Our customers tell us that oul
novelties are the best that have
ever, been sold in Honolulu. AS d
rule kitchen novelties and labor
saving tools don't amount to much
Ours do.
The QuickCut Mincing Knife
is one that cuts around the corners
BeiEg made half round, it is the
best for chopping in a bowl. Fiji
teen cents is the price.
Every housekeeper knows that
small bits of soap accumulate in
the kitchen until they are thrown
away. The Kitchen Soap Shaker,
made of wire, enables you to econo-
mize in respect to soap.
Half the fun of camping out is
in being able to flip Flap Jack in
the pan; but half the hunters and
half the cooks don't savoy how. We
have a Cake Turner that does the
Tipping automatically. 1t costs IS
cents for a dollars worth of salts

out principle.
The Premier Egg Cup is novel

New Process "Blue Flame 8
'n'' Oil Stoves,
Golden Anvil Ranges,
Pansy Stoves.

Nothing is so annoying in
business as being disappointed
in the arrival of goods that
are easily turned into money
and in a great many instances
prevented from filing orders
that have been placed in adj
vance. This has been our ex-
perience with the New Pro-
cess "Blue Flame" Oil Stoves.
Owing to the immense sale of
these stoves in the United
States, the makers have been
unable to ship until now our
invoice ordered some months
ago, the same having arrived
on the last Australia.
Possibly the most positive
proof Of the success of the
New Process Stove is the re-
suit obtained in baking. BY
the use of a simple device it is
impossible to turn the wick too
high, thus ensuring a steady,
perfect flame at all times. The
use of coal oil (kerosene) is so
general that every household
is provided with it; hence there
is no annoyance in the matter
of procuring fuel. The num-
Der "1O5" has three burners,
and No. "1O6" four burners,
otherwise, they are exact
counterparts of each other.
We have a few Of the small
sizes in Golden Anvil Steel
Ranges, and a fine stock of
Pansy Stoves in numbers 5,
6 and 7.

ones. The teacher, however, must al
ways satisfy himself personally that
the claim is good, otherwise bogus
sickness is soon thrust upon him.
Another idea suggested is that the
schools in coffee districts work half
time, and this does seem feasible, on
the plan that half loaf is better than
no bread. But some such method was
once adopted as an experiment, and it
was found that the children coul1 not
stand the strain of the double work,
and were sleepy and apathetic IN
school.
The view set forth in the last educa-
tional report seems to be the most
practical. 1t is not necessary that the
time on all the districts of the Islands,
though it is convenient for the teach
ers and the officers of the Board that
it should do so. But practical difficult
ties must be met in a practical man
ner. It must be remembered that on
either the three day system or the half
time system, in order to fill out the
school curriculum, the vacations Of
those districts, where such plans are
adopted, would have to be curtailed.
Moreover the question of the salaries
would have to be considered At the
present time the teachers are paid
monthly throughout the year, vaca-
tions and all. The system is good
one and is more and more being adopt
ed throughout the States, though
many States pay for the actual teach
ing work and take no account of va
cations. 1t is so much work, so much
pay, and the contract is ended, though
it may be renewed later on. The re-
suit is a peripetetic class of teachers,
country to another, and from one state
to another. This is more true of the
West than of the East.
1t is plain that if the three day sys-
tenn be adopted the Board of Educa-
ton cannot, or, perhaps it had better
be said, should not pay full salary to
teachers who are only working half
time and then pay them full wages for
vacation, and the same is equally true
of the half day system.
There is much to be said pro and
con-" and it is a question which
should not be too hastily decided. 1t
is necessary question to be met in Il
practical manner. OF all things
falling off in the standard of education
must be guarded against. Injustice to
the teacher must be guarded against
and injustice to the tax pay
ers' pocket must also be guarded
against. This The Star is assured,
the Commissioners of Education will
surely do.

COFFEE PICKING.

