A great many large business houses
have an apparatus attached to their front
doors SO that when the porter leaves at
night and locks the door he at the same
time shuts off the water in the main pipe
leading from the street and so prevents all
danger of flooding if some careless person
has left a cock turned on up stairs.
That apparatus is the invention of Mr..
Oscar Hammerstein, who tells an inter
esting story of how the idea came to him.
81 owned a big warehouse down town.
he said, "the upper part of which used
as printing Office for a paper | was run
ming then, and rented the lower floors as
a tobacco warehouse. Well, one night
the printers went away and left the water
running. The next morning was called
upon to pay $500 for the damage done my
tenants stock by the flood. paid, and
then / began to think. At last an idea
came to me. l had plumber bring the
main water pipe of the building up right
beside the front door. Then l connected
a cock in this pipe with the lock so that
when the door was shut and locked the
water was cut off. In the morning, when
the porter came and unlocked the door,
the water was turned on again.
"The plumber who did the work for me
was struck by the idea and asked how
much I'd take for it.
Fifteen hundred dollars, I said
"'An right, said he.
"He had ii patented and has made a
good bit of money out of it. / made just
an even thousand by the deal. New

This is hot weather, food
spelling weather, unless the
proper attention is given
to refrigerator suggestions.
There's all sorts of devices
for keeping food fresh, good,
bad or Indifferent. Some of
the named refrigerators are no
better than dry goods boxes;
the lining is not right and the
system of draught and air cir
culation is defective.
In the United States there
were complaints against the
Quincy, complaints we had
not heard of here. When we
were at the Coast a few weeks
ago, we took the trouble to
investigate and learned that
the objections were all right,
but they were against the
Quincy Challenge refrigera-
tor and not the Quincy Clean

We sell the Cleanable;
were appointed sole agents for
the Hawaiian Islands and we
don't sell any other. The
Quincy Cleanable is lined
with mineral wood, the great
est non-conductor known to
science; the Quincy Challenge
is lined with charcoal and is a
cheap combination that is un-
servicable.

1t has been frequently remarked
that street work is being carried on
rapidly and with excellent Judgment
in several localities. There is one spot
on a main thoroughfare that has not
received sufficient attention yet. This
is at the intersection of King and Ala
kea. Every time there is rain great
pool of water is found at that place.
Light repairs follow, but the nuisance
is not entirely abated. and will not
cease until the street is raised quite

THE KITCHEN OF THE FUTURE.

When Cook Will Touch the Button and
Electricity Do the Rest.
When cooking is done by electricity, as
Herr Sheen of Austria says will be the
case in a few years, the kitchen of today
will have taken It's place along with other
old fashioned affairs. Does madam want
a cup of teap She attaches a tiny rope of
cotton to vessel of water, and in three
minutes the water is boiling. This cot
ton rope has an insulated wire in it's cen
ter that is connected with the nearest cleo
trio light plant, and n little lever smaller
than the smallest glove buttoner turns
ON or shuts off the power. Is it desired
10 prepare soupP Then two or three, or
maybe four, of these little levers turn on
an increased degree of heat. Does the
family want substantial dinner? The
small cotton rope is attached, and another
one like it is fastened on each side of an
oven and the levers turned on.
A current of electricity of 80 amperes
can heat this oven in 10 minutes, and the
cost will be Is cents an hour, according
to the rates charged in Chicago. With
three amperes of power breakfast for six
can be prepared at cost of cents. A
dinner for six people requiring six am
peres of power would cost cents, and
there would be heat enough for this mon
ey to cook a soup, roast, vegetables, heat
water enough for tea or coffee and for the
usual culinary purposes besides. The
same wire that transmits the heat for
cooking Ivy a simple, device can also be
made to furnish light for illuminating
purposes at diminished COST And this
is the kitchen of the future, to be lighted
and heated without fire at cost less than
the price of candles would be in the good
old times.-New York World.

