NOT A FRIEND TO BE SOUGHT
Man Who Continually "RIows His
Own Horn" Is as a General Prin-
ciple to Be Avoided.

Beware Of the person who is contin-
uaIly telling you of the good he's do
ing.
Something about that man is not
right.
He has some reason for desiring to
make you think him better than he is.
He either wants to work you into
something, OF he wants to reach some
one else through you.
The man who does deeds of kind
ness, prompted by heart which is
right, seldom tells of them. He might
mention one to an intimate friend, per-
iaps, but then only incidentally.
The man who gives, not because he
really wants to do so, but because of
some selfish desire, will never get
credit any higher than his own roof.
His desire for effect and his insincer-
ity make him man to be avoided
Dever trusted.
Lock out fer the man who wants you
to turn his grindstone.

Daylight and Sleep.


Opponents of the daylight saving
bill in England are not likely to go
as far as did those of the alteration
of the calendar, which took place in
the eighteenth century. This change
was made to bring England into line
with most other European countries
who had calculated leap-year differ
emily from them. The result was an
apparent loss of IL days at the begin
ming of September, and in certain parts
of the country riots took place, dur
ing which the war cry of the insur-
gents was "Give US back our eleven
days" Theirs, of course, was per-
manent loss, whereas those who now
object to being deprived of an hours
sleep on May 81 have the consolation
of knowing that they will get their
own back again in october.-London

Who ls the Boss?

The superintendent of big depart
ment store In Boston conducts school
of craftsmanship in his establishment,
and one of the first questions he puts
to his class of beginners is: "Who is
the boss?"
After statesmen pupils have guessed
every official about the establishment,
the superintendent explains. mo, no,
no; he is not the boss. The real boss
in this store is the customer. It's the
customer that. you and / are here to
please. It's the customer who pays
your wages and mine. Now, if you are
sitting behind your counter, doing
nothing, and you see me coming, don't
jump up; but if you see the customer
the boss coming, jump! That al
ways makes deep impression"
The lesson is good one to men,

HAVE QUEER Names
E3AWAIIANs SHOW PICTURESQUE.
NESS IN THEIR CHOICE.
Fancy Literally Drawn Upon by the
IsIanders-Q Question of Gender or
Appropriateness Matter Of
Little Consideration.

The natives of Hawaii are singular
ly picturesque Ia their choice of names.

The Fool, The Man Who Washes His

Yard, The Husband of Kaneia Ga male

Nose, The Atlantic Ocean, The Stom-
ach, Poor Pussy, Mrs. Turkey, The
Tenth. Heaven are all names that have
appeared in the city directory.
They are often careless of the gem
der or appropriateness of the names
they take. A householder on Bere-
tania street, Honolulu, is called The
Pretty Woman (Wahine Maikai) a
male infant was lately christened Mrs.
Thonpkins one little girl is named
Samson; another The Man; Susan
(Kukena) is boy; SO are Polly

pretty little maid has been named by
her fond parents The Pig Sly (Hale

for no reason at alone boy is
named The Bat Eater (Kamea Oh l
Ole).
Rev. DIR. Coan of Hawaii possessed
the love of his flock. One morning q
child was presented for baptism whose
name was given by the parents, Mikia
when the ceremony was finished the
parents assured the doctor that they
had named the baby for him.
"But my name is not Michael said
the doctor, supposing Mikia to be
aimed thereat.

had mistaken Mrs. Coan's familiar
'.Iny dear'' for her husbands given
name.
An old servant in Doctor Wright's
FAMILY at Kohala caused her grand
child to be baptized in church The
Doctor (Kauka) that was its only
name. BY way of compliment to the
early physicians many children were
named after their drugs, as Joseph
Squills, Miss Rhubarb, The Emetic,
The Doctor Who Peeps In at the Door.
Names uncompIimentary, or even
disgusting, are willingly borne by their
owners; others convey pleasing and
graceful sentiment. Among the latter
are the Arch of Heaven (Ka Rim Lani),
The River of Twilight (Ka Via Lanil,
The Delicate Wreath (Ka Lei ma Lii).
The name of Liliu O Kalani, the
queen now in retirement, means A
Lily in the Sky Youths Companion.

MANY AGENCIES At WORK
Most Active Fight Against Tubercu-
losls Is Being Carried on at
Numerous Points.

