Swimming Sandwich Islanders.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Our guide had arranged for an exhibition
of the swimming powers Of the natives, and
upon our arrival we saw several men on the
side of the fall where we took our stand,
while upon the other bank stood six or seven
dusky maidens. The water tumbles over .
series of natural bridges commencing high
up in the mountain range. The main fall
is sheet about twenty yards wide and with
other smaller streams, falls into circular
basin beneath at depth of at least 100 feet.
A series of rude declivities have been cut by
the natives to depth of sixty or seventy
feet, To enable visitors TO witness their watery
eambels. Our party were perfectly aston
ished at the way in which these Kanakas
dispoded themselves in the water. Divested
of all clothing, both men and women would
dive into the basin or pool TO, depth Of thirty
or forty feet. A coin thrown ints the water
would be brought up with the greatest rapid
ity. Some Of the girls took up apositisn on
q rock which. to judge by the eye measure
ment, was at least sixty feet high, and jum-
ped into the basin with their bodies In q
rigid position. Others again ascended to
the top of the fall and came down with the
water In its descent. No small wonder,
indeed, that the Kanakas are able to con-
suer the sharks, which they do by getting
under their belly and ripping 1t opsn.

THE PRoSPECToRS.


Pen Pictures of Two Distinct Types.
The old-time, genuine prospector feels
thoroughly equipped for the season II he
possesses q slab of bacon, few pounds Of
-four, little sugar, coffee, tobacco, and an
old pick and shovel. If he has pack ami
NAL, all right; if he hasn't all the same.
And thus outfitted he scales the mountains,
swims rivers, and skins the plains for
months, happy as a stuffed goat. And it's
his pluck and bone and sinew that bring to
light the mineral wealth of mother earth.
But there Is another prospector Of quite diff
ferent characteristics, who Is met with too
often in this country. 1t costs all Of three
hundred dsllars Cor more) to properly outfit
him. He requires q thoroughbred horse,
two pack animals, . mattress, six pair Of
blankets, a feather pillow, dressing case with
toilet soaps and perfumery, a gold chronom-
eter, magnifying glass, chemicals, library Of
scientific works, silk stockings, five gallons
fourth-proof brandy, two silver-mounted re-
volvers and a needle gun, fishing tackle, half
dozen cheviot shirts, caIleo cuff buttons and
studs, ETC., etc. And thus rigged he spins
out the merry summertime prospecting
along streams where fish bite the best, sink
ing holes only where trees cast sooling
shade, and always found waiting for the
water to fall SO as to ford the food without
wetting his feet. He returns In the fall
without having discovered anything Of course
but knows just where 70 strike 1t next sea-
season.

Two Esthetic Flowers.
Oscar Rude,s Lecture.

You have heard, have no doubt, at least
few words about two flowers connected
with the aesthetic movement In England.
[Laughter.] The flowers, assure ysu, are
enormously supposed to be the suitable food
Of some aesthetic young men. Let ne tell
you the reason we love the lily and the sun
flower. It Is not Mr.. Gilbcrt's reason.
[Laughter.] It has nothing to do with q
vegetable passion at all. II IL because these
two lovely flowers, Of all our flowers in En-
gland, are the most perfect models Of de-
sign, the most naturally adapted for decora-
tive art. The gaudy, leonine beauty Of the
one, and the chaste and precious lsveliness
Of the other, give to The artist the most en-
tire and perfect joy, and see that you let

MORPHIOMANlA.
The New Horror OF the Hypodermic
Syringe.
London Truth.

