LIVELY CHRISTMAS
EVE ON The STREETS

A good pen and ink artist could have
made a picture last night that such
periodicals as Harpers Weekly and Col
liers would buy, to illustrate Christ
mas Eve in the Tropics. Honolulu
motley population turned itself into
Fort street en-maSSe and the scene, |
even to the accustomed eyes of the
white resident, was most picturesque
It was such spectacle as Honolulu
witnesses but once a year.
OF course the native was out in force,
the wahine in particular. Spacious and
comfortable in her holoku, that lineal
descendant of the New England night
gown which the missionary women
hastily thrust upon their first native
female visitors, she wandered from
store to store looking in the show
windows. Always she wore a beautlful
lei. Groups of Chinese were to be seen,
the old ones looking stolidly at the
sights and the youngsters in cutaway
coats and high collars, swapping torpe-
does on the sidewalks; and as for the
little chaps they We're so bundled up
in f1nery that they could scarcely tod
die. The rest, Portuguese and Porto
Rican, japanese in their national dress
and seamen from the naval fleet, and
all classes and conditions of white mea
and women, jostled good-naturedly on
the sidewalks and bought freely at the
stores. Every sort of footing thing was
blown. the talking machines were all
at work and firecrackers went off
surreptitiously. The soda fountains and
saloons did a lively trade and the
candy, cigar and toy stores were not
neglected. The open cars of the cleo
trio line ran full. Not until midnight
did the street noises begin to abate.

CURIOUS THINGS.
Come From Coffee Drinking.

A ladv in New York City suffered an
accident to her leg and a running sore
followed that medical science tried to cure
for many years, but unknown to her, the
coffee she drank daily kept the blood III a
condition that would not let the sore heal.
Three years ago, says this lady, Il was
advised to drink Postum and give up cot
fee of which / was very fond. To say that
l am thankful now for having done this
is putting it very mildly for as soon as I
made the shift from coffee to Postum my
leg began to heal and in a few weeks was
quite we'll

think it marvellous. Neither have I suf-
fered from the bilious headaches which
used to affiict me. l can give you the
names of many OF my friends who are as
firm friends of Postum as l." Name given
by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.
This is a case where Postum made red
blood in a hurry. This lady thought it
marvellous because her trouble for years
standing was cured in a few weeks through
giving up coffee and using Postum in its
place. Nothing marvellous about it, only
the simplest scientific reasons that it will
