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

After a very pleasant run of sev
enteen, boars we anchored in Hilo
Bay off the village of Hilo. IIUo is 1
the principal town in Hawaii, and is'
next to Honolulu in importance
and population. The town Tuny be
easily recognized from seaward by
the tall white square towers of the
Roman Catholic Church, the lead
ing house of worship in the Village,
and the pointed white spires of the
Protestant Church: there arc also
several other largo buildings b-.th
public and private sm-h us the
school house, Court House and
many others which would n :'. t
credit upon the architectu.d beauty
of mny of our modern cities.
The scene which this portion of
the Island nre-eats as viewed from
Hilo P.sy is both novel ami pl,-n
did; the shores are stu 1 led wiuj
extensive growth ot Coo ..a-un and
bread fruit trees, interspersed with
plantations of sugar cane, through
these, numerous stream-; are seen
hurrying to the ocean: to this suc

FEET AND CHARACTER
What the
I'ednl Ttxtrcmities
Ileveal to
One Who Knows.
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

Long tois suggest artistic capacity,

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

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.

TATTOOING.
rrlminaH, Purpi-is: to I'.elute, Seem te
liuve ! Weakness For It.
"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."

"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.

Carbuncles !
It's the same story. 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.
