How Purple DYE Was Discovered.

1t is often said that the old Phenicians
discovered the purple dye in the murex
shell by observing "A dog which had eaten
one of the moIiusks and thus colored his
chops with a rich purple stain &c. Curtius
observes that the ancients were accustomed
to hunt the mureX by the assistance Of
pointer dogs. Some of the myths say that

\ telegraph operator on one of the sin
Gle track roads leading ont os Pitteburg
has had AN experience that will last him 4
lifetime. The young man became careless
as dispatcher~ sometimes will. and he gave
orders for freight and passenger train
moving in opposite directions, To 20 to Il
certain station When the trains had
started the operator suddenly remembered
that they couldn't reach the place without
a collision. 1t was too late To counter
mgnd the order. and in his agony cold drops
of per>piratnn ran down over his face In
describing his feeling afjerward he said
he lived Years in the few short minutes
which would decide the fat" of the trains.
He was startled and relieved 10y seeing
the engineer of the freight walk into the
tower. The engineer had received his or
ders, but when he reached switch he had
a premOutiou there was something wrong
and he JUrucd in on the side track. His
train was scarcely ont of the way when
the express thundered 10y.
The next day the operator went to the
superintendent of the road and told him
what had happened, at the same time
handing III his resignation. The manager
looked al him for a moment and then
said: GO back to your work. my boy
This experience has been "A lesson for YOU

HONOLULU TALENT.
The following is an extract of a
letter sent from San Francisco:

The following is an extract of a
letter sent from San Francisco:
SIT is with pride that I inform
you of the advancement of some
Honolulu boys abroad, who were
taught and trained in our schools.
Master Robert Isaac Moore, who at
tended Fort street school for six
years under Prof. NJ. M. Scott, has
just graduated from the University
of California College Of Dentistry,
out of senior class of thirty-three
members. He has, at the final ex-
aminations, proved himself to be one
of the profoundest students, a splen-
did operator and the best mechanical
workmen of the graduating class,
coming out number one. This has
been conceded him by his classmates,
as the faculty have ruled not to
make distinction. According to DR..
Moore's own words, he owes his sue
cess more to Prof. NJ. NJ. Scott's
early teachings and his ever kind en-
enlargement than to anything else.
The foundation laid by Prof. Scott
at Fort street school has been built
on with the above results, and l am
sure his old teacher will be proud to
see one of his Honolulu boys afix to
his name the title of d. D. S., honor
ably won by close study and hard
work. I also hear of Master Phil l..
Frear, formerly of Honolulu, gradu-
ating with DIR. Moore, and one of the
brightest students of the same
class"

Supreme Court Items.

The January Term of the Supreme
Court commenced yesterday morning,
Judge McCully presiding. With the
exception of assigning cases for trial,
nothing of Importance happened.
A libel case against John E. Bush
was dismissed for want of prosecu-
ton. Four cases of housebreaking
charged to "Barefooted Bill' were
also dismissed, for the reason that the
Acknowledgement thought the pres
ent sentence to be served by the
notorious burglar was punishment
enough.
An individual named L. Hoapili
charged with vagrancy was also al
lowed to go without trial.
Kerna and Laioha, charged with
maintaining a lottery, plead guilty
and asked for leniency on the part of
the Court. They We're fined $500 each
and COSTS.
A number of defendants were ar
raigned and pleaded. The Court adj
journed until this morning.

.Marceau's Prize.

Mr.. A. @. Wall the lucky winner
OF the valuable prize donated the
Hawaiian Rifle Association by Col.
Theo. G. Marceau, the well-known
photographer of San Francisco,
sends an order by the steamer Aus
tralia to-day to have his mothers
photograph enlarged.
Mr.. Wall has good reason to be
proud of his prize, for he had nearly
all the good shots of the city trying
hard for the same.
The citizens match was quite ex-
citing from start to finish, and we
believe it was the Marceau prize
that brought the scores up to the
highest that has been made here in
any such match.
We congratulate the young win.
ner for he can surely expect a first
class portrait, for Theo. Marceau
does none but the very best work.

EVERYBODY
EATS
CRACKERS.

Everybody eats crackers and conse-
quently anything relating to their
manufacture and sale is of general in
terest. There was a time in the his
tory of the business when crackers
were all about the same. One brand
was just about as good as another and
none of them were good enough to be
any great temptation to g. delicate
stomach. That time has passed. 1t
was a good many years ago. The
crackers of the present generation are
as different as day from night. There
are good crackers and bad crackers
fresh crackers and stale crackers; and
of the whole lot, stale crackers are
the worst.
There are some grocers in the coun-
try who sell stale, unpalatable crack
ers because they can get them cheap
and make a big profit on them. They
think their customers don't know the
difference and by and by, when their
cracker trade is all gone, and they
don't sell box in week, they look
surprised and say: Funny how peo-
pies tastes change. People don't care
for crackers any more"
Don't they though? People don't
care for stale, unwholesome crackers,
that's true, but they do care for a
cracker that is pure and fresh, and
altogether delightful as an article of
food.
The American Biscuit Co.
has manufacturing capacity of 500
barrels of flour daily. This enormous
quantity it makes into a greater va
riety of goods than any other bakery
in the United States Of America, and
vet is scarcely able to fill it's orders.
It is turning out more crackers to-day
than it ever did before, and the trade
is still growing. Why is it? 1t is
simple enough. Their crackers are
the best that are made. People who
try them invariably want them again
and the grocer who sells them always
finds that they not only prove good
source of revenue to him, but make
his store popular with the people.
American Crackers
are made by skilled bakers, of the
very purest and best materials
obtainable. They are sent out of the
factory fresh from the ovens, and are
never rendered unwholesome and I'M
palatable as well by being stored in
warehouse a month or two waiting
for orders. The orders are always
waiting for the crackers. Always ask

One day a really worthy case was
presented to an old gentleman and
he felt compelled to deny himself
something and contribute the amount
saved to the purpose. So he consult
ed with his rebellious son in this wise:
Said the father, I will do without meat
for three days and give what it cost
to this object = what will you deny
yourself? The son said he did not see
how he could deny himself of any
thing, they were living as economic
ally as possible and any further deni-
al on their part would be folly. But
the father insisted that the case at
hand was very worthy one and the
son must do something. "Well," said
the son, eff must, then 1 will deny

Queer world ! Queer people ! Here are

pain, spending their all on physicians and
"getting no better, but, rather worse" when
right at hand there's remedy which says it
can help them because it's helped thousands
like them. another patent-med icine adver-
tisement," you say Yes-but not of the ordi-
nary sort. The meicine is DR.. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery, and it's different from
the ordinary nostrums in thiS:-
1t does what it claims to do, or it costs you
nothing
The way is this: You pay your druggist
81 90 for a bottle You read the directions
don't. If you do, you buy another bottle, and
perhaps another. If you don't get better, you
get your money back. And the queer thing
is that so many people are willing to be sick
when the remedy's so near at hand.
