FATHER CONRARDY WILL
SEND CURE FOR LEPROSY

The Chinese government allows two
and a half cents a day for the sup
port of each leper in the settlements
established by them, this amounting to
$9.121a a year for food, clothing and
2uxuries! Such is the information
afforded in a letter received by the
HOLSTER Drug Company in the last
mail from the Orient from DR.. L. L.
Conrardy, resident physician in the
mission to the lepers at Canton, China.
The writer. who is very well known
here, having been at one time on Mo-
lokai, gives an interesting comparison
of the life in the settlement here and
that in the settlement in which he is
laboring in Canton. He offers, also, to
send remedy obtained in Korea, said
to be of use, should the Board of
Health desire to use it. His letter, in
part. is:
s'Today I am in China among the
lepers-Molokai for them is now a
paradise, bat here it is yet hell, like
in former years on Molokai.
ssTruly, I have always admired and
still do, what the Board of Health
of Honolulu with the financial help OF
the citizen has done and is still doing
for the unfortunates lepers of the Ha-
waiian Islands IF only one-quarter of
it was done for the Chinese or Japa-
nese 1epers by their respective govern
ments, it would be a matter OF reJo1e-
ing for poor suffering humanity and

ALAMEDA IN TODAY.

With a fair list of passengers and
considerable freight, the good old fer
ryboat Alameda is due to arrive this
morning at seven o'clock according to
a wireless from her yesterday morning
The Alameda has over four hundred
bags of mail for Honolulu. That the

people who are arriving on the Alameda.
She is usually pretty full, it being un-
usual when she has less than eighty
passengers on board as on this trip
For the next three months Honolulu
may expect the greater part of the
steamers passing through and coming
here to have considerable unoccupIed
passenger space. On the return trip
of the Alameda. however, she will have
every bit of space filed. There are
nearly one hundred and twenty people
booked for the voyage.

journment of the Senate, and his as
sistant, Henry Hapai, is now in legal
charge of the Treasury Department.
It is generally believed in official cir
cles that Governor Frear will not ap-
point Treasurer Immediately but
will allow the department to continue
under the direction of Hapai for sew
eral weeks at least.
Position of Pratt.
1t is understood that the failure Of
Governor F'rear to send the name of
Land Commissioner Pratt to the Sem
ate. as Treasurer, was something of
surprise to that official Pratt was
favorably regarded for the place by
several Senator's, and 1t was believed
that there would be no opposition to
his appointment if his name was sub
mitted by the Governor.
Because of the consolidation of the
Department of Public Works, the De-
partment of Public Lands and the
Survey Department, no action was
taken by the Senate on the appoint
nents of Commissioner Pratt and Sur
veyor Wall. and because of that fact
the commissions of those two officials
expired with the adjournment of the
Legislature and they are in the curious
position of being without legal title to
the offices which they will hold until
July 1, the beginning of the next BIZ
ennia1 period when the consolidation
scheme will go into effect. There is a
great deal OF work pending in both
departments, and the two officials will
continue with their duties, in accord
ance with the wishes expressed by
Governor Frear.
Has Large Powers.
Under the consolidation of the
three departments named the supreme
head, who will bear the sonorous title
of Superintendent of Public Works,
Lands and Survey" will be vested
with a great amount of executive
power, which will even extend to the
fixing of the salaries of all employees,
from the chiefs of each bureau down
to the messengers. The only itemized
appropriation under the consolidated
departments is that of $4,000 for the
superintendent. The remaining amount
of s90,2S0 is inclusive for engineers.

distribution of the appropriation of
$90,2S0 will be left entirely to the dis
erection of the head of the depart
ment who can fix the salaries of the
employees at any figure he thinks fit.
When the consolidation scheme was
under discussion in the Senate, Chair
man Fairchild of the Ways and Means
Committee explained that a great deal
of discretionary power would have to
be left to the head of the depart
ment, because a new system was be-
ing put into operation and it would
be impossible to segregate the appro-
priation intelligently.

FANCY POULTRY BUSINESS.
Keeping of Pure Bred Poultry Has
Passed Beyond the Expert
mental Stage.

The fancy poultry business is not
an experiment, but has come to stay.
Poultry shows are the very life of the
poultry business. They keep pure
bred poultry before the public and in
terest the many people who are deal
ing in pure bred poultry. There are
thousands of farmers who have never
seen a poultry show, and a great
many who are not posted on pure
bred chickens at all, says the Kansas
Farmer. Thousands of farmers do
not know that there are numerous
papers that are devoted exclusively
to pure bred poultry.
Everyone who is interested in poul-
try should attend some poultry show
this winter and, if possible, show
some of their pure bred fowls. The
poultry show is the very best school
to learn all about the standard re-
ouirements of the different fowls. To
read all about poultry is one thing,
but to see it is another. You can
learn more in a poultry show in one
day than you can by reading month.
A great many farmers have gotten
their first impetus in the raising of
pure bred poultry from visiting the
poultry shows.

