FEBRUARY II, 1897.

Nothing is SO annoying in
business as being disappointed
in the arrival Of goods that
are easily turned into money
and in a great many instances
prevented from filing orders
that have been placed in adj
vance. This has been our ex-
perience with the New Pro-
cess "Blue Flame" Oil Stoves.
Owing to the immense sale of
these stoves in the United
States, the makers have been
unable to ship until now our
invoice ordered some months
ago, the same having arrived
on the last Australia.
Possibly the most positive
proof of the success of the
New Process Stove is the re-
suit obtained in baking. By
the use of a simple device it is
impossible to turn the wick too
high, thus ensuring a steady,
perfect flame at all times. The
use of coal oil (kerosene) is so
general that every household
is provided with it; hence there
is no annoyance in the matter
of procuring fuel. The num-
Der "1O5" has three burners,
and No. wO6" four burners,
otherwise, they are exact
counterparts of each other.
We have a few Of the small
sizes in Golden Anvil Steel
Ranges, and a fine stock of
Pansy Stoves in numbers S,
6 and 7.

In many parts of "the land
of the free and the home of the
brave" at this time of the year
building operations are sus-
pended and every man has his
eye on the coal dealer while
watching the water pipes
showing a tendency to freeze
up.
In Honolulu, where spring
is four seasons in the year,
carpenters may work inside or
out.
The unusual operations of
the past year has had a depres-
sing effect upon edge tools, for,
like everything else, they give
way with too constant use.
We have,Sin view of the pros
pective demand, made a big
buy of the finest grade of tools
obtainable in Eastern maekets.
They are what carpenters and
machinists need all the time,
and when buying the best they
get that which lasts longest
and obviate the necessity Of
breaking in"

GET FACTS.

The wealth of the United States
grows. How largely it crows few
consider. In 1896 the total wealth
OF the country was calculated at
$40, 100000 The millionaires
are estimated at 1000. 1t is pre-
sunable the figures are correct. De-
Quoting these from the GROSS sum,
and allowing each of them $40, ooo,-
600, there is capital wealth left in
the Republic of $500 head, which
is an increase of siXty-siX per cent
upon what it was fortv-fve years
ago.
knowledge of this kind can only
be obtained by keeping accurate
statistics. In this country accurate
statistics are not kept. With us,
even the birth and death rate is
predetermined. AS to the wealth of
the citizens there is absolutely no
accurate data. The tax assessors
office gives some clue, but it is the
acknowledged business of certain
classes Of the community to deceive
the tax assessor, if possible, and in
many cases they succeed.
1t is to be hoped that the time
will come when accurate informa-
ton upon economic matters will be
obtainable. Buried in the mind
of this or that man, buried in
dozens, one might say oceans Of
small reports, there is a good deal
OF information. accurate and mac
curate, but there is no collation. of
facts that a man can put his hand
on the moment he wants to use
them.
This is question winch will need
consideration, whatever form of
government we may have in the
forthcoming years. If we are to
keep our place in the race, we must
have our facts easily at hand, and
must. have some one whose duty it
is to collect ana collate item.

There seems a chance of Sims
Reeves passing through here. Like
Mark Twain and Walter Scott, a
business reverse has swept away
the brilliant Accommodations of life
time. AT the age of seventy-nine
the celebrated tenor is going to tour
the States and eventually go to
Australia. 1t seems a melancholy
end to a career. The writer remem-
bers Sims Reeves in his prime
when he sang in the ballad concerts
at the Crystal Palace and was en-
gagged in opera at Her Majesty's
Theater, as it was called. By the
way, he lost his theatrical wardrobe
when it was burnt down in 1867. Il
he sings here it will be well worth
going even to see the man. He has
been the contemporary OF many tai
ented vocalists, who have Ions

The Hagev Institute should be
prepared to meet the use of cocaine
as an intoxicant. 1t is said to be far
more injurious in its results than
morphine, and the habit is claimed
to be growing. In New York there
are sixty thousand people who use
it and the same is true of Paris and
London. A victim OF cocaine is
liable to become temporarily insane
and in that condition may commit
any injury to himself or to those
around him. 1t is curious that a
medical discovery which was sup
posed to be a blessing to mankind
should again prove curse. Yet
that is the history OF a large num-
Der of the drugs now in use. Bal
ance the account and it is question
able whether some of the medical
discoveries have not done more
harm than good.

