Fate of the Lepers, The Hawaiian kingdom.' has a Iepet population of 2,000. . Of these lees than one-ball are in custody. There is no physician on the island who knows - enough, about leprosy to convince any other physician that the truth has been reached. There are no ''white lepers under trestraint, and probably not more than 50 or 60 whites are aluicted with the disease. The chief item -of the Budget represents the sums nsed for the segregation and support of confirmed , . lepers; When a leper is reported to the '' ' police of any district in Hawaii, an Officer ib sent to fetch him or her to Honolulu, where there is a detention hospital put 'on the outskirts of the city and on the bank of the beautiful bay. Then they are examined by the doctor, who decides whether it is a case of leprosy , or not. Onoo Ideolared a leper, the person is civilly dead ' and the person is incapable . i of Buing in the courts or being sued At the hospital there ia accommodation for atxmtazo. it is filled every two months. The hospital full, a steamer cornea to : t- take to the island of Molokai those whose condition if most advanced, there to re main untft death. It has been , my lot to witness icany sad .soenea, but none of . them I approached : in any way those r vwhioh attended the separation of families as' these handful of lepers sailed away . o their ekile. Daughters reached out their arm4o their mothers, whom they might not embrace ; wives held up their months lor kisses which then husbands could (not give ; babes, held in the arms of Btrangera, laughed and cooed to their - mothers, to whose breaking hearts they might not be held in one last, kmngem brace.' . And sobs each sobs I " alas that eome from the depths of hearts : WTuntf with the misery of a hopeless con dition." Presently the lines were east ' off, the little steamer turned her head ' . away land steamed slowly toward the sea. Foreign Seamen.

' ' Mexico ha more bloody, beastly fight to the death among its desperadoes than any other country. A Mexican is quick to take an offence, ready to fight, and if necessary will treasure hi wrong for year until he has an opportu nity of wreaking his rengeance. The courage of these people is more frequently manifested in their hand to hand enoounteri than in any other way. v A HBAVY GUN, There was successfully east at the South Boston iron works, in fulfillment on contract with the United SUtes gOTernmeat, of thai largest gun ever constructed In this country. When fully "completed it will be about ,80 feet m length, of twelve inch rife bore, and will weigh 12,200 pounds. The cost of theun WiU C 2,800 or about one-half the sum a steel gun would have cost. It is calculated to throw a projectile six mile. y WESTERN LIVE STOCK. It is expected that 300,000 bead of cattle will driven from Texas into Colorado this year, and that 50,p00 more will come from other western state. The calf crop of thi year i about 250,000, and when all the new cattle are there Colorado stock wid amount to 2,000,000. The largest purchaser of Tela cattle have neen tne iTyor brother of Pueblo, . They will drive 45,000 head into Colorado, and te do that It will require a force of 40 men and 400 horses. 3ne journey will last from sixty to ninety dayi ; DESERTED THAAGES." I Tor a new state, California has a srreater number of deserted viliage than can be found in any other Motion of the country. In some oountle scarcely a vestige exists of the thriv ing town of a quarter of a century ago. Of ue 6,000,000 sheep in this state probably one- naif are subsisted in the old mining counties, grazing among the forgotten camps, cities, gulches, bars and canyons, out of which hun dred of millions have been taken, adding to the general wealth of the world, but impover ishing California.

The value of exports of domestic cattle, hoes. beef, pork and dairy products for March, 1884, was 5,610,905; for the same month in 1888, 10,434,3m jfor the three month ended March 81, 1884, 21,657,582, againit t8L205,- nn 4V. . j.- . . av iw ail i ng penou last year.

Dairy products for eleven months ended March 31. 1884, tl6,204,043, against 112,0,972 for the eorresponding months in 1883. DURATION OF LIFE. According to Dr. Farr, if we take the marak of a million children through life. the follow ing will be the result: Nearly 150,000 will die the first year, 83,000 the second year, 28,000 the third year, and less than 4,000 in the thir teenth year. At the end of fortx-five years 600,000 will have died. At the end of sixty Tears 870,000 win be still living: at the end of eighty years, 90,000; at eighty-five years, 38,- wuo, ana at ninety-five -years, '2,100. At the end of 100 year there will be 223, and at the end of 108 years there will be one survivor. ." TO BUT CUBA. The proposition for the purchase .of tha Wand of Cuba has been revived. In this con nection it is interesting to recall the fact tht before the outbreak of the rebellion Senator Slidell introduced a Ml in Congress appropria ting 80,000,000 for that purpose. He wanted to make a slave state of it. Kothina- ever came of the measure. It is interesting to re call also that in 1825 Spain was willing te cede Cuba to the United States in return for some conuneraial concessions, but our government wouia not consent. IN THE BEGINNING. Dr. W.J. Beecher, of Auburn theokwieal seminary, tells hi students that when ha haw gan reading religion newspaper there wr plenty of leader of religion thought who were strenuously affirming that, unless the earth and skid mere fitted up in their present shape in the space of 144 hours by the clock, ane diuus was a ne, ana all tpligion was a fraud.

