THE SMELL OF SPRUCE.

The children's Christmas tree, long saved, and
Dropped bit by lit upon the blazing fire,
Sheds through the room, even as the flames
leap higher,
A smell of pitch that bids me think of how,
Long years ago, beneath the sheltering brow
OF that gray hill knew, I'd seek a spot
Whore wind or sun or storm might enter
not
So dense tho foliage il would but allow
The light of day dinly to penetrate.
And in the midday twilight of the knoll,
Eemmud in by spruce trees, young and tall
and straight,
There dwelt, it seemed, tho woodlands heal
ing whole,
It's gloom, its breath, its odors-misscd of late
Its peace, lis silence and its very soul

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:
"Give 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: scnd
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.

this line and have just received a lot of the

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as n medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale Of
millions OF bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose Of
manufacturing and selling "A laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene.
fetal in its effects than any other
known. in the process of manulact-
uring, figs are used, as they art
pleasant TO the taste, and healthiul
IN their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties Of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benehcially.
II in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.
