Cement Buildings.

The use of cement is now hrmE

bIo2k-forming machines on the mai
ket and up to short TINE age
these machines were limited to tne
formation of blocks OF different
kinds. The variety Of design mas
been limited to the imitation Of u
different kinds Of stone commoM!t
used in architecture. The different
cuts, shapes and finishes followed
but recently there has been demand
tor something more than this. am
one or, two firms have undertaken
to produce moulds for the forma-
ton Of pillars, caps, Ea'uSter posts
and similar designs. These moIds
are now to be had by those engaging
in the business of making cement
blocks, and with their use. it is
possible to construct building oil
.ery pleasing lines. Heretofore this
has been rather difficult with the
limitations of the square block, al
though some architects have secured
some very interesting effects by the
exercise of some ingenuity In the
construction of such block shapes AS

A Little Bear Story.

During a long journey OF 1oOU
miles down the Yukon River, nlaLe
with a single companion in a !i.,ht
Peterborough canoe, Mr.. GtlhJre
examined a great many gravel e. IS
ures; usually cut banks on the iu-

it. On the MOI River, a Atream rum
ming into the Yukon from the south.
n vertical bank was observed pierced
by q number of holes. For q little
distance above the shelf appeared
larger noles. and an examination OF
the locality showed that little bear
-as shown by the footprints and
clavmarks-hai walked along the
shelf and enlarged all the swallows
nests that he could reach and drag
ged out from them young and eggs,
which he had of course devourej.

concentration found in the stomach
OF the European crawfish. Most OF
the genuine eye stones, crabs eyes,
crabstones or lapilli cancrorum, are
procured in the province OF Astrak-
han in European Russia.
There appears to be some confus-.
ion regarding the nature OF the eye
stone, for some authorities speak Of
it as a concentration in the stomach
OF certain crab and others as of a
peculiar shell formation which is
separated from the crab at the time
it sheds its she'll.
The so-called crabs eyes are found
fully developed at the end of the
summer, as the crabs begin to shed
their shells. 1t is noted that these
concentrations are absorbed into the
stomach Of the crab during the she'd
ding season and there pulverized and
absorbed, the dissolved calcareous
substance being used, it is supposed,
for the formation of new shell.
When these calcareous shells are not
normally developed and absorbed is
is observed that the shedding process
is interrupted and the crab dies an
early death.

JUST WARMING UP.

A man who had lived in the Philip

life in the North promised to develop

''The old fellow hadn t dwelt long

"The family prepared to dispose of

to his relatives to see that his remains
were cremated when he should come

So they carried his body off to the

HORSE MEAT IN BELGIUM.

Consul General Ethelbert Watts, in
writing from Brussels that horse meat
is very largely used in Belgium as
human food, gives the following de-
tails:
Statistics show that the importation
of horses for that purpose is increasing
annually, the inportations in 1904 hav-
ing been 20,218 head; in 1905, 22,284
head, and in 1906, 26,294 head, the
greater part Of which was from Eng
land.
There are two recognized abattoirs
for Brussels and suburbs, namely, the
Anderlecht -Cureghem slaughter house
"a private eorporation], and the City
of Brussels slaughter house (munici-
pal). The former butchers 2,798 to p
$50 and the latter about 1000 to l.
500 horses annually. This large con-
sumption of horse meat is due to the
high charges for other meats in this
city.
There are about thirty-six butchers

NEXT BY TELEPHONE.

What do you think of barber chop
where from opening until closing lime
the barber always has f'next" ready
to step into the chair, and where
"next" never has to wait his turn, but
always reaches the shop just in time
to be served7
There is at least one shop of this
kind in Chicago. 1t is one of the up
to-date feaalres of big West Side
plant and is for the convenience of
the firm s officials and heads of depart
ments.
The barber shop opens the same time
as the other departments of the house
and closes when they do, and from
opening until closing time customer
always is being served. No waiting
on the part of the customer and no
idle time for the barber, unless he
wishes to "take it easy" for awhile.
The customers get frst-class service for
the usual prices charged for such, and
the barber keeps all the money he
takes in. The shop is equipped in the
best style and the barber and porter
are in the happy position of being able
to regulate, absolutely, the amount of
business they will do each day.
When the customer in the chair is
about finished the porter telephones to
another, who usually comes from his
department at once, or if he is not able
to get away just then, or is not de-
sirous of having any work done that
day, the porter simply telephones to
someone else. Getting customers is the
least of his troubles.
The privilege is not lightly valued
by any who enjoys it, and, as a rule.
the first official act of a young man
promoted to the management of any
department is to go to the cashier g
Office and buy a barber-shop ticket,
These tickets are numbered consecu-
lively, and at the end of half year
the barber is paid the difference be-
tween the total of the stated monthly
sums which he draws regularly and the
total sale of tickets for the six months.
The firm pays all the incidental ex-
penses of the shop.-Chicago Tribune.

The Good Old Times In
King Kalakaua's Reign
Twenty Two Years Ago in Honolulu and
What the Correspondents Found to Write
About---The Sovereign's Birthday.

by the courtesy of Herman Dinklage
the Advertiser is able to reproduce the
following newsletter from Honolulu
under date of Nov. %, 1886.
HONOLULU, Nov. %, 1ss6.-The
most prominent local event here recent
~ has been the celebration of hls
Majesty's fftieth birthday on Nov
ember 10th. The festivities in connec.
ton Herewith are to extend over
fortnight, and they were inaugurated
by a grand reception at Iolani Palace.
The King was the recipient of innumer.
able gifts, consisting of a general line
OF goods, sufficient in quantity to stock
good-siZe" fancy store; and cattle.
sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, sugar cane,
sweet potatoes, poi and tare in guam
titles that would stock a large Cali
fornia ranch. Bnt the strangest pres
ents of all were in gold and silver coin.
The amounts presented varied from
$1,000, in twenty dollar gold pieces, to
a postal savings-bank book, containing
a receipt for $3.50, from His Majesty's
Guard. Either his Guard must be
limited in number, or their royal enthu-
siasm had not been heated up to that
desirable pitch that leads one to part
with the almighty dollar. The Police
Department was more liberal, and con.
tributed a reeeipted bank book for
S57G in gold. This money-giving
system on a birthday smaeks somewhat
OF poll tax levied on subordinate Of
feials, and is rather derogatory to His
Majesty as the recipient There is one
thing to be said, it will be in good
hands for spending, and it is bound to
circulate.

This may seem a funny combination,
bus they fit in together. The announce
meRt was made that native named
Rosa had been appointed Attorney.
General. This completes the Cabinet,
which now consists of three native
Hawaiians and Mr.. Gibson. The unfit
ness Of Mr.. Rosa for the position of At
tOrney General Is unanimously coneed-
ed. He was formerly a clerk in the
Office, and it is true that he has passed
his legal examinations, but he has had
little or no experience, and the legal
affairs of any country with pretensionS
of S.ate should not be entrusted to one
who is so IMMERSED in law. There is
one thing certain. he win do as he is
told, and be plant tool in the hands
OF the wire-pullers. On the same day
it was announced that his Majesty had
pardOned and released from jail some
fifty prisoners. Among them were some
murderers, who Were pardoned on con-
dition that they left the country. con-
sequently 1T is safe to anticipate an
addition to San Francisco criminal
colony, which is already quite large
