Hawaii...Sandwich Islands.

Hawaii, being wholly volcanic, looks
like fortress ninety miles long, built
up by the genii. Yet, dreary as it is,
| or seems from the sea, it is really full
of green pastures, on which feed wild
cattle, the descendants of those brought
in by Vancouver, and owned by ranch
men, to the tune of ten and fifteen
heads apiece, in runs of twenty miles
long. 1t must have been sad to stand
by and see a forest burned up like SO
many matches, and another with the
trees snapped off at the surface of the
fire-hood, the portion imbedded in the
lava being burned to dust, and leaving
SERIES of pock-marks on the hardened
surface. One night in 1852, it seemed
as If solitary star was shining on the
Mauna Loa, at spot afterward found
| to be four thousand feet below the
summit. After the second evening it
seemed to die away, but soon burst
out again with amazing splendor, no
longer star, but column of fire
seven hundred feet high by angular
measurement, and from two hundred
to three hundred feet broad, which
was visible one hundred miles off, and
the ashes and chared leaves from
which, covered the decks of approach
ing ships. The lava stream was Visi-
ble thirty miles off; and in twenty days
there had been thrown up a cone a
mile round at the base and four hun
dred feet high, which is standing to
this day. The weird beauty of the
cOlor-changes was something past be-
lief. Issuing white-hot from the era
ter, the lava changed first to light,
then to deep red, then to glossy gray,
with shining black patches, every tint
intermingled in constant movement,
and very cataract of sparks falling
from the fire pillar.
In 1866 there was yet greater erup-
tion, from (which the town of Hilo
narrowly escaped. One strange episode
was when a cataract of lava poured
over a precipice into very deep rock
basin, in which big ship might have
aoated. The water was all driven off
in steam. the basin filed up, and the
preciPice changed into a glently slop
ing plane. Months after it was hid
eous sight to see this lava stream,
about fifty miles from its source, slug
gishly twisting about in vast coils,
whose lustrous metallic surface was
scanned with red, showing the uncooled
stream below, while every now and
then the glistening crust which hung
over this tire-stream caved in just as
eats ice' breaks and shows the water
underneath it.

Avoid Wrinkles.

A wrinkle, once made, is indelible;
it has come to stay. There is no such
thing as wiping out wrinkles. In men
they are often honorable evidence of
hard mental labor; in women they are
usually evidence of coming age, al
though care and suffering have much
to do with them. Sometimes fair fore
heads are prematurely wrinkled from
nervous habit of eleyating the eye
brows, and from too great and too
constant pressure of the pillow on one
or both sides of the head while Sleep
ing. And just here comes fact worth
remembering. If the forehead has es-
capped wrinkles, crows feet are prema-
turely seen about the corners of the
eyes. We all see the crows feet in
men and women whose brows are
smooth and young looking. They are
the result of sleeping on the right and
left sides. The pressure upon the
temple and cheek leaves wrinkles at
the corners and underneath the eyes
which disappear in a few hours, but
finally become so fixed that neither
hours nor ablutions will abate them.

Cure for Hydr0phObia.

The Continental Times, of Geneva,
Switzerland, SAYS: 1t is some time since
we mentioned the successful treatment
of hydrophobia 10y garlic, that DIR. Percy
ra Dias, of Oporto, tried on nine indi-
viduals bitten by mad dogs in the year
1892 The subject has been brought for
ward by NJ. Eugene Gayot, who strongly
advises that a remedy, easily obtained
aud applied, should not be neglected.
The manner in which il was discovered,
according TO Mr. Gayot, was this: A
young peasant having been bitten by a
rabid dog, his parents, unable to bear
the sight of his torments shut him up
in room which contained several bun
dies of freshly gathered garlic. In his
rage the sufferer bit and tore at it, be-
ing the only thing within his reach, and
having swallowed large quantity, he
was cured. In SO fearful a malady and
one that has hitherto resisted all medi-
cal treatment, no means should be left
untried to find a remedy. The treat
ment by garlic consists Of washing the
wound in cold water and applying the
garlic pounded During eight days
sixty grammes of decoction Of one
Glove of garlic boiled in $50 grammes
of water until the liquid is diminished
TO 500 grammes, is TO be administered,
each day the patient is to eat two cloves
of garlic with a little bread Should
hydrophobia declare itself, he must chew
garlic until the madness be calmcd.

Legitimate Work.

Talking about laboring women, l
wish it were in my power to persuade
young girls who wonder what they
shall do to earn their living, that it is
really better to choose some business
that is in the line of woman's natu-
raj work. There is great repugnance
at the thought Of being a servant, but
girl is no less servant to the man
who owns the shop where she stands
all day behind the counter than she is
where she waits upon the table or
cooks the dinner in pleasant house :;
and to my mind there would not he a
minutes question between the two
ways of going out to service. The
wages are better, the home is better,
the freedom and liberty are double in
one what they are in the other. If,
instead of the sham service that is
given by ignorant and really overpaid
servants to-day, sensible New England
girls who are anxious to be taking care
Of themselves and earning good wages
would fit themselves at the cooking
schools, or any way they found ayaila-
ble, they would not long wait for en-
ployment and would be valued i'm
mensely by their employers. When
one realizes how hard it is to find good
women for every kind of work in our
houses, and what prices many rich peo-
pie are more than willing to pay if
they can be well suited, it is a wonder
more girls are not ready to seize the
chances. 1t is because such work has
been. almost always so carelessly and
badly done, that it has fallen into dis
repute, and the doers of it have taken
such low rank. Nobody takes the
trouble to fit herself properly, but
women trust to being taught and find
ing out their duties after they assume
such positions, not before

Mr.. CHARLES w. MORRIS, eagle" Office,
Pittsfeld, Mass, writes, May 25, 1888: I" For
several months my wife's mother Mrs. Amy
BoyCe) had been in n very Trecarious cCnti-
tion with dropsy or Brigat's disease of the
kidneys, and having used all methods and
measures for her restoration In the line OF
treatment by our leading physicians, and
having failed to benefit her, her family de-
SPARED of seeing her relieved, and gave her
up to die. Happening to run across the teS-
hmony of a Mrs. Dawley, who had been cured
of similar sickness by using Hunts Remedy,
we at once procured bottle of it, and com
me1ced giving it as directed. After using it
three days she was so far improved th9t SIZE
could set from her bed TO her chair without
assistance Ga circumstance that had not hap
Iened for months). Previous to taxing it
she WAS troubled more or less with short
breath, requiring a continuous tanning 20
keep her alive. This gradually improved as
we continued the use of Hunts Remedy, and
on the fourth bottle she was able to set up all
day. She was bloated terribly in both limbs
and body upward to the lungs. The tenth
day the bloating left her bowels, and now she
is not swollen above the knees. Her kidneys
were very bad at the time, discharges being
of bloody character and emitting sieken-
ing odor. / can say that the change in her
case has been wonderful, and Hunt Remedy
has worked a miracle In her."
