Novelties in household uten-
sis are not altogether new in
Honolulu; ether dealers have
had them but the assortment
has usually been Limited to a
half dozen articles in the same
line.
In providing for the wants
Of the people on the islands,
we have gone a step farther
and secured novelties Of nearly
two hundred different kinds;
little things, some Of them,
and selling as low as ten cents,
but they are useful and their
adoption by housekeepers
makes life easier.
One of the new ones we
have is a Roach trap, and if
there is house in Honolulu
where an article of this cbarac-
ter is not needed, we would
like to know where it is.
This roach catcher differs
from any we have ever seen
and the effect upon the roach
is surprising. 1t looks a good
deal like a small, old fashioned
cuspidore, and it is as neat as
a new pin in appearance. A
little cup at the top holds the
molasses; just below is a yawn-
ING chasm and, as the reaches
crowd around the 'lasses cup
they topple over into the chasm
and there they remain unit
they are dumped into the fire.
It's rough on the roach but it's
a good thing for folks in the
house.
Another good thing is the
Sanitary sink basket; costs fifty
cents and is a positive prevent
i've to choked pipes. You've
seen the basket advertised il
high class magazines, perhaps
and understand them. Tc
those who have not the only
description to be given is tc
say it is a three cornered en-
ameled wire basket which fits
in the sink directly over the
discharge pipe. When throwing
refuse into the sink drop i
into the basket; the liquid runs
off and the solids remain to bC
emptied into the refuse bucket

Tho Death Of Hannibal.

Hannibal was made an exile, not as
commonly supported, through Roman
influence SO much as from the personal
animosity of his countrymen. After the
defeat at Zimma he turned his atten-
ton to the political affairs OF Carthage,
and inaugurated system OF reform
which he carried out so vigorously that
he soon found himself intensely hated
by large faction of the Carthaginians.
Behind him was the honesty of the
country, however, and, finding he could
not be swerved from his purpose, the
rogues in Office attempted to assassin
ate him. Finding that his death had
been determined on Hannibal left Car
thage, went to Tyre, and thence to the
dominions of Antiochus, whom he soon
enlisted in war with Rome. The war
proved a failure, and Antiochus was
ordered to surrender Hannibal, who
got news of the demand and made his
escape. Roman hatred followed him to
Bithynia, and, finding himself on the
point of being given up, he died from
poison. The story that he once had a
meeting at Ephesus with his old enc
my, Scipio Africanus, is told on fairly
good authority.

is a certain number of magnificent
Cashmere shawls, which are dispatched
TO her every year from the kingdom OF
Cashmere. They vary in value, as a
rule, from three hundred to twelve
hundred dollars apiece and the queen
is accustomed to present one OF them
as a wedding present to every young
girl of the aristocracy or in whose fu-
ture she is in any way interested.
Every tailor holding patent of "Pur-
veyor to her Majesty" if he conforms
to ancient tradition and usage, should
present her with silver needle each
year.
Another class of royal purveyors is
called upon to present annually to her
a table cloth, while from other sources
she is entitled to an annual contribu-
ton of such varied tips as white doves,
white hares, ,eurrycombs, fire tongs, scar
let hosiery, nightcaps, knives, ,lanees and

REPRODUCTION IN MICROBES.
Two Million individuals From q Single
Specimen.

Specimen.
The old line of pseudo scientists, the
superstitious, self-styled scholars" of
the early part of this and the latter
part of the eighteenth century, be-
lieved that filth would breed microbes,
but, as the absurd idea of "spon-
taneous generation" has long since
been exploded, it will not be discussed
in this mote, ~ which is solely intended
TO explain the manner in which mi
crobes multiply. There are several
species of these minute creatures and
they have various ways of reproducing
their species, but the most common is
what the investigators term repro
duction by fssure." If, with strong
microscope, we carefully watch mi
crobe for short time we see ''con-
striction' appearing on each side in
the center of the body. This soon
shows itself in the shape of line
across, and then, all of sudden, the
nicrobe separates in the middle and
behold, we have two in place of one!
Each of these rapidly increases in size
until they are as large as the original,
when the miracle of the side spots and
transverse line appears and in place of
two microbes we have four. By this
wonderful plan of reproduction one
increases to two, two to four, four to
eight and eight to sixteen until within
the space of five hours we have two
million wiggling individuals from a
single specimen.

