Washington. Feb. 12.-The House
spent another day in the discussion of
the silver bond bill. The feature OF
the day was the speech of Mr.. Nc
Cleary. (Rep., Minnl, who used to IL
lustrate his remarks the charts pre-
viously employed by Mr.. Towne, from
his own State, and by them sought to
refute the arguments in favor OF free
silver made by Mr.. Towne. Messrs.

Pa.), and Brunn, Rep., Pa), also OPP
posed the bin Mcmillan, (Dem., Tenn) +,

debate on the bin was more poorly at
tended than any Of its predecessors.
The galleries were almost empty and
there were but seven members ON the
floor.
Mr.. bingham, (Rep., Pa, in opposi-
ton to the Senate free coinage substi-
tute predicted another 100000, 600

the refund of the greenbacks and
Treasurg>e notes into two per cent
bonds The only two other speakers
Wood, (Rep., Ill.,, and Gardner, (Rep.,

SOME PLURALS.

Well begin with box, and the plural
is boxes,
But the plural of OK should be oxen,
not oxes;
Then one fowl is a goose, but two are
called geese,
Yet the plural of mouse should never
be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a whole
nest of mice,
But the plural Of house is houses, not
hice
If the plural of man is always called
men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
called pen?
The COW in the plural may be COWS or
kline,
But a COW if repeated is never called
kline;
And the plural of vow is vows, never
vine.
If 1 speak of a foot and you show me
your feet,
And I give you boot, would a pair be
called beet?
If one is a tooth, and whole set are
teeth.
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be
called beeth?
If the singular's this and the plural is
these,
Should the plural of kiss ever be nick
named keese?
Then one may be that and three would
be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be
hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cosa
We speak of brother, and also of
brethren,
But though we say mother, we never
say methren;
Then the masculine pronouns are he,
mis- and him,
But imagine the feminine, she, shis and
SHIN.
So the English, 1 think you all will
agree,
Is the Queerest language you ever did
see. Boston Commonwealth

BY the Albert which arriv-
ed a few days ago we re-
ceived I28 Quincy Cleanable
Refrigerators, ranging in size
from the small household ice
box to that used in a grocery
store. 1t was a large in
voice--not consigned, but
bought outright. These re-
trlgerators and ice boxes
have nine points of excell-
enCe, to wit:
Cleanliness, free circula-
ton; economy in the use of
ice; condensation and dry
air; low average temperature;
freedom from condensation
on the inner walls; freedom
from damage by the use of
Ice picks; proper location of
drip pipe and long life.
lheSe points are found only
IN the Quincy cleanabIe.
Now for the reason for the
large purchase. There are
1913 persons in Honolulu
who need refrigerators,
many of them have old ones.
We propose leasing these
refrigeratorS on the follow
ing term: The selling prices
OF the article is divided by
SIX: when the refrigerator
IS delivered one-sixth of the
price is paid in cash and
monthly thereafter in equal
payments until the entire
amount is paid. If before
the expiration of the six
months, the lessee wishes
to pay off the balance he will
be entitled to a discount of
five per cent. on the amount
unpaid. If a customer wants
to buy outright for cash, he
gets five per cent. discount
on the entire amount.
The Quincy cleanable can
be had only of us.

Mr.. Greene's Grass.

The grass hedge which an evening
paper says is to be placed about the Ex-
ecutive building has not materialized
and probably never will. R. Jay Green
is now at work however on scheme to
relieve the barren appearance of the
Immediate surroundings Of the
building, by turing the ground in the
close vicinity. The turf will reach out
as far as the foot of the steps in front
and rear, following the curve Of the
about the building. On either
side of the steps palms will be planted,
all of which will add not little to the
artistic beauty of the grounds surround
ing the capitol.

