CATCH FISH WHILE ASLEEP.
Hawaiian Method So Destructive That
Law Against 1t Is Demanded.

Hawaiian Method So Destructive That
Law Against 1t Is Demanded.
j. M. Herring is the very appropri-
ate name of the fish inspector at lilo,
Hawaiian islands. In recent report
ne says that the food fishes of Hawaii
are rapidly disappearing because of
the slaughter of those not fully grown.
Ignorant natives and Japanese labor
e-s are responsible. Besides using
small mesh nets they have a method
of making catch which is thus de-
scribed by Mr.. Herring:
THE natives use mixture or COM
bination of herbs known as auhuhu or
aka, ball of which when deposited
a, the bottom of pond frequented by
fish acts in the nature of chloroform,
putting the fish to sleep. When the
hsh rise to the surface the natives
gather them up, and they are sold or
eaten like other fish.
There does not appear to be any
harmful effect from the use of this
drug after the fish are cooked, for the
Hawaiians eat fish killed in this man
ner with impunity. But the action of
the drug is the same on all fish within
the radius of its influence, and the
young suffer death as we'll as the larg-
er fish.
The present law provides a penalty
for fishing with dynamite, but does
not cover this method of destroying
the fish,"
On Mr.. Herring's suggestion new
protective law has been introduced in
the Hawaiian Legislature.

other is of musquash trimmed with
dull gold gallon and ecru lace. Both
styles might be admirably copied in
18th or in velvet, or velveteen, whose
popularity for costumes for outdoor
wear grows ever and always. And, by
the way, some of the latest very smart
short walking costumes are made OF
finely striped velvet trimmed with
81 k braid.
A novelty which deserves mention
is white cloth blouse covered with
an embroidery in silk and chenille.
other woolen blouses are of fine can
Vas, and others, again, of cashmere,
but on the score of economy none of
these can be cordially commended, for
they suffer very severely from a visit
to the laundress or cleaner, usually
turning yellow, and the blouse made
in shirt style oI white China silk may
be relied upon for greater durability.
The latest cry in hats is the fur cap.
Its most popular trimming is a glisten-
ing green bird at one side; other dec
orations are rosettes of dull gold,
small round punches of flowers, or a
waving paradise plume. Amongst the
best and most unusual examples that
I have seen is one of black fox with
crown of black tulle and decora-
tion of aggressive green wings at one
side. This, worn by girl with plen-
tiful mass of dull red hair, is specially
successful.

For this reason. and because the

declare that the tree is that which

called the Tree of the Knowledge of

CARE OF THE FLOOR
USEFUL DIRECTIONS FOR THE
CAREFUL HOUSEWIFE
Expert Tells of Methods He Uses in
Keeping in Condition the Floors
In a Large City Hotel.

Hardwood floors are becoming more
and more of a necessity in the aver
age home.
They are practical, sanitary and In
the end less expensive than carpets,
besides affording opportunities for
artistic rugs.
In hotels and large houses the floors
are under the supervision OF man
who comes in once month or so to
refurbish and look them over.
Smaller households can attend to
these details themselves.
The following directions given by
floor finisher may help some persons
who can not have their floors taken
care of by experts.
"The most important part of finish
ing a floor" says this man who at
tends to the large hotels in a city,
"is to give it smooth, soft appear
ance.
'It should be well planed, scraped
and sandpapered to give it an even
surface before any filling is applied.
mo. 1 sandpaper is best for this
purpose. 1t is ruinous to floor to
finish it without properly preparing it
in the beginning.
"Varnish should be seldom used
on a floor. If / had my way I should
never use it, but some persons prefer
it for kitchens, bathrooms and foJrs
that need wiping with water.
'Tf the floor is old the first step is
to scrape it thoroughly, using cabi-
net makers scraper. This is a round
ed piece of sheet tin and does not
scratch the floor while it will remove
every particle of old dirt and filings.
"If the varnish sticks badly the
hard places can be soaked with lye
and water before using the scraper.
"a new floor will not have any
holes, but an old floor may have many
that will have to be puttied up be-
fore applying any finish.
Care must be taken not to use
much oil in doing this, as it spreads
on the wood and when the hole is
filled the surface must be smoothed
with the scraper.
THE next step is to apply the coat
ing.
Its object is to bring out the grain
of the wood and it should be rubbed
in with rag. Linseed oil is good for
this.
81 let it lie about ten minutes be-
fore wiping for the last time. When
the floor is dry l apply coat of
shellac. l thin this, so it will dry
readily, and apply with wide and
pliable brush Then l wax the floor
with a prepared wax which l buy by
the pounds and use a white cotton
rag for the purpose.
"After the floor has remained in
this state over night l polish it with
the heaviest polishing iron l can use.
Sometimes this iron weighs SO
pounds and the floor looks so well
am repaid for the effort. l always
have success if | am allowed to finish
floor exactly in this manner"
If there are stains use a little tur
pentine on rag to remove them un-
less they are ink stains, in which case
little oxalic acid will remove them
The true secret of good looks in
hardwood floors is never to wash them
In soap and water.
If wax makes them too slippery the
Bhellac alone can be supplied.
Soft wood floors can be finished like
hardwood, and though they are more
ferred to carpets.
1t is mistake to put coloring mat
ter o. floor.
Natural color is always preferable
either in hard or soft wood.
