WHAT 1T WILL DO.

A woman buys a sewing ma
chine for what it will do; not as
an article of furniture. A man
carries a watch to tell him the
time; not as an investment of
surplus capital. The same prin-'
ciple when one is i'll. We want
the medicine or the treatment
which will relieve and cure. The
friend in need must be a friend
indeed, something, or somebody,
with reputation. There should
be no guesswork in treating dis
ease. People have the right to
knoaC what medicine is, and
what it will do, before they take
it. 1t must have behind it an
open record of benefit to others
for the same diseases, series
of cures that proves its merit
and inspires confidence. It is

and to equip armies with artillery. The
enterprise is a typically American one

WATER GETTING BAD

There is a great deal of sickness in
town at present due TO the quality of
the reservoir water which the droutn
has left u.s. People who use arteslan
water are safe; those who use the 9TH
or. and they are the greater number,
are in danger.
1t is not enough to filter the reser-
yoir water; it should also be boiled
that the filter will catch; but the i'm
purities in solution must have the
remedy of heat. Usually the latter are
the most deadly.
They who put their COLE faith ir-
filters take a risk in any event.
but they take double risk who have
not learned to clean a filter properly.
When a filter brick has been in ser
vice few months it has caught and
held enough impurities to poison a
well. Think of drinking water after
it had been soaked through a germ
cemetery; yet that is what good
many Honolulans are doing. They
might better take the water meat.
The thing to do is to unscrew that FL
ter brick and boil it first in milk and
then in water, after which the brick
will be as good as new.
Schools ought to be particularly
careful but they are least so. Nc
wonder so many Honolulu children are
down with bowel complaints.

Next Friday will be the anniversary of the
assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the first
martyr President of the United States. and
by a coincidence the 18th of April comes
this year upon Friday, the same day Of the
week on which J. Wilkes Booth fired the
fatal shot which shocked not only this
country. north and south, but also the en-
tire civilized world.
The sole survivors of the group of dis
tinguished Americans who were designated
to act as the official bearers of the pail of
Lincoln are Henry G. Worthington and
Alexander H. Coffroth. both at that time
members of Congress and each long and
favorably known in Washington. Each has
attained the august age of eighty years.
Mr.. Worthington, native of Cumberland.

from Nevada, and Mr.. Coffroth member Of
Congress from Pennsylvania. The former

Instances of Economy.

FROM the Los Angeles Times.
The Scottish miser who blew out the can
die that stood beside his deathbed, saying
that moonlight was good enough to die
by" had worthy rival In the economical
French officer who thus explained to
wondering Englshman how he contrived to
live upon a pension of francs week:
"See you mine friend, it is veree simple,
ven you do know it. On Sunday dine vid
one friend OF mine, and den do eat so
much dat / want no more till Wednesday,
Den. on Wednesday. do buy one great big
dish of tripe, and dat make me so sick dat
l can eat noting till Sunday again.!
Even this masterpiece of frugality, how
ever, is fairly matched by the exploit re-
corded of q rich but parsimonious English
merchant who had been ordered abroad for
the good of his health. But his health
seemed to get very little good by the
change. for he came back much worse than
he went, and was thought to be actually
dying when the ship came in sight of
Southampton. the port for which she was
bound Hearing this, the captain himself
went hastily down to see IL anything could
be done for his passenger; but the latter
(whose temper was evidently not at all i'm
proved by his approaching end) received
him very sullenly and would hardly utter a
word. At length the invalid asked
abruptly:
How much do they charge a man for
landing on this pier?''
"A penny" was the reply.
"And how much is the charge. then, for
landing a corpse?" inquired the dying man,
with undisguised eagerness.
1.-TWO shillings." answered the surprised
captain.
''Well," cried the invalid, with a burst of
righteous indignation. IF you suppose. my
friend, that I'm such a fool as to pay
shilling and Ii pence extra for dying. you're
very much mistaken! Sooner than let my
self be imposed upon to that extent, I'll re-
