A SPICY SERMON

Rev. Pulliam delivered a very
pointed sermon at the M. E. Church
sunday night.
Temperance was the theme and

The number ranged from 100 to 500.
This, the minister thought showed
an alarming amount of sickness in
our ordinarily healthy town.
He called upon his church people
to denounce this sinful trafick and
scored our county attorney for not
doing his duty and incidently gave
the city dads swipe.
The preacher is quite right. The
law is being violated every day by
some of our drug stores and such
violations should not be tolerat, d
in a law abiding community.

BURBANK ON
HAWAIIAN FRUITS
World Famous Specialist Says
Many Improvements Are
Possible.

Luther Burbank, the wizard of San
ia Rosa. California, the most skliIui
experimenter in the field of the forma-
ton of new forms of plant life by the
process of crossing and selection, has
written 10 H. p Wood, secretary of the
Promotion Committee, relative TO the
Improvement of the fruits of Hawaii
MIR. Burbank expresses his regret that
he is unable TO visit the islands, trip
which he has long contemplated with
pleasure but which the nature OF his
work will not permit of a months alb
sence from his experiments, meaning
the loss of several years time in arriv-
ing at results. Speaking of the posi-
bility of improving the Hawaiian fruits
in the same way as he has done the
fruits of California, he writes:
There is not the least possible cues
ton but what the papaya could be I'M
proved so that it would have the flavor
of the best. I have always been inter-
ested in the mountain apple which you
have and the alligator pear, and the
mango. All these, as well as the ba-
mana and the cocoanut, can be improv-
ed without any question to almost any
extent if the matter is properly taken
up
Aside from the interest which his
authoritative opinion will have for fruit
growers and others here. the fact that
Mr.. Burbank has written personal
letter of this kind at all shows the in
terest he feels in Hawaii. He is one of
the busiest men in the world, with such
an extensive mail that even with the
force OF stenographers available, his
important letters are at times three
and even six months behind, while to
the bulk of the letters of inquiry re-
ceived by him-and his mail boils and
seethes with Inquiries circular only
is sent in reply.
1t has even been found necessary to
prohibit visitors from the grounds
where Mr.. Burbank conducts his ex-
periments. This was done two years
ago. the previous year having seen over
six thousand visitors on his grounds,
to worry him to death as
Snowman, besides interfering with his
important work and destroying valu-
able property.
Every mail brings an application or
two for positions in the gardens and
laboratories of the wizard, these being
so many that they are registered in
order as they are received and the ap-
plicant mailed a printed slip in reply.
At the beginning of the present year
his list contained 1862 names.

CONVENT BIDS
ARE TOO HIGH

Right Rev. Libert. Bishop of Zeugma
says that all the bids are now in for
the new convent they had contemplated
building at Kaimuki, but they are all
too high to be even considered He
would make no further statement. hut
said the matter would have to rest
at that until he could give it more
thought and attention. The lowest bid
was $4,000 and the highest $4,000. OF
course. there would have to be changes
in their plans, if those prices remained

HAWAIIAN TEETH IN NEW YORK

The teeth of the skeletons of NAM
mails last much longer than the rest OF
the bones. A kamaaina in relating
local events told the Paradise that two
New York dentists came to Honolulu
in 1867 and prospected about the base
of Nuuanu Pail for teeth. 1t was there
that thousand or more Of Oahu's war;
riors in 1895 met their death before the
conquering army of Kamehameha I.
The enterprising surgeons found enough
sound and perfect grinders among the
remains of the savages to fill trunk.
Then they went to Waialae and exca-
waited a burying ground, adding more
store to their stock of discoveries. AS
these tourists came for business. not
for pleasure, they soon sailed for the
Coast. When they reached New York
they were enabled to furnish their cli-
entele with a quality of teeth that was
not as artificial as supposed.-Paradise
