In These Chilly Mornings

the thoughts OF the householder
are directed towards fuel as a
means Of keeping warm. To
get the right quality at the
right price is the matter to be
considered. There's lots and
lots of wood for sale, but to get
what is best for the money is
the question.
We contend and we believe
we are right in our judgment,
that the wood we deliver to our
patrons is the best ever offered
for sale in Honolulu. Our
algeroba is full growth and
has more body to it than that
grown anywhere on the Islands.
Our wood choppers know a
good thing when they see it,
and in cutting they select only
what they know to be good to
use. We never deliver any ex-
cept what is good. You take
no chances whatever when you
telephone us an order for wood.
You get just as good as if you
came to the ranch and selected
it yourself.

LADIES' COLUMN.

In entering upon the New
Year, we do 50 realizing that
nothing can give the intelli-
gent or judicious buyers more
satisfaction than to have us
stick to our Quick SALES
AND SMALL PROFITS SYSTEM.
I'm has been the means of
saving them money on every
purchase made of us. While
to us it has increased our
trade from the day we adopt
cd it.
We will have no shelves
for shop worn goods. New
GOODS, GOOD GOODS, STYL-
ISL GOODS, and plenty of
them, with reasonable price
fixed on them will be the
order of this coming years
business. We want your
trade and will have it, if
goods and prices have any
thing to do with your buying.
We propose to keep in
touch with New York, Paris
and London, at as near their
prices as is consistent.
Each DEPARTMENT in the
STORE will be found to con-
tain a CHOICE and VARIED
SELECTION of the NEWEST
and most FASHIONABLE
MATERIALS and GARMENTS
of every description. We
want you to get into the
habit of expecting this, and
inspecting our stock. 1t will
save you time, trouble and
money.
7 This week we have some
fine INDIAN RUGS, some CAR
PETS and CURTAINS that you
will make no mistake by buy
ing.

War RumOrS.

The war between China and
Japan is still on. So far the
Japanese have all the best of
it. How long this will last,
time alone can tell.
Flushed by their numerous
victories, the japanese are
pushing their armies into Chi
nese territory. The capture
OF Ping Yang with its forts
and treasure was their first
great success.
The naval battle at the
mouth Of the Yalu River aud
the total destruction Of three
Chinese men-of-war followed
this quickly. The final expul-
sion OF the Chinese from Corea
and the capture of Kew Lien
Chang left the road open to
the Japs to both Moukden
and Peking.
To carry on this warfare
Japan has $50 far enlisted one
hundred thousand men aside
from her regular standing
army, and hundreds OF the
bone and sinew OF the land Of
the chrysanthemum are crowd
ing the recruiting Offices daily.
This has caused the price OF
labor to increase 1907. In
consequence japanese mate
rial and products of every
description have nearly dou-
bled in price.
However, as we had our
large Christmas order in seve-
raj months ago, we will not
be affected.
Why trade with firms who
carry an assortment OF goods
that are Of inferior quality or
made by the cheapest labor,
when you can get the best for
the same pricei We guaran-
tee every article in our store
to be the very best that the
Japanese market can produce
and at prices that were in
vogue before war was de-
clared.

antee the quality, style, fit
and finish - Calf, Patent
Leather and Tan.

PROOF THAT LUCOL Is MORE
DURABLE.

PROOF THAT LUCOL Is MORE
DURABLE.
Six years of actual use i'm exterior
house painting in California (the
most trying climate for paints, in
the burning heat of the Arizona Des-
ert, the Arctic cold Of Alaska. and ON
the Atlantic coast, have fully and
practically shown that LUCoL always
outwears Linseed Oil under the same
conditions. All the acid works in
San Francisco have discarded Lin
seed Oil for LUCoL.
ILLUSTRATE THIS YOURSELF.
Put strong ammonia on Linseed and
Lucol paints. The Linseed paints
are destroyed in few minutes; the
Lucol paints are practically uuatlect-
ed.
PROOF THAT LUCOL Is MORE
ECONOMICAL.
Break up l. lbs. paste white lead
IN one pint of LUCoL, and the same
quantity in one pint of Linseed Oil.
Spread the paints on similar dark
surfaces for comparison. The Lucol
paint spreads rs far as and covers
much better than the Linseed paint.
To get equally good covering with the
Linseed paint you have to use p lbs.
Of white lead to one pint of Linseed
Oil. This means saving Of Id. of
paste lead to each pint of LUcoL used,
or lbs. to every gallon, equivalent
to your saving more than half the
first cost Of the LUCoL.
LUcoL is not in competition With
cheap Linseed Oil substitutes.

