TOURIST TRAVEL.

Every effort should be made during
the coming year to attract tourists to
the Islands The time is ripe for a
strong effort in this direction. Our
hotel accommodations are larger and
better than they were some years ago
our markets are better supplied. What
we cannot get from local sources we
can obain from the coast by means of
cold storage steamers. There is there
fore always an ample supply of every
thing that is needed on hand.
One thing, however, will have to be
changed, if we are to attract travel, and
that is the length of time occupied in
running between Honolulu and Hilo
when carrying Volcano passengers. 1t
is a matter for the local steamship COM
panies to consider. The trip with tou-
rist passengers on board should be made
direct to Hilo without any stoppage for
landing freight or taking in pigs and
corn as is now the case at half dozen
ports along the route. Considerable
harm has been done by subjecting tour
lists to this Inconvenience. There is
hardly a book descriptive of a visit to
ahe Islands which does not devote a
chapter to the seasickness and deten~
ton in getting to the destination from
Honolulu to Hilo,
OF course this could be remedied. At
first it might not be profitable but in
the end it would be. 1t pays to make
the tourist comfortable as it pays on tn
mainland to make the ordinary passen-
ger comfortable. These companies vie
with one another, and the one which
presents the best accommodation gets
the best of the passenger traffic.
Having made all arrangements for
The comfort of the tourist, there should
be lavish advertising all over the main
land. Every city on the mainland which
desires to attract tourists advertises
freely, and keeps itself constantly be-
fore the public in every railway train,
in every steamship and in every hotel.
1t is to the interest of every one to con-
tribute to this advertising. Some day
our people will wake up to it.

The labor problem is gradually solv-
ing as The Star always predicted it
would. That there would be a period
of friction any one could foresee, but
that fertile Islands such as these. with
the capital that they can command,
the free market now open to them,
without fear of tariff troubles. and with
the mercantile protection of one of the
greatest of Wort, nowers. should come
to ruin was plainly impossible. The
era of Hawaiian prosperitv is merely
dawning. The fU" fruition our sons
and our sons son for many genera
tions will see. The only cloud lies in
the Far East should the giant break
forth. But the triumph of Western
civilization is certain.

The importation of eggs in mud from
China is very reprehensible practice
and should be prevented. There is
nothing so likely to bring in disease
as this germ impregnated filth from
the shallow wallows around Canton and
other cities. The Board Of Health
ought decidedly to take a hand in this
matter investigate it and put sum
mary stop to the practice. John will
have to eat eggs from the cold storage
of the mainland, raise more chickens
and ducks or go without. If he wants
mud about his eggs he must content
himself with what he collects on the
Islands, there are some especially mall
odorOus kinds to be found in the vicini-
ty of Honolulu.

HAWAIIAN TYPES.

his art among our institutions notably
at Kamehameha where he did consid-
cradle work, among the number a
bust of c. r. Bishop. During his stay
here Mr. Hutchinson made a large
number Of studies of Hawaiian types,
which were of the highest merit and
of great value. Recent papers from

The SuIlsy Corner.

The sulky Cc"uer is a feature of some
Of the up to date wOmen,S clubs. 1t
has been claimed with justice that wo-
men could not be quiet in their clubs,
that if a woman tried to sit still and
take no notice of her sister members
she was an object of commiseration
or of suspicion and was either res
cued" or forced out Of her isolation.
The sulky corner-often whole
room-is for the benefit of those women
who wish to be let alone. Any one re-
firing to such a corner must not be
spoken to, and no one must occupy
the corner and from it invite converse
ton. Here the woman who likes to
be still and either watch others or
dream them into unreality may find
peace. An increasing demand for
chairs in the sulky corner is reported.
The club of any pretensions keeps
a maid always in attendance, and the
maid is supposed to be ready to fasten
on a button, mend a glove or catch
a slipped skirt binding. Many women
whose business or pleasure takes them
much from home belong to club
merely for the privilege of running in
for repairs" including sometimes cup
of tea. This shows that women are
learning to make the club matter of
comfort and convenience and less a
:c1cce for gossip, display and strenuous
social effort

Sunny Rooms.

