The Ways Of Justice.

While at the post Office in an Ohio village
heard the report that murderer had been
captured, and so I followed the crowd to the

prisoner whose every appearance proved tho
professional tramp. lie was about forty wears
of age, very cool, and he greeted the charge of
murder with a langh. IN a short time lac was
taken before justice of the peace for examina-
ton. and / found a scat In the crowd One
look at the justice satisfied me that he realized
the awful gravity of the situation and felt the
foundation stone of the United States resting
on his broad back.

HAWAIIAN HOTEL.

HAWAIIAN HOTEL.
Our course ended in semi-circular drive
through more beautiful trees. foliage and flew
ers to the front of the charmingly situated
hotel Then We waited Gin the halN while the
single night clerk on duty allotted rooms and
then showed us to them, apologizing for hav-
ing no walters to attend to us, because 1t was
Saturday night and Saturday is holiday in
Honolulu reigiousy observed by everybody.
NC EDEN WITHOUT DRAWBACKS.
While thus waiting, looking ont upon the
beautiful night. there were sundry exclama-
tions Of GLOW delightful Perfectly lovely!'
&c. But what is this black cloud circling
about orr heads2 Can it be? Yes; slap! slapD
it is-mosquitos! What, mosquitoes in Para
disc? Strange that none of the poets ever
mentioned mosquitoes. II may as well be ad-
mitted here as elsewhere that while Hawaii
kingdom is mora or less of an Eden there is no
earthly paradise without some drawbacks, and
one of the drawbacks of these islands is mos
quitos and good many OF them; and they
have them every day of the three hundred
and sixty-fve. And, moreover, there are
relays of mosquitoes, night mosquitoes
and day mosquitoes; tho day mosqui-
tos of a gray variety being considered
in tho three hundred and sixty-fve days and
nights Of the year one has to fight seven hun
dred and thirty different relays of mosquitoes.
There are other drawbacks IN this paradise in
the shape Of scorpions and centipedos. but the
bite of neither is fatal. There arc no snakes,
however, and one can explore the most tangled
jungle of this luxuriant tropical vegetation
without risk Of anything worse than an insect
bite. The mosquitoes, moreover, are mainly
troublesome on the leeward side Of the islands.
There are few On the windward side and none
at an elevation above four thousand feet.
Honolulu is surrounded by lagoons. stagnant
fish ponds, rice fields and taro plantations
both flooded with water. and these wet districts
seem to supply natural breeding place for
mosquitoes. The white residents burn a kind
of insect powder to keep tho mosquitoes away,
but the natives do not seem to mind them 1t
may be said that while the mosquitoes are
great nuisance from their numbers, they are
not as big or such aggressive biters as our New
Jersey variety. Like the natives they take life
easy and don't care about working very hard
for a living. C.S.N

WHAT IS KEPT IN STOCK.
The Country Grocery "Store' Regarded
as Rural Museum.

n Ow SURPRISINGLY one country gro
aH&{h Gerry 'store" resembles another. 1t is
e. kas if they all were intentionally mod
keled after given pattern. Dry goods
1s~kY chiefly calicoes, for rural danes and
damsels, always occupy the shelves on the left;
crockery, tin ware and barreled goods in the
rear; miscellaneous foods and other articles
on the shelves to the right, and near the door
q glass-covered case full of motions Of all
sorts. The variety Of wants supplied by such
''store" is simply marvellous. representa-
tive of The STAR happened into one the other
day at a village down the river, and, while ne
gotiating for some paper and envelopes, pen,
ink and postage stamps, amused himself with
taking note of some of the things offered for
sale.
The motion" case alone was small museum
Among other articles in it were tooth brushes,
cologne, carpenters pencils, back hair combs,
thimbles, sleeve buttons watch keys, bay rum,
spectacles, shirt studs, rubber nipples for
babies bottles, crochet needles, pocket mirrors,
scissors and violin strings. Also in the same
case were banjo strings. fishing tackle, knives,
babies rubber rings jew's-harps, mouth organs,
tooth powders, violin rosin, ginger cakes. prize
packages containing candy and jewelry tin
horns and q few yards Of lace.
ON THE SHELVES BEHIND
straw and other hats many boxes full Of shoes,
backing and brushes Beyond the shelves full
Of calicoes were crockery, brass ware. tin ware.
Irvine for making seines. lamp shades and Chin
neys, glass ware, canvas for sails, lamps, coffee
grinders, carpenters tools, molasses, vinegar
and liquors, padlocks, popcorn, boxes of roasted
peanuts paints and oils, toothpicks and ice
skates. Around on the other side were patent
medicines, chewing tobacco, cigars, powder
and shot, wash tubs and boards, soap, bluing,
school crayons, states and books. All sorts Of
canned goods. preserves and pickles were in
stock also sauces. confectionery, clocks, castor
oil, honey, cough drops, mustard plasters,
porous plasters. glue, nails, rope and pills.
There was even a supply of ready-made cloth
ing, likewise salt meats and rat poison.
This will give slight notion Of the stock Of
typical country grocery. Such an establish
ment must have everything that anybody can
by any possibility want and much Of the stuff
il deals in lies on the shelves for years before
the right customer comes along.

Vegetable Intelligence.
From the Boston Transcript.


An illustration of apparent intelligence in
plants is the behavior of the Egyptian lotus in
this climate In the warmer countries, where
it is at home, the roots of the lotus spread
laterally close to the surface. In this country
the plant learned after q single years expe-
rience of New Jersey winter, to prepare for
this freezing season by aban 1oning its surface
lateral roots in early autumn aud sending out
crop OF roots lower down-so far down that
they were below the reach OF the frost. In this
way the plant kept up its life continuously over
winter. and when spring returned the deep
level roots were abandoned, in their turn, and
the surface roots once more sent out
Then there certain minute plants, some
of them quite microscopic, which grow in way
side pools and which move continually In
whorls or spirass without any moving influence
in the water. In o myriad forms OF this minute
life the erudition of the profoundest men Of
science is required to determine whether they
are animal or vegetable in their nature. And
then who knows whether the scientists are
quite right The moral Of the whole matter is

HOW TO GET TO HAWAII.

Round-trip tickets good for three months cost

lulu q, 100 miles, is made in about seven days
The steamers, while not up to the mark of the
Atlantic racers, are quite comfortable and are
admirably Differed. The fare is profuse and
quite as good as on the average Atlantic
steamer. Coffee is served to tho passengers at
$50 Am, breakfast at $50, lunch at 1890 p m,
dinner at $50, and tea at pm.
The steamers provided with electric
