THOUSANDS DIE
From Exposure to Infectious
Disease and Impure Air.
Important Points About ''Purifne," the
Great DSinfGCtant
is. f. POST

In these enlightened days of the nine
teenth century it is an acknowledged
fact that ian ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" and that ounce
OF prevention was never better exempli-
fed than in the use of the great disin-
fectant known as"Purifine." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attention. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply lndif-
ferent, but none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of "Purifine.' In the first place
it was left to the manufacturers of
"Purifine" to compound disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter, las users of disin-
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant especially when in constant
use, becomes sickcning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much so as the odor or
nell to be killed.
In word, "Purifine" is odorless, and
its work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally it is indispensable.
Then again it is non-poisonous, an all
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results, and it is absolutely safe
to have around the house.
AS sample of it's harmlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators, and, if
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
it is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which "Purifine" is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of The Post. For flush
ing sewers, and for cleansing sinks,
drains, barns, urinals, water closets,
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is so low that it
can be used lavishly, and for hospitals,
asylums, public buildings. hotels, restau-
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries,
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this is a point to be
considered. One gallon is used TO bar
rel of water, and for general use one
tablespoonful to pint Of water.
"Purifine"is sure preventive against
cholera, la grippe, small pox, dinnhtheria,
all fevers and Contagious diseases.
as al antiseptic and healer "Purifne"
is invaluble, for it relieves and cures
sore throat, catarrh, stings and bites of
insects, burns and scalds. chilblains, sore
eyes, pimples, and for the bath it is a
delightful adjunct. 1t will instantly
stop any flow of blood, and physicians
will understand It's full value from its
principal constituents, bromine and
chlorine. 1t is prepared only by the

THE c. c. Of HAWAII
WHY THIS RESERVE FORCE DoL5
NOT PARADE.
It's Strength and Compassionate is
Not Uniformed-An Unknown Guam
tity to an Enemy.

An officer of the Citizens Guard said
Tuesday evening: I'VE have two good
reasons for not turning out in a body
in the parade on July Fourth. The
first is lack of uniforms. OF course
we have caps, but when made so con-
spicuous men like to have on some
thing pretty you know.
1.-THE second and principal reason
is that we are silent organization.
That is to say, our first principle is
not to parade our personnel nor our
strength. The public knows we are
body of minute men, numbering
about 1900, well armed and perfectly
organized. That is all they need to
know.
I'VE have in the organization hun
dreds of good and true men who have
never figured in politics in any man
ner whatever. They are earnest sup
porters of the Government, yes. But
for business and other reasons they
prefer to remain silent until they are
called out for service.
mo one on the outside knows who
we are or what our plans of campaign
would be in case of trouble. In event
of an alarm the city would simply
be barricaded against any armed force,
even before the military or the vol
unteer part of it, could get together
and ready to move. We are not
known, as l said before, and we wish
to avoid the notoriety parade would
give us.
General Sam Newlein once said to
me: The Citizens Guard went a long
way toward preventing a simultaneous
uprising in town on the night of Jan
uary S, 1895. Every detail for COM
bined movement from Waikiki and
the city was arranged. But even be-
fore we got news of the fight at Dia-
mond head, every street was patrolled
and all possibility of assembling cut
off. Our plans We're all directed
against the military. Who the men
were who shut up the town we did
not know and don't know yet
"The Citizens Guard are in the pa
rade in heart, and ready to 'whoop er
up for the grand celebration; but we
do not wish to parade ourselves be-
fore the public. If any one wants TO
find out who we are and what we
look like, let them start a racket and
the satisfaction will come quickly"

Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman Of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and /
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and l take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers

IMAGINATION IN WAR.

II knew of q case in the battles OF

for the same tree, a large oak, about
which they lodged for half an hour

behind a log with two other men-I
was only a private then-one of whom
was an inveterate joker, and the other
was one of the imaginative kind of sol
diers. In fact, he was so imaginative
that he was almost scared out of his
wits and when the bullets and shells
began flying through the woods, cut
ting off saplings, clipping limbs all
around us and barking the top of the
log behind which we lay, l thought the
fellow would burst blood vessel or go
crazy or do some other fool thing un-
becoming a soldier. Tom, the JOKER
noticed the mans terror and called my
attention to it.
Then he reached out and dragged in
a stick cut from the tree above us by
the bullet, and fixing a pin in II pro-
ceeded to have his fun. The man was
at the far end of our log. ten feet from
Tom, and I was just beyond Tom on
the other side, and. l am free to con-
fess, was nervous enough to wonder at
Toms manner at such a time. How
aver, couldn't help watching his move
ments, and actually laughed to see him
sliding the pin-pointed stick along to-
ward the unsuspecting victim. Having
got It at the right distance. he waited
for a smashing volley of bullets, and
Just as 1t came he prodded the soldier
in the back with the pin. Well, It was
really funny to see the chap jump and
yell and roll over and we both fairly
howled. But it wasn't so funny when
the man didn't move after his first
startled action ,and Tom looked around
at me in scared kind of way. His
surprise found expression In an oath,
and he called to the man. There was
no answer and he called again, with
the same result. Then he crept over to
him and gave him a shake. That
brought no response either, ard Tom
dragged him around so he could see his
face. 1t was ashy blue, with eyes star
ing wide open and the man was as
dead as julius Caesar, with never a
mark on him, save, perhaps. that one
pin scratch in his back.
tom was a good fellow and a brave
soldier, and no doubt would have suf-
fered lifelong remorse for his unhappy
joke, but he never had a chance to.
When the next volley came he was on
his knees beside his dead companion
trying to do something for him, and
his head was Just high enough above
the log for shell to clip the whole top
of 1t off,"