London Truth.
When physicians discovered that pain
could be subdued by inserting under the
skin q small pointed instrument provided
with tube containing morphia, they little
thought that they were paving the way for q
new vice. Yet SO 1t was. There are, In our
merry England, beings who are as wholly
under the domination Of morphia, as ever
was Chinese under that Of opium. Woman
have yielded by degrees to Its fatal fascina-
ton, until at last they prick the skin doz-
en- times q day with the tiny syringe that
has such terrible results. The operation is
almost painless; the immediate effects pleas
ant. A delicious ianguor supervenes.
Happy Thoughts and bright imaginations
fll the mind. Some see beautiful visions;
Others feel only q pervsding sensation OF
comfort and well being. On few the effect
of norphia is to excite some intellectual
effort, If effort that can be called which Is
pure delight, glorious feeling Of untram-
meled power, of uncrippled exercise Of the
highest faculties. 1t is as though the mind
had suddenly developed wings. But OF the
very hight OF the enchantment the influence
Of the msrphia begins to subside. The
glory fades. The wings trail and the feet
that are their sorry substitute becoming
weighted as with lead. As withthe workers
40 with the dreamers. The visions are OBJ
scured. The sensation Of comfort gives way
to one Of discomfort, irritation, even pain.
The mental vision that had just now looked
through q rosy mist sees all things through
a Grape veil or November fog. Can 1t be
wondered at that the dose Is renewed, that
the poison Is absorbed again and again, that
the intervals become shorter between the
reign of the potent drug?
And the end? The punishment is indeed
terrible. BY degrees the mind becomes
darkened. Hideous hallucinations seize
upon II. Selfcontrol il lost. Inbecility
overtakes the weak. Madness threatens tbs
strong.
These are the personal consequences.
There are others to be bequeathed TO sons
and daughters and to later generations.
These can be guessed 1t. The new vice has
not reigned sufficiently long for the world 10
have seen them exemplifed, but dark array
OF possibilities suggests itselfbut too readily.
The heritage of insanity, Of inebriety, Of
imbecility, will In future be traced back to
those tiny tubes which hold but drop OF
two, and to which men snce looked as to q
blessed means Of relieving pain, forgetting
blessings and curses go hand In hand In q
crooked world. Dipsomsnia has now a
powerful rival, speedier in Its results than
Its own revolving process, and eventually as
degrading. The name Of the later born
sister flend is morphiomania.

10 ne EQIOr eT me ECeiang CTittc:
On the 23d OF December last, through your
Kindness in lending the use OF your valuable
columns, took occasion to call the attention of
whose province It is TO attend TO public matters,
10 two pumps that were badly out Of repair.
One OF these pumps Is located on Eleventh,
near q street northwest, hitherto we'll known
10 the public, or at least TO the neighborhood
where 1t Is located, as a'pump productive of
most excellent water. The other pump was
located ON the corner Of Third street and
Massachusetts avenue northwest, and the
water that IL produced was also equally good,
and as stated before, a treasure to tho neigh.
borhood.
Probably the impression exists on the mind
Of some OF your readers that these pumps have
long since been attended to by the authorities
and put in proper repair and working condi-
uon. But no; nothing Of the kind has been
done, neither by the District Commissioners
nor anyone else, excepting that the pump on
Massachusetts avenue has, within the past
few weeks, disappeared altogether, after hav
ing been neglected and let remain In a useless
condition for about four years.
The pump on Eleventh, near G street, has
row been out of repair, with worn-out or de
fective sucker, for about four months, l sup
pose this one also, In course of time, will bt
removed. Whether this sort of vandalism
which has been going on for many years, Il
water company or the ice companies or botl
is left for the reader to consider and deter
mine.
This system Of non-attention to the pump!
and letting them fall into wreck and ruin is
novel way Of increasing the water supply o

i notice in report OF the proceedings
OF the School Board resolution de-
manding "that in future the preparation
Of plans for new buildings be placed
entirely under the control OF the District
Commissioners and the School Board, and pro-
testing against the interference OF outside par
ties" This is modest, to say the least. Here
are body OF men, owing their of1lces TO the
commissioners, solemnly resolving that the
Commissioners and themselves ought TO be
supreme. The pretension would do honor to
the Gar of all the Russias. The right of petit
ton is dismissed, with q wave OF the hand, as
relic of barbarism. Parents and people are
stigmatized as outsiders. What right have
they TO interfere They are rude disturbers
Of the official quiet.
True, Mr.. Dent and his School Board were
foisted upon the people of this District without
their consent, and, think / am correct in say
ing, against their wishes. The acts of these
officials have not been such as to challenge
extravagant admiration, and yet twould seem
that the dearest right OF a parent, the right to
interest himself in matters affecting the edu-
cation OF his child, is officially denounced by
these men as an offense, and he, for exercising
that right, is denounced as an "outsider."
Verify, one would think the world was revolv-
Ing backward. What is 1t that our Caesars
have been feeding upon that they have grown
so great Must the people OF the District de

selves from insult and oppression

The pastor deserves much credit for his
earnest and faithful efforts 10 promote revi-
val In this church, and TO remove the burden
OF debt which has pressed the society 50
heavily. 1t is gratifying TO witness the degree
OF success which has crowned his efforts.
DR.. McCabe, the secretary OF the board OF
church extension, is In the city, and 1t is moro
than probable that the pastor will have glad
tidings for the congregation next Sunday
morning. II is very much to be desired that
all persons who have at any time been con-
nected with the congregation be there next
Sunday at eleven O'Clock. X.