BEAUTY PATCH BACK AGAIN.
Restored to Favor in France anu
England, But Not Yet Popular
in America.

The beauty patch has crept back
into favor. 1t is not uncommon 10
see bright eyes enhanced with fetch
ing patch of court plaster, or attention
called to the alluring dimple by an
other bit of black.
French and English women have
been sporting the patch all winter
but our beauties are slower to take 1t
up, possibly because their looks need
less enhancing.
Fortunately, as yet the beauty patch
is confined to tiny diamonds and cres-
cents and but one or two to a face.
It is to be hoped the time is far dis
tant when the modern belle seeks to
rival her great-great-gran who
used to plaster herself with all sorts
of monstrosities cut from court plas-
ter
One fair marquise of the court of
the Grand Monarque appeared on one
occasion with a coach and four at the
corner of one eye and a knight in full
regalia to emphasize the dimple in her
chin.
There is an art in putting on a
beauty patch, and the girl who thinks
to make herself lovelier by sticking
on a bit of a court plaster at random
has need of course of experiments
before a triple mirror.

FEEDING BEES IN THE SPRING
Greatest Secret of Successful Bee
keeping Is to Keep the Colo
MES Strong.

The greatest secret about beekeep-
ing is to keep your colonies strong.
Watch them in the spring, and do not
let them die for want of little at
tention. Sometimes you can help
dwindIing colony by taking them in
time and giving them a little assist
ance from other colonies. If some of
the colonies are light in bees they
may be strengthened by occasionally
giving a frame Matching brood from
some strong colony which will suf-
fer no injury from the loss of it. But
this, even, must be done cautiously,
and no old bees carried from one hive
to another, as that is one of the
easiest ways to start robbing.
To get all colonies in this prime
condition, the bee-keeper most years
will be forced to resort to feeding. 1t
pays at any time to feed bees to keep
them from starving and it pays bet
ter to keep them in good condition.
The colony that goes through the sea-
son in poor condition will more than
likely prove failure, so far as gath
ering honey is concerned.
All colonies should be fed separate
ly by the use of feeders or some
method suitable for feeding within
the hive.

DAINTY TOUCH TO UNDERWEAR
Hand-Embroidery the Best Possible
Finish for the Lingerie of the
Small Maiden.

There is no better way to finish the
little girls underwear than the edge
of dainty hand-embroidery after the
French. 1t may be but the narrowest
possible scallop or the tiniest vine or
forget-me-not dotted on at intervals. 1t
may be done in eyelet or seed or solid
stitch, but embroidery it should be
for wear with the best little gowns.
The drawers and the neck armholes
of the small underwaist should be fin
ished the same way. There is a GER
tain other dainty finish for these little
nainsook garments-narrow valen-
ciennes lace-that is irreproachable.
but the flannel petticoat should always
be embroidered.
1t Is never an evidence of good taste
to over6ecorate the underwear of lit
tie children-or of big children, either

sible, and when good laces are not
available, there remains the alterna-
tive of the snch-and-a-half hem topped

Look out for the TURKEYS.

Those of us who have saved turkey
hens to raise for this summer must be-
gin to give them a little more care
now than we did in the winter.
In the first place they may be slight
" run down." as we call it, and need
a change of feed, or have an acute
attack of cold, sometimes mistaken for
roup. In this case the affected ones
should be penned in warm, comfort
able place, and their heads and necks
creased with warm lard and turpen-
tine. care being taken not to have too
much turpentine.
When they are cured and ready to
turn out they will be real tame, which
is so nice about nesting time. If we
go out where they are every day, with
a little corn of any kind of food for
them now, and continue to do so, they
will lay near the house, probably in
the hens nests, or what they like bet
ter still, an old barrel, with a little
chaffy straw in it.

The Wonderful American Hen.

The cackles of the American hens
are swelling into mighty chorus. Six
teen billion times year these small
citizens announce the arrival of a
fresh laid" and the sound of their
Dragging is waxing loud in the land.
According to the last census there
are 233, ,005 chickens of laying age
in the United States. These are val
ued at $7O,O0O,0O0, and the eggs they
lay, would, if divided, allow 2O3 eggs
annually for every person-man, wom-
an and child-in the United States.
The value of all the fowls, $S5,S00, 900,
would entitle every person in the coun-
try to SIP if they were sold and the
proceeds divided. All the weight Of
the animal products exported, the pork,
beef, tallow. ham, bacon and sausage
weigh SAC, $50 tons, while the weight of
the eggs laid yearly tips the scales at

Plant Sweet Glover for Bees.

Sweet clover seed for bees to work
on may be sown at almost any season.
1t may be sown separately or with
other crops. Many SOW it with oats
in the spring.
Being a perennial plant. not much
blossoming can be expected from
sweet clover the first season. How
ever, if it is planted by itself in very
rich and well-prepared soil. it will
blossom some in the fall of the first
year. If early blooming is desired, We
would advise planting it in rows in
rich soil and cultivate the first sea-
son. After it gets a good start it will
need no cultivation.

ton in order to get a job that will
wear and give thorough satisfaction.

