QUEER BREAD OF THE sEpoUlNs.

QUEER BREAD OF THE 5EDoUlNs.
while nearing the station of Maan,
on the Mecca Railway, en- route to
Petra in November, large, strange
looking heaps we're seen near a typ
ical desert well, around which some
Bedouins were gathered and encamp-
ed On investigation, these proved to
be heaps of samh bread, the food Of
the desert Bedouins, writes Deputy
Consul-General Whiting from Jerus-
alem. The samh is a small plant
which grows wild, the Bedouins say,
all over the desert plateau east of
Maan, where nothing is cultivated,
there being insufficient rain for any
grain to grow. The first arabic land
we encountered, with a moderate rain
fall, was after six or seven hours ride
west of Maan.
The natives stated that some
years the samh is more plentiful than
others, especially when a generous
amount of rain falls in the mountain
districts in the west, in which case it
is likely that the samh districts re-
ceive a small share thereof
THE plants grow close together,
with short stems like lentils. The
Bedouins pull it up by hand and fail
with stick, which removes the small

the wells, and holes from the size of
bathtub up are made in the sandy
clay soil and filed with water.
seed pods are thrown into these holes
in small quantities and stirred by the
women with sticks and their bare
feet. The action of the water opens
the pods, the seeds fall to the bottom,
while the hulls float. Only about ten
minutes in the water are required to
open and separate them. The bulls
are then skinned off and the opera
ton repeated.
when sufficient pods have thus
been treated, the water4s dipped out
and the seeds spread out to dry. The
seeds are then sifted through fine
sleeves to take out as much of the grit
as possible, and ground in basalt
handmills into flour, and the bread is
either baked on a sal, convex sheet
iron of circular form placed on small
stones and heated from underneath,
generally with a manure fire, or in
taboon, dome-shaped clAy oven with
an opening at the top, which is kept
hot by smoldering fire on the out
side, always kept burning, and the
floor is covered with pebbles on which
the loaves are laid and baked.
1.-The bread is very black and grit
ty, the latter being accounted for by
the way the seeds are hulled in the
sandy holes. To improve the bread
the natives add little sugar to the
| -four, or kind of molasses made from
the seeds of the juniper tree (Juniper-
lis phonicea) by boiling and then
straining them. The juniper grows
wild abundantly around Petra and the
reighboring mountains"

THE THEATERS
BIJoU HAS A VAUDEVILLE STAR.

BlJoU HAS A VAUDEVILLE STAR.
An enthusiastic audience greeted
Eva Nudge at the Bijou last night,
where she made her Honolulu debut.
Her lightning costume changes were
effected with startling rapidity. From
being naval officer, she became a
trained nurse, and Immediately after
stepping into a pretty scene tent, she
emerged as a dashing young woman
in red. Again she disappeared and
under strong spotlight quickly came
into view as a dashing highwayman
of the seventeenth century, envelop-
ed in a dark cloak, and wearing a
handsome costume of the cavalier
days. For each character she had
song. At first the audience watched
her in critical wonderment, but as
each change was made the enthusi-
asm grew and when finally she sang
her last note there was a demonstra-
ton and she received two curtain
ing as something that is new and al
together original, and while her voice
at first did not seem to have that al
Turing quality to be catchy, it was a
singing voice that finally was con-
coded just right. Hers is an interest
ing act throughout.
The Younger Brothers, as strong
men, gave an exhibition of strength
which was hit, while the lions roar
ed and yielded to their trainer like
the good lions they are. The Bijou
bill this week is unusually strong.
Clothes Make the Man" is a moving
picture of unusual interest, with a
line of comedy all through.
The Savoy Theater bill was at
tractive with Lowell and King in an
Australian scene which was gripping
in Intensity of portrayal, and the An
ker Sisters had many new songs and
pretty dance, called the Tarantella,
which they executed with grace. The
series of moving pictures and these
alone are well worth seeing even il
there were no vaudeville features.
The Empire Theater has another
very strong and attractive bill. Pastor
and Merle in a funny sketch, "The
Johnnie and the Soubrette," do many
clever stunts, present acrobatic fun
nyisms and Miss Merle sings well
Foley and Earle, the clog dancers
made another hit with the famou,
Dope Fiend Dance" Fine movinl
pictures throughout.

