bombing ANALYSIS.

'In time of peace prepare
for war" is an excellent adage,
and one which the United
States evidently believed in
when the new navy was built.
We in Hawaii have especial
reason to be thankful that in
times of peace such a magni-
ficent specimen of marine ar
chitecture as the battleship
Oregon was made ready for
such emergencies as the pres
ent, and shout take the lesson
to heart, not alone in national
affairs but in those of the
household. Suppose the Japa-
nese fleet should blockade Ho-
nolulu, for instance, we should
soon find ourselves run
ming short Of lots of little
household neCeSSarleS other
than provisions.
This week we have one of
our windows filed with an as
sortment of articles necessary
in every kitchen. Buy them
today while you have chance.
Among them may be enumer-
ated chopping bowls, all sizes
and shapes, egg beaterS, lemon
SqueezerS, chopping knives in
several varieties, nutmeg
graters, gem ice shavers, but
ter moulds, fruit pickers,rolling
pins and bread boards.
Another useful novelty is
the family butter case which
just holds one roll; the butter
can be cut off as needed with
out moving it from the case.
See that your kitchen is
supplied with all these requi-
sites before the war breaks
out.

had from the following summary
given in a late Washington dis
patch:
"The report says the labor
question is the most important
one in the economics of this bust
ness in this country. It estimates
the minimum cost to pick one
pound of tea in South Carolina
about eight times as much as that
paid for the same service in Asia.
In districts favored with sufficient
heat and rains, plants furnish
from fifteen to twenty pickings
yearly. In the South Carolina
fields the conservation of moisture
by draining is enhanced by sys-
tematic surface culture. The re
port suggests that it seemed i'm
practicable to compete with the
cheap Oriental labor, and, while
some of the pro ,esses of develop
ment have ben left t. machinery,
the picking of leaves requires dis
elimination in selection and has
to be done by hand, but the pro-
blem has been met by establishing
a small colored school where tea
picking is included. Seeds have
been imported from all tea regions,
especially from high attitudes. A
vegetation of one e. third OF The
seeds is a general average, and the
loss of a whole importation is no
novelty. With careful pruning
plants here should maintain their
pristine vigor for forty years, but
pruning is costly manipulation.
The report urges the development
of knowledge as to tea raising by
means of schools"

JAPANESE FINANCES.

Budget statements of the Jap
anese Government are being
analysed by the native press.
One of the criticisms copied by
an English paper illustrates that
things are not always what they
seem. The budget for the Goth
year, voted at the ninth and tenth
sessions of the Diet, gave POT $780,
O75.4l5 yen revenue and 2O3,.
45S, O79.S95 yen expenditure, thus
prehguring surplus of 3,77l,-
995.52 yen. The National Regis
ter gave the national accounts en-
tered up to June 80 last, showing
the revenue to have been 1885,.
3l2.9Sl yen, and the expenditure
166, S90,243 $50 yen, leaving n sur.
plus of 1896, 069G31 yen. Upon
this the critic remarks that some
people may infer that the expan-
sion Of the expenditure may
be easily disposed of, as
the estimates for Surplus of
3,7OO,000 yen have actually
brought about 90 million yen. He
shows, however, that The surplus
was not procured by an increase
of the revenue, because the reve-
nue. had actually fallen below the
estimate by more than 20 million
yen. Also he shows that more
than 20 million yen was from the
Chinese indemnity and not dis
bursed, while of 43,745,000 yen
which wss to be raised in the form
of public works loan only four
million was raised. The sum of
the two should be deducted from |
the revenue, when the true surplus
would be 4,4l9,651 SGT yen. The
surplus was caused by a decrease
of 36 million yen in the expendi-
ture-not from its polite curtail-
ment, however, bat because public
undertakings did not progress sui
fcieutly to justify the estimated
outlay. "The production of the
surplus for the Goth year." the
Chugsi Shogyo concludes, sis
therefore not at all a healthy
sign"

The Eieven from ~. u. VI. =. Penguin
beaten by Local Players.
A very interesting game of
cricket was played on the old
baseball ground, Makiki, on
Monday afternoon between the
Honolulu Cricket club and II. M.
s. Penguin.
The home team went first to the
bat and succeeded in making a
score of LOG by good steady play.
The Penguin eleven made a very
poor start, four wickets falling for
two runs, and six for thirteen,
and it was not until Lieut.. Brewis
was joined by Mr.. Toop that the
score began to increase. Lieut..
Waugh and Deane did some very
good batting; so did HI. Herbert
for the Honolulu eleven. The
bowling of Maloney was very
good and uniform-very few runs
being made in his overs. A. st.
Nj. Mackintosh was up to his
usual form and bowled exceeding
ly we'll, performing, what is the
delight of all bowlers, the hat
trick'-that is, bowling three men
ont in three successive balls. IL
is to be regretted that Mr.. Kane is
about to return to Hawaii, for his
fielding will be greatly missed.
Yesterday he was on the spot
whenever a ball came his way and
made good and useful catch
which dismissed Lieut.. Brewis
from the field.
There will be practise on Wednes-
day and Friday evenings on the
ground in front Of the Barracks.

months been painting at the carriage

delaware Farm.
Philadelphia Record. Saturday.
Residents OF Vest Cullingswood have
been distributing their own mail for
the laet few days This rather remark.
able srate Of affairs is due to the fact
that Postmaster John Groves, through
a combination of financial difficulties
was compelled TO relinquish control Of
the general store which be operated in
that village and accept a position with
a Camden grocery firm. The salary
of the postmaster of West Collingswood
in but SIG month, and as Postmaster
Groves could not manage to make both
ends meet on such stipend, he threw
up the place in disgust. Deputy Sheriff
Sell of Camden had closed the general
store where the postotlice was located
previous to that on an execution secured
by person who held chattel mortgage
on the stock Groves having no place
to keep the postoffice in and having re-
ceived an offer of a lucrative position,
decided that the best plan was to
abandon the field. But this action may
prove to be a serious matter for him, as
pustolilce department inspector ia
making an investigation Of the matter.
Richard Colings was formerly post
master at West Collingswood, but he
traded his store with man named
Wilson for a farm in Delaware and
moved there. Mr.. Wilson refused to
accept the postmastership in the trade,
but agreed to act as deputy for Mr..
Ceilings. Finally Mr.. Wilson disposed
of the store to John Grovee, VINO sub
sequently became postmaster. But the
latter soon became financially embar-
rassed us stated above and sought other
fields of usefulness aud profit. Conse-
quently thers was no one to handle the
mails. and the residents of the village
have been compelled to distribute their
own letters or go without them. Some
boys performed this service on Wedues-
day night and the following evening a
woman took charge of the missiyes.
Arthur Mallon is candidate for the
postmastership and says he will erect
suitable building If appointed, but he
cannot secure the position until the
absent postmaster is either suspended
or removed.
