the Halcyon brought any opium from Hong

she did, it was DISCHARGED at Honolulu.

1t. A few years ago . scientist discov-
cred in Japan . plant resembling the
potato, aud sent samples OF it to Berlin
and Paris to be experimental II.
These experiments have been favorable
successes, and the new potato has been
extensively introduced in Berlin and
Paris, especially in hotels and restau-
rants. A number Of farmers in u vi
cinity, with whom l have conversedr
upon the subject, are willing to expert
ment on the plant next season. The
Royal Prussian Society Of Berlin has
taken plans to make experiments with
the plant. The scientific name Of the
plant is 'Stachys tuberifera,' but % to
their form they might be called pine
ones. 'Stachys aflinis' is another
name, and lately they have given it the
name 'Stachys Sieboldii.' The cultiva-
ton is the same as the old potato. ana
there have been found over LOO knobs
in one hall; some say as many . 300,
but this is probably exaggerated. They
are, Of course, not as large as u coln-
mon potato. According to the Garden

Exposed to the air they will shrink

HOW 70 SAVE NickELs.


20 Work Well.
A novelty in banking circles will be
introduced into the city with the new
It Is called the ..Nickel Savings
stamp System" and is designed espe-
cially for savings banks. The system
was put In operation In June by Edwin
Il. Mack, a Detroit banker. 1t has been
successfully tested in Detroit, San Fran
cisco, Denver, Louisville, st. Paul, Los
Angeles and Columbus. o. Agencies for
the various banks will be established at
various points throughout the city and
to q great extent In drug stores in the
resident part OF the town.
Sheets containing twenty stamps OF
the system will be left with the druggist.
These stamps are blue and a little larger
thar the ordinary 2-cent postage stamp.
In their center is the picture Of IA SOUR
rel on the limb Of u tree, the emblem OF
foresight and thrift. A boy or girl, or
any one, for that matter, can buy one OF
these stamps for 5 cents, or can buy as
many as he or she pleases ut the same
price. When 81 worth Of stamps has
been sold, a book Is presented free to the
holder OF the stamps
This books pages are ruled in little
rectangular spaces just large enough to
allow the FASTING Of a stamp, and there
are twenty OF such places on the page.
When the page is filled the book is taken
to the bank.and an account with the de-
positor Is opened. The depositor is
credited with a dollar and given a pass
book al the bank. No deposit for less
than a dollar will be received at the
bank.
The first lot IF these books was re-
ceiyed yesterday, when 1000 Of them
came to the Franklin Savings bank.
Cashier Seidlitz went to Detroit to make
arrangements for them..
The system has grown to be an i'm
mense thing In some cities. In Detroit
one bank sold over $50. 900 stamps in less
than four months and issued between
5000 and 1000 nickel savings books.
About 20 per cent. OF the customers
were under Is years of age. The aggre-
gate savings Of the town through this
system were about $50, 900 a year.-Kdn-

Still Rolling.

1t has recently been demonstrated that
some articles of merchandise, which have
been before the public OF England for the
last half century. are nine times more used
there thar all other principal patent medi-
cines put together. We refer to Beecham's
Pills. which in order TO meet the wishes and
requirements expressed by Americans,
many OF whom already know their value,
are now introduced in such a thorough man
ner that no home need be without them In
America. We believe this shrewd ana
discerning people will soon join In the uni
versal testimony that they ARE worth o
guinea a box" although they can be pur-
chased of druggists for but twenty-five
cents. These pills are round, and vii!
therefore roll. They have already rolled
into every English-speaking country In the
world. and they are still rolling. All suffer-
ers from Indigestion. flatulency, constipa-
ton. and all other forms OF stomach and
liver troubles, have nbw this famous and
inexpensive remedy within their reach; but
should they find. upon inquiry, that their
druggist does not keep Beecham's pills they
can send twenty-five cents to the General
Agents for the United States. B. +. Allen &
Co. 3G5 Canal street, New York City, who
will promptly mail them to any address.
