APPETITES have
STRENUOUS time

Voracious appethcs and all disin-
carnated, too, have been wandering
around Honolulu and vicinity like
the ghosts of condemned epicures
making up for lost time down be-
low.
appetites was discovered by Captain
Peitsmeier of the german ship Nord-
see, lately much In the public eye.
II was when he spread luxurious
and sybaritic dinner in the cabin OF
the Nordsee and invited several
guests TO eat II that the disincarnat-
ed and invisible gluttons put in an
appearance.
The dinner was of the first order,
although the captain. when telling
his tale of woe in the United States
Marshals Office. did not say whether
II was from the same pantry as the
grub that sent four Of his men to
the hospital.
He was called away from the ship
for short time, about half an hour,
and It was then that the appetites
wandered in and ate everything up.
Captain Peitsmeier was naturally
very wroth, but as no sick appetites
are registered at the hospital, the
dinner probably agreed with them.

HUNTING MEN WITH DOGS.

Various newspapers have recently spok-
on as we thought approving OF the acts of
~constables or others hunting, alleged Grim
inals with dogs.
AS We look at it the hunting OF men with
dogs Is degrading not only to the hunted
but more so to the hunters.
A self respecting Legislator should for
bid the barbarity. Better a thousand times
that a petty criminal should escape than
that the officers Of the law should bedegra-
ded in the eyes OF a righteous and a self
respecting law abiding citizenship,
AS a rule it is only petty criminals who
are hunted with dogs. The big offenders
can give bonds in case they belong to the
influential" or the "prominent' set.
Would it not be better for all OF our law
breakers to move over in the great State
Georgia rather than to enforce their reten
ton by the use OF dogs2

AIS SECOND ASSIGNMENT.
4 Leaf Out of . Newspaper Reporter
EARLY Experience.

"My first assignment" said an old rS-
porter, "was to find out whether some.
body was In town, or something OF that
sort. / know there was nothing to DO
written about it. I got the information
and reported to the city editor. That was
all l had to do that day. For the rest OF
the day / sat around the Office and looked
on with an %infatuation that has never de-
creased. The next day I got my second
assignment. In this there was something
to write about.
"The city editor handed me a narrow
little strip Of white tissue paper out from o
sheet of ship news and containing, In two
lines Of writing, information that two la
borers had been washed overheard from
the barge So-and-so, laden with ore, com
ing up the bay In tow Of the tug So-and'
90. What I was to do was to get the facts
about the occurrence and write them.
"The city editor said that II I would
end the oonsignees Of the barge or the
owner Of the tug I would get on the trace
of the story. The names Of the o%onsignees
were in the two lines Of ship news, and
dimply by looking In the directory I found
their office without the slightest trouble.
There I learned where the cargo was tied
up.. It was at q wharf In Hoboken or
Weehawkep, I don't remember which, and
I made for that. When I turned from the
street down the wharf, there she was, tied
up alongside, her name on the wheelhouse.
She was about half unloaded, and men
we're still at work carrying of the ore.
II was not altogether without expert
ence In life, but I had never done anything
that gave me quite the satisfaction that 1t
did to find that ore barge in my first 40
tual experience as q reporter. The captain
was aboard, and 50 were the surviving
members of the little party Of laborers
who had started up the bay in her, and SO
the whole story was right there. / sat on
the stringpiece Of the wharf and talked
with the captain Of the boat. He told the
story with entire willingness. OF course
there was no reason why he shouldn't, and
then I went back to the Office and wrote
IL up. It was not Q great story. l knew
that. It was like thousands OF stories that
the newspapers are sending after all the
time, Of the manifold daily occurrence OF
life, but I must put 1t together In good
shape, get in all the facts and put the
story In the smallest space.
"In the morning I went out and got q
paper before breakfast. I wanted to read
my story Of the loss Of the men from the
ore barge. I looked the paper over, and,
my gracious, I couldn't find 1t ALL ]
thought they must have left 1t out alto.
gether, but when I came to look the paper
over again I found it-a scant stiokful,
with q single line head.
"But when I came to read 1t over !
found that the facts were all there. They

than mine and had then been set In agate

A Puzzled Author.