TRICK WITH A BANK BILL.
A Man Who Planned Good Joke on His
Boston Friends.

A man walked into hotel near the
Grand Central station early the other
morning, having just left a train. He
ordered and ate hearty breakfast and
then, instead of giving his waiter the
money to pay the check and waiting
for the change, as most men do, he
clipped" the waiter and carried the
bill to the cashierO In his hand, says
the New York Tribune, along with the
bill for his breakfast, he held a ten
dollar note.
81 wish," he said to the cashier,
shat you would pin slip of paper to
this bank bill, so that you can identify
it, and then put it away, please, until
/ call for it. I'll be back tomorrow"
The cashier looked rather aston
ished
"Yes," said the other. 81 only want
to leave 1t here as security for my
breakfast. I'll come back to get it."
"But it's good BILL" said the CASH
ier. "Tll accept it and give you the
change"
"No," replied the stranger. II don't
want you to do that Iwant merely to
leave this bank bill in pawn. Iwant to
pledge it. Give me the price of my
breakfast on it, and tomorrow I'll re-
deem it."
"Oh, see," said the cashier, with a
smile, "you want to keep this bill be-
cause it has some peculiar value through
association It's sort of a souvenir,
eh?'
''Well, not exactly" was the answer.
'You see, have been over in Boston
l went nearly broke there. When l
was coming away some of my friends
insisted on lending me some money. l
told them that l should not need it,
but they declared l could not pull
through One of them forced ten dol
lars on me-"
"'Ill tell you what I'll do I said.
You take down the number and date
of this bill. I'm coming to Boston
again next week. Now to prove to
you that don't need this ten dollars,
I'll bet you that bring the same bill
back with me, I'll bet dinner for us
ALL
'They took the bet, and that is why
want to put this bill in pawn. Pretty
good joke on them, eh?" he said, with
a wink. Il spend it, and yet keep it.
Take good care of it for me-" and he
went out, looking Ikea conqueror.
About five minutes later the cashier
took out the bill, pinned the slip of pa
per to another one of about the same
color and appearance, and slipped them
back into his cash-drawer.
u wonder who'll have the joke on
him, nowP" he said to himself, and then
he whistled softly.

Many Instances of Death Being Due to
Grief, Fear, Etc.

Many Instances of Death Being Due to
Grief, Fear, Etc.
Grief does not kill, and it is, indeed,
very seldom that Eheavy sorrow causes
death to anyone when in healthy con-
dition, says writer in the Buffalo
Times. 1t is, however, very often the
indirect cause of death, either by
bringing disease to climax or by rem
dering the sufferer more liable to its at
tack. II a man is convinced that his
grief is more than he can bear those
who have studied the matter agree
that through the force of his own
imagination the man will actually die
of "broken heart"
The great Napoleon was killed by an
internal disease, but it is supposed
that it would not have been fatal had
not his spirits been so depressed through
exile and defeat. William Platt, the
orator, is said to have died of a broken
heart" caused by his great grief at the
failure of his cherished hopes and
plans And there have been many
other such instances in the history of
this country. When plaques are raging
in a town statistics show that as
many die from fright and imaginary
causes as from the real epidemic, so
great n hold has the fear of death on
some people.
Ii man is condemned to be shot it
has often occurred that on the word
fire" he has dropped lifeless, although
through accident or design, no bullet
has in reality left the gun.
There is a queer case on record con-
cerning the daughter of celebrated
French novelist, who was deeply inter-
ested in one of her fathers stories. 1t
appeared'in installments, and the hero
inc was suffering from consumption.
AS the girl brooded over the sad fate of
the heroine she, too, suddenly mani
tested the same symptoms. A physician
recommended the father to restore the
heroine to health, which he did a few
chapters on, and at the same time as
the girl in the novel recovered, SO also
did his too sentimental daughter.

AN EARLY lRoNULAD.
II Was Built to Break Through the
Spanish Lines.


