The- causo is poor, thin blood
resulting in deficient vitality. To
ovcrcomo this, tho blood needs to bo
enriched and vitalized, and for this
there is no medicine in tho world
equal to Aycr's Sarsaparilla. Tho
cures it has worked, tho men, wo
men and children it has restored to
health, arc-countless in number. Ono
such experienco is related by Mr.
Robert Goodfcllow, Jlitclmm, South
Australia, as follows: "I havo used

in my family for years, and would
not bo without it. I used to sulfur
with bolls and skin eruptions,
attended with great lassitude and
general debility. In fact, I was so
ill that I could not attend to my bus
iness. IleiiiK advised to try Aycr's
Sarsaparilla I did so, and I am happy
to s.iy that tho tuedicino restored mo
to ptrfect health. I havo since used
Aycr's Sarsaparilla for my children,
in various complaints, and it lias
always proved effective. 1 can safely

Tho following article- is from
tho British Trade Roview. It con
tains food for thought for the peo
plo of nuy couutry:
Thoro is a vory wholeaomo ring
about tho rocont utternncos of Mr.
Nasmith, in his inaugural address
as President of tho Manchester
Association of Enginoors. Tak -ing
aa hi test the well-worn sub.
ject of foroign com petition, ho
dealt with the question in tonus
which cannot be too carefully read
by all interested in British trade.
Tho usually narrow and insular
prejudices with which this topic
is approached by tho mnjority of
spcnkorB who vonturu to broatho
out their airy nothings wheuovor
foroign competition is involved,
find no placo in Mr. Nasmith's
sympathies, for ho frankly declar
es that tho day has gono by for
the monopoly of uiuumuiuuiuB of
all classes to remain with any sin
gle country, and tho timo would
come whon each country would
produco that class of goods for
which, by reason of its natural re
sources and tho skill and industry
of its population, it was well fit
ted. Obvious ns tho truth of this
statement must appear to every
person who examines tho indus
trial outlook with aDy degree of
impartiality, it is nevertheless
rare to have such a frank, straight
forward avowal from a represent
ative spokesman of ono of
tho great manufacturing
associations. Such u deolura
Hon will reasonably bear tho in
terpretation that our manufactures
in tho aggregate, like othor things,
aro not exempt from tho influonces
of what is commonly termed
ovolution. In othor words, it is a
question of tho survival of tho
fittest. Tho country that has the
greatest facilities, both natural
and acquired, for producing cor
tain kinds of articles is tho couu
try that must eventually win in
tho raco of competition. It may
bo remarked that this is but a
truism, and patont to all, but it
must bo admitted that obvious
though it may bo, it is ono of
thoso points at which wo aro ac
customed to look as through a
glass darkly, fearful, it would
seem, lest we should soo the real
state of things.
That thoro is nothing for us to
lose, however, by looking at tho
facts as they are presented to us,
and without trying to gloss them,
is evident to thoso who tako a
sulliciontly comproheusivo view of
tho situation. Mr. Nasmith is
apparently of this opinion, for ho
says:
"So far as tho prospects of this
couutry wore cuuci-iueJ in the
compotitiou that would havo to bo
mot, thoro was convincing ovidenco
that avo had no enuso for sorious
ahum, although thoro was plenty
of room for mcreasod vigilance
Amongst the factors which nffect
cd tho problom before thorn were
tho economic effect of improved
appliances, tho adoption of ,tho
best commercial inothods, and tho
fullest dovolopmeut of tho skill of
thoso ongaged in tho industry,
and especially of tho loadors. It
WB8 Bearcoly necessary, in ad
dressing the Manchester Associa
tion f Enginem,, lu diiui. iiih
the offeot of improved appliances
on tho power of competition; in
all ongineoriug industries, and
mora especially iu thoso where
machines of ono class, containing
a number of Bimilar parts, woro
made in largo quantitioB, the most
complete bysteni of omploying
spocial appliances was found. Ono
direct cousequonco of tho adoption
of tho uowor methods and ap
pliances waB such a sub division
of Bomo operations as to involve a
trosli organisation of labor, and
in this way Ihoro had boon silent
ly worked a revolution which was
not always fully appreciated oven
yet. Specialisation was indeed in
the air, and although iu many do
partments of engineering it had
boon thoioughly carried out, there
woro others in which this aspect j
of tho subject whs worthy of moro j
attention, the making of machine
tools being, perhaps, tho most j
prominent of these."
Mr. Nasmith wont on to refer ,
to what ho called ono of tho sur ,
prises of tho present day viz.,
that in the very homo of tho i
modern machine tool, tiiote should
be found so many machines of i
Transatlantic origin. Indirectly
this led thn President of tho Man !
Chester Association of Eugineoi'H
to touch upon a subject that is of
vital interest not only to our own
manufacturers in Great Britain,
but to those enterprising firms
abroad who aro seeking to provide
resources on tho spot for manu
facturing thoir own requirements.
Wo rofor to tlio method or methods
iu which technical education is to
bo applied in tho future. As Mr.
Nasmith vory truly obsorves,
whatever differences of opinion
thoro may bo on othor ques
tions, thero can be nouo on the
dosirability of developing to tho
largest possible extent the skill of
thoso who aro to carry on tho in
dustrial work of the nation, but
the subdivision and organisation of
work at tho prnont day brings in
its train tho necessity for tho em
ployment of operatives whose
daily woik is tho poifoinianco of
ono spocific act, and tlio unfoitu
uato part of the matter is that this
system tends to lower tlio general
standard of skill, so that, unless
somo othor mcaim aro found, it is
likely to causo a gradual deterior
ation in tho men available when
tlio occasion calls for them. Mr.
Nasmith does not think it is at all
surprising thut itisdiilicult, if not
impossible, to got workmen now
liko thoso formorly available In
deed, tho field of selection would,
ho thought, diminish in avea, ns
Ufa specialisation of work pro
ceeded. "Tho gap thus caused could ou
ly be filled by tho adoption of
soino system of training by which
tho technology of the art was com
municated. This was, however,
difficult and thorny ground; the
words 'technical education' were
recoived oven yet amongst many
engineers, if not with open dori
siou, at least with somo veiled dis
trust. No one, howovor, who had
studied tho subject with a sincere
dosiro to know the truth could fail
to see that iu cortain departments
tho most thorough theoretical
training waB of vital importance;
but it would bo equally outside
tho mark to urge that all that was
needed for an ongiuoor lay within
tho ambit of what was commonly
called technical education. This
must always bo supplemental to,
or, perhaps bettor complomontal
of practical work in tho shop."
Returning to tho general topic
of foroign compotitiou, tho Presi
dent of tho Manchester Associa
tion of Engineers vory proporly
romiuds his colleagues, and all
whom it may coucoru, that al
though it was tho true spirit never
to undorvaluo our onemios, on tho
othor hand wo should not over
value thorn. Tho continual itora
,tiou of our inability to compote
was likely to do us soiious injury
iu tho miuds of those to whom wo
oil'orcd our goods. Tho right
courso was to ascertain whore a
possibility existed of ainoiiding
our efforts, and thou putting into
practiso tho lessons learned. To
thoso who aro disposed to tako a
pessimistic viow of tho future, tho
concluding remarks of Mr. Nas
mith on this subject may bo com
ui nded:
"No intelligent man bewailed
tho prosonce of competition.
Evon in thoso countries which
woro blessed or cursod according
to tho point of viow of the ob
server with a protective systom,
internal compotitiou was oftou a
vory hard thing to bear. All that
wo naked was that tho competition
should bo fair, and that forgod
trado marks and fraudulont imi
tations should not form part of it.
Ho was woary and disgusted with
tho peipotual lamontations of our
modem Jeremiahs, and would
liko to enter hie protest against
tho painful exhibition of faint
hearted counsols which of lato
had been so freely offered to us.
To his mind, it was bettor to bo
liovo in our capncity.and although
ho would not care to see us imi
tating the rhodoniontado of our
Amerienn cousin", that was better
than tho despairing wails in
which 6o many of our country
men rejoiced. The populace of
these little islands was the most
industrious, stiougest, and ino-it
practical in the world. Woro we
to believe that our light bunds
had lost their cunning, and, bo
cause wo vore meeting with n lit
tle opposition, we woio therefore
beaten' Insular conceit or not,
ho preferred to believe that wo
woro able to cope with all our
difficulties, rather than admit do
feat on tho first shock of battle.
That we might see groat chaugos
iu tho churocter of our industries
we might well expect and boliovo;
but that in consequence wo must
surronder tho position seemed to
bo tho most miserable non possu
niUB over propounded.

