Whether Honolulu is cursed to-
day with Asiatic cholera or not, and
whether We are OVERRIDING necessary

that is that the city of Honolulu is
getting a cleaning up which it sorely

prove everlsstingly beneficial to its
sanitary conditions.

II the conditions in that district
are bad how are those at Iwilei. We
defy the members of the Board of
Health on a wager to stand more
than ten minutes in the vicinity Of
the hog pens ard the bone mill at
Iwilei. The stench is simply fright
full. It is more than sufficient to ex-
terminate every person who is OBJ
liged to reside in the vicinity. The
whole place should be condemned
at once and the hog pens with their
dead horses and carcasses and the
bone mill moved into some wilder
ness, where human beings don't live.
Honolulu has no sewerage. Our
army and police, our commissions
and juDketing expeditions on land
and sea have swallowed our reve-
nues. But even under our unfortun-
ate sanitary condition let every Of
fort be made at once to improve the
situation and prevent, ss far az pos
sible the planting here OF . germ
which is easy to got, aud nearly i'm
possible to get rid Of. Let the
Board OF Health take drastic meas
ures if necessary, and "clean" the
town even il the owners OF the dead
horses and live pigs are members OF
the family compact.

1t cannot be denied that the
war cloud which hangs over the
world at present is getting darker
and darker. 1t is historical
fact that the end of each cen.
tury has always been fraught
with bloodshed and strife, in.
ternally as well as externally.
The great powers of Europe to.
day are making and unmaking
alliances of all kinds. The fact
is that diplomacy to-day is using
every means to postpone the day
when the crash must come and
gain time for the different coun-
tries to prepare themselves for
the gigantic struggle which will
and must take place before the
present generation dates its let
ters in the year 1900. Turkey
is threatened from all sides. The
Russian bear is extending his
claws and licking his blood.
thirsty tongue towards the East
and South in anticipation of
gain. The passive and cold
brother nations who inhabit the
Scandinavian peninsula are
now glaring ferociously ready to
spring at each others throats.
Germany, under its impetuous,
indiscreet imperial master, is
drifting into the deceptive mael-
strom of conquest, and war, in
which all past experience, all
knowledge gained through the
horrors of war are forgotten, and
where only false sentiment and
sham patriotism are ruling.
And while the giants get
ready for the great war their
leaders have realized one thing,
and that is, that no army will
have show, no militia chance,
except provided with the indis-
pensable bicycle. And no won-
der that the monarchial coun-
tries of Europe prefer the "Mon-
arch" to any other kind, and
supply their wheeling cavalry"
with that favorite brand.
We have watched proceedings
In the great countries with
great deal of care, and we have
secured the sole agency for Ha-
wall of the Monarch Cycle. We
have realized that, not alone
large stock is necessary, but that
a workshop, in which all needed
repairs can be done is in the in
terest of our patrons, and we have
established one above our stores
on Fort street. This "bicycle
infrmary" will attend to any
sickness" which the wheel
may meet through accident or
i"Ch vi Caio' Our prices are lar
below veterinary figures. We
fix the Monarchs sold by us at
cost price if ever they should
need it. We have everything
on hand and have secured the
services of a most experienced
bicycle man, whose work we
guarantee.
AS the bicycle is not only of
advantage in war but love, we
wish to call the attention of the
young boys and girls who have
to spend their vacations in Ho-
nolulu, that we have wheels Just
suitable for them. If daddy
can't send them to the country
for trip--or buy them a bow
wow-let them ask him for
Monarch. 1t will give more
pleasure and last much longer
than even a volcano trip.

Bismarck and the ambassador,

One day the Austrian ambassador
to the federal diet, Count Rechberg,
received II dispatch instructing him
to vote with Prussia for certain i'm
portant measure, accompanied with
a confidential letter directing him to-
induce the representatives Of the
other German states to vote against
the measure, and thus defeat it. In
his haste he handed the wrong paper
to Bismarck, who read and returned
it with the remark:
There must be some mistake
here" Rechberg saw his blunder
and grew pale and excited. Don't
be disturbed said Bismarck. You
did not intend to give me this doou-
ment, and therefore you have not
given it to me, and 1 am wholly ig-
norant of its contents. In fact he
made no mention of it in his official
reports, and thus won Rechberg's
gratitude, besides having him hence
forth ION the hip. San Francisco

A French Criticism of American Girls.

