The Christmas number of Scribner's Maya
zine always has some artistic novelty, and this
year it is a series of twelve full-page illuStra-
tions by Oliver Herford for fantastic story,
entitled The kaleidoscope of Time, by Brander
Matthews. The Illustrations are printed in q
delicate tint which is interviewer with the clear
black text and flows out into the margins of
the page The whole effect IS something entire
ly new in magazine illustration. Mr. Matthew's
story is equally original in conception and is a
fitting companion to his Primer of Imaginary
Geography published last year. The short
stories in this number are remarkable for their
ingenuity in plot and for their delicate senti-
ment Frank r. Stockton has Christmas
love-story, with the Characteristic title "The
Staying Power OF Sir Rohan"-which is in his
very best manner. The illustrations by Peter
Newell exactly suit the quaint conceits that
characterize Mr. Stockton'S style. In an en-
tirely different manner is Charles E. Carryl's
thrilling detective story, "The River Syndi-
cate (Which suggests the best work of Sher-
lock Holiness. The action of the story is in
London, and it is illustrated by the excellent
English artist, l.. Raven Hill. Joel Chandler
Harris, whose stories are too seldom seen, has
a most characteristic tale of faithful slave,
full of touches of hOmely pathos. 1t is entitled
THE Colonel's Ngger-Dog. '"

WIN. @. IRWIN 81 Co, LTD, HONOLULU
GENTLEMEN--Th mill has been running dur.
ing the past two weeks with the National
Cane Shredder lately installed, giving the
most satisfactory results.
Our mill consists of three sets of two roll
lers, 80 in. dia. by ~ in. long, the shredder
discs being 3 ft. 7 in. long, driven by an
automatic engine IL in. dia. cylinder by IA
in. stroke
The Rattoon cane being milled Is as hard
as il is possible for cane to be, having been
subjected to n severe drought during the
whole period of its growth, and growing on
land with trade wind exposure. Our ex-
perience with the Shredder, particularly with
above cane, proves it to be just what our
mills required, the shredded cane being better
prepared to have its juice extracted than for
merly after passing through the first mill
The first mill is now allowed to open 9-l6 in.
instead of u in as formerly, so that the trash
now leaves the first mill, better ground, than
it formerly did the second, and this without
the old timed groaning, choking, and strain
ing of the machinery.
Behind the first and second mills we apply
hot water, the quantity for the past ~ days
as per statement attached, has averaged 35
per cent. on the total juice from the cane.
The trash from the last mill is cut up much
finer than before the Shredder was applied,
mi ch of it resembling saw dust, it contains
as per statement 80 per cent. of moisture and
makes good fuel, the juice from the last mil
stands degrees Brix., so that the moisture
in the trash il of D per cent. sugar solution.
The Boilers make steam much easier than
BEFORE now care has TO he taken to keep them
from blowing off, whereas before great care
was necessary to keep the steam from going
too low when the Pan was on.
By the use of the Shredder we have dis
pensed with six men, formerly necessary TO
distribute the cane on the carrier, feed the
first mill, and throw back the long pieces.
The Shredder Machinery is a good sub
stantial JOB. and should cause little or no
trouble. as it is subjected to but light strains.
You will see that by applying the Shred
very materially mproved-obtaining a
better extraction at less expense than former
ly. The great improvement in our steam,
causes much satisfaction to those engaged in
the Mill.
Yours Respectfully,

PICTURES AND MUSIC.
THESE WE'RE THE ATTRACTIONS
AT THE n. q. u. DRILL SHED.
Purpose of the Series is
Now Assured.

The stereopticon entertainment
given by Captain Cochrane and Mr..
Hedemann at the drill shed Satur-
/ day evening was patronized by a
large and intelligent audience.
Receipts were a little more than on
the previous occasion, and it will be
gratifying to all to know that am
pie funds are in hand to purch Sc
the new instruments for the leper
band.
The entertainment was, to say
the least, highly instructive. After
a glimpse of several American war
vessels, the trip to Southern Europe
was resumed. Gibraltar, the key
to the Mediterranean, with its forti
fed promontorv, was projected
upon the screen. Next, of course,
came Spain's great show, the Al
hambra. The courts, architecture,
columns aud the interior were
shown.
A short visit to Malta with its old
Notifications, and the audience was
taken to Nice, in Southern France.
A glimpse of Paris and a jump was
made to Naples and Vesuvius.
Here the volcano was seen by day
and by night. From Naples,
Florence and then Venice were
visited. Next came Alexandria
with view of the late lombard
ment. This was followed by
Egyptian scenes accompanied by
Egyptian music. A few japanese
scenes and then the audience re-
turned home.
The music deserves special men
ton. Prof. Berger's ochestra fol-
lowed the course Of tn" lecture
appropriately interspersi 6 nation |
airs. The Sarrafrau, the Russian
national anthem, was reproduced
by special request. The Young
Hawaiians Institute sang two ma
tive songs which were heartily re-
ceived. Mr.. Ordway's orchestra
played a couple of pieces, and
"Swanee River" was beautifully
rendered by Messrs. Ordway, Gran
dali and Hennessey with a banjo
and guitars.
The entertainment lasted more
than two hours. 1t is not impro.
bable that it will be repeated foi
the benefit Of Kawaiahao church.
Band Concert.
The Government band under the
leadership of Prof. Berger will give
concert at Emma Square this
evening at 1880 o'clock. Following
