Some Suggestions for Outdoor Meals
A French Meal at Carpentras

In the ancient town of Carpentras.
where in the long ago Of 1900 Petrarch
lived and loved and wrote of Laura,
some American tourists recently dined
and such a dinner.
1t was in September at the begin
ming OF the chestnut market, and the
nuts were spread upon the ground and
on the movable tables, besides the
quantities at the regular booths.
Gardeners and workwmen from the
canning factory had been delegated TO
bring in the best and greatest possible
variety Of fruit; in consequence there
were Ii different kinds, including two
varieties of peaches, fine clingstone and
freestone; two kinds of aprlcots, both
and chestnuts. Three varieties of
grapes were used in decoration, a small
and a large white kind, and large pur
pie ones.
tree, which had been trained against
the wall for many feet and not al
lowed to branch until above it, so the
tree had gained the unusual height OF
% feet. Ladders were set against the
wall, and sweet. ripe figs were plucked
from the dropping branches. They had
two kinds that day, the blanquette and
the goutte dor. which takes its name
from a drop of amber sweetness that
exudes from the blossom end of the
fig yet never drips. The figs are of a
color. On the dinner table these figs
were heaped around a central basket
of Strawberries, which was partially
overturned.
This wonderful array of fruit was, of
course, only a portion of the meal.
First came a good soup, then a dish of
pheasant, delicately cooked, followed
by an entree of mushrooms, very odd
yellow ones, from the fields or woods.
The piece de resistance was guinea
fowl, roasted on a spit before an open
fire and stuffed with the finest truf-
fles There was a dainty, sweet des-
sert, some cheese and coffee, and wine
from native vineyards was served
throughout the meal
We know not whether Petrarch and
Laura ever dined so delightfully."- by
the riotous stream of the Sorgues. for
in all Petrarchs songs of his loneli-
ness there is no description of Laura
nor her home.

OIL STEAMER RUNS
INTO LUMBER SHIP
Coaster Norwood Is Rammed in
Fog Off Point Gorda by
the AsunciOn

The Standard oil steamer Asuncion.
Captain Bridget, bound from this port
for Portland. ran into the steamer Nor
wood. bound for San Pedro from Grays
Harbor. at o'clock Thursday morning
about four miles out from Point Gorda.
Only the Norwood's cargo of lumber
saved the coaster from being cut in two
and sunk. The Asuncion, its bow stove
in, would have filed and gone TO the
bottom hut for the oil filed tanks into
which its hold is divided. The Asun-
cion stood by and took on board the
crew and passengers OF the steam
schooner. The captain. mate and seven
members Of the Norwoods crew re-
turned 10 that vessel. which was taken
in tow by the Asuncion, which arrived
here yesterday with its water logged
victim.
In boarding the Asuncion Peter Lo-
gan. the Norwood's cook, fell from the
ladder into the lifeboat and disiocated
hts right shoulder.
Captain Bridget and his mate were
on the bridge of the Asuncion at the
time of the collision. 4 thick fog OBJ
scured their vision. The Norwood. with
the mate IN charge. was in clear
weather. but right ahead was heavy
fog bank. Through the fog the Asun-
cion's whistle was heard. Captain }.
/. Martin, master Of the Norwood, was
called and had been on the bridge five
minutes when the Asuncion emerged
from the fog and struck the Norwood
amidships on the port side
Captain Bridget of the Asuncion is
said TO be a part owner Of the Nor
wood. Both vessels were badly dam
aged. The passengers on the Norwood
were:
G. Boyer II. Linder. J. Z. Harvey. J.
Ford. /. Thompson, W. Sparks. G. J.
Gallagher. Mr.. and Mrs. Swanson and 6
year old boy. and Mrs. Anna Moore and

the Long island parkway. where the
Vanderbilt cup races will later take

c. B. Churchill, sales manager OF the
Winton motor carriage company, is in
San Francisco. He is making a flying
visit to the branch houses of the COM
pany, and will leave for the east to-
night. In speaking of the outlook
Churchill said that it was the best in
years through the east. The company
has more orders for this time of new
season than it has had since 1903. The
WintoH company is not alone in this
respect and many OF the other manu-
facturers report also a good outlook.

ANNUAL REPORTS WILL
Be ELABORATE ONES

The county statisticians are busy at
present compiling figures for the use
of the new Board of Supervisors, to
take their seats next month. This
year it is of the greatest Importance
that the work of the county be re-
duced to elaborate figures because Of
the requirements of the municipal law,
which makes it obligatory on the
county fathers to appropriate for de.
partmental uses in a way quite differ
ent to that hitherto in use. The mu-
nicipal law follows somewhat along
the lines of the procedure in the Leg
islature, where the estimates for the
different departments are made in ad-
vance for stated period and the APP
preparations made accordingly. 1t may
be that the one who drafted. the mu-
picipal act followed one drafted for a
municipality where the tax rate was
based on the estimates, instead of as
here, where the estimates have to be
based on the amount of taxes, but
such it is.
On this account, therefore, all APP
propriatiors having to be made by or
dinance or resolution and advertised,
the new members of the board will
have to know pretty well what is nee
essary in the way of work and what
the approximate cost is going to be.
The necessary work they will have to
learn for themselves; the approximate
costs of various works done are being
now figured down to fine point to
give the members something to go, by.
Most Of the compilations are being
done in the office of the County Clerk,
although the County Engineer and the
Road Supervisor will have elaborate
statistical reports to make by January
l. Both the latter officials are also
cleaning up all their work in hand in
order to have their house in order to
turn over to their successors, if there
are to be such.

SEEKING MARKET FOR
OUR MOTHER OF PEARL

A. L. G. Atkinson, who owns several
oyster beds in the Pearl Harbor lochs,
is to experiment with the bivalves to
learn if some commercial use can not
be made of the shells. The pearl Har-
Dor oyster, which only comes up through
the mud at certain periods OF the year,
boasts of shell which carries mother
of-pearl lining of particularly beautiful
sheen, and it is Mr.. Atkinson IS idea to
see if there is not market for this
ware.
Heretofore the mollusk which has
given name to what is going to be
the greatest naval harbor in the world
has been mythical creature so far as
the majority of people are concerned,
although the Hawaiians living about
the lochs have luaued considerably dur.
ing the months with RS in them ever
since the early missionaries translated
that verse into Hawaiian which has to
do with pearls and swine. Now, Mr.. At
kinson will find use for that part of
the oyster which has survived the luau.
The Pearl Harbor oyster shell mother
of-pearl is to be had in considerably
larger pieces than that found in the
shells of the farther south, where the
mother-of.pearl is divorced for com
mercial uses. 1t has, also, luster
and coloring higher than the ordinary,
and the idea is to see if market price
can not be had for it high enough to
make oyster fishing profitable. The
Promotion Committee are sending away
sample lot of shells to Eastern jewell
ers and other users of mother of-pearl
to secure their opinion on the quality
of the Hawaiian product.
There is a chance of finding pearls
also. Mrs, johnson, Hawaiian, got
three fine specimens from Pearl Harbor
oysters few months ago.

SANITARY WORK HAS
COST LARGE AMOUNT

Since May 1900, the amount spent
by the Territorial government for the
sanitary work of Honolulu has been
$104,3ls.61, Of which the Territory con
tributed $7l,941.99 and the merchants
of Honolulu, through the shippers
wharf tax, a voluntary contribution,
the balance. These figures have been
compiled by Acting Governor Mott
Smith in response to cabled inquiry
from the Governor. This sum repre-
sents the money spent in addition to
the expenditures due to leprosy and
does not include meteorological work
done in connection with the prevention
of plague.