This extract is from book by M
de Varigay of the French consular
service:
1.-THE Hibernian, French, Italian
and German blood mingled with the
Ango-Saxon has softened its char
acteristic vivacity or morbidness,
grace or languor, the outlines which
the American woman inherited.
Thus we find in this land almost
every kind of plastic beauty-the,
voluptuous nonchalance of the Gre
ole, the artistic purity of the Eng
lish woman, the expressive and noble
physiognomy of the Frenchwoman,
the blooming complexion and slen--
der figure of the Irish girl. From
these races the American has Dor
rowed what is best in each, and
youth and love bring about elimina-
ton, marriage in the United States
being, more than anywhere else, the
result of an instructive affinity.
For long while shut up within,
the distant walls of a continent but
little visited and possessing nothing
which would naturally attract the.
curiosity of the traveller or the Oh
servation of the tourist, the beauty
of the woman, which was legendary
among tho naval officers and diplo-
mats whose duties brought them to
the coast or to Washington, made it
self manifest on the day when facil-
ity of communication and the no
madic instinct caused regular eX
odus of rich Americans.
Ancient Europe attracted them
Her monuments, flaces, cities and
museums became the object of regu-
lar pilgrimages-the result of seri--
Gus education, above all for women
Florence, Munich, Rome and Ores
den saw American colonies settling.
within their walls. They became fit
full and changing kaleidoscopesy
whose personal characteristics were
constantly renewed, and which grew
about a few rich, we'll known and es-
tablished families.
From this it came about that the
American colony took possession of
certain quarters in each of these cit
les that We're especially liked, and the
American woman made these her
centers and lived there Each Gen.
ter was foreign city in the midst
of the great French, English, Italian
or German one.
There is an English proverb
which says that seven or eight gen.
erations are needed to make gen
tleman, three or four to make a
lady. Not so many as this are nee
essary for the American woman.
She has the physical beauty of the
Anglo-SaXon race, modified by cir
cumstances, as we have shown; lei
sure, which man makes for her; in
tellectual culture; wealth, quickly
attained. and the elegance and re-
fined tastes natural to her sex. Eu-
rope did the rest.

SLOWLY STARVING
Surrounded by Plenty, but Dying
for Food.

An Every day Occurrence. - Our Friends
PerIshing Before Our Eyes.
A terrible experience for any one to 60
through, that of seeing some beloved
friend actually wasting away before our
eyes, unable to derive sufficient nourish-
ment from their food to sustain life.
Medicine naturally becomes Of little
avail, and the various organs of the body,
debilitated from lack of nourishment,
take on themselves the disease that was
originally the cause Of the " breakdown"
and help hasten the end.
Such cases, though too prevalent, are
happily becoming less frequent. The
prominent physicians of to-day do things
differently from those of twenty years
ago. They first put the patient in con-
dition to stand the SIEGE" then enrich
his blood create for him new strength,
and "build him up" generally. Tho
patient Is then in a condition to derive
benefit from his medicine.
This Is done by the use of Bovinine,
the original raw food. 1t Is an extract
that contains the greatest amount of the
DEMONSTRATING and tssue-building proper
ties of lean, raw meat, concentrated in
the least possible bulk.
The advantage of this Is obvious. A
patient already greatly weakened by dis
ease, needs to husband every particle of
strength. A few drops of Bovinine will
impart as much nourishment to the body
as would be derived by well person
from an ordinary meal; and, in getting
this nourishment, the stomach has been
forced to do the least possible amount Of
work.
Bovinine, continued throughout an ill
ness, greatly hastens recovery. Taken
at the beginning of wasting disease, it
diverts the cause of the trouble by toning
up the various organs, and getting them
In a normal condition.
Bovinine is Endorsed by 200 doctors.
Its action is always beneficial, as a single
trial will convince the most sceptical.
