In the oi hl.
The following remarkable account lias
eon culled from the writing" tf JiKiqui!!
Idler, and has reference U) the volcano
f Mauna I.oa, in tlte Sandwich Islands:
After visiting the American coiwtil at
Honolulu, we Htarted for the volcano,
nd after a hard, hot climb, readied the
dge of a precipice overliaiiKine; a lake
t molten lire, 10 miles In eircuniferenc'
nd 100 feet Mow us. This U called by
'ie natives Kilianea, or god of lire.
It is the largest active volcano in the.
rorld, and is 6,000 feet above Ihe sea
svel. This molten mass went dashing
gainst the cliffs ou the oiiitosite side.
'ith a noisu like the deep and mighty
urges of a stormy ocran. Waves of
lood red fiery liquid lava hurled their
Ulows on the ironbound headland and
hen rushed up the face of the cliff to
ass their gory spray high in the air.
liis restless, heaving lake of lire (toiled
nd bubbled, never remaining silent for
single instant. There is an inland on
no bide of this lake which the liorv
raves ll tack unceasingly, and with re
mtless fury, P if hcnt on hurling it
roni ils base.
Oil llie other side then1 was a large
avily into which this burning mass
ashed with n loud lour, breaking down
1 its impetuous, headlong career the Mi
antic stalactites that overhung the
ninth of this cavern, and Hinging up
he liquid material for the formation of
ew ones. It is terribly grand, magniti
ently sublime; but no words can ude
uately describe such a scene, and no
mver but that of Omnipotence pro
lice it.

I was speaking a few days ago to the
rife of one of our rich nu n. of her social
utics, anil she said with a sigh that she
pondered that she was not completely
khausted. " We go to our country place
in Ixmg Island," slie said, "in the middle

A my boys look forward to vacation

The Hum llnlilt Overcome.
"I read something tit" other day," said
a jovial fellow, who is clawed among the
"good fellows." "about breaking otf the
drinking habit. I have been a drinkiiu
man for a number of y. ars, drinking a
IllUch for the good lellow-'iii) of the
tbiug as for anything c!-e. And thi
kind of drinking, 1 want ml to under
stand, is the woist way lo drink. M
wilV is tie- most sensible woman in tin
world. She never tried to get me togivi
up the rum habit, hut what sh" d:d wn
to me was this: .Vow, Frank, you arc
very likely to injure your health if you
keen up titis drinking habit. Why don't
you limit yourself to so many drinks a
day ? Of course if you were to break oil
entirely you would feel disgusted with
yourself when yon really wanted t
drink. Hut allow yourself so many n
day, to go on and use tho.-.e up as you so"
lit.' Of course my wife is abvays right
in everything site advises, so 1 tried if, I
allowed myself six drinks a day. Now
here's the funny part of it, I was mi
afraid I would exhaust my six and then
lind that I wanted one that I hoarded
them up until late in the day. The re
sult was that I frequently came home
with some of my drinks to my credit.
'Jen,' I said to my wife, 'your scheme
works beautifully; only 1 lind that my
limit is too high. I seldom reach it
now.' 'Well,' she said, 'try live then.'
'No,' I answered, 'I'll try four.' I tried
four and generally bad something com
ing to me, so I cut it down to two.
Sometimes I do not take a drink at all.
Meanwhile my wife smiles and tells mo.
that I am a sensible man, and I begin to
believe that I am." New York Tribune.
