1.-THE Atlanta Constitution" tells how
a minister got even with mean man,
who had invited him to dinner. Inc
mean man had plenty of money, but he
didn't spend it on his table, which on
that occasion showed but scant fare.
"Parson," said the mean man, times
are hard an groceries high; but SIGH as
it is, you're welcome. Will you ak a
blessin'?" II WILL" replied the parson

this coffee without sugar, and after we
have received it give Thy servant strength

The death of Mr.. Coventry Patmore,
which occurred little over month
ago, removes poet whose sole aim
was to beautify home life and to praise
the Wife. His Angel of the House
was, practically the apotheosis of a
good wife, and such IA wife Patmore
had. With such views he has endeared
himself to most of the quiet and good
homes in the United States and in
England. 1t says much for the race
when poems such as his go straight to
the hearts of even the unregenerate.

If you have passed our store
at night during the past week
you may have noticed lights

The Primus Oil Stove is the

port points out that no one in Califor-
noa fears now the "cottony cushion
scale" the "pcrnicous scale" the 'ycl-
low SCALE" the "cottony grape scale"
the "sofe orange scale" and the "Leca-
MUM"
That the parasites used to destroy
these creatures naturally disappear
with the disappearance of their food
is true, and the scale may show up
again. but it is the duty of an Agri-
cultural Bureau to watch such a thing
and to cultivate colonies of parasites
to be used when required
The report under review says that
doubts have been freely expressed, in
writing, by several prominent ento-
mologists to orchardists and planters,
as to the wisdom of relying too much
upon parasites" but the work of the
parasites in the Hawaiian islands
is quoted in refutation of this
argument. As fact any of us who
have lived on the islands for the last
half dozen years can remember how
our trees were threatened almost with
extinction and that it was only the in
PRODUCTION of the parasites that saved
not only our fruit trees, brl even oCr
shade trees. Many can re '"'nhcr how
the Monkey Pod treee IT the terminus
of the Nuuanu line of street cars had
to be mutilated in order to save them.
That to Mr.. Marsden, the Commits
sioner of Agriculture, is due the full
credit of clearing us of our pests goes
without saying. To Professor Koebele
we have to give the honor for the thor
ough scientific skill, but we would not
have had Professor Rochelle unless Mr..
Marsden had found him for us. 1t is
a good thing that the Islands have an
agricultural bureau well conducted.
The fight against insect pests is a
hard one. California, as far as The
Star knows, was the first place in the
world to meet the pests by natural
means. 1t speaks highly for Hawaii
that it has so quickly followed in the
footsteps of the best State of the
Golden West.

A DANGER TO ART.

Artistic fads are very curious. In
the writer's lifetime there have been
several-notably the re-Raphaelite
fad, which, by the way, produced some
good painters. The late Sir John Mil
lais was of the school, and so was
Dante Gabriel Rosetti. Sir John broke
away from the school and painted
some great pictures. Rosetti never did,
and his pictures. as his poetry, remain
today as a monument of eccentric
genius.
A special fad of the present day is
the poster" Collections of posters
have been displayed in New York,
Paris and London. The style used is
bizarre" in the extreme and the de-
signers vie with one another in pro-
.ducing things that must strike the eye
Of course that is the object of the
Poster. 1t is presumable that a green
COW under a red tree can be stood on
the hoardings of a city and that the
stilted drawing does not necessarily
drive one to premature suicide, but it
has gone beyond this. The wretched
Poster has invaded the Magazines and
the illustrated papers, its influence is
even to be found in Life" Incongru-
Gus and angular males and females are
thrust before our suffering eyes. A
somewhat extensive knowledge OF
Magazines and Papers has assured The
Star that the disease is rampant. The
only thing to be hoped for is that il
may have its course quickly, and that
artists will come down to naturalism
and leave the poster alone.

We intended speaking about
our new Coffee Machinery
which was brought down by
the "Dimond," but shall post
pone it until next week, when
we will have the machines set
up ready for inspection. In
the meantime we will talk on
a few of our specialties.
First is the Gem Ice Shaver
or Planer. In appearance it
resembles a common plane and
is used in the same manner.
1t is great labor saver as
well as ice saver, and after
once being used will never be
dispensed with.
/ Another neat and useful
contrivance is the Fish Scaler.
The scaler part is about an
nch wide and six or seven
inches long, having two rows
IF teeth, similar to a curry
comb, running the full length.
1t saves soiling the hands and
does the work better and more
expeditiously. The price is
25c, which brings it with n
the reach of all.
Claus Bread Knives are
too well known and commonly
used to need any explanation
on our part.
French Carvers, or Slicers,
as they are better known. are
especially adapted for use
when under-cuts are desired.
We have other Carvers and
Carving sets ranging in price
from 81 to $15, and are Of an
excellent grade of steel; in
fact, out of the ordinary.
No household is complete

An idea, by no means new, is being
used now in the United States. 1t is
the mailing of illustrated papers in
pasteboard tubes. As far bac'. as the
thirties the use of paste board tubes
for sending matter which required
care, was in use. The idea, however,
is good one and will enable country

INSECT PESTS.

The fifth biennial report of the State

report shows what work is being done
in the direction of fighting the various
blights by natural means. The subject
is one of intense interest to the Ha-
waiian Islands, because they suffer
fornia orchards did. There seems to
he an idea abroad that the natural
method of defeating parasites is not
one that can he used with advantage.

that time is proving that this method
of combating Obstructive scale insects"
