1t may sound egotistical, but we

Oak is the style oftenest selected
Tor the same reason as given re-
garding China closets, but with
our stock there is no limit as to

1t is all the same, we can supply
them in twenty odd styles. We
have them with or without toilets;
plain top and with either German

polished or vanished surface.

fflUR aim since the or
Sganization of the firm
has been to supply the
people of Honolulu with
first class furniture at Il
u e d iu m price. Th Q
growth of the business is
the best evidence we can
offer as a verificotion
that we have never di-
verged from our motto.
In this advertisement
we call your attention in
a general way to the var.
ious articles of furniture
we carry by submitting |
a few designs of pieces
that should be in every |
home.
CHINA CLOSETS are as
in demand as bed
steads, they are no long
er in the list of luxuries;
the craze for collecting
odd bits of China or brio
a brac, and the desire to
keep them IN a conven-
lent place for showing
to one S friends, has made
the China closet indis-
pensable. We have them
in various styles, single
or double, for wall or
corner. Those in an
tique oak are fashionable
because they are service
able, the durability of
the finish on oak has the
effect of making them al
ways appear new.

morning tall young negro led a
strengthening animal down to this
stream to drink. It had the body of a
burro. One had to look twice to deter
mine what was wrong with it. Its ears
We're clipped close to it's head. Imagine
a donkey without it's great, tapping,
expressive ears. Somehow it reminded
one Of an armless man or any other I'M

The absence of ears gave the burro a
pathetic look and detracted from his in
telligence. A burro without ears to
prick backward and forward in ''earch
Of alarming sounds is, indeed, unhappy.
When the burro had finished drinking
the negro drove him mp the hill to the
street, walking behind and slapping it
with the end of long rope.
How Gid the burro lose his ears?"
asked the man who always wants to
know. The negro looked at his Ques-

Loaded Him with Change.

A street car conductor told good
story about man who tried to fool
him. This passenger was aware that
the conductor had but few dollars in
change in his pocket on the first trip
every morning. So two mornings in
succession this passenger rendered a
So bill. The conductor let him ride
gratis. Next morning the conductor
was loaded for him, but the man with
the big bill didn't appear. But the
next morning he was on hand with his
bill and the conductor accepted it. He
handed the man 50 in coppers. 81 in
nickels, and the rest in dimes. But he
is sorry he did it, for the passenger has
the coppers piled up at home and takes
ten of them with him. The conductor
gets them.-Lowell Citizen.

WHAT A GOOD KNIFE COSTS,
More Men Spend So for Pocket
Knife than Less.

Knife than Less
ssMore men pay So and upwards for
good pocket knife than less. That may
not be the experience of all cutlery
dealers, but that's the kind Of trade we
cater to- said q knife expert from be-
hind the counter Of store on one OF
the most frequented Of the downtown
streets. "Spaniards spend the most
money for knives" he continued
"Spaniards who come here are very fas-
tidious in the matter Of cutlery, any
way. When an American family in the
same circumstances would be content
with ordinary plated ware, costing 81
or $3.50 a dozen, Spaniard Will nave
nothing but the finest steel with ivory
handles, at $1S and over. The average
business man spends usually about $3
for a four laded knife. If he loses
knife often, as many men do, lie comes
down to 50, then to 81. Most expensive
knives are bought for presents. -Four
dollars buys an excellent gift. Last sea-
son many knives were given for prizes
at euchre parties. Such knives are US
ually fancy ones with half a dozen
blades or attachments. That big 7-inch
knife there is a hunters knife. 1t costs
81.
"a man who buys that will take it to
the Adirondacks and when he leaves
there will present it to his guide. We
have one customer who buys three OF
those knives every year. He gives them
to his guides, he says. We sell nearly
$50 Of them every year This heavy one
here with a big steel hook is a horse
mans knife. 1t costs 81. The nook IS
used for digging out a stone from the
horses hoof. 1t has, as you see, other
attachments, such as a corkscreW,
screwdriver, nut cracker, aWl, gllnlet
and score Of things for other useful
or useless purposes, according to the
point of view We sell many OF them,
probably more than any other KIM.
Sailors usually buy pretty good knives.
They and the Italians go i'll for big,
sharp knives that should be handy in
case of defense. Pretty nearly every
trade has peculiar knife. That's one
reason why a well-equipped cutlery
shop makes such formidable display.
knives cost all the way from 80 cents
to $25. We don't sell many at the latter
price. / sold one last week for SIS. II

The Poets and Sunshine.

