ARTIFICIAL PARAsI1lsM.
CRANKY People Who Are Dovoured by
Imaginary Creatures.


Imaginary Creatures.
"Cranks bother us occasionally. :" said
Entomologist Howard, of the depart
mcnt OF agriculture, to a Washington
Star writer. "a man down in Florida
recently sent us word that he was in
great distress of mind. While he was
bathing in the ocean horrible sea
centipede' had got into his ear. Not
withstanding the utmost efforts made
by physicians whom he had called in,
the creature still remained there and
occasioned him the most dreadful
agony, clawing ut the drum of the ear
and the delicate membranes within the
passages. .
This was very unpleasant, of course,
and 1T had finally occurred TO him that
the bureau of entomology of Washing-
ton might suggest remedy. Recently,
lie said. the centipede had begun to
shed legs, a number of which he had
preserved: Unless he obtained relief
he said he was convinced that he would
soon go crazy.
1--WE wrote to him, saying that we
would be glad if he would send us some
OF the legs which the centipede was al
legged to have shed. He responded by
sending us a few particles of skin and a
dozen or SO Of such small hairs as grow
within the external opening of the ear.
Among these specimens there was not
TO be found any sign of legs of any in
sect or other creature. 1t was as we
had supposed, the mans complaint was
simply imaginary.
"A similar case occurred not long ago
in which the sufferer was an elderly
gentleman living ABROAD whose son
sent to him from this country copies OF
certain American newspapers. He
wrote that these publications had evi-
dently carried with them throurh
the mails some dreadful parasites.
which had attacked him and were caus.
ing him the utmost misery. Physicians
who had been called in had declared
that there wa nothing the matter, be-
ing evidently ignorant OF this particular
kind of imported parasites. At our re-
quest he sent to us IN exhibit, which
proved to be only little scurf, such as
might be scratched from the body of o.
healthy person. OF course it was mere
ly delusion.
"This is q very peculiar form of de-
lusion, and it is not altogether unccrn-
mon. 1t has been called by tho cele-
brated DR.. blanchard. of Paris. 'fs.lsc
parasitism.' Victims of it imagine that
they are attacked by parasites of vari
GUS Kinds and suffer all the horror;
which imagination equally with actual
physical torture can inlict."

BACKWARD,''

May be a pleasing pastime, but
we take more pleasure in Looking
Forward to the time when the
growing population Of Honolulu will
all become convinced that they can
buy Drugs and Toilet Articles for
Il hours each day, from $50 A. NJ. to
$50 P. N. at our New Store.
The last steamer from Australia
brought Us an invoice of goods,
which included some Pears Soap.
You have already formed an opinion
as to its merits We know thousands
who have rendered a verdict in its
favor it is on trial in our store.
There are some things soap can
not remove, but our Velvet Pumice
Stone, put up in attractive little
blocks, will remove ink stains, dis
celebrations and callous skin, leaving
the hands beautifully soft and
clearly. Sometimes you've had your
hands feel very rough and gritty.
It's a very unpleasant sensation
which can be avoided by having a
jar Of our Cold Cream and apply to
the affected members. Sunburn and
chapped hands and faces will be
soothed and refreshed after using
this remedy.
We keep Powders Most of them
harmless, especially the Complexion
Powders. We have all the popular
makes-Pozzoni. Lablache, Swans
down and others. Tooth-powders :
Oriental, Thurston's, Lyons, Cald-
er's-all good preparations for the
teeth. Tooth-powders are of little
account unless you have good
Brush we believe ours are the best
in the town. Toothpicks, too, either
wood or quill, can be had at our
store.
There are more people in Homo
lulu than any other town Of its size
who keep horses. But sometimes
they don't keep-they die. We know
that there is danger at this season of
the year. Animals should be kept
in healthy state, and there is moth
ing better than giving them our
Alternative Condition Powders to
prevent sickness

ment Of Mr.. Kaaukai. Mr.. Emme-
luth has withdrawn and Mr.. Water
hous stands as the sole iudepend-
ent candidate against Mr.. Neu-
mann. Doubtless it would have
been more satisfactory if & some
what different adjustment Of the
opposing forces had been possible,
if the Mechanics had accepted Mr..
Halstead in place of Mr.. Neumann,
and if Mr.. Waterhouse had run for
Representative 10 the Fourth Dis
trict. Mr.. Neumann, like the thor
ough gentleman We once supposed
him to be, has publicly stated that
he would have cheerfully reliu-
pushed his own claims. But the
blind obstinacy of the National
Party has refused every compro-
mise, thereby assuming the risk
and the responsibility Of defeat.
Mr.. Waterhouse may not have
been wise in declining a compro-
mise. Very likely be anticipated
that none would be possible. At
any rate he now stands, and his
candidacy is just and proper pro-
test against the indifference
or contempt with which the
National Party has treated the
conservative element Of the com
munity-an element without whose
support it cannot elect candidate.
This element will now rally
solidly around Mr.. Waterhouse
and will poll a heavy vote. Let
every voter who values principle in
politics 60 to the polls and deposit
his ballot for Mr.. Waterhouse.
Every such vote is valuable
whether it elects or not. Every
such vote will be protest against
the attempt of the few to control
the many; against the policy of
making nominations without con-
sulting the wishes, rights and in
terests of the major part Of the con-
stituency, with the expectation
then of whipping the people into
line, lest, forSooth, worse thing
befal them.

