THIS SIDE FOR THE ADDRESS"
 This side for the address only" as applied to postcards, is out of date. It became a thing of the past on the stroke of 12 last night, and hereafter when you read it on a pasteboard pay no attention to 1t, but go ahead and write any message you please on the tlefhand of the address side of the card and have no fear that you will fall in the clutches of the law. Neither you nor your correspondent will be called on to pay additional postage because you have openly defled the printed order, for with the beginning of this day an order Issued by Postmaster General Cortelyou four months ago went into effect, and it is now permissible to use half the face of postcard for a mes sage.
 The United States as rule is pretty well up with the times on almost everything connected with progress and civilization, but it has been just lit tie backward now and then on postal affairs. The great souvenir postal card craze struck Europe and spread all over the Old World before this country came to realization of its time saw ing money making and instructive fea- lures. After a while the craze ap- peared here, and apparently now as bad a case of souvenir postal -carditis exists as it is possible for one people to acquire. But the Post Office Depart ment did not keep up with the profess sion of Nations in the matter of facili- thorities of foreign countries soon saw fine chance to boost their postal re- venues by catering to the fad, and l it was not long before they granted to postal card users the privilege of writ ing message on one-half of the face of the cards. This was done mainly to en- able the manufacturers of the cards to print pictures all over one side of the cards and still give to the users a space for their messages. By agree nHent between the representatives of i the various foreign postal departments the left half of the face of the card was granted to the writers, as well as
 the entire back, and all that was re- served for the address was the right half of the face under the postage stamp. This was found to be enough, and this generosity on the part of the authorities doubtless. resulted in the printing of many thousands of cards that would not otherwise have been made and the consequent increase in the post9l revenue -Trihune Corres- pondence.

HOW TO CLEAN JEwELRY.
Treatment of Real and Imitation
 Stones at Home.

UTeaImenr or Real anu IInlLdtloH
 Stones at Home.
 Those who are the fortunate own ars of well filled jewel casket are us ually fully alive to the cares and re- responsibilities which such a possession entails, and periodical visits to the jewellers, where skilled and expert knowledge can be brought to bear up on it's preservation, are looked upon as a stern necessity. The average girl, however, with inexpensive simple chains and rings, brooches and brace lets, Is far less inclined to trouble to ahy particular degree about their care, the result being distinctly disastrous, especially where imitation gems or natural crystals and other stones are concerned.
 Gold ornaments, says the London Express, when plain or worked and unadorned with gems, should always be washed in warm soapsuds from time to time, excellent results being obtained If few drops of sal volatile are added to the hot water before making the father. In the case of chains composed of close links, which are most apt to harbor diret and dust, few remedies equal that of placing them to soak in bottle full of warm soapsuds mixed with a little prepared chalk. The chains should be left for few hours, after which the bottle must be well shaken, the father poured off, and the ornaments first rinsed in cold water and then dried as thoroughly as possible.
 Diamonds, sapphiers, rubies and emeralds are wonderfully restored if the yare washed periodically in a little sal volatile and water. the surface being afterward polished with clean chamois leather or a soft piece of silk. Precious stones in general are usually improved if they are put away in box wood sawdust instead of being en- closed in velvet lined cases.
 Turquoises must on no account be touched with water or kept in damp place, while oil or grease is equally fatal to pearls, wether real or imita- tion. Tn cases where real pearls have lost their lustre method of treating them is of laying them to soak for few days in strong brine and water, many old authorities recommending, however, the curious baking treatment the pearls being enclosed in lump of dough and then baked in slow oven.
 Jade ornaments soon lose their polish If they are neglected, and to remedy this few specifics equal the application of a paste of chalk and water.
 Coral can be successfully cleaned by placing the ornaments in saucepan ful of boiling water and adding few pieces of white coap and soda They should be boiled for a few moments, then rinced in tepid water and laid to dry on white paper.

Bear river reserve in Utah and Idaho, and the Welser and Henrys Lake re- serves, Idaho, it exceeded four thou sand dollars If there had been no re- striction on the settlers in securing this material, great waste would have re- suited, because the settlers would have paid no attention to ahe future good of the forest or it's value as protec- tive covering. Another distinct ad- vantage of the system is that settler, when he has secured his permit, is sure of being able to get the material from the locality assigned to him without interference from other people.
 Very little change in the handling of the free-use business is contempla- ted for the next year. The experience of the past year has shown, however, that methods can be systematized so as to give yet better service to the people and be more economical to the forest service.
 This branch of the work of the forest service gives good evidence of the fact that the aim in the administration of the forest reserves is to aid in the per- manent development of the country and place only such restrictions on the cutting of timber as are necessary for the maintenance of a permanent tim Der supply and the conservation of wa ter needed for irrigation, for cities, and for the generation of power
 The free-use privilege has been granted freely to ranchers who are building up homes, and enough timber will be reserved to supply their wants even if this will considerably reduce the amount of timber that can be sold.

