show that he takes an interest in
you. Among no other civilized
people is the secret of happy living
SO thoroughly recognized; by no
other race is the truth go widely
understood, that our pleasure in
this life must depend upon the hap
piness of those about rs, and, con-
sequently, on the cultivation IN
ourselves of unselfishness and pa
thence.
If the theory of social intercourse
practiced by the Japanese is cor
rect, we should adopt it without
delay. Professor Scott says that
Hearn's statements are true, and
that even Sir Harry Parkes, for
merly British Minister to Japan,
adopted it to the extent that he
laughed quite immoderately, while
informing a woman of the sudden
death of her husband.
The Board of Education is quite
competent to introduce this social
art into our public schools, and
Professor Hosmer, who is always
enterprising, might make it part
of the regular course in Oahu Col
lege. Even the Hawaiian Missions
Children's Society might, if there
ever should be any monotony In
their proceedings, give selections"
in the art. He would indeed be an
enthusiast, who should expect that
clergymen, in the pulpit, and on
funeral occasions, would announce
sad events with an hyenistic laugh.
And it would require much self
deception for the lawyers to listen
to decisions against them by the
Judges, accompanied with a wild
shout of hilarity.
But, modified Japanese smile
might be adopted, as an entering
wedge to more refined and sensi-
tive social life.

RAPID TRANSIT TO HAWAII.

There is no valid reason for not
having a passenger service be-
tween Honolulu and Hilo, which
will leave this place in the morn
ing and reach Hilo in the evening,
or make the trip In about twelve
hours. What are known as the
English Channel boats, running at
a speed of twenty miles or more an
hour, can do it. Such speed is
costly, of course, but the Govern
ment should subsidise the under
taking because it wilt increase the
value of property for taxation. If
Honolulu is to remain the bust
ness, as we'll as the political capital
of the islands, the closer and
quicker the connection is made
with other places in the group, the
better it will be for the trade of
the city. The tendency is, by a
law of trade, to develop Hawaii
and Hilo at the expense of Homo
lulu, and this tendency can be
checked only by cheap and rapid
transit. Aside from the purely
business view, it is of great
importance to make the voyage
from this city to Hawaii as short
as possible, in order to encourage
tourists to visit the volcano. While
tourists praise without stint the
magnifcence of the scenes on Ha-
wall, they are Disguised with the
discomforts of the voyage. The
steamers are admirably managed,
but our rough channels make it
very disagreeable, and only great
speed can limit the misery of the
passage. A swift boat, carrying
only passengers, mails, and light
express matter, and, stopping for
few moments only at Maalaea bay,
will accomplish the purpose, and
as it is a matter of national i'm
portance, it should be subsidized if
necessary. We will stand some
taxation, in order to prevent
throwing square meals" into the
sea.

TIE JAPANESE SMILE.

Lafacadio Hearn, in his "Glimp-
ses of Unfamiliar Japan" dis
courses on the smile of the Japan
csc. 1t is an elaborate and long
cultivated etiquette, and a silent
language. It is cultivated with the
same exquisiteness, that is shown
in the cultivation of the natural
tendencies of a garden plant. The
smile is taught like the bow; like
the prostration like the little sibi-
liant sucking in of the breath, which
follows as a token of pleasure, the
salutation of a superior. To present
the most agreeable face possible to
parents, relatives, teachers, friends,
and well-wishers, is rule of life.
The Japanese smiles even in the
teeth of death. Although the heart
is breaking, it is a social duty to
smile. Cultivated from childhood
as a habit, the smiles soon become
instructive. In the mind of the
poorest peasant lives the conviction
that to express ones personal sor-
row or pain or anger, is rarely use
useful, and always unkind. 1t is
the native custom, that whenever a
painful or shocking fact must be
told, the announcement should be
made by the sufferer, with smile,
though, of course, the reverse rule
is observed in condoling with the
sufferer. The graver the subject,
the more accumulated the smile,
and when the matter is very un-
pleasant to the person speaking of
it, the smile often changes into a
low, soft laugh. A woman, who
has lost her child, tells of it with
smile. The laugh is carried to the
utmost point of self-abnegation.
So refined is the politeness of
the Japanese, no one speaks of him
self, unless PRESSED to do so, be-
cause it is not good-breeding. On
the other hand he questions you
closely about yourself, go as to

AS for as the man who watched her
with the anxiety he could not conceal,
what was his wealth to him now?
"AIerciful Heavens!" was his thought;
she weeps, and / would give my mil
lions to bring back the smile on that
fair face. What can have changed
her thus?"
Suddenly the fair girl pauses and
gazes responsibility at him. douglas

which you are environed."

Il
we have had during the past
few weeks would have a de-
pressing effect upon the sale
of Aermotors. 1t has not. A
half dozen men, interested on
different sugar plantations and
who have suffered consider
able loss owing to the long
drought of last summer have
| decided to use Aermotors to
pump water for irrigation.
Work was began on
one out by Kamoiliili on
and the others will be
put up in their turn.
These gentlemen selected the
Aermotor because it has been
tried and proven the only mill
that will operate pumps large
enough for irrigation purposes.
We do not know of any other
windmill that will supply as
much water in as light a wind
as the Aermotor.
The Aermotor is doing the
heavy lead this week and
aluminium the light comedy.
We believe this is the lightest
strong material for almost any
purpose to which metal is put.
The sauce pans and fry pans
made of it are quite as servic-
able as either iron Or agate
ware, the sleeve links as
strong, possibly stronger than
gold or silver. At a dollar a
pair they beat anything the
world ever saw. A whiskey
flask in aluminium and covered
with a cord net is as unique
an article as we have had in
fancy goods.
A popular field glass in
France and England is known
as the Erred Archer" 1t
has twelve lenses and is
extremely powerful. We have
a few pairs which are indis-
pensible to the man who
travels or visits the race track.
We have sold what is consid-
cred the finest glass made but
we fail to see where they
equal the Fred Archer"
Cut glass has always had a
prominent place with US and
as the demand warrants it we
add to the stock. We have
Just received some very choice
inexpensive pieces suitable for
table use. Everyone knows
the value of cut glass just as
they do the value of laces. We
have been careful to select
servicable low priced articles,
something within the reach Of
anyone who wants such things.
Our stock of lamps this
year excels anything of the
kind ever shown in Honolulu.
The styles are different, the
decorations more pleasing and
the prices lower than any we
have ever had. The collection
of onyx tables is more at
tractive than usual and just
what is wanted by people who
believe in artistic decorations
in their homes.
An easy chair that may he
arranged in any reclining pos
ition imaginable has been on
sale in the United States for
the past year or two with great
success. We have a couple
of these chairs for people who
want comfort after a hard days
work. If you never saw one
of these stand-up-and-lie down
chairs come and see ours.
