brought under an American protectorate,
or even to their immediate annexation.
france is not in condition to object, i f
she would Germany, which is exhibit
ing remarkable vigor in the development
of her foreign commerce and in increas-
ing her naval armament, is said to fully
understand the value of the islands, and
to desire to possess them, but the rela.
lions of the United States with this
power are at present of such friend
ly nature that she could scarcely
be expected to stand in the
way of their acquisition by us, although
she would unquestionably object to any
rival European nation gaining foothold
there, AS to the views of the natives on
the question of annexation to the United
States, it is asserted that two thirds of
them have favored for the past ten years
any arrangement that would bring them
in closer relations with us. In 1866
treaty of commercial reciprocity was
negotiated with the Hawaiian Govern
ment by Minister McCook, and was
warmly supported by Senator Sumner,
who made an able speech in its favor in
an executive session of the Senate. The
treaty failed by only two or three votes
to get the two thirds of the Senate neces-
sary for its ratification. If it had been
ratified there is little doubt that the islands
would before this have belonged to the
United States. = Washington Cor. Neao York

A. B. NEWMAN, assistant light keeper
at Mount Desert, is the owner of a fine
Newfoundland dog, of which we are told
the following anecdote Mr.. Newman's
little boy, nine years old, strayed away,
and was missing for about two hours.
The mother went out of doors and called
to him, when the dog, in response, ran
up from the shore with the boys wet cap
in his mouth, and signifed by his action
that he desired her to follow him. The
mother, alarmed, called the father, who
was sleeping in the house, and they fol-
lowed the dog as quickly as possible.
Down by the shore. on rock, the little
boy was lying insensible, his clothes wet,
as if he had been dragged from the water.
After long efforts, in which the dog rem
dered all the assistance he could in his
mute way, the boy was resuscitated, and
afterward told his story. He was on the
beach, gathering shells, when large
wave came in and carried him off in the
undertow. The dog jumped in after him,
but the wave prevented him from reach
ing the boy for some minutes. He seized
him by the leg of his trousers, and tried
to drag him ashore, but the cloth tore IN
his teeth, and the boy said that he had an
indistinct recollection of the dog coming
coming down below the surface for him
again, and that was the last thing he was
conscious of. 1t seems that the dog had
dragged the child upon the rock out of
reach of the waves, and had tried to re-
store him. When he heard the mothers
call he took the cap to inform her, as
well as he could, of the affair, and hasten
assistance. ~ Portland Press.

Shaken Constitutions.

General debility, and the dependency by which it is
Invariably accompanied, are often regarded as the
symptoms of incurable physical decay. OF persons
thus afflicted it is often said that their constitutions
undermined; that they have nothing left to fall
back upon that they hopeless cases. This in at
least eight instances out of ten is false conclusion
A constitution may be shaken without being under
mined and even if undermined may be propped and
strengthened; and in many so-called hopeless cases
there reserves of vitality and latent yigor in
system that only require stimulating and developing
to render them equal 10 the work of repair The
best and surest smulant and invgorant that can be
given as remedy for decay of the vital powers,
whether natural casual, is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. If the faterng physique be reused into
healthy activity by any human MEANS this regenera-
ting vegetable cordial will accomplish that object
Its effect upon the appetite, the digestion, the
Gus system, the secretive organs and the bowels is
most salutary. 1t not only acts directly upon the
solids and fluids of the body, but indirectly upon the
constitution ITSELF Persons left by fever in such
deplorably helpless condition that would if
they could never recover, may be completely built
up-it might almost be said re-6uih-by this mighty,
this wenigh infalbe vegetable restorative At this
season of inclement winds and chilling damps the
Bitters should be taken as protective medicine.

