One
Tells
Another.

And so the news spreads and spreads.
Housekeepers all around are talking of
the fine quality of goods bought at our
Grocery Department. As the news
spreads, so our groceries spread all
over the city, from Waikiki to Palama;
from the wharf to way up the valley.
There is only one conclusion to be
drawn, and that is: that the quality Of
goods must be right-not only that,
but the prices are right, the attention
is right, and the goods are in the right
condition.
Everyone knows of the American
Biscuit Company and the class Of goods
they make. The following are a few
of the many styles of crackers that
we carry: Graham Wafer, Honey, Pop
ular, Oyster, Cheese, NOah's Ark Ami
mails (for the little Ones), Pretzels,
Butter, Snowflake, Milk, Wine, Water,
Gluten Wafer, Ginger Cakes, Ginger
Nuts, Mic Macs, Saloon Pilot, and Pilot

In buying these goods you cannot
be too careful; many people have ex-
perienced rather disastrous results from
buying cheap trash, put up in tin. We
can youch for the brands we carry. In
the Cooking Fruits, we have a full as
sortment in gallon cans. Very econo-

The Early London Omnibus.

When tho queen camo to the throne,
omnibuses We're new but already pop
ular institution. They were longer, mar
rover and lower than the present ones
and had no seats Oh tho roof. The pas
sengers were carefully shut in by a
door at the end, as if to make quite sure
of them, once they were captured, till
they had paid their fares On little
round perch behind stood the conductor
or lead" hanging on by leather loop
passed over his arm. Sixpence was the
usual bus fare GO years ago, whether
you went from beginning to end of tho
journey or only few hundred yards
AS there was very little regulation of
tho street traffic of London in those
days, if the bus was filled up at start
ing it went like fire engine in order
to get i'll an extra journey, but other
wise it crawled and pottered about till
the requisite number was obtained.
Each omnibus was licensed only for
Il particular route. 1t paid the stage
coach duty of Go when first started and
u shilling year for keeping the license
in force, besides a mileage duty, varying
with the number of passengers it would
hold, but coming to about threepence
per mile on the average. -Gentlema

Grant and Longstreet'

General Grant had as much TO oo
with Longstreet's becoming kopupllc-
an as any ono else. They had pcen
schoolmates at West Point, had peen
graduated the same year and received
their commissions at the same tlihe.
They fought among the cactus bushes OF
Mexico and had drunk mescal from inc
same Jug a thousand times 1t was at
Jefferson Barracks, near ST. LOUIS tli"'
Longstreet introduced his cousin, MISS
Julia Dent, to Grant, and it was Long
street himself who told the young lady
of the worth Of his friend. Ihey were
married, and the Georgian was az the
wedding. When they next saw each
other, it was at Appomattox. A1tor the
formalities of the surrender were over
General Grant took General Lon9stree'
to one side and said:
"Julia wants to see you. 90 nome
and see your family and then come to
see me, won't you?'
Longstreet promised and he kept his
word. When General Grant became
president, he asked for his ADVICE anu
begged that his former adversary now
be ono of his advisers. General Grant
never had trucr friend during his ad-
ADMINISTRATION. They knew each other.
When the tragedy took place at Mount
McGregor, Longstreet suffered as II 1t
were the loss of brother. He has often
visited the tomb on the Hudson and has
laid the gentlest tribute of friend upon
the marble. Chicago Times-Herald.

Marriage In England.

Englishmen now, it is said, are emu
lating tho French in the absolute disin-
clination to marry. When they do de-
eide to take this important step, they
now frequently insist upon that dot
which is part Of the French idea of
successful and convenable marriage
The real fact Of the matter is that the or
binary modern Englishman has no desire
to disturb his bachelor estate. If he has
no title, no special wealth, no great his
toric name to hand down to posterity,
single blessedness is good enough for
him This state of mind is attributed
by many to the growing independence
Of women. Possibly this is true, prob
ably 1t is not. Mercenary spirits boldly
assert that marriages in England will,
on the whole, never be successful until
women bring dots to their husbands,
since gold inspires respect if not love.
Marriage Oh a strictly business basis is
evidently the future for all English wo-
men to look forward to.-San Francisco
ArgOnaut.

