'Yon see there are no papers here: Aud when woman bnyes, How can she tell who sells the best When they don't advertise? So l am going to wait until They advertise awhile; I'd rather wear fig leaf than Get something out of style"

Put a ring around the word
= opportunity = the occasion
makes it. Never in the history
of mercantile transactions in
Honolulu have the people had
such a golden opportunity to
select a lamp as to-day. A man
ufacturer who had more than he
knew what to do with, more
than he had space to put them,
wrote us of his troubles. We
had none Of our own so we lis
tened to him. Our stock of
lamps is the result of his tale of
woe and you get the benefit.
A black lamp that will give
a bright light is not a fad, but
style that will remain until
"New Hawaii" shall become old.
Being sombre in color they fur
nish with any decorations you
may have in your room and any
color shade that suits your fancy
will look well on the lamp.
For a dinner table nothing
furnishes better than black BAN
quet lamps. We have them, not
cumbersome, but Of height
that. will beautify rather than
detract from the other features.
We have piano lamps, hall
lamps, boudoir lamps and every
other character of lamp that ever
was made. The prices are so
low that it would injure our
business to put them in this
column.

Double Shots at Game,

The pride Of sportsman is to make
q good double at game. Take ruffed
grouse hunter, for instance. He puts
up two of the birds at once. They
go whirring off through the brush and
are brought down one after the other.
That makes the hunter happy.
A Texas deer hunter riding along on
horseback once saw a couple of deer
leap from their beds and start eff gil a
jump. H6 dropped both, one with
each bSrrel; they were big bucks.
A hunter in Wisconsin saw three
bears fleeing away through the timber.
He killed two of them and wounded
the third SO that he got it the next
day.
A German hunting hsres with 16
gauge shotgun loaded with No. 3 shot
saw two deer running, one behind the
other He killed them both at twenty
yards.
Men on the plains in the days when
antelopes were far more plentiful than
now used to get within shot of bunch
and then, by shooting the leaders,
manage to get all the bunch. 1t was
the same with elk, while buffaloes were
killed by dozens; but such shots were
not pleasing to the men who made
them in any other sense than that they
brought SO much money. This was
market hunting.

Pats TtCo Reasons.

There is an Irish porter employed
in large commission house in New
York, one of the kind that will make a
witty reply to any sort OF question.
He is very fond of expressing his views
in general, and has great admiration
of his arguments. III he fails to get a
listener he will talk to himself in lieu
of something better. A member of
the firm being annoyed one day at his
constant muttering, which he was un-
fortunate enough to hear, sent for
him.
"See here, Pat, did it ever occur
to you that your constant talk and
muttering is great annoyance to
people who happen to be around?
Why on earth do you chatter away to
yourself, anyhow"
''Shure have two reasons fer doin'
that"
"Two reasonsl Well, what are
they?"
"One of them is that loike ter talk

that loike ter hear sinsible man

A VOman's Rights Bird.

One of the most interesting spe-
cies of birds, says the London Daily
News, is the rednecked phalarope, a
beautiful bird, of which we see little
in these islands, but which is upon its
native heath in the arctic regions of
America. 1t is especially remarkable
because, as rarely happens among
birds, the female is larger and more
brightly colored than her mate. And
it is the hen bird that does all the
counting. "Thg male" says Mr.. Ell
lot. sis as coy and retiring as the
most bashful maiden, turning away
from the proffered attentions, first
to this side, then to that, even flying
to the opposite side of the pool, or to
another near by; but all in vain, for
he is followed by the fair one who has
chosen him from his fellows, and there
is no escape. At last, like any other
poor bachelor SO beset, he yields, and
the nest, slight structure of dry
stalks, is placed in the center of a
thick tuft of grass. The eggs are four
in number. On these the poor male,
a victim to woman's rights, is obliged
to sit the greater part of the time, the
female amusing herself on the pool
