people have more funds Tor en-
periments than Hawaii. Did
YOU ever notice the number and !,
variety OF schemes that the
newspapers present to their
readers? A writer will in few
inches OF space advance sugges- \
tions that may require barrels OF
money and years of toll to re-
duCe or elevate to utility. Then
they may never give the matter /
another line and mention it only
in conversation as testimony |
that the few men who work down
their soul-Cases for the commu- /
nifty are slow. The real way to .
do in the editing business is to
generally provide interesting
matter along certain lines, then
when YOU see that the citizens
really want something done and |
propose to do it, Just keep re-
minding them OF it. No news
paper can get more that six
inches beyond public opinion
without "corking" itself. If the
reader agrees he'll say the editor
has a good head on him. If he
thinks diferenton what the paper
SAYS. he'll remark that the editor
is a fool. And this thing of ac-
cusing newspapers OF lying needs
ventilation. If the paper told
half the lies its friends wanted it
to, it would have the full OF
every other column nothing but
| lies every issue. They say in the
| States that the New Woman
still thinks pretty well of the old
man and continues to drag his
Jeans" for silver. Besides the
ordinary assortment OF males
who are non persona grata to
thinking men in Honolulu we
have, observers have noted, two
classes of nuisanCes on two legs.
One is the man willing to agree
with the majority providing the
majority thinks as he does. The
other is the very numerous indl-
vidual who thinks he should be
general manager of this or that
"whole works, " when he is fitted
by education, training and native
ability tor about the humblest
billet in the establishment. These
men are simply mot next to
themselves" The principal
local event at hand is the cele-
bration on the 24th of the 10Th
) birthday of Her Majesty NiCto-
ria, Queen of Great Britain and
Ireland, Empress OF India, De.
fender OF the Faith, etc.
One Of the greatest inConven-
fences in connection with a
windmill is the leaking Of the
tank. When the water is low
; the tank shrlnks and OF course
leaks. If you examine our model
OF the Patent Non Shrinking
Tank you will see its advantages.
The tank is made with a deep
) channel or groove IN the top OF
the slaves. This groove is filled
with water from pump discharge
, which, by absorption, passes into
: the pores of the wood, keeping
g., the entire tank moist at all times
and preventing shrinkagc. The
incoming water from Nthe pump
discharge first fills the channel,
and the surplus passes into the
= tank, flowing down the inner
t surface of the tank wall. The
object of this is to keepthe Joints
-, tight.
While we are talking of water
supply we wish to keep before
e your mind the superiority OF the
Improved Stone Filter. The
: water comes through this pecu.

clear as it possibly can be. Tc

r Next to having pure water tc
t drink, is having comfortable and
clean bathing. Our cast iron

their pleasures you leave them
with sigh.

no doubt true, that one OF the
chief things that make Boston
people so clever is their diet OF
