THERE'S A STATUE

inside Of every block of marble, but
only an artist can release it. On
the same principle it required skill
and patience to extract from Cod
Liver Oil its curative and flesh
building-properties, leaving out the
bad odor and the sickening taste.
In Wdmpoie's Preparation this is
done. 1t is Cod Liver Oil combined
with Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites, Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry Bark. Search the
world over and you will find moth
ing so pleasant and effective. Chill
dren who protest with cries and
struggles against "that nasty cod
liver oil, "and other disgusting medi-
cines, take Wampoie's Preparation
as they take common syrup. So
much for its superficial qualities.
AS a remedy there is life and health
in every dose. For Nursing Moth
ers, Invalids and Consumptives it
has no rival. 1t expels disease germs
from the blood on modern scientific
principles. Twelve pounds in weight
have been gained from a single
bottle. 1t gives you an appetite
and makes your food do you good.
For An@mia, Scrofula, Rheumatism,

has no rival; its merit is wholly its own.

Capt. Gregory, of the Iwalani,
got a glimpse of the strange
schooner that has been reported off
Lanai. He could not make her out
but thought she had smuggler

The Iwalani, Capt. Gregory, ar
rived this morning with 1912 bags
of sugar, part of which was dis
charged into the Albert. She is
now discharging into the r. P.

At an early hour this morning
the Diamond Head lookout report

everyone thought it was the Mono,

false alarm, for the steamer proved
to be the Iwalani. The lookout
was deceived by the long yards OF

1t was while Henry Liddell was head
master of Westminster school that his
fame began to extend as the author of n
Greek lexicon, published few years be-

that they must write an English epigram
Most of the scholars declared the task to
be impossible DIR. Liddell insisted that
they were wrong. 1t was not impossible
Each scholar might choose his own sub
ject, but epigrams must be written. This

Mary Morris Eyes.

Rossetti has been credited with making
William Morris acquainted with the lady
who was to be his wife, and the legend
turns that he did so because he had fallen
in love with her eyes and wanted Morris
to possess them. A new story about Mrs.
Morris eyes and Rossetti has appeared.
Not long after the marriage Rossetti asked
a few friends to consolation dinner. u
During the festivity there was some dis
turbance outside the windows, and when
it had ended Rossetti went to one of them
and drawing back the curtain showed a
bull in the garden tethered in the midst OF
the ruin he had made. AS his friends ex-
claimed at the presence of such an unruly
element, Rossetti ruefully explained that
this was his consolation" though he
feared he should have to get rid of it to-
morrow. 81 bought the bull, and l meant
to cherish it while it lived because-you
can see-he has Mary Morris eyes"

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 a 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 want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
