what if you should die or something

who told me the two most wonderful
things that ever think did hear in
my life" Among the stories told were
of fish flying in the air.

Science in the Kitchen.

To plan a kitchen successfully one
must consider carefully the scientific
arrangement thereof. After the loca-
ton of the stove has been decided
upon, the sink must be placed. This
necessitates a consultation with the
plumber, as well as with the architect,
since its position is largely dependent
upon the location of the water pipes
and upon the drainage.
A generous space should be allotted
to the sink; also, it should be sufi-
GENTLY large to permit two persons to
work comfortably there. 1t must be
well lighted by ample windows placed
above it; if these are double-hung
sash windows, one may have the maxi.
mum of fresh air, even in extremely
cold weather, with no discomfort
while washing dishes or otherwise
working at the sink.

Process of Making Blood.

Natures process of making blood is
interesting. Briefly, it is on this wise {:
When the stomach and other alimen-
tary organs have completed their di-
gestive work the blood-forming mate
rial is absorbed by innumerable little
mouths. and conducted through maze
of assimilating glands to a storage
pocket in the regions of the kidneys
From this receptacle the refined blood
material passes upward through a
long goose-quill-sized tube emptyine
into great vein between the neck
and the heart. The heart receives
this crude, rich blood and pumps il
into the lungs, where it is oxygenized
and purified. Then the life-sustain
Ing stream returns tc the heart to be
forced out to the remotest tissues Of
the body.

plan sketch, are about one inch away

arrange the knives so that they are
supported by the tops of the three
tumblers and nothing else. Most OBJ

some will try it and in most cases
fail, writes r. holland of Minneapolis,

be done, and the illustration shows
how simply it may be accomplished.

By the invention of an adjustable
thermostatic controller which is intend
ed to be attached to steam or hot wa

tanning a room at a nearly constant
temperature has been devised. The

stance is; so to find out the power
of different oils to hold dust, and the
binding coat, the adhesive machine"
was constructed.
The little invention consists of an
inner and outer cylinder, the latter a
hundredth of an inch larger than the
former. The material to be tested is
placed between these two cylinders
and the whole combination is mount
ed horizontally. A rope and weight
are attached to the outer cylinder;
a water-cooling jacket keeps the tenn
perature uniform, with a tall Their
mometer on the device keeping the
record, and the test starts. The time
required for the weights to turn the
outer cylinder three times is the fig
ure which decides the test. A mini
mum time of 300 seconds has been es-
tablished as a requirement for all
oils. The balsam preparation used
for sticky fly paper has an adhesive
test figure of about $50 seconds.-n'

Y. w. CLASSES
AND CLUBS MAKE
BUSY BUILDING
New Organizations Are Pro.
crossing Fast and Meeting
Various Needs

The organization of nine new class
es for the second term of the educa-
tional year, and the organization of
six new clubs coincident with the OPP
ening of the new building OF the
Young Women's Christian Association
has made the rooms set apart for
the use of the educational and extern
sion department busy scene this
week 49,. - '... e..
Classes in stenography, millinery.
English for foreign women, Spanish
and singing have already been organ
lied; and classes in typewriting and
cooking will be organized this even
ing. Arrangements have also been
made for classes in business English
and sewing if there is sufficient de-
mand for such work on the part of
the membership. ~.
The new clubs include club for
business girls, a club for high school
girls, club for students living at the
Kaiulani Home, club for Hawaiian
girls and club for English-speaking
Japanese girls. The Lei Mamo Club
organized about four years ago by
Miss Nora Sturgeon, is also being af
filiated with the association.
The High School Girls Club and
the Kaiulani Club were organized, and
the Lei Mamo Club was affiliated as
an extension club yesterday afternoon.
The plans for both the former clubs,
composed sentirely of school girls, in
clude about 40 minutes each week in
the gymnasium and about 40 minutes
more for business, social and literary
meetings as well as some sunshine
work The Lei Mamo Club, on the
other hand, composed of girls employ
ed for the most part in indoor work,
will hold only part of their meetings
at the association building-in the
cooking class room and in the club
room, according to the wish of the
swimming and other outdoor pastimes
The associations scheme for club
work is sufficiently elastic to meet the
needs of all the varieties of girls liv-
ing in this cosmopolitan city.
A preliminary canvass of the Ha
waiian girls interested in the organi.
zation of the Hawaiian girls club
would seem to indicate that this club
will probably divide its time between
singing and athletic games, and that
the Japanese girls club will probably
devote its time mainly to literary pur-
suits. Since, however, all clubs are
self-governed the program of activities
cannot be definitely announced until
the clubs have been organized All
Hawaiian girls are invited to attend
the. meeting tonight, when the club
for girls of this nationality will be or
ganized, and all Japanese girls the
meeting next Tuesday night, when the
club for girls of that nationality will
be organized

the state legislature last year. This
bill attempted to abolish the two
thirds majority provision OF the old
law in certain isolated instances,
those including counties where the
scat OF government was located oil

law was unconstitutional, and while
five counties started ceu1,ty seat