The PASTEUR FILTER
STANDS ALONE IN THE WORLD
AS A GERW-PPOOF FILTER

1.-THE very best filter yet devised can
not rid the water of all micro-organ-
ism, Uitb the sole exception Of the PAS
TEUR FILTER"
From report prepared for the Par
liamentary Bills Committee of the
British Medical Association, of Eng
land, in the British Medical Journal, :"
July 9Th, 1895.
I'm a report just issued, General
Zurlinden, the French Minister of War,
reviews the progress made in the army
since 1886, in point Of prOphylact1c
measures. The most striking results
are still as they were in Mr.. de Frey
cinet's reports from 1889 to 1892, those
relating 20 typhoid fever. In 1886 the
number OF cases OF this disease was
7,771, being over "A per 1000; in 1894
it was 5000, being under per 1000; a
reduction obtained by an almost pro-
gressive decrease in each year. This
result is shown by a detailed examina-
ton of the circumstances of those
stations where the reduction has oc-
Cured to have invariably followed on
the publication Of the drinking water
supplies. The report instances twenty
nine of the garrisons most subject in
earlier years Of typhoid fever, in each
of which the Introduction of an I'M
contaminated water supply has been
followed by the disappearance of the
disease, except in isolated cases, the
majority OF which were shown to have
been contracted outside the barracks.
In those cases where a new water sup
ply has been provided, and the tCater
lrds drunk UNFILTERED, epidemics
fOII0lred from time to time on the cOntG
miHGti0B OF the source, and disappeared
on the application Of PASTEUR FIJI
TIERS.

That's What All Man Did - Ills
Wife. Annie keaioha.
Late Tuesday night Chinaman by
the name of All Man presented himself
at the police station and had his wife,
Annie Kealoha, arrested for being
drunk. The woman was locked up and,
upon investigation yesterday it was
found that All Man had been the very
one who presented his wife with too
free an allowance of wine and that she
being very thirsty at the time, availed
herself of his generous offer.
Annie spent the night in Jail, and up
on being released yesterday morning,
went straight to her home in Kepohoni
to see her husband. She was not re-
ceived very cordially.
Late last night Annie went running
to the police station crying out that she
had been almost killed and acting as if
in the greatest of agony. Upon inves-
tigation it was found that two of the
fingers of her right hand were badly
broken and that she was otherwise bad
ly battered up. DR.. Emerson was sent
for and attended to the woman's in
juries. 1t took two stout policemen to
hold her down while the doctor was
doing his work.
Annie said that she got thirsty to-
ward evening and the effects of quench-
ing it proved too much for her. She got
into a little alteration with the hus-
band whereupon he got club and beat
her cruelty, breaking her fingers.
All Man was Immediately arrested
and sent below for the night.

Good Result or AIRING a CaSS III
Police Court.
Rather a serious case came up in the
police court few days ago in which
a native brought suit against two Chi
namen for assault and battery upon
him in the vicinity of his home near
the slaughter houses in Iwilei. The
natives testimony was very fiimsy
and the Cinnamon were found not
guilty.
At that time people known for their
veracity testified that there were about
two dozen dogs at the natives place
which took special delight in running
out and biting horses and Cinnamon
1t was through the attempt of the two
Cinnamon to beat off the dogs that
the unpleasantness occurred. DR.. w
T. Monsarrat testified that it was alb
solutely necessary for ann to carry
rocks in his carriage in passing by the
place early in the morning
The case had very good results, for
now people can pass by in peace and
Cinnamon can get home without hav-
ing to insert patches into the seats Of
their trousers upon their arrival. The
vicious CANNES are all kept chained
and some have even been given away.

But the sardineopolis of Britanny
is Conoarneau, which lies ten miles
south of Rosporden junction, on the
Orleans line from Landerneau
Quimper.
1t is one of the most interesting
places in the country. Tho old walled
town is completely surrounded by
water at high tide and oommuni.
Gates by bridge with tho newer
town built round the harbor. This
harbor, when the boats are in, Is
very beautiful sight. The sardine
nots are all hanging from the masts
to dry in the sun. They are 80 fine
in texture that they look like silken
gauze. Some Of them are brown,
others n delicate blue gray, and as
they wave in the wind they give ex.
quisite masses and blendings Of
color.
Sardine fishing and all the proc
esses Of preparing and packing the
dainty little fish form big industry
which employs many thousands of
men and women. 1t Is q fine sight
to see the feet of boats go out or
come in when the tide Is up, but
when tho tide Is down there are cer-
tain drawbacks to Conoarneau.
Frenoh harbors ut low tide possess
peculiar powers in the way of smells.
Indeed they are absolutely unri-
vailed in this respect. A barbor
smell is large and powerful. Single
handed it could put to flight all the
smell army of Cologne. 1t is some.
thing you can almost 500, and you
can certainly feel it. When you run
up against it accidentally round a
corner, you feel sad and go away
and buy French oaporal cigarettes to
try and kill it. It's sort of smell
that you can hear trying to climb up
the wall under your bedroom win
dow ut night, and you got out of
bed hastily and try to push it off
with stick, and you shut your win
dow and use swear words. But we
must console ourselves with tho re-
Election that sanitary science and
picturesqueness of old walled towns
and harbors do not go much togeth-
or. r.-Wcstminster Gazette.
