A ROYAL Humorist.

Poorly educated as George III.
was, he was capable to a surprising
degree of uttering at times shrewd
and humorous remarks. In the
Life of George ILL.," by Lewis
Melville, under the title of Farmer
George" there will be found not a
few of the royal sayings. When
Chief Lord Baron Macdonald, a
great snuff taker, and Baron Ora
ham, an inveterate talker, were sit
ting in the Westminster court, 'The
court of the exchequer," remarked
the king, "has a snuffbox at one end
and a chatterbox at the other"
George sometimes endeavored to
find amusement in poking about
Windsor, asking questions Of all he
met in his rambles. "Well, my lad,
what do you want?" he asked sta
BILE boy. 'What do they pay your"

ster grumbled, ''but I have nothing
but victuals and clothes" "Be con-

ically. Il have no more."-West-

HoureIasses For PuIpits.

The twenty minute sermon is a

proved by the number of pulpit

following entry, dated 1864, occurs {:

by the pulpit, where the preacher

LEARN WHAT TO EAT.
Study Your Needs and Select Your
Food With Discretion.

In our ignorance of what the va
rious tissues of the body require fol
doing their work we crowd the sys-
TEN with great mass of unneces-
sary food, only an infnitesimal part
of which can possibly be of use in
strengthening us for our occupa-
ton.
There are about a dozen different
kinds of tissue cells in the body,
each one requiring a special food,
and those which are especially ac-
tive in our line of work require a
much larger amount of food partic-
ularly adapted to their use than the
other tissues, which are almost
wholly inactive in our vocation.
Thousands of men are forcing
their brains to do work by stimu-
lants which only exhaust and do
not nourish, and then they wonder
that they have nervous breakdown
or paresis. Other thousands, in
their ignorance Of scientific feeding,
force their brains to do work every
bit Of which is abnormal, because
they do not have sufficient nourish-
ment.
An active brain worker requires a
great deal Of albuminous foods,
foods which contain phosphorus
like fish, oysters and other kinds of
shellfsh and eggs. Meat is distinct
ly muscle food. It is suitable only
for those who do physical work.
The locomotive engineer studies
fuels. He does not throw all sorts
of combustible things into his fire
box just because they are combusti-
bic. He finds out the best kind of
fuel for his engine, that which will
give him the greatest possible
amount of combustion with the
least waste. He makes profession
of his business and studies the re-
quirements of his engine. But most
people seem to think that they can
run the most complicated machinery
in the world-the great human en-
gine-without any special study.
The result is that we use all sorts
of fuel without reference to the
particular work we are doing. -

County owned only eighteen mules,
and he himself two, Sommerlcld two,
and kaiue one, making all together
twenty-three animals, yet the horse
shoeing bill for the month of October
called for thirty-two animals, or $64.
Mr.. SOmmerfeld explained this by
stating. that some of the mules were
Ie-shod after three or four days, but
Mr. Carry, the farrier, says he never
charged for re-shoeipg, so the shoe
ing of the extra animals still re-
mains a fizzle. and requires the SER

Orient so long sought There Japan
tages of its successful war. There
Great Britain is on guard and Amer
lea stands as the exponent and de-
fender Of the open door"
Just what the real situation is, or
Just what the future has in store, is
not given to the ordinary citizen to
l'now. nor Is It within the power of
gny person to predict with conf
dence. II is reasonable to suppose,
however. that the issues involved in
the San Francisco riots and the re-
slriction of japanese emigration are
insignificant when compared with
the real problems of the Orient.
The absolute certainty is that the
men of our feet will gain training
of inestimable value W the efficiency
e the splendid ships which give our
country second place in point of ton
mage among the nayies of the world.
And as preparedness has proved to
be the best agent for peace, Hawaii
may feel comfortable and Contentcd
in the assurance that our country is
to have the greatest peace agent in
these waters that the world has ever
known.
That's sufficient.
II anything more were needed to
inspire confidence, it is found in the
fact that the tons Of metal and
death-dealing engineers are under the
direction of the best aggregation OF
fighting brain that we know anything

WAlLUKU, Maui, Dec. 10. -- The
Board of Supervisors of Maui County
met at the County building last We'd
uesday and adjourned again this aft
ernOon until next Monday, when
they will meet to discuss the budget
for 1908 as provided by law. County
Engineer Howell filed his report for
the month, which included various
suggestions and recommendation for
the betterment OF the County.
The report which had stirred up so
much discussion during the past few
days has been the report of Superin-
tcndent of Roads John IL. Wilson. 1t
was of such Importance that the
liOard of Supervisors went into exec
utive session with the oXeau.i.c ,.aI-
mittee of the Republican CGL.-y
Committee for Over TO hours d!
Thursday morning. The topic O..
their discussion has not yet leaked
cut, but busybodies at street corners
believe that the meeting of the two
executive committees was upon the
recommendation of Mr.. Wilson that
David Morton of Kula and +. Som
lncriield of Wailuku, both road over
scers, be dropped from the pay roll
for reasons stated in the report of
Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson has no per-
sonal hatred for the County officials
referred to, but he believes that the
unnecessary expenditure of County
money will continue from bad to
worse, through negligence and ig-
nOranCe of up-tO-date methods of
road construction ana supervision.
Mr.. Wilson claims that he proves
where the County had suffered to the
tune of several hundred dollars per
month unintentiOnally through un-
businesslike and Anticipated methods
oil road construction. His orders
have been disregarded by road over
CCers because the latter have miscon-
strued the meaning of the instruc-
tons given out by the Board since
the advent of Mr.. Wilson that the
Overseers regulate their work ac-
Cording to orders from Mr.. Wilson,
for regulating their WORK ana
taking orders" are contradictory
terms, so the road overseers in sew
cral instances are between the devil
and the deep blue sea as to whom to
obey for orders.
Mr.. Wilson appeared before the
Board this afternoon to suDstantiate
his charges against his Waikiki sub
ordinate. Mr.. Sommerfeld was seen
by your correspondent in regard to
the chl:res Gnd he seems to think
that the thgISC Mg frivolous, and
will trust to his popularity with the
public.
Mr.. Wilson charges that while the
