The Sandwich Islands.

In 1882 the full-blooded natives of the
Sandwich Islands numbered about $780,
900. In 1872, forty years later, their
number was only 49, 044. The decline is
still going On, but the percentage of de-
crease has not been quite as large dur
ing the last few years as a few decades
ago. During the six years preceding
1872 the total native population fell
from 56,S97 to 81, 131. The decrease
was mainly among the full-bloods, the
number of half-castes being lessened
only SAT. During the same period the
foreign population increased from 4,194
to $500. It is pessible hat the next de-
cade may show a further check to the
fearful malady which is decimating the
islanders, for their morals have greatly
improved of late years, but it is hardly
probable, and, at a day which some of
our readers may live to see, the Kama
kas, if not extinct, will be reduced to a
mere handful Gazette.

SCOTLAND produced Is, SOC, 900 tons
of coal in 1871.
GIRLS are taught type-setting at an
industrial school in Vienna.
A NEW theater in London is to try the
experiment of giving only afternoon
performances.
A has been discovered in
Angola, Africa, sc sensitive that it closes
its leaves at the mere sound of an ap-
preaching football.
RECENTLY 1886 tons of rails were
made in a fortnight at a British iron
company's works-the largest quantity
ever made in England under one roof
within the same space of time.
A MEMORIAL window, commemorative
of Sir John Franklin, has been placed
in a church in London, of which Sir
John was once of the founders, and which
is attended chiefly by sailors.
TWELVE hundred butchers were enter
tanned at tea in Mr.. Surgeons taber-
nacle, London, on Easter Tuesday, after
which they were addressed by the pastor
and the Rev. Nh. Cuff, "butcher and

To WIN q wager of one thousand
guineas, an English manufacturer lately
accomplished the following remarkable
feat in textile manufacture Two sheep
were brought to the factory at five
o'clock in the morning here they we're
shorn, the wool secured, spun and
woven, and the cloth secured, dyed,
pressei and finished, at four o'clock p.
m. The cloth was then handed to tail
ors, and at twenty minutes before nine
o'clock p. m. a coat was made, as the
wager required.
SIR BARTLE FRERE, who was sent to
Zanzibar by the British Government on
the strength of Dr.. Livingstone's repre-
sensations concerning the slave-trade,
has reported matters quite as bad as
was expected, but has utterly failed in
his attempt to effect treaty stipulations
with the Sultan. It is reported that ne
gotiations proceeded smoothly until a
new French consul, presumably with
fresh instructions from Versailles, came
upon the scene. All the great powers,
save France, have agreed that the
African slave-trade shall be regarded as
p1Idcy, duu nave cOuceuou TO one an
other a conditional right of search.
France holds back as yet from such an
agreement, and her flag at present COW
ers a large share of the trade.
STATE purchase of railways was re-
ported against by an English Royal
Commission in 1867, when railway prop
erty had gone down very low. Eminent
English authorities are now reported as
advising that it is too late to think of
purchasing on good terms. The system
of $4,000 miles has cost s., $50, 900, 900.
1t is estimated that the present rates of
profit, with a fair allowance of prospec-
tive rise III value, would fix the cost of
State purchase of the railways of En-
gland, Scotland and Ireland, at s., 200
000, 900. The annual net receipts now
reach about $130, 900, 900. It is calcu-
lated that the Government could meet
the interest on the purchase, borrowing
at 81 and 4, with 1922, 600, 900, and thus
have a small surplus. But political and
social p~erplexities are feared if once the
State undertakes to be responsible for
the fair running of all lines.

ONO RAILROAD LAVA new rail

ONO RAILROAD LAVA new rail-
road law recently passed by the Ohio
Legislature prohibits absolutely the
lease Of one competing road with an
other; provides that the assent of two
thirds of the stockholders shall be re-
quired to make a valid lease of the con-
Meeting road which does not compete /;
that the rental shall not be less than the
net earnings of the road for the preced-
ing fiscal year; that any stakeholder OBJ
jecting to a lease shall have the right
within sixty days to demand pay for his
stock at a price not below the average
for the previous six months, and thatthe
lessee of a road shall give undoubted
security for the performance Of the
terms of the lease. This law protects
the rights of the minority of the stock
holders in ANY railroad corporation and
at the same time guards against the
creation of monopolies.

