OF INTEREST TO MANAGERS
OF PLANTATIONS.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small engines.
Why not generate your power from oAe
CENTRAL Station? One generator can
furnish power to YOUR Pumps, Centn-
fugalS, Elevators, PlowS, Railways and
Hosts; also furnish light and power for
a radius Of from IS to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor OF hauling coal in your field, aiSu
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available it costs
nothing to generate Electric Power
The HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY
is now ready to furnish Electric Plants
and Generators of all descriptions at short
notice, and also has on hand largo
stock of Wire, Chandeliers and all EIec-
trical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt atten-
ton, and estimates furnished for Lighting

to House and Marine Wiring.

OLD SAMOAN WAYS.
Queer Custom of Tattooiug Among the


The Samoans are physically splen-
didly made race of a deep bronze color;
their hair is naturally black. but is con
verted by frequent dressings of lime,
which have bleaching effect, to a dull
reddish tint; this custom obtains both
with the men and the women. Their
arms and chests are specially well de-
veloped from their habit of padding
long distances in their canoes from
island to island; in fact, at SO great dis
tances from the mainland were these
natives seen by early travellers that this
group was christened the Navigator
islands. At this time. too, travellers re-
ported that the SamOans wore fine black
slleins reaching from the waist to a
short distance above the knee. This
report, though without foundation
in fact. was due TO the custom pos
sessed by these people of tattooing
themselves after that fashion, covering
about the same part of the body as
would pair of our bathing drawers.
All the men are thus tattoeed on ar
irving at maturity, says Westminster
Review, and are not allowed 10 take
unto themselves wives before the pain
full process is complete. Regular pro-
fessional tattooers are found among
the people, and the tattooing often oc-
cupies some months, as the patient
only undergoes as much as he can bear
at each operation. The designs tat
tooed are very ancient. and the present
generations are entirely ignorant of
their Specification. This latter fact APP
plies also TO the words of their rowing
songs, which they sing In perfect har-
mony and in time to their oars or pad
dies: the words sung are now obsolete,
and, like the tattooed designs, are not
understood by the people.

a DOGS LESSON.
He Was Taught TO BE Respectful to
Bears

Jack Mccall, of Gray Eagle Bar, was
out at the dog show and took a great
deal of interest in the foNhounds. for
up in the mountains of Placer Jack Is
known as a mighty deer hunter, says
the San Francisco Call. Sanderson,
whose dog Paddy took the first prize in
the challenge class, was talking of his
dogs merits. "FoXhounds," he said,
seldom know much more than To fol-
low scent. but Paddy is an exception.
| can drop my knife while out hunting.
and, after going on mile or more, send
him back for it and he will bring il to
me"
"You ought 10 see my dog Quartz"
said Mccall.
"Thoroughbred?" asked Sanderson.
"Oh. yes, yes. hes thoroughbred.
One Of the smartest dogs you ever saw.
Fine deer dog. too. He's half hound
and half scotch terrier"
Il thought you said he was thor
oughbred," said Judge w. Z. Lawlor,
who is the owner of prize winner.
"Well, if you saw him after deer you
would say he was a Thoroughbred" re-
dog shows zone day | was out pros
pecting and had no gun with me, and
we, Quartz and /, came upon a black
bear sitting up on his launches. Quartz
had never seen bear before, but had
often had fun with the wild hogs that
you may see sometimes in the noun
tains, and he supposed he had hog TO
deal with and rushed up 10 the bear
and made grab for him.
"The bear just reached out with one
paw, and, taking Quartz on the side of
the head, loosened one ear and sent
Mr.. Quartz rolling down hill. You
should have seen the intelligent look of
inquiry on that dogs face when | came
up 10 him. II asked as plainly as could
be: What kind of a hog was that, any
way?'"
