X J VISIT IT 1WAII. Mr. R. H. Tailor Tells of a Trip lo These Islands. He Considers Hawaii the "Garden Spot" oT the World. A Kali Dp ' serlptlon of the tireat Luke lSnnWrn; Lava. An Inter esting Account of the Natives. If the many thousands who visit tho Pacific Coast in search of. health amf recreation, cor. Id hut realize that a weeks sail over the beautiful water of the I'aeitic would lurid them in .the (lanien Spot of the world, the Hawaiian Islands would not be larijo enough to accomodate tho enormous crowd which would flock to this little group. I must say that it '.vas more curiosity than any th:n; else that caused me to visit these IU::.;s, out a stay of eighteen moati.s w.i.s 'I io entirely to the charms of the country, which I found unsurpassed from I'ole to Pole. Qnr trip from Sau Francisco was nncventful and will he passed with out cerumen. Wh'-n we reached the Harbor. 1 1 Co u ' i: , the capital of the island, we were more than sur prised to fve a ino!( ;u civ, instead of an uncivilized village as many would presume. After paying tiie customary fee of ? !.";) for llie privi lege of land inc. we so--a red carriages and were juieklv driven to the "Iiwal Hawaiian" Hotel. This hotel is im of the lea-Jin attra.it ions of the isi.it.-i. i:u;itel as it is. in the ten re of an enormous i!sw--r garden which is ir.tersp.Tsod with jeiuitiful walks and drives, which ar hedged bv fliwers of every imaginable varie ty and p'l.ided bv riant oaks which tower hiiih above the nio'e diminua tive ferus and otiier tropical plants which are noticed in great pro fas'ion. After spending several mouths at this betel and becoming thoroughly invig'ra'.ol by the refreshing trade wind J that constant!? blow across these islands, we concluded, to visit the remainder of the group, so leav ing Honolulu early one moruiog in the wirrdy mouth of March, on one of the smalt island steamers we pro ceeded slovfly along tne win j ward coast and anchored after a very rough passage of twenty seven hours near the beuitiful village of Kawai hae, wh.oh is situated on the South wept side of the IiiartJ of Hawaii, and is the l.irgcs; islac. i in the Ha waiian groi p. and about forty miles from the fatal spot where the great navig itor, Ciptain Cook, was mur dered by i lie natives in lTT'.h The exact spot where this daring captain wis murjcred being marked by a tall white monument which can be plainly seen upon approaching the coast. The village of Kawaihe is com posed of numerous white huts scat tered promiscuously at the foot of Mount K ':.ala. whicti is five thousand strven h.in.irel and tifty feet high. This Island presents a beautiful sialic as viewed from the sea; it being formed bv a 1 :.g gralual incline the face of which is clothed in verd ure and is extremely inetu r-'pie, the surface being broken oy large gulches down which the w iter pours in gre.it streams d;: .'..; the rainy Mason .

The prrsim who had his character lead by the palmist must now po to the first cousin of the chiropodist in order to learn whetaer the markings on the foot agree witn the prognostications of the hand. According io the adepts, a small in step denotes religious temperament, while if it is high it suggests self con sciousness. If arched, it indicates a love of luxury, while if it is thin iu addi tion it not only demonstrates-the desire for appr bation and applause, but the possession of honor and lofty ideals. A thick, heavy instep, which the boot maker would describe as rather high, is the mark of the individual who is ca pable of great exertion continued over a long time, the instep, in fact, of the, worker. The heel is another cf the great diag nostic points. If it is smooth and round and without any prominent outlines, it declares the individual to belong to that commonplace order which never achieves distinction and who, though pleasant enough in his or tier way to live with, is yet devoid of any special talent. If it is small, it shows that the owner is ca pable of going heart and soul into any work that he undertakes. Long tois suggest artistic capacity, inst as do loim iiucers of a certain shape, while short toes indicate selfish ness. If they are crooked as well as long, they demonstrate the possession of pood common sense and no little busi ness capacity, while toes separated by a distinct interval, in spite of the com pression in which fashionable boots com pel them, are indicative of emotion. If they curve downward, they indicate an amiable turn of mind, and different por tions of them denote different character istics as do the so called - 'mountains" and "va'ii.ys" on the palm. Iu addition to all these characteristics the markings on the sole must be care fully considered, for they may modify certain c tber peculiarities. It is impos sible, however, to lay down any laws of self guidance in these rninntim, but the bread la-, t- will no doubt furnish a suf tici; ut stimulus for further investiga tion at the hands of the wise women of the w rhi, for they must be indeed wise who can road, as in an open book, char acter which may be formed by the con strictions ( f a fashionable boot. Whatever else may be dene, howev er, it is safe to say that great tees vvhirh are pressed out of the straight line, and which are therefore in hide ous contrast with the beautiful feet of Trilby, bespeak an egregious vanity in their po-scsor and proclaim a belief in the proverb which states that "to be beautiful one must suffer." This, how ever, was the old fashioned idea, which it is hoped the vogue of Mr. du Mau rier's heroine will have done a great deal to counteract. Philadelphia Times. His Sacrifice. "Darling," ho said, looking down tenderly into the eyes of his bride, "I have often heard you say that there is no true love without self sacrifice. Y'ou have taught me this preat truth, and now I am going to prove my love by giving up som; thing that has been very dear to me for years. Yon know how fond I am cf smoking. Well, dearest, I am going to abandon the practice, even though it be like, tearing out my my " At this point his emotion apparently overcame him, and ho looked down at the sweet face, expecting to see there appreciation of his noble resolve, but he saw only a look of blank disappoint ment.

