On the cross streets interscCt-
ny those running down from the
dope OF Punchbowl are some
very pretty residences and well
cared for grounds, and the roads
are fairly good between streets,
good enough to please most any
one, but the arrangement OF the
bitches or cutters is deplorable.
They are so far below the level
of the road that it makes it dan
gerous, particularly at night, for
people to drive over them. 1t is
well understood that deep gut
tiers are necessary in order to
carry off the water which flows
down the hill, and the anCients
used to construct bitches so
that when carriages crossed them
a broken spring was the result.
1t was rumored during that era
that the road builder was also a
carriage builder hence, the con-
nection. In modern times and in
countries adopting modern
methods it is customary to run
the water in such places under
ground and to cover the bitches
at cross streets with heavy
planks. 1t is understood that
during the next century, some
time, the same plan will be
adopted here. There is a certain
risk in following new ideas too
closely; some people like to have
them thoroughly tried.
Christmas is over and the poo
pie are settling down to plain
every day business and fixing up
their want list for the new year.
We have as complete a stock IN
general lines as may be found
anywhere in the Islands. TO as
certain Just what is included in
the general lines would require
your attention for several days,
perhaps longer. 1t would cost
a lot of money for us to tell you
of them all in this column. We
therefore only take two or three
items at time and dilate on
them. For instance: Today we
take stoves as a starter. You
probably never saw a better iron
stove in your life than the "Pan
sy,' it's good because it is eco
nomical of fuel and is a good
baker. Another point in its favor
is the fact that it burns wood OF
coal. One per cent. of the pur
chasers of the "Pansy" have OBJ
jected to it because there was nc
hot water back tosthe stove. We
have reduced this one per cent
to nil by obtaining water backs
from the factory. This is very
slight additional expense and
puts cheap stove on par with
a high priced one in the matter
Of convenience.
There are some people who
won't burn wood or coal on &C
count OF the eXpcnse;some OF then
wouldn use il they could get il
for nothing on account of the
bother. We accommodate such
people in selling them Dietz Oil
Stoves. You would be aston
ished at the number of these
stoves we have sold and the testi
monials we have received from
parties using them in Honolulu
There's a certain amount OF con
venienCe and economy abor,
them not obtained in any othe.
make of stove. The same sort o.
cooking may be done on a Diet
| Oil Stove as can be done on ar
iron stove and perhaps a little
quicker. We haven't a large
stock of the Dietz stoves; it's i'm
possible for us to keepthem peo
pie want them and while we have
them we sell them. If you should
call today you could get one
from us, tomorrow may be toe
late.
Haviland China is an article
in great demand by persons who
want their tables to look well
The "2Io6" we have been sell
ing for a long time, because
people admire the Carnatior
pattern. Some ladies object &c
it because their neighbors have
it. To combat this we have
lately added another design
called the 34S6, beautiful thing
and bound to be a go on account
Of the delicacy OF the pattern
You cannot make a mistake in
ordering either of them.
Solid silver ware is just as
good a buy after Christmas as
before, the price does not change
as with regular Christmas goods,
Solid ware is worth SO much a
pcrnyweight at any season OF the
year. There's economy in solid
silver spoons because they never
wear out-there's no plating tC
