings and other public property of
value of several millions of dollars,
there is in the treasury at Washington
in excess Of all expenses incurred on
| account of annexation from $1,000, 900
to $2,000,O00.
The early history Of Hawaii is shroud-
ed in mystery, but it is certain that it
was a very savage archipelago until
= - A
ming of the nineteenth century many of
the modern nations, including England
and France, made their entry into the
| island.
Foreigners gradually gained the up
| per hand and American influence gain
| ed gradually, but not without strenu-
Gus opposition on the part Of the ma
tives. Mr. Castle gave very full and
| clear account Of the troublous times
which seated David Kalakaiu upon the
throne. and which finally resulted in
| the annexation of the islands to the
United States in 1898.
| A reception was rendered to Mr..
| Castle at the Union League club after
the address. About seventy-five per
sons were present
The receiving committee consisted of
| President Clarence E. Thompson,
George B. Martin, Judge Richard H.
Tyner, DR.. c larence E. Skinner, Julius
| Twiss. H. f. Curtis, Dean Henry w.
Rogers and Attorney Alexander Cum
