sure of WATER,

Sir Joseph prcstwich had bought In
1864 small estate near Seycnoaks, on
which he built n residence, but 1t was
high up on n dry and trceless chalk
down. Where was water to be found?
$50 confident was prestwlch In re
spect of water supply That he Mt once
engaged an old well digger to sink II
well 16a feet deep. The boring pro
cceded. but when n depth of 1876 feet
was reached the two workmen went to
the city and sought an interview with
their employer, whom they found at
his desk. They explained that there
was no sign of water and that In their
opinion it was useless to bore to IL
greater depth. Go on was the quiet
reJoinder. you will come upon water to
morrow. You are within two feet of
it.
Next day It proved exactly as Prest-
witch had foretold. And ever after,
among many of the denlzens of the val
ley, he had the reputation, much to
his amusement, OF not being quite
'canny.' Life and Letters Of Sir Jo-

that Hawaii is to be admitted as ter

with the Administration to provide us
with competent officials and sound To-

a state of awkward suspense and de-
velopment of the Islands is being ser-
ously retarded by the sluggish action
of Congress. We have practically pass
ed under the control of the United
States, but no steps have been taken
to establish a government. The terms
of office of the present Executive and
his advisers will soon expire, and in
the present condition we cannot legally
elect their successors, nor can we retain
the present incumbents in office.

public moneys boarded in the Treasury
We cannot legally spend a cent upon
necessary public improvements, nor
appropriate a dollar for any purpose

in Island affairs, preferably a resident

which the judiciary can be chosen.

BRILLIANT ENDORSEMENT.
BY Health Journal of New York, Aug
ust "a, 1897. A. Davis, Md, Editor
and Manager.

Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in it's use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior
excellence is a very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases of
debiltation, and they can safely order
his beer, made by the Capital Brewing
company.
L. H. Dee has in his keeping the
american Journal of Health and can
be seen by anyone.
This beer can be had in bottle or on
draught at the HOFFMAN, corner of
Hotel and Nuuanu streets. A large as
Bortment of the very best of American
and foreign liquors we are pleased to
sell you and give you value for the
Nnefit of your health

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SEVERED.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and use
only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlains Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to ne reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is nothing
equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