THE SUPREME QUESTION. is
the mostimportant of earthly blessings,
and therefore the nervous anxiety of the
sick to ascertain the relative merits of the
various medicines in use is not surprising.
Within the last two years many thou
sands of inyalids have abandoned the
preparations of the pharmacopolist for
the remedy introduced by Dr. Walker, of
California. under the somewhat eccentric
name of VINEGAR BITTERs. That this
new Vegetable medicine is winning
golden opinions of all sorts of people" is
beyond doubt. The accounts we hear
of its extraordinary effects in cases of
chronic dyspepsia, rhuematism, liver
complaints, malarious fevers, nervous
prostrations and many other distressing
diseases, certainly justify the popularity
which it has everywhere acquired.
DR.. Walker claims for his specific a
remedial power over all disorders that do
not involve an irreparable destruction OF
bone and fibre, and results so far appear
to have justified the claim. In this age
of wonders we are not disposed to deny
the possibility of any phenomena not di-
reetly at variance with the laws of nature,
and as tits held by many psychologists
that all maladies proceed from the same
generic cause, we see no reason for the
incredulity with which some people re.
gard the idea of Universal Medicine
DR.. Walkers preparation seems destined
to be universally approved.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Clearing Moss from Fruit Trees
The american A9rSeultur1st says nothing
is better than carbolic soap and I've.
Make common I've of wood ashes, not
strong, and add half pound OF carbolic
soap to three-gallon pail of boiling I've.
Apply hot with a swab to old trees. Ii
has been used with entire success on ap-
pie, pear, peach and cherry trees, destroy
ing every particle of moss it touches.
AN English journal says: Few per-
sons are aware of the magnitude to which
the rose may be grown, or the splendid
effect it can be made to produce on lawn
or pleasure ground; yet with sufficiently
strong stem, and system of careful and
patient training, there can be no reason
able doubt but that the standard roses can
be grown to the size and form of the or
binary examples of the weeping ash, hav-
ing the branches all produced from the
top of a single stem, and flowing down
ward upon all sides-a very ornamental
object for the lawn.
The Cheapest Grain for Chickens
Now that chickens raised the past season
have attained the hungry age, and the
frost has somewhat diminished insect
forage, the quantity of grain that will be
disposed of by large flock of young
fowls is astonishing. The question arises,
What is the cheapest food land the best,
all things considered) that can be bought?
The reply is, Indian corn. Give cooked
and raw, whole, ground fine, and ground
coarse, for the sake of change. 1t is the
cheapest thing that can be bought, gener-
ally speaking, the amount of nutriment
obtained in it considered. But to give
nothing but corn would be mistake. 1t
would predominant for economy's sake,
but oats, buckwheat, wheat screenings,
boiled potatoes, scraps from the table,
and as many other things as possible,
should be added to the bill of fare
Duchess Farmer. v
-Coloring Apples The San Jose Mer-
cary, of December 8, says: "Charles
Game, who owns an extensive orchard
near this city, has a method of giving
to red, striped and yellow apples a high
coloring. The fruit is picked and laid
upon the ground in long fiat piles, under
the half-shade of the trees. 1t Is desira-
Bile to give them as much sunlight as they
will bear without sunburning. In two
or three weeks the apples on top will be
highly colored. These are removed,
boxed, and sent to market, and the next
layer exposed to the sun. His apples
thus colored, especially the Baldwins,
Smiths Cider, and Spitzenbergs, chal-
1enge the admiration of all who see them
By this process, apples that when picked
from the trees were almost without color,
will become as brilliant as the reddest
apple on the tree, and equally as fine as
he best"

resuscitate her spoke harshly when he
discovered that he had rubbed The paint
off the cheeks of the wax beauty, who,
before she YVES burned out, was wont to
smile from the window of the hair store
opposite. -Boston Ad0ertiser.
THERE is a woman in Washington who
has buried five husbands. Recently she
married sixth. Upon the day Of the
wedding, man called at the house of the
groom, asked for that gentleman, and
then proceeded to measure his body with
tape line. The infatuated groom enter
tanned an idea that this might, perhaps, be
man sent around by his tailor. After
the ceremony in church, however, the
husband was surprised to observe this
same person standing in the vestibule and
winking furiously at the bride as the
party came out to the carriages. Just as
they were starting off the mysterious be-
ing put his head into the carriage window,
and whispered to the bride: "Got a
ready-made one that'll just suit himl
| Beautiful fit-beautiful!" When the
happy man demanded the name of the
intruder, the bride blushed, and said she
believed he was some kind of an under
taker. Then the man was not so happy.
He was hardly happy at all, and certain
gloom seemed to overcast the honey
moon. Perhaps the undertaken was too
prompt. But still, we like to see a man
take an interest in his business.
A HIGHLY sensational account of a
French polar expedition, under Octave
PAW, which iourneyed successfully to
the north pole and beyond, land lived for
| several months on the frozen carcases of
deceased mastodons, has been going the
rounds of the Eastern press for three or
four weeks, and it is probable ere now
laundering through Europe. With regard
to this great expedition, a San Francisco
paper says: GA San Francisco CORE
spondent of the New York World, with
more wit than honesty, furnishes his
journal with bogus account of an expe-
dition to the north pole, by M. Pavy, who
attracted some attention here while ago
with boasts of what discoveries he would
make when he started on his expedition,
but somehow he never got ready to start.
The correspondent ridicules the Bohem-
ian club for their gullibility in being cas-
lily imposed upon by the great Arctic
Explorer whom they honored with a
splendid banquet; the names of the prom
inent officers of the Bohemian club are
given as comprising the expedition with
NJ. Pavy, and the Imaginary account of
the discoveries they made is given with
great circumstantiality. Traces of herds
of mastodons were found, and even we'll
preserved specimen of the entire carcase
of one was discovered, with the hide and
hair undecayed. The account seemed so
plausible that the vigilant editor of the
World was deceived, and he printed it in
good faith. The Chicago papers, with
one exception, copied it, and now it is
fairly started on its rounds, and will crop
out in papers all over the world"
