yMomday, Dec. II, 1891.

Seven days of the grandest
retailing we ever knew, 1--WE
say seven because Saturday
night counts as a day., in
lamps and goods for the holl-
days, and yet not a weak spot
in all the long lines. In varle-
ty of styles, in completeness OF
assortment, it's as if we had
just unpacked the boxes and
had not waited on ever SO
many hundreds Of buyers
better than that, we've had
such proof of what your choice
will almost surely be as to
make the gathering Of styles
doubly strong at those points.
Christmas isn't the time OF
year when you expect extra
special bargains in goods suit
able for gifts. Very we'll, our
prices must be a surprise to
you
1t would be marvellous, in
deed, if an overlapping OF
lamp stock, such as we have,
were without spots of excep-
tional price-interest. We mean
that no lamp prices anywhere
shall be more favorable toyou.
AS a rule, the same quality
would cost you more in any
other store. But for all that,
there are lamps that for one
reason or other-go0d balyimg
PerhaPs-get away out of
price-tune. You'll be interest
ed in them if you like things
that are exceptionally nice.
Next to lamps Cut Glass
has had the attention of the
buyers more than anything
else. This little fact shows
two things: We bought the
right quality. We bought
what yOM wanted. In the
whole lot there is nothing
prettier than the one single
olive dish we have remaining.
1t was sold to a lady the other
day as a gift to a friend but it
proved a duplicate and we ex-
changed it for something else.
There is only one and it won't
remain with us long. Perhaps
while you are reading this
some one else who got up
earlier than you is on the way
to the store to buy it. If it is
sold when you arrive we will
try and convince you that
there are some other pieces
among the lot that are just as
rich in cutting as the olive dish.
It's hard to decide where there
are SO many elegant things as
our glassware case contains.
Some physicians tell US that
the sewing machine is respon-
sible for more diseases among
the gentle sex than anything
else. 1t probably comes from
STOPPING over too much or ex-
ercising the feet too much, or
something ; at all events, the
sewing machine is the cause
of it. That is, the old style,
not the new. We have the
kind that you don't have to
touch your feet to. Not many,
only a few of them, and if you
want to get rid of that
tired feeling" you will
probably take the first car
that goes "direct to the Ha-
waiian Hardware Store" and
get one of them; but don't
be late.

Value of Minutes.

Perhaps there was never given a more
striking instance OF the value of minutes than
the following: A party of ladies and gentle
men were shown through very large carpet
establishment few days ago. They were
permitted to look into every nook and corner
of the building except one. Atthe bottom of
a stairway they came upon closed door,
upon which were the words Positively
No Abundance" The curiosity of the ladies
was now awakened, and one inquired eager
ly-
What is up there?"
THAT is our workshop" exclaimed the
representative of the firm. 1--WE have one
hundred and fifty women on that floor sew
ing carpets"
SOh, should so like to see them al work"
said the fair questioner, with playfully be-
seeching look.
81 am sorry that l cannot take you up
there" replied the firms representative, "but
the rules are very strict. Really there is
nothing worth looking at, and there are no
trade secrets there. The reason why the firm
interdicts visitors is because the presence of
strangers in the room causes every sewing
woman TO look up, and takes her attention
off her work from one to five minutes Sup
pose each woman loses an average of two
minutes. With one hundred and fifty wo-
men that means loss to the firm OF three
hundred minutes or five hours oftime. That
is too much to lose when we are working I'M

An Indian Boys Life.

