The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incen-
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
80 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 wall.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers

They are
Reliable.

Saturday evening, January 20, a
party of eight left the city for trip
around the Islands on bicycles. The
list was made up of some of the lead
ing wheels represented here, among
them '97 Overland Special, which Is
handled here by the HONOLULU b.
CYCLE COMPANY. The Overland was
the Only Wheel in the Lot which
made the round trip without trouble
of any kind. OVERLANDS are the
kind Of wheels that take you Away
from home and Bring You Back Again.
BY the last Australia we received a
few samples of the '9S OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '97
product as daylight is superior to
darkness, and are without exception
the most beautiful models, and the
highest grade wheels ever shown here
for anything near the rice which we
shall sell them-$65. We defy all COM
petition, even at a much higher fg-
ure.

New Uses of Aluminium.

Aluminium has lately found its way
extensively into vibrating and recipro-
eating machines, both large and small,
says the Engineering and Mining
journal. Here the advantageous Lse
of the metal is entirely q matter OF re-
ducing the weight. Probably the best
Illustration of the use of aluminium in
revolving machinery is in using an oil
cup on the driving-wheel Of loco
motive in connection with driving
rod. With the increased speeds that
the roads are now aiming 10 attain, il
is necessary to increase the diameter
of the driving-wheels. and consequent
ly the tendency TO break the shank of
the oil cups materially increases, and

Snfety Paper.

A new kind of safety paper for
banks. &c, is announced, though the
inventors name does not appear. 1t
is a foreign idea, one feature of the
invention consisting in printing or
otherwise impressing on the paper en-
ployed a plurality of sets of lines Or
marks, one or more of which sets are
indelible and the remaining sets DEL
ible; these lines or marks are made so
fine and so closely alternating or rela-
lively disposed that, in ordinary OBJ
servation with the naked eye, no sim
gle line or mark is distinguishable.
Again, the indelible lines or marks are
made of color differing from though
Complementary. to that of the delible
lines or marks, SO that, owing TO their
close iuxtaposition, they will convey
the impression of color differing from
those of either of the sets of lines or
marks. Thus, any chemical action
or erasure on such paper would, it is
claimed be at once discernible, and the
shade made by the two color combi-
nations would be hard to duplicate.

On the battlefield.

For absolute disregard to wounds no
soldier can rival the Turk. His abste-
mious life (for your Turk will not
touch intoxicants, and eats very spar
ingly of meat) makes him proof against
wounds which would be fatal to most
Englishmen
During the recent Graeco-Turkish
war one brave Turk. who was shot
completely through both legs and one
arm, fought valiantly for twenty-four
hours after he received his wounds;
and then it was only by force that he
was carried off to the hospital. An
other Turk who received a bullet in
his abdomen fought on until the bat
tie was ended, and marched a distance
Of ten miles before he even reported
his wound.

1t is proposed In Germany that the
various expeditions expected shortly to
visit the antarctic regions should carry
with them scientific kites, by means Of
which the upper atmosphere may be
explored. In this way, it is thought,
not only could the temperature prevail
ing at great height around the poles
be more accurately learned, but light
would also be thrown on the direction
of the air-currents, and if Photographic
apparatus were sent up with the kites,
additional knowledge Of the parts of
the surface not otherwise obtainable
might result.

Memory Rings.

Memory rings are the latest They
are designed especially for the use Of
the absent-mnded woman, a1ld for the
man who ties bits o. string around his
finger to remind himself Of his wife's
theatre ticket. OF his sisters bicycle
lamp or OF his engagement to take Miss
smith to the Wagncrian recital
In appearance the memory ring
strongly resembles its first cousin, the
key ring. 1t is made of gold or silver
and its usual form is circle about
three inches in circumference.
For every item that one wishes to
remember, a charm is placed on the
ring.
Tiny silver pigs. turtles. cats and
rabbits, frogs and lizards, an elephant
holding a wee green enameled sham
rock in its trunk, silver sleighbells
golden leurs-de-lis and miniature
books, bird cages and flags, all stand
or dangle-for something which the
memory rings owner particularly
wishes not to forget.