How Instruments of the Dissecting Rooms
Are Kept Sharp.
1t is well known that in dissecting the
most delicate and finest Of steel instru

these instruments extremely sharp. The
ordinary coarse stone or strop would ut
terly destroy the delicate blades. 1t is also
we'll known that razor can be nicely
finished" ON the palm of the hand. This
fact led to the use Of small crude strops
made of bits of flesh, secured in the dis
secting room. The possibilities of this hui
man flesh strop appealed so forcioly to the
practical mind of one of the students that
he began experiments, which have resulted
in the introduction very quietly on the
market of razor strop made of human
flesh.
One side Of these strops is made of black
flesh and the other side of white flesh. The
skin for these strops is secured in this
way: When students are given parts of the
human body to dissect, the skin is usually
removed and thrown away. This waste
skin is now in great demand.
The leg skin is the part most priced, as
it is from this thaG the most desirable
strips Of flesh for razor strops are secured.
The epidermis and the dermis are careful

Captain Mahan, the celebrated
writer on naval subjects, who re-
tired from the L. S. navy lately to
devote himself to literary work in
his special line. In the January
number of the Century Magazine
he has commenced the first of a
series of four articles upon Nelson
most famous engagements. 1t is
curious that the best, and in fact the
only, scientific writer upon the
naval affairs of England should be
an American naval officer. The
naval histories compiled in Eng
land never go into the careful
scientific detail that Captain Mahan
does. In fact he has perfectly rev.
olutionized naval literature. 1t is to
be hoped that he may live long to
give the world the rich stores OF
knowledge which he has now been
years in acquiring.

 A BOY AND AN ORANGE.
Ax, In,

Laurence Hutton Tells How He succumb-
 ed to Temptation In His Youth.
 The boy was taught, from the earliest awakening of his reasoning powers, that truth was 10 be told and 10 be respected and that nothing was more wicked or more ungentlemanly than broken promise. He learned very early to do as he was told and pot to do, under any consideratio what he had said he would not do. Upon this last point he was strictly conscientious, although once, literally, he ''beat about the bush.' His Aunt Margaret, always devoted to plants and to flowers had, on the back stoop of his grandfather house, little grove of orange and lemon trees in pots. Some one of these was usually ill fruit or in flower, and the fruit to the boy was 8 great temptation. He was very fond of oranges, and it seemed to him that homemade orange, which he had never tasted, must be much better than 8 grocer's orange, as homemade cake was certainly preferabl even to the wonderful cakes made by the pro- fessional Mrs. Milderberger.
 He watched those little green oranges from day to day as they gradually grew big and yellow in the sun. He promised faithfully that he would not pick any, but he had notion that some of them might drop off. He never shook the trees, because he said he would not. But he shook the stoop, and he hung about the bush, which he was too honest to beat. One unusually tempting orange, which he had known from its budhood, finally overcame him. He did not pick it eff, he did not shak ke it off. He compromised with his conscience by lying flat on his back and biting off piece of it. It was not a very good action, nor was it & good orange, and for that reason, perhaps, he went home immediately and told on himself He told his mother. He did not tell his Aunt Margaret.
 His mother did not seem to be as much shocked at his conduct as ho was But in her own quaint way she gave him to understand that promises were not made to be cracked any moro than they were made to be broken-that he had been false to himself in heart, if not in deed, and that he must go back and make it all right with his Aunt Mar garrett She did not seem to be very much shocked either; he could not tell why. But they punished the boy. They made him eat the rest of the orange.
 He lost all subsequent interest in that tropical glade. and he has never cared much for domestic oranges since. Boy knew," by Laurence Hutton, in | St. Nicholas. -.,

