apathy OF the natives in regard to leprosy is one
of the most difficult things for the officers and
medical men of the country to contend against
The natives do not believe the disease con-
tagous, they have no fear and loathing of a
ieper. Ii member of family is attacked with
the malady his friends try TO conceal him to
prevent his being taken from them and sent to
the dreaded settlement on Molokai They eat
with him, smoke from the same pipe and sleep
with MN. Thus, in this close and daily inti-
macy, the disease is transmitted until the won
der is that the number of victims is small.
The medical fraternity Of the islands differ in
their opinions in regard to the nature of leprosy.
While some contend that it is but an agra
fourth stage of syphilis, others, and perhaps
the larger and more enlightened portion, con-
slider 1t an entirely distinctive malady whose
LESSONS and pathological conditions bear no re-
semoance to those of syphilis The
attempt on the part of some writer's
to identify Hawaiian leprosy with the
white, scaly leprosy of the Asiatics Is
unwarranted. They are entirely distinct IN their
character and appearances, and should never be-
come COMPOUNDED in the public mind. Segrega.
ton Is without doubt the only safe method OF
dealing with leprosy AS long as lepers are at
large the danger to the community is great, not
that leprosy is contagious in the general accepta-
ton OF the term, but there are so many ways IN
which the disease may be contracted that one is
never safe while lepers walk the street. And in
country whose people maintain this apathetic
and foolish attitude in regard to the disease,
only the sternest and most rigid measures on the
part OF the government can avail to stamp out
this canker that is surely and rapidly sarplng
the life blood of the Hawaiian nation.

"Yanity of Yanities."

VANITY of vanities;" the world is full of SIM
The pot of evil boiling all the time;
The big man and the little in breathess haste to
win
His eagle. Or his dollar his dime
And yet though DER this desert waste the winds of
evil blow
There's many a cheerful glimmer shining out above
the
thousand traps and pitfalls lie about every day,
Temptations and decisions by the score;
The nabob in his sefshness rolls by us on the way
The poor often bangs his cottage door,
And yet there's compensation. Every clumsy mortal
Who grasps hornet by its sting, hedgehog by its
spines.
Amid the selfish thousands there are hundreds true
and kind,
With many noble features that redeem;
The toughest ore has value if it be but we'll refined
And men mostly better than they seem;
If looking out for brambes you to find tleir
darts;
Perhaps you'll be lucky if you closely look for hearts
For after all is uttered, we but find tina. which we
seek
The searcher after weaknesses will find;
Go listen and you'll wonder at the kind words morals
speak.
No beauties have message for the blind;
The world is but mirror and within neighbors
face
We see our soul reflected in its ugliness or grace.
Vanity of yanities, the world is full of sin,
But also full of sunshine and Of flowers;
The who works for happiness its smile will surely
win
The man who seeks shall find his sunny hours;
So tarnst the little barriers of it's selfshness aside
And find the hidden blessings lying under all its prde
The sun is always somewhere, and the good old world
is wide.

BISHOP TAYLOR.s VENTURE.
Periious Missionary Expedition Under the
Leadership of a Lunatic.


Leadership of a Lunatic.
New York Times.
The American consul at Sierra Leone has
written to the State Department concerning a
band of forty American missionaries who pro-
pose to journey thousand miles into the
interior to convert the natives.
This is the band led by an alleged bishop and
undoubted crank, who some time ago attracted
attention by announcing that he intended to
teach the Africans sort of phonetic writing in
order that while they should be able to read
good books printed in accordance with his
phonetic system, they would be unable to read
inhdel and demoralizing books printed in En-
glish He has with him many women and a
large number of children, some of whom are
mere infants. A madier project than that of
marching these women and children into the
heart of Africa was never conceived.
1t is with the utmost difficulty that we'll armed
parties can make their way through the terri
tories of the savage African tribes, and only the
strongest men, acclimated by previous residence
in Africa, can resist the pestilential climate.
Fully three fourths of the heroic men who have
undertaken the work of African exploration
have fallen victims 70 the fevers and those who
have survived and returned to civilization have,
with scarcely an exception, brought back with
them shattered constitutions.
OF the forty persons who are to be led into the
wilderness by the Crank in question it is doubt
full if single one escapes the murderous saw
ages through whom Stanley fought his way on
his journey down the Congo. If remnant
does survive to reach the proposed mission
field it is very certain that not one of the women
or children will be among them. These helpless
people will die like sheep of the deadly coast
fever. and the only consolation will be that they
will escape the hardship and starvation which
must be endured by those who survive.
1t was impracticable for our own government
TO forbid these people TO leave shores. but il
may be possible for the American consuls in
Africa to throw such obstacles in their way as
will prevent them from attempting to carry out
their purpose. 1t would be quite proper to treat
them as lunatics and to ship them home by the
first vessel That the leader is lunatic of a
very dangerous kind is evident

When art met insult with no laws redress;
When Law itself insulted Righteousness,

The shade of Shakespeare, with averted face,
Withdrawn to uttermost oblivion.

How the Girls Are Taught to skate.


Philadelphia Times.
Wherever the professor is seen skating ha
is almost certain to have pretty girl, whom he
supports with scientific balance peculiar to the
expert alone. 1t is not tiresome exercise, and
almost any one can skate several hours without
fatigue. The Kinks are open all day, as well az
at night, and 1T is very common occurrence for
young girl to 90 to rink with young man
at o'clock in the afternoon and skate continu-
ousy until or 6. During all that time he holds
both her hands, one of his arms braces her in
front, above the waist, and they lean upon
and brush each other with every swaying mo-
ton. The position Is difficult and has to
be learned The man with the girl on his
right puts her left arm in front of him and holds
il firmly as brace, with her left hand in his
left hand. His right arm no puts through under
the elbow of her left arm and with her right
hand in his right hand she holds his arm against
her as brace. Thus braced and shoulder to
shoulder they move we'll together, the mans
right foot following between hers and her left
between his, each intermediating Either some
young man or one OF the attendants puts on the
girls skates and straps them and takes them of
again. and also adjusts the high ankle corsetss
when they are worn. AS rule when young
man meets a girl at a rink and skates with her.
he winds up tho evening by treating her' at
some of the numerous drinking places ard res
taurants that have sprung up adjacent to these
places.
