JULY 81, 1897.

A carpenter is known by the
tools he keeps. Many car
penters can do good work with
interior tools, but it stands to
reason that better ones will do
better and quicker work. 1t
is our wish that every carpen-
ter in town call at our stores
this week and see our stock of
carpenters tools; we have
everything he wants. We are
always on the lookout for
novelties and necessities that
will expedite and simplify the
labor of the mechanics, and we
are confident that the good
things spoken Of below will
do so.
Balsley's patent screw driver
and holder is the most unique
tool ever placed on the mar
ket. By a simple arrange
ment the screw is held in posi-
ton as firmly as though it
were a portion of the driver
itself. The tool can be ad-
justed to fit any size of head in
a fraction of a second.
Oil stones are used constant
ly, and should be kept free
from grit or dust. The handy
oil stone, set in q wooden
frame with wooden cover, is a
gem.
We have an immense stock
Of carpenters tools, such as
spokeshayes, iron planes, wood
planes, chisels, AIDES, ratchet
braus, steel squares, jennings
expansion bits, avis and tools
(self contained) and very
handy, hack saws and hand
saws, saw sets, gauges, car
penters', engineers and far
riers' hammers, rules and pen
ellis and a thousand and one
other things.
What we sell we know is
the best to be had and we sell
as cheap as any other house in
town.

been given and the book found
its way into the libraries of all
nations, and there is not a man.of-
war afloat but has the book aboard.
But Captain Mahan's more re-
cent work was even a greater eff
fort, in the face of dozens upon
dozens of biographies and brooch
tires of and upon Nelson, he has
written the only life of Nelson.
No other author seems to have
understood his subject as Captain
Mahan has done. He shews us no
lay figure, he does not overwhelm
one under an avalanche of letters
and pretty details, but he makes
the Nelson of the past live before
us, and shows us that he was far
above a mere sailor or a clever
admiral that he was a statesman
of the highest order, who under
stood the handling of the power
that was confded to him, so that it
gained no mere brilliant victory
but that it obtained solid advan-
tages. Nelson was fortunate in
that he was victorious, but he
would have gained what he aimed
at even had he suffered defeat.
Ones usual idea of Nelson is
that he was rather a fortunate
sailor, whom fate was kind to,
and that there might have been
half a dozen other officers of his
time who, had they had his oppor-
tunities, would have been success
full as he. But Captain Mahan
shows us that there was but one
Nelson, and that he lowered above
his contemporaries.
The account that Mahan gives of
the long watch of two years off
Toulon, the chase of Villeneuve
across the Atlantic and back and
the final battle of Trafalgar, that
battle which Nelson had aimed to
fight at any moment through that
long watch, is mastery.
1t has taken an American officer
to shew England the true great
ness Of her naval hero. No pen
can ever do the work again. Cap
tain Mahan has written a work
which will remain a classic in the
English. The diction is graceful,
style clear, and once or thrice it
rises to the poetic. In a time of
peace Captain Mahan has won a
victory for himself with his pen,
and inscribed his name as the fore
most among the naval writers of
any country and of any age. One
feels assured in reading his calm,
we'll weighed words that had for
tune placed him in command
among warning peoples he would
have proved as great with his
sword as he has done with his pen.

Nobody has yet said that

sertion as a preface to the
statement that the largest and
best assortment OF china and
crockery ever brought to Hon

Brenhilda brought share
of it and the invoice is pleasing
to every one. The shapes al e

A NAVAL AU THOR.

Captain Mahan when he pub
lished his first work, appealed to
the profession of which he is so dis
tinguished an ornament. The
Influence of Sea Power upon a His
tory" was a great book, but there
was much that was technical in it..
1t opened up ideas, crystalized
them as it were, and throwing aside
the technical portion the general
public read and understood the
main essence of the work. Never
had so clear AIN exposition of the
reason for the success of England

The murder of Japanese woman
and child on Maui adds another to
the crimes committed on that ISL
and. The japanese, though usu-
ally quiet and P aceable people,
seem capable of very horrible acts
of violence under moments of ex-
element. Witness this case and
the case of murder OF the japanese
interpreter at Spreckelsville month
or so ago. 1t ought to be plain
that too many Japanese in the
country are by no means healthy
for the general population.
