by trumpet calls, introducing after q
few measures an impressive theme for
the strings-Rienzfs prayer for the peo-
pie. This Ia repeated by wood winds and
brasses. with Accompaniment Of violins
and violas. At the close of the repeat

sung by the chorus at the end Of the first

bined with the theme OF RienZfs prayer.
An episode based on the theme OF the
slow movement leads to the second sub

trombones. A codG of most vigorous in

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

''FoIr years ago had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to

until they would bleed before could

would scale over, and the flesh IN

Sometimes it would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep,
and would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry

continue until there will be enough
water to float the greatest of the
dreadnoughts.
Pearl Harbor is to be the most
strongly fortified naval base in the
Pacific, if not in the world. The har-
Dor is landlocked and is distant from
Honolulu twelve miles. When the
channels to the east, the middle and
the west locks have been dredged, the
harbor will be large enough to float
the combined navies of the world.
The work of construction has been
under way more than twelve years
and it was fastened materially after
the Spanish war, and the occupation
by the United States of the Philip
pine Islands.
Hidden forts and disappearing guns
Of the latest pattern are to protect the
new harbor. The guns will use smoke
less powder so as to render their dis
covery by an enemy more unlikely
than otherwise would be the case.
The most of the expense in con-
nection with this great undertaking
has been for the cutting of a chan
mel through one side of a coral reef
so that vessels can get to deep water
inside the harbor. The coral is of the
hardest character and, therefore, the
work has been slow. But the re-
suits will be permanent and there viii
be no need of dredging to keep the
channel open. More than 100000
cubic yards of coral reef have been
excavated to open the approaches to
the inner harbor.
The solid character Of the coral reef
will afford a fine foundation for the
craving deck The drydock has been
planned on a large scale. It is 720
feet long, 10 feet wide and ffty-fve
feet deep, large enough in every way
for any battleship.
Hawaii has the advantage over the
Philippines as a naval base because it
is nearer the American coast and con-
sequently American ships can get to
coaling stations in a comparatively
short time in the event of war.

REAL MISTAKES OF HOUSE
In oIden Days, Among other Accom-
pIishments, Woman Was Required
TO Be Expert Carver.

In the matter Of old time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady OF the household.
In the eighteenth century she was mis-
tress of the ceremonies-she carved
and she dealt the while her lord mere
" pushed the bottle
She was also the menu, for II she
gave a dinner of several courses it
was her duty to announce to the
guests, seated expectantly, what was
due to appear at table. A dinner OF
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers OF gentle persua-
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight Of a knife in posi-
ton was the signal for the hostess to
inquire ''if he would please to have
something more"
In the art of carving, OF course,
the mistress of any country house
was past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's flight after perfec-
ton under the wing of a professional
carving master: "She took three les
sons a week. that she might be perfect
on her fathers public days; when, in
order to perform her functions with
out Interruptions, she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
so beforehand"

NO LONGER NOON IN STRAND
Violent Remedy Applied to Clock That
Fooled Londoners for Ten
Years.

Lordon-For ten years the clock of
st. Mary-le-Strand has looked due
west past the Savoy and Cecil hotels
and on the Charing Cross announcing
to all that the hour was exactly II
o'clock. A couple of days ago the
hands of the old clock were removed
has thus been lost.
The rector's wife explains that peo-
pie passing down the Strand about
noon have been deceived into thinking
that the old clock was a trustworthy
timepiece, and the result has been
'innumerable letters Of complaint
from all kinds of irate people who
have lost trains or missed appoint
ments This has gone on for years,
until at last a cIockmaster offered to
take away the hands and leave the
dial blank but not misleading"
The reason why st. Mary-Ie-Strands'
clock pointed to the same hour for ten
long years is simple enough. There
was no money to defray the expenses
of keeping It in order
Up to eleven or twelve years ago
the vestry looked after it, but when
the Westminster city council took
over the vestries the clocks income
was stopped. Private generosity kept
it going till 1902. Then it stopped, and
except for three hours in 1908 it has
never gone since.
It's short resumption Of labor was
due TO the enterprise Of an organ
blower who one day climbed the
tower, wound up the spring, and after
a struggle managed to get the pendu-
lum to swing. To the establishment Of
the verger, the rector and people in
the Strand, the old clock recorded the
hours Of one, two and three. and then
stopped. Next day 1t was put back to
twelve, and there it remained till a
couple of days ago.
