Its Great Variety OF House

No product OF petroleum has greater
variety OF household uses than refined
parafIine. This is because 1t excels any
other known product in the ideal quail

price
AS housekeepers become acquainted
with its virtues they find that nothing
else is as clean, or as pure, or as taste
less, or as odorless. Moreover it is not
affected by air, acid or water.
Prominent among the many uses to
which it is now applied are, for sealing
cans in preserving fruits and jellles, in
laundry, by rubbing on irons and mix
ing with hot starch, for coating wooden
vessels, preserving eggs, flowers and
autumn leaves, for polishing floors and
making wax flowers.
In sealing cans the paraffine wax
should be melted and layer about one
eighth OF an inch thick poured oyer
the top of the preserve, allowing it 10
stand until the paraffine becomes hard,
when it will form sealing absolutely
air tight. No other covering is neces-
sary. When the preserve is to be used
the paraffIne should be loosened, by
running knife around the edge, after
which the wax can be easily removed.
Jellles and fruits sealed in this manner
retain their natural delicious fiavors
and are eifectually protected against
mold and insects.
In sealing bottles the cork should be
forced into the neck of the bottle in or
der TO form shallow cup with melted
parafiine allowing it to harden.
In the laundry about one-half tea
cup OF paratline shavings put into a
boiler of hot water gives dainty white
ness to the linen aud other wash fabrics

can be done in about one-half the usual
time, and it saves ythe necessity of

The Honorable Y. G. Klnne. Chair
man of the Board OF Control of State
Institutions for Iowa. will contribute a
special article 70 The World Review of
April 20 ON the subject "Non-partisan
Control OF State Institutions" Mr..
Kinne's contribution will he the feature
OF the issue. and deservedly so, because
OF the experience which ne has gained
in the servica OF the state and the un-
comprom sing position which he takes
in favor of the unfinching statutory
civil service control OF all employees
supervised by the Iowa State Board.
There Can be 40 doubt IN the public
mind as TO tho necessity tor general
action in ali the states along the lines
laid down by him; for it is regarded as
a settled fact that political pressure, as
it is always eXerted whenever possible,
is as injurious To the best interests oil
the various institutions as it is expen-
sive to the state. Iowa has been re-
lieved OF such obnoxious influence for
nearly three years, and such marked
success has attended the change that
Minnesota has recently decided by leg
islative act to adopt the same course.

A Missouri girls life was sayed by
her hustle. Corset stays have turned
bullets, long skirts have preuented dog
bites and hat-pins have been used with
deadly effect, while the broom handle
and rolling pin have been made famous
for their effectiveness. Yet one still
hears OF ''defenseless womenn and q
demand for rights" Cygnet Review
Brother Crouch gives considerable
information in the above item, but
does not state how he happens to know
so much, nor does he state just how the
the hustle saved the Missouri girl
Perhaps, as it was made of rubber, she
fell from ten story window--the bus
tie saved her; or perhaps she was cross
ing a meadow and met very angr,
male Sheppard the hustle saved her
or perhaps she fell in the river-ant
the inflated bustle saved ne.; or per
haps she slipped down on upon the side
walk just over a large nail-and the
hustle saved her; or perhaps, well
there are SO many things that nigh
have happened. that we wish Bro
Crouch would explain his item.

A Philadelphia paper reports very
strange accident that recently hap

ing on the sidewalk when blind man
came along, guiding himself with a
heavy walking stick. A swing of the
cane struck the child on the forehead
and he fell down cellarway, sustain
ing concussion of the brain and dying

blind man had passed out of sight,
doubtless unaware of the tragedy in
which he bore blameless part.

In view OF the recent, almost absolute
proof that malaria is chiefly, II not al
together. carried by mosquitoes, and in
view of the ease with which these pests
can be exterminated in most local
flies, there is little excuse for anyone
continuing to suffer from them. Drain
age is, of course, the best means, but
where this is impossible, treating ponds
with few cents worth OF kerosene or
stocking them with fish where kerosene
cannot be used on account OF cattle is
almost as sure. Recent experiments
On rather large scale have practically
cleared large areas on the northern
chores OF Long Island, long famous for
it, mosquitoes. Very large experiments
az the same time are going on In Cuba,

General Wood having placed the re-

While blowing in one OF Uncle Billy
Dunipace's fields, a few days ago, Ben
Stone uuearthed an old hint-lock pistol.
As soon as uncovered, the stock crum-
bled to dust, but the barrels, which are
made OF brass, are in an excellent state
of preservation and almost free from
rust. The hammer, which is raised, is
nearly eaten off by rust and decay. A
small piece of flint was found with 1t.
The barrels are placed one above the
other, and the question which puzzles
those who have it, is how the lower
barrel was discharged. Mr.. Dunipace
is OF the opinion the weapon was car
ried by one Of the soldiers in Harrison's
army, as ''Harrison's trail' was only a
half mile from the place whore the
pistol was found. 1t is certainly val
liable relic and is in strange contrast
with the modern weapons OF warfare OF
to.day.-Pemberville Leader.

