occupation, but accompanied by great
dangers. Last year, near the city of
Tikhvin, woman was burned as q
witch. Now, in the city of Saratoff, a
whole peasant family is to be tried
for the murder of sorcerer. The cir
cumstances of the case are these: A
peasant known to be a sorcerer was in
vited to a wedding ceremony, and
treated with the utmost attention, in
order to dispose him in favor of the
young couple. The conjurer, howev-
er, looked dissatisfied, and when the
young pair were lying at his feet sup
bride instantly began to cry out as one
possessed with an evil spirit. This was
looked upon as bad sign for the new
ly-wedded couple, and their relatives
fell on the sorcerer, killed him on the
spot, and mutilated his body so shock
ingly that it could hardly be iden-
titled.

Sandwich Islands under employment of
the Government, arrived Tuesday night
and is registered at the Laclede. He
returns after an absence of six years
from st. Louis. and is accompanied by
his family. For the past six years DR..
Enders has had sanitary control of
three islands of the group, viz: Mani,
Molokai and Lanai. On the island of
Molokai there is q hospital for lepers,
now containing 700 patients infected
with that disorder. The leprosy IS in
durable, there never having been
single case cured. It is, however,
greatly alleviated by medical treat
ment, and is now on the decrease. The
vital statistics show favorable condition
of health, and, on evidence, the Doctor
states that out of 80 white children
under his observation during the past
six years there was only one death.
The cultivation of sugar is the princi-
pal source of wealth, and some of the
planters have become rich. A couple

U. 8. Consul some Is or 20 years ago,
has just sold out his plantation and will
bring away 500, 200.
The reciprocity treaty between the
islands and the United States has been
in existence four years and still has
three years to run. 1t is of great adj
vantage to both countries and should
by all means be renewed. as the United
States in particular should not leopard

other powers, as it would be should the
existing treaty be abrogated or allowed
to expire.
There are about 10000 Chinese on
the islands. Except for their labor
they are of no use or advantage to the
country.
Before the Chinese came to the islands
there was no necessity for locks and
bolts to protect property. Good order
prevails and the laws are strict, but the
country nevertheless is an isolated
place to live in, as there is very little

4 Letter from General MelikOff.

BURDETrE, of the Hawkeye. has re-
ceived the following characteristic let
ter from General Melikoff. In explain
alton of the familiar style in which the
letter is couched, says the New York
Graphic, it should be said that Burdette
and the Russian factotum once spent
six months together in jail at Honolulu
on trumped-up charge of having at
tempted to assassinate Queen Emma by
suddenly pounding Chinese gong at
her bedroom door at midnight. They
both got off at last on plea of habitual
lying and emotional insanity:

and said it was enough to kill him; and
instructed me to do something. So l
fixed it all up, and when the Gar was
coming down the front stairs sprung

awful clip with bolster. Somebody
else hit him in the face with q snow
ball, we threw him through the glass
doors of the conservatory, poured tub

his hands cheerfully while the doctor
was FASTING court plaster all over him,

Where has his baby gomez
A ship went sailing seaward:
Has she been smuggled OnS
Papa has lost his babyi
Where can mis- baby be?
Perhaps some wind has caught her
And whisked her up tree.
Papa has lost his baby,
His baby's pretty laugh,
And all that broken prattle,
He understood but half.
What has become Of baby1
Does anybody know?
What cruel thing induced her
To leave her papa 80?
Why, she's become lady,
A lady very grand,
With all the airs and graceS
OF any in the land.
She don't care any longer
To sit In papa'e lap;
Why, she has walked q fortnight,
And met with NO mishap.
She don't want any riding,
To-day, on papa's knee;
To see her feign importance,
You'd think her some grandee.
So papa's lost his baby
He feels it every hour:
But then you know it's certain
The bud must grow q flower.

OF papa's baby dear:
She's grown to be lady,
And it's very, very queer.

Play Gently, Boys!

WHILE waiting for lady on whom I
called the other day, to come in, I look
ed through photOgraph-album which
was lying upon the table.
The face of young lad was SO bright
and happy, I looked at it long time.
The eye was large and very clear, the
brow broad and smooth. 1t was just
one of those faces that go with pleas
ant manner and a voice with CHEEKY
ring in it. When the lady came in I
turned back to it and asked if he were
her son. The quick tears and the
trembling of her lip gave me the sad
answer before she spoke word.
At length she told me all about it,
and will write it for you:
He was bright and a good boy, al
ways cheerful, pleasant and obedient,
and so was very happy himself and
made his parents very happy.
One bright summer day, he. with
some mates, was playing croQuet under
the trees, when the first school-bell
rang. The mother was sitting by the
window, and saw them quickly put
away the mallets and hasten to school.
Willie looked up and gave her smile
and nod as he passed the window. And
she wondered within herself if it were
a mothers love that made him look so
handsome and so noble to her, or if he
were really the finest-looking boy of
all. And then she thought of all his
goodness and love, and what blessing
he was now to his parents, and what
staff and comfort he would be in the
old age that was creeping on them.
She did not see him again until he
came to tea. He did not eat much-in-
deed there is not much to eat in coun-
try tea, only bread in some form, but
ter, some little relish, and q bit of
cake. He went out after it and lay
down in the hammock under a tree,
and it was nearly dark before he came
in. Then he said:
"Somehow, feel very tired, and my
head aches. I'll go to bed"
''You have played too hard this hot
day, haven't your
II expect so. When I came out of
school some of the fellows were playing
toss-and-pitch, and little stone one of
them threw hit my head, and it made
me blind minute; then it didn't hurt
any, but it aches worse and worse"
The mother examined the head, but
could find no bump, so bathed it all.
He smiled YEARLY, kissed her, and went
to sleep. How little, rather how not
at-all, she dreamed it was her darling
boys last-last kiss!
She told his father and he went up,
but Willie was asleep, and the father
thought he would be "an right in the
morning." and went out.
About an hour after, the mother went
up. He was tossing and turning, and
rocking his head, with low moan,
moan, moan. As she looked, slight
spasm passed over his face. She sent
at once for physician. Soon the dear
child was in fearful spasms, and before
midnight he was dead.
The bone back of and near the ear
was fractured by that tiny stone.
1 was told this more than year ago,
and last week a lady from another town
told me of two brothers playing snow
ball, and one threw bit of ice that
struck the other behind the ear, and he |
lived but twelve hours.
So write in warning to happy, play |
full boys, and close as I began-Psay

 ST.

In the confu- sion patients have been transferred into wards where the attendants are unacquainted with them, or have been transferred to the lower building. Many of the insane were unable to make known their names. Several of the books of registration most ne ded in the investigation cannot be found.