SOME BIG SHIPS IN THE AT
 LANTIC TRADE

What was denied to ship-building gen. jus in the earlier days of steam navigation as respects ability to float immense hulks economically, is being attained in our day through the slow processes of evolu- tion. When Brunel's colossal Great Eastern steamship proved it's practical worthlessness 35 years ago, the last of such giant construction for the ocean was supposed to have been seen. But the North German Lloyd company is having some ships built in Germany which will rival the Great Eastern in carrying capa- city if not in dimensions. Two of these ships, one of which (the Friedrich de Grosse) has already been launched, will have a gross tonnage of 1S.O00, which compares with 1S,9l5 tons for the Great Eastern although in length the latter was 691 feet, while the new German ships will fall below 6OO feet. But third ship is to be built for the German company which will be much the largests afioat in the worId-a twin-screw steamer of 2O,- GOO tons displacement, 625 feet long, and fitted with engines of 28,OOO horse power The nearest approach to this size and capacity in the transatlantic trade is made by the two Cunarders, the Campania and Lucania, which are 6O1 feet long and of gross tonnage each of 12 800. When the Great Eastern was launched in 1858 the gross tonnage of the larger ships en- gagged in the Atlantic traffic hardly exceed ed 390O. It was as late as 1874 when, in the noted City of Berlin of the Inman line, ship appeared with tonnage as high as $500. The next steamships to appear, noteworthy for their size, were the city of Rome of the Anchor line which was built in 1881, and the Servia oi the Cunard line, built in the same year, and the other of 1899. Then in 1888 came the sister ships New York and Paris, wi tn 8 tonnage rising to 10,500 and then ir 1893 the Canpania and Lucania, with 12. 800 tons
 This gradual growth in B years back to the size of the colossal and abandoned Great Eastern has been accompanied by a corresponding increase in efficiency o control and speed. The best time made by the Great Eastern between New York and Liverpool was, roughly, 10 days. Th' biggest of the existing Atlantic steamer has made the journey from Queenstown to New York in about five days and sever hours, or little more than one-half tn, time consumed by the Great Eastern I SprinQfeLd ReDublicG7a

chinese Freebooters Have a Speedy
Trial and a Dose Of Their
Own Medicine.
1T PROVES TO BE A FATAL DOSE
Taken Before a Court at Canton
Where They Are Found
Guilty aud Arc Bchcad-
cd at Once.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 22.-Chinese au-
:horities are at last taking steps to put
IN end to the daraing acts of piracy
which have made the southern Chinese
coast notorious as a resort of brigands
and thieves for years.
Just a month ago twenty pirates We're
captured in southeastern China and
taken before a military cour at Can
ton for trial. Tbs evidence against
them was so convincing that the mill
tary officer sitting as judge pronounced
the death sentence after two days trial,
and they were Immediately beheaded.
Chinese papers state that these pi-
tates We're the most notorious robbers.
and have committed grave crimes Of
every description.
Only a few weeks ago they perpetrat-
ed one OF the most daring outrages ever
known in that region at that time. y
son of Captain Chung Kwei, a Million
ARE trader at Singapore, was moving
down to Canton with a junk loaded with
silks n other valuable manufactures.
Two days u from Canton the pirates
since beheaded attacked the junk, killed
two sailors and plundered the junk Of
the valuabies aboard, which included
jewelry and silks amounting to $50. 900,
and $780, 900 in notes.
Next morning information was sent to
Canton, n authorities sent a gunboat
after the pirates.
1t was thought they had escaped, but
it seems that a daring and capable ma
val officer was in charge Of the search.
He obtained a clew, which resulted in
capturing the pirates hiding place on a
small island off the coast. The pirates
were caught mapping and nearly every
one captured. together with a large
amount of booty.