A petition from Keanae, District OF
will be received by the Board of Edu-
cation relative to the matter of allow
ing children of school age certain
time off in order to pick coffee dur
ing the season. As far as The Star can
learn the proposal is that during the
season the children should be allowed
three days for picking coffee and
should have three days of school every
week. The question has already been
thought of. On page 81 of the Report
of the Board of Education for 1896 Mr..
Atkinson, eN-lnspector General of
Schools, who compiled and wrote the
report, said: 1T will be necessary, in
time, to meet the needs of coffee plant
ers and TO arrange the long vacation
that it may fall in with the coffee
picking season. In that way the child
rem will be enabled to earn money,
will be taught practical industry and
will not lose the advantages of educa-
ton. 1t is always well to meet prac-
teal difficulty in a practical way. 1t
is to be hoped that the Board will view
the matter in this light"
What was written in 1896 is true at
the present day. The proposal of in
shutting a plan where there are three
days on and three days off is, to the
writer's mind, impracticable. In the
height of the coffee season children
would be kept from school on the
three school days, and who could
blame them for trying to earn an hon
est quarter when it was there to be
got. Certainly The Star could not. in
spite of its appreciation of the adj
vantages of education. Even when
school work is regular and not inter
mittent, as this would be, it is hard
enough to get children into school in
the country districts. They are for
ever begging off to do work of some
kind, and it is impossible for the
teachers to refuse them sometimes, as
in the case of the mother of the fam
lily being sick and having no one to
attend to the babies. The elder girl
must, under such circumstances. be
allowed to take charge of the helpless

Mr.. David G. Talbot is a we'll
known and respected citizen of Of
-sego County, New York, residing at
Edmeston, who three years ago had
a stroke of paralysis, which he at
tributes to the effects of a wound re-
ceived on the 10th of June, 1894, be-
fore Petersburg, Va, while serving
with the New York Heavy Artillery.
The following is his own account
of his illness and convalescence
which will be found interesting:
Edmeston, N. Y, Aug. 81, 1896.
'On the fifth day of December,
1898, I was taken with paralytic
shock, which affected the whole of
the left side, and [ could not speak
for three weeks. I was confined to
my bed for a long time and constant
~ attended by physician, though
little relief was experienced. My
stomach and the muscles of my
throat were much affected. [ was

burg, Va, having then lost three fin

gree, my arm often becoming numb

ceived the stroke, I had two distant

The Cassava.

Within the last few years the cas-
sava plant (Manihot Aipi) has been
gaining in favor with the farmers
and producers in Florida. It might
be better to say ''re-gaining," as it's
culture seems to have been, years
ago, quite general among the scatter
ed settlers in the state. Justly so,
because of it's great value as stock
feed. The same process of analysis
which shows that the grain crops of
the north produce a feed perfect for
the needs of cold climate, also
shown that in cassava we have the
feed fitted by nature to meet the
needs of hot climate. But beyond
this there lies a future for the devel-
opment and manufacture of cassava
which will justify the highest claims
for it's usefulness yet made by it's
friends.
The value of cassava, as a crop, for
the manufacture of starch, and OF
glucose, deXtrine, and other products
to be derived from starch, is un-
equalled by any other crop per acre.

ions. There have been failures OF
canning factories in the south
these have not been brought on by
natural circumstances; they have
been caused by lack of economy
and painstaking, care and co-opera
ton.
There are indispensable elements
of success in any business. The far
mer is slow to plant for these fac
tories, even when the Gamer tells
him he can realize more for the
product in one season than the land
it is grown on would sell for. Let
the Gamer go ahead and demon
strate to the farmers by actual tests
that the growing of these products
is not harder than to cultivate an
acre of siX-cent cotton, and that the
same land that makes him in good
seasons One-half bale of cotton to
the acre, will grow him on an aver
age of 200 bushels of tomatoes at %
cents per bushel; IS bushels of peas
at 60 cents per bushel; or 100 bush
and so on, and not impoversh his
land to the extent that cotton does.
One farmer related to me i'm Indi-
ana some years ago, when he re-
ceived check for eighty odd dol
lars for tomatoes grown on less than
AN acre of land, that it ''was SO easy
that it was just like picking it up in
the road" Once get the farmers 10
know the good of it and the balance
is easy. There is another feature Of
the canning business that deserves
special mention, and that is the en-
ploNment it furnishes at good wag-
es to every class Of people. Male
and female find it pleasant and prof
lIaDle work. An OuUIlU LOT canning
costing 5000 would give employment
to at least forty people directly, and
as many more Indirectly. 1t is pc
culiarly adapted to the smaller
towns and cities. Yes, canning will
pay in the south. You have those
things which, with good manage
ment and perseverance, will make
canning factories pay in the south,
as they are paying in grand way
in so many other states.

ence to this industry that [ can.

