HouscSccpin In JaDan

l never could regard housekeeping
seriously in Japan. where the walls
can be put aside by one hand, where
there is no particular furniture to wor-
~ one and where even the mating can
be laid and lifted without lacks or
nails. But the Japanese housekeepers
of my acquaintance rather resented my
light attitude, assuring me, quite after
the manner Of hOusekeepers all over
the world, that it is all very hard and
requires much work-oh. very much
work indeed. In order to Justify my
self to one housekeeper l drew a COM
parison of her own difficulties and
those of an American woman, but the
American picture seemed to her so ter
rble and she became so deeply sym
pathetic that l had to stop short to
save her gs.-Housekeeper.

An advantage of trap nest testing of
birds is that the 'drones" can be sold
off to the butcher and the feed bills
reduced by that much. 1t is fact that
4 third at least of the food we feed is
fed to "drones"-to no purpose hens
How it would bring up the average of
profit if those "drones" were all culled
ont and got rid of and none fed except
those that had proved themselves at
least fairly good layers! 1t is the
"drones," the no purpose hens. that
lower the average of income for food
fed They are fed at loss all the
time, and the good layers have to pay
for their own food and the food of
the "drones," too, before there is any
thing remaining for profit
Which are you feeding, 'drones" or
great layers? Trap nests will tell you,
just as the milk scales tell which are
the no purpose cows, says A. F. Hunt
er in American Poultry Advocate.

ton Plants.
Several varieties of the so called
resurrection plant have appeared
among the novelties offered by florists,
but the original IS the rose of Jericho.
Along the shores of the Dead sea. far
enough away to be out of reach of the
death dealing vapors and the salt
spray, grows this rose, n little plant
famed in many legendary story,
which, when ripened rolls up its sprays
and branches into Il curious little brown
ball
The desert winds snap off its dry
stem and whirl the seemingly dead
little bali away over sandy plains, like
Il featherweght. After it chances to
reach some damp place, in about ten
days, the moisture has wrought mira
Gle. for the once dead Is alive again,
green and growing.
The old time pilgrims, who brought
back this plant with them from the
Holy Land. told wonderful tales of its
power to bloom out on Christmas day
and gave it the name of resurrection
flower Another old legend names it
st. Mary's rose, because it is said that
when Joseph and Mary We're fleeing
from Egypt one of these flowers grew
from every spot where they halted to
rest.
The dry ball when unfolding drops
it's seed, and from these it may be cul-
tivated as an annual. To resurrect
these dry balls 1t is simply necessary
to keep them standing in glasses of wa
ter, immersed about halfway to the
top of their branches. The expansion
is merely mechanical, spongelike
process.
The botanical name of the rose of
Jericho is anastatica, from anastasis,
resurrection. There are other species
of resurrection plants, but they are not
SO attractive as their Dead sea relative.

Famous Resting Place of the Great
Dead of France.
In the center of the most populous
and hardest working part of Paris lies
Pere-la- Chase, the city of the dead.
All feteS of the faubourg beat against
the walls of this spot, which has its
own fete twice year. Within less than
a century this cemetery has become
the abode of at least 100000 dead. 1t
formerly formed part of the domains
Of the bishopric of Paris under the
name Champ Leveque. Under Louis
XIV. it was known at Mont Louis. At
last, May 21 1904, the official opening
Of the new metropolis took place.
The white mausoleums among the
green trees remind the visitor of an
oriental city, but it is estimated that in
twenty years there will not be space
enough for one lone dead man. A cal
culation has been made which would
point to the fact that the sum of $780,
100000 Is represented in these last
sleeping places of man. Even though
the French may not always be grateful
dren, there is a mighty attempt after
death to prove appreciation. Among
the famous men who are today lying
calm and beloved in perc- Ia Chaise are
Rossini, Bellin, Chopin. members of
the famous Carnot family, Moliere, La
Fontaine, Delacroix ard Balzac.
Here the tomb Of Heloise and Abe
lard is visited continually by large num-
bers of pilgrims. and there is never an
end to the sentiment around the Gothic
monument rising from the bright hued
geraniuni.s and roses. Notwithstanding
the iron railing, many a lover carries
from the hailowed spot petal blown
across by the obliging breeze. Except
for one section, where considerable
number of artists and authors, brothers
in beauty and inspiration, are grouped.
the tombs succeed each other without
mich order. There is single monu-
ment erected by the state to the sol
diers killed in the siege of Paris.

Do You Want to Know

There is growing sentiment in this
country in favor of MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the compo-
Sition of that which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add to
the well-earned reputation OF his medi-
cineS, Or. X. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. n. Y,
has "taken time by the forelock," as 1t

leading medicines, the "Golden Medical
Discovery" the popular liver invigorator,

regulator; also of his "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" for weak, over worked, broken

This bold and out-Spoken movement on
She part OF DR.. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed of, completely disarmed all
harpng critics who have heretofore I'M
justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been complied, from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
of the several ingredients which enter into
Or. Pierce's medicines. A copy of this
little book is mailed free to any one de-
string to learn more concerning the yalu-
able. native, medicinal plants which enter

Mr.. kotinsky interpreting
Mikes story apparently was Of
rather stale vintage, as Mr.. Castle
retreated from it with a gentle remark
to the effect that he had heard it
before
Acting Governor Atkinson returned
yesterday morning from a personal in
vestigation of the difficulty with the
Molokan colonfsts at Kappa. He comes
back with the impression that the
Molokans do not know themselves what
they want. So far they have not

The day before the Acting Governor
went there they had quit-said they
wanted a different arrangement.
However, as the Acting Governo:
puts it, it is a matter between the Mo-
lokans and Col Spalding, between the
Molokans and the Government and be-
tween the Government and Col. Spald-
ing. Therefore he worked out plan
and came back to Honolulu, to see
if it could be negotiated
This plan in the, rough is that the
Molokans shall form a settlement as
ISOLATION on the lands of Kapaa in |
Guiding pasture land, on the same old
basis of forty acres to each family !
With this Mr.. Atkinson wants to form
u new planting contract with Col. |
SpaIding, wherein the Molokans can |
get advances on their crop of cane |
and have it ground afterward.

when the Molokans came here that

A Problem for Board of
Queen Emma
Hall Visited.

An entirely novel proposition con-
fronted the Board of Health yester-
day, in face of which it moved warily.
1t was a question of appointing a Jap
anese as a Government physician. The
board referred the doctors application
members. Drs. Wayson and Judd, who
are to consult the Attorney General on
the legal point as to whether an alien
is eligible for the position.
Dr. x. Yanagihara of Kilauea, ka-
uai, sent in a written application for
the position of Government physician
for the District of Hanalei He gave
as a reference DIR. Putnam of Kilauea,
and President Pinkham said:
DIR. Yanagihara is spoken of very
highly by neighboring physicians, not
only as a man skilled professionally,
but a gentleman and respecter of
strict professional ethics. 1t is i'm
possible to secure a Caucasian physi-
clan for that district. as the salary of
$40 per month and patronage is insult
ficient to maintain one. I have, how
ever, serious doubts as to our right
under the law to appoint an alien to
this position
DR.. Wayson thought there were
Government physicians who We're not
American citizens. He didn't see why
the district should suffer from the fact
that the Government was not able to
provide sufficient money to engage a
white man. To suggestion that the
Attorney General should be consulted
on the legal point, the doctor objected
that it took too long to get an opinion
from the law department.
Mr.. Smith moved that the matter be
to the two medical members
as committee, which after some talk
carried.
