BUILDING UP A WORD.

Art In Germany.

Art In Germany.
The following is the authentic history
of a formidable German word:
Among the H%ottentots Din German,
Hottentotten) many m~arsupials are
found. The works on natural history
do not reveal this fact, but the story is
as good as If they did.
Whenever the marsupials are caught
they are put into a cage, there known
as hotter, provided with a cover to
keep out the rain the cover is called
in German L~attengitter). The cage
then becomes known as L~attengitter-
wetterkotter, and the marsupial after
his Imprisonment in n Of them is a

One day an assassin lin German. At

on the life of a Hottenfot woman, the
mother of two suffering and stupid
children, who was called on this &C
count Observation-Disclosures
ter. The.malefactor was confined in a
marsupial's cage, whence he escaped.
He was recaptured by a Hottentot, who
put him in a safe place and came to the
chief of the nearest German South AT
rican station and said, with beaming
eyes. for he thought he had mastered
the German tongue:

L0NDoN's ANCIENT TOWER.
A Beefeater and a Woman Lock Its
Gates Every Night.

1900
Strange to say, very few people are
aware of an ancient custom which is
still kept up at the Tower of London.
Just before midnight a beefeater and
the chief yeoman porter secur the
keys from the governors house to
flock up" Having received the keys
they proceed to the guard room.
Escort for the keys" calls out the
porter. and a sergeant and six prlvates
turn out.
The procession then marches off. and
the sentries they pass issue the usual
challenge Of "Who goes there?' to
which the answer is Keys"
Arriving at the entrance to the Tow
er grounds, the lions gate. the porter
locks the gates and the party returns
to the gnardroom, the sentry challeng-
ing as before and receiving the same
answer. However. on arrival at the
guardroom again the sentry stationed
there stamps his foot. at the same
time giving the usual challenge.
"Keys." replies the porter.
.Whose keys?" the sentry asks.
"King Georges keys"
advance King Georges keys, and
all's WELL"
The porter then says, God bless
King George" and all present respond
with amen" The keys are then
saluted and returned to the governors
house, where they remain until the
next nights ceremony. = Pearson's

That wonderful new empire, Florida,
is prolific in bright ideas, some of
which have already been mentioned
in these pages. The latest conception
is SO good and SO easily adapted to al
most every city, and the results are SO
immediate and practical, that the
scheme deserves special mention.
In the city of Jacksonville, one of the
employees of the Health Department
has been detailed to inspect all the
hotel and restaurant dining rooms and
kitchens.
In this case the work is done by a
man, but the office is one which can
be filled with equal ability bya woman.
This inspector visits all these eating
places several times each month, APP
pearing at the most unexpected hours
as well as during the times when reg
ular meals are being served. The per-
feet grade is 100, whichmeans the high
est degree of cleanliness of rooms, kitch-
ems, ice boxes, sinks, dishes, linen and
personal cleanliness Of cooks, helpers,
dishwashers, walters and all other help
employed i'll the preparation and serv-
ing of the food. Table linen and work.
ing and serving garments of the help
are inspected; the appearance of the
walls and floor is noted, and uncooked
food is examined to determine its con-
dition, whether fresh or stale. All fall
ures to maintain a certain standard are
checked on a printed form and each
bad mark reduces the rating or ''score"
of that place for that month.
When the plan was first put in opera
ton many of the proprietors laughed at
it, and professed themselves Indifferent
to what the marking should be. Their
customers were satisfied and didn't care
any way. And they had not cared
previously, chiefly because they had
never been In the kitchens. But when
the first score was published trouble
began, and angry patrons threatened
to go elsewhere to dine. Then the
proprietors saw a great light and
promised reform. When the second
months score came nj there was a
marked improvement all along the
line, some places showing a gain as
high as % points. The inspection has
been in force several months and the
general rating Is steadily rising. Every
person who p~atronizes a public eating
place in the city Immediately looks for
the standing of the restaurant he pat
ronizes. Many of the finest hotels in
the large cities already urge guests to
visit their kitchens, at any hour, and
find the practice the best advertising
they can do. Some day the better-class
restaurants will find it profitable to dc
the same. 1t might not be a bad plan
to require each place to print on it,
menu each day the rating it received
for the previous month.-Popular Me
chanics.

CAR SERVICE AND PROFITS.
Honolulu, Jan. 10, 1913.

Honolulu, Jan. 10, 1913.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-There has been an interesting
case going on in California involving
the right of the Oakland Railways to
make special rates to suburban points
The decision of the State Railroad
Commission in the cases involved will
be interesting reading for the suburb
antics who have been persuaded that
a branch line must return a profit.
1t has been contended in Honolulu
that providing the lines in Manoa
Kaimuki or Puunui returned no.profit
or were operated at a loss that these
lines should suffer a corresponding
reduction in service. Such is not the
case If the California decision is to be
regarded as a precedent. Branch lines
must get all reasonable service pos
sible under the franchise as a whole.
For instance it has been held that
though Manoa gives most of the Will
der avenue traffic to the main line. yet
that branch must be run as a Jerk
water, and Manoa be made transfer
point instead of running the cars
through to Manoa and making Pawaa
the transfer line.
Here is the decision of the Commits
sion on this particular point:
During the afternoon session the

HEAVY RAINS FLOOD
EAST END OF CITY

For a short time yesterday after
noon this city was visited by one OF
the ~torrential ,doWnpours, that, nc
matter how used the people here are
to sudden rains at most any old time
caused look of surprise to creep
over the face of the Oldest inhabt
tant 49, .-....-*ss -
The rain in the city proper did not
last over an hour, but in that time
there was a large amount of watel
came down. At one period of the
precipitation -Beretania street was
flooded for its entire length from PHI
koi street to Alexander street with
the water rushing through the fences
and over the lawns on the makai side
of that street, and from mauka tor
rents were rushing into Beretania
street.
At the height of the downpour
Pawaa Junction was flooded to such
an extent that passengers could not
make the transfer from one line to
another and were taken to the end OF
the line and returned.
The rainfall for the afternoon was
SO inch, and for ten minutes in the
heaviest of the fall 80 inch came
down.
There being no wind with the rain
there was no damage reported, and
on the whole, it is thought that the
lawns were done considerable good
by the flood waters
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-01-23

commissioner pointed out that no road
can select certain line and demand
a rate OF fare which insures that par
ticular line returning a profit to the
company. He asked AIberger how
rates were determined. and if
he considered each branch line should
return a profit. The witness repli' d
that he believed a return on each line
was only fair The commissioner then
stated that if such was the case, any
well patrOnized line on which the
company is making a great deal in eX-
cess of its operating expense and in
terest on its investment would be sub
jeCt to cutting reduction in rates.
In continuing. he explained that
the cream of the business. as heavily
patronized lines are termed. cannot be
allowed to produce great revenue I'M
less the line on which the return is
only skinned milk are operated at a
reasonable rate of fare"

BREWERY EXPECTED
TO RAISE DIVIDEND

1t is expected on the street that the
dividend. of Honolulu Brewing and
Mailing Company will be increased
to one per cent a month on February
/, which accounts for the advance of
about three points in the stock in the
past few weeks.
Even old gilt-edged Waimanalo has
reduced it's dividend, but the cut is
only from 21a to 2 per cent. AS Wal
manalO stock is not on the market
once in ten years, this event has
nothing more than languid interest on
the street.
Todays stock sheet indicates lively
business between sessions in OnOmea
stock and Hilo Railroad extension
bonds, with Onomea up an eighth
point Oahu shows a decline of three
cighths for two blocks of 50 each.