The idea of protected ships, such as
the modern men-of-war, is by no means
an absolutely new one. This is proved,
says the Western Mail, of Cardiff, by
the fact that an armored vessel was
constructed, though crudely, of course,
as far back as 1885 by shipwright of
Antwerp during the wars between the
Spaniards and the Dutch In the sum-
mer of 1885 Antwerp was invaded by
the Spaniards both by land and water,
and the people Of Antwerp built the
first protected ship on record in an at
tempt to break through the line of be-
siegers in the river. 1t was d craft of
unusual size, with fiat bottom, its sides
armed with iron plates fastened into
great beams of wood, When finished
the builders thought tia floating castle,
impregnable to the artillery and mis-
silcS OF those days, which should crush
all opposition, as it contained great
number Of men, somo of whom were
placed like sharpshooters in the tops Of
the masts, and the rest protected by
the bulwarks.
They were so confident that the craft
would rout the enemy that they called
it"Finis Belli," thinking it no doubt
would put an end to the war, Unfor-
tunately, however, the early icoaelad
proved q disastrous failure, getting
stuck upon u bank of the Seheldt after
very short and unhappy career. The

The Women of Different Nationalitiea
Easily Distinguished.
You can tell at glance the French
woman from the American, the latter
from the English woman, and yet, says
the Paris-New York Herald, each wom-
an is perfect type.
The well-dressed Frenchwoman
wears very large hat or exquisite
toque; her chiffon blouse has short
sleeves, and is made with rundown
collar; her gloves are very long, reach
ing far above the elbow, and, although
white, are perfectly clean and fresh.
She has a waist at whatever sacrifice,
also hips. She wears white veil,
which she never puts on, under her hat,
and when she walks, which is seldom,
it is on the tips of her toes.
The well-dressed English woman
wears in the morning mans colored
shirt, with white collar, a mans neck
tie, tailor-made white drill or holland
jacket and skirt, pretty hat with flow
ers, with veil plastered over the face to
keep the fringe in curl
She has agood figure and is very tall,
does not wear high heels and uses her

tion of these twq. With great acute
ness she selects the best points Of each,
but you would never take her for any
body but herself. She is rather inclined
to the enormous hats of the French,
but she does not wear short sleeves
and low necks with them.
She is always appropriately dressed
and has a costume for every occasion
which always seems the very best
thing that she could have chosen. She
seems to have calculated all weathers
and all occurrences with an eye to her
dress-hence her success.

Spaniards were greatly amused with
the untimely end of the vessel, while
the brave burghers of Antwerp changed
the name from "Finis Belli" to ''Per-
ditto Expensal," or money Thrown
Away" The crew then deserted the
ship, and the Spaniards, after defeat
ing the Netherlanders in naval bat
tie, carried the monster in triumph to
the camp of Alexander, of Parma, where
it became one of the sights of the
times. The city of Antwerp was taken

pEFIss HEAT AND COLD.
A New Kind of Glass Unhurt by Violent
Atmospheric Changes.

a new hinu OF Gih5s Onnurt Dy NlOleut
Atmospheric Changes.
The new German glass is new and
singular departure in that line, disre-
garding as it does the ordinary princi-
pie that good glass must contain, to-
gether with silica and divalent or
trivalent metallic oxide, the oxide of
a ponovalent metal-an allai metal
or thellium-but while thus free from
allxali can be worked before the blow
pipe, and has small coefficient of ex-
pansioE. The inventor, says the New
York Sun, was led to the production of
his compound glass by studying the
state of strain in ordinary glass vessels
and tubes cooled in contact with air. As
a hollow glass vessel, cooled in contact
with the air, has its outer skin in a
state of compression, while the inside
is in state of tension, it is easily dam
aged on the inside, but is resistent on
the outside; a hollow glass vessel, If
introduced when cold into warm air,
has its outer skin thrown into state
of compression, but if, when it is hot,
it is exposed to cold air, it's outer skin
is thrown into a state Of tension-this
being the reason why cold air causes
glass to crack more readily than hot
air does The inventor succeeded in
throwing the outer layer into perma-
nent state of compression by covering
the glass vessel with thin outer layer
of glass which has small coefficient
of expansion. The TASKS made of such
glass can be filled with boiling aniline
and Immediately sprinlsled on the out
side with cold water glass dishes, too,
can be heated over the naked Bunsen
flame without cracking. Pressure
tubes of this compound glass are also
made to meet all the requirements of
practice and have been kept in con-
tinuous use on locomotives for five
months
