/. Avoid tight-itting hats and collars,
also close fitting caps unless these
be of some porous material. The

were, on short all the time the

AL over Germany are societies
or unions organized to encourage
colonisation and to help to extend
the foreign markets, projecting all
kinds of schemes for bringing Ger
man products to the notice of
toreigners. In connection with
these unions are the commercial
schools, the strongest of which is
.hat of the Hamburg Union, for
clerks. This num-
bers upwards of 40 200 members,
and with a capital of $500. In
the 40 years of its existence it
has found places for 40, 1000 young
men. Kept in constant contact
with home by correspondence,
emigrating clerks or merchants
make themselves for the Father
land, and, ever close to each other
by the bonds of such unions, un-
consciously it may seem some
times, but nevertheless with Ger
tainty, they find foreign markets
for home products and situations
for German clerks.

RATHER SMALL POTATOES.
BJow Japan is Using Her Power I'm
Corea.

Japan is attempting to stimu-
late trade with Corea in a rather
curious fashion. 1t is stated in
British Foreign Office report on
the trade of Corea that silk piece
goods from China have fallen off
materially. This is due, no doubt,
70 the war, but it may be men
&ioned, as one of the petty reforms
that have lately been introduced
iuto this country, that the wear
ing of Chinese silk has been pro-
hibited by law, and all officials
are called upon to dress them
selves in silk of native manufac-
ture. This rule, which was never
approved of by its promulgator,
was manifostly intended to stihe
the Chinese silk piece goods trade
IN this country, but it has been
quietly ignored, the few Coreans
who had adopted the prescribed
fabrics and colors quietly drop
ping them and reverting to the
Did style of garment and material.
Another reform, which if
strictly carried out would have
benefited the japanese tobacco
trade, was the sudden prohibition
of the use of long pipes in the
street. The Corean pipe is 3 feet
long, and is hardly ever out Of its
owners mouth, and it was a novel
experience for the first few days
after the prohibition was an
nounced to see the natives in the
city without their never-failing
companion in their hands. Gig
.arettes of japanese manufacture
were largely smoked in place of
Ghe pipes, but after a short tine
the pipes re appeared with a
couple of feet cut off the stem.
As these were passed by the
police the stems are now gradual
Iy getting longer, and will pro-
baby assume before long their
normal dimensions. The history
Of the pipe movement is typical
of the fate of all reforms hitherto
adopted in this country. The
import of cigarettes, mostly Japa-
nese, amounted to 80 $50 mile at
Chemulpo, against 1913 mile in
1898. At the other ports there
was practically no import.

G9UR aim since the or
Oganization of the firm
has been to supply the
people of Honolulu with
first class furniture at a
~ c d ium price. The e
growth of the business is
the best evidence we can
offer as a verification
that we have never di-.
verged from our motto.
In this advertisement
we call your attention in
a general way to the var
ious articles of furniture
we carry by submitting
a few designs of pieces
that should be In every
home.
CHINA CLOSETS are as
much in demand as bed
steads, they are no long
er in the list of luxuries;
the craze for collecting
odd bits of China or brio
a brac, and the desire to
keep them In a conven-
lent place for showing
to one S friends, has made
the China closet indis-
pensable. We have them
in various styles, single
or double, for wall or
corner. Those in an
,tique oak are fashionable
because they are service
able, the durability of
the finish on oak has the
seflect of making them al
ways appear new.

I NE bureau is scarcely ade-
- quate to hold all the shirts,
underwear, etc, of gentleman
and wife; two bureaus in Il room
make it lop-sided particularly
when they are not the same pat
tern. A CHIFFoNIER, no matter
what the design or color, adds
finish to the room just as a piano
does to a parlor.
1t may sound egotistical, but we
believe we have the largest stock
OF these articles to select from
outside San Francisco.
Oak is the style oftenest selected
for the same reason as given re-
garding China closets, but with
our stock there is no limit as to
style of wood. Oak, Birch or Ash,
it is all the same, we can supply
them in twenty odd styles. We
have them with or without toilets;
plain top and with either German
or French bevel mirrors, and
polished or vanished surface.
The half dozen drawers in
Chiffonier make it possible to
separate the clothes and keep them
always in place. If youhave ever
had one you know the value; if
you have not get one while the
price is below bedrock.

Almost a Stampede.

Yesterday afternoon at the cir.
cur performance when the ap.
preaching little shower and blow
was observed, the boss tent man
called all hands to peg down the
tent tightly and tauten the ropes,
for safety. He Issued the call by
blowing a police whistle, and the
male portion of the audience at
once made a rush to see what the
supposed fight was about. The
rush almost caused a stampede
among the ladies and children and
it was only through the efforts Of
several cool headed gentlemen
that this was avoided, as they
stepped out in front of the au-
dience and commanded all to be
quiet and assured them there was
no cause for alarm.
