The Finest Railway Train India.

The American has long been
taught, and perhaps rigidly so,
that the United states is the
real'home of the railroad, but a
passenger train has just been
placed in service in India by the
side of which the finest passen-
ger train in this country would
not have the advantage, as far
as comforts for travellers are con-
cerned.
Chief among the special feat
ures of this train, which runs
between Calcutta and Bombay,
are the bath rooms. There are
three of these in each first-class
coach, or corridor saloon, as they
are G. laled. The tops of the basins
are almost on a level with the
floor and are provided with
hinged covers to keep out dust
and dirt. The floors are tiled
with unglazed encaustic tiles and
the sides are paneled to the win
dow stills with glazed sanitary
tiles of dark shade.
The train consists of two COM
posite baggage and third-class
coaches, three frst-class CORR
dor saloons and a dining car.
The first-class coaches are sixty
three feet long, ten feet wide,
and nine feet high. Each car
is divided off into four compart-
ments with four berths in each,
and additional staterocm at one
end The seats and berths are
upholstered in dark-green mo-
rocco. At intervals throughout
the entire train are electric fans
which keep the air in circula-
ton, Popular Mechanics.

To Tell The Age Of A Sheep.

The age of sheep is very easily
shown by examination of the
teeth. A lamb has the first pair
of permanent front teeth when
about ten months old; the second
pair appears at about eighteen
months; the third pair at twenty
eight months. When the whole
of the permanent front teeth
have appeared the sheep is in it's
4th year. The Merino natures its
teeth later than the other breeds;
the Costwold and Southdown
and other highly improved NUT
ton sheep are some months ahead
of Merino. but at four years
every sheep has its full mouth of
teeth. Later the age is known
by the appearance of the teeth,
which gradually lose their sharp
edges and becomes worn down
smooth. A healthy sheep will
keep it's teeth until ten or twelve
years old, if the pasture is not
unusually bare and the soil sandy
so as to wear the teeth excess
lively. Elk.

Fruit is Best Medicine.

Here are the prescriptions of
a celebrated physician: Eat
fruit for breakfast, for dinner,
for supper. Shun hot rolls, hot
biscuits and buttered toast. Eat
wholewheat bread. Refuse rice
pudding. Decline potatoes If
they are served more than once
a day. Do not drink too much
coffee or tea and very, little beer
and whisky. Walk several miles
every day in summer and every
other day in winter. Brush the
teeth and wash the face in warm
water every night before retir-
ing. Sleep eight hours. Here
are the fruits to be eaten. APP
Piles, grapes and bananas at any
time, day or night, but not too
many at a time. These are the
three most healthful fruits and
the habitual eater will require
no medicine. Peaches are good
for the clearing of a muddy COM
plexion. Pears are healthful
raw, but better when cooked.
Strawberries are good for rheu-
matism. Oranges are good for
dyspepsia, but Pineapples are
even better. Lemons are fine
tonic and a few drops squeezed
into half a wine glass Of water
each morning or night will act
more benefcially on the system
than purgative pills or salts.

Material For Hats.

Felt is seen occasionally, but
the hat of the moment is of setin,
ottoman or cloth,
Ottoman is more to the front
than for years and velvet is often
covered with folds of mousseline
Of the same shade.
"Sombre" is the motto of the
millinerial season and there are
more dark hats seen than for a
decade.
Plumes, wings and aigrettes
are demi-tones of blue, green,
purple and other serious shades.
Nile green and non-committal
shade known as aubergine, or
egg plant, are finding favor and
from combination almost uni
versally becoming.
Karl Buff used and all tones of
yellow are in vogue for the late
hats, and, although a little too
brazen by themselves, are eff.
fective when toned down by
another color.

extent silage may be made to take
the place of grain in feeding
dairy cattle. Two rations were
fed, carrying practically the
same amount of day matter.
In one ration over fifty per
cent, of this dry matter was
derived from silage. In the other
ration over fifty-seven per cent.
of the dry matter was derived
from grain, no silage being fed.
The COWS fed with the silage
ration produced 9.67 pounds of
milk and sos pounds of butter
fat per 100 pounds of dry matter.
The COWS fed on the grain
ration produced 81.3 pounds of
milk and 3.9 pounds of butter
fat per 100 pounds of dry mat
ter.
The cost of feed per 100 pounds
of milk was 68.7 cents with the
silage ration, and $1.06 with the
grain ration.
The cost of feed per one pound
of butter fat was 1871 cents with
the silage ration, and 22,1 cents
with the grain ration.
The average net profit per cow
per month lover cost of labor
was $5.8 with the silage ration,
and $3.50 with the grain ration.

