in Men-of-War.
The latest capacity in which the Ger
man eauPervI aIas, elao,,cn as5,su1
self, says the New York Times, is that
of an inventor of new system of fast
enings for watertight doors in men-of-
war. He turned up in the harbor Of
Syracuse recently in the Hohenzollern,
and the officers of the British cruiser
Astroea, which happened to be lying
there, were not little ostonished soon
after to see him approaching their ves-
sci in 4 steam launch, attired in the
panopoly of a British admiral. He in
spected the -Astroea minutely and then
carried off the captain to the Hohen-
zollern. After entertaining him royal
" he took him down intosthe engine
room and there pointed out water
tight door in one of the bulkheads,
which, he said, he had invented himself
and expected to see initiated generally.
The door was of the kind known tech
nically us a clipped door"-that is, it
is secured when shut by means of short
lever catches which are called "clips,"
In the English service as many as
dozen Of these clips are often used to
secure one door. The improvement
claimed by the emperor is that instead
of having to work the clips singly, thus
involving several operations, he can, by
an arrangement of levers, work them
simultaneously in one operation only.
Provided the mechanism is not too COM
plicated and likely TO get out of order,
| the invention seems 10 be one of consid-
cradle practical value, the manifest OBJ
| lection being that if the lever happens
to be out of order at critical moment
all the clips and the door would be USE

Bryan's Objecti' n to Hills Definition
Of q Business Man

We say to you that you have made
too limited in Its application the def
milton Of business man." The man
who is employed for wages Is as much
business man as his employer. The
farmer who goes forth in the morning
and tolls all day, begins in the spring
and tolls all summer, and by the APP
plication of lis brain and muscle to
the natural resources of this country
creates wealth, is as much q business
man as the man who goes upon the
board of trade and bets upon the
price Of grain. Extract from Bryan's
great convention SIP oech.

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 take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a 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 complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

HOW TORTlLLAS ARE MADE.

Delicate Morsci OF Indian Food Some
thing Like Sole Leather.
Twas recently looking through some
OF my old copies when / came across q
morsel contributed by Lady Rebelrah
Phillips Dixon. In describing some
Indians In Arizona she spoke Of them
making tortillas, but could not de-
scribe how they were made, as there
was an obstruction to her view. Ihave
very often watched the Indians pre-
pairing them.
They first get large bread-pan land
1t doesn't particularly matter whether
It is scrupulously clean or not), and
dump In quantity Of -four without
measuring 1t, and which, by the way,
has generally been done up In the
corner of IN old shawl, and hidden in
the brushy part OF the wick-i-up, or
slowed under the bed. From the cor
ner of the shawl she has on, or perhaps
the hem of her skirt, the squaw ex-
tracts can from which she takes, also
without measurement, q bit of yeast
From still another portion Of the shawl
she gets q little salt aud mixes the
whole together with water
The dough thus made Is divided into

dexterously about two feet and comes

SAVING ON AGE.
A hint for Boys Who want TO Afaxe Pros
porous Men.

A nint for Boys who want to Afaxs Pros
porous Men.
Thrift Is an admirable trait The
way to acquire II Is 10 cultivate 1t.
Tho way to cultivate 1t Is to deny your
self, and faithfully lay by the money
you were tempted to spend. OF courss
you do not lay tho money by for the
sake Of having H. to spend later on.
People save money for the money, It Is
true. This Ii right because II Is provi-
dent. One might fall Ill, and II he had
NO money saved up he might become q
burden upon those lily able TO support
him.
But the best thing about the habit
Of saving is the habit itself. Having
the habit we'll fixed in ones character
renders one self.con trollable-in other
words, thrifty. Thrift applies to more
things than moncy.saving, for the
man who saves money begins to save
other thinga Waste Is wrong-a sin.
Did you ever know one to save on
his age-that Is, TO lay by rs many
dimes or dollars each year as he is
years old? Suppose You are IA. Dur
ing that year you save sl4. and with II
buy certificate OF deposit, n share Of
stock, or something that Is complete in
itself--a bond that represents your age
that year. Next year you are Is, and
you buy q si5 bond. Or, II you cannot
save as many dollars as you are years
old, try saving as many half-dollars or
dimes. Keep your money in your own
name, not in the name of somebody
else who happens to have bank-book
when you do not, and draw 1t out only
when you are very sure you need it.
Get your age bond FIRST, and your lux
ury afterward.
II you begin at "A, dollar for each
year, You will have at 81 seven bonds,
representing sli9. You will also have
some interest money. But you will
have much more. namely, the habit Of
saving-systematic economy, which is
an education Of itself, and one which,
II necessary to gain, you could we'll
afford to throw away the S1l9 that you
saved.-Harper's Round Table