One might fancy there to be some
natural affinity between genius and
the sun, seeing that SO many gifted ones

he declares that he could "bear cold
no better than an antelope, and never
yet found sun quite done to his taste,
in full accord with Coleridge's saying

that "the poets soul appears to crave

A letter from Mr.. Tingle, United
States Consul at Brunswick, Germany,
to the State Department throws an ia
teresting side light on the meat Ques-
ton in that country. The chief de-
mand for American meats, especially
pork and it's products, comes from the
poorer classes Of Germany, and it was
these that were the largest consumers
OF American provisions. The prohibi-
ton of American cattle in the German
market has created a new demand. the
supplying Of which may destroy even
tuallv the demand for American meats.
The price Of beef IS from Is to q cents
3 pound, and the German workingman,
who receives from Is cents to 81 day,
is deprived Of its use as food more than
once a week, which is not sufficient.
The supply has been made up by the
use Of horse meat, which is sold at Z
cents a pound, and is said by Mr.. Tingle
to be an excellent food in every par
ticular." The prejudice in Germany
against the use of horse meat for food
is rapidly disappearing and so long as
the price remains about as it is the de-
Ma9d vii Increase: At present the
German butchers pay fron1 SIS to $50
for horses, but already the demand is
beginning to increase the price. Mr..
Tingle advises the American farmer
to go into the business of raising horses
to supply the German food market. He
says they can be raised cheaper than
cattle, and can be more easily shipped
across the water AS American beef
and pork are excluded from the Ger
man markets he recommends that the
place of these two products be filled
with horse meat. Last fall horses sold
at auction in Nebraska at from S. to
$40 EACH The short crops had some
| thing to do with this low price, but the
| falling off in the demand for horses by
| reason of the Introduction of electrici-
| ty as a motor, the bicycle and other
causes. had far more to do with fixing
| the price. 1t is doubtful if the preju-
| dice against the use of horsefesh as
| food in this country VIII ever be wholly
overcome, and the Germans can eat our
| surplus horses while we keep and con
sumo our beef and pork.

Some close observers of the situation
are inclined to expect a famine in oil.
They say the production now runs
about 1000 barrels below the aver
age daily consumption, and it looks
as if the article might be really scarce
within a year from the present time
Stocks are lower and production no
higher than during the oil furry two
months ago, but the price has been kept
down by the Standard Oil Company to
S1.45 per barrel for credit balances,
which is said to have been possible
only by the exercise of an iron grip.

Of Lima OIL but it by no means compen-
safes the shortage Of the Pennsylvania

At the present rate it will not take more
than about eighteen months to exhaust

pected to show a larger rate rather
than a smaller one. The total of stocks
OF Ohio and Indiana Oil at the close of
last May was a little more than 2O,OOO,-
600 barrels. Owing to the increase in

manufacturing establishments in Ohio

Duck Farming.

It is worthy of note that the Chinese
very, very long ago Matched out their
ducks by artificial heat, and the incu-
bators that seem so wonderful to us at
the poultry shows and country fairs
were an old story in the East long be-
fore our great-grandfather were born.
1t is likely that we got the domesticated
duck from China, so long ago that we
know not when, and the writer's on nat
ural history content themselves with
telling us that it is derived from the
mallard, mixed in some cases with the
muskduck and the gadwall, and per-
haps the black duck. The domestica-
ton of the duck has had an effect the
opposite of that usually produced by
civilization on man, for the mallard is
strictly homogeneous. Waterton, the
naturalist, says the wild duck is a
faithful husband, remaining paired for
life, while the domestic drake is polyg-
amOuS.

When this is on a level with the floor
