-Chas. w. Tilden, one day last week, stepped from an unrailed platform at the Merrow Knitting mill, falling twelve feet and striking on his head. MT. Tilden weighs about 200 pounds, and conse- quently fell heavily. The back of his head was cut apart to the bone, and for a time it was feared that he had suffered fatal internal injuries, but at present he appears to be recovering finely.

The Ansonia Sentinel says that the pro- posed legislation in the matter of weekly payments does not create any interest in Ansonia, as the manufacturers there have been paying their employees weekly for the past three or four years. In regard to the working of the plan the Sentinel says that the innovation proved substantial benefit from the start, and especially ad- vantageous to wage-earners and store keepers, largely doing away with the cred 1t system and the annyance of the factoriz- ing process, beside keeping money paid for laber constantly in circulation.

John Burroughs, the naturalist, writes from New York to New Haven parties on the sparrow nuisance, which the country, he says, is just waking up to. He advises that people kill them and make them into pot-pies. If in the country but for the city, he advises that bread crumbs be soak ed in arsenic and scattered indiscriminate- ly about, and thus poison them.

 About 200 assembled to enjoy the old folks concert last week Wednesday even Ing, nearly half of the number being out of-town people. Mrs. w. C. Haven pre- sided at the organ, and H.

Perhaps the oldest garment of all the costumes was dress worn by Mrs. Haven, @ dress over 150 years old, first owned by Mrs. Haven great-great-grand- mother, but many wedding garments of ye olden time were made to do service, and the remark was made that years ago more garments were laid aside before be- ing worn out than now. The ladies real ized about $50 from the concert.

If the Washington special correspond ents are to be believed Senator Jones of Florida is making very absurd exposure of himself. He is reported to have neg lected his senatorial duties all winter be- cause of infatuation for rich Detroit la- dy, to whom he persists in making siege, although she does not reciprocate his re- gard, and is indignant at his persecution. The senator remains in Detroit in spite of the solicitations of his party associates in the senate, the protests of his constitu- ents, and the ridicule of the senatorial cor respondents.

BEAUTIFUL HAWAII.

Having visited many climes, ira
versed the five continents, and made
short stays at islands innumerable,
/ at length reached the i" Paradise
of the Pacific "-the Hawaiian ISL
ands. This is the most beautiful,
the most charming, the most de-
lightful of all. TO be sure, it does
not come up to the Biblical descrip-
ton, or the notions entertained by
most of us from childhood, of the
Garden of Eden; but it answers
well to Mrs. Hemans's picture,
"where every prospect pleases and
only man is vile"
Grandeur, sublimity, and beauty
are here exhibited in their grandest,
sublimest, and most beautiful forms.
The snow-capped mountains of Ha-
wall, towering up twelve or thirteen
thousand feet above the sea level
the extinct crater of Haleakala, on
Maui, with its eight or nine miles of
breadth across the top, and its in
Vulnerable and various-sized cones
dotting its internal surface; the liv-
ing and active volcano of Kilauea,
ON Hawaii, with its unparalleled great
ness, its liquid shining mass, its jets
of fire, its restless commotion, now
assuming u new form, possibly to
break forth in greater grandeur than
ever; the countless valleys, gulches
and gorges, on all the islands of the
group, with their ripping streams,
their leaping cascades, their luxu-
RANT vegetation; and the level
plains and sloping declines near the
sea, covered with groves of majes-
tic cocoanuts and green fields of
sugar cane and rice: all these dis
play nature in her varied aspects of
vastness, majesty, magnificence and
loneliness, in a manner and to n
degree scarcely equaled anywhere
and certainly surpassed nowhere.
Here the lover of nature revels in an
eXhaustless profusion of matter for
unbounded admiration and delirious
expressions of delight. Then there
are no ferocious animals nor ven
omous serpents lurking among the
Businesses and hiding in the grass,
to intimidate the explorer or endan-
ger his safety.
Where else shall we find climate
so mild, so equable, so health-in'
spring, whose temperature near The
sea rarely rises above 80 degrees
and as seldom falls below 60, witt
gentle trade winds to moderate tho
greatest heat and a cloudless sky tt
temper the greatest cold? And ye
! the most surprising changes may b'

