rather France and Germany than Eng

AN EXPLODING BULLET.

A new bullet, for which great de-
structive power is claimed, has just
been designed by an inventor. The
bullet has hole one-eighth of an
inch in diameter extending it's whole
length. This chamber, the inventor
says, gathers air under strong pressure
caused by the rapid flight of the bull
let, and the air expanding when the
ball comes into contact with anything,
causes an explosion of great destruc-
tive force. Whatever may be the priu-
ciple, the projectile. is said to have
shown remarkable results. Inch
boards, which would be simply pierced
by an ordinary solid bullet of the same
caliber, are splintered and torn with
great violence by this missile.

remark that he did not believe in
boarding gold, and would Immediately
commence to disburse and put into
circulation the four hundred dollars
gold that BILLY c. of Waikapu made
him a present of last summer when
"Antidote" succeeded in making that

nance that it will be remembered
seemed to amuse the Maui gentlemen,
Immensely at the time, as evidenced
by their unprecedented liberality. But
unfortunately, Mr.. Mundon is still a
firm believer in the fifty-three cent
silver dollar and is issuing the white
metal instead of gold, at ratio of
sixteen to one, l am told. 1t was re-
ported in 1892, after the election re-
turns were all in, that William cassie
had serious thoughts Of taking advan-

that may be, and L cannot vouch for

HOW MUCH TEA WE USE.

Twenty ounces a year for each inha-
bitant has been the unvarying average
of tea consumption in the United States
age for the same period has been
eighty ounces for each inhabitant, or
four times greater. Tea drinkers, as
a rule, use more sugar than coffee
drinkers do. Tea-drinking countries
are the greatest consumers of sugar.
In Spain, where chocolate is more po-
puIar as a drink than a tea, and in
France, where coffee is proverbially
popular, and supposedly best made,
sugar is relatively less used. The an
nuaI consumption of sugar in the Unit
ed States is now 100000 tons, which
is about 65 pounds a person. OF the
total the United States produce $780,
900 tons, 100000 being imported. The
United States pay annually over $685.
600 900 for foreign sugar and S20,000,-
600 for the domestic article. The Am
erican product of sugar has increased
90 per cent in twelve years. The Eng
lish consumption of sugar is at the rate
of 20 pounds per capita, the average
of Holland and Denmark being 80
pounds, and of France and Switzer-
land % pounds. The expression "enor-
NOUS" often enormously used by sta
tisticians intent upon establishing a
proposition or destroying an adverse
contention, is correct in the case of
Holland as a coffee-consuming coun-
try. for the amounts to 10000 tons,
and the total area of Holland is 1900
square miles-lessthan half the size of

KEALIA, Kauai, Nov. 2O.-Perhaps
one of the pleasantest little social
events of the season at gKealia was a
stag dinner given by Stephen G. O.
King. Tuesday evening, November II,
in honor of William Jennings Bryan
of Nebraska, U. S. A, who Mr., King
innoeentIy believed would be the sue
cessor of Mr.. Cleveland as chief of the
greatest nation on earth. Happy mis-
take for Mr. King as far as this dinner
was concerned, for he was In posses
sion of a magnificent ten-dollar appe-
tite and enjoyed the spread. (which
might not have been the case had the
truth been known to him.
This was "a POLITICAL dinner, unique
in many respects. and success that
deserves a brief description.
The table was laid with silver, crys-
tai and fine china for four. The dec
orations were extremely artistic and
consisted of red, white and blue silk,
and maiden-hair ferns, very prettily
arranged. The boutonnieres were of
red and white carnations done up In
blue silk bows. g. 80 sszasr- i-v.
Of the guests, the venerable Mr.
Thomas Cummins occupied the seat
of honor at the head of the table. OPP
posite to him was H. q. Austin-these
two gentlemen are staunch Mckinley
gold men. Stephen G. o. King sat
on the right of Mr.. Cummins, with
George Mundon opposite as his polii-
cal support, they both being ardent ad-
mirers of Mr. Bryan and most emphat-
ic white metal men. And thus the tor
ture began. a.
Two of Kealia's most charming
young buds just poisoning into
womanly loneliness, en- costume, one
an exquisite petite blonde as gold
bug the other a brunette of a rare
type of beauty as a "silver bee," waited
upon the table and looked after the
wants of their respective partisans,

ORIGIN OF SMILING.