If tho arrangements made this
morning aro canied out, the
Japanese steamer Shiushiu-Muru
will sail for Yokohama between '2
and 3 o'clock this afternoon, car
rying with her about -JoO Japanese
who havo not been permitted
to laud by tho Collector General.
Tho arrival of tho bakura-Maru
with 317 moro Japaneso immi
grants ou board evidently hurried
up matters at tho Quarautino
station, for between I and 5 o'clock
last ovoning it was decided to
commence tho work of Bonding
tho lojectod immigrants back to
tho ship on which they camo.
This was dono by the ship's
boats iu consignments and
was accomplished with very little
trouble, tho immigrants being
told thoy woro to bo put ashore.
Thero was somo kicking when
tho vessel was reached, but they
woro hurried ou board bofore
thoy had time to make trouble.
Tho Sakura maru is still lying
outsido iu strict quarautino. No
communication whatever is allow
ed with tho shore. Fred Whit
ney, representing Win. G. Irwin

and several others wore refused
permission to go on board this
morning by the Health ofiicurs.
Oceanic dock is being cleared of

used for discharging tho
freight on Monday morn

come up to tho wharf early
tomorrow morning. Hor contract
laborers, who aro regularly
brought bore, will bo sout over to
the quarantine station at once.
Tho rest of tho pasbengors will bo
examined on tho vensol, aud if
rojected will bo taken on to
Soattlo and returned to Japan on
tho return trip of tho vessel. As
tho vessel is running iu tho regular

