KINDNESS TO HORSES
IN SWITZERLA AND

! NV owl l[EhLANO,
English people travelling on the
continent have often been troubled
to see the unkind way in which ami
mails are treated, more especially in
Paris, Italy and Spain. Some of the
continental countries have only late
ly' established societies for the pre-
yention of cruelty to animals.
In Switzerland there has for some
time existed a strong animals pro-
lection society, which has now or
ganized classes for cab drivers,
coachmen, and all who have charge
of horses. These classes are very
largely attended by cab drivers and
others who intend to take up line
of life in which they will have much
to do with horses. Examinations
are held periodically, the examiners,
being veterinary surgeons, police in
spectors and cab proprietors.
An examination was held the 9th
er day, the pupils haT ling been exam
ined in what they had learned dur
ing their course of lessons-that is,
how to drive, the best kind of har-
ness and the proper way of harness
ing, how to look after and feed hors-
es, and what horses can be expected
to do, and what not. Students"
who wish to attend these classes but
cannot afford to do so are given as
sistance from a special fund for the
purpose.-PalI Mall Gazette.

WHY CONSUMPTION
ISN'T CURED.

ISN'T CURED.
Brown had moved in the month of
May into a house in another part of
the town where he had always lived
By fall he had contracted tubercu-
losis. 1t was discovered later that
several different families who had
occupied this same house in success
sion had lost several members from
tuberculosis. No attempt had ever
been made to disinfect the house.
Brown went to Arizona, pitched his
tent on a certain spot, and never
made any change from that one spot
until his death Note that fact. AS
a result, the soil over which he slept,
night after night, became saturated
with the accumulated germs which
he expelled in coughing, so that he
was continually at night, rebreathing
into his system the very seeds"
which cause the disease. He was re-
poisoning himself nightly, and did
MT know it. His system would have
been able to throw off the original
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-05-10

but 1t was not strong enough to with
stand a new dose every night. Had
he changed the location of his tent
daily, he could have slept each night
in an atmosphere practically germ
free.
There is lesson in this. The OPP
en-air treatment is all right, bat 1t
must be carried out by right meth
DDS. All early cases of consumption
which have failed to recover by out
door treatment must lay the blame
to faulty treatment. Jones, who re-
covered, you will remember, did
change his location every day, hav-
ing no tent to bother him, and in so
doing avoided the fatal mistake of
Brown. How about Smith? The case
of Smith is of the greatest import
ance. He had recovered, you will re-
member, and returned to his home
feeling fine-back to what? To the
very same plague-ridden room III
which he had first contracted the
disease room reeking with tuber-
cular germ life, and which had been
occupied, it was learned later, by
Ave different consumptives at vari-
Gus times. The disease got hold
on him a second time, for the sim
pie reason that he came back to the
original source of his disease. He
should have sought new quarters, or
else the house, and particularly the
room he occupied, should have been
disinfected before being occupied by
him or any one else. These three
cases cited are but typical instanc-
es. There are thousands upon thous-
ands of Browns, Joneses and Smiths,
living and dying this very day, whose
story, if told in its true light, would
match exactly the simple but pathet-
ic history of these three men.-Tech-
nical World Magazine for May.

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION

Professor David, of Sydney Uni
versity, has furnished Reuters Ag-
ency with some further details of the
Australasian expedition to the Ant
arctic. The expedition, which is be-
ing organized by Dr. Mawson (who,
with Professor David and DR.. Mac
kay, were the discoveries of the
South Magnetic Pole) was arrang-
ed on consultation with Sir Ernest
Shackleton, and will in no way clash
with the work being done by Cap
tain Scott. The object of the pro-
posed expedition is to explore about
1000 miles of as yet unknown coast
between Cape North on the east and
Gaussberg, the old wintering place of
the German Antarctic expedition, on
the west The only part of this coast
line about which anything definite
lis known is Adele Land which was
discovered by the French explorer,
Dumont d'Urville, in 1S3S-39. The
coast line in this region has an in
terest of its own owing to the fact
that Commander Wilkes, in the Unit
ed States ship Vincennes, shortly af-
ter D'Urville's discovery, reported
sighting an extensive coast line.
which he claimed to have followed
Tin his ship for hundreds of miles.
So far as recent explorations by
Scott, Shackleton, and the Gauss ex-
petition have revealed its outline, it
is clear that the Antarctic continent
on the side nearest Australia and

South Africa is Of the nature OF q
high plateau, with very steep coast
rising almost abruptly from sea lev
ell to from 5000 to 10000 feet. To
the west of Cape North the continu-
alton of this coast line was seen By
the British Antarctic expedition OF
10000, extending for fully forty
miles farther west than the extreme
point to which it had been previous
ly traced. AS far as the members OF
that expedition could Judge, the same
plateau character of coast line is
maintained as this newly discovered
land clearly consisted of broad ia
ble-topped hills, isolated from ONE
another by deeply eroded valleys,
occupied by large glaciers. The de-
tails as to the personnel of the new
expedition, it's ship, and so forth, are
not yet settled but it is expected
that everything will be in readiness
for DR.. Mawson and his colleagues
to leave during the present year
They will be absent for at least eigh-
teen months.

GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME.

AS vacation days draw nigh it is
meet that place be selected at which
month or so may be spent with
profit. There is much about Haleiwa
to recommend it. From the point of
view as a sanitarium there is no bet
ter place on the Islands. 1t has other
advantages also, not the least of
which is its proximity to the city. AS
matter of fact one may be in the
city and yet out of it when transpor-
tation and means of communication
are considered. You may be in touch
with the world during your stay at
this delightful spot. And the cuisine,

One pound of seeded raislns. three

half pound of minced candied orange
peel, one pound of chopped suet, scant

add crumbs and suet, beat the eggs, add
TO them the coffee or brandy, pour over
the dry ingredients and mix well. Pack
into small creased molds and steam eight
hours at the time OF making and two
hours when wanted for use. Better re-
suits are obtained by steamlng than by
boiling-it is more tender and better
in every way. The water must be kept
boiling steadily, adding TO II occasionally.

Removing Stains.

Before sending linens to the laundry
they should be well examined to see if
they are stained. Table linens, espe-
cially, should be carefully looked after.
and when stained should be well wash
ed and left TO stand in very hot, soft
water TO which tablespoonful of borax
or a teaspoonful of salts Of lemon has
been added. II the stains appear stub
born, this may have TO be repeated sew
eral times. Rinse in cold water and hang

Never plunge clothes in hot water with
soda. this will set the stain. Fruit
stains may usually be removed by pour

In order 10 avoid the ripping of the

ribbon may be shaped over the instep.
You can readily see that after a narrow
