THERE is simply no mission in
this country now either for the
petty plotter or powerful enemy of
the government to work harm.
One is throttled with ease, prompt
ly and without making more than
a ripple of excitement. He searches
in vain for cooperation. There is
no war party here now except the
union Of ali citizens to preserve the
peace and maintain law and order
at any cost. The adventurer seek
ing to stir up strife as a channel
with loot and anarchy at the end,
had best keep away from Hawaii.
The pretentious enemy of the gov
eminent, one able to move upon it
with considerable force, has long
had standing invitation to a duel.
But there is no longer any thought
of such a possibility as a filibuster
outfit appearing in these waters.
The idea is esteemed absurd.

About the beginning of the eighteenth
century ladies wrote n large, round, open
hand, not much unlike the Italian. As
the century grew older the light, angular
style OF our grandmothers and great
grandmothers came into vogue. Feminine
handwriting was then painfully uniform
individually was almost unknown.
Latterly, however, our girls have asserted
their Independence in this direction as In
so many others, and the civil service style
IN now much affected.
Among ladies distinguished for the
beauty OF their penmanship-o penwom
anship-was Charlotte Bronte, who wrote
very small, very delicate and carefully
finished hand. Mrs. Hemans wrote in a
free flowing style. Elizabeth Barrett
Browning's manuscript was very neat and
carefully punctuated, the writing being
distinct and legible, though the letters
were not well joined.-CLambers' Jour

CHAUNCEY DEPEw said recently
that the nine-tenths of him that is

he rebelled against at the time.
The drift Of the remark was that

most good.

AT THE time delegates to the
Constitutional Convention were
chosen, and again when members
Of the Legislature were elected
effort was made by the American
Union Party central committee and
conventions tc arouse sentiment
on the threatened flooding of this
market with japanese manufacture
ed articles. A few men were able
to see at these times that trade
with the United States, Great
Britain and Germany was in
jeopardy. The purpose of the
warning then sounded was to guar
antee a continuance of commercial
relations with the best, the old and
tried friends of Hawaii. The stu
alton now is that japanese goods
have obtained quite firm
foothold here, thus reducing mater
tally many items of staple imports
from old markets. The japanese
merchandise is cheaper and equal
in quality. This justification for
its use is naturally met with the ar
gument that Hawaii sells absolutely
nothing to that nation. All the
sugar produced by the Islands, and
nearly all the coffee grown go to the
United States. A year and a half
ago a -eadjustment of the tariff was
suggested by men who believed it
could be accomplished. 1t may be
too late for that now, because many
consumers and dealers are welded
to japanese goods and declare that
they are privileged to buy where
the best bargains are offered.

TOURISTS are assured that the
Hawaiian earthquake is Of a harm

this is the season for them.

There are Two Principles Involved in the
Use Of this Filter:

FIRST. Filtration e., the removal of all inso
ube 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 airescapes, 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 aerae the filtered
water giving new life and vigor to it. In all othe
filters, scientists agree that filtered water has fat
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
household; they have proved great SUCCESS in
Europe and the United States where they being
sold in great numbers
This lot which in the aloha is the first
introduced here and ask all our friends to
and see the most perfect Filter now in USE

SUCCESS sSi
Is a Perfect Filter.

The ftoring blocks used in this filters are made
from the Natural Tripoi Stone, quarred from the
mines and turned special machinery made for the
purpose. \
This stone is the only Perfect Filtering Medium
Known. Impurities never penetrate the surface It's
pores constructed by Nature, that while allow
ing the water to percolate rapidly through Them all
Germs Microbes and impurities of every description
remain the surface, from which they can be easily
washed, the stone remaining white and pure.
We GUARANTEE the inside of the 'SUCCESS"'
blocks to be found pure and clean after years of
slant in the foulest water it the day
made
The Pasteur Germ Proof Filter Co. have adopted
Tripoli Stone, also the Doon Filter Co. of Europe,
who the wel-known orginators of the filter bust
ness in Europe. We claim this sufficient proof of the
superiority of Tripol Stone Germ Proof Filter
We have two kinds of the SUCCESS" The
Pressure Filter which is to be attached to the water
pipe, and the Gravity Filters, which work without
any pressure of water.

Some old Roman Mn,io,oires

1t seems TO me that, taken in general,
we are very ignorant lot of people in
this last decade of the nineteenth CEN
tury. Our wealth, much as we boast of
it, is comparatively puny compared
with the wealth of men of old. There
was Mare Antony's house that was sold
to Messiah for over half million, and
Scaurus' villa was burned at loss of
over twelve millions.
OthO spent over fourteen millions in
finishing one wing of palace com
menced by Nero. Nearly $4,000 600
was found in the Golfers of Tiberius,
and Caligula spent it all in less than II
year. Paulus could make little tri-
fling present to the mother of Brutus of
a pearl worth over 100000. SO let us
be modest. We are cheap people, even
the wealthicst of us.
