A Settlement of Lepera.

Honolulu Cor. Minneapolis Tribunel
At Kalawao, on the island of Molokai,
is settlement of lepers, about 500 i'll
number. This dreadful disease, which
is considered to he incurable, Is believed
to ha c been Thought to the island by
the Chinese. 1t is almost entirely con-
fined to the native population, though
there are few whites at the settle
ment. tn the first indication of lep-
rosy the victim is hurried off to Kala
wac, from whence they are never again
permitted to return. 1t is one of the
saddest sights ever beheld to see a
schooner load of these unfortunate be
ings taking leave of their friends and
relatives, knowing that, although tho
distance which separates them will bc
but few miles, yet they are partin :
never to meet again this side Of the
grave.
This course is taken by the govern
ment in hopes that, by isolatins the
lepers. the dread scOurge may be naiy
be stamped out. The contagious charac
ter OF this disease, however, has not
been satisfactorily determined, though
many efforts have been made to that
end A murderer, under sentence of
death, was promised his life if he would
consent to be inc olated with leprosy
the physicians hoping by this to settle
this important question. This Was done
a few months ago, but the disease has
not yet shown itself But this signifies
nothing, as its appearance may be de-
layed from two to seven years.

A Million Millions.

The English billion-a million mill
ions has set Sir enry Bessemer to
calculating. He reckons that billion
seconds have not elapsed since the world
hegan, as they woald reckon 3l,67s
years, Il days, % hours, As minutes
j seconds. A chain of billion SOW
ereigns would pass 73s times around
the globe, or, lying side by side, would
form about the earth a golden zone
twenty-sx feet six inches wide. This
same chain, were it stretched out
straight, would make line fraction
over ls. 32s, 455 miles in. extent. For
measuring height, Sir Lenry chose tor
unit "a single sheet of paper of about

Here is something about fair walker

don't. And yet can't prove that it is
a lie. The shoes were there to substan
tiate it, anyhow, and it really ism t rea-
sonabe that a shoemaker would go to
the trouble and expense of constructing
a pair of good CATERS for the mere pur-
pose of dece wing correspondent. They
stood on his counter, and, taking them
up, | found that they were singularly
weighted. in each toe was Sip OF
lead, like those sometimes put on trot
ting horses 10 make them throw out
their feet freely, while on the inside of
the ankles were small hunks of leather,
similar to the devices for curing horses
of the habit of interfering. -
The shoemaker said: The girl for
whol. made those shoes to order ex-
poets that they will improve her gait.
She has studied the treatment of horses
as TO faults of step, aid her notion is
that toe weights and inter;erers are
what will impart freedom and

Kleptomania.
iDatrnit Eraa Press

Kleptomania is the strangest gift ever
bestowed by civilization upon fallen hu
manity. 1t is product of the highest
and most recent stages of civilization.
Barbarians know nothing of it, they are
not subject TO its insidious attacks. 1t
is neither painful, like gont; infectious,
like measles, nor dangerous, like pneu-
monia. 1t is so treacherous that the
victim himself is not aware he has con-
racted it till accused of theft, and
even then only on being informed of
his sufferings by his lawyer. 1t differs
from all recogniz I'd diseases, inasmuch
as no doctor could ever trace symptoms
of it. 1t was evolved by a clever law
ser from his inner consciousness. which
is as difficult TO get at as the north pole.
Ey "a merciful interposition of fate,
kleptomania oily attacks the wealthy,
who are able to pay for it's treatment.

The Pacific coast people obtain their
supply of Goldfish from the Chaumogiu
islands, nine schooners being about to
sail from San Francisco. The various
firms engaged in the trade have differ
ent places, known only to themsel es,
to which they annually send their YES
sells, and the greatest care is taken TO
keep the good fishing spots secret for
their own benefit. IN every voyage
each Vessel locates the best fishing
grounds, In some years the fish are
abundant in one place, and, being mi
gratory, are scarce in the next year.
The fleet remains in Alaska waters from
two months and half to three months,
visiting all the islands along the south
ern shore of Alaska. The men lea ve
the schooners in small boats, and fish
from 4 o G. ock in the morning until
oclock in the afternoon, The greatest
obstacle to cod fishing is the dense, co!d
fogs that during the season hang over
the island. 80

Possibly no two corps Of either army
made their entrance on the field more
differently than those of Jackson and
Iongstreet a lieutenant OF artil cry
who was at one time in LODgstreets
corps says: ''IOu might be marching
along, not dreaming that you were in
five miles of corporal s guard Of the
enemy, and the first thing that you
knew ongstreet would gallop past, get
in the shade of tree, ana pull out a
pocket map. He wolll loo!s at this
for about i've minutes, and turn to an
officer and tell him to dcploy his men to
the right, or left, as the case might he.
If you happened 10 be one of those de
ployed men you wanted to look ont;
the probabilities were that you would
be in-in less than ten minutes. And
if you were in the infantry, you would
want TO shoot a long time before you
cot the order. onSstreet's men went
into action like a dress parade; they
didn't waste any ammunition: not a
shot did they FIRE until they got close
up They left the long range shooting
for the artillery. Ia. E. I#. s.rr -
But Jackson men, They used TO re-
mind me of a parcel of boys chasing
rabbit they would commence to shoot
and yell as soon as a blue coat got in
sight; aud they generally keptit up un
til they could tell tine color OF their eyes
They would string themselves out over
thirty acres, yelling like fury and all of
a Sudden they would get into some sort
Of form and fire volley or two and
then charge again in that strung-ouf
fashion. A blind man could tell when
.iacksons men were in two miles OF
him if they were fighting. And that's
the way our men, and the others, found
out at first Cold l!arbor that Jackson
wasn't where good many thought lie
was. 4 f 'i #EH.
