USE ANIMALS TO TEST DRUGS.
How Chemists Ascertain tho Purity
Of Ingredients.

A lot of sorry looking chickens, dogs
and cats loafed in the black, Ill smell
ing yard Of the great chemical plant.
1--WE use these animals to test our
drugs on" said the chemist. They
come in very handy. They more than
earn their board.
"Ergotine is drug we test on chick
ems. 1t is simple test. If a dose OF
ergotine fails to turn a chickens comb
black we know that the drug is, for
some reason or another, worthless.
"Hasheesh we test on dogs. Ha-
shoesh is made of female hemp buds;
male hemp buds have no medicinal
value, yet some dishonest dealers put
male buds on the market, and since
they resemble female buds precisely,
1t Is impossible to detect them save by
actual test. Dogs given hasheesh get
drunk and happy If the stuff is good.
"Digitalis, the heart stimulant, is
tested on frogs. We inject a drop Of
1t into frogs stomach, and in the
kymograph, or heartrecording ma
chine, we study the changes that take
place in the frogs heart action. Thus
we get very accurate knowledge Of
wkat our digitalis can do.
DO we ever test drugs on ourselves?
Oh, yes, indeed; often. Chemists have
lost their lives, chemists have gone in
curably insane, through too rash
bravery In testing drugs on their own
persons. Los Angeles Times.

APPLE heap lightly over the pudding
and brown slightly in a quick oven;
serve with sweetened cream.

Simplest Way. Is That Called the
Hirsch Test.

People not infrequently come home
from summer vacation If not with
typhoid, at least with bad malaria
or stomach disorders.
This is often caused by impure wa

into the country, where wells are used,
to know few simple tests by which
the condition of the water can be
told.
About the simplest is one that Is

He Got His Change.

One OF the many surprises for east
ern visitors at the Democratic conyen
ton in Denver was the general use OF
iron dollars is, silver-to the
exclusion of paper money. 1t is re-
lated that "well-heeled' Tammany
man passed a $1,000 bill over the bar
of a leading hotel and waited for his
change. "Tom," said the bartender,
turning to the colored porter, take rs
cents out of that and hand the gentle:
man his change" The negro never
turned hair. He took the bill, walked
around to the stockroom and in 40
seconds came trundling in wheelbar-
row load, touched his hat and said:
"Yo' change, sah." There was the
change-999 silver dollars and 20
cent piece!

witness mock marriage between the
princess and a disgraced nrnry officer,

much time, as Ellis train departed at

We had come to the relishes when
party of four officers took the table

on the wall-pegs, and sat down, order

there were five chairs to the table. but
even If only two were being used no
one had the right to withdraw one of
the vacant chairs without the most
elaborate apologies. This is the law of
courtesy in Barscheit. In America 1t
is different; If you see anything you
want. take 1t.
Presently one of the ofIicers-I knew
none of them save by sight--rose and
approached. He touched the flag in
solently and inquired what right II had
in public restaurant in Barscheit.
Ordinarily his question would not have
been put without some justification.
But he knew very well who | was and
what my rights were in this instance.

Pineapple Salad.

Pineapple in any form makes one
of the most deliciops summer salads.
Instead of cutting it in cubes, how
ever, and serving it either alone or
with celery, try combining the pine
apples and orange. The latter gives
an Intangible flavor that is quite diff
ferent from either of the fruits used
singly.
Cut the pineapple into quarter inch
cubes. Divide the oranges into sec.
tons, skin each one carefully and cut
ii in half
Chill the fruit on ice for half an
hour and serve on hearts of lettuce
with mayonnaise mixed through the
fruit.

MANY CANDIDATES FOR
THREE JUDGESHIPS

The terms of three circuit judges ex-
pire in December. These are Judge
Hardy of Kauai, Judge Matthewman of
West Hawaii, and Judge Parsons of
Hilo.
Governor Frear said yesterday that
he had made no recommendations to
President Roosevelt as to the filing of
the vacancies created by these expira-
tions of term.
He also said that a considerable num-
Der of applications for appointment had
been made, and that there would be no
difficulty in finding men willing to ac-
cept these appointments.
1t is probable that Governor Frear
viii discuss these appointments with
President Roosevelt when he goes to
Washington the middle of this month.
Governor Frear, Mr.. and Mrs. Newell
and Delegate Kuhio will all leave here
for Washington either by the transport
Crook or by the Mongolia, the latter of
which is due here November IA.

To
Be DISPOSED OF
In Three Localities on Hawaii
and at Pupukea on
Oahu.

Governor Frear yesterday approved
the arrangements for the sale of a
! considerable number of small home
| steads at Waimea, Hawaii. A piece
of government land that comes right
| up to the village of Waimea, almost
TO the bridge near Akona's, on the
Kohala side, is to be cut up into home
steads of about two and a half acres
each. These are about as large as
the Hawaiians want, as they will af-
ford opportunity for growing vege-
tables, corn and other products, and
flowers, for flowers grow in profusion
there and the Hawaiians are very
fond of them. The road from Wal
mea to Kohala runs right through the
tract.
The lots will be disposed of either
under the 999-year lease plan or under
the new special agreement modified 80
suit the conditions there.
On the Kawaihae lands, mauka, near
the road that runs from Waimea to
Kohala, there are a considerable num-
Der of natives living on land that be-
longs to the government but is leased
to the Parker Ranch. They have lived
there for many years. They are now
to be given a more settled tenure of
these holdings. They are to be sur
veyed and then each man is to be
given the opportunity to secure as his
own the land on which he lives. This
viii probably be under the 999-year
lease plan. The Parker Ranch will re-
lease from the operation of its lease |
the lands thus surveyed off.
In addition, some homesteads are to |
be opened up on the land of Kamaoa, |
in Kau. This is toward the south |
point of the Island. not far from the
road going from Waiohinu to Kaifua. |
The Pupukea lots, on this Island, |
will shortly be advertised by Land |
Commissioner Pratt. This will be |
done as soon as the contract for the
new road to them has been let. The I
total area of these lots is about 465
acres, with All arabic area of about !
l70 acres.
Some government land on the beach
at Kaneohe, with fine fish pond ap-
purtenant, is also to be sold shortly

and the matter is yet something of a
mystery. As the crew is green, it is
thought that perhaps the voice may
have aOated back from forward and the
words jumbled into something that
sounded Ike "Ship ahoy."
The Charleston viii remain here for
about a week. She is due to arrive at
Manila on November 90. On arrival
the flag of the admiral commanding the
Asiatic squadron will be transferred
from the Rainbow to the Charleston.
The Rainbow is to proceed to Mare
Island for an overhauling. The Charles
ton carries about thousand men.
Following is the roster of the Charles
ton: Commander c. H. Knapp; Lieu
tenant Commanders o. H. Koester and

The Charleston is protected cruiser
of 5000 tons, carrying IA guns. She is
similar in construction to the Milwau-
kee and st. Louis. She has no turret
batteries. The former Charleston was
wrecked on the Luzon coast.
