BY the Miowera the other
day, we received direct from
the factory, a magnificent as
sortment of French China.
Among the lot we have two
new stock patterns, from which
customers may select either one
piece, or ten dozen. In this
way customers may replace any
breakage at the lowest possible
cost and without the necessity
Of purchasing an entire new set.
In this same invoice we have
some of the most beautifully
decorated toilet sets ever shown
in Hon lulu. These are made
of fine crockery and will orna-
ment any wash stand.
A fad among Honolulu peo-
pie is decorating china. At
the exhibition by the pupils of
Miss French at Oahu College,
a short time ago, some beauti-
full specimens, the work of her
pupils, were shown and will
stand comparison with the work
of professional artists abroad.
Our stock which was opened a
day or two ago contains all sorts
of pieces and in many sizes.
They are made especially for
decorating and are inexpensive.

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 a great labor saver as
well as ice saver, and after
once being used will never be
dispensed with.
Another neat and useful
continuance is the Fish Scaler.
The scaler part is about an
inch wide and six or seven
inches long, having two rows
of 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 within
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 SIS, and are of an
excellent grade of steel; in
fact, out Of the ordinary.
No household is complete
without a knife, fork and spoon
Tray, or Compartment Box.
Its usefulness is only exceeded
by the beauty of design of the
box.

Knives, Forks and Spoons in
assorted sizes for every day

The pastoral Tartars, who found the

guiding their focks and herds, first
drew the attention Ct mankind to the
horse. 1t is crcditaEle to mankind that

Among the interesting things is a
table of the varieties of fish on the
Honolulu market. OF these there are
no less than ninety-seven and it is
stated that all but twenty-five are req
ularly on hand. Our housewives should
certainly sean this list and sample
some of the varieties. The idea OF a
large number of our people is that he
mullet is the only thing worth eating.
II is entirely erroneous. Any one who
has travelled round the islands knows
how many delicious varieties of fish
there are. II has remained. however.
for Mr.. Thrum to compile the statistics
of the varieties in the Honolulu mar
ket. II would not be a bad idea for
some one to start a fish-dinner restau-
rant. There used to be dozen or so
round Billingsgate market thirty years
ago. Nothing was served but fish. and
you could get eight or ten courses for
about sixty cents.
OF the other features it is impossible
to speak at length. The synopsis Of
the year is good and there are valuable
articles upon the Hawaiian Flora. up
on the volcanic phenomena, upon ship
ping. upon epidemics, and so on.
There are a few inaccuracies. among
which is noted that the Brothers in
charge of st. Louis College are listed
as Brothers of "St. Joseph" while they
are in fact brothers of Mary" There
are also some misprints. But these are
but spots on the sun. The work is an
admirable one and speaks well for pri-
waite enterprise in the mid-Pacific.

President Jackson on December 81.

tive to the recognition of Texas. He
said: In the preamble of the resolu-

L. S. TREATIES.

The treaty making power in the
United States is very clearly laid down
in the Constitution. 1t forms a portion
of Article IL, Section of the Consti-
tuition. The section runs "He"-the
President-"shallh have Power, by and
the Advice and Consent of the Senate,
to make Treaties, provided two-thirds
OF the Senators present concur; and
he shall and by and with the Advice
and Consent, appoint ambassadors,
other public Ministers auI Consuls."
Article III, Section 2, says: "The
judicial Power shall extend to all
Cases, in Law and Equity, arising
under this Constitution, the Laws of
the United States and the Treaties
made, or which shall be made, under
their Authority, to all Cases affecting
and Consuls."
Article VI says: This Constitution,
and the Laws of the United States
which shall be made in Pursuance
thereof; and all Treaties made or
which shall be made. under the
Authority of the United States shall be
the Supreme Law of the Land; and the
Judges in every State shall be bound
thereby, any Thing in the Constitution
or Laws of any State to the Contrary
Notwithstanding
The above paragraphs have been
quoted verbatim from the Constitution
of the United States. an admirable
and terse document. in order to show
our people what the treaty-malling
power is and also what the treaty
breaking power is. The paragraphs
quoted are all that bear on the subject
of treaties, there is not another line
on the subject.
Now, mark the effect upon the Ha-
waiian Reciprocity Treaty 1t takes
two-thirds vote of the Senate and the
power of the President to make
treaty, but there is no word said about
what it takes to break treaty. AS
The Star interprets the organic law
of the United States, to abrogate
Treaty would not require more than
casting vote in the Senate
Looking up the rules the only things
that require two-thirds vote
are as follows: Rule XXIN,
Section 3, which says hat such
vote is required to dispense with the
nir,p 70, Of
Rule XXVIII, Section /, requires a
two-thirds vote to suspend rules, and
Rule NNNI says that a similar vote is
required to dispense with private bus
mess on Fridays. Not a word about
treaties, search among the rules as you
will
1t behooves our sugar men to read,
mark, learn and inwardly digest the
above information. One single o,e
may someday overthrow the treaty Of
Reciprocity, which was obtained by so
great efforts and required ,wo-rhirls
majority to pass it. Is it not better
then to look to something solid, tc
work and aim at something ;uat shall
not be ephemeral? There is and can
be nothing which will give solidlty 20

What a world of worriment
Their melody foretells,
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
Everywhere by day and night,
While the paths they oversprinkle
And the cops eyes seem to twinkle
With devilsh delight.
What fuss, fuss, fuss,
How the nervous people cuss
At the Standardization that forever
Swells and swells
From the bells, bells, bells,
From the jangling Of those warning cycle
bells.
Hear those buzzing cycle bells
Dreadful bells,
What state of misery
Their ding-a-ling foretells!

Women run from them in fright,
Scared to death!

Run and hide behind the trees
Out of breath!

What gush of lunacy Volumnously
Swells
How it swells!
How it dwellS,

Grotesque indeed are some of the
latest picture hats sent out, COM
posite as to decoration and fearfuliy
and wonderfully made. The brims in
many cases are irregular frills of vel
vet, the crown ridiculously high, the
folds arranged in the most fantastic
fashion. The apex of some of the
Mother Goose shapes sometimes threat
ems to overweight the base of the crown
Jeweled pins, clasps and slides are put
in to keep the puffs and folds in place
If plain covered shape, the crown is
of the jam-pot order, seven or eight
inches high perhaps. Bands of satin,
bead galloon or jet encircle the crown,
there is a lowering bouquet of black
ostrich feathers with others quite as

sometimes directly in front right over
the face or overhanging the brim by
some inches at the back