 Nearly four years afterward, by a most remarkable coincidence, both ele- phant and mahout met again in Maulmaln, Burma, and no sooner was the big tusker out of sight of the saw mill and well into the forest than he ourled his trunk up backward, seiz- ed his old prosecutor by the neck, hurled him to the ground, and in an instant a mighty forefoot had crushed out his life.
 Each working elephant represents a value of $l,5OO, and years of experi- ence have shown that until quite re- gently this was the most profitable form of labor that could be employed in the great forests of Burma and Siam. Now, however, highly ingen- ious American, German, and British machinery chiefly portable railroads and steam hoists-are gradually talk ing the place of the giant workers, and in another decade the independent ele-
 phant laborer may be entirely extinct

FREE TIMBER FOR SETTLERS.
Government is Not stingy and Forest
 Reserves Benefit.

Government is Not Stingy and Forest
 Reserves Benefit.
 The government during the past year has furnished seventy-fye thousand dollars worth of timber to settlers and ranchers In or near the reserves, with out charge One of the regulations of the forest service provides that legiti- mate applicants may secure what tim Der they need by what is conveniently called the free use'' privilege. Eff teen thousand permittees in this way obtained timber to supply their wants.
 From these figures it may readily be seen that the settlers are securing very material assistance without cost from the forest reserves. At the same time, the free-use business has been so ham, t dled that the material taken out has improved the condition of the forest. Dead timber which would otherwise have rotted or helped to spread forest fires has been removed first of all. Where it was necessary for the settlers to have green wood the rangers, so far as possible, marked trees which were suppressed, diseased or from some oth- CT cause no longer in a condition for further growth. In this way the ranchers secured material which they desired, and at the same time the for est was left stocked with the thriftiest trees, whose chance to develop will be unhindered.
 The greatest amount of free use was on those reserves which lie in the semi arid parts of the west, where there is east timber. On number of reserves the value of the material for which permits wcre issued exceeded th~ee thousand dollars, and on the Wenaha 'eserve in Washington and Oregon, the

TRICKS OF THE STEEL TRADE.
How Flaws That May Cause Disasters
 Are Concealed.

How Flaws That May Cause Disasters
 Are Concealed.
 It might very naturally have been thought that if there was one trade which could be said to be free from trickery and faking it was that of steel manufacture says Tit-Bits. The mere fact that steel fs synonymous with strength would seem to bear out this view. And yet methods are sometimes adopted in the making of steel which once again illustrate the saying that there are tricks in every trade.
 At the same time, it must be ad- mitted that some of these tricks, when carried out, do not necessarily mean a lessening in the soundness and quality of the material For instance, it some times happens that in casting a piece Of steel what is known as a "blowhole' occurs. Often this is not noticed un- til the steel has been cut and trimmed

COACH HORSES JOIN IN FOX
 CHASE.

They had some spirited horses in the old coaching days. Just a hundred years ago remarkable proof OF this was given, and fortunately recorded for the astonishment of inter motoring generations, in the case of the Liver pool mail coach. Horses were changed at Monks Heath, between Congleton, in Chessier and Newcastle under Lyme.
 On this particular occasion pack of fox-hounds was heard in full cry just as the horses from congleton were freed from the coach, and they started off with the harness on their backs and followed the run to the finish. In of them, a blood mare, stuck close to the whipper in anu took every jump after him through the two hours. And in the evning they took the return coach to Congleton as merrily as if they had been i'll the stable all the time From the London Tribune.

JAMES MAkEE
OUT Of DANCER
lWalani Brings Report That She
Got Free Saturday
at Noon.

