Hot Springs.

Seven years ago my blood was badly
poisoned, ulcers and bOils breaking out
all over my body. The strong med
icines which l took brought on Rheu-
matism, and I went to Hot Springs,
Ark, for two months, which seemed to
cure the disease, but it was only smOth-
cred, for on my return home the hor-
rible disease appeared again worse
than before. l then discarded all other
treatment and took Swift's Specific,
and its use cured me perfectly well. l
have been we'll about seven years, and
no return of the disease.

Don't Battle Too Often.

"This is the season of the year
when young men who are fond of
athletics ought to listen to sound
advice in regard to bathing. But Of
course they won't. for they think
they know it ALL After a sprint or
game of ball on hot day they will
90 off and take a cold shower bath
before they have cooled off, a prac-
tice which is always dangerous and
often fatal. The intelligent athlete
does not indulge in any such folly,
but, having taken the lightest pos
sible sponge bath to remove the per
spiration, allows himself to cool off
gradually. Bathing is good thing,
but indiscriminate and unwise bath
ing is almost worse than no bathing
at all. I know young men with
whom bathing has become mania
and whose skin has become dry and
scaly because they are constantly
washing off the natural oil necessary
to keep the skin in good condition
It is interesting to note the fact that
the Romans were great people unit
they became addicted to the bath
That period marked the beginning o.
their decline and fall off, as Mr.
Wegg would say. To all, whether
athletes or not, l would say: Dom
let the bathing habit grow on you
for if you do you will surely wasl
away much that is essential to you.

THE HEROINE OF CONEMAUGH VALLEY

"Mrs Ogle, the operator, remained at
her post. and wired to the stations be-
low warnings of their danger from the
advancing flood; wiring to South Fork
she added the brave significant words =
This is my last message. ,"
A shout in the mountainous street,
A confusion of fugitive feet,
A roar that appalled, in the air,
And an answering cry OF despair.
''The great dam has burst" Though as
pale
AS the rose in her gown, did she quail :?
No! but s2rang to her instrument
straight;
"Let others escape, shall waltz
Tick tick and the message flies through
From the tremulous fingers but true,
To the valleys unconscious beneath
OF the rush of the waters of death.
Unrelenting and hungry they come,
Forty feet and surmounted by foam,
They break from eSCarpment and wall,
They escape with thunderOus fall.
One brave woman has recognised fate,
| And wires to South Fork ere too late
| AS the waters are nearing her fast:
'This is my last message-my last"
| Her last and her last Even SOL
| On that day OF unspeakable woe
! She passed first through the od-gates
away,
But her massage shall echo for aye!

Messrs. Chaffey Bros direction,

a few are making the experiment of
wheat growing (chiefiy intended for
hay), and Judging by present appear

vested many intend following i'm

visitor taking a drive round would
be surprised to see the number of
houses springing up through the

quite green, and, in comparison with

UNHAPPY HAYTI.

The war in Hayti is reported as
ended. It is quite certain that one
of the rival rulers, Legitime, has ar
rived in New York, en- route to
France. The forces of Hyppollte,
his opponent, have entered the CAPT
tai, Port-au-Prince; and the soldiers
on both sides, it is said, will forth
with drop their arms and go to work
picking the coffee crop. Indeed, it
is probable that TIE necessity to the
islands prosperity of saving this
years coffee crop has had the
strongest influence in causing hostil-
tiles to cease. The war has lasted a
year, has cost about S10,U00,000, and
has been marked by many skirm-
ishes, hardly deserving the name of
battles. The total loss of life is esti-
mated at four hundred, counting the
killed and starved The most inter
esting event was the seizure by
Legitime of the American steamer
''Haytien Republic" on the charge of
violating paper" blockade of the
northern Haytian ports. Briefly
stated, the cause of the war was
jealousy between the northern and
southern sections of Hayti for the
possession of the Presidency. After
the abdication of President Solomon,
which seems to have been hailed with
JOY by almost every one, an election
took place in which the candidates
were General Thelemaque (of the
north) and General Legitime. On
the night of the election the former
was killed in a riot, and his soldiers
driven out of town by his rivals adj
herents. The whole northern part
of Hayti at once rose in arms, with
Hyppolite as their leader, and though
Legitime, who went through the
form of being elected and inaugur-
ated, held the capital, and at first
possessed almost all the arms and
ships in the country, he has been
driven into a corner, and

The Government Dry Dock.

The new dry-dock which has just
been completed at the Norfolk Navy
Yard has been formerly opened.
The dock is $50 feet long, $50 feet
wide and cost $500,OOO. It is built
of Georgia pine, treated with wood
creosote oil, Portland cement and
concrete. The dock was emptied in
one hour, the pumps throwing 3d.
900 gallons per minute. This is the
largest dock owned by the govern
ment except that at Mare Island.
It was built by J. E. Simpson & Co.
of New York, after their system US
ing wood and cement instead of
stone, by which the cost is reduced
to one third of that for stone docks,
and, it is claimed, it is more durable,
as frost and ice cannot affect it. The
company is now constructing SINH
lar dock at League Island, Phila-
delphia, and at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard After the formal opening the
United States war-vessel Yantic was
successfully locked.

PROGRESS IN VIEW.

The material progress of the past
two years, in Honolulu and other
parts of this kingdom, has been of
such nature that the public works
completed and those nearing com
pletlon, will naturally lead to others
OF still greater magnitude. The
Oahu Railway and its possibilities
point to thick settlement on the
shores Of Pearl Harbor, if not to the
establishment of a rival city. The
outlook in this direction points to
the early improvement of Honolulu
harbor, and to making the entrance
wider and deeper, 50 that vessels of
all tonnage and draft may safely en-
ter. Indeed the Oahu Railway,
alone, points to important progress
sive changes; although only a link,
however important, in the great
chain of material improvements that
cannot now be long delayed. The
Honolulu tramways also play their
part in giving local travelling facili-
ties, and the new Punchbowl hill
road opens the way to new and
attractive suburban district. All
these improvements will doubtless
lead to other and greater extensions
of the city and It's trade; and an era
of greater progress is about TO dawn
upon these central isles of the Paci-
fcA
1.-THE new road to the Volcano of
{ Kilanea is also opening out country
of great possibilities. It passes
through districts suitable for varied
productions. Tourist travel will
also be greatly facilitated and in
creased by this new road.
On all the islands of the group
great material improvement is 60
ing on, and keeping pace with the
progress of larger population centers
In short matters are now beyond the
hopeful stage, and the goad of ear
nest improvement is hurrying on the
work according to the necessities
OF the stirring times already begun
