Even with a super abund-
ance of depredatory bugs the
average woman of Honolulu
takes a great interest in
plants. The taste of many
runs to ferns because they
are little or no trouble to
raise. And there is money
in it to persons who wish to
raise them for sale. A plant
for quarter will be worth
two or three dollars in a
year if properly attended to.
That's the reason we in
cluded Fern pans of Eng
lish pottery among our
goods.
They are new here and
have never been seen before.
If you are raising ferns come
and look at our ~window.
We've lots of things in there
suited to the flower garden
or in the house.
In the celebrated Mon
mouth Pottery we have
Stone Jars holding from a
half gallon to ten. Then
there are Butter Crooks, Fruit
Jars, Bean Pots, Stew Pans
and Water Pots.
The factory at Monmouth,
Illinois, holds the record for
the best glazing on stone of
any place in the United
States. 1t is their goods we
handle. We have also small
and large flower pots, with
and without saucerS, and alb
solutely perfect. We carry
no second quality. Then
we have other and cheaper
flower pots Of English and
American make.

ON THE BEACH.

l sit alone in foam and spray,
Wave after wave
Breaks on the rocks which, stern and
gray,
Shoulder the broken tide away,
Or murmurs hoarse and strong through
messy cleft and cave.
What heed l of the dusty land
And noisy town?
l see the mighty deep expand
From its white line of glimmering sand
To where the blue of heaven on blue
waves shuts down.
In istless quietude of mind
l yield to all
The change Of cloud and wave and
wind;
And passive on the flood reclined,
l wander with the waves, and with
them rise and fall.
But look, thou dreamer: Wave and
shore
In shadow lie,
The night wind warns me back once
more
To where, my native hilltops DER,
Bend like an arch of fire the glowing
sunset sky.
So then, beach, bluff and wave, fare
we'll!
No token stone nor glittering shell
I bear with me,
But long and oft shall memory tell
Of this brief, thoughtful hour of musing
by the sea.

CHINESE CUSTOMS.

Prefer Foreign Stockholders.

Experience of COntractOr-They
Prefer Foreign Stockholders.
NEW YORK, July 31.-M. r. Jefferds,
an American civil engineer and rail
road contractor, has arrived in this city
from Europe .Jefferds left London a
year ago to travel in the Orient, prin-
cipally to look in the possibilities for
the development of China as an Ameri-
can market and as a country affording
advantageous opportunities for the in
vestment of American capital.
Jefferds believes that the commonly
accepted conception of the Chinese op-
position to foreigners is entirely wrong.
Chinese prejudice that does exist is
justified by the narrowness and stupid
ity of those who have gone into the
East as representatives of Western civ
ilization. In pursuing his present plans,
the American engineer has had to meet
not only the competition of German.
Russian, French, English and Belgian
engineers, but also with the prejudice
aroused by the INSCRIPTIONS and short
sighted policy of those to whom such
privileges have been granted in the
past.
In the latter part of last year. said
Jefferds to-day. ''Hsu Yin Tshang, Tao
tai of Kwang Tung, was appointed by
the Prince Kung at the request Of the
Emperor to secure subscriptions from
Chinese capitalists and to organize the
Picking and Hankow Railroad Com
pany. The decree permitted him to ac
cept subscriptions of foreign capitalists
to the extent of 80 per cent. of the total
sum required.
THE Chinese will not go into COM
pany in which there are no foreigners,
as they mistrust one another. They re-
gard a small proportion of the stock in
the hands of reputable foreign investors
as an assurance that the interests of the
corporation will be carefully garded.

MAKING THE BLIND SEE.
Partially Successful Experiment
by an Electrician.


NEW YORK, July 31-Walter w
Felts, an electrician and inventor from
California, now living in this city, is to
make a determined effort 70 earn the
million dollars offered by Charles Rouss
to any one who will cure him OF blind
ness.
Mr.. Felts suggests electrical treat
ment by means Of primary battery OF
his own invention. Experiments have
been made on John F. Martin, the blind
as Rouss' substitute for the purpose,
and the results achieved in a few days
have awakened hope in the millionaire's
breast. 1t is said that Martin is very
slowly, but surely recovering the use of
his eyes. Mr.. Felts' theory is that with
his battery he can apply electricity in
such form to diseased optic nerves as to
fully restore their usefulness. He claims
that his battery of four cells is not sub
ject to polarization and does not trans
nit impurities in the passage of the
current through the brain, by which
alone the optical nerves can be effec-
lively reached. In explaining his pro-
cess and apparatus to-day Mr.. Felts
said:
1T has rarely been believed by cleo
tricians that a perfect voltage and am
perage with a steady current could be
obtained with primary battery, but l
have demonstrated this My cells are
six inches by eight inches in size. The
properties of the fluids in the cells are
my secret, and [ have not yet obtained
patents on them. | cured my wife of
paralysis of the nerves of the jaw, and
| think | can do the same thing with
the optic nerve. | used a stronger cur
rent on the jaw than I dare use with the
eye, as it must pass through the brain.
AS yet the highest current l have given
Martin has been nearly ten volts and
fifteen amperes."
This process of electricity was applied
to John F. Martin to-day. Martin is
about twenty-six years of age. When
he was led into the room it was seen
that his eyes were wide open, but he
was almost absolutely sightless. Nine
years ago his vision began TO fail, and
to-day he can distinguish a figure in
| strong light only as vague shadow.
Before treating the blind man, Mr.. Felts
attached the ends of two wires connect
ing with his cells to a small incandes-
cent lamp of eight candle power, which
is just half the size of the ordinary cleo
trio light. This Immediately glowed
with great brilliancy. Martin then sat
in a chair, and two sponge remitters
having been attached to the battery,
were applied at either side Of the head,
ljc-1ot w frE r6 of q
ear. Martin says he felt a slight sting
ing feeling, at the places Of contact and
tingling of the nerves within his head.
He also said he saw flashes Of light be-
| fore his eyes. This, Mr.. Felts argued,
proved that the optic nerve was not
dead, but merely paralyZed.
Fash application extends over an
hour, and the patient is treated twice a
day Were it possible to apply higher
dmperage through the brain, Mr.. ~Felts
says he could cure Martin in two weeks.
As it is he is confident the young mans
sight wills be restored in as many
months.

