What He Saw at kilauea

Mr.. c. L. La Rue of Sacramento,
California, who has travelled extern
sively around the world, returned from
Hawaii by the S. S. Mauna Loa Tues
day of this week: in an interview he
said:
Yes, have just been to the vol
cano; was it worth while? Well!
I should think so; it was worth
going around the world to see; I
would not have missed it for any
consideration; it is a spectacular
performance which cannot be de-
scribed; it is so~ awfully fascina-
ting that one can hardly leave it;
If my business would have per-
mitted, I would have remained
D there a week. The wonder to me
is that your Honolulu people do
not make more of it; they can't
realize the extent of the present
activity; I understand that hum
dreds went up to see the flow of
1907, and that it was not a bit
more attractive than Kilauea is
at the present time.
Everybody returns from the vol
cano with the same enthusiasm and

Smiles Keep Affection.

No matter what the novelists say
against her, the smiling wife is an i'm
provement on her stern browed sister,
and the smiling mother is the one who
gathers her babies most tenderly in
her arms. Children read more in looks
than in speech.
"She talked kind, but she looked
cross" said little boy of new teach
er as reason for his refusal to go to
school. And big people are affected
much more than they realize by the ex-
pressions of the faces that they meet
in the street "She was so pleasant is
the inscription on a moss notified stone
in country churchyard. "She was so
pleasant is not bad epitaph for any
one when the book Of life is finished.
The smile is as much the sign of
good humor as an open fire is sign of
warmth and cheer.

MRS. HUMPHREY WARD.
The Noted English Novelist Who is
Visiting America.

The Noted English Novelist Who Is
Visiting America.
A woman who has had the pleasure
of meeting Mrs. Humphry Ward dur
ing her visit to this country has the
following to say of the personality of
the noted English authoress:
Your first impression on beholding
Mrs. Humphry Ward is one of wonder
at the extreme delicacy of the woman's
physique You cannot conceive how
she had the mere endurance to produce
so many written words as are contain
ed in Robert Elsmere," "Marcella" or
any of her other books which were
first published in three volume form.
She is rather tall, has an oval face,
and her eyes are not large. lustrous
and soulful" as some popular descrip
tons render them. AS matter of
fact, Mrs. Wards eyes are rather
small, and her whole face and manner
rather strike one as being quite ordi-
nary.
1t is only when she speaks that you
know at once there is something re-
markable about her. Her voice is one
of the most musical human voices

Caustic Whistler.

Whistler's caustic wit is shown by
the following anecdote:
'Of one who was held to be Eng
lands most brilliant young artist, Yes
he said thoughtfully, he's clever, but
there's something common in every
thing he does, so what's the use of
itY"
Like many great men, he had but
little time for any but his own work.
''He told me a story demonstrating this.
most clearly His "Nocturne In Blue.
and Gold, Valparaiso was in the Hill
collection in Brighton. Mr. Hill had
two galleries and a well known collec~
ton, eventually sold at Christie's.
Whistler went down to see Mr.. Hill.
and said he:
81 was shown into the galleries and
of course took a chair and sat looking
at my beautiful "Nocturne." Then, as.
there was nothing else to do, l went
to Sleep Sidney Starts Personal

Selma by Fraud.

One of the catalogue houses. other
wise mail order stores, is selling for So
an electroplated watch which it repre-
Sents as having a gold filed case. and
the house warrants the timepiece for
twenty years. Precisely the same
watch is sold at profit by many jew
elers for So. The mail order concern
which sells it for So makes at least So
by clear and unadulterated fraud. Yet
many persons throughout the country
are buying this timepiece just because
of the twenty years warrant and the
gold filling claim. Naturally a man
who has been handed a lemon" will
not kick back if the lemon turns out
to be sour, so the catalogue house has
very little trouble from the complaints
Of those who find that the article they
get is not the one they order.

CLEANING UP SCHEME.
How Girls Helped to Clear a Tract
For New Park,

For New Park.
If any tract of land in your town
needs cleaning up, try the following
method adopted by the mayor Of a
Missouri town:
Every schoolgirl il Alton, Mo-, be-
came a Maud Muller the other Gay, but
instead of meadow sweet With hay"
she raked the siXty-fve acre tract, in
GLIDING Rock Spring park, donated to
Alton for public purposes.
Mayor Beall headed the park raking
fete. He was there with the biggest
rake of all and made the greatest show
of feverish industry, says the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch. All the citizens of the
town were invited to help. and most Of
them responded. All the school chill
dren were invited, and all of them re-
sponded. Free transportation was pro-
vided on street car lines to the park,
and special cars were run for the
rakers.
No appropriation was made by the
city council for cleaning the tract and
Mayor Beall resorted to a general call
The results surpassed his expectations.
and rubbish and leaves disappeared as
if by magic.

How to Boil Fish.