An Indian boy is much like wild, intract.
able white boy, except that he is extremely
skilful with his bow, ball, or lasso, aud has
| an extraordinary keenness of sight and hear
ing. No description can give an idea OF the
ease and grace with which he does every act
appertainingto his future vocation OF hunting.
A duck does not take to the water more readi.
ly, more instinctively, than be to the chase OF
birds and beasts. .t .-.
While white boy is spelling words Of two
syllables with difficulty, an Indian boy will
lassoa wild pony, spring upon his back,
and ride bare-backed as though he were part
of the animal. Let the pony shy, or come to
dead halt from a swift gallop, the boy
keeps his seat. Nor can the most vicious
pony get him off, except by lying down and
rolling. Even in that case, the boy VIII
have remounted before the pony is upon his
feet again.
His memory is remarkable "A file of sol.
diers crossing prairie or a mountain will Of
ten be quite puzzled by the buffalo tracks and
Indian trails crossing and re-crossing each
other, like the rails near central railroad sta.
ton. An Indian boy of fourteen, If he has
been there once before in his lie, will say
quietly, This is the road" and he will rare
ly, If ever, be mistaken. ,..
But the catalogue of an Indian boys viz
tues is soon ended. He appears to be ex-
ceedingly deficient in moral qualities. Gen.
E. D. Reyes tells US of an Indian boy who
once waited upon the officers mess in Cali
fornia. His mother made q present OF the
young savage to the officers, and brought him
into camp, a lad of twelve, quite naked, who
had never before seen civilized people.
He did not betray the slightest emotion on
leaving his parents, his tribe, and his country.
Nor could he be induced to speak of them;
and he never manifested the least interest in
them, or regret for them, or desire to see
them again.
He was cruel in his nature, and seemed to
have little sense of humour and no sense of
gayety. Once only in many years was he
known to laugh hartilY, and that was when
a savage mule, after long struggle, threw
one of the officers with such violence that the
onlookers feared he was killed.
During the whole contest the Indian boy
laughed in enjoyment, and when the officer
struck the ground his delight was without
bounds, and he yelled and hoped about like
a panther.
The behaviour of Indian boys at home
would be intolerable to any but Indian par
ents In the wigwam there is in the evening
no light but the fire; and as fuel is often
scarce, the fire goes out early, leaving the
inmates to the chill and darkness ofthe night.
The boys, in consequence, soon wrap them
selves in their blankets and lie down; but
not to sleep. They talk and sing for while,
then get up perhaps, stir the smoldering en-
bers of the fire, or take run around the vii
lage to get warm, rousing all the other boys,
who come tumbling out for q boisterous
frolic. They may do this two or three times
before they finally settle down and sing them
selves to sleep.

The Blue Jaws Song.

Did you ever hear blue jay sing. Some
people are incredulous concerning this, but
we nave heard the jays too often to have any
doubts upon the subject. This bird, whose
common note is of all bird voices most harsh
and vexatious, can sing, under his breath,
like a canary. But when he does sing it is
always beneath some safe cover, in dense
thicket of cedars or spruces usually. For
our own part we like the bird that can sing
everywhere but if the range of sweetness
must be limited, let the softest strains be al
ways reserved for the home, for the cover
underneath which lies the nest.

Asbestos.

Asbestos is a mineral that crystallizes in
long fibres. The fbres can be separated as
easily as those OF our softer woods, and are
woven into variety of articles. which are
worn for protection against fire.
Among these articles are mittens to guard
the hands of fremen, assayers, refiners, and
others who are exposed to burning. AS the
material is not affected by heat, The workmen
thus protected can grasp hot irons, crucibles
and the like without discomfort.
Masks for the face are also made Of asbes-
tos. 1t is said that the heat from the hottest
fire cannot penetrate through them to the
skin. Air for breathing is supplied through
q tube from beneath the mask, so that the
flame of the burned atmosphere Is not inhal-
ed. In this way the discomfort of working
directly in front of retorts and furnaces is
greatly relieved.
Complete suits of fireproot asbestos cloth
are now made for firemen's wear. As the
material is indestructible, and bad conduct
| or of heat as well, the wearer is protected In
| the midst of flames. Of course air for breath
| ing must be supplied through tubes in some
such way as it is supplied to the diver when
| he Is under water.
| For domestic uses iron holders are now
| made of asbestos. With them the grasp of
the iron, however hot it may be- never causes
pain or burning. There are also made large
holders, intended for use by smelters, mold
ers. and workers in metal generally
| 1t remains to be added that asbestos is
| widely distributed among the older rocks of
the United States and Canada. AS goods
| made of it are subject to loss only by wear,
the supply of fibre is likely 10 be equal to all
| demand for articles of dress.

IT'S Better to Laugh Than be Signing
1t isn't worth while to fret,
To talk as behind hearse;
No matter how vexing things may be.
They easily might be worse;
And the time you spend in complaining
And groaning about the load
Would better be given TO going Oh
And pressing along the road.
I've trodden the hills myself,
lis the tripping tongue can preach,
But though silence is sometime golden,
AS oft there is grace in speech
And l see, from my higher level,
Ills not the path but the pace
That wearieS the back and dimSthe eye
And writes the lines on the face.
There are veXing cares enough
And to spare when all is told;
And love must mourn its losses.
And the cheeks soft bloom grow old;
But the spell of the craven spirit
Turns blessing into curse,
While the bold heart meets the trouble
That easily might be worse.
So smile at each disaster
That will presently pass away.
And believe the bright tomorrow
Will follow the dark to-day,
There's nothing gained by fretting;
Gather your strength anew,
And step by step go onward,
Let the skies be gray or blue.