Statistics made public by the Ma
tionaI Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis show that
nearly 1900 agencies are now listed in
the fight against tuberculosis In the
United States, an increase of 1000 per
cent since 1904, when the national
warfare on this disease was started.
These figures are taken from new
tuberculosis directory issued by the,
association.
The list includes 557 sanatoria and
hospitals, 1853 tuberculosis boarding
houses, 80 hospitals for the insane and
35 penal institutions making special
provision for tuberculosis, 455 dis
pensaries. 80 open air schools, and
1924 anti-tuberculosis associations
and committees. To these are added
15S Canadian institutions and associa-
tions, making total of 3,087. The di-
rectory also gives summary of mti-
nicipal and state legislation on tuber-
culosis.
When the national association was
formed In 1904 and the first list of
agencies was printed, only 1S3 Organi-
cations and institutions were found.
The second edition of the directory in
1908 reported $40 different agencies /;
and LAO were listed in the third edi-
ton published in 1911. On the basis
of the latter figures, the number of
agencies in the anti-tuberculosis move
ment has Increased 115 per cent in the
last five years.

The New Paris.

The red pantaioons of the uniforms
are now pale blue, and under the steel
helmets, similar to the burgonets OF
the middle ages, the hardened faces
of the poilus speak of battles. But
flowers are still to be had at the XII
osks and from the little pushcarts !;
children still play noisily in the court
yards, or dance to the music of a
chance organ grinder; mothers smile
on meeting friends, and stop to talk
as ever, and the servants gossip in the
market places.
And yet all these faees, old and
young, aristocratic and humble, civil
or military, bear the same expression,
grave, expectant, yelled. One might
say that everybody listens to the dis
tant flow of his very hearts blood,
while here runs its regular course. 1t
is the atmosphere of universal fra
ternity which the war has impressed
on the French people that later shall
perhaps create new France. Mrs.

EiectricitY kills Insect.

A process has just been developed in
the department Of agriculture by
means Of which insects and pests may
be killed by electricity. The process
consists in the application of salt wa
ter to the ground that is to be treated,
and then causing a current of cleo
tricity to pass through the soil. The
current generates a gas which will in
stantly kill all germs, larvae and in
sect pests in the soil, without in any
way injuring the vegetation. A
large area of ground can be treated
by digging shallow trenches in which
a powerful current can be developed.

tain. pecultarlties of our system. In
the first place, he belongs to a guild
of exceptional power. It happens
that the unfortunate course was
taken ages ago of bribing the whole
legal profession to be honest. The
British judges and law officers are
stupendously overpaid in order to
make them incorruptible.
We have squared the whole profess
sion to be individually unbribable.
The judges, moreover, in the Anglo
Saxon communities are appointed
from among the leading barristers,
an arrangement that a child can see is
demoralizing and inadvisable. And in
Great Britain all the greatest salaries
in the government service are re-
served for the legal profession.
The national consequences of this
state of affairs have been only too
manifest throughout the conduct of
the war. The British government has
developed all the strength and all the
weakness of the great profession it
represents. It has been uninventive,
dilatory and without initiative: It has
been wasteful and evasive: but it has
not been wanting in q certain elo-
auence and dignity, it has been wary
and shrewd. and it has held onto
office with the concentrated skill and
determination Of q sucker fish.

BAD GOVERNMENT:
LAWYERS BLAMED

"a powerful agitation against "gov.
eminent by lawyers is going on in
England. Many liberal thinkers, OF
the type represented by Austin Harri-
son, editor of The English Review,
are ascribing the admitted blunders
of the government to the fact that it
is composed chiefly of lawyers. A
good statement Of this point of view
is contained in an article by H. G.
Wells in The Saturday: Evening Post,
from which the accompanying extract
is taken.)
BY III. G. WELLS.
So early as the year 1902 the pres
ent writer was lifting up his voice,
not exactly in tho. wilderness, but at
least in the royal institution, against
the legal as compared with the Gre
alive or futurist type of mind.
Tho legal mind, he insisted, looks
necessarily to the past. It is dilatory
because it has no sense Of coming
things, 1t Is uninventive and wasteful,
1t does not create, it takes advantage.
1t is the typo of mind least able,
under any circumstances, to organize
great businesses, to plan campaigns.
to adventure or achieve. swat and
see" crystallizes its spirit. It's resist
ance is admirable and it has no "go.' -
Nevertheless, there Is a tendency for
power to gravitate in all democratic
countries to the lawyer.
In the British system the normal
faults Of the lawyer are enhanced and
