MAUNDY THURSDAY

H HE Thursday before Easter in
some old almanaes is called Shere
"A Thursday. An old homily tells us
that the people used to shear their
herds and clip their boards to make
themselves fine against Easter day. We
know it best as Holy Thursday, or
Maunday Thursday. The word is said
to be a corruption of mandate mean
ing commandment, in allusion TO the
commandment which the Savior gave
on the day after washing the apostles
feet, that we should love one another.
1t has been said to come from
maunds,' meaning gifts or charity, as
Christians were In the habit of giving
each other gifts on this day in token
os affection. But this is not likely.
1t was formerly the custom in Eng
land. in commemoration of the Savior's
act, for the king to wash the feet of
as many poor as his majesty was
years old. King James IL was the last
English king to perform this ceremony,
though 1t is still known as poor peo-
ple's Thursday, and as late as Vic
torias time the sovereign gave literally
to the poor on that day.
Queen Elizabeth when 80 years of
age washed the feet of thirty-nine
poor. During the ceremony her majes-
ty was attended by ladies-in-waiting
and gentlemen. The feet were first
washed by the yeomen of the laundry,
with warm water and sweet herbs.
They were again washed by the queens
sub-almoner, and lastly by the queen,
who first made the sign of the cross
on the insteps, then kissed them. This
ceremony took place in the royal pal
ace at Greenwich.
Cardinal Wolsey also performed this
office in 1880 for fifty-nine poor men.
This custom is still observed in Austria.
or was until a few years ago.

PALM SUNDAY

H HIS day in the progress of Lent
is known as Palm Sunday 1t is
4 the Sunday preceding Easter and
commentaries our Lords triumphal
entry into Jerusalem, accompanied by
the multitudes who greeted him with
hosannas, waving palm branches and
scattering them before him.
The palm tree was common in Judea
and planted no doubt everywhere by
the wayside. The palm noteth victory
and all Christian people recognize that
Christ was victorious over the enemy.
The supreme thought of Palm Sunday
is Christ is King
Palm Sunday was observed in the
far east as early as the fifth century,
but as observed in the Greek and Ro-
man Catholic churches, it dates from
the tenth century
1t is observed by Roman and Angli-
can churches all over the world, though
nowhere so elaborately celebrated as at
st. Peters in Rome. The pope, splen-
didly arrayed, is brought into the
church, borne aloft on the shoulders
of eight men. His whole court is pres
ent and the priests bring him palm
branches, upon which he invokes a
blessing There is a procession and
the ceremonies of the day begin ana
close with high mass. Those who at
tend the ceremony are granted thirty
years indulgence. Each one takes
away his palm branch, which he sup
poses to be a charm against disease,
and some people keep the branch to
be burned to ashes on the next Ash
Wednesday.

ABOUT PINEAPPLES

The lines of the pineapple plant are
as beautiful as its color; the long gray
green leaves sweep away from the CEN
ter of the plant in perfect arcs, MAX
ing beautiful forms wherever the eye
can reach.
The pineapple blossom does not
amount to much in size, but it is of
a pretty purplish blue and its appear
ance on the plant is interesting TO
watch. The pineapple is a composite
fruit. each one of the little geometri-
cal divisions surrounding an eye, rep
resenting a unit of its structure. The
first sign of the formation of a fruit
is the appearance of a tiny Grown"
which develops slowly into a minia-
ture of the matured pineapple; the
blue blossoms come out, a tiny flower
at each "eye," while the fruit Is still
small, disappearing long before it has
attained its full size.
Probably quite contrary to popular
belief, a field of pineapples is a beau
tiful sight. Artists have painted the
cabbage fields of Holland for their pc
culiar grayish bloom Any artist with
a love for beautiful tints would be de-
lighted with a pineapple plantation.

BISCUITS AND ROLLS

T HE secret of biscuit making is
precision and dispatch. Some
Il cooks brag that they throw their
biscuits together, which may do for ex-
perienced cooks, but it is wise to meas
ure the ingredients; have all the in
gradients ready, then handle as quick
ly as possible. To have good biscuit
the oven must be hot enough to begin
baking before the efferVescent quail
ties of the soda or the baking powder
are exhausted.
Baking Powder Biscuit
Two cups of flour, two and a half
teaspoons baking powder, half tea
spoon lard. Mix and sift the dry in
gradients. Work in the shortening and
pour gradually the liquid (about a cup
of milk or water), mixing with knife to
a soft dough. Turn out on board and
roll out lightly or pat out with the
fingers to one-half inch thick. Bake
in hot oven; If baked in a warm oven
the gas of the baking powder will es-
cape before it has raised the biscuits.
Raised Biscuit
Two quarts of flour, two tablespoons
sugar, pinch of salt, one quart of warm
milk into which two tablespoons of
lard or butter and a cake of yeast have
been stirred. Mix to a thin batter.
Let stand overnight. Knead twice in
the morning. Cut into biscuits, let rise
and bake.
Sour Milk Biscuit
One pint of sour milk or cream, one
teaspoon of soda, pinch of salt. II
sour cream is used no shortening is
necessary, but with milk rub a table,
spoon of butter into the flour. Mix as
soft as possible, roll out and cut rath-
er thin. Bake at once in hot oven.
Parker House Rolls
One teacup yeast, a pinch of salt,
one tablespoon of sugar, three table
spoons butter or piece of lard size of
an egg, one pint of sweet milk, flour
sufficient to mix. Scald milk with
shortening in it. Prepare flour with
salt, sugar and yeast, then add milk,
not too hot. Knead thoroughly. When
mixed at night it needs but slight
kneading in the morning. Roll out and
cut with biscuit cutter. Spread lit
tie butter on one-half of each roll and
lap together. Place one inch apart,
let rise very light and bake in quick
oven.
Mullins
One egg, one cup milk, one table,
spoon of melted butter, two table
spoons sugar two cups flour, two and
a half teaspoons baking powder salt