American lanterns are exported to

American lanterns are exported to
all the countries OF the world where
lanterns are used. Many are sent to
South Africa and to South America,
to Australia and New Zealand, and
some are sold in Asia. Few, proper
tionately, are sent TO Europe.
Kerosene oil is now commonly burn
ed in lanterns all over the world. There
are no lanterns made nowadays for
candles only, but there are exported TO
South America some lanterns made so
that either candles or oil may be burn
ed in them These are provided with
a candle socket, which may be set
down into the oil reservoir, the wick
holder having been removed. By re-
moving the candle socket and screwing
in the wick holder the lantern is made
ready to burn oil. Excepting railroad
and other lanterns for special uses,
substantially all the lanterns made
nowadays are of the kind known as
tubular, first introduced about thirty
years ago, and now made in various
notifications as to detail, the tubular
part of the lantern being designed with
view to producing better combustion
and brighter light. The lanterns
made for ordinary uses are produced
in about forty styles.
The American lanterns are the light
est, the sightliest in appearance and the
best adapted to their use, and they
are sold cheaper than lanterns of equal
quality produced elsewhere. There are
large establishments In this country
making lanterns only. 1t is probable
that more lanterns are now exported
from this country than from either
England or Germany, and the exports
OF american lanterns are increasing.

CHILD'S DAILY DIET.
Mrs. Rorer Describes the Best ant
Most Wholesome Foods for Break
fast, Dinner and supper.

Mrs. S. 7. Rorer, writing on The
Best Food for Growing Child" in the
Ladies' Home Journal, says: a child
must nave in its active life at least two
thirds carbonaceous foods and one
third heterogeneous or fiesh-building
foods. For breakfast he may have first
a well-baked or steamed apple, little
apple sauce, a ripe peach or some grapes.
followed by well-cooked cereal with
milk, after which soft-boiled egg,
small bit of broiied white-fish, a little
broiled sweetbread, a piece of broiled
chicken, or he may take simply a bowl
of oatmeal or wheat preparation, and a
slice of well-toasted whole wheat bread.
For dinner CLEAR soup, followed by
red meat, either beef or mutton,
broiled, boiled or roasted, or any of the
wild meats, with one starchy vegetable
such as rice, potato or stewed Hlacaroni.
and one green vegeta BILE simply cooked.
such as spinach, cauliflower, asparagus.
lettuce, cress. celery, well-cooked GU
cumber, carefully stewed turnip or
well-boiled radish, over which is poured
little cream sauce, giving the
required fatty matter. Next comes
the dessert. Such things as rice pud'
ding, cup custarG, caramel custard,
mock charlotte, floating island, rice
dumplings and boiled rice and milk, Oh
moulded wheatlet with whipped cream.
and moulded rice with whipped cream
may be used. Water not iced should
be the accompanying beverage.
Supper may consist of bread, thor
oughly baked, with either butter or
milk, or corDmeal mush and milk. mush
bread, bread sticks and chicken broth.
Milk is, however, the better liquid food
for the child's night meal. A child who
is fed properly, and is well b;thed and
comfortably clothed, will eat well,

Ruts and Mud Holes.

The only difficulty in the way of hay-
ing good dirt roads all the time is to
keep out the water. II is, first. the mar
row-tired wagons and then water that
makes ruts and mud holes. If broad
tired wagons were used and the water
not permitted to run along the roadway
or stand on the surface, there will be no
ruts or mud holes. How can these evils
be prevented? By having the road prop
erly drained and graded with ma
chine, permitting only wide tires on
heavy wagons, then by constant work
and watch, every day in the yea-, rainy
days most of all, prevent the forming
of ruts and the beginning of mud holes
Such means and method will make good
roads most of the time, and at mini
mum cost.-Rural World.
