Poor Peers Sell TREASURES.


LONDON, April 1.-The fact that
Lord Chesterfield has allowed him
SELF to be 'overlain," to use the fash
ionable word, by an astute art cur
10 dealer in the West End, is not
% much an adverse reflection on the
commercial wisdom of the head Of
the Stanhopes as 1t is an indication
that even among supposedly well-to-
90 English mobiles the need for ready
cash so frequently reaches the acute
stage that all manner of schemes are
readily resorted to in an effort to
raise the wind" In the course of his
evidence against Harding. the curio
dealer, Lord Chesterfield openly ad-
mitted that, had he known that such
aiuab.2 Junk" lay concealed in the
't'ics of his mansion, he would.
without hesitation, have converted it
into ready money long before he did.
Lord Chesterhelds case is only
typical of dozens of others among the
oaiye and highly placed of May
foir. It is a known fact that since
the sale of the Anisdel Madonna
(Titian) for $85O,OOO to the British
GoyernmeW by special act of Parlia.
ment Rlenheim Palace has gradually
been unloaded of all treasures not
tied by entail to the Marlborough es-
tate-this, too, despite the Vanderbilt
replenishings of the exchequer. For
the same sum (S350,000) the late
Earl Spencer disposed of the famous
Althorp Park Library to Mrs. Ry-
land, of Manchester, and the sale of
the late Lord Actions library bought
by Andrew Carnegie, was known to
be necessary for the provision of liv-
ing funds for the incoming heir. Just
recently the Duke of Norfolk, reputed
man of vast wealth, had a difficulty
with a dealer in respect of the sale
of his Arundel treasures.
Such cases may be justified by cir
cumstances. The general public
hears, however, of only a few isolat-
ed cases. The number of private
deals that are executed, week in, week
out, between impoverished members OF
the highest nobility-some of them
bound, like Lord Chesterfield and the
Dake Of Norfolk, by close official
ties to the Cortland the agents of

Snapshots of Hawaii

ly, Is waiting the adventurer.
The pass narrows, and green walls,
made marvellous by daily showers,
shut in the road that, with a sidelong
airt like the tail Of a dragon, brings
into view the palmforested city and
the masted harbor, lying back there
and far below. Waterfalls are 'um-
bling out Of the messes of green, and,
apparently, out Of the blue sky.
Blue2 It is suddenly gray; then,
with a swift upward soaring of cloud
wings. the sun shines out. and a dou-
BILE rainbow appears, spanning the
pass from wall to wall
The steep climb is resumed, the
kodaker ecstatically kodaking and
lodging showers and rainbows. This
is not so impossible as it seems. In
Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, U. S.
A., l have stood in one street and
watched it raining in the next street
without so much as a drop falling on
me.
The way grows rougher. An enor-
nous rock, apparently. bars further
progress; but by a turn in the road
the rock is circled. and straight ahea
is the jumping-off place Of the world.
(Old Kan certainly had his enemies
down and OUT when. with his
doughty war-club, he drove them
from the narrow shelf Of rock to the
inhospitable rocks and the sea, one
Thousand feet below
OF course, you attempt to snapshot
the mighty Pail, and equally of
course, you can't. Kan never knew
how hard he was making it for flu
ture kodakers when he elected to
immortalize that spot.
Wherever you go in the streets Of
Honolulu, one or a dozen little be-
ings with black velvet eyes, brown
velvet skins, and certain characters
tics of unwinged cherubs, spring out
of the very ground at the kodaker'C
feet. They assault him in musical
vowelly language, and try to sell him
leis of bright beads, seeds or tiny,
glistening shells. Click! And if the
kodalzer is quick enough, he has Il
stray cherub or two, safe in the black
box.
When, with the help of Three Bells,
the films are developed and the pic
lures printed, the kodaker is apt to
wonder what is missing from the pic
lures. I'll tell you. You didn't cap
ture the rainbow that spanned the
pass; the panorama of sea and islands
that you viewed from the crest of
Diamond Head; the glow and fra
GRANGE of the gardens of Moana Lua,
the music of the surf that beats on
the silver sands of Waikiki. More
over, the camera failed to record the
sparkle in the eyes of Three Bells.
I must tell you about Three Bells.
When he first came to the hotel he
was a tiny fellow very anxious to do
credit to his new uniform with its
bright buttons. Replying to three
bells (the room call for ice water), he
staggered to the door Of the aston
ished guest with a pitcher (half as
tall as himself) in either hand.
"Scuse me! get mother one
right away" he offered, and since
that time whatever name he may
have borne, has been lost sight of IN
the facetious designation: Three
Bells"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-04-15


