a statement as to duties and posi-.

contact with any insurance company
except in the discharge Of his dues
as a state official. Mr.. Schuyler gave
out the following statement FOR pub

"The department of fire prevention

course its primary object sthe pre-.

impossible matter it seems win be
shown by the following facts. Less

caused by what should be called
criminal carelessness." II is my duty

the best-known a2d best liked men in

Scranton, Pa, according to news re-
ceived by members of Aloha Temple.
The news came as shock to the
many friends of Hines in Honolulu.
In February, 1911, when the imperial
diyan made its famous pilgrimage to
Hawaii, bringing mobiles from all over
the country, Hines was imperial po-
tentate and as such was the central
figure in Shriner activities here.
He has been the head of a big land

Mr.. TAFT Naturally Annoyed.

Secretary Garrison's assertion that
Mr.. Taft's criticism of the Philippine
government was mendaciously and
mischievously partisan may have been
too violent. In this matter the former
president is not necessarily a partisan.
He sees lot of office-holders, all good
Republicans, out Of jobs which now
are held by Filipinos. and he grieves
as might father for his children.
Instead OF calling this partisanship
we should say it was affection and
philanthropy. AS the chief represen-
tative of the Republican patriarchate.
1t is perfectly natural for Mr.. Taft
to mourn the lost tribes In the Philip
pines, and not only eulogize them but
say some unkind things OF the Philis-
tines who have seized their Offices.
Nobody is better qualified to pro-
nounce these carpet-baggers absolute

LOOK INTO YOUR CELLAR
Plenty Of Air and UnsIaked Lime
Make for Health, Says Writer
OF Experience.

Householders seldom know that
their cellars are the storehouses from
whence comes so per cent of the air OF
the first floor and 80 per cent of that
on the floor above. II they did there
would not be so many dank and mol
some places filled with refuse and
mold, spiders. cobwebs and mice, to
say nothing of decayed vegetables and
fruits, a writer in Mothers Magazine
observes. Vapors from all these COM
bine to penetrate the whole house and
add their poison to the air that Is
breathed by those living above them.
Every cellar, even IL kept free from
dirt, should be ventilated as carefully
in winter as In summer. A musty
smell shows that mold plants are grow
ing and are waiting to attack fruit and
vegetables. Cold will not kill these
destructive germs. There should be
plenty of air let in the cellar every
clear day. Moisture-laden air en-
tering it condenses on the walls and
pipes and soon makes it SO damp that
it is a menace to the house. All cell
lars should have dishes Of unslaked
lime in them; this takes up moisture
with avidity. When the lime crum-
bles, losing entirely its crystalline
character, it has become slaked and
will take up no more moisture. 1t
should then be renewed.

Did you ever converse with a L1ar
who was so nervous that he would

time the roly-poly one said anything
the cadavcrous man took the words
out Of his mouth. The fat man began
to glance sidewise at his companion.
1t was apparent that the thing OF hav-
ing his words taken out Of his mouth
was beginning to raw him up some.
The car travelled quite distance be-
fore he opened up again. Then he
said something about election, but the
lean man again interrupted and I'm
ished what he was going to say. The
fat man jumped from his seat with an
angry fash on his face. shook his INST

Most Popular Houses.

Perhaps the most popular types OF
dwellings being built at present are
the two-family and three-family
houses. The reason for this is not
hard to understand when one consid-
ers that the rented apartment or
apartments in such house carry all
interest, taxes, water rates and insur-
ance, and that any money paid in by
the owner is In the nature of decreas-
ing the mortgage, so that in time
these payments will pay for the house
and he will own 1t free and clear.
An additional feature OF the two
family or three-family house Is that
after the house is fully paid for the
rentals furnish a steady income and
means for the upkeep Of the whole
building.

WALL NEED NOT BE UGLY
Builder Who Works With Good Taste
Can Achieve Results That Are
OF the Best.

There is no reason why brick wall
should be SO dull and monotonous, for
there are numerous methods for brick
walls Of which any clever architect
or bricklayer might make use, says a
writer in the Dayton Journal. Some
times there is clause in the specifi-
cations calling for more or less orna-
mentations of otherwise blank walls.
In Holland, where much brick Is
used in domestic architecture, brick
men take delight in showing their
skill in making brickwork and nearly
every cottage shows specimens OF
their handicraft.
It Is not the best thing to do to
select bricks for facings If the bricks
are sound and right in texture. 1t is
pretty safe to say that labor put into
that special picking is worse than
thrown away, Is positively injurious,
and that all those slabs of raw, harsh
color might have been rendered soft
and harmonious by using the bricks
just as they came out of the kiln, with
all the perceptible and imperceptible
graduations of tone conferred upon
them by the accidents of burning.
Your great bare spaces will be full
Of variety and interests Of what paint
ers call quality" but without preju-
dice to the breadth Of treatment, be-
cause the smallness of the individual
bricks distributes the variation Of
color so subtly over the whole surface
that only those who are Gin the know"
can realize how it came about. And,
of course, the larger the surface the
wider the diversity of color that can
be introduced without disturbing the
general tone.