hands.
Still another evidence of japanese
superstition is shown by the lucky
stones they nearly all (professed Chris
tians as WE'LL carry in their pockets.
In japan the women place locks OF
their hair and the men place smooth
stones the size of walnutS ut the Feet
of their idols. After certain time
these locks OF hair and the stones be-
come sacred and are either carried in
their garments or worn suspended
around their necks rs charms to pro-
tect the wearer from evil and harm.
The japanese immigrants wear and
carry the prayer bags and the sacred
stones until they reach the MISSIONS
when they are hidden. 80 as to pre-
vent white Christians from discover
ing these evidences of idolatry.

Value or a Minute.

Napoleon, who knew the value Of
time, remarked that it was the quarter
hours that won battles. The value OF
minutes has been often recognized,
and any person watching railway
clerk handing out tickets and change
during the last few minutes available
must have been struck with how much
could be done in these short periods
of time.
At the appointed hour the train
starts and by and by is carrying pas
sengers at the rate OF sixty miles an
hour. In a second you are carried
twenty-nine yards In one twenty
ninth part of a second you pass over
one yard. Now, one yard is quite an
appreciable distance, but one twenty.
ninth OF second is period which
cannot be appreciated.
Yet it is when we come to planetary
and stellar motions that the notion OF
the infinite divisibility Of time dawns
upon US in new light. It would seem
that no portion of time, however mi
croscopic, is unavailable. Nature can
perform prodigies, not certainly in
less than no time, but in portions Of it
80 minute as to be altogether incon-
ceivable. The earth revolves on her
axis in twenty-four hours. At the
equator her circumference is 25, 600
miles. Hence, in that part of the
earth person is being carried east
ward at the rate of 500 yards per
second---that is the moving over .
yard, whose length is conceivable. in
the period of one five hundred and
ninth part of second, of which We
can have no conception at all.
But more, the orbital motion OF the
earth round the sun causes the former
to perform a revolution of nearly 600,-
900, 900 miles in 9 year, or somewhat
less than 10000 miles an hour, which
is more than 1000 miles in q minute.
Here, then, our second carries Us the
long distance of about nineteen miles.
The mighty ball thus flies about mile
in the nineteenth part of o second.'.-

Greatest OF ALI Diamonds.

When diamond is found weighing
more than hundred carats, the news
is usually herAded with much ado. 1t
is not to be wondered at, therefore, if
the finding of the Excelsior" created
considerable excitement. 1t weighed
in the rough 971 carats, and was found
near Jagersfountain. in the Orange
Free State, Africa. When examined
it was found to be white stone of the
first water. but had small flaw in the
centre. The inspector Of the mine,
Swede name Jorgensen, Was the lucdy
finder. The proprietors of the mine,
Breitmayer and Bernheimer, had the
stone tested and valued by experts,
who agreed that the value was S., 000,-
900. 1t is fact that two offers of
$4,000, 900 and 81, $50, 900, respective
", have been refused by the propri-
etors. Upon its transfer to the coast
great precautions were taken for its
protection. A squadron of cavalry es-
corted it to the railway station. In
Capetown it was placed aboard the
British gunboat 81. NJ. S. Antelope,
which brought the precious gem to
London, where it now rests IN the ire
and burglar-proof vaults of the Bank
of England.
The next largest diamond in the
world is the one owned by the Raiah
of Matan, on the Island of Borneo;
this one weighs 367 carats. The hand
soonest of all the large diamonds
known is, however, the one in the
French collection of crown jewels,
known as the "Regept," which weighs
1856. carats. Louis XV. paid 600, 600
francs for it. but now it is valued at
$1,000, 900.
How much the "E1celsior" will lose
in cutting can only be decided by most
eminent experts. As rule, the larger
diamonds lose fully one-half of their
weight in this operation. Naturally
the cutting, which is done with view
to having as few large pieces as possi-
BILE outside of the main gem, must be
carried on with the greatest care. This
business is carried on mainly in Am
sterdam and Antwerp. In Amsterdam
there are at present five large concerns
of diamond cutters, with S72 diamond
mills or cutting wheels, and 3Ooo
hands, besides q large number OF less
important concerns. - Philadelphia
