The Pres ident lias proclaimed an agreement en tered Into with the government of France on August 22 last, extending an Important trade advantage to tho Isl and ot Puerto HIco by the admission of tho coffee produced In that Island to tho French markets at the minimum tariff rate. This was accomplished by a special agreement made between Acting Sec retary Adee, for the united States, and M, de Margerle, Charge for the Gov ernment of France here. This agree ment In turn amends the commercial arrangement of date May 28, 1898, which was the first drawn under the terms of the reciprocity section ot the DIngley act. That arrangement applied only to Franco and to the United States pro per, and the amendment Just entered into extends It on the one side to Al geria, and on the other to the Island ot Puerto Rico, as to the general feat ures of the tariff schedules affected, while as to Puerto Rlcan coffee It Is provided that It shall enjoy the mini mum French tariff rate until February 23, 1903, by which date It is expected a turther extension can be arranged. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A COPPER. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman has been credited with being able to sleep as easily In a standing positions as he can lying down. Said the Duke ot De vonshire to him on one occasion: "You are like a policeman, Bannerman, you can always sleep standing up." An equally curious habit Is that of Lord Rothschild, who confesses that he can sleep better In a theatre during the performance than he can at any other time or place. HONOLULU STOCK EXCHANGE.

Box 484 HAWAIIAN BROS AND THEIR HABITS Rather more than twenty years ago there was published In the Hawaiian Annual a paper on the birds of these Islands from the pen of S. B. Dole, the present governor. In the last Annual an article appeared written by II. W. Henshaw of llllo, and this has now been completed und published separ ately as a book of nearly 150 pnges. A comparison of the two works will at once show the great Increase In our knowledge of the Island birds that has been gained, since 1879. Though mod estly designated as a 'list' the new work Is a complete, popular ,and at the same time scientific, account of all the birds at present known to inhabit these Islands. It consists almost entirely of Interesting readable matter, the ac tual descriptions of the various species, although quite sufllclent for their Iden tification, being usually limited to seven or eight lines or even less. Mr. Hen shaw's work Is divided into two parts. The first deals with questions of gen eral interest to the prnithologlst. such as the nature of the forests, the de struction that has taken and Is taking place In these, the origin of the native birds, the causes of their decrease, an account of the work done by various collectors and the subjects. The second part contains the brief technical descriptions referred to and likewise notes on the habits, songs, &c, of the various species. Many of these notes are the result of the author's field observations and contain much of Interest. Thus of the "Omao" he says: "It Is a common habit for It to alight on a limb lengthwise, a custom which with Its erect attitude while perching strongly indicates thrust nllmitles." To some species Mr. Henshaw has unquestionably paid more attention than any other observer, to the "Ele palo" of Hawaii and the Io for exam ple. A few lines taken from the ac count of the former are a fair sample of the author's work: "The curiosity of the Elepalo Is Insatiable and a pair or two are always on hand to inspect an intruder and learn his business. It will follow and catch an Insect on the wind, which It has chanced to dislodge from some hiding place, but It never sits and watches for flying insects as do the American llycatchers. In fact by far the greater part of Its Insect food is gleaned from the branches ot trees and shrubs, and from among the lichens and tangled ferns. Its motions generally and its hunting habits are those of a wren rather than those of 'a flycatcher. Indeed its resemblance to J the wren Is remarkable, especially when it droops its wings by Its sides uiiu vulu jih tail uici ikn unvn, jui;i. Is its frequent habit." It Is curious that the use of the dis torted mandible of the Akepa should have escaped the notice of the writer, since It Is obvious when the live bird is examined with field glasses or even sometimes with the naked eye, or from an examination of the food of the bird. The economic value ot some of the birds is alluded to and the need of legislation for their protection. As a matter of fact no forest bird should be killed under any pretext from the first ot March till the middle of October, for not even for scientific purposes is It necessary to do so. It Is a most un fortunate fact too that of the birds of the open country the golden plover both for food and sport surpasses all others, for it is of all the most helpful to the agriculturist, and Its habit of selecting the most injurious Insects, and Its presence In the Islands when these are most nctlve might well afford it more protection. At the end of the list the rice-bird, mynah and other introduced species are dealt with. For the camper out in the woods who wishes to know some thing of the birds around him, the present work is the very thing, while it Is at the same time none the less Interesting to the advanced student ot ornithology. It should be In the pos session of every one who takes any In terest In this subject. It. C. L. PERKINS. For sale by Thrum's Book Store. MEMORIAL ADOPTED. The Free Kindergarten and Chil dren's Aid Association of Hawaii adopted at Its October meeting the fol lowing memorial of the late Miss Mary Green, one of Its most earnest sup porters: In the Providence of our Heavenly Father, our beloved sister and faithful coworker, Miss Mary Elizabeth Green, has been called home from the scenes of her labors among us. The Free Kin dergarten and Children's Aid Associa tion recalls with loving remembrance her earnest devotion to everything that pertained to Its highest Interest. She was ever ready to contribute lib erally of her time and means and self to the physical, Intellectual and spirit ual betterment of others. Her love for the Hawaiian race, her self-sacrlflclng labors in their behalf, her steadfast de sire to lighten tho burdens of others, her sympathy and spirit of coopera tion, have ever been a source of en couragement and Inspiration, to all who have been privileged to work by her side. Her pathway was Illumined by a bright and loving disposition, which not only made cheerful her own life, but left a lasting Impress upon all with whom she came In contact, The world is not only better but hap pier because of the life and Influence of Mary Green. We shall miss our friend and sister from tho various places where we have been accustomed to meet her, but we shall cherish her memory with the deepest respect and affection. Let us be glad in our sorrow that we have had the privilege of knowing and of being associated with Buch a noblo and Chrlst-llko worker. To her sister and other relations we tender our heart felt sympathy in tills, their great loss, believing that their consolation will be In the assurance that to her "to die was gain." Note Heads.