When Hate is Met With Hate.

How little we realize when we
hurl thunderDolts of hatred to-
ward another that these terrible
thought shafts always come
back and wound the sender, that
all the hateful, revengeful bit
ter thoughts in t. n de d for
another are great javelins hurled
at ourselves.
How many people go through
life lacerated and bleeding from
these thrusts which were intend
ed for others.
Think of what people who re-
fuse to speak to another, because
of some fancied grievance or
wrong, are really doing to them
selves! How this venom intend
ed for another poisons their own
minds and cripples their efficien-
cy.
A kindly feeling, a feeling of
good will toward another, is our
best protection against bitter
hatred or injurious thoughts of
any kind. Nothing can pene-
trate the love shield, the good
will shield. We are unframed
behind that.
1t does not matter what feel
ings of revenge and jealousy a
person may have toward us, if
we have the love thought, the
charitable thought toward him,
his javelins of hate will glance
from us, fly back and wound only
himself.

citizens a hearing and to treat them in
a gentlemanly manner, as when our
representatives were in Finley last
Friday night, at which time they were
virtually invited to leave town.
We are content to let the people OF
the county render judgment as to who
conducted the most gentlemanly con-
test, and which place has used 'gang''
methods.
We go over these things simply
because the integrity of u citizens
has been attacked and we wished to
set the matter right while it was fresh
in mind, and then let it drop, as the
election is over and we have no CON-
plants to make as to the results. In
fact we feel that on account of the
matter having been opened up before
it should have been, and we only
having a week to present our special
inducements to the voters of the
county, then in addition having TO OPP
pose a lot of misrepresentation on the
part of the opposition, had to meet
a campaign whose only motive APP
peared to be Anything to beat
Hope AS an evidence OF
this Blabon people state that
a bunch of Finley boomers (?)
were in Blabon the day before
election and told them if they would
support Finley this time 10 years from
now they would work to land the
county seat in Blabon. Wherever
they went it was not so much ''Vote
for Finley" but "Vote against Hope"
So we feel that against this combi-
nation of unfair opposition we have
reason to feel we'll satisfied with the
vote we received. We recognize the
right of every citizen to his own
opinion in this matter and to vote
these sentiments and we take this oc-
casion of thanking those who stood
by US so loyalty and while Hope isn't
the county seat, yet we have one Of
the cleanest and most progressive lit
tie cities in the State and one that we
believe some day Steele County
citizens will point to with pride as
their County Seat.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1908-11-05

Now that the County Seat Contest is
over it may be of profit to look back
over the field and view the situation.
It will be remembered that this
question was opened up by Finley and
they made claims OF support owing to
the fact that they had done so. We
replied that we thought the time was
not ripe to open up this question,
and for this reason we had taken no
steps to bring on a contest. OF course
we were in the race, and always were,
though it seemed to be regarded by
some Finley folks rs an imposition
for us to think we might be entitled to
the County Seat. They seemed to
think they were the only candidate
that should be allowed to enter the
field. This was evidenced by an
article published under date of May
18th, by a citizen of Finley, which
says: ''If I could see that some other
town could get more votes than my
town. wouldn't be a dog in the
manager and refuse to let the horse eat
because I couldn't"
AS an evidence of their foresight
and spirit of prophecy We refer to the
votes for the two towns, namely Hope
585, Finley 1888. Who appears to be
the dog in the manger?
It has been the aim and intent of
our committee to conduct a clean
campaign, and if our readers will
think over the letters and statements
that have been made by us we do not
think they will find any mud sling
ing'' in referring to any competitor,
while we do not think this 'sentirely
true" of those who have been fighting
Hope. Along this line we might re.
fer to a Misrepresentation under q
heading of ''l6 Months Record al