The San Francisco Argonaut tells an
amusing story about Alphonse Daudet-
When be brought out "Sappho," an Amer
loan publishing house that issues religtous
books, not knowing Its character, offered
N. Daudet a large sum for advance sheet!
81 the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When the
publishers received them, they decided that
they could not issue the book, and they
cabled to the author, "'Sappho' will not
do This dispatch puzzled Daudet. BE
consulted with numbers Of friends, and
this was the conclusion at which they
eventually arrived: "Sappho' IN French
10 spelled with one "p"-"sapho," after
the Greek fashion. In English It is spelled
with two. An unusually acute friend
pointed this out to Deude*, which much
relieved the novelist, and he oabled baok
to the publishers, "Spell 1t with two p'a."
Il Is needless to state that the publishers
we're moro aGtonished at Daudet's reply
than be had been at their cable dispatch.

Discriminating Against the Automobile.

II an automobile is required to honk'
honk, honk, as it goes around a corner or
passes q deaf man on the side walk, why
should not a Balaam animal be required to
bray when he turns q corner or speeds
along a straight line in passing an automo-
bile? :
On the same principle that governs an
automobile why should not a horse that
exceeds the speed limit be required to
neigh when he passes a pedestrian?
Again, why should not the same horse be
required to whinny when he stops in front
Of q mans house or halts in front OF a
mans place OF business?
We ARE not particularly interested in
this matter, but we do not see why the au-
tomobile Is Disseminated against. We do
not see the necessity OF its constant honk-
ing while q Balaam animal goes about
without giving notice Of his presence.
The noblest animal Of them all, the horse,
should be required to whinny when he
stops a car load Of beauty in front Of any
place where masculine idolartrous men
congregate.

rmportanse Of Regular Living.

ACQUISITION has lately arisen as to the In.
crease or the reverse In nervous diseases.
some arguing that the cause Of the sup.
posed increase in such nervous diseases lies
In the increased demand made by the con.
ditions Of modern life upon the brain. II
Is quite true that the conditions OF life are
very different nowadays from what they
were a few years ago. We now Twain a high
pressure age, and In n OF keen ccmpetl-
ton, when greater effort is needed In every
branch of life to attain a successful posi-
ton, when the brain Ia always working
and there is constant tension. Such con-
ditions, 1t will be perfectly obvious to all,
are not favorable to a diminution OF nery-
GUS diseases, but rather the reverse. At
the Same time, It cannot be denied that
the comforts Of life have increased. We
have better sanitation, cleaner houses and
fresher air. .
There can be no question that men OF
regular habits are healthier, happier, live
longer and do more than those who obey
caprice and impulse. The adoption OF
hyeienio habits saves the nervous system
an enormous amount Of friction and waste.
It preserves vitality. Regularity econo'
mixes not only physical stamina, but time
AZ we'll. The man who knows no system
In the details Of bis life, who exhausts ma
ture at the instance Of q passing whim,
who drinks and smokes to excess, who
wastes the talents bestowed upon him, II
the one who must sooner or later fall a VIC.
tim to disease. Regularity and modera.
ton In all things should be the motto Of
life, and It should be remembered that
regularity does not necessarily preclude the
enjoyment Of variety. A certain amount
Of variety prevents man from becoming a
mere machine, but variety should not In
terfere with those regular habits OF life
which are necessary to the maintenance OF

Is il Peace!
(COntributed)

Do the records Of the daily press indi-
cate that the country and the State OF
South Carolina especially, Is in a condition
Of peace? If people Of the city Of Manila,
were to see our daily newspapers, 1t is
possible that they would want to send
missionaries to this country.
II our good and pious people would
preach the gospel Of peace and good will to
our W people, instead Of trying to pros
elyte Catholics by weak brethren singing
psalms, they might do some good. We do
not know II our missionaries do all the
singing in Mexico for the delectation OF
Catholics. The Catholic service is a con-
gregational worship in which all the peo-
pie may participate, The idea OF prosely-
ting q people who are accustomed to con-
gregational worship to a form where
the people take no part In the worship,
but must sit with open mouths to swallow
all that may he thrown in Is too prepos-
ferrous to excite respectful consideration
by thoughtful people.