In connection with the stories Of Bis
marck's enemies among royal ladies
the following anecdote, which has new
er been publicly related, may now be
printed: Queen Sophia of the Neither
lands, tho first wife of King William
III Of Holland, was too great friend
of the Emperor Napoleon Ill, the En-
press Eugene and of Franco generally
to take kindly to the great chancellor.
Before the big war of 1870 and proba-
bly, some time after the Luxembourg
squabble there was an international ex-
hibition in Amsterdam, which the queen
visited. She was conducted over the
whole place by the committee, and as
they came to a certain section one of
the members said, "Now your majesty
will SEQ the greatest enemy of Ger
many" "Ah! Bismarck" she cried
with some glee. The members stood
aghast and never repeated this rash ex-
olamation. The "greatest enemy" he
had to exhibit was not, of course, Bis
marck at all, but only a very much en-
larged reproduction Of either the phyl-
loxera or tho Colorado beetle, which at
that time did a great deal of harm tc
German agriculture. -Westmiuster Ga

The CrOund Ia Alive,

We are so used to thinking of the soil
as nero mineral matter that it comes
quito as shock to find this is mistake.
AS Il matter of fact, the layer OF SOFT
mold which clothes the ground in all
cultivable districts and from which
vegetation springs is actually i'll great
part living layer Of tiny plants and
animals.
Intcrlacing threads of molds and
fungi, worms and grubs, creeping in
sects, tiny root parasites, decaylng
leaves and the millions of bacteria
which spring from thom-all these are
mixed and mingled together for many
inches down below our feet in a con-
fused mass of life. Germs of all sorts
swarm in countless millions.
Indeed, all the plants that grow and
life that exists on the face Of the earth
owe their being to the fact that the
ground is alive. You take a shovelful Of
the finest soil in the world and sterilize
it-that is, beat it till all the life in it
is destroyed-and then plant seeds in it.
No amount of care or watering will
make those seeds grow. Their life de-
ponds on the life in the soil around them.

TERMS:
A Business Question.

Before the present week closes the
Republicans of Barre and many other
towns in the second district will be call
ed upon to select delegates for the dis
trict convention which takes place at
Montpelier on the 2lst day of the pres
ent month. Two candidates will, it is
understood be presented for the nomina-
ton for Congress, One of these men is
tried and tested official. No noyice in
the position but man who for sixteen
years has been considered competent to
fill the position t. which he now seeks
a reelection. Has anything occurred
during the last two years to make him
any less competent for the position9
Have the voters come to the point where
they propose to say that for sixteen
years they have been sending an incom-
petcnt official to represent the district in
Congress? We most certainly think not.
The question of the selection of can
didate for our Representative in Con
gress should be considered as any other
business question. Here is an official,
long conspicuous member OF his party
and tested in many committees where
his ability is we'll known, against whom
no word of criticism is made. Shall he
be changed at the present time when so
many matters are under consideration
in Congress? Would any business man
who had for sixteen years had one man
in his employ make change at criti-
cal time in his affairs, just because some
other "good fellow" without experience
in the work desired the place? How
long would such business policy keep
man out of the insolvency court? How
many men would succeed by using such
tactics? That is indeed easily answer
ed. The same line of questions should
be asked by the voters who have for a
single moment thought of voting for
another and untried "oflice seeker.
We ale confident that the voters of this
city and the district will adopt the role
of the successful and wise business man
and retain competent official. Yer
mont has occupied a very creditable
position with her distinguished sons in
the present conflict, when we look at
the list of Dewey, Clark, Thurston,
Proctor and Congressman Grout, who is
one of the members of the committee on
Expenditures of the War Department,
which at the present time is one of the
most important committees of any in
Congress. With these facts to remcm-
Der, the voters of Barre and the county
and the district will treat the whole
matter as business question and re-
nominate and re-elect Congressman
William w. Grout.

A few days ago young medical stu

man of highly respectable appearance.
They both stood transfxed. The Same
idea flashed across both of them.
"Your face is familiar to me-very
familiar, but l can't remember where
we have met so often."
However, tho friendly impulse was
carried out. They shook hands warmly,
partook of friendly glass and departed,
still ignorant of each others name and
occupation.
But the young man was determined
to solve the problem, and be seized Oh q

Floating UD q River.