What are the facts; on Nov. 8, 1884,

and the county had lots and build

own the lots in Hope, for which they
are getting rent. Even If there wa
extravaganza which there nearly al
ways is in new counties, why lay it t,

of our town and if you will think
back you will remember that Finley's

give you any reason why the County
Seat should be in Finley.
AS to an agreement being made with
Finley not to give a bonus, this is not
true. Hope citizens held a meeting
and discussed the advisability of not
filing the petitions, and it was de-
cided that while we felt our chances
were by far the best of any town, that
the county sentiment was hardly ad-
vanced to a point where it would be
possible to get the required vote, but
if Finley would withdraw, we would
also do so, and a committee composed
of Messrs. Cassell, Kraabel, Warner,
Shippy and Moores was appointed to
meet Finley representatives in Sher-
brooke. This vas the only matter
talked of at this meeting, and no
other Instructions were given the
committee. II there was any talk of a
bonus by them it a simply an in
dividual expression of opinion on the
part of some OF the men present, for
if they had desired to make such an
agreement they had no power to bind
the people of Hope. They state there
was no agreement, and we are willing
to allow the citizens of the county tc
pass judgment upon the integrity o:
the men named. The Finley repre-:
sentatives refused to Withdraw the
} petitions, stating that they wanted il
to come to a vote this fall, win OF
lose. We then left our petitions to be
: filed when Finley delivered theirs te
make the required number. These
petitions did not specify any town il
particular, but the next day, being

Finley representatives appeared be

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1908-08-07

The Board Of License Commissioners
had their heart-to'h"art talk with Col.
c. ]. Mccarthy yesterday afternoon in
regard to the Palace restaurant at tho
corner of Richards and Merchant
streets,
The result of it was that all hands
reached the conclusion that the crowd
on the Milwaukee was different crowd
from that on the fleet, and that il was
a pretty hard thing to enforce nice
regulations as to just how drinks
should be served when couple of hun
dred memo war 'smen crowded into a
place all at once and insisted that they
wanted it in the bottle and not in the
glass, and that they were experts at
knocking the necks off bottles and
didn't need any such dilettante nipple.
meuts as corkserews.
As result or sequel of the meeting
another meeting will be held, and at
this it is hoped to formulate some regu-
lations which will prevent the particu-
lar features to which objection has been
made.
The whole matter started from COM
plants that, especially during the stay
of the Milwaukee in port, and more par
ticularly on the last Sunday the Mil.
waukee was in port, there was contin-
uously large crowd at the Palace,
noisy and sometimes vulgar and OBJ
scene in their language, and that i'm
mense quantities of beer was sold in
bottles to be carried away from the
place, and drunk on the streets and else
where, the bottles to be thrown away
wherever they became empty.
Col. Mccarthy candidly admitted
that great deal of this was true, but
showed that much of the noise and dis
turbance occurred because of the efforts
of those in charge of the place to main
tain decorum and restrict as much as
possible the purchase of bottled goods
to be taken away.
Col Mccarthy told the Board that in
his opinion there ought to be more
places with Sunday privileges or none
at all; that with the Sunday privilege
restricted to two places the whole Sun
day business congested in them. with
the result that it was impossible to

have the necessary trained attendants
to handle 1t properly. He said that he
believed that on any Sunday when tho
feet or the Milwaukee was in port, il
there had been Ave places with the Sun
day privilege instead of two, there
would have been less disturbance, and
as for his own place, he believed he
would have taken in 5000 more than
he did, simply because the attendants
could handle the trade.
AS 1t was, during the time the fleet
was here and while the Milwaukee YVES
in port he closed the place at half-past
eleven every evening, though his. Y
cense permitted keeping open all night,
simply to prevent any disturbance
Three several times during business
hours the bar was closed up and no
more drinks served, in order to prevent
anything unseemly or disturbing.
The Board asked Col, Mccarthy what
regulations he would recommend to pro-
vent the objectionable features of which
complaint had been made. COL Me-
Carthy replied that he had not come
prepared to speak on that subject, but
that he believed that it was within the
spirit of what it was hoped to accom-
plish by the law, that no liquor of any
kind should be sold on Sunday to be
taken away from the premises to be
drunk elsewhere, although the law
clearly permitted such sale. AS proof
of how thoroughly he believed in that,
he had refused to sell any to be taken
away or the Sunday that the fleet was
in port, and the only disturbance in the
place of which the nearest resident had
complained was made by sailor who
was refused bottle of liquor to be
taken away and who insisted on hav-
ing it.
The Board in framing regulations to
meet the difficulties that have develop
ed are anxious to avoid running counter
to the law in any way.
Fire Chief Thurston and H. II. VIII
liams were called before the Board to
tell what they knew about disturbances
at the Palace. Chief Thurston said that
the only annoyance he had suffered was
