the quietest elections ever held
in Honolulu or elsewhere. 1t
was a good deal like some of
the elections in the South
American republics where you
always vote the government
ticket or stay away from the
polls. Although only Al
votes were cast, that number
was even larger than was ex-
pected.
Talking about the election,
however, reminds us that we
have just received novelty in
the shape of a newly invented
can opener, which is simplicity
itself. 1t is called the A. &C.,
and we are the only firm hand
ling them. This can opener is
different to any other in use.
1t takes the entire top of the
can off with single turn of
the wrist. All you have to do
is to lay the machine on the
top of the can, strike a little
wooden knob similar to those
used in opening soda-water
bottles and the can opener does
the rest. There is no possibil-
ity of injurins the hands or
losing your temper.
Did we hear anyone call out
rats" We thought we did,
and that brings to our mind
another novelty in the shape of
a French rat trap. This is a
family concern and will accom-
modate whole families of these
peStiferouS rodents. Mr.. Rat
walks into the trap until he
reaches a little platform which
gives way under his weight
and he is caught before he
knows where he is, being
landed in an entirely different
compartment to that which he
first entered. Mrs. Rat follows
to see what the old man was
doing out so late at night and
soon joins him. We have
caught ten rats in one night in
one of theSe. traps. They must
be seen to be appreciated.
This warm weather makes
one think of ice-cream and
an ice-cream freezer that
will suit a small. family is
a desideratum. We have just
imported a new style of freezer
which cannot fail to commend
itself by its usefulness. 1t is
provided with a heavy cap
which fits tightly over the re-
ceptacle holding the cream,
and is so constructed as to re-
quire less ice, less salt and less
timsin freezing. If you want

Remarkable Twins.

Mr. II. c. Rountree, a merchant AT NO.
H. Commerce street. has two brothers so
much alike that the members or their
own family cannot tell them spart. They
are named John and William Rountree.
and are brothers OF Mr. II. c. Rountree.
They are twins, and are now nifty years
old. The were born in this city, and
were sons of the late John Rountree.
When children they were so much alike
both IN appearance. disposition and man.
ner of speech that their own parents
were compelled to tie pieces of blue and
red ribbon on their clothing TO disting-
uish them apart. The similarity OF the
BOYS was 50 marked that it proved
a continual source of merriment TO their
relatives and friends. At times the boys
would exchange ribbons. but one day
during this disguise William got thrash
ing in mistake for something John had
done. This put an end TO that kind OF
thing When the boys grew 10 man
hood the resemblance remained the
same. They dressed alike and even
spIouted the same kind of mustaches.
Both secured positions in the same store,
but the manager could not tell them
apart so William sought employment in
a drug store and John learned to dis
pense articles In a notion house. Eigh-
teen years ago both of them left this
city. William went TO Lewistown. Pa.
and opened grocery store. while John
went TO Bcllefonte, Pa, and did the same
thing. Both places are in the same
county. and TO the residents there they
are "a human enigma even TO this day.

An amusing story is told OF gentle
man living in London. As the anecdote
goes, it seems that he had passion Tor
the purchase OF secondhand furniture
at auctions. and that In making good
bargains he had filled his house with
antiquated and almost useless articles.
Upon one occasion his wife took the re-
sponsibility. without consulting her nus
band. to have portion Of the least use
ful OF the pieces removed 10 an AUCTION

when. on the evening OF the day OF the
sale, the majority of the articles came
hack 10 the house. The husband had
stumbled into the aucfion-room, and.
not knowing his own furniture. had pur-
chased II at better bargain than at
first.-Harper's Round Table.