An analysis of the dry cassava root
realizes 80.06 per cent of starch. Raw
Irish potatoes realize from seven to
25 per cent starch, and maize, (o1
corn), realizes 81 per cent. The quail
ity of the potato starch is inferior to
averaging seven times the size OF
obtained from cassava. The agri-
cultural department reports: "The
cassava, however, more nearly re-
sembles the maize starch than it does
any well known variety, and by rea-
son of it's resemblance could easily
take the place of maize starch Ii. e.
corn starch in the kitchen and
laundry" An average crop of cas-
sava ON sandy soils is easily from
four to five tons per acre, from
which fact any farmer can calculate
it's value as comparedwith corn. 1t de-
mands better culture than corn, more
time and labor, but less expensive
fertilization. It is a sure crop, hav-
iHg no enemies but the salamander,
ind it withstands drouth remarka-
bly,, as is proved 10y the fact that it
lbsorbs less than eleven pounds of
mineral matter to the ton of roots.
The young men who have engaged
in the manufacture of cassava starch
at Lake Helen feel that they have
passed the stage of experiment. Sew
eral perpleXing problems in connec-
ton with the peehng, grinding,
fetching, straining, etc, of the cas-
sava have been met and overcome.
They find before them a ready mar
llet for much more than they can
now supply. They are ready to pay
good price for more of the root than
is now to be found in this vicinity;
a price that VIII ensure the producer
from $4,000 upward per acre.
From a tom of cassava they get
about 500 pounds of starch. The re-
naming 1900 pounds they dry, and
adding IS per cent cotton seed oil
cake obtain a complete stock feed.
Or the pomace is dried, re-ground,
bolted, and sold for ''pan cake -four -
and excellent cakes it makes. After
the starch is extracted from the cassa-
va by a very simple process it can be
transformed into tapioca. Twenty
four hundred pounds of commercial
glucose can be realized from an acre
of cassava.
In the culture of cassava great care
should be exercised to get good
':seed." Plant from three to four
inches deep in squares from four to
AZ feet each way. Cultivate both
ways. Plant seed in the early spring.
Cultivate thoroughly until the first of
June. After that date use sweeps;
very shallow culture to avoid injury
to the roots. After the first of Oc-
tober the roots will be ready to har-
vest; but there is no hurry, as they
will continue to grow until gathered

Oglesby's engagement to one Of the
Pullman twins came as great surprise
to the friends Of the young people over
two years ago and the rumor. concern

countless since that time. When the

Further Details of the Massacre of Lieu

Simla, Nov. 12-The viceroy Of India,
the Earl OF Elgin, has ordered a court OF
inquiry 10 investigate the disastrous re-
connoissance of the British force under
General Wastmacott. which on Wednes-
day last reached the summit OF Saran-
Sar mountain with little resistance and
afterward retreated, closely pursued by
the enemy, with the loss OF about fifty
killed and wounded, the British rear
guard only being saved by the excellent
disposition Of the troops made by the
commanding officer.
Dispatches received from the British
camp in the Maiden Valley say that a
man who had just come in there brought
some details of the killing of Lieutenant
Mcintyre and the twelve men belonging
to the Northamptonshire regiment who
met death while endeavoring 10 save the
wounded OF the regiment during the re-
treat from the S4ran-Sar mountain. This
survivor says that when the lieutenant
found himself isolated he dispatched him
for aid, as the small party was hampered
by the wounded and would not desert
them. The rest of tlne sad tale will never
be known. But, as shown in the dis
patches of yesterday Lieutenant McIn-
tyre and his handful Of men sacrificed
their lives for their wounded comrades,
the positions in which the bodies were
found showing tEat they died bravely
fighting to the last. The enemy was
afraid TO rush upon the little band. the
dispatches also say, but shot az them
from points of vantage until every man
of the British detachment was killed.
