Electric
Company

will be able to furnish all the
Light and Power the City of
Honolulu will require, and, as
we now have some six large
wiring contracts to begin on,
as soon as the ustralia gets
in with a big lot of assorted
wire, we would call the atten-
ton of those wanting ELECTRIC
LIGHTS in their Houses at an
early date to the advisabilty of
having the wiring done soon.
AS only a limited number of
good house wire men are to
be had, contracts for wiring
will have to be taken up in
turn in the order received.
After the Australia gets in
we will have a complete line
of everything needed to wire
any building, including Elec-
troliers, Brackets, ETC., and a
large assortment Of plain and
fancy Shades.
~Leave your order ear
ly and have the satisfaction Of
having your House ready for
the lights when the current is
turned on from the New Sta
ton now under way.

Once More the Dainty White 'Dessous."
Naturally the light colors and materials
now in vogue for dresses necessitate a GER
tain change in the 'dessous." With them
are now worn white muslin petticoats much
trimmed in every fantastic way with rich
vaienciennes lace. White stockings seem
gaining favor-elegant, open worked, white
silk ones with insertion of valenciennes
lace on the instep. OF course these stock
ings only look well worn with white leath-
er shoes and rich silver buckles. These
buckles are often replaced by the embossed
silver initial of the wearer inserted in a
white satin or leather bow.
But for general wear there is nothing
more stylish than a black ''dessous." For
instance, black gauze stays trimmed with
light blue satin and a multitude of black
gauZe skirts all trimmed with chicoree
ruchings of blue faille. With this should
be worn polished black leather shoes and
black lace rosettes, and the initial in tur-
quoises-c'est lie dernier cri.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Petroleum to Cure Diphtheria.

Paris medical mon continue to give
their opinions vaguely on the treat
ment of diphtheria by petroleum as
carried out by Doctor Flahout, pro-

Fauvel, celebrated throat specialist,
says that in pulmonary maladies the
application of pure petroleum has pro-
duced splendid results. Moreover,
during the American war of secession

Digging Fish From the Ground.

In monograph on the anatomy and
physiology OF the African lungfish, By
Professor w. N. Parker, we have novel
statements as to the habits of these
singular animals, which are the types
of a primitive group standing nearly
midway between Ganoid fishes and
Amphibians. rhe material was OBJ
tanned in Germany, having been re-
ceived alive direct from the Gambia
River. While in the torpid condition
about hundred specimens were dug
out, each surrounded by clod OF
mud, the clods being packed in open
crates and forwarded to Freiburg. Ii
is well known that these fish, which
reach four feet in length, bury them
selves in the mud during the dry
season, where, by their moveme nts,
they form a sort Of cell or nest in
which they live in torpid state,
breathing by their lungs till the rains
raise the river, when they swim about
actively, respiring by their gills. This
fish is said to live to great age, and
some specimens have been found six
feet long. Its South american ally,
Lepidosiren, is said to attain a length
Of three feet. New York Independent.
