COLLECTING BADGE buttons.
The Latest Popular Craze started by
Bicycle Manufacturers.
lNeW NOrk SUM-

NEW 1Ork SUM-
People are collecting badge buttons now
a days, and there are already collections
that number hundreds. The politician
gathers in the emblem Of party strife or
victories, the bicyclist exchanges club
buttons with brother bicyclist, the bust
ness man keeps collection to see what
his rivals are doing, the small boy TO
see how many badge buttons he can Sc
cure, and the new woman follows suit
because every one else is doing II. The
craze threatens to become even more
popular than the button strings made by
children thirty years ago.
The bicyclists started the fad. Every
person who buys bicycle feels himself
bound, while the new sense Of ownership
is strong. to wear a button badge that
proclaims the superiority OF his particu-
lar wheel. Up to the last Madison Square
cycle show the manufacturers OK wheels
had tried without attaining great success
TO make the badge button popular. With
secret organizations and bicycle clubs II
had become popular, but with the general
public there was apathy. AT this show
the few manufacturers who gave away
the badge buttons as souvenirs at the
start Were found by their rivals to be
attracting so much attention that before
the show was over everybody was offer
ing buttons to visitors, and hundreds or
thousands were given away. Men, W0-
men, and children came forth decked with
numbers of the little disks. That started
the craze. To get more than one neigh
Dor was the universal desire. and from
bicycling buttons the rage has spread
until every kind of button is eagerly
sought For a long time manufacturers
OF badge buttons tried TO make adyer-
Users see their value, but they met
with no encouragement until the bicycle
dealers took the idea up. Then the badge
button leaped into the SWIM.
The politicians early saw the value of
badge buttons, and the number used for
political booming is enormous. one OF
the leading firms turns out over 10000
buttons each week, and is behind In its
orders. At present the great demand Is
for political buttons. Whatever the
character Of the button, the collectors are
diligently harvesting the supply as fast
as il appears The demands made by
button collectors upon one firm manu-
featuring badge buttons have become so
great that II has prepared circular
enumerating 1Sl different varieties OK
bicycle buttons which it sells at cents
each. The same firm is getting out other
lists for general collectors, embracing
other buttons besides the bicycle badges.
1t is not out of the ordinary run for this
firm TO receive by mail checks ranging
from $40 TO $50 for badge buttons, every
one OF different design.
The circus is the latest employer OF
this form Of advertising, and the pro-
Vlncial towns are to be well decorated
with the novelty. The craze has spread
to Canada. The political situation there
has seen the advent Of the badge button,
and on May 2ith. the Queens birthday,
a vast number Of buttons are to be sent
forth showing the portrait Of the Queen
a white ground.

The length of time for practice must
depend upon the health and the circum-
stances surrounding the pupil.
The care of the voice is the same in
all cases, whether the voice be soprano
Or contralto, tenor or bass. Regular life,
plenty of sleep, fresh air and careful
diet are the requisites.
In sitting at the piano the stool should
be Of sufficient height to bring the ell
bows on a level with the tops of the
keys, SO that the hands may fall natu-

An excellent way TO get pupils to IN

melody and harmonic it several ways.
The best time of day for practice is
in the morning, as the mind is freer and

THE PROPER TIME

When the most benefit is to be derived
from a good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the
tired body, weakened organs and nerv-
Gus system yearn for a building-up
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring weather
and, in fact, delay giving attention to
their physical condition so long that a
long siege of sickness is inevitable.
To rid the system of the impurities ac-
cumulated during the winter season,
to purify the blood and to invigorate
the whole system, there is nothing
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Don't
put it OFF, but take Hoods Sarsaparilla
now. 1t will do you good. Read the
testimonials published in behalf of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, all form reliable,
grateful people They tell the story.

A CUT IN PRICES.
Photographs for the Million.
Something to Think OF.

~ OAs
j. Williams, the well known
photographer, has drifted into the
popular current and made war on
high prices. Mr.. Williams is am
bidextrous, so he uses a knife in
each hand cutting the price of his
exceptionally fine cabinet photo
graphs from So to Sc per dozen and
similar reduction in the price of
other work.
After years of experience and
with a practical knowledge of the
art, Mr.. Williams has set the
standard of Photographic work in
Hawaii. The result has been salts
factory and his photographs have
standing in all the celebrated gal
leries in the United States. Taber
in San Francisco and Sarony in
New York recognize no others COM
ing from the islands.
With the cut in price there will
be no change in the character of
the work. Charles Weatherwax,
"the Yankee photographer" Mr..
Williams operator, will give the
same excellent positions and de-
vote the same care to the finish of
the SIS cabinets as have distinguish
ed the higher price work. The cut
is made to meet the financial con-
dition of the country, and once
down the price will remain.

Views Along Oahu Railway for
Professor Musick's History.
At the request of those interested
in the success of Professor Musick's
History of Hawaii, Manager Dill
bingham, of the Oahu Railway,
placed at their disposal a special
train for the purpose of procuring
a series of views along that line to
Waianae. Photographer J. J. Will
liams was consulted and agreed to
make the desired pictures.
In accordance with that under
standing a special train, consisting
of a parlor and observation car,
left the Honolulu station Saturday
morning, General Passenger Agent
Fred Smith being in charge. Be-
sides photographers Williams and
Charles Wetherwax, there were in
the party several townspeople, Mr.
w dl0IOA, vi GIlO Od IL rIduClSCO
" Illustrated Traveller" and a repre-
sentative of this paper.
Proceeding slowly from Eva,
several stops were made and a
number of excellent views taken.
Picturesque valleys, precipitous
cliffs, dazzling gorges and other in
teresting scenery along the shore
and sea line were made. These
views will be- used in the history of
the islands soon to be issued by
Professor Musick.
1t was regretted that the person
for whom the excursion was ar
ranged was unable to accompany
the expedition.
Reaching the terminus, the party
rested a few hours, partook of an
excellent lunch under the magnif-
cent cocoanut trees near the Waia-
nae mill, and returned to town
about 5 o'clock, having enjoyed a
very pleasant and profitable day.