biologists frequently have trouble in
Identifying the eggs which they find in
nests The Nidologist tells how to get
a nesting bird that is too shy to show
itself for Identification. A d. Hender-
son found a number of nests in the
reeds about Little Lake. near Barrie,
Ont, but was unable to determine the
species. as he could not catch sight of
the parent birds. He took the eggs,
trusting to identify them later.
One day he was meditating He had
tried snares, watching and a lot Of
other ways unsuccessfully. Hangln &
in his boathouse were a lot of muskrat
traps, and these gave him an idea. He
took several of them, set them in the
nests, and on his return next morning
found two grebes, and was able to
Identify them. One of the grebes had
plunged off the nest into the water. and
the weight of the trap pulled it under
the water and drowned II. The other
one he took out of the trap and threw
it into the air, expecting to see it fly
away. But it dropped and went under
the water, and so far as the man could
see. did not come up again. That ex-
planned why the birds were so hard to
see.-New York Sun.

Colored Men In The Army.

A colored soldier was on guard at the
City Point wharf. Presently an officer
approached, smoking a cigar. Politely
giving the military salute the dusky
sentinel said: Smoking on his dock is
forbidden. sah" rs that the rule, "
asked the officer? Yes, sah." "A very
good rule" replied Gen. Grant, for it
was he, and he Immediately threw his
cigar into the river.

Japan and It's Future.

Late intelligence from Japan indi-
Gates a desire on the part of the Gov
eminent and the merchants of that
country to buy both war vessels and
trading vessels in this country if they
can be procured on advantageous
terms. Nothing in the near future
seems more certain than the establish
ment of larger profitable direct trade
between the United States and Japan.
As they increase the number of their
manufactures they must look to this
country as source of supply for
needed raw materials. We may also
expect when better facilities of trans
portation shall have been made avail
able to supply to the Japanese a part
of the manufactured stuffs which they
have been accustomed to buy in
Europe.
The great market for Japanese
manufactured products will be found
among the swarming millions of Asia.
Their nearness to Asiatic ports, their
knowledge of the peculiar wants of
Asiatic consumers and the special
treaty advantages obtained as the fruit
of the late war with China combine
to make certain for the people of the
Island Empire of the ORIENT a home
trade equal to their utmost capacity
of production and secure from success
ful competition. 1t is not at all likely
that Japanese manufacturers will be
diverted from their natural markets
to engage in competition for posses
sion of European or American trade,
except in SO far as it may be incidental
to the exchange of silk, tea, camphor
and other special products for needed
cotton, lumber, grain and the more
advanced manufactures of America
and Europe.

THE NIGHT MY SWEETHEART DIED.

The night my sweetheart died.
The stars hung in the tree tops dark,
Her outbound soul to guide.
The wind strayed through the orchard

And laughing down the stream
Came echoes of O. brd-song
bewildered in a dream.
Alone l waited-unaware-- ''->
Close by the gate of DEATH
While Heaven turned her face away
And Summer held hSr breath
The drowsy roses cheek on cheek
Forgot the chilling dew,
The hours at their silent watch
We're undsmayed and true;
TIL Mornings shining horn at last
Blew earth awake again,
And found my heart a homeless vaif
on foreign shores of pain.

The enormous amount of wood

the fact that the Petit Journal of Paris,
which has a circulation of over ,ooo,.
900 copies day and is printed on

10000 fir trees of an average height
of &c feet. This is equivalent to the

Suns Cotton Review.

New York. Feb. 2.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton declined 13 to 15 points on this crop and Il to B on the next closing easy, with sales of ,500 bales.
 Today's features: Liverpool is said to have sold 10000 bales of August today, and several commission houses sold quite heavi- ly. The worst feature of the day was the very disappointing news from Liverpool, where the market paid no attention to the rise here of yesterday, but took a downward course, partly, it is understood. because of selling orders from this side. Rumpr has 1t that some of the people of New Orleans are transferring cotton to Liverpool and selling against 1t. The liberal receipts at Houston and Galveston were quite the re- verse of encouraging, and the same may be said of the large Bombay shipments and the weakness in spot cotton here and at some southern points, notably New Orleans and Galveston. The tired longs dropped their load in disgust. All eyes were riveted on Liverpool, and that was a shooting star, not star in the ascendant by any means, no matter what 1t may be tomorrow. At the same time the local short interest here has been steadily increasing of late, and 1t may yet prove to be good bull point, though the bulls do not seem to be very confident of that Speculation is rather marrow, and the dullness of spot cotton and fair receipts initiate for the moment at least against bullish interests.
