The taro -four, while cheaper in price
than handmade Poi, Is also more economi-
cal, in that it can be kept on hand for a
long time. This Is great advantage, as it
is we'll known that the ordinary piai

faCture.
The medical profession of these Islands
have for years recognized the supreme i'm
portance of Poi for the sick and GONZALES
cent, especially in cases where stomach,
from whatever cause, cannot retain nour-
ishment When health has been repaired
by overwork, mental or physical, and in
cases where the nervous system has been
debilitated by excessive indulgence in
stimulents or narcotics nothing can equal
Poi in restoring health and giving tone
and vigOr to the whole body.
There Is no article of food that Is so

it contains sufficient acid to Obyiate the
necessity of reSOrting to disagreeable and

Sham epilepsy is a matter of careful
training among professional beggars and
criminals. Ii is common enough among
soldiers and prisoners. Stimulation is
practiced with various objects, such as
escape from duty, avoidance of labor, to
secure comfortable quarters in hospitals
and charitable institutions. TO engage the
attention of a crowd while a confeder-
ate picks pockets and abstracts jewelry,
and TO attract sympathy, and with it,
alms-that Is, it car not deceive an acute
observer. The -frothing at the mouth
and general commissions are easily imi-
tated by one who has noticed a genuine
case, but the p~aleness Of the upper part
of the face, the absolute Inconsistencies
TO painful impressions and the widening
of the pupils of the eyes can not be
slammed.
The sham epileptic is careful not to
bite his tongue. and to fall where he will
not injure himself severely. He takes
occasion to have a fit when he is being
observed by some one. A dash of cold
water when he is not expecting it, the
application of n harmless, but painful,
current of electricity. or the English
police method of forcing the thumb nail
under that of the imitator, will generally
show that consciousness is not abolished.
The violent commissions are usually simu-
lated; it would take an artist of a high
order Of ability to sham the appearance
of epileptic vertigo. Besides, this would
not impress the bystanders like con-
vulsions.-St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

Since Niagara falls and vicinity were
taken charge of by the state Of New
York the number of visitors has greatly
increased. Tho freedom from extor
tionate hackmen and hotel-keepers en-.
chances the pleasure Of the tourist, and
the wonderful cataract. with its rocks,
bridges, whirlpools, and caves, can now
be seen by the visitors without danger OF
highway robbery.
An attendant told me that the number
of people who find death at Niagara il
increasing yearly. Last summer and
fall fifteen people went over the falls.
OF these over half are thought to have
been suicides. The falls are constantly
changing their form. The immense
volume of water breaks of huge
powders from the ledge and pushes back
the falls just so much. The symmetry
OF the Horseshoe fall has been spoiled in
this way.-Cor. Chicago News.

Confectioners and manufacturers OF
liqueurs are In the habit Of employing
yarious artificial perfumes, which, in
chemical language. are such bodies as
amylic valerianate. butyrate, etylic buty-
rate, propylic ether, and ccaprylic
alcohol The odor int the flavor OF
the apple, the pear, the pineapple, tho
strawberry, and the raspberry can thus
DO inflated. These limitations not only
remove the necessity for the use Of the
natural fruits but are far less expensive.
and, besides having a perfect similitude
with them, give the appropriate flavor In
a more accentueted form.
NM Poincare and Vallois have sought
TO ascertain whether these a~rtlicially pre-
pared perfumes possess poisonous proper
ties by injecting them under the skin Of
animals as well as introducing them into
the stomach. Dogs and guinea-pigs car
Withstand even large doses Of these sub
stances when injected under the skin
but these animals can be poisoned by SUI
i~lcicntly large doses. and then the symp-
tom set in rapidly. The most constant
toxic symptom was great p~rostration,
which was followed in a variable time by
coma. These phenomena were less
marked in the dog than In the guinea pig.
All the animals were troubled with vic
lent nasal irritation and sneezing, and dis
tressed breathing was evidenced by over
action OF the respiratory muscles. An ex-
cessiye secretion OF mucus from the bron-
chial tubes was also noticed. Notwith-
standing the gravity Of the symptoms, the
majority OF the animals recovered. The
practical outcome OF these experiments IL
