1t is an old saying that clean
illness is next to goodness and
we believe it to be a true one.
SO many people in Honolulu
use our stoves and kitchen

all sorts of things for kitchen

Soap is one of these things.
1t is not exactly in the line of

be claSsed as merchandise.
Anyhow we have a lot of ii on

there is none better in the

For a shaving soap there is

In medicated soaps we offer
the well-known Cuticura at

This latter article is excellent

are of considerable interest for
more reasons than one. Japan's

and Hawaii, with regard to emf
grants for those countries, is dis.
creetly left by the Hawaiian sani-
tary representative to be dealt

tive. If the proposed measures

PRESENT CHANCES.

W lille there is nOtnlng 10 ne
expected from the extra session of
Congress, now being held, in the
way of dealing with the Hawaiian
question, the time has come when
this question ought to be consid-
cred at Washington. The way is
clear for its consideration, free
from any distractions of party
interest on either side of American
politics. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are fairly even in point of
failure of their policies. Presi-
dent Harrison's annexation treaty
turned out fiasco. SO did Pres.
ident Cleveland's restoration
scheme. The present administra-
ton is committed to no definite
proposal, excepting to maintain
American "control" over these
islands. Such, however, does not
require annexation. 1t is not like.
ly that President Mckinley will
take the initiative in any definite
Hawaiian policy. We have rea-
son to expect, though, that he will
not assent to any action that will
tend to make the relations between
the two countries any less init
mate than they are at present. AL
30 it is impossible to believe that he
would oppose any measure of Con-
gress for making those relations
closer. Our representatives at
Washington, then, would prob
ably do better at this juncture by
working for congressional action
than by negotiating to secure exc
cutive initiation of the subject of
Hawaiian annexation. Whatever
they do they ought to let the pro-
moters of the cause at this end of
the line know something about
their procedure. It's only a poor
fight at best which is made in the
dark. The Government here has
not gained anything for the cause
by the mystery it habitually per-
mits to surround the subject. The
clashing Of information from au-
thoritative sources which is some
times apparent is indeed liable to
be positively injurious. This
seems to have happened in con-
nection with the Attorney Gener-
ais present mission TO Washing
ton. When he was leaving here,
and again on his arrival in San
Francisco, he announced himself
virtually as a paramount envoy to
the American capital, with autho-
rity superior to that Of tie per
msnent Minister there for con-
Guiding negotiations for annexa-
ton. That was his mission and
nothing else. Yet, when Mr.Smith
reach ed Washington it was given
out, as coming from the Hawaiian
Legation, that he had no official
standing whatever in any negotia.

ing the relations between the two
countries. This confusion of
official information is provocative
of a tired feeling on the
part of supporters of annexa.
ton at Honolulu. 1t is to be
hoped that the feeling will be al
layed after the arrival of the
mail tomorrow, by the Govern
ments communicating to the pub
lie a true idea of the situation
at Washington. Its supporters
here are eager to help the cause
along. They are misrepresented
by the wouldbe oracles who, on
the one hand, insist practically
that neither the statesmen at

Facts Regarding Divers,

The dress of fully equipped diver
weighs 1882 pounds, and costs about
$500. First of all comes S1a pounds of
thick underclothing; then follows the
dress itself, weighing IA pounds; boots
81 pounds, monstrous things with lead
en- soles; breast and back weights, 80
pounds; and lastly, the helmet, which
weighs 35 pounds. When the hull of
the Great Eastern was cleaned by div.
ers as she was being loaded with the
cable for the Indian submarine tele-
graph, the contract price for the work
was FL 800, and it was completed in six
weeks by twelve divers. The incrusta.
tion on her bottom was more than a
foot thick, and after it was removed
she lifted fully two inches. The great
est depth at which diver may safely
work is $50 feet. There have been
however, rare instances of diving to 204
feet, and sustaining a pressure of SS1!
pounds on every square inch on the
body of the diver. Diving was first in
cepted by the action of the elephant In
crossing a deep river, when he swims
beneath the water, elevating his trunk
by which method he breathes. The
work of diver consists in recovering
lost articles, and singing them in sucl
a manner that they can be easily haul
ed up, cleaning and coppering ships
bottoms, cleaning propellers, and com
municating by slate and voice. Wher
able to work at a depth of 100 feet a
diver is considered fully qualified. The
flag ships in the British navy carry
eight divers, and the cruisers four each

Australian Oddities.

