PUUNUI EAGER TO GETBENEFITS
OF IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT Law

Hearty good will was the keynote
OF the discussion last night when rep.
resentatiyes of the Puunui district
appeared before the supervisors in the
city hall and asked that Puunui be
declared an Improvement district.
The request will be granted by the
supervisors, Engineer Whitehouse hav-
ing been instructed to draw up pre-
liminary report on the improvement
plans as outlined in the petition pre-
scented by the residents of the district.
One of the features of the request
IL that the improvement shall be
made on an area basis, VILE other
districts have been declared on ba-
sis Of fronting.
G. ]. Boisse and ]. G. Stokes, both
addressed the supervisors regarding
the request and stated that the resi-
dents whom they represent are very
anxious that Puunui shall be improy-
ed. They asked especially that an
outlet from the district to the Coun.
try Club, preferably Laimi road, be
created.

committee, declared the supervisors
should do all in their power to help
out the petitioners, but did not feel
that certain streets proposed in the
petition as main thoroughfares could
rightly be called so in justice to other
districts that are coming under the
frontage law.
Larsen stood stanchly for concrete
rather than asphalt macadam mention
ed in the request I'VE will listen
to nothing except concrete" he said.
at is concrete with us first, last and
always. Well talk concrete roads
with you any time but Sundays"
Hollinger as Arnold had done, stood
against creating main thoroughfares
out of back streets, but declared him.
self heartily In favor of the project
as generally outlined. -
Whitehouse, city engineer, admit
ted that the Puunui people need an
outlet toward Nuuanu, and Supervisor
Horner expressed himself as being
in favor of the improvement. Engi.
neer Whitehouse will present his re.
port at the next meeting.

commissioner, today.
Mr.. Wilder Is just back from trip
&c Hawaii, where he went to inject
new enthusiasm into the Scout move
ment. He found the three troops well
organized and the boys up TO standard,
but he does not think there are as
many boys enlisted as should be.
rEiilo has three troops. the LIST
Troop, under Father Aloysius, the I'd
Troop, under Rev. ]. Knox Bodel. and
the Sd Troop, under Rev. T. Silva, and
all are good troops, but am not sat

has at least 200 boys Of scout age who
should be enlisted. whereas there are
now but 81.

more than boys. We have Is hard

| the boys because they are enthusiastic,
not because they think Il is a duty.
This is the only movement which
will reach the boys Of the outlying dis
tricts on the islands. We must carry
il to them. In Hilo, for instance. the
scouts. though progressing and doing
fine work, need help and encourage
ment. There should be at least Is
men on Hawaii willing to give some of
their time to the boys.
The troop of Father Aloysius has
not been able to get q building to meet
in, and are still using the porch OF the
mission. They should be offered q

Praise For Workers.
'The men who are aiding the scouts
on Hawaii are all Of big caliber, and
are doing great deal of work. I
hope soon there viii be others to help
them.

IF this movement did not mean
something-the making of better men,
and the training Of future citizens-it
would not have advanced as it has.
Busy men and rich men would not be
backing it. Let me tell you something.
In Boston there is an office where "a

competent executive men are employ.
ed to handle the business, and this is
for the Boy Scouts of one state. Do
you think this would be II this was

Rope of Genus.

"The Rope of Genus" was the
name of a picture painted by Polyg-
notus, a distinguished Greek, who
died in the fifth century B. G. He
is reputed first to have given life,
character, and expression to paint,
ing. According to Pliny, he opened
the mouth and showed the teeth of
his figures, and he was the first to
paint women figures with transpar-
ent draperies. Genus was a poor
but industrious Greek, whose ex-
travagant wife spent money as fast
as he could earn it, and he related
his troubles to his friend the paint
er. Polygnotus thereupon painted
the picture of a man weaving a rope
of straw, while behind him stood a
donkey, eating the rope as fast as
it was woven. 1t is pleasant to re-
late that the silent lesson had the
desired effect upon the wife of o.
nus and that it was through her
subsequent frugality and thrift that
Genus ultimately rose to a position
of great prosperity.

MARE and practice are the chief

roasting may be done In the
oven. but probably the beginner may
find 1t easier to watch the process and
prevent burning If the top Of the stove

A heavy frying pan with a lid will
probably be the most easily available

seurs declare that contact with metal

fusing cause deterioration of favor.
Such enthusiasts insist on having
their coffee roasted in heavy earthen

until yellow; then and increase
the heat, shaking thoroughly until all
the berries are q deep. even cinnamon

will spoil your coffee. for particular
drinkers.
If you like egg in your coffee you
may beat one up and add it'when the
coffee has cooled somewhat. but is still
warm. though not hot. Beat with the
coffee until every bean is glossy and
coated with egg. The egg dries and
helps to preserve the flavor, as we'll as
to clear the coffee If made by the boil
ed method.
If drip coffee-which, Of course. Is
far more wholesome-is preferred the
egg should not be used. French coffee
roasters sometimes add about two lev

every pound Of roasting coffee and
about one level teaspoonful of sugar
These are added while the final brown
ing is being given. Tastes differ as t.
whether the addition of either. both Of
neither is best.
Keep the coffee in air tight tins and

coffee carefully, 80 as to secure a uni

THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE.

