The cleanest, brightest safest and really
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
solve me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that You want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what You wall.

In this climate you need a
preparation that builds blood
and fattens without the stimu-
lating effect produced by alco-
holic beverages.
MALT MURINE might
properly be termed non-alco-
holic, as it contains less than
2 per cent of alcohol.

1t should be borne in mind that the
four United States first class battle
ships are admittedly among the finest
in the world, as are also the two ar
mored cruisers, while SPANS single
battle ship is of less up-to-date type,
carrying lighter guns and having in
ferior armor. The Spanish armored
cruisers are good ships from every
point of view, having two guns heav-
Ter than any carried by the New York
and the Brooklyn; but either of the
latter would be more than Il match
for one of the Nizcaya class be-
cause of the greater number of
heavy guns.
Although the Maine and the Texas
are classed with the Numancia ami
the Vitoria, neither of the Spanish
vessels would stand for ten minutes
before either of the two former. In
fact, the Texas alone could capture or
sink both of the Spaniards.

Pupils May Enter

the progressive school of shorthand
and typewriting at any time, forenoon,
afternoon or evening. Day pupils are
given instructions i'm the evening class
free. The most modern methods are
used in this school, and efforts are
made to obtain positions for pupils
when competent. The system is taught
in public schools and business colleges,
as well as by all classes of professional
men. Mr.. G. Herrick, court reporter
in Galveston, Texas, the most rapid
writer in United States, writes this sys-
tenn at the rate of 275 words perminute.
There are no positions to learn, no COM

for school children to learn. 1t helps

The club will hold another meeting
Saturday, Feb. 18th, in Unity parlors.
The object of this organization is the
establishment of a kindergarten in the
city. Added to this, it is desired to in
terest and educate mothers and teach
ers in the Froebel methods of child
training. In order to accomplish this
kindergarten plan it is necessary to
form an organization Of at least thirty
five members who will pledge them
selves to support and forward the I'M
dertaking for at least one year. All
persons of either sex may become men,
bers by giving annually one dollar. 1t
is also necessary to get at least twenty
five children enrolled to begin with,
and as many more as the school room
will accommodate. The school board
have most kindly given the use of a
room in the new building and the Kin
dergarten should be opened the first
week in April. Parents desiring to
send children should enroll them at
once, in order to give the organization
an opportunity to secure an experienced
Kindergarten. Here is chance also
for anyone having no children to send
to encourage the Kindergarten, and do
bit of missionary work by sending
some child whose home environments
and opportunities are not conducive to
the best moral training. 1t would be
an interesting experiment for any one
to take some little neglected waif from
the street, and see what three hours a
day of kindergarten training would
bring fOrth-an experiment from which
any philanthropic person would derive
much pleasure at a comparatively small
outlay, as the terms will not exceed
fifty cents week and can be as much
less as the number of children will
warrant. All children three years of
age and upwards are eligible.

Be Ye Ready.

Let all christians watch and pray,
And live living faith every day.
A faith that believes in prayer
And trusts in Jesus, everywhere.
That knows the penalty of sin,
That If a home in heaven we win,
We must be every whit whole,
With no faint of sin, on the SOUL
A christian evangelist, of fame,
Phoebe Palmer was her name;
Said "puritanical or too severe,
Cards or Gice or anything near
Would actually frighten me,
And very unhappy i should be.
/ could not look for rest
While such evils | possessed"
Oh fora divine shower of grace,
To fall upon sinners in this place;
In or out of the churches fine
Or those that deal in wine.
If Jesus should come tonight
Reader, would you feel fright?
Or could you say as you aught,
In this way long have fought.
Come Lord Jesus, oh welcome now,
AS at the cross we humbly bow.
Help us in faith to rejoice
And accept thee as our choice.
No way TO save mankind,
Can any saint or sinner find
Except through Christ tits given,
bone can ever enter heaven.
