AIRED for grounds, and the roads
re fairly good between streets,
.ood enough to please most any
me, but the arrangement OF the
litChcs or cutters is dcplorable.
they are so far below the level
If the road that it makes it dan
Terous, particularly at night, for
people to drive over them. 1t is .
well understood that deep gut /
ters are necessary in order to
carry off the water which flows
down the hill, and the ancicnts
used to construct bitches so
that when carriages crossed them
a broken spring was the result.
1t was rumored during that era
that the road builder was also a
carriage builder hence, the con
neCtion. In modern times and in
countries adopting modern
methods it is customary to run
the water in such places under
ground and to cover the bitches
at cross streets with heavy
planks. 1t is understood that
during the next century, some
time, the same plan will be
adopted here. There is a certain
risk in following new ideas too
closely; some people like to have
them thoroughly tried.
Christmas is over and the peo-
pie are settling down to plain
every day business and fixing up
their want list for the new year.
We have as complete a stock IN
general lines as may be found
anywhere in the Islands. To as.
certain Just what is included in
the general lines would require
your attention for several days
perhaps longer. 1t would cost
a lot of money for us to tell you
of them all in this column. We
therefore only take two or three
items at a time and dilate or
them. For instance: Today we
take stoves as starter. You
| probably never saw a better iror
stove in your life than the "Pan
sy," it's good because it is eco
nomical of fuel and is a gOoc
baker. Another point in its favor
is the fact that it burns wood OF
coal. One per cent. OF the pur
chasers of the "Pansy" have OBJ
ieCted to it because there was nc
hot water back to the stove. We
have reduced this one per cent
to nil by obtaining water backs
from the factory. This is a very
slight additional expense and
puts a cheap stove on a par with
a high priced one in the matter
OF convenience.
There are some people who
won't burn wood or coal on &C
count of the eXpense;some Of then
wouldn't use il they could get il
for nothing on account OF the
bother. We accommodate such
people in selling them Dietz Oh
Stoves. You would be aston
ished at the number of these
stoves we have sold and the test
monials we have received from
I parties using them in Honolulu
l There's a certain amount OF con
venience and economy about
them not obtained in any other
make of stove. The same sort O.
cooking may be done on Diet;
| Oil Stove as can be done on al
iron stove and perhaps a little
quicker. We haven't a large
stock of the Dietz stoves; it's i'm
possible for us to keepthem peo
| pie want them and while we have
them we sell them. If you should
call today you could get one
from us, tomorrow may be toe
late.
Haviland China is an article
in great demand by persons who
want their tables to look well
The "2Io6' we have been sell
ing for a long time, because
people admire the carnatior
pattern. Some ladies object tC
it because their neighbors have
it. To combat this we have
lately added another design
called the 34S6, beautiful thing
and bound to be go on aCCoun
of the delicaCy OF the pattern
| You cannot make a mistake il
\ ordering either of them.
| Solid silver ware is Just a,
good a buy after Christmas a

as with regular Christmas goods
Solid ware is worth SO much ;

silver spoons because they never
wear Out-there's no plating tC

down to the bone. Our stock OF
these goods is made up OF arti.