In boiling any fish you should put
enough water in a large pot to enable
a fish to swim in if it were alive. Add
to this water half cup Of vinegar, a
teaspoonful of salt, one whole onion,
one dozen whole black peppers, one
blade Of mace. Take any fish and sew
it up in new piece of cheesecloth
fitted to the shape of the fish. Put in
the water and heat slowly for thirty
minutes: then let it boil hard and fast
for about ten minutes. Unwrap and
serve with drawn Lutter made from
tie liquor in which the fish was cooked
and add to it the Juice of half a lemon.

imaginable: her words have round
ness. fullnesS and musical cadence
which make you think somehow that
you are listening to a musical instru-
ment.
Her choice of words is exact. while
rapid. and she does not express
thought that might be put in fewer or
greater words Everything she says
sounds as if it were first written.
though the music of the voice renders
it in such a pleasing way that you
rather forget the stiffness of the SEN
fences.
From published photographs of Mrs.
Ward one would place her age at about
thirty-tive years. AS fact she is
nearly in her tifty-seventh year. having
been born June IL. 1851. Her father
! was a brother of Matthew Arnold, the
famous author. and her mother the
daughter of Governor Sorrell of Tas-
mania. Australia. where the famous
authoress was born.
She is not eXtravagant in dress or
lavish in entertaining. but spends her
money freely in protecting herself from
the common horde. When she goes to
Paris she takes furnished fat. When
she goes to Italy she takes villa in
a secluded district. Almost never does
she stop at a hotel.
If she has important literary work to
do. she insists upon being entirely sep
arated from her family If they are in
the town house. she goes to the coun-
try home. or vice versa, taking only
maid who has been in her service for
years and is acquainted with her &C.

A Chinese DeIicacy.

The tips from the topmost shoots Of
the bamboo tree are culled when they
are not more than three inches long,
peeled and preserved much as pine
apple is, though the tips are cut in
quarters. This fruit has a remarkably
delicate and pleasant taste and is large
~ used as a favoring for meat, though
it can be eaten in the raw state, being
rich and juicy. The edible is expen-
sive on account of the difficulty in Sc
curing it from the tops Of the tall.
slender trees at just the right time.

PROTECTING SHADE TRES.
Work of Commissions Appointed FOR
That Purpose.

That Purpose.
The cities in New Jersey and Penn
sylvania are by statute now enabled to
appoint shade tree commissions to take
care of the shade trees on their streets.
They can set out new trees and assess
the cost on the property benefited.
They trim trees, protect them from in
jury. clean out decayed trunks and I'LL
the holes with cement and wage war
against the insect pests. Municipal
Engineering describes the methods of
work of the shade tree commission or
East Orange. n. J., and shows what
can be done.
In the trimming of trees great care
is taken to cut off all limbs close to
and even with the trunk. All scars are
painted with coat of thick coal tar.
Ali trees on a street are pruned to
uniform height, and as far as possible
that height is made ten feet, to clear
all street lights.
The campaign against the insects in
Testing shade trees forms one of the
chief tasks of the commission. The
control of the injurious insects not
only preserves the foliage Of the trees
for the season, but maintains their
health and vitality. What can be done
by persistent work in this line is
shown by the results with the woolly
maple scale Pseudococcus aceris),
which attacks the sugar maple. Other
pests are the tussock moths, attacking
the American elm and linden, the
white maple and the horse chestnut;
the cotton maple scale, attacking the
white maple; the elm leaf beetle, the
spring elm caterpillar, the bagworm
and the fall webworm. The idea con-
stantly borne in mind is to destroy the
insects in as early stage as possible,
to minimize both the amount of work
required in treatment and the injury
done to the trees.

saiIad Of Sleepy Bill.


In Sleepyville dwelt Sleepy Bill
Who kept a sleepy store.
A place was it to lounge or sit
And snore and snore and snore,
And sometimes came to play game
OF checkers three or four.
But seldom there a lady fair
A bargain came to buy,
For women's toys in catalogues
Quite often caught the eye.
So things for sale they bought by mail
At prices low or high.
In town one day appeared gay
And lively youth. who quoth:
"Why sit and snore and let your store
Run down? Upon my OATH
Lemme run things and make, by jings,
A fortune for US both!'
Bill said 20. X" and dozed away
But Mr.. Lively sized
Things up at once-he was no Ounce
And went and advertised
Such bargains rare (Bill had 'em there)
The public was surprised.
The buyers came-young girl and dame
And youth and man and child.
There was a rush, real crush
In fact, to put it mild,
AL Sleepyville woke up, until
The rush was almost wild.
And Bill awol1e and even spoke.
He said: I'm feelin' sore.
1 never thought folks would have
fought
To patrOniZe my store
I guess them ads. is poplar fads-
I'll advertise some more."

Where cIothespins Come From.

Where CIothespins Come From.
Tucked away in the northeast corner
of Maine is a good sized town where
the people make their living from
clothespins and pail handles. Some Of
us may have wondered where all the
clothespins come from which are used
by the housewives throughout the coun-
try on wash day. This Maine town
makes more clothespins than any other
place in the world, while the bulk of
the wooden handles which are strung
on the wire bales by which we carry
pals and other receptacles also come
from Bryant Pond. the name Of the
Yankee community.
The first process in the manufacture
of the clothespins or pail handles is to
saw the logs into lengths of about two
and one-half feet each. These lengths
are rapidly split by another saw into
thin slabs, which are in turn converted
into long square strips by gang saws.
Deft hands toss these strips into re-
volving drum, which bears them against
still other saws and turns them out in
the form Of oblong blocks. Falling
upon a moving belt, the blocks are
whirled away to number of lathes.
If the blocks are to become pail ham
dies they are bored in most ingenious
fashion on lathes running at a high
rate of speed If they are destined for
clothespins they are simply turned into
the desired shape
From the lathes a belt conveys the
clothespins to ''slotter," which rapid
~ cuts the slot; the pins emerge with
two symmetrical legs and are swiftly
borne by still third belt to the upper
floor
