THE STAR AND BULLETIN.

The Bulletin, late royalist paper,
has thrown its rather soiled royalist
clothing into ditch, and now appears
in a new suit, which has, like many
ready-made suits, some figures pinned
on it, which indicate the price of the
purchase, but they are not very in
telligible. 1t has now put on pair
of Republican boots, which are new,
and squeak and pinch badly, and it
has to remove them constantly, in
order to treat Its royalistic corns,
which give it rather a Iimping mo-
ton. In the meantime, while it is
trying to pick up some convictions, it
has cordially joined the Star in max
ing it "hot" for the ADVERTISER.
These mental and spiritual twins
are rather frantic over the ADvER-
Users views, and both have called
"halt" on it.
Like the famous Siamese twins,
Chang and Ing, they are together for
better or worse. Chang didn't drink,
but Ing did; so when Ing got full, he
filled up Chang in spite of himself.
So the Chang-Star and the Ing-Bul-
letin, whenever tie ADVERTISER is
in sight, equaliZe the alcohol of abuse
between them, and merrily keep I'M
steady steps to the same music. The
ADVERTISERS office cat is rather
puzzled over this new manifestation,
in our politics, but is quite equal to
any feeble emergency which they may
create.
At the same time Chang and Ing,
owing to other political differences,
are frequently and furiously calling
"halts" on each other, and this pre-
vents progress, and, besides, confuses
the cat.

In Honolulu as in every
other locality there is more OF
less desire for having ice in a
convenient locality at night
and it is not always a pleasant
task to get to the refrigerator
which is usually kept some dis
lance from the bedroom. A
company in New York is
manufacturing a metallic ar
rangement suitable for hold
ing ice, bottles, ETC., and orna-
mented so as to make a handy
piece of furniture for a room.
Any one familiar with night
thirsts will appreciate the value
of a thing like this. The
mother of very young children
will appreciate it because it
obviates the necessity Of go

wood and polished, not var

of the shuttle and for thread

child can handle it as easy as a
grown person. 1t sews three
distinct stitches, chain, lock
and combined lock and chain
by the simple turning of a
thumb screw. The tables
have the drop leaf and six
drawers and you can get the
whole business for less than
you pay for a sewing machine

GOLDFISH THAT ARE TAME

The Place In the Irish Channel
Where They Seek to be Fed.
At Logan, near the Null of Gallo
way, there is most interesting tidal
fish pond. A rent in the cliffs facing
the Irish channel admits the salt water
through a narrow fissure, protected by
a grating, into a circular rock basin,
some thirty feet in diameter and TWEEN
ty feet deep.
The cliffs rise high all around; stone
steps descend on one side to ledge
leyeled into a footpath at the waters
edge. No sooner does the visitors foot
fall resound on the stairs than the
green water, hitherto mohonless and
apparently Ifeless, becomes peopled
with large brown fish, rising from the
depths, gliding and dashing about in a
great state Of excitement. These are
cod, lythe and saithe, which, caught
on lines in the sea, have been trans
ferred to this pond to be fattened for
the table. They are fed daily by the
keeper, and experience has taught them
to connect the sound of footsteps with
their mealtme.
Formerly, a clapper used to be rung
to summon them, but this was no more
than stage trick; the football on the
stone is quite enough to awaken them
to activity. Most Of the cod, being
deep-water fish, become totally blind in
captivity from excess Of light; but they
become so tame and accustomed to
their keeper as not only to feed out of
bis hand, but some Of them allow them
selves to be lifted out Of the water.
One may witness the strange sight
Of huge cod, more than an ell long,
dangled on the knee like baby, his
mouth stuffed with mussels and lin
pets, after which he Is returned to the
water with a mighty splash. On the
table these fish, thus tended and fed,
prove much better than fish brought

Is believed that the present trouble is
the outcome Of the recent activity of
Japan in forcing Corea to adopt num-

much greater than those of China.
The rebellion in the interior, which at
one time threatened to lead to the fall

his mother and sisters; and, later on,
a family Of little orphaned nephews

Dolly was the first to say they must

it would be for Robert to take care of
them all. He left school and worked

had remained in her aunt's homo,
helping with the children at first, and
afterward working down town; for
her aunt's daughters needed every

herself.

The Chinese have not yet gone to
war with modern firearms aud fought
according to modern Western methods.
When they fought the English to stop
the opium traffic their arms were not
dissilnilar to those the English had
used 200 years before. Their bows
and arrows were probably more effect
i've than their firearms, says the New
York World
But Their equipment was at least
picturesque. They carried banners
BEARING representations Of green drag
ons and other terrible creatures and
also huge umbrellas. Many Of the SOL

their persons. Their shields were also
painted with alarming things. They