Spellin' Bee.

The spelling bee Thursday evening
was an unqualified success socially and
otherwise. A hundred people assembled
in A. 0. L. w. hall upon the invitation
of ladies of the M. f. church, and Il fine
concert by local talent was rendered.
A chorus of mixed voices rendered a
few selections and several special fea-
lures were given in song and declama-
ton. The spelling bee was full of fun
and almost every speller missed his
word and lost his place by accident. In
fact the prize winners by accident were
Prof. Bryant and Larissa Putnam.
The participants all had a glorious
time and the interest was SO marked that
it is already talked of holding another
in the neal future, F. A. Preston
chaired the proceedings, Z. A. Shaw
pronounced the words, and r. Bennett,
Dan Condor and G.. L. McGibbon acted
as judges. The spoilers had occasion to
wake the judges only once in the whole
evening.

The Tramp Nuisan ce.

'Boes and blanket Stiffs are becoming
so thick about Ncihart that the residents
are spending considerable time in dis
cussing means to their determination.
We state for the public benefit that John
Banner, proprietor of the Neihart res
taurant. has contriyed Il signal and eff
fectual method of disposing of vags,
stiffs and all such. He fixes them plcn-
ty. And the public will do we'll to fol-
low Mr.. Banners curse.
Last Tuesday night aNmember of the
large and growing tribe of DO came into
the kitchen of the Neihart restaurant,
and while the proprietor's back was
turned deliberately seized a coat and
hat, hanging near by, and started out
the back door with his booty. Mr..
Bonner saw his plunderous f%etreat, in
time to grasp at once the situation and a
stick of stove wood, and icin in the elc-
giant proceeding. He overhaulcd the
petit-larceny son of Acham, not far
down the side walk, without entering Il
verbose legal discussion as to the rela-
tive or absolute rights of property,
he dealt the fleeing thief such Il blow
with the stick as to put him temporarily
out of misery.
When the smoke of battle had cleared
away and the DO knew enough to per
ceive that he had come out second best,
Banner had secured his stuff before the
porter house steaks and Russian toast he
left on the range had had time to
burn. But the vanquished stiff had Il
cash in his head like a slit in Il sheet
and the ground looked as if the neigh
bors had been killing hogs in that quar-
ter.

St. Patrick's day was duly observed,

A Legend of AgincOurt.

For many centuries we English
have plumed ourselves upon the vic
tory of A%gincourt. Indeed it is from
King Henry VS. address to his sol
diers on that occasion, as given by
Shakespeare, that the motto Of this
journal is taken, Familiar in their
mouths as household words" But
the French have an account of the
affair not SO much to our credit. 1t
was arranged-according to this ia
ble-by the two leaders that only
the mobiles on each side were to fight.
King Henry V then artfHlly en-
nobled his whole army and hence
got the best of the enemy. Shakes.
peare unwittingly gives a little
countenance to the legend when he
makes the king declare in the above
mentioned address, "Be ye meier SC
vile, this day shall gentle your con.
dition. "-Household Words.

The Black Diamond.

Chas.. Paul. Max and Hans Roehl are
working on the Black Diamond group
of mines in Snow creek. \ great deal
of work has been done on this property.
1t lies north and east of the famous Ben
ton group, and is classed among the
most promising mines of camp. The
Crystal lode is opened by a15 feet of
tunnel. which shows ore most of the
way. Recent samples of the vein
showed it to contain two rich steaks of
ore, assaying into the hundreds of dol
lars per ton, and well defined for Il dis
tance of over 100 feet. Mr.. Davis. the
assayer at the Broadwater, was engaged
to ascertain the value Of this vein. He
found that the ore appears in paying
quantities, and that the sample from one
of the pay streaks averaged 1.5 ounces
or $3C of gold, and 1876 ounce of sill
yer per ton. The other contains AZ
ounces or SS4 of gold and 1904 ounces
of silver.
The owners are cleaning out the tun-
nels, and preparing to rise on the ore,
Slopes will he opened and before long
a car load of the mineral will be sent
away for treatment. These courageous
boys have done a large amount of work
wholesome development and it is graft.
fying now to note that their labors have
been rewarded.