HOT CROSS BUNS

N HE Good Friday bun is supposed
to be derived from the sacred
II cakes which were offered at the
temples. The offerings of the people in
ancient times were generally purchased
at the entrance of the temples, especial
ly the consecrated bread. One species
of bread which was offered was Of
great antiquity and called Born" The
chief ingredients of a "bun" were fine
flour and honey, and it was shaped
to resemble a cross. The prophet
jeremiah observes this offering of
sweet buns, when in speaking of the
Jewish women at Pathros in Egypt,
and of their idolatry, the women, in
dignant at the rebuke, say: did we
make her cakes to worship her" We
have retained only the name and form
of the bun; the sacred uses are done
away with long ago.
The hot cross buns of Good Friday
are marked with the form of the
cross. Indeed, the country people in
the north of England make many lit
tie crossmarks on their cakes before
putting them into the oven.

OF COTTON CROP

The Cror Reporting Doa"d of the
Bureau of Statistics of the United
States Department of Agriculture es-
Inmates, from the reports of the cor
respondents and agents of the Blu
reau, that the area planted to cotton
this year 1910 in the United States,
including that already planted and
expected to be planted, is about 1923
per cent of the area planted to cotton
last year, equivalent to about 1885,,
900 acres, as compared with 32,292,.
900 acres indicated by the bureaus
revised estimate of last years plant
ed area, an increase of about 100000
acres, or 2.8 per cent.
The condition of the growing crop
on May % was $40 per cent of a
normal condition, as compared with
81 per cent at the corresponding
date in 1909, and sos per cent, the
average condition for the past ten
years on May %.

ANOTHER JOB FOR
THE NEWSPAPERS

The matter of obtaining funds for
the entCI tainment of the members OF
the National editorial Association,
due to be in Honolulu during Floral
Parade week next February, has
been shifted around from shoulder TO
shoulder until it now bids fair to land
on the neck of the Honolulu editor.
The association wanted about So,
900 for the expenses of the side trip
by the entire bunch to Honolulu, and
had been in correspondence with the
Promotion Committee. That commit
tee thought the object good one, so
passed it on to- the Merchants, Asso-
citation. The latter body has just
about concluded that this is an op.
portunity for the newspapermen of
Hnolulu to shine, and thinks of pass
ing it up to the local editors.
I'VE want to raise at least $4,000
| for the entertainment of these edi-
tors" said President Waldron, of the
Merchants Association this morning;
and think that the newspapermen
are the proper ones to do it. or
course the merchants and business
community generally would put up
the money, the newspapers doing
their part in keeping the subscrip-
tons booming. We have set the
figure at $4,000 but a little more
than that sum would not hurt. I
believe that it WHY not be hard for
the newspapers to raise the amount,
/ fthey go about it energetically."

Tenney And WaIdrOn
On Federal Site News

The cablegram received by the Act
ing Governor today from Delegate
Kuhio which makes it appear GER
tain that the appropriation for the
enlarged Federal building site has
been obtained, is variously received
in the business section.
From the tenor of the informa-
ton now on hand" stated e. D. Ten
ney this afternoon, 81 should say that
the entire block containing the Ma
huka site will be acquired for COVER
ment purposes. l know of no way
to stay it now, and do not know. that
would if I could. At the same
time there will probably be serious
questions raised as to whether or
not s35O,O0O VII cover the values to
be affected by the deal.
LAS for Castle & Cooke the prin-
cipal immediate interest we take in
the matter is that it breaks up our
plans for occupying larger quarters in
the Cummings block. Workmen have
been engaged there for sometime,
altering the building to suit our pur.
poses. 1t is too early to say what
Castle G Cooke will now do, but l
suppose it will be a case of remain
ing where we now are, at least until
some other plan for permanent ar
rangements can be made. However,
it will most likely be year or more
before the government is ready to
take over the property, as plans must
be drawn and other preliminaries
worked out.

MORE FILIPINOS.

The Manila Cablcnews of May %,
which arrived in the warships today,
says:
One hundred Filipino laborers I'M
der contraetto work in the Hawaiian
sugar fields sailed last night on the
Tanning to Hongkong, where they will
be transferred to ship bound to
Honolulu. Sixty of them came down
last night from Tarlac on the 7:25
train, and the Tanning delayed sailing
until 10 p. M, when they all were
aboard.

"The position of Hall G. Son in
the matter is different from ours in
that they have been established in
their building for a great many years.
Removal to any other part of the city
would result in injury to them, for
some time at least"
Fred L. Waldron, president of the
Merchants Association, is not kindly
disposed toward the new scheme.
"The more l think of it, the more
l suspect again that this is con-
spiracy of the Irwin site promoters
to carry their point. It is plain to
anybody that S35O,OOO will not buy
the property it is proposed to con-
denim. At least 100000 will be re-
quired, and | doubt if complete set
Elements could be made for even that
large sum. Any attempt to get the
property for $35O,O0O would bring on
endless litigation, and probably the
complete Illustration of the plans
to the delight of the boosters of the
Irwin site.
mot speaking for the Merchants
Association, but for myself individual
ly, 1 would say that I still stand by
the original cablegram sent to Prince
Kuhio, to urge the Mahuka site and
that alone. believe that to be the
correct policy to be followed at this
time, for the reason that regard
it as our only show of getting a Fed
eral building within a reasonable
time"
