ELECTRIC SERVANTS.

From time immemorial, the servant

AooERLY AND coALPoRT CHINA

Two decidedly new kinds Of china
new, at least for Sioux City. are the

exact reproductions OF the china in use,
a hundred years ago. Flowered fes-;

The ware is much heavier than the

OF rare and expensive china have paid
homage for SO long. Also whittier thnn
most varieties, as a species OF bone is

However, the weight does not mean
that the price In insignificant, for this

GIRLS AND cHLLINe CARDS.

Much doubt seems to exist on the
correctness or the reverse, OF young
unmarried women having visiting cards
OF their own. A girl never has card
OF her own in the best society. To do
so argues one Of three things, either
that she has become an old maid, or
is in a business or profession, or has
adopted a quite undue independence
OF character. To define the g when
a single woman may have her own
card is a matter of some difficulty.

FEEDING r c. RN.

The scarcity of labor and the ten
dency OF those who work or farms to
demand all the traffic will ar" or
even more when 1t comes to lusking
corn has a bearing on other ways to
get the ears from the husk. Steer feed
ers have in many cases turned the cat
tie into the corn fields after getting
them used to the corn by cutting some
of ii and giving it to them on the pas
lures. This requires that the fields be
fenced TO keep in the hogs for the best
success, though 1t Is doubtful IL cattle
will leave more than the man who is
husking by the bushel, especially when
there are stockers to turn in when the
feed gets low. In wet seasons there
would be some loss, but not SO much as
those think who have not tried II.
Turning hogs into the corr is prac-
ticed by some and with much satisfac-
ton. Too much feeding with green
corn Is decried from every quarter, yet
we have seen q mixed lot of sows and
pigs turned into a field, part Of which
was sweet corn when just past the
roasting ear" stage and never saw a
bunch of pigs do better. This same
man has frequently turned hogs into
corn fields and has never had any
losses at that time. 1t may be a very
profitable use for a small field that is
we'll fenced to annually plant IL to an
carly NaEtety Oh coFn ana turn IN the
hogs when the time comes. Such q
field may have a lot OF pumpkins
planted with the corn and the feed
thus grown be secured very cheaply.
Fall pigs, OF the Gull sows could thus
be fatted with great profits and the
field would be kept fertile and the root
ing OF the hogs would keep the worms
destroyed 40 that many crops Of corn
could thus be raised year after year on
the same ground. We have been trying
to carry out some such plan in our
w hog growing and cannot see why
II would not be n good way.

Japanese insist on their women drinking
quantities OF water each day. II our
women would follow the example of theiE
Acknowledged sisters, the beauty doctors

fewer complaints of utter fatigue would be

without drinking at least a quart Of pure

ever to begin with the smaller quantity
or you may feel yourself water-logged and
depart from the good habit altogether.

that milestone, Character has much to
say on the subject and a great deal
also depends upon circumstances.
Nowadays even girls in a high posi-

These edges should be turned back
and in their turn b~uttonholed in place.
Another pretty fashion of decora-

The number of times Secretary
Straus reminded Honolulu people that
he did not make and could not repeal
the coastwise shipping law, was not
iceable. He probably knew that when
he got to San Francisco he would find
the headline which read like this
"Straus uses pull for British ship,
and an announcement that he had
sent a cablegram to District Attorney
Devlin requesting that he ask the
treasury department to remit the
$1,000 fine imposed for travel from
Honolulu on the foreign steamer Asia
Perhaps he foresaw the further news
paper comment that at is common
thing to have the fines RENTED by the
washington officials If The parties
have sufficient influence" 1t is bad
enough for Straus as an executive OF
ficer tc be held before the people as
breaking the law himself, without the
added discomfort of facing the charge
of aiding and abetting others.

THE NEW" LAND POLICY.

In going over the land deals which
tell the practical story of Governor
Frear's land policy, there is no indi-
cation of sudden departure from the
traditional lines of Hawaii.
1t is, early yet to draw an absolute
line on the situation, as no incident
has arisen inwhieh distinct issue Il
raised. In a general way, however
the first moves of the new Governor
indicate a determination to not give
fee simple title to public land unless
there is mighty good reason for it.
This is not picturesque policy ant
if some men had been appointed tt
the Office of Governor and had done
the same thing they might have beer
accused by individuals converted FOL

being immune, may consider himself
lucky.
If the letin has properly
eized up the theory of his action in
land matters, the Governor is headed
tight and is not likely to make glaring
errors which the future cannot rectify.
There is one feature which is en-
titled to the serious consideration OF
the Governor. May he find way by
which the bona fide land purchasing