A most interesting book now being
sold here and very generally read is a
history of Pitcairn Island by Rosalind
Amelia Young, native daughter. 1t
contains also brief account of the
mutiny of the Bounty, which is of
record for all time. The entire story,
which is "A simple, uncolored statement
of facts, is intensely romantic. There
is nothing of the ordinary about it eX-
cept human nature portrayed with re-
markable fidelity. The history affords
a close view of an actual Arcadian eX-
istence. In this it is much stronger
and better than the novels along the
line of Looking Backward There is
nothing of the experimental or theo-
retical in treatment of the subject. A
record is presented of the life of a CO.
operative community, opened with
lawlessness, drama and tragedy, but
founded on the desire for seclusion and
democracy of a community. Honolu-
In is mentioned several times in the
book. In one place reference is made
to the late Rev. Samuel c. Damon of
this city as "the peoples faithful
friends" The story is not devoid of
odd or unique recitals. For one thing,
the whole colony changed it's religion
after considering the matter ten years.
They went from the church of Eng
land in a body to the Seventh Day
Adventist belief. The island is under
British protection to this day, with
the people devoted to the Queen.

About half the town is talking base
ball. About half of the half suggests
that the Kamehameha players get
their hair cut and start over again.
The alternative offered in advice is
that the manager of the nine take the
pitcher and the men on first and Sec
ond and sign six players to support
them. The Rams owe it to their alma
mater, to themselves and the public
to at least make a greater effort to
cut some figure in the series.

Professor Koebele is jewel. His
latest service is to save cane fields
from blight ravages. In any other
country the appearance of the aphis

ginning of devastation. The foresight

the Islands have led in several features

vance in adopting approved scientific

A Romance Spoiled.

For more than 100 years Frenchmui
have wept over the sorrows Of Latitude, whu
was imprisoned in the Bastille for c5 yeara
Ono of the most popular dramas ever
written is called Latitude; or, Thirty-flve
Years of Captivity" There is no doubt
that the story of Latude's unmerited suf
ferings, as written by himself, had much
to do with the popular feeling which led
to the destruction of the Bastille in 1880
But, alasi the story, we are now told,
must be relegated to the category of f1cti
tious legends. A writer Ia The Matin has
been led to look up the subject owing to
the fact that portrait Of Latitude and q
ladder said to be the one by means of
which the famous prisoner made his es-
cape have been added to the curiosities In
the Hotel Carnavalet. The Chevalier de
Latude, or La Tude, as he called himself
was, it seems, in reality named Danny. and
his narrative is pack of lies. He was n
surgeons assistant who was several times
imprisoned for swindling. On one occa
sion he sent a mysterious powder to Nine
de Pompadour and then made overtures
in order to obtain money for denouncing
certain imaginary accomplices with whom
be was supposed to be conspiring against
her life. Nine. de Pompadour did not fall
into the trap. That Danny was ever a
political prisoner is confidently denied. -

THE DUEBER SPECIAL.
A Bicycle Truly eft for King"

After thorough and critical investi-
cation, we were prompted to enter the
bicycle trade, with the firm belief that
there was room at the top.
We selected the Dueber machine, as
absolutely the best in the world, as
our speciality, and our judgment of the
machine was not misplaced.
The Dueber bicycle is the finest and
most modern in existence. and is made
by the Dueber Watch Case Company,
which for forty years has held the high
est reputation as manufacturers o.
watch cases and watch movements.
The trained men and the mechanical
knowledge gained in this long time, in
the construction of the special tools
and machinery necessary for the man
ufacture Of watches has been CT i'm
mense advantage in the construction of
bicycles, and no factory in the country
is better able to produce a bicycle of
superior design and workmanship.
Their machinery is the finest, their
workmen are trained to a great degree
of accuracy, and this means that
Dueber Bicycles are manufactures in
the best equipped factory in the world.
1t also means that never before have
bicycles been constructed with as fine
material, with such a degree Of ac-
curacy and with such exact and care
full system of manufacture.
The Dueber Bicycle is one grade only
the best that is within human power
to construct. The Company point with
pardonable pride to their record as
manufacturers of Dueber-Hampton
watches. They have placed Dueber
bicycles on the same high standard.
We realize the active competition in
the manufacture of bicycles, and being
in full recognition of the intelligence of
the bicycle riding public, we invite a
rigid examination of the "Dueber Spe-
cial." believing that you will agree with
us that it is the handsomest as well as
the easiest running wheel on earth.
The Dueber Bicycle is not listed high.
in the expectation CT allowing customers
heavy discount, but the price is a net
one the lowest possible for the best
work. The merit Of the machine is
rapidly becoming apparent, and many,
after examining all other machines,
have purchased the Dueber.
Call and see them and learn cur prices
and terms.