as it did on the occasion of this
visit, dense clouds of steam rise
from the whole warm suface of the
lava field.
Since the collapse the volume of
steam issuing from the surrounding
mountain terraces, particularly that
on which the Volcano House stands
and the depressed plain just below
containing the sulphur banks, has
greatly increased, but varies from
hour to hour and day to day. 1t
fairly Kisses and roars from the
apparently bottomless pits and fis-
sures close to the Volcano House,
while the vapor is hot enough to
scald person exposed to it for q
minute. On the way home, down
the Kau road, on Tuesday morning,
the guide pointed out, on high
ridge towards Puma, at least twelve
miles from the Volcano, steam issu-
ing in large volumes from vents of
old standing. AT the last sight of
the crater, riding close by the cliffs,
the issuance of smoke seemed to be
more diffused over the interior than
when surveyed at close quarters the
previous day. Those who know
most of the vagaries of Kilauea be-
lieve that activity will shortly re-
turn. AS it stands the great Vol
cano is well worth observation and
study. 1t is scarcely less stupendous
in its ruins than it was in its fiery
glory.

TEMPERANCE SCHOOL BOOKS.

The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of the Hawaiian Islands,
following the example of the society
in the United States, has been agi-
tating for some time the introduce
ton into the schools of the kingdom,
both native and foreign, of series
of textbooks for scientific temper
ance instruction. Last week, Mrs.
f. p. Adams, as committee of the
Union, had an interview with His
Excellency w. M. Gibson, Presi-
dent of the Board of Education,
with the gratifying result that the
Board has given an order for two
thousand copies of the "Child's
Health Primer" in Hawaiian, with
view to introducing the book into
all the native shcools. The Union
has already secured the services of
a competent translator, and assumes
the oversight and expense of the
translation. 1t is pleasing to note
that the interchangeable efforts of the
ladies for the moral improvement of
the people are being authoritatively
endorsed by the Board of Education.

had in brief period of time and a
short distance of space. An hours
quiet walk, in many localities only a
few minutes, takes from the some
what extreme warmth of the open
plain to the delicious GOODNESS of
the shaded valley. An hour or two
more, and the easy ascent of the
mountain slopes introduces the pc
destrian to the altitude of chills and
wooden clothing. Thus in one short
day, between the rising and setting
of the sun, one DESTROYS of cooling
off may pass from the plane of per-
petual summer, through the zone of
perennial spring, to the frozen region
of never-dying winter.
The soil of Hawaii is no less re-
markable than the climate. Her
valleys teen with the most luxuriant
vegetation, and produce wild fruits,
native and exotic, in the richest
abundance. Her plains and hill
sides present growth of sugar cane
and rice that defies competition, the
yield in some places exceeding seven
tons of sugar to the acre and four
tons of rice in a similar area, with
two such crops of the latter in one
year. Most tropical and semi-tro-
pical plants and trees transplanted
to this cline acquire rapidity of
development rarely attained in their
native land. What will not thrive
here never need be attempted else
where within the tropics.
Passing from nature to man, from
the natural to the social, here is a
community whose social and domes-
tic condition is close approxima-
ton to that which chad all things
in common" Real poverty and
gaunt starvation are unknown to
these fair isles. The aboriginal
occupants hold a foremost place
among earth's inhabitants for good
ness of nature, hospitality, and an
ever-ready disposition to feed, clothe,
and house the needy and homeless.
The white people are not a whit
behind. "Open hearts, open purses,
and open houses" is truly appli-
cable to them. Some are aflluent,
more are in comfortable circum-
stances, none are absolutely INDECENT,
and all combine to welcome the
stranger and help the unfortunate.
In addition to the public spirit of
benevolence and the general DISPOSE
ton to philanthropy, are Christian
organizations and national associa-
tons, whose special mission is the
performance of works of charity.

British Association, an American

These sources of relief are, more

with none of the restrictive ligament:

such matters elsewhere.
All these things, and many more
combine to make Hawaii one of tn,
most lovely, attractive, and desirable
little countries under the sun.

HERE'S MORE OF 1T.
The Same Old Story--A Sinful Love
at the Bottom OF 1t.

George d. Williams, of the Stump
ter Hotel, in St. Louis, killed Mrs.
Norris, guest of the house, and at
tempted to kill himself. An intimacy
has for some time existed between
Williams and Mrs. Norris, who was
quite a young and fashions BILE woman.
Her husband claimed to have discov-
cred Williams in his wife's apart
ments, and the matter became public
through the disturbance which ensued.
Williams is young man, very popu-
lar in society, and no stain on his
character has ever before existed. He
fired only two shots, one of which
penetrated the heart of his victim,
and the other his own head Just above
the right temple. 1t, however, only
fractured his skull! and the wound is
not fatal.

