Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

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.

DEFINITION OF FAD,
New York Schoolgirls Find Terse and
Expressive Phrase.

So many fads nro engaging the atten-
ton of women especially young women,
that the subject was brought up for an
hours informal talk in fashionable
school for girls in this city a few days ago.
To start the discussion n teacher read from
q dictionary the following definition Of
the word:
"Fad-A trivial fancy adopted and pur-
sued for a time with irrational zeal; mat.
ter of no Importance, within, n crochet, u
temporary hobby"
"Now let us see IL we cannot find a
moro terse and expressive definition, said
the teacher 81 Hould like to Lear a sug
gestion from cach pupil
One of the oldest members of tho senior
class replied very promptly, "To be busy
with trifles"
THAT is very good, but it is dictionary
definition" commented the teacher 81
want original ideas."
How will this do?" exclaimed the star
essayist Of the schools "F-a-d-' Frivolous
and deciduous'' - "Or 'Fooling and dab
bling" cried flippant pupil
All of the girls thereupon took up the
cue and began forming phrases out of tine
three letters which constitute the word I'M
der consideration. Forcing a diversion"
was hailed as very appropriate definition.
"Fancful and dainty" was rejected as be-
ing inadequate and "Females all daft"
was spurned for obvious reasons. "Foibles
every day" was about to be adopted as the
best suggestion, when quiet pupil, who
had been busy with her pencil and tablet,
said, Here is one that is still shorter, For
n day"
With one voice the girls exclaimed,
"That's itp' And "For day" was unani-
mously adopted as the most terse and ex-
pressive definition Of fad. New York

The Company known through
out the world az the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as a medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose Of
manufacturing and selling "a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, rs they ar,
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneficially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

Naming Children in Denmark.

Denmark is prominently the land OF
steady habits and uniformity. In the
list of kings of the house of Oldenburg
Christians and Fredericks follow each
other as regularly as treads and risers
in staircase. Every King Christian
named his oldest son after his royal
father Frederick, and every King Fred
erick reverted to his own fathers name,
Christian, when new crown prince
was born and christened. There was
only one break in the alternate line oi
Christians and Fredericks during FIVE
centuries. One King Hans came be
tween two Christians That was about
the time of the discovery of America
when the unexpected was likely tC
happen. Since the reformation every
king has named his eldest son after hi'
father, and by force of habit Chris
tians and Fredericks have followed
each other with perfection of method
Royalty has set the style, and th'
humblest subject has respected thu
time-honored custom until Denmark
has been filled with alternating crop
of Christians and Fredericks. IN. Y

GOOD GARDEN SOIL.

1t Is One I'm Which the Atmosphere
Can Circulate Freely.
What is or what is not good garden
soil is often a great question. The Gus
toner often complains to the nursery
men that, though he planted his trees
in the very best soil, yet he had little
success. Very few people seem to un-
derstand that good soil is one in which
the atmosphere can freely circulate.
The earth must not allow the air to cir
culate to such an extent as to lose its
moisture, but it must have an abund-
ance of small spaces which will contain
small quantities of air before plants
will thrive. We sometimes speak of "air
plants" but, in truth, all plants are air
plants, no matter whether growing or
rocks or trees or whether growing in
the earth. Air is of far more conse-
quence to the roots than to the leaves.
When, therefore, we have stiff clay
earth to deal with, we make good soil
by applying sand, or vegetable matter
which when it rots will leave small
spaces i'm which air may be collected.
II is for the same reason that we crush
hard clods, for hard clod has 40 air
spaces. When broken to pieces--pul-
verizing is the technical term-we
simply give the chance for atmospheric
air TO spread throughout the whole
mass. Fer the same reason, what is
known as wet soil is bad soil, be.
cause water drives out the air. There is
no air In earth which is water-tight. II
has been noted that the use of hole in
the bottom of flower pot is not SO
much to allow the escape of water as Il
Is to permit fresher air to flow in the
spaces of earth when the water leaves
it. In the language Of gardening, q
good soil is one which is perfectly
"aerated. -Meehan's Monthly.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
INTELLlcENT EFFORT.

