GARAGE
CHANGES OWNERSHIP

At a meeting of the directors of E.
o. Hall & Son, Ltd, yesterday it was
decided to accept a proposition where
by they would acquire all of the in
terests in the Associated Garage, on
Merchant street, on April /. The
garage was organized about eighteen
months ago, o. E. Mccarthy of the
Hawaiian Office Speciality Co. being
one of the organizers. 1t has done a
fair business since it's opening, but
was not in a position to accept all
orders presented. 1t is the intention
of the new owners, according to a
statement made by E. H. Paris, to
make such changes in the garage as
will bring it to a point of excellence
not reached by any simila" concern
west of the Rocky Mountains.
An elegant new showroom will be
built for the display Of automobiles
on sale and the exhibition of sundries
and requisites. Skilled mechanics are
to be employed in the erecting and
repair departments, and careful aim
maintained to give the most perfect
satisfaction in every detail of the
management. Messrs Hall & Son will
continue to import Franklins for sale
and will add other makes to the list.
Auto owners expressed themselves
yesterday as being pleased with the
change.

BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought in Irishman's Mind A.
ter the Accident.

Railroad claim-agents have little
faith in their fellow creatures. One
said recently: every time l settle a
claim with one of these hard-headed
rural residents who wants the rail-
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher if he gets a sheep
killed, l think of this story, illustra-
tive of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into ditch, overturned,
and they were both stunned. When a
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one of them said was:
Where's the train?' Why, there's no
train around he was told. Then
where's the railroad? The nearest
railroad is three miles away he
learned Well, WELL he commented.
I knew it hit us pretty hard, but l
didn't suppose it knocked us three
miles from the track.

EGGS IN A NEW STYLE.
Australian Devises Unique Method to
Preserve Hen Product.

Ottawa, Ont-Australians have de-
vised scheme to turn fresh-laid eggs
to powder for preserving and shipping
purposes.
In recent report the trade COM
missioner for Canada in Australia
makes special reference to a process
for desiccating eggs now being carried
out there, for which high claims are
made, and which the commissioner
thus describes:
Desiccated eggs are not substitutes
for eggs, but newly laid eggs and are
treated by process by which only
the shell and. water contents of the
egg are removed, and the whole sub
stance of the egg, yolk and albumen,
converted into powder.
1t is claimed to have been proved
that this powder will keep for years.
and only requires the addition of milk
or water. when the powdered eggs will
reconstitute and be ready for use for
any purpose just the same as a newly
laid egg. The powder is rich and at
tractive looking, and is reported by
the government analysts Of New South
Wales and Victoria to contain no
chemical preservative. No part of
the egg except the water has been re-
moved in the process.

THE ORIGIN OF PROFANITY.
LInsuisticalIy It 10 Primarily Duo to I
Desire for Emphasis.

One proposition there is which
needs to be stated emphatically at this
point, writes Prof. Thomas R. Louns
bury, in Harper's. Words anu phrases
which are amply sufficient for the un'
derstanding are often altogether made
quate for the expression of the feel
ings. The result of this mental dissat
isSaction with the communication OF
mere knowledge is most conspicuous
ly illustrated in the wide prevalence
of profanity. Into the discussion of this
practice it's moral and religious as.
pect does not enter at all. 1t is pure.
ly from the linguistic side that it is
here to be considered So looked at,
its existence and the extent of the in.
dulgence in it bear out the truth OF
the principle just announced. What.
ever intellectual justification there
may be for profanity is based upon the
fact that men are aiming to state
strongly what they feel strongly. The
habit is, in consequence, subject to the
general law governing intensives.
To a very great extent the practice
of swearing is specially characteristic
of rude and imperfect civilization.
With the advance of culture profanity
declines. 1t declines not so much be-
cause men become peculiarly sensitive
to its viciousness, but they do to its
ineffectiveness. The growth of refine
ment both in the individual and in
the community tends more to it's dis
use than all the exhortations of NOR
alists or the rebukes of divines. Much
must always be allowed in the case of
particular persons for the influence of
early training and association. Ex-
ceptions are, therefore, too numerous
to lay down any positive rule; STILL it
is safe to say in general that mans
intellectual development is largely de-
termined by the extent of his indulg-
ence in profanity. No one, indeed,
doubts its wide prevalence at the pres
ent time. But compared to the prac-
tice of the past, it has been steadily,
even if slowly, diminishing for CEN
turies. This does not prove that men
are better morally or Intellectually
than they were. 1t does show, however
that there exists now a higher aver
age of cultivation, which renders the
habit distasteful to increasingly large
numbers.