IN ANOTHER column are published
the statistics of the Postal Savings
Bank for the year 1891. They
show that the balance On hand at
the opening Of the year 1891 was
s1,O13,632.08. The deposits during
the year amounted to $706,O19.T,
and the Withdrawals to S795, 547.52.
The balance on hand December 81,
1891, is given as 1868, 35420, or
about $4,000 less than it was on
the first day Of the same year.
This excess Of Withdrawals was
probably caused by the stringency
Of the money marked during the
last half of 1891, depositors finding
more lucrative investments for their
money than the interest paid by
the Postal Savings Bank.

a WORD TO CONSERVATIVE VOTERS.

That Mr.. Henry Waterhouse is
q candidate who possesses the thor
ough confidence Of conservatives.
Is beyond a doubt. That they feel
q confidence in HIM which they do
not feel in Mr.. Neumann is IN like
manner statement beyond
the reach Of cavil. Nevertheless,
there are probably few of these
voters who are in doubt rs to
whether they shall follow their in
stincts and preferences in regard to
these candidates, simply because
they have an idea that a vote for
Mr.. Waterhouse is q vote for a
Liberal, while q vote for Mr.. Neu-
mann is not.
This idea is an error. Mr. Water
house is sure to poll a vote large
enough to make impossible the
election of the National Reform
candidate running against him,
unless indeed that candidate draws
q vote from the Liberals. Mr..
Waterhouse is running against Mr..
Neumann. Every vote therefore
cast for Mr.. Neumann, as long as
Mr.. Waterhouse is in the field, is
also vote for n Liberal. Reform
votes given to Mr.. Neumann are
in very truth given away. They
will represent q sacrifice of princi
pie for nothing. If you will sci
yourself to the devil, for heavens
sake stipulate for a good price.
One other urgent suggestion, J
n. S. Williams is q thoroughly
good nominee. Hon. j. y. Cummini
is also far better than the Liberal
against whom he is pitted. If Nj
Warehouses; candidacy draw
votes from these two men, and s,
helps to elect Liberals, it will be
public misfortune. There is onl,
one way to avoid this. Do no
give any play to mere persona
preferences involving no question
of principle, but vote the straigh
ticket at the head Of this column
a last word. Show the strength
Of the conservative vote. Go t,
the polls, every man, vote for Nj
Waterhouse and elect him.

some pleasanter expression.
Do you have much trouble
in broiling your steaks ? We
want to say a few words to
our constituents who do,
Those of you who use a
Fischer Range need not listen
because they are far away
from difficulty when it comes
to cooking. We want to
whisper to the people who
have plain every day iron
stoves. Recently we received
almost a cargo of Broilers,
especially adapted for use in
the cheaper grade Of stove.
They are SO constructed that
every drop of the essence of
the beef is secured and in
stead of the dried up, taste
less morsel that is sometimes
set before you you get a deli
cious piece of steak that will
have the effect of adding a
month to your existence.
Cold weather chiIls the
ardor of the Refrigerator man
but it don't keep the Provis-
ions. We've not talked Re
frigerator to You for a long
time and a few words now
won't hurt. Nowadays ice is
ice; you want a Refrigerator
that will keep your daily sup
ply Of ice and provisions
about as long as it is possible
to do so. You want one that
will do this, and at the same
time be pleasing to the eye.
We think we have them that
combine beauty with utility.
We believe our customers
when they volunteer the infor-
nation that the Refrigerators
or Ice Chests which they have
| bought from us are the best
they ever used. The one with
the ice water tap attachment
is particularly convenient and
we commend it to you. Ten
pounds of ice a day will keep
| your meats in excellent condi-
ton and give you an abund-
ant supply of ice water with
out being obliged to break the
ice.
The arrangement of tools
in our mauka window gives
you the suspicion Of an idea
that we have a pretty good
assortment of tools in stock.
1t is only recently that we have
devoted any special attention
to this line; we were forced
into it by the constant inquiries
for tools of different descrip-
tons. The assortment is al
most complete but we will add
to it from time to time until
you will be able to get any
thing you want. We think
our method of supplying the
public with articles is as salts
factory to you as to US.

strict injunctions not to open it until a

all of the negroes in certain town and
see that the deeds were properly re-

There must have been fully 5000 of
them, and the whites became seriously
alarmed, knowing nothing. of the cause
that brought them. The day wore on,
and at sunset the Government agents
had not appeared.
"At last an old dsrkey smelling q

NOT n BOOM TOWN.
The Citizens of Bluefield, w. Va, Have
Confidence In Their City.
BLUEFIELD, w. Va, Aug

BLUEFIEID, w. Va, August /.
To THE EDITOR OF The TINES: have
rarely found more confident people
than the citizens of Bluefeld. In fact
1 am forcibly reminded of the early
days of Roanoke. The whole com
munity seems to be imbued with the
belief that right here on top of the
mountain, there is going to be city,
and you can safely pin your faith to that
of whole community. l think l can
prophesy "big time" coming for Blue
field.
AS 1 remarked in one Of my former
letters from this place, the Norfolk and
Western has its shoulder to the wheel
here, and whatever this great corpora
ton touches turns into gold.
The people are, however, very par
ticular to have it understood that they
never had BOOM" and more anxious
to convey the intelligence that they
don't want a boom, but 1 rarely ever
saw it fail that when people were so in
dependent and not at all anxious to sell
that the woods wero full of buyers as
soon as those "in the woods" found out
that such state Of affairs existed
There may never be boom in Blue
field, but there is going to be some
thing powerfully like it," You may
call it by any other name you like and
win the dollars just the same.
But mustn't talk too much about
dollars" and big times" and booms,'
for l find myself growing excited, and
might be tempted to write prospec tus
and run over to Roanoke on a ''scheme. +"
No, we must be calm, we must be con-
servativeiand level headed; look wise and
say nothing. But Bluefield is a daisy. {"