Last year we imported 84, 000, 000 pound of block tie, worth more than )6, 000,000, and of tin plate and other manufact ure we received nearly (20,000,000 worth. The tin deposit of California, North Carolina and Georgia have been, pushed to their utmost, with the exception of the North Carolina de posit, which is a newly discovered one. Be eently, however, an Immense field of tin has been found in the Black Hills. It Is believed that thi new field ia practically inexhaustible1 The tin 1 found in the granite -region, and was discovered by miners who were prospect ing far mica. I WASHINGTON fttONtMENT. ' The Washington ' monument, : now 414 feet high, is visible at a distance of miles from the city. The blocks of white marble of which the obelisk is composed are of all sises and quali ties, and corns from all parts of the World. Among some of the most interesting are a block from Wm,1 Tail's chapel on lake Lacerne, erected in 1388, one from the ruined palace of Hannibal at Carthage, a large' white ma.ble from a temple erected by Augustus on 'the Nile, a massive block . from Baqsia, and finely chis eled stones from Braddock's Field,1 BuiJter Hill, Vesuvius, the Buddhist pile' of Slam, the temple of culapius in the isle of Paros, and from other places of interest in every country under the sun - COLORED COFFEE. If ore than half the opffee sold ' is artificially solored, and the heaKh officers of New York have) made some startling oUeeeveries They procured samples of the coloring matter used, and of the unroasted bean so treated. They found that the coloring matter oontained both arsenic and lead; also chrome yelkwr Prussian blue, yellow ochre, umber, Venetian red, lamp black, gum Arabic, soapstone and charcoal. The dealers try to make the cheaper grade of coffee resemble the genuine Java, which has a yellow color produced by the long voyage. Several of the large coffee houses in New York , claim that while they color their coffee they nse no injurious dye, The matter will be thoroughly investigated. DEMAND FOR PACTS .

In thi country the writers who command the widest circle of reader are practical, well-posted, business-like men who know how to handle attractively the salient point of interest about people, Pisces and thing. The country is going ahead with such a rush that people have the keenest, live liest curiosity to keep up with it. This ac count forth popularity of newspaper, i What the modern reader wants spread out before him every day is a map of busy life, its fluctua tions and vast concern, i i . " THE CHOLERA. The periodical pestilence scare ia familiar to everybody. This year the rumor come early. Well defined case of cholera are reported in eastern Europe and Asia, and at Marseilles and other French port active preventive measures have been taken. Now there is no sense in a premature alarm. But we have a long sum mer before ns, and Egypt the nursery of the disease is giving it a terrible vitality and start ing it out betimes on its death dealing march. While medical men have their doubts a to the pathology of cholera itself, there is no doubt that it allies are famine, filth, cold and dampness, and the first outbreak in any coun try are generally in the slums of the great cities. When the pestilence once gets started, however, every wayward breeze carries it into the dwellings of the rich, and into the health iest localities. Prevention is better than cure," and it is not too soon to begin the work. Vigi lance and cleanliness at our seaports, and in our inland cine and town will preserve us not only from a cholera visitation but from many other dreaded, summer disease. If the sanitary authorities will put in their work wei1 during the next kirty day, all will be well. . , WHAT THE BREWERS SAT. . For some years the temperance peo ple have been getting the best of John Barleycorn in a comparison of statistics. This has stirred tip the United States Brewers' association, and that body ha recently published a queer volume enti tled '-The Real and Imaginary Effects of Intemperance." It is a statistical sketch of some interest '. The author concludes from official figures in the rev mue department that intemperance is decreasing. In 1870 the consumption of distilled spirits in this country was about five quarts per capita, and in 1880 it was but turee and a hall In addition ce) this proof the book speak of the cus tom of fifty years ago, when every house kept liquor on hand, when all visitors ere given liquid refreshments, and when all harvest hands considered a jug of runt and water as part of. the refresh ments to be furnished by their empbyer. Reports from fif ty-four asylums contain ing 86,973 patients show that 2,588 in mates were made insan by intemper ance, or less than seven per cent, of thev whole "-number. !''