An exchange that probably has rea-
son to give its readers n hint on their
duty, says: The way to build up a town
is to stand by every man in the place
who tries to push business. Whenever
u man is doing we'll DO not tear him
down. All residents should be part
ners not opponents. In all Likelihood
the more business others do the more
you will do. Every business man who
treats his customers fairly will get his
share Of The trade. When town stors
growing it will die. IF you can't boost
don't knock"

Secretary Long has cabled to Ad-
miral Remey, in command of the Phil
ippipe fleet. to enlist, II he thinks fit,
500 Filippinos as firemen on the smaller
United States vessels. Service in the
fire rooms OF warships is extremely de-
bilitatlng to white men, particularly in
the tropics, and it is believed that the
acclimated natives can serve in that
capacity with less disastrous results to
their health. No difficulty is anticipa-
ted in getting the men.

Tho rural free delivery system, so

greatly extended, about 1000 new

grant, instead of being behind it, as
thgY are now. Some communities act
ulily seem reluctant to have their mail,

RECEIVES REPORT
OF THE MANAGER
Stockholders Kihei Plantation
Co. Meet and Elect
Officers.

Stockholders of the Kihei Plantation
Company held their annual meeting yes
terday morning at 10 O'Clock in the rooms
of the Chamber of Commerce President
II. P. Baldwin, who returned to Homo
lulu from San Francisco on the Sonoma,
occupied the chair, with W. 0. Smith as
temporary secretary. Shares TO the ex-
tent of 900 out OF a total of $1,000 We're
represented either in person or by proxy.
The managers report, which was pre-
scented, caused President Baldwin to re-
mark that as he had been absent from
the Islands for the last two months, he
was not familiar with the present condi-
ton of the cane crop, and he did not feel
justified in accepting the report until he
could make personal investigation of
the plantation After a cursory glance
over the managers report, he stated
that there were certain features in it
which demanded his attention. The pres
ident read extracts of the report. One
of them was to the effect that the daily
output of water was 20,000000 gallons.
Lack of labor was commented upon. 1t
was stated officially at the meeting that
cane was now being groundl Weekly

DR.. CHAPMAN Is
TO PREACH HERE
Cal fornia Anti-saloon League
Secretary Now In
Honolulu.

DR.. E. S. Chapman, editor of the Oak
fornia State Anti-Saloon League, and a
well-known temperance agitator, arriv-
ed in Honolulu on the Sonoma and,
though his purpose in visiting the ISL
ands was TO seek rest and recreation, he
has been prevailed on to take up the tenn
Murphy. He will assist Miss Alderman
and Miss Murcutt in the few weeks he is
TO remain in the City.
DR.. Chapman is accompanied by Mrs.
Chapman and intends to remain for a
period of some six weeks. He will not
wage incessant war against the saloon,
as he has come to Honolulu TO get away
from his work, but he will preach sever
al sermons, the first being announced for
next Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock in
Central Union Church, instead of the reg
ular sermon of Rev. Mr.. Kincaid.
Mr.. Chapman said last night he was
ready to strike a blow at the saloon evil
whenever opportunity presented itself,
and that he would strike a few blows
for the benefit of Honolulu. Speaking of
Mr.. Murphy's crusade and the difference
in their methods of temperance work,
he said, Mr.. Murphy and myself are
both laboring for the same object, but We
labor in different fields. He seeks to cure
the snake-bite and l am trying to kill the
snake" This expresses the temperance
agitator's attitude toward the saloon. Mr..
Chapman also said that he proposed to
let the temperance excitement die down
somewhat before taking up the question,
as he believed it would be more effect
ual.

of attention in the matter of temperance
reform Miss Alderman, Miss Murcutt,
Mr.. Murphy and Dr. Chapman are all

agitators and Mr.. Wooley, of Chicago,
