By the Miowera the other day,
we received direct from the fac
tory, a magnificent assortment
of French China. Among the
lot we have two new stock pat
terms, from which customers
may select either one piece or
ten dozen. In this way custo-
mers may replace any breakage
at the lowest possible cost and
without the necessity of purcbas-
ing an entire new set.
In this same invoice we have
some of the most beautifully de-
corated toilet sets ever shown in
Honolulu. There are made of
fine crockery and will ornament
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 beautiful speci-
mems, the work Of her pupil,
were shown and will stand com
parison with the work of pro-
fessional artists abroad. Our
stock which was opened day OF
two ago contains all sorts ofpieces
and in many sizes They are
made especially for decorating
and are inexpensive.

They are officially in the nature
Of State Funeral The flag Of the
Executive is half-masted, and the
corpse lies ia State in the former
Throne Room OF the Palace, where
Hawaii's Monarcbs, and those Of
Royal blood or alliance have laid in
State before. To-day, it is the
Legislative Hall and Reception
Room of the Republic of Hawaii,
and the ssddest duty to which it
has been assigned since the founda-
ton of the young republic is to be
the temporary resting place Of
once honored official of the United
States, who dying here will leave
behind him his memory but not his
remains
All that loving and kindly hands
and hearts could possibly do to
testify to the high esteem in which
the late Minister is held by very
many has been done in the way of
floral gifts and emblems.
The mercantile community in
general has also expressed their
sentiments by half-masting their
flags aud closing their places OF bust
ness. Naturally upon such a sad
occasion, the Diplomatic and Con-
sular corps and the ships in port
lowered their flags, and the Public
Offices and the Courts closed for the
day and the Public Schools after
their morning lessons.
The Government in all its depart
ments has used every energy to give
emphasis to its feelings of regard to
the deceased, and the Foreign Office
and Col. McLain, the Grand Mar
shal, have been indefatigable, in ar
ranging the civil and military honors
to be paid. The parade promises
to be one Of the largest funeral pro-
cessions seen here for many years,
and that in spite of the showery
and threatening weather
The funeral services will be held
at Central Union Church, and will
be conducted by Rev, j. Monroe Of
the Christian Church, of which

Tie following has been issued by
the Nevada section OF the weather
bureau for the week ending Monday
July l., 1897:
The first half of the past week vas
generally too cool for the satisfactory
growth Of crops. but the latter half
was the beginning OF a warm period.
which has already been OF marked
benefit to ali crops. Light frosts oc
Cured in localities i'll Humboldt,
Lyon and Ormsby counties, while IN
Elko potato vines we're killed in some
places. Clear weather prevailed
throughout the week.
The week has been especially fav-
orable for hayirg in all parts OF the
State, on account Of the absence OF
showers and high winds. Alfalfa
has all been cut, and the first crop
was cured and saved in good condi.
ton. The crop i'll Elko was cut a
little short by the June frosts, but as
a rule 1t was good and very heavy III
some localities. Timothy is nearing
the harve sting stage in Ormsby and
Washoe counties.
In ElkO county wheat and barley
are just heading, and will o o be in
the milk, the stage at which it Is
liable to injury from frost, but the
warm period which began dur .ng the
week will likely place them out of
danger. Oats and barley generally
show some improvement.
New potatoes are plentiful. Apples
and peaches irregular; abundant in
some localities. a failure in others.
Currants are plentiful and raspber-
ries ripening fast.

How the Craze for Lilac Had Its birth
In Vienna.

no" tne CrAEe Tor Lilac HRd It's birtn
In Vienna.
Many years age. in the days OF her
radiant beauty, her imperial majesty,
Empress Elizabeth, of Austria, sat for
her portrait to Schrotzberg. n fashion
able Niennese artist. The picture, says
Munseys, was painted at the request of
the empress royal cousin, Ludwig ii.
of Bavaria, and was destined to grace
the walls of his gallery Of beautiful
women in Munich. The artist recog-
nized the Importance of his commits
sion. and gave to the IN all the skill
OF his genius, which. in the matter of
color, had no equal in Germany. The
robe of the empress was of imperial
purple, of so marvellous n tint and SO
wonderfully painted that it dimmed
even the charm of the sovereign lady's
matchless beauty. Artists tried in
rain to initiate it, pens to describe it.
and in time il came to be known as the
historical lilac"
In the bathrooms of Vienna n tint
bearing h name Of Kaiserilla is in
vogue, which is as near the shade of
purple in which Schrotzberg clothed his
S"IASSS os lOOllS uuu pig
ments can make it. In this country lilac
has long been considered q color for
the middle-aged women, but now young
girls are taking a great fancy to it, and
the coming summer we are told will see
IT n reigning tint. Max Nordeau may
be right in the theory that devotion TO
violet is one of the surest signs of de-
generacy. but the stylish woman OF to-
day would much prefer to be called
degenerate" than "unstylish."

Highly Ornamental Process for Mold
ing Doors and Floor Material.

Ing Doors nnh Floor Material.
In the reports OF the Industrial union
mention is made OF n new process OF
floor mosaic, says the Yale Scicntii"
Monthly. Small particles of wood. n,
sawdust, wood flour and fine shayin.S
are treated first with Il mixture Of shell
lac and alcohol. and then with u ccmcut
made of Curd and Stacked lime. While
this mixture is still damp. i, is put into
hot molds of the desired shape and size.
and placed under pressure. The joint
action OF the heat and pressure unite
the wood most thoroughly with both
the Shcllac and the cement. After Il few
minutes the compound is taken out of
the mOlds when ii is thoroughly coolcI
and hardened. Great care is necessary
that no foreign substances. especially
of an oily nature. be present. as il would
prevent the cement from hcing alb
sorbcd into the pores Of the wood. In
making different cOlorcd mosaic the
natural color Of the woods used is taken
into consideration. then the wood Itself
is dyed, and lastly dyes dissolved in
alcohol are mixed with the shcllac. The
process is then performed as before.
In spite of it's hardness this compound
possesses all the perfection of wood. so
that il is particularly we'll adapted for
Use as n floor covering in living rooms
and private dwellings. An important,
advantage over all other processes Of
manufacturing mosaic floors is that il
is not affected by II change of t,,n.