1t Is said to be true that in all hospi
tails those rooms facing the sun have
fewer deaths, other things being equal,
than those which are on the shady side
Of the house. Likewise statistics, where
they have been kept, prove that the av-
erage time for recovery is much less
In sunny room than in shady one.
From these facts and from the fact
that the tendency toward illness has
proved greater on the shady side of
buildings, like prisons and asylums, it
follows that light is second only in i'm
portance to fresh air. A dark room is
nearly but not quite SO bad as a close
room. In the case of sickness the sick
room should be the sunniest one the
house affords.

SIDE TRIPS.
He Meant to Be Polite.

During the visit of the Princess Of
Wales to the London hospital n little
blind boy in one of the wards was
sitting on a chair, and the princess
spoke to him. The chairman of the
hospital, thinking 1t would be nice
for the lad to know who had been
speaking to him, said: That lady who
has been speaking to you is the Prin-
cess of Wales. Would you like to come
up and make your bow to her and
speak to herr"
The boy was delighted and jumped
off his chair. He was led up to the
princess, and she was told of his wish,
to which she very readily acceded.
The bow was duly made and then
came the speech, How are you, missF'
"a speech which was hardly expected,
but which was answered by five min
utes' conversation, and the boy return
ed to his chair, proud and happy.

HIGHWAYS OF CUBA.
improvements Made Since the Amer
lean Occupation.

lean OccupatiOn
Senior Villalon, secretary of public
works, in his annual report shows that
during the Spanish regime only 2I5
kilometers of public roads were built,
mostly In Havana province. There
are now 440 kilOmeters in course of
construction, 492 kilometers have been
surveyed, and 1,347 kilometers are
projected. All this has been done in
less than two years of American occu-
patton. The estimated cost of all these
road improvements IS 13,626, 600. The
CARRYING out of the work Will be eX-
tended over a number of years. An
office has been established in each
province, with an engineer in charge.
In making the plans for a road sys'
tenn the most important localities are
considered. The work is necessarily
slow owing to the lack of funds. New
ertheless each piece of road construct
ed forms part of an entire plan, which
will be consummated in time. This
plan provides for a main trunk road
the entire length of the island, with
branch roads connecting with the prin'
cipal coast towns. This will allow
planters and others to reach the ports
with their products without being com
pelled to have recourse to the railroads
and will undoubtedly in time result in
a very material reduction in the pres
ent high railway tariffs.
Some valuable lands will soon be
opened up owing to the roads now be
ing constructed. The secretary of pub,
lie works is overwhelmed with peti-
tions for the construction of highways.
Roads will be first built in the districts
where the greatest number of people
will be benefited.

A lazy liver may be only a tired liver
OF starved liver A stick is all right
for the back of lazy man But it
would be a savage as well as a stupid
thing to beat weary man or a starv-
ing man because he Jagged in his work
So in treating the tagging liver it is a
great mistake to lash it with drastic
drugs. In ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred torpid or sluggish liver is but
a symptom of an ill-nourished body,
whose organs are weary with overwC rk.
Let your liver alone. Start with the
stomach and its allied organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. Put them in proper
working order, and see how quickly your
liver will become active and energetic.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of
liver trouble, by its wonderful CON
troll of the organs of digestion and nutri-
ton. 1t restores the normal activity of
the stomach, increases the secretions Of
the blood making glands, cleanses the
system from poisonous accumulations
and so relieves the liver of the burdens
imposed upon it by the detection Of
other organs.

Speaking of the late William Travers
leads me to remark that, so far as |
am personally aware, only one of the
classic suffering stories about him is
actually true. l had the honor and
happiness to reside at Newport for a
year or so once, and at the time Mr..
Travers was a summer resident there.
He certainly suffered a good deal, but
he did not go around habitually dis
charging staccato witticisms at the
world, as you might suppose he did
from all the stories you hear. But the
one story that l know about is this
one:
Travers was at a garden party one
afternoon when young lady said to
him, "What time Is it, please, Mr..
TraversF"
Travors took out his watch, wabbled
his mouth awhile, blinked and finally
said, It'll be s-s-Ss-six o'c-c-c-c-clock
by the time can say it!'
Il really lacked five minutes Of 6

Of 10000 pounds per day. 1t is also
stated that some of the patrons fur,
Nish as high as 5000 pounds per day,
and the average is about 1000 pounds
and these amounts are produced or

rators of 400 gallons per hour capacity
each, that when necessary, can handle
