King for Five Minutes.

The late Congressman jim Burle,
at st. Joe, combined with his tai
ents as lawyer and Legislature a
never-ending desire TO play a prac-
tical joke upon some one. When
King Kalakaua was making his
tour of America he was entertained
at Jefferson City, and following out
a royal prerogative, aud one much
exercised by crowned heads, he got,
in Western vernacular, full sized
"load on" He was stretched out
on settee in one of the cars of the
train bearing him party of friends
to st. Louis, and was soon snoring
as only Sandwich islander can do.
The fact that King Kalkaua was on
board the train was telegraphed
ahead, and at every station larger or
smaller crowds congregated to catch
a glimpse of the visiting monarch.
At one place stop was made, and
ltDtlu rs ltbT tItt. hIiiS NfI1 iit.hiup
the people expecting that he would
come out and make speach about
the glorious country, as is done by
the ruler of the enlightened nation.
The king was snoring placidly ir-
side the car, but Jim Burnes thought
1t would be too bad to disappoint the
crowd, and stepping out on the rear
platform in the semi-darkness he
made his most profound bow amid
shouts of "Long live the King
The people began to clamor for a
speech, and although this was an
unexpected turn to affairs, Congress
man Jim made the best of it,
and he talked to them about the
beauties of Honolulu and the eli
mate of the Pacific islands, mean
while wishing with all his heart
that the train would start and take
him out of the loyal crowd. But
the train stood still and the perspir-
alton began to roll down the face of
the pseudo King. One man stepped
from the ground upon the platform
and said:
"King, l have brother, John -,
a missionary in the Sandwich Is
lands; do you know him?"
"My most particular friend" re-
piled the King, with a hearty shake
of the hand, and here the train
pulled out amid the huzzas of the
assemblage and to the great relief
of his royal nIbs.

A Railroad ON Trees.

According to California news
paper there is, in Sonoma county, a
very peculiar railroad. 1t secns chat
between the Clipper Mill a1d Stuart
Point, where the railroad crosses a
deep ravine, the treeJ ale sawed off
smooth at the same level, and the
rails and cross ties laid on the
stumps. In the middle of the yawl-
ing ravine stand two large redwood
trees which compose subs aatial
trestle and are sawed of seventy
five feet from the ground. Over this
road-bed heavily laden cars pass
with the same security as if the oad
was built according to scien, tic
methods. In other paris of Califor-
mia the redwood forests ale traversed
in similar manner, and it would be
an easy way to build all railroads, !
only the trees would grow where the
railroad is to be built.

FACTS ABOUT CIGARETTES.

During last year the collections of
internal revenue from cigarettes
alone amounted to considerable over
a million dollars. The increase of
the consumption Of these deadly
small articles since the year before
is sufficiently startling. The added
revenue from them for the year end
ing June 80, 1889, was S144, ,467 .63.
Let us now look at the number of
cigarettes this increase implies.
During last year the boys, young
men and u few women and old men
consumed 2, ,l5l ,5l5, $3.50 of these little
paper rolls. AS far as that is con-
cerned there are boys not yet grown
who sometimes smoke as many as
sixty cigarettes in day. The plain
fact is that while the population of
the country increased perhaps a
million and half last year, the con-
sumption of cigarettes increased
nearly 300,000,000. 1t is shown by
the internal revenue report.
Now as to the effects of constant
cigarette smoking. First, as suffi-
ciently established, it creates thirst
for what has been called 1.-THE lids
criminate and useless consumption
of liquors." Next, all cigarettes
contain, according to Professor La
fin, five distinct and separate poi
sons. Three of these poisons ae
oils, one in the paper wrapper, an
other in the nicotine of the tobacco
itself, and a third in the flavoring
material. The other poisons are
saltpeter and opium.
The cigarette smoker draws the
smoke into his lungs and puas il
out again through his nostrils. If
he were to blow it through white
handkerchief before inhaling it, 1t
would stain the handkerchief brown.
This brown stain Is left continually
upon his own throat and lungs, and
II is poison, or rather the essence
of all the five poisons mixed. In
time it stains his complexion, too.
The cigar is not so bad as the
cigarette, because it only contains
one poison, nicotine. The reason,
however, that the cigarette obtains
so fatal hold upon the boys aud
young men is on account of the
opium in it. This must have its
effect on the brain and nerves. The
little burning taper seems to the
BOY to soothe and quiet him, while
Il Is destroying the very fountains
II his life. A youth who has be-
'ome a confirmed cigarette smoker
n time exhibits the appearance and
ctions of an opium eater Insanity
nd death follow sometimes. =

A Ticket As Is a Ticket.

We have mailed at our masthead
for the campaign of 1892 John l..
Sullivan for president and Kate
Field for vice-presldent.
This would be the thing for this
country. It would be strong
ticket. Perhaps it wouldn't pass
with the temperance people, but we
can't help that. We've done all
we can to put down the liquor traffic
drink by drink-and what is our
reward? A constable on the front
g..te, a paddock on the back fence, a
beard across the chimney top, pail
of dirty water balanced over the
door, IN abattis of bent pins on the
log where we used to sit In innocent
converse with the hired help, and a
bulldog tied To the watermelon we
used To live on. Is virtue its own
n ward when things are thus? Not
much. And hence we are through
with virtue and hound to elect Sui
livan president and Kate Field vice
president. Wen do II Ii il takes
the last breath, and il that breath
isn't strong enough to elect them
ana carry congress besides, then 1t
isn't what We are figuring on. Ell

The man who talks well of his
town, says the Boston Globe, and
works for the good of his town,
speaks and works for his own well
being. The man who talks i'll of
his town and disparagingly of its

undoing. A man in business should
not only interest but confidence in
that business. A stranger coming
into a city and finding feeling of
interest and confidence prevailing,
at once becomes impressed with a
faith which will not be put aside,
even If he attempts to do so. Sooner
or later he will. it is probable, re-
