"The gathering OF hair in China"
said Captain Grimes, "is quite an in
dustry, as when a Chinaman is buried
he is placed in hole in the ground
in an upright position, with the head
sticking out of the ground. The head
is closely shaved for the pigtail. The
Chinese believe that their big joss
comes around in the night and takes
the soul Of the buried one by the pig
tail. After the first visitation OF the
Americans with their shears the
brothers and sisters OF the buried
Chinaman reported that the joss had
been busy with their relatives. and
were content in the belief that the joss
had lifted the souls to heaven by the
missing pigtails.'

much to the effect through their
taste in floral arrangement.
1908 will register the greatest crop
of berries and cherries that Oregon
has ever produced. Quality is mag
nihcent, quantity almost unlimited,
and while humanity is enjoying this
fruit the maturing hay crop insures
a big increase in the dairy output,
which has been greatly benefited by
as good Spring pastures as were ever
known in this section. Residents Of
the Northwest should take pains to
see that their Eastern country friends
are made familiar with the unesualled
conditions which make dairying so
profitable here.

home last Tuesday morning with 81

returned home since. His wife, who
is on the verge OF a nervous break
down, says she believes her husband
is being held for ransom and that he
will be killed il $4,000 is not paid to
his captors. Two anonymous letters
in which demands for $4,000 have
been made upon the diamond firm OF
Stern Bros. and Company have been
received by that firm and were turned
over to the police, who are investigat-
ing the strange disappearance OF
Newsman. A telephone message
which Newman received the night be-
fore he went away figures in the case.
After talking to some persons over
the telephone for several minutes, ne
told his wife that two men from the
west had asked him to carry diamonds
to them for inspection early the next
morning. Newman also said some
thing about a boat but Mrs. Newman
does not remember exactly what this
statement about the boat was.
On Tuesday morning Newman who
had kept in his house some of the dia-
monds he had for sale placed $1,000
worth of the gems in pocket book
and left the house. When he did not
return to his home for dinner Tues
day night his wife became alarmed
and sent word to Newman's relatives
that her husband was missing. They
instituted a search of the morgue and
the hospitals but could get no trace
of the missing salesman.

MADE A MILLION
Pioneer Restaurant Keeper OF Chic
ago Dies After Keeping Word.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Christian
Buricky, one Of the pioneer restaurant
keepers of Chicago, died yesterday at
his residence. He attained something
more than the local fame as "the man
who quit when his pile was made"
Previous to the big fire Of 1871 he
and ed" Milan opened a lunch room
in an old box car in Madison Street.
Buricky did the cooking and Milan
waited on the customers. Their enter
prise was regarded as something Of a
Joke at the start, but both young men
were serious and worked with unfag-
ging zeal 1--WE wont quit until we get
million" was their motto.
Within a couple of years they ac-
cumulated sufficient money to furnish
basement in Madison Street. After
the fire they moved to l54 and l5t
Clark Street and opened what is said
to have ben the Original first class
restaurant Of Chicago" During the
latter part Of 1888 they began taking
stock and counting cash. They dis
covered that their joint riches totalled
little over 100000 and the next
day the place was offered for sale
Buricky never again entered any bust
ness.

THE FORD RUNiB0UI

The most popular machine in the
States for the past few years has
been the Ford runabout. While talk
ing with Mr.. Schuman this morn
ing, he said that there had been
more Ford runabOuts sold in the
Islands than any other cars. The
reason for this Is that the car is fast,
easily handled, and very cheap for
the quality that it Possesses. One
can not help but notice the many
Fords that are in use right here in
Honolulu.
The 5spassenger, SO-h.p. "Studo-
baker" car that Miss Alice Macfar-
lane has, just purchased has created
quite II sensation about town. There
is a 7-passcnger' 4O-h.p. car Of the
same make on the way here which is
the only car that has the make and
break" ignition. The Schuman Car
riage Co. are the agents for these
cars.

"The marks were described on that

WHY NOT PINEAPPLE
BRANDY INDUSTRY?
Hawaii Is Overlooking
A Bet, Thinks Mr..
Thomas

ttlNhtNS
1T looks to me as If Hawaii were
missing an opportunity to inaugur-
ate and develop very promising in
dustry," said Revenue Agent Thomas
this morning. 81 cant see why the
manufacture of brandy from piueap-
pies ought not to be paying bust
ness. There is nothing OF the kind
in the world. but | believe that a
brandy can he made from pineapplcs
which would have very strong fla-
vor and an excellent taste. | have

~, and there may he difficulties in
the way of which know nothing,
but from what ! do know 1t seems to
ME that Hawaii is overlooking n
hrst-rate opportunity.
Smell that and see what you
think of it." And Mr.. Thomas took
from a shelf in the Internal Revenue
Office a measuring glass partly filed
with a nearly colorlcsH liquid The
odor arising from It was rich aud
fruity. Now, that was distilled
here in a little laboratory still. Much
better results could be obtained from
the proper kind of still | don't
know how rapidly pineapple fer
ments, but should think that 1t
would ferment very easily in this eli
mate"
Collector Drake stated that pine
apple ferments very quickly, almost
as soon as It is put into mash-tub
THAT would make 1t necessary"
continued Mr.. Thomas, Ito have u
large still. | understand that some
experiments have been made in the
way of distilling pineapple, hut the
stills used were not of the right kind
and so the results obtained were not
all they would be under better con-
ditiOns.
There must he large percentage
OF the pineapple crop which is not
fitted for canning. These culls could
be used for making brandy. And In
season when the price Of pineapplcs
fell too low, almost the whole crop
| could be made into brandy. Back in
my State, California, we often use
the very best of the ralsin grape
crop for making wine, even when
| raisius are five cents a pound. Even
the seeds are used. The big seeding
houses sell all of the seeds to certain
| firms, which add little water and
let 1t stand, and then drain of the

till It. A very good grade of liquor
results.
| Even the peach and apricot skins

liquor made from them. There Is =
very large demand for peach, apricot
aud such other brandics for blending

went into effect. Before that, cs.
scnCcs could be used, but that Is
done away with now. As conge
QucnCc the entire stock has beer
sold out. There Is not Il barrel o

II believe that brandy can b,

make n better drink and be more
suitable for blending purposes than
either peach or apricot brandy. The
