LESS BREAD.

The rise in the price of wheat
will bring about one of two things;
either a rise in the price of bread,
or, what is exactly the same thing
under another name, diminution
in the weight of the loaf sold. Thus
though the farmers are rejoicing
over the prices obtained for wheat,
the mechanic and artizan will COM
plain of the price they have to pay
for the prime necessary of life.
The bakers Of New York have
already, in number of cases, re-
duced the weight of their loaf, but
they say that should the price Of
wheat and -four decline again the
old style loaf will be restored. The
matter OF the weight of the poor
mans loaf will probably have to be
settled by law or there will be much
fraud, and the poor man and his
family will suffer. One statement
made by the bakers is somewhat
startling, and that is that out of
barrel of flour containing 1916
pounds of -four, $50 pounds of bread
can be made. Where do the extra
"a pounds come from? Bread on
these Islands is cheap and we do
not bother our heads about it.
Moreover, the poorer classes do not
depend on the bakeries, but either
bake their own or use other staples
of food. So the bread question,
which will become a serious one in
the States, will not trouble us.

UEIGHT OLE METEORS.

OF f07 meteors observed in England
during the last ten years w. f. Den
ming finds the greatest height to have
been 1876 miles; average height at first
appearance 1876 miles, and at disap.
pearance 45.3 niles average length OF
path, 62.1 miles, and velocity per Sec
ond 26.9 miles. OF 100 meteors whose
paths are given by Professor Won Ne,
issel, the average height when first
seen was 81 miles; while one, which
was observed from Servia to France,
over a path of ITO miles, was seen
from the extraordinary height of 4S3
miles to that of rs miles.

Guatemala is not a pleasant
country to live i'll apparently. A
recent resident writes to a Seattle
paper that just recently financial
crisis occurred. A loan was ex-
pected from Germany of SIS, 900, 900,
which was nominally for railroad
extensions, but which would have
been used to meet current expenses.
The syndicate financing the loan,
moreover, would not put up the
money except in payment of actaul
construction bills from time to time.
Failing in this the President got a
forced loan of 81, 500, 900 of silver
from the banks. The banks put up
the money and then had to suspend
specie payments. The correspond
ent, who had been working for
Barrios, got his pay in paper and
exchanged it at the rate of $27c
paper for 500 American silver.
Truly a very pleasant country tc
earn living in.

students of Stanford University.
The educational advantages that
Stanford offers are very great the
staff of professors contains the names
of men of very high ability and
President Jordan's name is itself
world renowned, but the institution
suffers from the reputation given to
it by the idle and worthless. Such
elements about university have an
evil influence upon others, as well
as upon themselves. The example
of a vicious student effects many
who would otherwise not think of
straying from the proper path.
In dealing with university
students, however, they must not
be molly coddled, that process only
produces set of moral prigs, who
are, if anything, more intensely
Objectionable than any class e
budding man or womanhood. Part
of the training which the youth gets
at the university should be that
which strengthens the moral fiber
not by shutting it out from all
temptation, but by putting an ideal
before it which should be lived up
to. A healthy public opininon
among students, such as Arnold
managed to rouse among those who
came in contact with him, is far
more valuable in the process of
forming men and women, than all
the rigid rules which can be put in
force. When it is looked upon as
dishonorable to be idle and dissolute
by the students themselves, the
great end is gained.

WHAT Is 1T?
The Russell Staple Puller
and Wire Splicer.

The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer is a drop
forge tool, made of black dia-
mond tool steel, and embraces
six tools in one; weight, about
a pound, and can be carried in
the hip pocket with ease.
The six tools are as follows:
l. Double staple puller,
nails, etc.
2. Double wire cutter.
3. Double hammer, nom
breakable.
a. Good wire splicer, for any
kind of wire, barbed wire in
Guided.
5. Good pair pincers, with
long leverage.
Good monkey wrench, for
plows, machines, etc.
The leading fence companies
throughout the middle and
western States have adopted
this tool for use in putting up
their fences, and recommend
it as the best tool of it's kind
in use.
1t is one of those tools that
while used in wire fence work,
yet might be called ''house-
hold article" as everyone that
has used it claim they cannot
afford to be without it around
the house, barn and farm.
If other dealers tell you that
they have something that will
do as well and is cheaper.
don't have it. Why? Because
no one or two tools are as
cheap as six.