He had learned from his wife's dearest friend that she had set her heart ou buying him half a dozen boxes of cigars covered with lovely silver paper wrap pers, with pictures in the middle. And that is what gave birth to, his noble resolution. Pearson's Weekly. ITectrlc Frotection of Safes. The latest idea for the protection of money and valuables is to have the safe which contains them secured in side a cabinet. Where the safe is kept in a vault tho vault serves the purposes of a cabinet. In either case an electric lining is usi d, consisting of strips of m. tal mounted in connection with thin metal sh ets so arranged that even a pin thrust through the cabinet and pen etrating the lining will sound the alarm. The doer of the vault cannot be opened, uor can the curtain of the cabinet be raise1., until a time lock has disconnect ed it from the alarm system. In order that the alarm box may be proof against molestation it is made of steel and placed within a hood lined in tho same way as the cabinet. Any attempt at tampering wiil cause an alarm to be scaiidi d, as m the case of the cabinet. The door is held closed by heavy lag bolts, tho p.artial removal cf any of which will give a warning signal. There are seve ral of these lag bolts, and before the door can be opened they have all to be remove d, which rceiuires a eon siderable length of time. A Pigeon Ilace.

"It is a curitjus fact, to which crim inologists have not paid much attention, that a largo pro-portion of instinctive criminals have tattoo marks put upon their persons," said Dr. George S. Wil liams, physician of the Missouri peni tentiary. "It is a parados that this fancy should be a part cf the criminal mind, for a tattoo marks the subject for life. It would seem more natural for the criminal to avoid all such marks in order to the better conceal his iden tity from the sleuths of the law. Tho operation of tattooing is quite painful, but even this is not a deterrent. Crim inals, by tho way, seem able to stand more pain than persons of honest in stincts and habits. The desire to be tat tooed, however, is the strangest and most' incomprehensible freak of the criminal intellect. It cannot be account ed for on any other hypothesis than that there is an unyielding aud invari able compensating law of nature which operates in the interest of orderly con duct aud behavior. But for tho tattoo marks with which many hardened aud incorrigiblo wretches decorate their skin many a criminal who is now con fined behind strong prison walls where he can do the world the least amount of harm would be at liberty today, preying ou seiciety. "The custom of tattooing is as pop ular among the female criminals as among the males, though women rarely have the mark put in as conspicuous places as the men. There ia on interest ing field of study here for the student of criminology. Lombroso has merely called attention to the fact cf which I speak without attempting to explain the causes that lead to it, but he is the only specialist of note that seems to have given the matter any notice. It more frequently happens than otherwise that criminals who submit to the tat tooing operation choose a design sug gestive cf the lewd and libidinous, and in this is contained the positive hint of a diseased condition of mind which probably explains the real cause of the foolish and unbusinesslike custom. The habit seems to be so universal among instinctive criminals that I am inclined to believe there must bo some one or mere institutions in the county- where they get the work done. Few of them here will give the slightest hint cf when cr where they had the work done, which leads to the supposition that it is one of tho numerous secrets of the craft." St. Louis Republic. "Dlsperjje!" Shakespeare, who rendered eloquent tribute to the native authority of kings, lords and military commanders, seldom shows a like respect in his treatment of civic dignitaries. Justice Shallow aud Dogberry, for instance, are so delicious ly absurd that their sayings have often been criticised as too good to be true. Perhaps, but they cau occcasionally be pretty closely paralleled. Thero is something quite in the Shakespeare-an manner in the simplicity of a former magistrate of Newhuryport, in the old day of cues and ruffled shirt bosoms. A case was being tried before him in which tho accused, who stoutly denied the charge, was asserted to have stolen from a gentleman a new set of shirts. "A pretty story that I should take his