Oats as Manure.

A Kentucky farmer writes 1 have
seen frequent inquiries how to reclaim
odd and worn lands. A quick and cheap
plan is to SOW the land in oats as early
as you can in the spring, as soon as ripe
plow under, keep off all stock and Q
will have a tremendous fall growth of
oats !; pillow them under in October, or.
if South, the first of November, then
SOW rye, Craze in the spring and feed
down when ripe, pillow under, and you
Will see one of the finest rye fields you
ever saw /; or, if you wish, SOW clover
ON the rye the first spring it is very
e~ffectual and cheap. I saw the above
tried in Tennessee when I wa a boy
the land was SO worn that the oats did
not exceed knee-high they were plowed
under when ripeand again in November.
The land was planted in corn the next
year and made a large yield it was
before the days of clover. 1 have tried
it repeatedly since with good success.

Spurious Butter.

There are persons travelling through
the country selling receipts for making
one pound of butter out of one pint of
milk. The following is said to be about
the receipt they give 81 LOUNGES pulver-
lied alum, ] ounce pulverized gum
arabic, so grains pepsin; mix well and
preserve in a bottle. One pint of good
milk requires only one-third of a tea
spoonful of this powder. This is put in
with the yolk of n fresh egg for every
pint of milk, and then it is churned. %
With this people are humbugged. The
alum will turn the milk to curd, which,
with the gum-arabic and the egg, will
form a mass of something which they
call butter. Blessed, sweet butter, what
foul connections are palmed off in thy
name l-Des MOines Register.

Hog Cholera.

So many cures for hog cholera have
been published, and still the fatal dis
ease continues to devastate whole neigh
borhoods, that We are backward in offer
ing anything new. The Rurol World,
published in a region where the disease
is prevalent, says of the largest hog
raisers in Missouri has never lost any,
when his neighbors have lost all. He
gives them salt just as he does other
stock. In cooking food for hogs
which he does in a large wooden boiler
holding thirty or forty bushels-he has
all the Goals and ashes thrown in the
boiler and boiled with the food. He
sometimes puts in salt and sulphur. He
likewise burns charcoal for them, and
they eat it as freely as they do corn.
He also has movable sheds for his hogs
and keeps them sheltered from the cold
and storms.

THE Northern Pacific railroad survey

To Break Hens from Setting.

Mr.. H. G. P, in the Country Gentle
man, recommends tying a string around
the hens neck, not tight enough to
choke her, but so it will not slip
owe the head. The string should be
about four feet long. Tie the other end
to a stake, and then let the hen flop
around. He says that one day will cure
them, and that in a few days they will
go to laying again.

To Prevent Silver frsm furnishing.

Warm the articles and paint them
over with a solution of colodion in alco-

year, and are as bright as ever, while
others. unprotected, become perfectly
black in a few months.

Manifest Absurdities.

Is there any good reason why the dictates of
common sense should be disregarded in medical
practice? Surely not. Yet how literally they are
sometimes set at naught in the treatment of dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, constipation, nervous
prostration and general debility. How often are
powerful purgatives, emetics and ~salivants given
in cases of Indigestion, bilious collie and costive-
ness, when the disease has already robbed the
patient of strength he needs to combat with the
attack. The absurdity of giving facilitating medi-
eines to SICK people who are too weak already, is
so manifest, that it is astonishing how any sane
man can believe in such practice, The rational
course under such circumstances is to administer
a tonic and regulating medicine, and the expe-
rience of a quarter of a century has proved that
Hostetter'sS Stomach Bitters is the most wholesome
and efficient preparation of this class to be found
in the medical repository. 1t is, however, some
thing more than an invigorant and a regulator. Its
properties as an aperient and anti-bilious agent;
its vitalizing and purifying effect upon the blood
its utility when given as an anodyne, instead of
laudanum, or choral, or ~digitalis, or some other
Supplying narcotic; its tranquilizing tendency in
spasmodic affections, and its palatibility, as con-
trasted with the sickening pills and potions of the
pharmacopnia,certainly entitle Hostetter's Bitters
to be called the most comprehensive remedy in
existence.