expected that many of her pas

When a representative of this
paper strolled through the Hono
lulu Iron Works a few afternoons
sineo to take a look nt the procobs
of making water pipe, ho was in
formed that two hundred and fifty
men wero employed in the various
departments of tho works,
all of whom are receiving
good wages. A largo propoition
of this number aro at work
in the boiler shop where the
big coutract for supplying Ewa
and othor plantations with water
pipo is under way. This depart
ment of tho Iron Works presonts
a busy sccno of industry at the
present time.
As stated iu this paper somo
two or three weeks since, tho mak
ing of stool wator-pipe is a now
doparturo for the Iron Works and
tho presout contract is viy much
iu the nature of an experiment.
There is no difficulty in manufac
turing tho pipe, that has already
been done to tho extent of about
oue-fifth of tho contract, but
whether it can bo dono economi
cally enough to compete with tho
United States manufactmers is
the questiou that cannot bo solved
until tho whole job it finished. At
present all that can be said is that
everything looks favorablo for
success.
Tho procoea of making steel
water-pipe, two foot aud a half in
diameter, is an interesting ono, and
at IDo same time quite simplo. A.
shoot of Bteel ot tho necessary
thickness about four feet wido is
put through heavy rollers which
bond it iu tho required circular
shape It is thou rivoted by hand
sufficiently to hold the ends to
gether. Five of those joints aro
then placed together tho samo as
joints of stovopipo aud rivets
enough to hold tho wholo in placo
aro put in by hand. Tho pipo
thus formed is now twonty foot
long, ft is hoisted bodily by
means of a block aud tackl.o to a
vortical position in front of the
riveting machine. This is a
poudorouB affair iu two parts, ono
of which contains tho steam ham
mer and tho othor acts as a sort
of buffer or anvil. Thn pipo is
placed ovor the lattor, and can bo
raised, lowered or turned round
at will, so as to bring tho hole to
bo rivoted exactly opposito tho
hummer. An approntico boy
stands inside tho pipo and iusorts
the red hot rivots as thoy aro
handed to him one at a timo in
tho holes, tho head of the rivot
being inside. Tlio pipe is then
carefully adjusted so that tho
head of the rivot iusido rests
squarely on the buffer and iu two
blows of tho steam hammer
tho deed is done. Tho first is n
goutlo push which flattens tho
rivot, tho second jb given with a
full head of steam . It not only
drives tho rivet home but by the
shape ot the hammer leaves tho
outsido of tho rivet in a finished
shapo, much hotter than could bo
dono by hand. These rivots can
bo iusoitod about ns fast as an
approntico can tako them out of
tho fire and hand them to tho boy
insido tho pipo, and thus tho pro
cess goes on until tho wholo pipo
is securoly rivotod.
Whon enough of tho pipes nro
thus finished thoy nro laid on
blocks ou tho ground and tho
caulking machino sot to work.
This littlo affair is about the sizo
of a big garden syringe and is run
by compressed air rocoived direct
ly from an air compressor by a
ilexiblo rubber tube. A caulking
iron of tho requisite sizo is in
sorted in tho end and all that is
needed is for tho mechanic to
hold it ovor tho desired spot and
turn on tho air. The machine
docs tho rest at the into of about
000 blows a minute or more. The
air compressor usod is a powerful
ono and, iu fact, is the same as
supplied for the Westinghouso air
brakes in uso on locomotives.
This littlo machino will do tho
work of six or eight men and not
half try. Careful cnulking of the
pipo is necossary to prevent the
water from geltiug iu thejiuterstices
aud forming rust.
The last process to which tho
pipe is Miliji'cted before being
fully completed is that of dipping.
For tlii p;n put it is taken to the
whaif, wueie a lutgo tank or vat
of iron, twentj fivu feet long, has
been erected for the put pose.
There is a furuace nt one end
fioni which a flue extends under
neath the vat, connecting with a
smokestack at tho other end.
When enough pipo is on hand to
justify firing up, enough asphol
tuin is emptied into the vnt to half
fill it unci melted. lien ilia
stuff is cooked to the requisite
temporaturo aud thinness, a
length of pipo is lowered into it
and allowed to remain a few
minutes. It is then hoisted end
ways, tho superfluous asphaltum
allowed to run off, aud then by
means of a traveler abovo Bout to
the end ot the hoist, whence aftor
cooling a few minutes it is taken
to tho wharf ami piled up ready
for shipment. After going
through this asphaltum bath the
pipe will be f'-und In 1"- nnfn,l
iiiBide and out as neatly ok if
painted, all tho cracks aud
crevices filled with asphaltum
and tho wholo impervious to
moisturo. Tho ends of tho pipo
whero tho joints will como when
laid aio previously coated with
tallow, so that thoy aro kept clean
for tho plumbers.
It will take somo thieo months
longer to fiuish tho iron piping
already contracted for, by which
timo othor orders from tho Oahu
Sugar Company and othor planta
tions may bo recoived and tho
making of iron pipo become an
established industry horo, a con
summation devoutly to bo wished.
