The Clauss Bread Knife sold
by us is acknowledged to be
the. best bread knife made; it
will last longer than an ordi-
nary knife for cutting bread
because it cannot be used for
anything else. One set ofthree
knives goes to you for a dollar;
you wouldn't part with them
for $40 if you could not re-
place them.
If you believe the "ads."
you read, the Grand Rapids
Carpet Sweeper is the best
manufactured; we know from
experience that the lads"
are correct. We've sold a
great many of these sweepers
to people who have polished
floors in their houses and who
don't care to get down on their
"hunkers'' and shove a dust |

LIBERAL MEASURES THE BEST.

The Importance of the work now
being done by the Constitutional
Convention can hardly be overesti-
mated. The task of that body is
not merely to frame the organic
law, to determine the form of gov
eminent for Hawaii. As we all
look forward to a time, not far dis
tant, when the political unity of
Hawaii will be merged in the
larger unity of the United States,
the Constitution now under consid-
Grafton will probably not be per-
manent. The real Importance of
the Conventions work consists in
the fact that it is to determine the
modus vivendi for the transitional
period. It's real task is that of
reconciliation. The revolution is
over-the revolutionary period is
over. The thing to do now is to
heal the wounds of Hawaii, and Sc
cure internal peace. This can
only be accomplished by framing
a Constitution so fair and liberal
that the royalists will accept it. If
the Government established is free
in name only, if it is so devised as
to keep the party at present hold
ing the reins in absolute control for |
an indefinite number of years, it
cannot in the nature of the case be
acceptable to the people at large.
It has been very wisely and
truthfully stated that the mon
archy is dead. IF we really have
faith in this proposition it should
be shown in law-making. The age
of miracles has passed away; we
need not take a thousand precau-
tions against resurrection.
The Constitutional draft SUBJ
mitted to the Convention by the
Executive recognizes, in the main,
the truth of the principles indi-
Gated above. It's essential lines are
those of free state. At the same
Time it requires some notifications :

The proposed Advisory Council is

here does not seem to be any ne I,

Hare is a dish never seen ON . Span
ish table, because in Spain there is
superstition that hares, in the night,
go into churchyards and dig up the
graves and eat the dead bodies. A
writer in the Munchcuer Zeitung. who
recently spent some time shooting in
Castillo, where game is very plentiful.
relates how he was convinced of the
fact that hares do eat flesh. He had
been told so by the country people. but
had treated their assertion as ridicu-
lous fiction The next time he found
himself in a party of sportsmen~ he re-
peated what he had heard as a. joke:
but, to his surprise, every one listened
quite gravely, and assured him that il
was perfectly true; they themselves
had frequently seen hares eating flesh.
As he still expressed doubts on tho sub
ject. however. one Of the company Of
fered to bet him fifty litres of wine

4 Physician's Reasons for Advising That u

Some fatal cases of diphtheria recent.

ally intelligent physician, who imme-
diately set about searching for the
cause The drainage was per-

here. as far as could be discov.
erec. The sanitary conditions were all
that could be desired. The youngsters
had all been in unusually good health.
and for time the research seemed to
be likely to meet with no satisfactory
results.
At length, by accident, some remark
was made about barrel of apples re.
ceived not long before from friend up
country. The doctor asked to sec the
fruit. selected a couple Of specimens at
random and carried them away for OK
animation. Microscopic investigation
revealed the presence of great numbers
of specks, that proved to be various
species of fungi, among which were
clearly defined germs identical in
general character with those found
in diphtheritic conditions Uuwill-
ing to criticise without full knowl-
edge, the doctor made a trip to. the
place whence the apples came and in.
vestigatcd tho surroundings. There
was nothing Objectionable there, and
then began a systematic overlooking
of the apples from various localities II
appears that those kept in cellars at
the ordinary temperature were fire..

that they were a species OF
mold, and not particularly dan
gerous unless they came in con-
tact with favorable surroundings.

tract the disease in violent form
which might prove fatal A pecu.
liarity of this state of things
seems to he that while the dis
eased germs from the apples caused
only an occasional case, as soon
as the malady had developed in the hu.
man system it acquires greatly in
creased virulence! and it was thought
that these germs. like many others.
were comparatively harmless. save in
exceptional cases. when they developed
with frightful rapidity and formed a

disease was likely to spread through

1t is fact we'll understood by many
people that fruit that is handled by

sorts of atmospheres and exposed to nc

oughly washed before it is eaten. But
it is no unusual thing to see persons
eating fruit on the streets or in public
places where the air may be charged
with the germs of contagious diseases
of all sorts. Lodging upon the juicy
surface of partly eaten apple, it is Al

he seemed to get along frst-rste until

and assaulted his physicians. throwing
four of them downstairs. He doesn't
recognize his wife, and claims that he,
alone and unassisted, can lay out any
seven men in the hospital If he is not
molested by the police. He also speaks
with a strong Irish accent. and has

The chief surgeon reached behind
him for his handkerchief and wiped the

of a man whose confidence has been
abused.

The Trend Of Fsshicp.

1t is a singular thing to observe how
the general trend of fashion, even in
its EXTREMIST whim. is similar in its
styles for men and for women. When
the latter wear pull backs" or bell
skirts" it will be noticed that the
former usually don the long closely
fitting coat and narrow trousers When
wide sleeves and full skirts come in for
feminine attire, with them are, for
masculinity, ovcrcoats with capes and
wide Tapping trousers So, now as il
is customary for women to comb the
front hair down in thick and wavy
mass over the ears, it follows that men
should not delay to cover up their ears,
likewise. by letting their hair grow
long and heavy and parting it in the
same bushy lovelockS 1t is period
