The second experiment was one of
the greatest difficulty-that Of watching
the soul itself take flight. The friends
of dying men would not allow and in
deed it would have been delicate mat
ter to ask it, Hospitals afforded oppor-
tunties. but physicians and attendants
had no faith in the experiments of the
quiet gentleman, whom they no doubt
alluded to as a Crank" so for nearly a
year he was waiting and watching for a
man ready to die.
The opportunity came at last con-
sumptive wanderer from the east sought
refuge in the western air. He fell PEN

authorities to the county poor house
when Mr.. Holland interposed and had
him removed to his home, to nurse and
watch him die. Through many long
hours Of the night Mr.. Holland sat by
the bedside Of his charge, tanning the
spark Of life lest it should go out in the
night when all efforts at the experiment
would be lost, and leaving orders by day
with his wife to call him the mcmeLt
the patient seemed to be diving.
THE WAY 1T is DONE.
The fated moment came about 10
o'clock yesterday morning. Stretched
upon low bed, with the death rattle in
his throat, lay Young man of perhaps
q years of age. Mr.. Holland quietly
motioEed the correspondent to seat
and continued watching the features of
the dying man with silent interest.
Presently he arose and adjusted the cur.

from the window upon the dying man.

They say: that the Press didn't
come out late yesterday morning on
account of strike that the men who
said so were mistaken or were wrongly
informed; that the Opera troupe will
give another good show tonight in
spite Of untoward criticism that the
circus has taken tumble that the
ladies will get up an ice cream sociable
to show folks that hot day can some
times become cold one and get left !;
that the advertising patronage of this
town will increase when the papers in
crease their circulation; that the best
way to make "fat" is on credit that
the Adavytisey boys are best crowd in
tonw that the PREssis too outspoken for
Honolulu that the girls intend giving
lawn parties, provided the young gen

sociables will be in the right way when
they become more popularity known to
strangers ; that the opium raids will
create Juror in the future that the
Honolulu Boat Club will not enter
senior crew for very good reasons !;
that the coming Of another Opera
troupe, depends entirely upon the ex-
pectations and the pay of Honolulu
audience and that the man who runs
newspaper to make it pay will be
obliged to conciliate 40 different
classes Of people.

In the British Medical Journal DR.. w.
Roberts. of England, discusses the effect
Of liquors, tea, coffee and cocoa on diges-
tion. All of them retard the chemical
processes, but most ofthem stimulate The
glandular activity and muscular contrac-
tions. Distilled spirits retard the salivary
or peptic digestion but slightly when spar
ingly used.
Wines were found to be highly iijuri-
ons to salivary digestion. On p+ptic di-
gestion all wines exert retariing infiu-
ence. They stimulate the glandular and
muscular activity Of the stomach. Eff
fervescent wines exert the greatest
amount of good with the least harm to di
gestion. When ones digestion is out of
order everything goes awry, unless, as in
the case of T. T. Seals, of BeLaire, Ohio,
who had bad dyspepsia for seven years,

DEAD LETTERS.

There is always melancholy interest
attached to the dead letters-those my
rlads of missives, representing every phase
interest, that go astray and are lost upon
the desert air of the Post Office Depart
ment. Those that contain sentiment are
burned. Those that contain valuables
are kept and in due time the "janitor"
sorts and classities these tangible things
and puts them up at auction. The sale
usually takes place in Washington just
before the holidays 1t affords nice op-
portunity for cranky people to secure
cheap holiday gifts.
We have before us catalogue of dead
letter valuables to be disposed of by Auc-
tioneer Bowling on the 18th Of Decem-
Der. The list is study. The story of
tender love, Of crushed hopes and disap-
pointments that it tells is really touching.
The pages are crowded with the little Of
terings that make childhood happy. Here
a doll, there a pair of infants socks, ba-
by's shoes, little crib quilt, knit hood
thousands of simple birthday presents,
perhaps, that never reached the little OBJ
jects of love. This is the pathetic side.
But what is to be thought of package
81? Here we have large fiat steel file,
cheap washing machine, two stove-plate
lifters and buck-saw blade" This demon
strates in q feeble way the use that is
made of [ ncle Sans mails. Page after
page of the eighty y-page catalogue is dec
Grated with such entries as "small elec-
trio battery" sea Shells" "calco sun
bonnets," gents old damaged flannel
shirt !" and "self cooking revolver" In
one gem of package We find "two small
sewing machines, broken thermometer,
small damaged electric battery" There
is everything, from fishing hook to
house keeping outft-everything, in fact,
save a cooking stove. We search in vain
for this useful domestic article and as
sumo that no ingenious citizen has yet
discovered how g cooking-stove can be
wrapped up in brown paper and shipped
as third.class mail matter
OF books there is no end, and here the
attendant at Mr.. Dowling's sale who has
a literary turn of mind will find his re-
ward. Everything in common literature
is mentioned in this list from "Robinson
Crusoe" to the Waverly Novels. Books
and periodicals rank with articles of wear
ing apparel in the Dead Letter list.
And how much of romance there is in
this droll catalogue.

"A woman, accompanied by three

showed that she was the commander Of

shoulders. Tire other two were stationed
