favorable for full average yield.

declared, to promote commercial

TERMS.

Hawaii, SO long as she has IN
established government capable Of
maintaining law and order, has
certainly a right and it is her duty
to consider terms Of political
union with the United States. An
Act OF Congress reciting merely,
Hawaii is hereby annexed to the
United States" which has been
suggested as an acceptable means
of bringing this country under
the Union flag, might produce a
confusion of Authority tan
tamount to anarchy. The
BULLETIN cannot assent to
such short cut. Its own sug-
gestion of having the United
States accede to Hawaii's adoption
of the American flag under an in
dependent colonial status, for the
initial step toward complete State
hood, would be far better for both
sides. 1t would give us annexa-
ton Of our own free will when

FOOT-BINDING.

At the special session of the
Legislature in 1895, It will be re-
membered, a bill was passed to pro-
hibit foot. binding in these islands.
The act proved in the attempt to
operate it null and void owing
to its loose wording. There was
a lot of nonsense spoken and
printed when the bill was pend
ing, about social practices among
other nationalities alleged to be
almost, If not wholly, as
pernicious as this one pecu.
liar to the Chinese. Apart
from the soundness of the old
adage, that two wrongs do not
make a right, no practice of civil
lied society could be cited which
would parallel the cruelty of foot
binding. Not only is the
pain eXcruciating as evidence
ed by the anguished out
cries Of the subjects, but the fact
that these are helpless little girls
makes the practice most emphati-
cally outrageous. 1t ought to be
preyentible in this country under
the law of assault and battery
without special legislation. The
gratifying intelligence now
comes from China of an inAuen.
tial native movement for the abo-
lltion of foot binding. Particulars
are communicated to the Shanghai
Mercury by Alicia Bewicke Lit
tie, organizing secretary of for
eign women's society formed
eighteen months ago to combat
the thousand.year. old custom of
foot biudiug." This lady relates
how the unexpected has happen
ed, in the co operation OF a COM
bination OF the Chinese literati. 1t
is all the more remarkable when
this class has been held to have
been the particular enemies of |
progress. The walls of the city !
of Suitu had been placarded with
an anti foot binding appeal, sign

DIRECTIONS

DIRECTIONS
The coffee used should be
ground very fine and placed in
the inner chamber. Pour boil
ing water over the coffee,
cover and allow to remain on
the stove six or seven minutes.
When the coffee is made, raise
the inner chamber and faSten
with the set screw to strain.
The clear amber coffee remains
in the Coffee Pot ready to serve.
The inner chamber may be
lifted out if desired.
POINTS OF EXCELLENCE
1. ECONOMY-lt is a coffee
saver. In a short time it pays
for itself.
2. By using finely ground
coffee you are enabled to OBJ
tain every particle Of strength
contained in the coffee.
3. The cloth being stretched
tightly across the bottom of
the inner chamber to strain
the coffee, making large flat
surface, the coffee is strained
very readily.
. 4. The cloth used on the
inner chamber being adjustable,
it is easy to remove.
5. There is no place in the
inner chamber, Coffee Pot or
Straincr to collect the sediment
that may make the coffee
muddy.
6. There is no reason why |
you should not make coffee
exactly alike }65 mornings in
the wear, without the slightest |
variation.
I. The coffee will keep hot
longer, because the Coffee Pot
consists of two thicknesseS
instead of one.
8. You can make one cup of !,
coffee as we'll and as salts
factorily as a pot full.
9. The inner chamber may
be removed and washed, and
the clear strained coffee may
be saved for lunch.
10. By not subjecting the
Coffee Pot to extreme heat it
last a lifetime.
We have these new coffee
pots in one, two, three and
four quart sizes and sell them
at the San Francisco retail price.
We have also a fine line OF the
old fashioned earthenware tea
pots and something new in the
shape of improved tea strainers,
are both ornamental
and cheap.
We have a full line of !
kitchen ware in tin and agate.

The debate was closely contested,
but the university men early showed
their superiority over the cream city

Severe Losses Sustained and Inflicted

THE TROLLEY.
There are Many Forms Besides the
One Used in This Country.

A recent decision in one Of the fed
eral courts, has awarded the priority
of invention Ct the trolley to a natura-
liZed Belgian, who died some years ago,
in regard to the little undermining
wheel which makes contact, at the end
Of the long pole, with the wire which
brings the current from the power
house to the cars on the road
Street railway practice has settled
down to the use of this device all over
the United States, but as a matter Of
fact many other devices have been
tried and some are in regular use, es-
pccially in Europe. In America, an
early form was a real little trolley"
hence the present misnOmer-w which
ran along on top of the wire, but was
always tumbling off and hitting the
roof Of the car with noise like thun-
der. The scared passengers often
thought it was an explosion of cleo
patience putting the device back on the
wire with the aid of forked sticks car
licd for that special purpose.
Another method tried in this country
with fair success, was to run a sort of
metal shoe along in sliding contract
with the wire.
In Europe for many years a split
tube sliding over and around the wire
has been used with excellent results,
but the most popular form IS a trolley
pole with cap of bert wire, making
it look like an exaggerated letter r.;
and this is sometimes modified toto a
triangular shape Of wire, suppo tel
from the ear roof. Both these scrape
along under the wire, and the : width
gives them plenty of play. In tbs
country one of the very latest foms
has trolley wheel pressing against
the side Of the wire, Just as though
the top Of the ordinary trolley pole
has been bent over
