Among the many queer stories related
in the old Jewish Talmud is one con-
corning the action taken by the great
race of giants at the time of the deluge.
According to Rabbi Eliezer, when the
food broke upon the earth the giants
exclaimed, eff all of the waters of the
earth be gathered together they will
only reach to our waists and if the
fountains Of the great deep be broken
up we will stamp them down again. I"
The same writer, who was one OF The
compilers of the Talmud, says that they
actually tried to do this when the food
finally came. Eliezer says that Og, their
leader, planted his foot upon the foun-
tain of the deep and with his hands
closed the windows OF heaven. Then,
according to this same queer story,
"God made the waters hot and boiled
the flesh from the bones of the naughty
giants. "
The Targum of Palestine also says
that the waters of the food were hot
and that the skin Of the rhinoceros lays
i'll folds because he was not allowed to
enter the ark, but saved himself by
hooking his horn under the sides OF the
vessel and floating with it. But the
water which was directly under and at
the sides of the ark was not hot-the
rhineroce1os loosened his skin swim
ming from mountain peak TO the side
of the vessel. One account says that Og
and another giant named Lami also
saved themselves by taking refuge in
the cool water under the edge of the
ark's hull. along with the rhinoceros.
One rabbinac authority quoted by Gould
in his "Patriarchs and Prophets says
that Og saved himself by climbing upon
the top of the ark, and that when Noah
discovered and tried to dislodge him he
swore to be slave to Noah's family
forever if allowed to remain. Louis

GROCERIES.

A mixture of groceries when the
articles are selected with care, cannot
fail to be appreciated. Everybody
knows our assortment is the best. We
constantly find room for delicacies
and our customers approve of our Sc
lection. California pressed white figs
reach this market only when specially
ordered. We have a large stock and
the fruit is perfect.
A. & C. uncovered hams cost more
than ordinary goods because it re-
quires twice as much time to prepare
them. Our uncovered hams are IS
days in sweet pickle, other brands are
ready for market in thirty days. Do
YOU see the difference? We have the
other grades as well.
Burbanks salinas potatoes are SUI
perior to any other, baked they are
simply perfect. We get them by every
steamer from California.

1t is not generally known that EN-
press Eugene was partly an Irish wom-
an. Yet upon one side she was descended
from an Irish soldier of fortune-thera
were any amount Of them-who made g
name and place for himself in the in
terminable Spanish wars. When there
was talk of her marrying the Emperor
Napoleon, some of the old nobility
sneered at her pedigree. Then came
heralds tracing out Irish blood lines
until the French authorities i'll disgust
conceded that EugeDie was descended
from all the royalties of Ireland back to
Brian ROrn.

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale OF
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import.
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy as u medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale OF
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process Of manuTact-
uring, figs are used, as they art
pleasant to the taste, and healthfuI
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
ative, and to act most beneiicially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan,
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen,
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down tc
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