The graceful smile, now in evidence
of 10y, pleasure and welcome, is said
by a scientist to be merely the inherit
ed expression of satisfaction from a
remote savage progenitor when anti
cipating a good time with people to
dinner-or for dinner Again, the
open smile of pleasure is said to be
simply a survival of the gaping mouth
with which the savage prepared to
tackle some ones roast grandmother
or relative.

JANUaRYTRADE REVIEW.

General trade has been inactive aud
unsatisfactory the past month and
money tight. The slowness OF the
senate to take action in financial mat
tiers and the uncertainty regarding our
foreign entanglements gave an unset
tied feeling that effected unfavorably all
lines of business. Trade hesitated and
manufacturers inclined to await deyel-
opments This general tendency to 8
light trade movement was In southern
California aggravated by a demorailzed
orange market; the anxiety regarding
the hardness of the needed rainfall
and the continued lack of demand for
dried fruit stocks still on hand. The
opening of February finds that the prin >
cipal factors operating to this trade
etscnstion have CEASED to exist and
both merchants and bankers see definite
signs of improvement in the business
outlook.
The favorable outcome OF the popular
subscription to the bond issue and the
satisfactory meeting Of large maturIties
at the end OF January restored confid-
ence in American securities and made
money easier
The deferred rain has come, bringing
cheering promise to the farmer OF a
good harvest. Oranges begin to move
again and prices at some eastern points
to advance. Foreign shipments are
decreasing and eastern dsalers be-
ginning to realize that California has a
fair supply of strictly choice oranges
untouched by frost and February and
March give promise o. increased demand
and fair prices.
An unexpected sharp demand from
Australia and South Africa has caused
sudden advance in California wheat
which still has an upward tendency,
with strong probabilities that prices will
remain permanently better. This ad-
vance means much for the estate, but
only Indirectly affects this section. Bar
ley IN which we are seriously interested
is not selling freely. Unless a greater
export demand develops the present
quotations can hardly be sustained
when an attempt is made to market the
large quantities held back in anticipa-
tion of dry season.
Trade in dried fruit still continues
dull. Scarcely any stock is moving.
Choice grades are held at quotations.
but all other class offerings are at shsd-
ed rates, although there is no disposition
TO push them on the market.
Interest continues in the mining in
dustry. Development work is meeting
with encouraging results and new strikes
are being continually reported.
Riverside with her usual enterprise
has taken the initiative II two new in
dustres which may be destined to be-
come important factors IN adding to the
wealth of Southern California. We re-
fer to the tenrery now in operation In
which car8igre is being used and the
orange winery for the utilization OF
"culi" oranges.
There were fourteen failure in our
district during January with liabilities
Of SAC, 500, nominal assets $4,000 For
same month last year there were seven
teen failures with liabilities of SIC, 800,
assets SIS,777.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL FLAG


The appeal to our citiZsns for contrl-
buttons for a fsg pole and flag, to be
presented to one OF bic schools,
was met with that slacrlty characteristic
of the American who resides 10 Arizona,
and whose patriotism is sustained by
his absolute love CT country and its free
public educational institutions. The re-
spouse is a source OF congratulation
which betokeps the personal interest
felt by each individual who, in common
with his fellow citizen, realizes that the
movement uniies and strengthens that
sentiment.
Ia less than forty-eight hours much
of the sum required was paid iR-and If
necessary more money for patriotic pur-
poses will be Forthcoming.
Yesterday the two sticks were hauled
out and dressing begun, which Will "a

free men and free women, but as me-
mentoes of the universally of feeling
Americans: one in thought. cne il

as will live long in our memories.