In quiet way, which is not
much noticed, Captain Parker is
doing good work for the animals.
The crusade that has been carried
on recently against the hawkers
who drive shoeless horses over the
roads is a step in the right direction.
There are no animals that need pro-
lection from their task masters more
than horses. These men buy broken
down animals cheap and work them
upon minimum amount of food,
and with as little care for their COM
fort as if they were lifeless machines.
The whole community is interested
in this matter of cruelty to animals
for great slur has been cast upon
us as a community for not paying
more attention to the matter. This
is one of the things that requires
constant attention and not merely
spasmodic effort To the two lady
humane officers great credit must
be given. Their influence has
brought the matter prominently
before the public and it is to be
hoped that they will continue in the
good work which has been so we'll
begun.

Week..

The smokeless stove, on
which water is boiled in our
show window, has been a great
attraction for several days to
students in philosophy. The
Jewel is a good stove, any
way.
The special subject for the
people this week is not stoves.
That subject is a daily one.
This week you will have nov
elites of all sorts.
This is the season when the
hens go on strike and the
price of eggs goes skyward.
Hens want a little encourage.
ment now and then, and the
best thing known to science is
green bones. But they must
be cut up fine. We have the
best green bone cutter in the
world.
Another novelty is the soap
saver, made of re-tinned wire,
basket shaped, with long hand
les. This is the best soap
known, and we have three
sizes. They are cheaper than
dirt and much more beautify-
ing.
Dripless tea and coffee
strainers are new and very
serviceable. There's a cutoff
attachment which prevents
coffee or tea from dripping on
the table cloth after the cup is
filled. Very cheap, these, and
pretty, too.
A six-knife Victor meat
chopper for a quarter seems
like a dream, but it isn't. We
sell them at that price, and
we sell the holdfast dust pan
the best you ever saw.

LET US WEEP.

Cassandra, poor old woman, was
weeping copiously this morning.
What she was weeping about is a
little difficult to find out, but by
carefully reading and rereading it
dawns upon one that Cassandra is
unhappy over the Chinese.
With that strong spirit OF Ameri-
canism that animates Cassandra,
she mourns over the prospect Of fur
Their "humiliations and restriction"
upon her beloved celestials. She
draws picture Of the patient, frugal
and industrious wearer of the pig
tail, that makes her hug him to her
bosom and dream Of cheap con-
tracts for her houses and for palaces
yet unbuilt. She frowns upon
the American mechanic who
stands trembling before the peace
full Chinaman and dares to ask
living wages for what the Chinese
is willing to botch for IS cents a
day. The community at large will
surely sympathize with the morning
paper in its sorrow.
The store keepers. the merchants,
the workers of the Islands, must all
feel for a journal that sets up a
piteous wall over the future "humi-.
liation and restriction" Of the
Chinese. They will mourn over the
fact that their prices are no longer
to be cut into, that their goods will
find larger market. Yes, indeed,
they will carry gifts symbolic of
their affection and their high appre
citation of the noble tears shed by
the lover of the Asiatic versus the
Latin and the Anglo Saxon.
For the Latin Portuguese is
represented as wicked enough to see
that, when Asiatic restriction comes,
he will have large share in the
local government of the territory. "
A very henious crime in him this
IS. Brethren let us step aside and
shed some more tears, the Portu-
guese are republicans, and they do
hol dIiuilC Jul DSlONSu SSlSSlldlS,
boohoo!
And there is the Jap. He is going
to be barred out. He is a very in
telligent and plausible creature,
and Cassandra finds he writes very
interesting letters, far superior to
the stuff produced by Anglo Saxons.
Oh! how sad this all is. Another
tear for the Jap.
There, there, Cassandra, dry your
poor old eyes, it is not so bad as
you think it is, there are yet steam
ers running to the Orient and you
can transport yourself over to Il e
Celestial Empire and enjoy yourself
to your hearts content, put up
houses with workmen at ten cents
day, and issue jeremiads on yellow
paper for the benefit of the children
of the sun, moon and other lumi-
naries of the sky. Cheer up old
woman, there is hope yet.
Meanwhile we will devote our
selves strictly to business and try
and make an Anglo-Saxon state in
the midst of the Pacific, over which
the flag of the Great Republic shall
float, protecting sci of treemen,
under free institutions, and free
from the fear of Asiatic dominance
so dear to the heart of the P. c. A.

CHANGE AT STANFORD.

President Jordan has taken an
important and thoroughly wise step
when he proposes to weed out the
idle and dissolute from among the