lie Glory eliminated In the Reign Of
sulsimsn the Magnificent.
The strength and glory of the
Ottoman empire eliminated during
the long reign of Suleiman the
Magnificent" l520-66. His en-
pire extended from near the border
of Germany to the frontiers of Per-
STA. 1t included in addition to what
we Of this and the preceding gen.
GRAFTON have been accustomed to
think of as European Turkey-that
is, Servia, Albania, Bulgaria, Thrace,
Macedonia, Interchangeable whole
Balkan peninsula - Greece, Rou-
mania, and nearly the whole of
Hungary also. The empire in Afri-
ca also was of immense extent, COW
ering nearly all of the Africa which
was then included within the zone
of civilization.
There was no state then compar-
able to the Ottoman in extent of
territory, in population and in the
number of different peoples ruled.
The Ottoman power was the terror
of Europe and of Asia, both on land
and on the sea. Twice did the
armies of the Turks reach the very
walls of Vienna. AS compared with
Turkey how small was England OF
France or Germany!
The break up of the empire,
which we think of as occurring lit
tie by little during the last hundred
years, actually began when Sulei-
man was scarcely cold in his grave.
Internal moral decay set in, effemi-
macy in highglife, a riot of base in
trigue, sultans deposed by the pow
er of the Janizaries-picked sol.
diers of Christian origin, introduced
by Orkman, destroyed by Mahmoud
II. in 1926, never more than 10000
in number-it is a record of de-
generacy from that day to this.
When Suleiman died Russia was
in comparison with Turkey a weak
almost a negligible, power. Compare
the two states today. Intelligent
Turks have themselves been making
the comparison in keen conscious
ness of the height from which they
have fallen and of the depth tt
which they have descended. In pro-
found humiliation they face the
record of their national decay

AN OLD TIME HUSTLER.
celensl Samuel slopsr Was a coIeni.,
Jack Of All Trades.

celensI Samuel slopsr Was q ceIenia,
Jack Of All Trades.
It is necessary that the pioneer
be a man of infinite resource, who
can do for himself or his neighbors
every necessary task. Such a man
was Colonel Samuel Sloper, one of
the early settlers of Blandford,
Mass, whose astonishing versatility
is recorded by S. G. Wood in "Tav-
erhs and Turnpikes of Blandford."
Colonel Sloper, among other
things, kept something of a stable
and pastured horses and stock. For
the munificent reward of 3 shillings
the old veteran in 1888 moved the
family of David Knox by means of
ssteame and boy" Now and then
he turned his hand to odd jobs. He
carted and laid out John Waldo
Woods flax one season for 97 los.
He seems to have made shoes
and garments for his family and for
his neighbors. For Enos Loomis'
young son, who was bound out to
him, he did on this wise: "Caping
your sons shoes, 1-3." Gone bot
tie green coat trimmed and made
for Moses, 2 shillings." He made
several shirts and a frock for the
Martin Leonard company.
The number of things which this
veteran and "dabster" did make an
astonishing list. He was surgeon
in ordinary to the parish of Bland
ford, and this long before he had
accumulated an army experience.
Veterinarian, too, he was. His jour,
nails are peppered over with charges
for the treatment Of young horses.
In the account Of Eliphalet Thomp-
son in the year 1772, along with a
"frying Pam" and 81 Pr Sizers'' is
the CHARGE. "To Setting your boys
rist, 10 shillings." James Sinnett
in 1888 became indebted to "Seting
your knee and Dressings" and to
"Sundri Dressings" 4 and 3 shil-
lings respectively.

Where Slang Originates.

Our English friends often er-
roneously charge us with express
sions that they commonly term
Americanisms, which may be found
in standard English literature. For
instance, it is the common belief
that 81 guess not" is an American
ism, yet it may be found in "Meas-
ure For Measure" act 4, scene
4, where Angelo asks of Escalus,
"And why meet him at the gates and
redeliver our authorities there?"
To which Escalus answers, II guess
not" The so called A%mericanism
81 guess" is merely a survival of an
English use commonly current in
the Elizabethan period. See, for in
stance, "Henry w." part l, act
2, scene 1, "Better far, l guess, that
we do make our entrance several
ways."-New York Telegram.

LINGERIE GOWN.

The month of roses, with its brides
and weddings, brings out many YER
sions of the "rose frocks." The gown
shown here to be worn at a mfdsum-
mer evening function is n of the
prettiest of the seasons offerings in
rose. M.
The gown is of family rose chiffon,
very simply built, just a straight hem
med and gathered skirt and surplice
waist, which serves also for sleeves.
But the charm Of the fr0ck is in its
trimming Of roses and the color in
which it revels.
The roses are tiny and set upon the
skirt in alluring little circles as finish
ings Of the ribbon trimming. The CIR
die Of ribbon is trimmed in the same
manner, aud in her arms the wearer
will carry a bouquet of pink roses.

Risina to the Occasion.

Napoleon was never SO resource
full, never SO level headed, never
had that vigorous mental grasp, was
never able to make such powerful
combinations, as when he was driv-
en- to desperation. 1t was when all
bridges we're burned behind him
and there was no possibility of re-
treat that the possible Napoleon
came to the rescue. Napoleon said
of his great General Massena that
he never showed his mettle until he
saw the wounded and dead falling
all around him in battle. Then the
lion in him was aroused, and he
fought like a demon.

Swallowing tn. Dice.

Excessive gaming has always
been prohibited by law, and in the
time Of Henry VII. archery was the
only game of any kind that was not
unlawful in England. The gaming
laws are, of course, far stricter now
than they were in the early years
of the last century; but, says I. P.'s
London Weekly, even at that time
police Grads" on gambling houses
we're frequent enough, and it is said
that at one or two of the west end
establishments persons were retain
ed "whose sole duty lay in being
able to swallow the dice in case of a
raid by the police"
