pigeons are well enough for pas
time or for an emergency means |
of communication. What is
wanted, however, for the pur-
poses of the islands is tested, |
approved and certain means of
sending and receiving messages
day and night, in season and out
OF season. Other countries and
people have more funds for eX-
perimcnts 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-
tons 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 differcnton what the paper
says, he'llremark that the editor
is a fool. And this thing of &C.
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 tC
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 indI
vidual who thinks he should be
general manager of this or that
"whole works, when he is fitted
by education, training and native
ability for 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 Veto
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 ;
windmill is the leaking of the
tank. When the water is low
l the tank shrinks and OF course
leaks. If you examine our mode
of the Patent Non Shrinking
f Tank you will see its advantages
The tank is made with a deeI
channel or groove IN the top 0
the slaves. This groove is filled
with water from pump dischargt
which, by absorption, passes into
the pores of the wood, keeping
the entire tank moist at all time
' and preventing shrinkage. Tn,
incoming water from the puml
discharge first fills the channel
and the surplus passes into tn,
, tank, flowing down the inne
; surface of the tank wall. Tn,
object of this is to keep the joint
tight.
While we are talking of waite
supply we wish to keep befor'
S your mind the superiority OF tn,

=, water comes through this pecu
liar quality of stone as pure anC
clear as it possibly can be. tt
clean the stone just brush the toI
every morning.
Next to having pure water t
drink, is having comfortable anC
: clean bathing. Our cast irol
enameled bath tub. nickl,
plated fittings are such delight
ful things that once partaking o
r their pleasures you leave then
with sigh.
We are a long ways from Bos
> ton, but there are quite numbe
OF residents here from that par
OF the universe. 1t is said, anC
no doubt true, that one OF tn,
/ chief things that make Boston
people so clever is their diet o
: pork and beans. This is a deli
cious dish whether it make
brains or not, and lots Of othe
people like them too. Thu
oRH proper way to cook thi
toothsome food is in eartherl
ware pots made expressly To-
the purpose. We have the pot
in two sizes tor large and small
families or for large or small
appetites.
We desire to call your atten
ton to the fact that while speak
ing of specialties each week, we
also keep up our stock OF staple
goods. Our fiat solid ware Is
ust as good as ever and new de
signs are being added constantly
There is nothing that a house
wife admires SO much as her
collection OF shining silver.
