Havana Cigars

by reason of their superior quality and name
are usually sold at high prices. We have an
excellent line of these cigars direct from Ha-
vana. While the quality of these cigars is at
the top-notch our prices have been scaled down
to bring these popular cigars within the reach

the quietest elections ever held
in Honolulu or elsewhere. 1t
was a good deal like some of
the elections in the South
American republics where you
always vote the government
ticket or stay away from the
polls. Although only ~
votes were cast, that number
was even larger than was ex-
pected.
Talking about the election,
however, reminds us that we
have just received a novelty in
the shape Of a newly invented
can opener, which is simplicity
itself. 1t is called the A. &C.,
and we are the only firm hand
ling them. This can opener is
different to any other in use.
1t takes the entire top Of the
can off with a single turn of
the wrist. All you have to do
is to lay the machine on the
top of the can, strike a little
wooden knob similar to those
used in opening soda--water
bottles and the can opener does
the rest. There is no possibil-
ity Of injurins the hands or
losing your temper.
Did we hear anyone call out
"rats?' We thought we did,
and that brings to our mind
another novelty in the shape of
a French rat trap. This is a
family concern and will'accom-
modate whole families of these
peStiferouS rodents. Mr.. Rat
walks into the trap until he
reaches a little platform which
gives way under his weight
and he is caught before he
knows where he is, being
landed in an entirely different
compartment to that which he
first entered. Mrs. Rat follows
to see what the old man was
doing out so late at night and
soon joins him. We have
caught ten rats in one night in
one of these traps. They must
be seen to be appreciated.
This warm weather makes
one think of ice-cream and
an ice-cream freezer that
will suit a small family is
a deSideratum. We have just
imported a new style of freezer
which cannot fail to commend
itself by its usefulness. 1t is
provided with a heavy cap
which fits tightly over the re-
ceptacle holding the cream,
and is so constructed as to re-
quire less ice, less salt and less
time in freezing. If you want
one of these ask for the Gem,

when it is the latter which is essayed. as
In this Instance one might naturally think
that the amount OF such material would
be the minimum. Viewing these two large
volumes. Of nearly loO pages each. one
might excusably infer that one OF two
things is true-either they contain great
deal OF matter that might or should have
been omitted, or else Mr.. Sala is not a
literary man. 1t might be suggested that
his may be an exceptional case, but we
