HAS Tucked FIVE CENTURIES
Famous Old Clock In Rouen Has Kept
Time for $40 Years.

Time for $40 Years.
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.
Rouen, one Of the principal cities of
France. and the greatest seat of its
cotton manufacture, possesses the old
est public clocks in the world. The
great Rouen clock has held its place
In that city for $40 years and is the
pride Of It's citizens. Placed in 1889,
1t has been running without Interrupt
ton, from that day to this, requiring
nothing except cleaning and few
trihing repairs Of its accessory parts.
The great clock has SO accustomed
the citizens to look upon its exacti-
tude as a matter of course that when,
In 1879, the breaking of a wire pre-
vent its sounding 8 o'clock one morn
Ing, the population was in a state of
CONSERVATION. The magistrates sum-
mOned the ustodian-Guillaume Pc
tit-and demonstrated gravely with
him. Until 1712 the great clock had
no pendulum. For 1923 years It had
no other regulator than "foliot," an
appartus unknown to the majority of
modern clock makers. The pendulum
In clock work was introduced in 1859,
but so well satisfied were the people
of Rouen with the time keeping quail
tiles of their famous old clock that
ifty-three years were allowed to pass
before pendulum was substituted for
the "foliot." Equipped with this new
apparatus 1t has continued to this day
to strike the hours and chime the
Ouarters

Summer shelter and Shade For Hogs.

Summer Shelter and Shade For Hogs.
BY far too many farmers follow the
plan of not providing any shelter for
their hogs while at pasture, but force
them to root up space in fence cor
ner or some other equally undesirable
place in their attempt to escape the
direct rays of the sun or pelting
storms. While they can and do stand
the heat and the chilly storms it is nj
the expense and loss of the owner.
By providing even cheap and tenn.
porary shelter much will be saved and
comfort assured to these animals.
In Fig. l. is shown a cheap shelter,

stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.

taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants. by method

THE UNION BARBER SHOP
FRANK PACHECo's UP-TO-DATE
ENTERPRISE.
Threw open It's Doors This Morning to
the Publican Ideal Place-History
of the Shop.

Frank Pacheco is "at il" again. In
the past few years this man has intro
duced so many new ideas and improve
ments in the tonsorial line of business
that ii has kept some of his competitors
hustling to keep up.
This morning the new Union barber
shop threw open its doors. An addition
of several feet has been built on to the
old shop and the whole place has been
renovated inside and out. For the
convenience of customers a second en-
trance has been opened on the King
street side. This connects by a neat
stairway with the Republic alleyway.
The shop was fixed up by Mr.. Pache-
co to meet not only his own views but
also those of Mr.. Cunha, who is the
landlord, and is besides a man partic-
ular to have everything first class and
up-to-date about him.
In the shop are three chairs today
and the fourth will arrive by the Ala
media. Frank Pacheco, Joseph Pacheco
and Mr.. Pimentel are the BARRIERS now
at work. The fourth one will arrive by
the Alameda. All of these men are
known and recognized as among the
best men in their line on the Pacific.
The interior of the shop is fitted in
the finest and prittiest sore of a way.
and at great cost All the cases for
cups, raZors, etc, are of costly carved
d.
They are especially imported for the
shop. Levers & Cooke put in the hand
some inlaid wood floor. An expert with
corps of assistants were engaged for
weeks upon it,
The enlargement of the shop gives
for the first time ample room within it,
Customers who may have to wait in
rush times will find chairs for their
use and plenty of elbow space. There
are also back of the row of tonsorial
chairs, bathing apparatus, tables of
papers, etc.
The shop is lighted by electricity and
at night will be nearly as bright as day.
over the chairs are two large chande-
liers. Between the mirrors and at va
rlous points in the room are strong in
candescents with soft shades. Between
the chandeliers above referred to will
appear large electric fans, of sufficient
power to cool the entire room. This
VIII be an important adjunct of the
place.
The Union is the third triumph of
Mr.. Pacheco in the line of barber
shops. AT the Criterion he set the pace
for new idea. BY bold stroke and
a considerable outlay he there brought
the Honolulu shop up from a back
country arrangement to a finely fur
nlshed and well regulated city enter
prise.
His next venture was the Silent bar
Der shop on Hotel street which repre-
sentS Mr.. Pacheco's fuller ideas. In
the present enterprise the hustler" has
reached the ideal toward which he has
been working In it is shown the fully
up-to-date establishment; the complete
and perfect barber shop, as they now
have them in the big cities of the Unit
ed States and Europe.

THE TELEPHONE.
English and Japanese were the First
Languages Transmitted.

An interesting fact was stated by
PROFESSOR Bell in late lecture. When
ne was experimenting in Boston with
his telephone, in 1876 Izawa Shuji came
to see him. After showing Mr. lava
what his instrument could do in the
way of transmitting messages in Eng
lish, the professor suggested that Mr..
lzawa should test its powers as a me-
dunn OF communication in Japanese.
Messrs. Komura Jutaro and Takamine
Hideo were in America at the time, and
Mr. lava at once put himself into
communication with them, and the
three together thoroughly tested the
new instrument as regards japanese.
So that it turned out that with the ex-
ception of English, Japanese was the
first of all languages of the world to be
transmitted through this wonderful
medium.

Thousands of these people say Hoods

The testimonials of cures by Hcpd's

These cures often seem marveious, y~e

Pure blood is the foundation of health.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the One True Hood
Purifier and cures disease by purifying

1t possesses peculiar curative power,
that is, it cures when other medicines
cannot cure, because it is peculiar in COM

That is all there is to be explained sbouS