COURT QUARTERS
ARE NOT DECIDED

Choice of quarters for the Federal
court and it's officers until the Judici-
airy building be repaired, or perhaps
until the Federal building be erected,
lies with Washington, but as yet the
Department of Justice is silent on
the matter. Judges Dole and Glenn
ons named their preference, among
the places rendered, for the Model
block on Fort street. other locations
submitted by tender were the Kapio-
lani, the Magoon, the Y. NJ. c. A. and
the Elks buildings, while one bidder
offered to put up a temporary wood
en- structure.
No decision has as yet been an
nounced by the Territorial Judiciary
Department relative to accommoda-
tons for the Supreme and Circuit
Courts while the Judiciary building
is undergoing repairs, although 1t was
taken for granted by the Legislature
that the old throne room, now the
chamber of the House of Representa-
tives, should be occupied by one or
more of the Territorial courts. AS
there are three circuit judges holding
court nearly every day, besides the
Supreme Court sitting frequently
every month excepting in the summer
vacation, the House and Senate cham
bers both would hardly furnish ade-
quate accommodations.

SPARE THE CAT AND
SPOIL THE RAT.

In Paris they are waxing indignant
over the proposed taxation of Min
cite, the ubiquitous cat. It is only
suggested that the tax should be .
francs year. nevertheless a fierce
protest is being raised against the
proposal, and the comic cartoonists
are very busy making capital of the
idea One used to second the sugges-
ton that levy should be imposed
in English on the all-too-prevalent
and inharmonious puss, but in view
of the recent revelations concerning
rats, one cannot help thinking that
the cat is by far the lesser of the
two evils.-Lady's Pictorial

VICTIM OF DEADLY GAS
GENERATED BY HIS AUTO
Carbon Dioxide Kills Physician
While He Is Cleaning His
Machine.

CHICAGO, January Ga mufier on
the gasoline engine of an automobile
caused the death yesterday Of DR.. John
Aloysius Hemsteger, a prominent physi-
clan.
He died from the effects of carbon diox-
ide inhaled Wednesday while cleaning the
apparatus on his machine. The death is
said to be the first of it's kind on record.
According to Edward Hemsteger son,
the physician went to his garage to get
his automobile. Finding a quantity of
carbon had accumulated in the muHer
and engine cylinders, he poured mix
ture of wood alcohol and kerosene into
them to clean them out. He then start
ed the engine and opened the cutoff valve
in the muffler.
The garage door was closed. There was
no other outlet for the forming carbon
gas that rushed from the engine into the
room.
The physician was almost overcome
but managed to open the door or the
garage, which let in the fresh air. lie
was taken to his home, where he died
the next day.
Physicians who held an autopsy assert
that death was due directly to poisoning
of the heart by the carbon gas.

SAVING TEN CENTS A DAY.

Oh AANN 4A1AN SAN4N ~ A
A novel experiment in the matter
Of teaching its employees economical
methods is being undertaken by the
Pennsylvania railroad Realizing
that the way to add to the dollars
is to look after the pennies, the rail-
road has appealed to its mean to
save at least ten cents day for the
company. Small as is this amount
for each Individual, the aggregate is
something enormous. For instance,
II the $4,000 employees on the lines
east Of Pittsburg and Buffalo will
act on the suggestion 1t would mean
a saving of $4,000 day, or more
than $4,O0O,O0O a year. The men
are told that 1t is within their power
to do this by cutting down in the
reckless use of supplies of various
in the use of oil,
firemen in the consumption Of coal,
shopmen by the exercise of care in
making repairs, and in the use of
material; trackmen urged to econ
omIze in spikes and bolts and to see
that material of that character is
not wasted. Clerks and office en-
ployes are reminded that they can
conserve the stationery that passes
through their hands, and, in fact,
every branch of the service is to
be taken into the company's conf
dence in the matter of cutting down
the operating expenses.
