When you make up your mind
to spend money you naturally look
to the best market. That means
the market where you get the best
value for your outlay; when one
article is not sold below cost and
another at a big proht-when you
know everything is uniform and at
the prevailing market price, Judi
cious buyers always do this. Bar
gain hunters come to us i'll time
and become judicious buyers. One
price and one profit leaves no doubt
in your mind, but assures you that
you will find good value for your
money. We call special attention
this week to our full line of tn
BILE CUTLERY, compris-
ing some magnificent sets of CHR
TERS, KNITES, FORKS
and SPOONS. These goods are
good goods and worth your while
to inspect-and speaking about
SPOONS-we have a FORK
and SPOON made of what is
AZTEC WARE, solid metal
used by the Aztecs of Mexico for
ornamental work. 1t is a species of
silver ware, Offering this advantage
there is no plate about it-as it is
a solid metal running the same all
through. These goods are good
goods for little money.

CONCERNING MIRRORS.
An Interesting Japanese Tale Giving an
Account of Their Invention.

Account of Their Invention.
Looking glasses OF old were highly pol
ishcd metal plates They were small and
provided with handle Grand ladies' in
trusted their mirrors to the care OF u
female slave, says nm Italian writer, whose
duty IL was to keep them clean and free
from stain or rust ana hand them to her
mistrusscs when they required them
The Chinese and Japanese formerly used
mirrors made of n simple metallic plate.
Tho Japanese had story of the invention
Of the mirror. The sun goddess they
said, once upon time got into "A great
iagc about something and retired tn u
cavern, vuwing that she would never come
ont again
As she was the mother of light her re-.
tircmcnt put the whole world in darkness
The other gods and goddesscs did all they
could in order to persuade her to come out
again and finally invented u mirror which
they placed at the entrance of the cave
The angry goddess looked at it, and,
seeing, as she thought, another goddess
whose beauty was equal to her own,
emerged, mad with jealousy, from her re-
treat, and the land was once again illu-
minated by the light of the sun.
Glass mirrors ARE supposed to- have hrCn
| first used in Sidon Like almost every
| thing else, they were very dear for long
| time after their introduction We read in
| a letter written in 1913 by Colbert to the
! Count Auvaux that even If mirrors had
| been manufactured in France at that time
nobody but the King would have been rich
enough to buy one.

An evidence of Improvement in the con
struction of cars, mentioned by The Rail
way Register, is the more extensive use Of
iron, iron plates being quito freely Gnu
plOyed, and in the case of some passenger
cars the stills and end timbers are provided
with heavy iron plates, bolted thereto for
the purpose of strengthening them to pre-
vent their being broken in case of COLI
sions, and as to the efficiency of this latter
resort the statement is made that in col
lision, where ordinarily car would be
tclescoped, such an arrangement of the
end-though the latter itself become badly
broken-will preserve the remainder of the
car and save passengers from severe in
jury. A construction such rs this which
is declared to be one that unqucstionably
saves life and property in case of wreck,
does not materially increase the cost of the
car, besides making very strong car end,

THE attention of the STAR has
been called to the fact that the
Adgertiser of this morning holds
that the American Union party
should have law passed to protect
the Minister of Interior in the
matter of awarding bids. In the
present case it may be sufficient to
call the attention of the interested
parties to the fact there is at pres
law upon the statute books OF
Hawaii covering the point at issue.
Anything further touching this
matter would necessarily partake of
the nature of political expediency.

Persons who have visited Europe, Asia
and Africa say that of all mosquitoes the
American specimen is the most energetic,
the simplest in its manners and the most
deceptive in its appearance. Its song is
not more soothing to the sleeper nor its
bill more formidable in its looks, but II
has penetrating power that puts to shame
the ram of the Campcrdown. The Amori-
can mosquito is vastly superior in the
construction of its digestive organs and
in its ability to repeat its vicious attacks.
II can work through smaller mesh and
surpasses all rivals in accuracy of aim and
skill in the selection of strategic positions,

THE awarding of the bids for
the pumping plant contract has
caused more or less of comment up
to date, and it is just probable that
much of what has been said is
wide of the mark. III awarding

eminent will very probably follow
the letter of the law and when the
award is made it will doubtless be
of such a nature as to quiet critl-

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history of
our country when the demand for inYen-
ions ana improvements in the arts and sci
ences generally was so great as now. The
convenlences of mankind in the factory
ana WORKSHOP, the household, on the farm,
ana In ofhclal life, require continual acces-
slons to the appurtenances and implements
OF eacn In order to save labor, time aud eX
pense. The political change in the admin
lstratlon of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who be-
ing on the alert, and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit the af-
fairs or government to deter him from
quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing competent
and skillful attorney to prepare and prose-
cute an application for patent. Valuable
interests have been lost and destroyed in
innumerable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel. and especially is
this advice applicable to those who adopt
the "NO patent, no pay" system. Invent
Ors who entrust their business to this class
of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the
breadth and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY,
John Wedderburn, General Manager, SIS r
street, n. W., Washington, ID. c., repre-
senting large number of important daily
and weekly papers, as well as general peri
odieals of the country, was instituted to
protect its patrons from the unsafe meth
DDS heretofore employed in this line of busi-
ness. The said Company is prepared to
take charge of all patent business entrust-
ed to it for reasonable fees, and prepares
and prOsecutes applications generally, in
Guiding mechanical inventions, design pat
ents, trade marks, labels, copyrights, inter-
ferences, infringements. validity reports,
and gives especial attention to rejected
cases. 1t is also prepared to enter into
competition with any firm in securing for
eign patents.
