they soon come to estimate at their true

HOW TO USE CELERY.
Every Pert Of the Plant Can Be
Fut to Account.


Fut to Account.
This plant. which belongs to the pars-
ley family, is i'll season from September
until April, and should be i'm daily use
on the family table. 1t is one of the
best nervines knawn, Is invalua BILE as n
salad, and is of great importa nee in
the kitchen, where 1t may be used in
many ways, as a flavoring, as a vegetable
in Soup, or as a salad. Every part Of
a bunch Of celery is available In Some
department OF cookery.
Cream Suup-A delicious cream soup
may be made by mixing one quart Of
chicken Jelly with one quart OF rich
cream, after both have come to the boil
in seIarate saucepans. Put the jelly to
boil and in it Lut three or four stalks
OF celery or an equal number or the
coarser stalks. Remove after it has boiled
for ialf an hour and mash through col
ander, returning the celery TO the stock.
When the cream has come to the boil, mix
into'it two even teaspoonfuls OF butter
until well creamed, then stir IL into the
cream until it is well tbickenei and pou.
the mixture into the stock. Stir until
well heated aud serve Immediately with
croutors, which give i flavor that can
not lie imrarted in any ether way, and
seems especially necessary to celery soup.
Waldorf Salad-Waldorf salad Is made
By using equal parts of celery and dce
cut from crisp, spicy apples, covered
with YER heavy mayonnaise dressing
that will thoroughly mask the celery ard
apples. This should he served with crackers
and cheese. as a separate course alta dinner.
Celery ViEcgar-Celery vinegar Is useful
for flavcring, and may be made OF pieces
Of Ce;ery covered with some pure cider
vinegar, or the celery seeds may be used.
If the seeds are to be used, cover one
ounce of celery seed with one quart Of
pug. cider vinegar, and let it stand two
weeks, shaking 1t every day. 1t will then
DE ready for use.

In Paris. Is spite OF the efforts Of the hair

steadily resuming their natural straight
ness. This is Iot to he attributed to an.
/ want OF skill on the part OF tie coif-

Of their hair through TIE consta ut appli-

natural size.
A similar tendency is beginning to be seen
here, and the power ut work in favor OF
the renunciation OF the wave is the same
which has operated in France. Most uf
US are beginning to realize that our hair is
getting into Il horribly ragged condition.
and unless we are numbered among the
lucky ones whose tress IS will wave without

it will reed a rest. The hair she uld now

HOW DO YOU WALK?

No two people walk exactly alike and the
student of character finds much TO interest
him ir the way people walk as in any Pc
culiarit they may have of feature. Quick
steps denote a git alton; slow steps, either long
or short, suggest 4 gentle or cOntemplative
turn of mind.
Turnedin toes generally characterize the
absent minded and stoop the studious ami
deeply reflective. whose thoughts are any
where rather u an with themselves.
Obstinacy is indicated by the slow, heavy
and flat-footed style of walking, while
miserlness may be suspected from short.
nervous and anxious footsteps.
Sly. cunning people walk with noise
less, even and stealthy trea'i, resembling
that of cat. A proud person generally
takes even steps, holds the figure up
rihgt and the head a little back and turns
the toes well out.
A gay and volatile person trips lightly
and easily, in sympathy with his or her
nature. Character is shown by all sorts of
oddities in gait, but for grace and elegance
no civilians walk will bear compa rison with
that of the man who has received military
training.

august ~, 1897.
This week we want to call
the attention of the public to
the excellence of the
AERMOTOR WlNDMlLLS
! for which we are the sole
agents for the Hawaiian Islands.
The merits of these wind
mills are so we'll known that
their repetition would be tire
some. 1t is sufficient to state
that the AermotorS will run
when all Others are at a stand
still. They are self-regulating,
requiring no attention what
ever beyond an occasional
drop of oil. There are more
Aermotors sold in the islands
than all other makes of wind
mills combined.
Among those who have re-
Gently purchased Aermotors Of
US may be mentioned Minister
Damon, who has one at Moana-
lua; Minister Cooper one at his
new Manoa mansion; Paul
lsenberg is so we'll satisfied
with them that he has no less
than four at his Waialae place.
We can show an Aermotor
Windmill in actual operation
which pumps water 1000 feet
to an elevation of 100 feet.
There is no other that will do
this. We can furnish the Aer-
motor with pumping mills or
geared to run machinery. These
latter will perform all the work
of a one to four horse power
engine.
In connection with these
windmills we supply Gould's
and Krogh's triple acting
siphon and other pumps and
patent water tanks of 500,
1000, 1000, 1000, 5000 and
10000 gallons capacity.

BURY THE WIRES.

1t is seemingly impossible to
get satisfactory service from the
telephone after the electric light
currents are turned on evenings.
What will the case be when cleo
trio cars are running, as they will
be within few years, with their
powerful motive currents over
head and their vibration on the
rails beneath ? 1t is believed by
those who profess to know that
telephone communication through
aerial conductors will then be
utterly spoiled. Perhaps the over
head leaden cables now for long
time in process of being strung
will be able to resist even the in
duction of trolley car lines. That
is very doubtful and remains to
be seen. 1t would seem, however,
to be great pity that our tele-
phone company did not fully con-
slider future eventualities before
beginning the expensive remodel
ing Of the lines to which re-
ference has just been made.
There is no city in the world
where the wires could be more
cbeaply laid underground than in
Honolulu. But slight depth is
needed owing to the entire alb
sence of frost, and excepting for a
rare outcrop of coral the earth is
extremely friable and thus easy of
excavation. 1t may be retorted,
''Let the electric cars then have
their conductors laid under
ground" This is more expensive
for them, though, than for tele-
phone lines, as it requires a me-
chanical slot in the mid
die of the track somewhat
like that of cable cars. Buda. Pest
in Hungary has such an under
ground conduction for it's street
cars, but the cost was something
Honolulu could hardly afford.
There is possibility that before
an electric car system is construct
eel here, invention may provide as
good while just as cheap conduc-
tors as the trolley cables. Never
theless our telephone system has
become SO elaborate, with the
prospect of becoming more 80,
that it would be a great public
boon to get rid of the cumb Der.
some poles and cloudy webs
of wire if electric cars
were altogether out of the account.
Mention has not been made in the
foregoing of the dangers of fire
Ind shock to the houses and the
persons of the inhabitants from
lavlng our maze of telephone
exposed to the strong
currents for the cars, added to
hose now in existence for light
md power, but that is reflection
hat will occur forcibly to every
body. The telephone company
would exhibit both public spirit