II Counts ns Much as Money I'm the
Improvement of Roads.
: The farmer should be particularly In
terested in having good roads, first be-
cause he is usually taxed heavily to
maintain them-as real estate cannot
escape taxation-and secondly for the
reason that he has occasion to use them
to a greater or less extent in the prose-
cution of his business. And the last
may often outweigh the first in dollars
and cents, when is taken into con-
sideration the moving of heavy loads
for considerable distance over poor
roads.
Here is view of the case that should
not be lost sight of. 1t is not those
alone who drive for pleasure or bust
ness over our highways that should ask
for or demand their improved condi-
tion. This is for their interest and
convenience, it is true, and rightly too

Stories of spanish Conquest Days Rut ~ n
Adventurers' Mouths.
FL Dorado is the term now heard ON
every side in connection with the
placer mines of Alaska and the north
west territory of Canada. It's deriva-
tion is of interest. In the fifteenth
century it was rumored that there ex-
listed in the northern part OF Soutn
America city of great wealth called
Manoa, whose king, by name Ell Do
RADIO, was periodically smeared with
oil of balsam and was then powdered
with gold dust, until his whole body
had gilded appearance. 1t was said
that ON these occasions he threw gold,
emeralds and other precious metals
and gems into a sacred lake, in which
he afterward bathed.
Beginning in 1852 the Spaniards sent
many large expeditions to search Tor
this phantom city, and most OF them
ended disastrously, hundreds OF lives
being lost. One explorer, orellano,
averred that he found FL Dorado in his
voyage down the Amazon in 1540. This
was disproved, but the search was con-
tinued down to the eighteenth CEN
tury. Some of the results were the
conquest and settlement of New Gra-
NADIA, the making known to the world
of the mountain region of Venezuela,
the discovery of the noble rivers, the
Oronoco and the Amazon, and the ex'
ploration of the vast forests west Of
the Andes. About the end of the six
teenth century an English expedition
either sent out by or under the per
sonal leadership of Raleigh penetrated
into Guiana, thereby obtaining a claim
on that country which has resulted II
requirement of the modern British
colony of that name.
1t has been supposed that the origin
of the fable arose from the yearly cele
bration of tribe of Indians near Bo
gotta, whose chief was on these occa
sions gilded with gold dust, but thi
ceremony was never witnessed by tn
Spaniards, and the story may simpl,
be another version of the Ell Dorad
myth.
The name Ell Dorado was commonl,,
used to describe the city or countr
which was the object of the search, bu
a later usage of the term has been II
fgurative application with regard t
any region of more than common rich
ness. Ell Dorado county, in California
was the scene of the famous gold field
of 40, and since then the expressio
has been used to describe many gol
camps.
These facts are taken from the Cei
tury dictionary and encyclopedia, an
may be accordingly accepted as quit
authentic. -Pittsburg Commercial G

CURING KICKING COWS
An Ounce of Kindness II worth .
Pound of Pounding.


Pound of Pounding.
Much of the trouble caused by kick
ing cows is caused by bad management
on the part of the milker. In our expe-
rience there is not one COW in dozen
but which, if kindly treated, will soon
dispense with the habit of kicking with
cut severe measures being necessary.
1t pays to be gentle and quiet in hand
hing the cows, and to let them know that
you are their friend and will not harm
them. They will soon learn to respect
you if you will treat them kindly. IT
is all well enough for COW to know and
understand that the one who does the
milking is the business manager" but
kick for the good reason that the milk
ing process hurts them, says writer in
the National Stockman. There are also
occasionally COWS that kick from pure
meanness. However, these make ex-
| cellent beef.
The gentle Jerseys are fast taking the
place of other breeds On the farm, and
the ones we have are real pets, as gen
tie, quiet and well behaved as need be
We never have any trouble in milking
them, but often milk them for the frs
time in the yard, without even fasten
ing them, though we are well aware
that the Jersey has plenty of mettle
any amount of it, when conditions arr
favorable for it's development. Let thu
dog chase the cows to and from the pas
ture, and this mettle will soon be ap
parent, as will be the decrease in th'
yield of milk.
There is another item in regard II
breaking cows to lead. A COW that i
kindly treated can usually be caught il
the pasture by placing your arm abou
her neck. If caught in this way the,
will seldom make any effort to ge
away. Place fve-ring halter on tn
cow, as this does not hurt like q rop
around the horns or the neck, and mos
cows will lead easily with a five-rini
halter. A good motto for dairymen t
put in their hats is this: An ounce o
kindness is worth pound of pounding
