Truth and

walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,

on which it acts without any facilitating

the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component

The Kiss of Judas.

This paper has referred several
times in this column to the excellence
of a Pathe picture, 'sThe Assassination
of the Duke de Guise,'' shown at a
local house It was excellent in every
respect. There is series of subjects
of this character and the last is to be
shown at the Park Theater, Fort street
below Beretania, tonight. 1t is known
as the "Kiss of Judas" and is great.
In the form of a play it was produced
by company of actors of national
repute and caught by the camera man.
A couple of comedies will bring tears
of laughter to the eyes of the audience
and George Milne will delight its hear
ers in the illustrated song, "By the
River Shannon. :" The MeInotte Sis

The patrons of the Art Theater will
find in the picture serial entitled,
fThe Rude Hostess - chosen for the
feature of today's change of program,
an exceedingly clever story and, incl
dentaHy, an illustration of how smart

of the sterner sex. This film is manu-
featured by the American Biograph
Company, and if You pay proper atten-
ton, you will find that it will keep
your mind so thoroughly engrossed
that you win think that you are lost
in the perusal of some good work of
fiction. The various incidents are SO
| absolutely realistic that they seem
part of your own personal experience
The plot is not a complicated one, but
| nevertheless entertaining, and the act
| ing perfection itself. You will make
no mistake by visiting the Art Theatel

Skaters Who Skate.

The order preserved at the skating
rink is to be compared to that main
tanned at the first rink opened in Wash
ington, D. c., many years ago. AT the
Princess the manager takes a position
in the center of the floor and keeps
a weather eye on those who have on
skates. The first time there is any
searching noticed the offender is tap
ped on the shoulder and reminded that
it will not be tolerated and if he per-
sists he is escorted to the door and
told never to come back. In this way
the place is safe for children and lady
learners. There is an absolute absence
of hoodlums while some of the best
people in the city are almost regular
attendants. The attraction is, of
course, Miss Wiener, whose fancy
skating is so much admired that her
name is familiar one in every home.
Her grace on wheels is a revelation;
the order maintained at the Princess
through its management is an in
novation. 1t has been proven that
rink in Honolulu may be as orderly
an institution as the one in Washington
more than quarter of century ago.

Attitude Toward Death.

The normal attitude of men toward
death seems to be one of inattention
or evasion. They do not trouble about
It; they do not want to trouble about
1t, and they resent its being called to
their notice. On this point the late
Frederick Myers used TO tell a story
which ! have always thought very H.
Illuminating In conversation after
dinner he was pressing on his host the
unwelcome question, what he thought
would happen after death. After many
evasions and much recalcitrancy the
reluctant admission was extorted: "Of
course, If you press me, believe that
we shall all enter into eternal bliss;
but | wish you wouldn't talk about
such disagreeable subjects This,
believe. is typical of the normal mood
of most men. They don't want to be
worried and though probably. II the
question were pressed. they would OBJ
1ect to the idea of extinction, they
can hardly be said to desire immor
tality. Even at the point OF death. It
would seem, this attitude is often

get a water spout.
In other words, the mating of
animals from the same breed, provid-
ing the relationship is not too close,
will as a rule be far more successful
than the mating of distinct breeds and
types. Cross-breeding brings in many
cases of increased vigor and is some
times a useful method for producing
animals for the block or work. How
ever it necessitates the retaining of
breeding animals of two different
breeds which is often more expensive
than combining the attention to one
breed. 1t also leads to a desire to re-
tain a particularly promising cross
bred animal as a sire. By the laws
of breeding all Improvement stops at
this point. The cross bred sire car
ries with him the possibility of trans
hitting the characters of either one
of the two or more different blood
lines with which he is endowed. He
also carries the strong probability of
producing by active transmission the
unimproved form from which all i'm
proved types are descended.
For the farmer the best system Is
grading or the mating OF common
or comparatively unimproved parent
with one of pure descent. Grading IS
a cheap and rapid means of herd i'm
provement. The pure bred sire IS
nearly always prepotent over grades
and rapidly brings his offspring to his
standard. The bulk of the best cattle
in our markets are high grade Here
ford. Shorthorn or Angus. The
champion car load at the last Inter
national was a car load of high grade
Angus from the Funk Brothers farms
The champions of the recent Western
Stock Show were high grade Here
fords. The horse stock of some or
the Mississippi valley states is being
rapidly brought to high grade, and for
work and city market practically as
profitable as pure breds, by mating
the common mares and then their sue
cessive progeny TO pure bred stalllons

grading is a good way to begin me
foundation stock will be comparatively
inexpensive. 1t is also safe and con-
servatiye system. 1t brings out strong
and clear in the grades the important
breed characters of the pure bred male
line and few generations OF grades
from low 20 high will spread out be-
fore the breeder pleasant picture or
cbaract ers such as he could never see
in starting under financial difficulties
with a small but expensive bunch OF
pure breds. Experience in handling
grades and practical experience IN
making gradual change from
scrubs" to very high grades will
make it seem all the more desirable
to breed the very best and will make
it an easy proposition to change from
high grades to pure breds.
