PARADISE OG THE PACIFIC"

The first number of an eminently use
full monthly publication under this name
was issued yesterday in time for dispatch
by the steamship Australia foI the Coast.
A notice appeared in these columns
some few months since, describing its
general scope and design, and now that
the paper itself is before us we can cor
daily congratulate the proprietary, to-
gether with the business ma0ager, Mr..
j. j. Williams, upon the excellent man
ner in which the original intentions
have been carried out.
One of the most prominent wants OF
mankind in this age of travel is ready
means of gaining reliable information
Whatever a mans purpose in going
abroad-business or pleasule-he wants
to know beforehand what land is best
adapted to that purpose. There is the
general newspaper press, it is true; but
as rule that does not tell him all he
needs. 1t is devoted to the interests OF
local residents, who, with com paratively
few exceptions, constitute its readers
It seldom publishes standard knowledge
about the place, simply because such
knowledge, to the great majority OF its
readers, would be nothing new.
The Paradise of the Pacific" steps in
where the general newspaper fails. The
intending visitor may learn from it just
what he will find when he gets here.
The points of interest, the means OF
reaching them, the lucious fruits that
grow here, the kind of people that live
here and various things are communi-
Gated in readable form in the course Of
eight pages, a prominent feature of
which is a we'll executed print of the
city of Honolulu, with its majestic back
ground Of mountain ranges, taken from
the deck of a vessel outside the reef.
The paper will be found extremely use
full to foreigners who desire to know
more about the Hawaiian Islands, and
we believe it to be we'll calculated to pro-
mote local commerce. As such it is de-
serving of liberal support.

A Hint to the Barrier

suggestion has been made that bar
bers put their razors in weak solution of
carbolic acid after shaving each customer
and thus prevent the danger of infectin1
them with some dread disease, barberis
itch, etc. This idea is an excee1inolv
good one, and ought to be followed let
them rinse out their mugs and brushes
which are in common use with the same
solution. The expense is a mere no+biney
and the plan entails little or no extTa

The footing of LoOomo.iuaa.

A mechanical expert given to curious
investigation estimates that the footing of
locomotives on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, in an ordinary
DAY run, involves waste of steam re-

coal TO renew. He estimates the whis-