Three Bells clambered down from
his perch on the music stand, and
trotted up the drive under the palms
and the swaying japanese lanterns.
It was concert night at the Royal Ha-
waiian hotel, and as an officer high
in the navy was a guest Of the house,
a band from the transport in the haf-
Dor had taken the place OF the regu-
lar Hawaiian band.
Approaching the manager OF the
hotel, Three Bells thus gravely de-
livered himself:
The bandmaster, he have say he
make all the piece he know. There
are no more to make. What shall he
do now?"
When there are no more pieces
to make" said the manager, with
equal gravity, you make the Star
Spangled Banner"
Three Bells trotted back. and pres
emily the air thrilled to the we'll
known, well-loved, strain. On the
instant everybody, hats off, arose;
and it was the dark-skinned, foreign
looking Hawaiian, loyal citizen Of
the United States since annexation
days, who was first on his feet.
The incident led me to realize, as
nothing else would have done, that
the Hawaiian islands are really a part
of our country, though very unlike
any other portion of it. It is this I'M
likeness that tempts the tourist to
lengths of photographed extrava-
gances, leading him to Snaps shot"
everything in sight, from the lei wom-
en- on the corner, who sell bouquets
of understanding carnations, violets,
and the yellow luck" flower, to the
naked bronze fodder, riding a surf
board off the beach of Waikiki
The kodaker starts out confidently
to do" Honolulu, and adjacent points
of interest. For some reason, not to
be explained, he usually goes first to
the Pail.
There were other attractions near
er the town and more accessible, the
extinct crater known as the Punch
bowl, at the rear of Honolulu; this
wonderful Waikiki beach, where the
bather, looking at the water, thinks
it is molten silver, and wading in,
finds it liquid velvet; the famous Jap
anese gardens of Moana Lua, with
their miniature lakes, thread-like
streams, spanned by absurd little
bridges, fishponds and forests of pa
pyrus and bamboo; and Diamond
Head, from the crest of which, on
clear day, the sightseer glimpses the
shadowy forms of other islands of
the group, resting like purple clouds
upon a sea of mother of-pearl. But
there is a certain fascination in fol-
lowing where, step by step, the grim

foes up the narrow Nuuanu pass, on
to the Pail, and over the thousand

The kodaker selects a propitious
day for his outing. OF he be wise,
he will engage Three Bells as guide,
philosopher and tripod bearer) But

Editor Star: Very little is heard
of the Russian camp nowadays, but
it still exists, and though it is not
thing of beauty, no one can say that
it is uninteresting. In fact, it is very
doubtful if a stranger sight can be
seen anywhere in the world than this
camp, and however unreasonable ana
wTongheaded these people may be-
they certainly deserve credit for the
efforts they have made, and the in
genuity they have displayed in build
ing their homes. In this respect they
have probably come nearer to max
ing something out of nothing than
anything that can be mentioned. |
should first say, however, that their
sty, or mole-like abodes have ad-
vanced to houselike structures and
many of which contain windows
doors, rooms and verandas, not to
mention many little efforts at adorn-
ment that are quite pathetic to be-
hold.

called, are made of every conceiv-

Easy Man to Locate.

Samuel w. Shortridge is an easy
man to locate. Inquiries at five places
during the day and evening will sure

home, the Palace Hotel or the st.

at court during the day, and he is
not at home in the evening with his
companionable wife and children,
why, you may be sure that he has
been detained in town by some law
business, perhaps the preparation of

One way to improve land rapidly is
to pasture hogs upon it.
Young hogs can be fattened more
probably than those that are older.
Too many farmers have failed to
appreciate the possibilities of rye as
hog pasture.

A hog can be starved to eat almost
anything. but seldom does well on

MILK A VALUABLE
FOOD FOR POUL TRY.
Provides an Excellent Ration
For Egg Production.

Hens should have all the milk they
can readily drink. No kind of food is
better adapted to egg production.
Some milk mixed with bran will not
fatten them. but if given freely the
vessels in which it is fed will need fire.
euent cleansing to prevent them from
becoming offensive. With milk to
drink fowls having free range will do
well enough on one meal day, as this
will encourage activity in scratching
and picking up what they can find.
This meal should be given very early
in the morning. with a little corn and
oat chop mixed with it and little
salt to make it more palatable. The
birds will have a ravenous appetite,
and they can eat all of this feed that
they want without injury.
Fresh milk is preferable for chicks,
but the sour milk may be used for
mixing ground grain food for the adult
fowls. For ducklings it matters but
little whether the milk is fresh or not,
as they viii devour either kind vora-
ciously. There is u per cent of solid
matter in milk before it is skinned
and from 6 to s per cent after skim
ming. Fresh milk does not contain any
more egg producing material than
skimmilk except carbon. which is cas-
lily obtained from other foods. Give
the hens all the skifnmillz and butter
milk they can drink. For chicks the
milk should not be sour, as it may
cause bowel trouble. but adult fowls
may drink all kinds without injury.
Curds are excellent for hens. and whey
may be used with profit in mixing

Concerning Breeders.

When you buy your incubator buy
two breeders and if you can three of
them. 1t is better to have two 100
chick breeders with a $50 egg incu-
bator than to have one 200 chick
brooder. One incubator with three
breeders will put more chickens on
the roost in the fall than will two in
cubators and two breeders. Profits
come from the grown chickens, not
alone from the number hatehed.

Money In Chickens.

Raise all the chickens you can at
tend to this spring and summer. You
needn't be afraid of oversupplying the
market. Fowls are comparatively
scarce ali over the country. The good
prices offered for them have induced
the owners to part with more of them
than usual There is going to be big
demand for pure bred stock next fall.
Be prepared to cater to this trade.

Selection of Eqqs For Sitting

Eggs from very old hens should not
be used for Matching purposes. Select
eggs from young birds of good type,
color and form and breed characters

to selection if the breed is to be inn
proved. 1t pays to use reason and