shirts!" exclaimed the irate culprit. But when he was searched a moment later it was r?vealed that he was at the mo ment arrayed in the whole six, one over the other. The good justice was shocked. "What a villain !" he exclaimed. Then he added reproachfully: "Why didn't you tell me you were a villain? Why didn't you save tho time of the court,. the spectators and the witnesses by own ing up you were a villain in the first place?" A few years later a constable cf tho same town made a remark worthy of Dogberry himself. A knot of little boys had been hanging about the entrance to the town hall before a public meeting. As the officer came insight all ran away but one, and to this lone youngster ho addressed his orders in a tone of mingled dignity and wrath. "Disperge, " he commanded, "dis perge, I say! We can't havo no burlash here." The awed youth did not disperse, but he moved on. Youth's Companion. A Wasted Sermon. A teacher in-a large -public school at Peckham lias recently been much an noyed by the persistency with which ono of her scholars plays truant. She was on the point of reporting his case, when she spoke to one of the lady su pervisors. This lady believes iu kind ness rather than harsher measures and told the teacher to send the offender to her house the next time he was trouble some. So one afternoon there appeared at the lady's house a boy. The supervisor was all smiles aud attention, and she treat ed him to a "spread" the like of which he probably had never enjoyed before. He was soon made to feel perfectly at home. "Now," thought the benefactress, "is the time to preach my little 'ser mon.' " So she put before bin) the evils of playing truant and besought him to be a model boy in the future. Imagine her surprise when he said to her: "I ain't tho boy that runs away, ma'am. He gave me a penny to come here in his place." Scottish Leader. Camas. Alexandre Dumas, or Dumas perc, lived from 1803 to 1870. His literary life began with the play "Henry III," lu 1829, and his labors continued to his death, a period of 41 years. The number of novels, plays, poems and literary works of all descriptions produced dur ing this time was enormous, few writ ers of any country exceeding in quautity, the amount credited to this remarkable man.

The experience af all sufferers with blood diseasess identical. First the doctors are cM sulted, and their prescription of pota&b and mercury is taken faithfully, fjut without result. Months pass, and the mercurial dose is continued, until finally, his condition being no better, or often worse, the patient becomes discouraged and decides to change treatment. Patent medicines are then taken, but until the right one is found the results are the same. S. S. S. is the only blood remedy on the market which is guaranteed purely vegetable. It is the only one that contains no mercury, no potash, or other mineral, and therefore is the only one that promptly g-ets at the bottom of all blood diseases and cures permanently. MR. JOSE1-H C. M VG ATT. All who are afflicted with Scrofula, K.czema, Tetter, Cancer, Carbuncles, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Catarrh, or any other form of blood troubles, will find in S. S. K. a prompt and permanent cure; it matters not how deep seated the disease, or what other treatment has failed. Carbuncles are the result of an impoverished con dition of the blood, causing a depressed vitality and such a low state of health that it is difficult for the system to with stand even the mildest illness. Mr. Joseph C. Myg-att, of No. 400 Han cock Ave., Athens, (ia., says: " I con tracted blood poison from dye, which developed such alarminp symptoms, that my life was almost despaired of. At one time there were fourteen car buncles on mv body, and my suffering was such that for months I was unable to do any work. The best physician in our city treated me constantly, but his efforts were of np avail, my condi tion frowing- worse all the while. "S. S. S. was recommended, and after I had taken the tirst bottle, au im provement was noticedy I grew better every day, and after takint,-- six bottles I was entirely cured. The carbuncles all disappeared, leaving my skin per fectly clear, and I have never had one since." There is not a disease of the blood, it matters not how severe, which S. S. S. will not cure. It is guaranteed Purely Vegetable and is a real blood remedy for real blood troubles, promptly reaching the seat of the disease, and forcing it out permanently.
