For some time past government Of.
fcals in the Sandwich Islands have
been unusually active in gathering lep-
ers and sending them to the settlement
on Molokai island, and thereby have
reused the enmity of the afflicted rela-
tves, who have taken to posting incen-
diary notices in CONSPICUOUS places,
threatening to fire plantations II the Of.
fcers did not desist of robbing them Of
those held dear. Unlike Oriental races,
Hawaiians cling to Representatives, to the
end, even though the stricken one be
hideous beyond conception, and hardly
recognizable as human.

From Akron, Ohio Consumption Cured.

Akron Ono,
DIX. J. II. ScHENcK; Feb 18th, 1881.
Dear Sir-Having been asked by many in regard
to your medicines and the benefit had received
from them, have concluded to give you an account
Of my case. In the Winter OF 1873 ! was pro-
nounced an inourabe Consumptive by every physi-
clan in this place, as well several in Cleveland.

debility and loss OF flesh | was reduced in weight
from one hundred and fifty pounds to eighty
pounds had given up all hope Of recovery, when
! was told by MIR. James Seaman that he had
used your medicines with good effect, and he ad-
vsed me TO give them trial, although do not
think he believed they would cure me, for | was so
sick at this time that no one thought that would
ever get well. | thought, however, that they might
give me temporary relief, and with this object |
commenced TO use your Pulnonic Syrup, had not
taken il two days before felt great relief, espec-
tally in the severity Of my cough | then took the
Mandrake Pills and Seaweed Tonic, and in two
weeks my appetite came back, and began to gain
strength. ] took your medicines for about three
months. ! was too sick TO do any kind Of work for
two years. Your medicines made a perfect cure
and have been in good health ever since. do
not know that can say than this, unless il be
that believe your medicines TO be good and that
they will do all that you say they will do.

Railroad Ties.

Few people have any idea OF the
enormous demand for cross-ties for the
rail roads of the United States. 1t is es-
timated by competent judges that it
takes yearly 200, 1000 acres of forest to
supply this demand, no less than $1,000,
600 being used annually for which on
an average the contractors get 30 cents
apiece, making in the aggregate S.
$50, 900. In building new road the
contractors figure on 200 ties to the
mile, while it takes 800 ties to the mile
to keep constructed road in repair.
The average of a good piece of timber
land is 200 trees to the acre and twelve
ties to the tree. White or burr oak is
considered the best timber for the pur-
pose, although cherry, maple, ash, and
even locust have been used. The
business gives employment to an army
of choppers, who are paid 10 cents a.
piece for each tie. A single man has
been known to get out IS ties in day,
yes the average is only 10, while an ex-
pert will probably get out 20.

SQueakY Boots.

If boots squeak. there is no time
when they do it with such persistency
and yigor as on Sunday. when the
owner is passing up the church aisle to
his pew And the more carefully he
goes and on tiptoe, the noisier they are.
The New York Herald has entered into
campaign against squeaky boots, and
the result is number OF communica-
tons suggesting various remedies. Zone
Who Has Tried It'' and sympathy"
agree that the best plan is to have
shoemaker put some powdered soap
stone between the outer and inner soles
However, this should be done before the
boots are made, and the suggestion is
worthless in the case of boots which
have already been ordered, paid for and
entered upon their career Of squeak
ness. ENVY" hits the case of existing
boots and shoes, with his suggestion
ito bore two small holes, one inch
apart and one-sixteenth of an inch in
depth, in the center of the sole Of each
shoe. Then fill each hole with drop
OF two of sweet oil and let it soak well
into the shoe before using II the shoe
still squeaks repeat the remedy; sque-
ky shoe always succumbs to the second
dose of sweet OIL" "B.G.O." gives the
philosophy of the squeak, and writes:
"Squeaky shoes are caused by the vacu-
um between the insole and the outsole.
Treading on the sole of shoe forces
tho air out of the vacuum, which pro-
duces the sound we call squeak. The
proof of this is that so-called turned
Shoe having no insole, forms no
vacuum, therefore does not squeak.
A piece of muslin or other similar ma
terial, gummed on both sides. which
will adhere to the inner and outer sole,
thus filling the vacuum, will, of neces-
sity, prevent squeaking. This applies
to shoes in process of making. Now, as
to those which are already made--tbree
or four pegs or brads driven in the outer
sole, between the shank and the toe,
will close the vacuum and prevent the
squeak" The latter suggestion APP
pears TO have spice of mischief in it.
Unless great care was exercised in in
serting the pegs, the wearer would soon
wish that he had the squeak back
again.

reception of relics and the care of the
museum of the Lime Kiln Club, report
ed that some fiend had entered the room

He had placed the case in the hands of