1t was q vexed question in 1890
whether tho Pilcomayo river, which
flows for hundreds of miles from the
Bolivian Andes to the Paraguay, might
be used as commercial highway from
Bolivia to the ocean. Our countryman,
Captain Page, settled this question SO
conclusively that no further effort to
utilize the Pilcomayo is likely to be
made, and in this work, that cost him
his life, for he died of his privations
after being hcmmed in for months by
hostile Indians, he devised a plan for
steaming up river when the water was
so low that his vessel was stuck in the
mud. He was determined to 60 still
farther, though his little steamer,
which drew only Is inches, rested on
the river bottom, so behind the boat he
threw up an embankment of earth clear
across the channel, backed it with palm
trunks and brushwCod, and before long
the water had risen a couple Of feet,
and the little Bolivia was able to go on
her way four miles before she stuck
again. Then another dam was built,
and this process was repeated seven
times, and with the aid of the dams the
vessel advanced about 30 miles above
the highest point she could reach at the
natural low water stage.-Harper's

The Place yeudome In Paris.

Tho Paris correspondent of London
paper says that, though always stately
and imposing, the Place Vendomo is by
no means lively part of Paris. 1t has
retained through long years the char
acteristics for which it was noted in the
reign of the grand monarquc, Louis
XIV for whom it was planned and laid
out. OF late a few good shops have ap-
peared here and there among the houses
Oh tho place, and it is proposed to add
to the number Of these business estab.
lishments. Hence in q comparatively
brief space Of time the buildings around
Napoleon's column will be brilliantly
diversified, and stately monotony will
disappear. The Place Vendome may in

wrestling With the Gar.

One of the stories Of Peter the 1reae
heard in St. Petersburg is OF the great
cars wrestling match with young
dragon. u
Once in the imperial palace, SO the
story goes, Peter was at table Win d
great many princes and noblemen' ana
soldiers were posted within the nall.
The car was in joyous mood, and, rls'
ing. called out to the company:
"Listen, princes and boyars. Is there
among you one who will wrestle Win
me to pass the time and amuse the
czar?"
There was no reply, and the car re-
peated his challenge. No prince or no.
bleman dared wrestle with his sover-
eign. But all at once a young dragon
stppned out from the ranks OF tho SOL
diers on guard. ~,
"Listen, Orthodox car, T." he said, II
will wrcstlo with thee. y
"Well, young dragon" said Peter
II will wrestle with thee, but on these
conditions: If thou throwest me, Will
pardon thee, but if thou art thrown
thou shalt be boheaded. Wilt thou
wrestle on those conditions?"
IL will, great czar, " said the soldier.
They closed, and presently the SOL
dier, with his left arm, threw the car,
and with his right he prevented him
from falling to the ground. The sover-
eign was clearly beaten.
Somewhat in the spirit of Herod, the
car offered the soldier whatever reward
he should claim, and the soldier igno-
bly, claimed the privilege of drinking
free as long as he lived in all the inns
belonging to the crown. Youths Com

Tennyson's Slip.

Lord Tennvson is in his "Life" (vol-
ume 2, page 14) reported to have said:
"I never put two SIS together IN any
verse Of mine. My line is not, as often
quoted:
"And freedom broadens slowly down,
but:
"Aud freedom slowly broadens down"
On reading this opened my Tennyson
casually, and the first piece | saw was
"Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere, -
which contains four instances OF the
double s-namely:
Sometimes the linnet piped his song.
She seemed a part Of joyous spring
AS she fled.
AS she swayed.
The next piece is "The Farewell, y
which has the line:
No more by thee my steps shall be.
The next piece is "The Beggar Maid"
which has the consecutive lines:
As shines tho moon in clouded skies,
She in her poor attire was seen.
Thinking that perhaps Lord Tennyson
referred to his blank verse, turned to
the dedication of the Idylls," in
which l find these two lines:
Or how should England, dreaming of his sons,
and
Till Gods love set thee at his side again.