Australia has furnished several sur
prlses In the peculiarlties of its animal
and plant inhabitants. One of these
was discussed ut recent meeting of the
Linnean Society of New South Wales.
In Australia eucalyptus trees are in
dlgenous, or native to the soil, while in
many parts of the world they have been
acclimated ON account of their anti
malarlal properties. But, although else
where insects appear to avoid these
trees, the avoidance in some cases
amounting to positive antipathy, yet
in Australia just the opposite condition
of things prevails. There, it appears,
insects of almost all kinds flock to the
eucalyptus trees and eagerly feed upon
them, so that in some localities the
trees have been threatened with extinc-
ton. 1t has been suggested that the
reason for the peculiar relation of in
sects to the eucalyptus In Australia
may be that originally the ancestors of
the former were driven by necessity to
adopt a foodplant containing sub
stances naturally distasteful to them,
and that in a long course of time an
hereditary liking for what was at first
disliked has been developed.

The RIackamith'a Note.

The sound old proverb about the shoe
maker sticking to his last receives new
confirmation in a story from the Green
Bag.
An honest old blacksmith down In
Texas, despairing of ever getting cash
out of a delinquent debtor, agreed to
take his note for the amount. The
debtor wished to go to lawyer and
have the document drawn up, but the
knight of the anvil, who had been a
sheriff in days gone by, felt fully COM
petent to draw 1t up himself. This he
proceeded to do, with the following re
suit:
"On the first day of .June I promise
to. pay Jeems Mite the sum of eleving
dollars, and If said note be not paid on
the date aforesaid, then this instru-
ment Is to be null and void, and of no
effect Witness my hand, etc."

Glass to Keep Rooms Cool.

An Austrian inventor, Richard Szig-
mondy, is said to have made new kind
of window-glass whose chief peculiar
ity is that it prevents the passage of
about nine-tenths of the heat of the
suns rays. 1t is we'll known that ordin-
airy window-glass allows nearly all of
the heat derived from the sun to pass
through, but on the other hand inter-
cepts nearly all heat coming from non
luminous sources, such as stove, or
the heated ground. This is the reason
why heat accumulates under the glass
roof of hothouse. If covered with
Szigmondy's glass a hot house would
become most decidedly cold house,
since the heat could not get into it. One
advantage claimed for the new glass is
that a house whose windows were fur
nished with it would remain delightful
ly cool in summer. But In winter, per-
haps, the situation would not be so
agreeable. Indeed, the panes would
have to be exchanged for others of or
binary glass since otherwise no sun
heat could enter the house.

The White Trout Legend.

In county Tipperary. Ireland, there
Is a holy we'll in which swims white
trout with red spot on its side. Lady
Wilde, mother of the poet, tells the fol.
lowing legend of how this strange fish
originated: When Cromwell's army was
passing through Ireland, it bivouackod
in the neighborhood of this well. A SOL
dier hearing of the splendid white
trout in it, swore he would have it for
his next meal. With scoop net he
managed to capture the fish, and when
he reached home laid it in the frying
pan. Immediately it leaped out ON the
floor. Several times this was repeated.
Finally the soldier put the lid on the
pan and great stone upon it to hold 1T
down. When he thought the fish cook
cd, he transferred it to a plate. The
moment, however, he stuck his fork in
to it there was great shrek, the front
leaped to the floor. and there instead of
fish lay beautiful young girl with
blood streaming from her side where

AneCdote of bismarck.

Americans are familiar with the
stronger features of Prince Bismarck S
character as shown In his political acts
but among his own people anecdotes
| are told which exhibit his keen wit in
repartee and love of fun, qualities for
which we have not perhaps given him
enough credit.
One story told by German diploma
| tist Is said to be authentic. At the close
of the Franco-Prussian war hasty
conference was held by the German
leaders to decide upon the amount of
indemnity which should be exacted
from France. Bismarck, differing
from Won Moltke, telegraphed to Ber-
| lin for financier in whom he had un-
bounded confidence. The man was a
Hebrew, and was, for some reason
disliked by the great Prusian general
When, therefore, he gave his opinion
| that the amount demanded should be
so many thousand million francs, Won
Moltke exclaimed impatiently:
absurd! 1t Is too much!'

Won Moltke and the Hebrew tried to
look grave, but both laughed, and the

deeper meaning, The financier, when
