Haweis refers to this contingent as
clever people who cannot for some

Pulpit" is the most popular preach
er in London. He is a scholarly,
finished orator and writer, and
critic OF art, music and culture. 1t
was he who told the San
Francisco people, lately that they
were very ordinary mortals with
very common ideals and little or no
appreciation of the esthetic studies;
and he proved to them that what
he said was absolutely correct.
In his article for the magazine
Rev. DR.. Haweis treats in chapters
OF the relations Of the pulpit to the
common people, to the stage, to
science, to the newspapers, to the
business world and other classes
He is extremely liberal, having
passed quite beyond the orthodox

who express unreserved horror OF

In two of the short chapters o.
his article Rev. DR.. Haweis is nota'
bly, strong. These lines are conhn
ed to remarks on the sermons of The
Christ and a discussion of variou:
interpretations of the Bible. The
laity will find the contribution more
than interesting and the clergy
should easily discover in it food fol
thought.

of Babylonia, who appears clean shaw.
en-, in tho dress of the high priest. The
garment reaches down to tho feet and
is crossed over the left shoulder, leav.
ing the right arm, which is raised, bare.
The statuette is full length one, stand
ing ON its own double plintb, and is
some 12 inches high. This bronze comes
! from Abu Habbab and dates about B.
G. 1900 A second statuette represents
king in the attitude of alteration or
contemplation, having his hands raised
and olasped together in similar man
ner as tho god Nebo is represented. Tho
king wears a long, flowing beard, but
no costume can be traced. This fgure is
not full length, being cut off about the
calves, and represents probably the
Chaldean king, Gudea, b. G. $500.
The third figure, which stands seven
inches high, represents Camil-Sin, king
of Baby lonia, in the character of basket
bearer, both arms being uplifted and
supporting basket borne on the head.
The date of the figure is about B. G.
5000. 1t is supposed that these statuettes
may have been dedications to Ningirsu,
the fire god, whose worship was par
ticular cult at Tell.lo.
The art Of making bronze casts was
known to the Babylonians from very
early times. and many examples are &c

inal in the Louvre, stands by the side
of the new additions, casts of which

On THE surface every thing seems
to be in the capital and over the
islands the same as before the up
rising. 1t is true that peace and
quiet reign with every prospect OF
indefinite continuance. But THE
STAR is assured that few of the
very men who should exert them
selves in the direction of fully and
completely restoring confidence, are
still nervous. There is no occasion
whatever for the slightest fear of
any sort. Hawaiian investments

The "fad," if it may be so call
ed, of wearing dresses of a Ger
tain design will never become
popular Tor the reason that, as
rule, a lady is very chary about
getting the same kind of cloth
that her neighbor wears. AS an
illustration it is only necessary
to cite the case of a woman OF
fashion in Chicago whose dresses
were frequently copied, and very
much to her disgust. On one
occasion when giving an order
Tor a riding habit she remarked
to her dressmaker 81 want some
thing that will not be copied by
every woman who sees it, sup
pose you make the buttons OF
five dollar gold pieces" And
her scheme worked. The ladies
of Honolulu are not different in
this respect from those of Chi
cago. If a few of them wish to
wear stripes let those who object
wear stars and there will be a
combination that even the Gov
ernment would not object to.
With men it is different! Zones
wears the same style hat that
Brown does and there's no jeal-
Ousy about it. Aud if Brown
manages a plantation and finds
an implement that suits his pur-
pose he tells Jones and he gets
one like it. Perhaps that is the
way with the Avery Implements
Mr.. Scott, manager OF Wainaku
saw them and was satisfied with
them. Directly he began using
them the epidemic spread and
now all Hawaii has the disease
and were spreading it wherever
there is an opening. The follow.

well the high opinion in which
these implements are held by the

DEAR SIR:-In answer to your letter
inquiring about the Avery Stubble

would say that the fact that we have

speaks for itself. We have dug over
four hundred acres of rattoon stools and
consider it will be a great benefit.
The Fertilizer Distributor is a gooG
thing and has effected material saving
of labor in the application of fertilizer
and applies it better than can be jon'
by hand.
These machines are very simple anC
well constructed and we have had NJ

we consider them one of the most use

used on plantation.

INCREDULOUS.

A half-caste in one of the out
living districts of this island makes
a peculiar appeal to friends in Hon
olulu. He wants the town poll
ticians to devise for him some
means of convincing large num-
Der of the natives that Liliuokalani
has actually resigned all claims to
royalty. The man in the country
is himself a former publicist, an
ardent Republican and an earnest
advocate Of closer political union.
But being away from the capital he
half doubts that monarchy is ended
and still vaguely wonders how it Is
all coming out At least he is not
firm enough convert to the new
doctrine to teach it effectively. He
has the ability and inclina'
ton. The native of the out
lying districts is a peculiar political
factor. He is more than pulling. He
is suspicious Of the haoie. For ovel
two years he has refuied to ac'
with the foreigner favoring queer
or with foreigner favoring a presi
dent. We wonder how it would dc
to Just let him entirely alone for
time. The experiment of permit
ting him TO size up the situation
and choose for himself might not be
a bad one. He has now been sui
hciently schooled, as to time ant
practice at least, to be able to &C

CONFERENCE.-The 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, 32 in dia- by ~ in. long, the shredder
discs being #. in. long, driven by an
automatic engine II in. dia. cylinder by IA
| in. stroke.
The Rattoon cane being milled Is as hard
as it is possible for cane to be, having been
subjected to a 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
| meily after passing through the first mill.
The first mill is now allowed to open y16 in.
instead of Is 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 IS
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 oh OF 1t resembling saw dust, 1t contains
| "a per statement 30 per cent of moisture and
makes good fuel, the juice from the last mill
stands degrees Brix., SO that the moisture
in the trash is OF 5 per cent. sugar solution
The Boilers make steam much easier than
before, now care has to be taken To keep them
from blowing of, 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
der, our work in all departments has been
very materially improved obtaining a
better extraction at less expense than former
ly. The great improvement in our steam,
causes much satisfaction to those engaged in