The steamer James Makee, marooned
in a pool of water inside the reef at
the entrance to Kamalo harbor on the
leeward side of the Island of Molokai,
for several weeks. is free, uninjured,
and out of danger.
Such is the report brought by Pur-
ser Kellett of the steamer Iwalani
which arrived early yesterday morn
cording to the report brought by the
Iwalani the Makee got out of her
dangerous position at noon on Satur-
day It is presumed that the same
conditions that enabled her to get into
the dangerous position where she was,
enabled her to get out of it.
Captain F. C. Miller, manager of the
Miller Salvage Company, which owns
the Makee, said that the first officer
of the Makee had told him that in going
into Kamalo harbor at high tide and a
strong northeast wind, she had touch
ed on the reef at the left of the
channel and then had been carried
rlght over the reef into a sort of
''puka," or pool, in the reef, where
there was plenty of water at all stages
of the tide and that she would prob
ably be able to take advantage of
another high tide to- get out, provided
the wind did not shift to the south
west. From this Captain Miller con-
cludes that the high tide came on Sat
urday, and either under her own steam
or by kedge anchors and warping her.

water again. However, he had not

BIG BLAZE THIS MORNING
IN HEART OF THE CITY

surance and trust Departments on
Bethel street, a few feet distant from
the rear of the burning structure, would
have been in great peril from their ex-
posed back windows had it not been
for the iron walls that confined the
flames and heat until the water came
in deluges from the hose. Scotty
Meston's cafe, at the corner Of Mer-
chant and Nuuanu avenue, was safe
enough with its spacious back yard
and an alleyway between 1t and the
fire. Toward Nuuanu avenue the solid
brick wall OF the building occupied by
L4ansfng's liquor store was protection
against the flames in that direction.
The fire was soon brought under con-
troll but took considerable time to put
out completely owing to the nature Of

question with regard to insurance on

REPORTED WHITLEY
WILL De RECALLED

Judge WiIfey of the United States
District Court for Shanghai is to be
recalled by Secretary Root, according
TO, a Manila paper received in the
America Maru's mail.
It is supposed also that he will be
found other employment by the gov
ernment, whose esteem he appears to
have retained despite the obvious loss
OF his usefulness at Shanghai.
AS previously reported in the Adver-
tiser, Judge Wilfey may be expected to
pass through Honolulu in an early
steamer on his way home. This infor-
ma ton preceded the report in the Ma
Mia papel by several weeks and was
on the authority of various people COM
ing direct from Shanghai. 1t was rep
resented by some of these, however,
that Judge Whitley was endeavoring to
keep his intention of travelling a secret.

The annual memorial services OF
Honolulu Lodge No. GIG, Benevolent,

yesterday afternoon at the Hawaiian
Opera House. The program was a
most excellent one. Mrs. Mackall, Mr..
Chris F. Jenkins and the Honolulu

phony Orchestra under the direction of
r. Rudland Bode rendered three ex-
quisite selections superbly. These
were the stately, but seemingly sim

phonic "Venore,' of Raft; the andante
con moto movement from Beethoven's s
Fifth symphony; and HandeTs Largo.
Mrs. A. 3. IgalIs, who has just re-
turned from year spent under the
instruction of celebrated masters,
played the violin in the orchestra
The Largo was on the program for
these services last year, the last num-
Der on the program, but it's rendition

rupt the services by going out just as
the orchestra began the Largo. For
tunately they were not able TO create
sufficient disorder to put an end to
the program, and the part of the
audience that remained had the pleas

The first vocal number on the pro-

ENGINEERS ARE
GOING SLOWLY
Second Meeting May Be Held
by the Association
Tonight.

While the impression in all circles is
very strong 10 the effect that the
Inter-Island company will have no
| further trouble with the marine en-
gineers, neither side cares to make a
statement. When asked for informa-
ton yesterday, Vice President Mclean
of the Inter-Is!and Steam Navigation
Company stated that while he had
understood that meeting had been
held by the engineers, they had not
approached him with any proposition
as yet. He said he hoped that all
trouble would be avoided but that
he was in the dark as to the develop
ments of the case.
No matter what action has been
taken, it appears to be certain thaS
there is a growing sentiment among
the engineers that they have been
little hasty in bringing the matter to
head, as has been done, and for the
present it is believed that amicable re-
lations will be restored. Further cor
gineers Benevolent Association and the
steamship company will be held before
other engineers leave their positions.
The steamers due to leave here on
Tuesday will get away on their reg
ular schedule, according to the best Of
authority, as the designations which
have already been made are not nu-
merous enough to do more than Grip
pie the service, and the men who have
resigned will in all likelihood be back
at work very soon.
A second special meeting will be
held either this afternoon or tonight,
at which practically all the engineers
will be present, and it is expected that
definite action in regard to the matter
will be taken at that time.