Useful House for Fowls.

The house is foored and the colony
houses are built on runners so they
may be easily moved from place to
place. They are shingled on the sides
and roof and contain a door and one
window. They should be fitted with
one or two roosts placed six inches
above roosting platform, which
should be four feet from the floor
This will bring the fowls above the
level of the opening and out of the
drafts.
In cold climates a muslin curtain
may be provided to pull down in front
Of the fowls at night, and if desired,
another curtain to close up the open

accommodate from 80 to so fowls and
the smaller house a breeding pen OF
10 to 20.

Silk and Wool Gowns,

Soft and supple and silken are the
new fabrics, almost as infinite in
variety of weaves as tint, that are be-
ing made up into afternoon reception
gowns and evening demi-toilettes for
spring and early summer wear. Many
of these costumes have been ordered
for the large weddings which always
are a marked social feature of that
season. In the pale grays and tans,
as we'll as in the rich, deep fruit
shades are seen some stunning high
necked and long-sleeved reception
gowns which answer equally well for
daytime and evening affairs. Many of
these are of cashmere de sole, satin
and eolienne, but faille is destined to
have a tremendous vogue, and justly
so, as it wears indefinitely and is so
well adapted to the present mode of
draped and clinging effects.

The Bow in the Back.

This trimming across the back of
the hat is a feature of French mil
linery for spring. Some of the smart
est high-crowned models have no
further trimming than this band and
bow of wide ribbon or velvet, except
for a rose or caboc11on cluster of small
flowers at one side of the front. These
bows at the back, be it understood, do
not droop over the hair, but are rather
stiff and conventional, with crisp loops
standing out at the sides.
Sometimes the band which encir-
cles the crown is of very wide ribbon
shirred to a stiff foundation of crino-
line, and along the upper and lower
edges of the ribbon is an edge of tiny
flowers, like forget-me-nots or arbutus
blossoms. The wide ribbon is tied
simply in the regulation bow across
the back of the crown.

SEPARATE THE YOUNG STOCK
Old Hens Interfere with the Proper
Development of the Young
Pulets.

Do not put the young stock in with
the old The old hens will use force
and keep the pullets waiting to eat,
and away from choice bits; the pullets
get into "a nervous way Of eating what
is left, and can't thrive, and old hens
can spend energy on better things.
Fowls should be nervous enough TO
want exercise, but fear gets them over
nervous. Fear should be banished
from the runs. The colonies should
be made up as soon as one can judge
OF fowls merits, as young chicks
rarely quarrel, and after being made
up, if one fowl is chased at eating
time, and not allowed a choice, it is
because she is a weaker bird. She
should be taken out for a run of weak
er birds. If an old hen gets sick, the
other hens pick her feathers and drive
her; she will get strong much faster
by being taken out by herself. When
she goes back, she will be tackled, and
fight must ensue, by which she can
show Valor. 1t is hens nature to
study precedence and fight for it, and
fighting is against eggmaking.
Fowls of equal attainments should
be put in the same colonies early as
possible, and peace will reign and
make for eggs. With the ounce of pre-
Vention always at hand, the runs and
pens being kept always clean,
and the young chicks properly fed,
there need be no sick fowls for hos
pitfalls. The young stock needs look
ing after closely. If fowl does not
respond to the feeding Of the average
fowl, she is either above or below
average, and geenrally below. The
few extra good specimens should go
to the spring breeding pen, the pull
let's to the oldest sire and the cockerels
to the old hens. The pullets below
average may lay market eggs, and if
kept for that, should be in pen never
visited by a male. BY so doing, no.
body can breed market eggs from poor
hens. The hens lay just as well with
no sire taking up their attention, and
the eggs keep longer in the market.
Only the first few years of starting
does it pay to keep these below aver
age pullets. We sell off the cockerels
that are below the average and also
the average ones, keeping only the few
above average.
When studying ones fowls, he
should not constitute himself Judge.
He should get out his copy of the
Standard of Excellence and study the
breed of his choice, described minute
ly in it, and endeavor to Gull accord

For Foot Comfort.

A well-known chiropodist has given
this hint for shoe comfort: Never
wear a shoe that will not permit the
great toe to lie in a straight line.'
Cramping the toes not only gives
corns and bunions, but so affects the
feet that general misery follows.
Never let vanity force you into a
shoe too small; the penalty is too
steep. 1t seemed that this particular
form of Stiffness was disappearing, but
the recent action of shoe manufac-
turers insisting on the correct number
being placed in shoes, whether women
liked it or not, looks as if common
sense in footgear still bore cultivating

FROM THE POULTRY YARD.

For worms in chickens one woman
says she has found nothing better
than sulphuric acid in the drinking
water.
The reason the wild turkey retains
its health and vigor, it is said, is be-
cause they kill off the weak and sickly
ones. If they find a weak turkey that
cannot keep up they Immediately
pounce upon it and destroy it, so that
snere are no inferior or weak ones to
breed from, and the flock remains
strong and vigorous. This is a lesson
for us from Mother Nature.