TRACK LAYING AT T BALLASTING OF THE WAIKIKI EXTENSION OF THE RAPID TRANSIT COMPLETED TONIGHT. Work was In progress all last night on the Rapid Transit Company's lino of track through tho McCully tract and the banana plantation between King street and the Wnlklkl road at Kalla road. Incandescent lights were rigged up on the trolley wire, and plenty of light was thus afforded. Rush work Is being done on the line this extension and it is oxpected it will be ready for car service by Thursday. The ballasting is expected to be com pleted today and tonight. There will then ibe some Avork straightening up of the trolley wire, and then the line will be ready for service. The track for this distance Is a per fectly straight piece of track, and It crosses no streets It may be expected that fqst time can bo made on it. The ballasting Is now being done and It Is claimed that such good work Is being done In the ballasting as to make It perfectly safe to run at a very high rate of speed. In ballasting, a very ingenious device has been resorted to. The track runs through old rice fields and bannnn patches. It would be an Impossibility to haul the ballasting to where it Is needed In wagons or carts. In this exigency the platform on top like a' Hat car. Two hatches are loft In this platform. The car is then loaded with ballast and sent as a trailer to a trolley car to any point where ballasting Is going an. The ballasting Is then thrown down through the hatches In the ballast car right 'between the rails and ties. In this way tho entire track Is being ballasted. When this line Is completed and the car service on It has begun, the King 3treet cars will run from Kalihl out King to McCully street, then over this straight piece of track to Waiklkl road. The other main line system of the road will run its cars from AVyllle street down Llliha to King, thence along King. Hotel, Alapal, Kinau, Pensacoln, Wilder avenue Alexander, Betetnnia and McCully street stopping nt King street. Passengers by this line desir ing to go on toward Wnlklkl will be transferred at this point to the King I street cars. j The ballast material for Iho line is brought by wagons and carts from Mollllll quarry, at the rate of a hundred or more cubic yards a day. TUft-TUA REMEDY AFTER EXPERIMENTS WITH THE EXTRACT DR. SHOREY COMES TO FOREGOING CONCLUSION. Examinations of the tua tun by Dr. Shorey, food commissioner have re sulted In the discovery of a '1 sadly poi son In the seed of the plant, and this is thought to be the lngrelient that produces the painful effects attributed to the extract by those who clnim it H a cure. Three cats on which experi ments were made by Dr. Shorey have Joined the silent majority, turning up their toes in short order after being given only a few drops of the oil of the tun tua seed. The tua tua extract, without the s-ed produces no effect at nil, und I Is thought by Dr. Shorey that In the cases in which the supposed medicine proved an active drug seeds were mixed with the rest of the plant, nnd the extract contained some of the poison, not enough to produce a serious effect, but suiucient to cause a disturbance of the system. Dr. Shorey has a smnll quantity of the oil In his laboratory and some of the extract as well. "I have taken at one time enough of the tua tua extract" said Dr. Shorey, "to constitute two or three ordinary doses, and no effect has been shown. The oil is a poison some what similar to croton oil and ns It was fatal to the cats, I don't propose to take any myself. I believe that in all the cases in which the so-called tua tua remedy produced any effect at all, seed was mixed with the rest of the plant In making the extract and some of this oil, which Is not a strong enough poison to be futal In very small quantities, nnd may possibly have Its medicinal uses as croton oil, was In the extract. This ac counts for the contradictory reports about the 'cure.' Some of those who take It remnin quite unaffected, and increase the doses beyond all proportion without llnding that It effects their sys tems at all. Others Und It a strong purgative, and suffer severe pains from taking It." Dr. Shorey's experiments have con firmed the opinions of the members of the Bourd of Health who thought that Tua Tua was useless as a remedy, and there appears to be little chance that anything will come of using It at Mo lokal, as reports continue to be dis couraging, and patients are giving up tho treatment.
