The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the grayest maladies Of the throst
and lungs, is considerat tion which should
tmpel every prudent person to keep at

AYER'SfCHERRYP PECTORAL.
Nothing else gives such fmmed diate relief
and works so sure cure In all affections
of this class. That eminent physician.
Prof. =. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says:-
"Medical science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectorant 80 good as sAYER's CHHR1Y

ST have never found in thirty.fyc years OF
continuous study aud practice of medicine, any
preparation Of so great value rs AYER's CHERRr

and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything elso in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary atectons.s

OUR PUBLIC CHARITABLE INSTITU-
TIONS.

Few people have an adequate concep-
ton of the amount of money expended
by this country in the maintenance Of
public institutions for the treatment of
sick and destitute persons, and in gen
eral sanitary work Mr. Gibson. Presi-
dent Of the Board Of Health, stated in
his address at the opening of Kapiolani
Home, that one-tenth Of the entire
revenue Of the country was applied to
these humane objects, but beyond this
private contributions to a large amount
annually supplement the public expendi-
ture. The total appropriation for the
Board OF Health in the last biennial
period was $264 800 This sum may be
taken as an average of previous appro-
priatiOns, and is extremely liberal
1t may be mentioned in this connec-
ton that $55,57 80 was expended on
the Insane Asylum, from March 81 q,
1873, to November l, 1889. There are
now seventy-five inmates in the Lunatic
Asylum, cared for by the public This
is undoubtedly heavy drain upon the
taxpayers. The Queens Hospital, the
noblest institution in the Kingdom, and
one OF the best conducted hospitals
to be found anywhere, is maintained
by voluntary contributions, the hos
pital tax and Government appro-
priations, which have been lightly
drawn upon. From the foundation
of the Queens Hospital, twenty
six years ago, to November l.,
1885, 1898, 31l rs has been disbursed in
connection with that institution. This
is a very large sum, and the fact that 50
much money has been expended for
hospital purposes in Honolulu is entirely
creditable to the community, when it is
also remembered that the calls upon
private benevolence have been both
urgent and frequent.

A PECULIAR ART INDUSTRY.
Modelling in Pulp which Afterward r

philadelphia Timesl -
A peculiar industry is carried on at the
New Central theatre during the time the
house has been closed. A young artist
James Franck, hss been engaged in pro-
ducing papier mache plaques and panels
to be used throughout the country for
advertising purposes. The process, while
not exactly novel, has never before been
applied to such practical uses, and it is
the latest instance of how art has been
subserved to business purposes. The work
can be given the appearance of number
of substances such as stone, metal, or
wood. and some of it is of high grade of
excellence.
The studio or workshop is situated up
in the flies The materials are few in
number, exclusive of those used in fin,
ishing, being simply clay, plaster of Paris.
and rough brown paper, such as is used
in hardware stores for wrapping pur-
poses The clay employed in the first or
artistic stage of the work, In modelling of
duced in papier mache. The plaster of
Paris is used to make the molds and the
paper is the basis of the finished product
The design being made in clay, the plaster
is poured over it, and what might be
called a negative produced. Upon each
of the negatives or mods the paper is
built up until pSoper thickness has been
secured linen the pup Is allowed 10 Dry
in the sun or is dried by means of artif-
cial heat, when it is removed from the
mold. At this stage it appears like rough
stamped leather After the edges have
been trimmed and surface smoothed
paints and bronzed powders are applied
until the desired effects are produced.
The work throughout requires great
skill and in the first and last stages
artistic talent of no small order. The
laying of the paper is the simplest por
ton of the process.
The artist having to produce copies in
high relief and his molds being of very
uneven surface, begins by filling in the
sharp outlines with small pieces of paper
which have been soaked in water unit
they are in q pulpy condition. The
whole surface of the mold is filled with
one thickness of this paper. a stiff brusI
or small tool being used to press 1t into
the finer parts \cXt coating oil ryc

paper This is continued until the thick
ness of about an eighth of an irch has
been secured. after which the material IS
allowed to dry, when it can be removed,

painted, bronzed, and otherwise 0rna

presents the solid appearance of metal or

Odors Of the Body.

in some individuals, although it is less
common in civilized than in savage
people

WHAT THE CHIMNEY SANG.

Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted melody no one knew
And the woman stopped as the babe she
tossed,
And thought of the one she had long
since lost,
And said, as her tear-drops back she
forced,
81 hate the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted a melody no one knew;
And the children said, as they closer
drew,
"'Tis some witch that is cleaving the
black night through
'Tis Il fairy trumpet that just then blew,
And we fear the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted a melody no one knew;
And the man, as he sat ON his hearth be-
low,
Said to himself, at will surely snow,
And fuel is dear and wages low,
And I'll stop the leak in the chimney
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted melody no one knew
But the poet listened and smiled, for he
Was man, and woman, and child, al
three,
And he said, at is Gods own harmony,
This wind that sings in the chimney.
