AT THE trans Mississippi con-
gress, recently held in Omaha,
Neb., Professor Warehouse of
Washington University, st. Louis,
was introduced and spoke on the
cultivation and use of ramie, other
wise known as "China grass, I"
glass plant" and "rhea." He
claimed that it was the strongest
fiber known, that the garments
made from it were waterproof and
could not be worn out for years in
China, the same being handed
down to three generations. The
ramie requires clayey, sandy, al
luvial soil, found in the Southern
States. He predicted that the in
vention of a new machine for
separating the gum from the fabric
of ramie would revolutionize the
textile industries, as did the inven-
ton of the cottou-gin. Ramie has
been very successfully cultivated on
Oahu.

THE visit of the Alameda today
again forces recollection Of the mis-
sing master, Capt. II. G. Morse.
The ships name and that OF the re-
tired skipper will always be
associated. Capt. Morse is now
we'll out upon his lecture tour.
They said at San Francisco that he
had a first-class story or series OF
stories arranged aud had an excel
lent delivery. His experiences OF
over fifty years at sea are of course
interesting. Morse rose from the
forecastle of dirty little Atlantic
schooner to the quarterback OF a
handsome Pacific greyhound and
his really interesting experiences
would in their accounting fill hall
a dozen volumes.

SUCH questions as single tax and
proportional representation are 60
ing to get into Hawaiian politics,
and those who dabble in public is
sues had best prepare for the worst.
The advocacy Of these reforms can
not be harmful, however, and will
be relief from such discussions as
have disturbed Hawaii and embit-
tered people during recent months.
The conservatives will doubtless for
a long time cling to the old and
tried systems. They will be forced,
though, to make the concession OF
attempting improvement of the ac-
cepted schemes for revenue and re-
presentation in the halls Of law
making.

TIKI temperance people in the
United States have a new problem
with which to grapple. In the
sugar beet districts some bad men
erect stills in secret places and make
spirits from the roots. The prac-
tice will be stopped. 1t is in a
chase after an evil of this sort that
the government OF the big Republic
is relentless. Deputy marshals
have for many years have been
stalking their lives against the Illicit
sitting business in the mountains
of the south and the infraction OF
the revenue laws will be followed
the same in the sugar beet sections.

December Q, 1895.
The evolution of the water
filter is an interesting study
in ancient times the Romans,
so Bill Nye declares, used an
ordinary rake in much the
same manner as one rakes a
lawn nowadays, only they rak
ed the water. Then step by
step, improvements were made
until it was possible for a man
to secure a glass of water that
was absolutely free from old
boots and other refuse. People
in those days were satisfied
with the primitive filters; they
did not fear the deadly microbe
as much as we do in our day
and perhaps they were happier.
Finally, some inventive genius
discovered that if water was
allowed to spercolate through
charcoal all foreign matter
would be extracted. So char
coal filters were made and
found a ready sale. Bye and
bye, it was discovered that it
was more than a task to keep
this filter clean so bright minds
looked about for something to
take the place of charcoal and
the Gate City Stone Filter
was the result. This filter is
not a new one by any means;
we have sold it since we have
been established in business.
1t can be found in nearly every
large business house in town,
so no pressing invitation is ex-
tended to call at our store to
inspect it. 1t has been on this
market for six years or more
and has a reputation. DIR. Ly-
man, the noted physician of
Chicago, wrote: ut is the best
filter | have ever SEEN" And
to come nearer home, our own
DR.. Stangenwald gave his APP
proval in the very same words.
No chemicals are used in the
Gate City Filter; the fluid
passes through a piece of
natural stone. This filter can be
cleaned every day without any
bother; all one has to do is to
brush the stone and then rinse
the interior. If by any acct
dent the stone should be bro
ken, it can be replaced; we
carry duplicate parts in stock.
The cholera visitation caused
every filter we had it stock to
be sold. Several weeks ago
we received fresh supply and
have sold about thirty in that
time. People in Honolulu
know the merits of the Gate
City Stone Filter and will have
no other. 1t is the best made
and no opposition can stop its
sale for a moment.
The holidays are rapidly APP
preaching and fyou intend to
secure presents for your friends
and relations do not put of
buying until the last moment.
Men are good things in their
way, but they do not exercise
as much judgment during
holiday time" as a woman
does. Some men like to sur
prise their wives and buy some
useless article for the purpose.
To such we would say: Get
something that is both useful
and ornamental-an onyx table
for instance. We have a num-
Der of them and no prettier
present can be made. Every
woman takes an interest in her
home and if you buy something
that will beautify it, your fore
thought will be appreciated.
A hanging lamp or a chande-
lier are both suitable for gifts.
We have a large stock of both.

There are Two Principles Involved In the
Use of this Filter,

FIRST. Filtration e. the removal of all insol-
uble matter from the water, rendering it clean and
bright. In this the filter is practically perfect.
SECOND Aeration--i. e., allowing the air to be
brought into direct contact with the filtered water
it will be observed there escapes such all
other filters have The compressed air in the water
pipes is filtered through the stone with the water.
This operation tends to oxdze and aerate the filtered
water giving new life and vigor to it. In all other
filters scientists agree that filtered water has flat
taste to it. Not in this For these reasons to-
gether with the perfect lock joint and easy method of
cleaning and taking apart and simplicity of construc-
ton, these Filters recommended for in every
house-hold they have proved great SUCCESS in
Europe and the United States where they are being
sold in great numbers.
This lot which in the aloha" is the first
introduced here and ask all friends to

Bamboo Ftlaments Obsolete.

The great Edison incandescent lamp

years ago. all kinds OF carbOniZable sub

WILDWOOD, paper, silk, hair, putty-and
Edison has stated that he has made no
fewer than three thousand separate tests
of such materials before he settled finally
on bamboo as the best for reduction TO
carbon and for subsequent durability.
But there are many different varieties of
bamboo, and Edison ranseck9d the earth
in quest for the kinds having the tough
est, straightest fibers. His emissaries
visited all the tropical quarters OF the
globe. penetrating to regions up the
Amazon, in India and Japan. never be-
fore reached by an American. The re-
suit OF their adventurous discoveries was
the selection OF a species of Japanese
bamboo, which has been used until very
recently. But newer processes have
come TO the front, and BAN boo gives way
TO paper as the basis of the delicate black
tilament that glows golden when the cur
rent passes through it. We are said to
be on the eve of cheaper lamps, due not
alone TO improved manufacture, but to
foreign competition. The expected ar
rival OF $1,000 German lamps in New

in England lamp dealers, after using
them, have begun to advertise their lamps
as not OF German make"

1t Is stated that the water is sweeping

1t may be inferred that no serious trouble
has occurred.

1t was rumored last night that the back

side of the river and some miles below
Washington, had been washed out by the
pressure of back water from the tules.
There was also rumor that Davisville
was Hooded, but this does not seem at all
likely, though it may be Putah Creek

there is considerable demand for hotel

was all right for hotels to charge from

the amounts asked or not; the fact remains
that the charges were fmpositions and not
to be excused. That some-and only a

keepers have done what they could in

have to be admitted. but not even the most

tradicted. To those who have had any
experience In dealing with hotels there is
nothing extraordinary in the overcharges
which are entirely too common whenever