ON SNOWSHOES.
How a TenderfOot Made a Skylight in a
COWshed.

He was a new arrival. He had
never visited a mining camp before.
All he saw interested him, but snow
shoes and snowshoeing claimed his
best attention. On expressing de-
sire to try them he was assured that
the sport was delightsul; that in a
few hours he could master the run
ners, and any of "the boys" would
cheerfully give him lessons. So the
lightest pair in town were procured,
and the boys, after doping them law
ishly with gum shellac and plumbago,
adjourned with the gentleman from
the city to the big hill back of the
foundry. After the baling- rope
brakes were properly adjusted to pre-
vent the shoes slipping backward, he
managed, after an hours hard wres-
Ting with them, to reach the the sum-
nit in a state of high perspiration
and supreme confidence in his ability
to make the slide with impunity. AT
ter a few minutes rest he swung into
position, gave push on his pole and
was off. In the time that interviewed
on the half mile stretch between the
top and the damp, nasty recesses of a
stall in a COW stable where he wound
up, the boys impressions were the
same; that is, if he had leisure to
form any, that he was a bird. Any
how, about so feet from the shed the
boys saw him going up into the air,
finging off boot as he fell crashing
through the roof, while a dazed and
badly-frightened stump-tailed COW
shot out the door, charging across lots
In a paroxysm of unearthly bawls.
Badly startled, they jumped their
shoes and few down the slope to cor
raj the remains. They found him
doubled over an old pail, still breath
ing and dragged him into neater at
mosphere. After washing the blood
and things off his head, and bringing
him around facing his breath, he sadly
remarked: "Too clever; too clever by
half. After you have corrected my
freshness in a salt-lined coffin before
shipping me to Lone Mountain, write
write on it say, died in successful
attempt to make personal skyligh'
in a cowshed.'

HE MINNIE MOORE
A BIG STRIKE IN THIS OLD IA.
FORITE LAST NIGHT,
The Minnie" Comes to the Front In
Great Shane.

UTeat shape.
Early this morning a rumor reached
the ZINES office that a "big strike
mad been made in the Minnie Moore
NINE, in Broadfora. As it is not the
ZINES policy to publish rumors, the
telephone was brought into action,
and here is what was learned. 1t will
make everybody on Wood River hap.
Ply. 1t brings the Minnie Moore
mine again to the front as one of the
bonanza properties of this country,
and has set the camp wild with JOY.
Hurrah! for pluck and faith.
The men who have stuck to the
minnie" in her darkest DAYS OF
doubt are on top now, and the spring
season opens with a grand cheer.
About midnight of last night, lust
after the II o'clock shift went on,
they struck the richest body of ore
ever cut into in the Minnie Moore.
1t was struck in cross-cut on the
600 level, and at 5 o'clock this morn
ing the men had gotten into it two
feet. They have taken out one car
load of the richest ore ever taken from
the "Minnie Moore" and up to noon
of to day the other wall had not been
reached, so nobody knows how wide
the ore body is.
The news of this rich strike spread
like fire soon after o'clock. Men
met on street corners and gave ex-
preston to their joy by cheers and
hearty handshakes. 1t puts Broad.
ford on the "lively" list as of yore,
and it gives confidence to all classes
along the river.
There are to-day about so men al
work on the Minnie, and since this
''fnd" they will be increased, most
probably, inside of 60 days, to 200
And as an equal number will be stead
lily on the Queen of the Hills, which
adjoins the "Minnie" and has vast
quantities of Gre exposed, it is safe tc
predict that in a very short time
Droadfold will boom as she never
doomed before. Let her boom!

The driver of the Haley Transfer
had turnover in front of the TINES
office this morning. He came down
the hill from the depot, behind good
horses, on the "slick" snow. His
wagon, upon runners, was filled with
goods, put up in large boxes aud bun
dies. 1t was top-heavy and "took a
tumble" Result: the goods were
pitched into the Few fallen snow; the
horses frightened, but controlled
by the man who held the reins; and,
true to the principles that govern
the men in this Office, help for a
neighbor was at once forthcoming.
The "Devil" went out, helped to dig
out the outfit and replace the goods
on the transfer wagon.
Bicycle riders on tour can make

tise the rider can 60 fifty to eighty
miles with out WEAKNESS, on good

and more exhilaration than either
walking or horseback riding. On
down grades there is comparatively nc
exertion. On level ground with good
roads, the exertion is about third Of
that in walking briskly, and in going
up hill the effort to drive machine is
like that of walking up hill. There is
