citizens Attention.

These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
In the Republic Of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
WHO still fondly cling to the hope
of return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa-
looms.

Original Rock.

The Warrimoo that is expected
here April 16 from Victoria will
bring Q large consignment of
Original Book Beer for the An
Choir Saloon. While there has
been Book Beer on the Honolulu
market, it does not begin to COM
pare with the consignment that
the Anchor will have on tap after
the arrival of the Warrimoo. The
reason for this is that the Book
that has already arrived is too
fresh. The Book Beer in the
States is made at the first OF the
year and kept till May l. The con-
signment to arrive is some of the
original beer and is guaranteed to
be better than any Book ever i'm
ported. Wait for it. 1t will be
on tap at the Anchor after the
arrival of the Warrimoo.

Few very plump women know the So.

the hopeless and uncomfortable method
Of reducing their apparent size by tight
lacing. These causc themselves untold
suffering, and unhapp,ly, they suffer
In vain, for they only reveal what they
mistakenly try to conceal. The best
method by far Is to conceal the figure by
graceful draperies and moderately loose
corsets. A stout woman should never
attempt to wear a severely plain cloth
gown. She should leave that TO the
slender woman alone. Nor should she
wear separate bodice, or one of con-
trasting color. The short round bodice
is also to be avoided, but for heavy
walking dress few styles look SO well as
the skirt and long coat, with loose open
fronts Dark, subdued colors are, Of
course, best, for nothing looks worse on
fat woman than a brilliant or light
colored gown. The effect of lines should
be studied too. For instance, 1t is only
a slim waist that looks well when en-
circled by ribbon sash, but even a
stout woman would look well with the
ribbons let in at the side seams and fas.
tened with flowing ends in point be-
low the waist. The good and bad points
Of the fat woman's figure should be
studied, and loose draperies, lace jabots
and flowing ribbons will go far in dis
guising the bad ones. One thing to be
remembered. however, is that under
meath the loose draperies and dropping
fronts there must be a foundation of
well cut, well fitting lining.

A child from birth to 9 months Of age
should be weighed weekly, as by this
means, almost to the exclusion Of all
others, we can tell how the child is de.
veloping. During the first week there is
generally loss in weight, but by the end
Of the second week the child should
have regained its birth weight, and if
there is gain of less than four ounces
weekly or a stationary weight we know
there is some fault with its nutrition,
either in quantity or quality of the milk
which it receives or its powers of as
sanitation.

THE SYNCHRONOGRAPH.
Remarkable Demonstrations by The
Inventors.

Lieutenant Squier of the artillery
school at Fortress Monroe, Va, and Pro-
fessor Crehore Of Dartmouth have made
some remarkable demonstrations during
the past week of the possibilities of their
synchonograph. The government tele-
graph officials gave-these men the use of
a clear line 800 miles long, making cir
cult through London, Leeds, Glasgow
Edinburgh, Newcastle, York and other
places, over which the Americans succeed
ed in transmitting short messages at a
speed equivalent to 1900 words minute.
The..messages were received with per-
feet clearness. Forty four miles of the
line were under ground, thus adding to
the difficulty of the trial. The highest
rate attained by them in America was
5000 words per minute over an iron wire
thirteen miles long. The inventors claim
that the trials demonstrate the possibility
of sending press messages between New
York and Chicago at such speed that the
contents of newspaper could be trans
mitted in an hour.

England's Paupers.

(From The L ondon Telegraph
The total number of paupers in receipt
of relief on jan. 1, 1897, in the $40 unions
and parishes under separate Boards of
Guardians in England and Wales, and
the ten contributory (out relief unions.
was 836, 1886. The population of England
and Wales, as estimated by the Registrar
General, was 80, III, $50 in the middle of
the year 1896 Taking this as the basis
of the calculation, the paupers relieved on
Jan. /, 1897, amounted to one out of
every 236 persons, or ~ per cent of the
population. 1t is shown that in seven
Poor law divisions there was small de-
crease in the number of paupers relieved
on Jan. l, 1897, as compared with the
number relieved on the same day in 1895
while in four there was a small increase
and that there was net decrease in the
total pauperism in England and Wales of
0.4 per cent in 1897. It is interesting to
note that whereas, there were .23 s44
paupers in London in January. 1896, lot
whom SO, 255 were indoor), there were ere
only 12l ,912, (of whom IS, 500 were indoor