Fine PeoDle In 1850.

My lady was as reckless as my lord and
ratified the dicebox and shuffied the cards
from dusk till morning, going horne with
ruined fortunes in her sedan chair when
workmen were going home from lathe and
loom to breakfast. Family diamonds and
Jewels and plate were staked when the
guineas were exhausted, and when these
possessions had gone farms and estates
were sacrificed. The amusements, too, OF
wealthy people were Of o coarse and cruel
description. Rat worrying, cockfghtdng
and badger batting were favorite diver
sions. Prizefghting was regarded as e.
sential to keep up the courage Of English

no such thing as freedom Of the press n

something unfriendly to the government
1t is suppressed and the editor is sent to

the Japanese call o dummy editor and IL
10 hts soils duty to go to jail every time tho
paper is suppressed for offending the

PELLEGRA AND CORN.
DR.. WoodIey's Views in Accord With
Tendency Of Present Thought Upon
The Subject.
Knoxville Sentinel.

The dread new disease which first made
its appearance in the South several years
ago, has invaded several parts of the
North. Fifty cases are now under treat
mcnt in Peoria. Ill. 1t has probably eX-
listed undecided in the North many years.
DR.. Lavinder of the United States marine
hospital service, has proved that pellegra
caused the death OF two patents who were
supposed to have been Scalded to death in
the B~artonvillc, Illinois. insane asylum in
1904 and 1907. They died in bath tubs and
their bodies looked like they had been
boiled and the nurse who was in charge of
the last case was dismissed for supposed
criminal curelessneSs. DR.. Lavindar says
the appearance of being boiled alive is tv-
pical OF the disease of pellcgra and that
death in the bath tubs was a mere coinci
dence. The result is that the nurse has
been reinstated. DR.. Lavinder found forty
cases in this asylum on his arrival there.
Referring to the theory that musty corn
causes pellegra, we expressed the belief
some time ago that the spread OF the dis
ease was due to the use of carelessly select
ed corn ground by steam rolling mills i'll
stead of the coarse GrOund corn meal of
water mills of the South. The view has
been growing in strength. Dr.. William L.
Woodley, of Charlotte, y. c., has written
The Observer Oh this subject. He blames
the use on Snock cured corn which. he
is not given time enough to dry thorough
" before it is husky and marketed. He
saws that sixty days longer should be al
lowed to corn in the shock than to O
standing in the field. The season in the
North is much shorter than in the South
and the farmers push their work so as To
get through with cleaning their fields be-
fore winter. DR.. Woodley proposes there
fore. that mills be required to Use only
cUrn that has been cured under supcrvis-
ion. Corn for the table should be cured
without stripping the fodder in order to
give tho ears all the nutriment possible.
The amount of corn ground for human
food is small compared with the total
grown and it would be no great hardship
to require the mills to be careful i'm select
Jug it.
Corn has been the staple food of the
South too long to allow any room for con.
demning it wholesale as has been done by
hastv thinkers. But it was homegrown
corn that was eaten and home ground toe
until a few years ago when the markets
of the South We're invatcd by the products
OF the steam rolling mill. The house,
keepers who insist on getting the coarse
meal of the local mill will probably max,
no mistake and may rest assured that
they are eating one of the finest fond-stufr,
given by God. In the meantime there is
no subject more urgent for the attention
of the pure food experts than the corr
meal on the market.
