Mr Miller says that he has found on
numerous occasions that the glass milk
Jars in which milk r almost Invariably
deli iyered, supposed to contain either Il
riut or quart, have not the capacity
which is claimed for them. In fact, In
most. if not all the Jars he has examined
he has found n shortage very larger in

this way, he says. the householders Of the

great In themselves, still, in the aggre-
gate, amount to considerable.
Mr.. Miller proposes to stop this abuse
He viii, first consult the attorney for the
District, and If such a proceed ing is
authorized by law, will promptly confis-
cate all short jars. At any rate, he says,

If the Jewel stove had not
met with popular favor in
Honolulu, we would not
have ordered the second
time. Since we opened
business in our present
quarters, less than fourteen
months ago, we have sold
400 Jewel stoves. By the
w. H. Dimond which arriV-
ed on Thursday, we receiv-
ed 80 of different sizes. 1t
constitutes one car load di-
rect from the factory; another
lot will be here in a week.
This is without exception,
the greatest fuel saver that
has ever been imported to
the Islands. The JEWEL is
made on the best stove prin-
CipleS and saves money to
the purchaser. They are low
in price and made to wear
every piece of the stove may
be duplicated and in this way
it will last forever. 1t is
cheaper to buy a single cast
ing than a whole stove.
We sell them for cash, al
lowing s per cent. discount.
We also sell them, as before,
on the contract system, the
purchaser paying one-third
in cash, the balance in five
equal monthly payments.

CHRISTIAN WORK.
The Outlook Pays Tribute to That
of Honolulu.

In the Religious World" depart
ment, the Outlook of March % pub
fishes the following: Honolulu is one
of the interesting and active centers
of the worlds religious work. OF course
the city is not large, but the quality
are certain forms of Christian activity
to be found there which are nowhere
surpassed. The Central Union Church
is practically the cathedral of the city.
Its pastor is the Rev. d. p. Birnie. II
has membership of 523, forty-siX per-
sons uniting with it on profession of
faith during the past year. Three hun
dred and forty-five families are in at
tendance at the church. The years in
come is not far from $4,000, and in adj
dition about $4,000 is expended for be-
nevolence, to which sum something
over 81 500 from the Sabbath school
must be added. This Union Church is
the center of work in that city, but
there are many other forms of service
worthy of study. For instance, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank w. Damon have a
wonderful school among the Chinese,
which has averaged during the past
year from $50 to 200. The devotion of
Mr.. and Mrs. Damon TO their pupils
can hardly be exaggerated, and the
benefit is universally recognized. In
addition there are several chapeIS
among the natives, in which various
kinds of Christian and philanthropic
work are constantly being carried on.
Those who imagine that the old mis-
sionaries of the Sandwich Islands have
no successors in their children are
greatly mistaken. There is no finer
company of Christians anywhere than
those at Honolulu, and a visit to their
churches, schools, charities and mis-
sionary agencies is a real and lasting
inspiration.

ORDINANCE WANTED.
To Prevent Cinnamon From Us.
ing Mouth Spray.

An effort is being made by persons
here 20 establish a steam laundry, to
be conducted entirely by white men
and women. The advantages of such
a place to persons who send their
clothing to laundries are manifold
and not the least is the fact that
the dangers OF transmitting disease
through the filthy spraying custom
would be reduced TO a minimum.
In San Francisco. recently, the
Board of Health passed an ordinance
prohibiting the Chinese laundrymen
from spraying clothes with their lips.
\ few days later there was a whole
sale raid in the Western Addition,
and nearly every laundryman was
locked up.
1t is suggested, in view of the step
taken by the San Francisco Board of
Health, that the authorities here
make an ordinance of the same ma
ture.
