For A WoMAN's SAKE.

Ordinary language could not depict Ivan
Alexieff's sorrow and concern when he
heard OF Rachels imprisonment, concern
that was rendered more poignant and hard
er to bear by the knowledge that it was i'm
possible to aid her in any way as far as lie
was concerned. Nothing was easier than
to imprison person in Russia, aud moth
ing harder than to obtain that PERSONS
freedom. Gentle-womeu had been thrown
into dungeons and brutally tortured for
simply saying that it was "a shame that
people should be condemned unheard"
And men had been shot, hanged, or sent
to Siberia for expressing hope that the
day might dawn when the grooming mill
lions of Russia would be freed from bond
age. How, then could Ivan expect TO get
the woman to whom his heart had gone
out released2 He knew that if he showed
any opposition 10 his iather what his own
fate would be. Hitherto in spite of his
father, he had attempted to WOO Rachel
but now ali effectual barrier had been rear
ed between him and her, and the chances
were that they might never come together
again. -

Dreadful Disabilities Imposed or
Hawaiian Wnpoar

Dreadful Disabilities Imposed on
Hawaiian Women.
Reverence for royalty was one of
the most marked characteristics of
the ancient religion of the Hawaiians,
1t was formely a crime punishable
with death to pass through the kings
shadow or sit higher than his head.
His person was sacred and protected
by strict system of taboo. In the
royal palace the taboo stick, with
which the king announced his excom-
munications, is exhibited. 1t is a wand
with carved stone cap. Ii this stick
was lowered on the approach of q
courtier, he was compelled to with
draw Immediately, and was recognized
as being in disgrace. The kings will
was absolute, but the majority of the
Hawaiian monarchs seem to have
been of kindly disposition and to
have made no improper use of their
extreme power. 1t was due to one of
them that the taboo system was
abolished. The system bore with
grievous weight upon the women.
They were forbidden the use of some
OF the most common articles of diet
such as bananas and certain kinds
of fish, on pain of death. 1t was taboo
for q woman to enter the ca ting-
house of the men or one of the
"helaus" or temples. Before the ar
rivals of the first missionaries the
reigning king, out of consideration for
some of his women, declared the taboo
abolished. The work of converting
the natives to Christianity was greatly
assisted by this voluntary renuncia-
tion of the old heather system, says
the Overland Journal The power of
the priests was broken by it, though
their influence was still strong with
the natives. The source of the awe
in which they were heldis easily under
stood, when one considers that they
were formerly invested with the right
OF choosing the victimsfo the human
sacrifices. Later they depenped largely
upon the "anana," or power OF pray
ingpeople to death, to retain their in
fuence. No amount of argument can
disabuse the native mind of a belief in
this particular kind of enchantment.
1t is not the priests alone who prac-
tice it. 1t is believed that any one
can compass the destruction of an
enemy by q sufficient exercise of will
power. In fact, so strong is the popu-
lar conviction on the subject, or so
weak the vitality of the race, that it
is sometimes sufficient merely to
convince O. man that some one has
determined to pray him to death.
An instance is related by one of the
early missionaries of a man who
became thus convinced, and set the
day and hour OF his own death. Mr..
Armstrong was resolved that the man
should not die. He accordingly
procured q sufficient amount of chloro-
form and kept him unconscious until
the fatal hour was past. His aston
ishment on being reused was bound
less, but the boldru saved his life.

The White Sponge,

The white sponges sold in drug
stores are not dangerous to use, as
some people suppose. No drug store
could afford to sell sponges which had
once been in use, and in the hospitals
refuse sponges used in cleaning wounds
and sores are now generally burned.
The white sponges have been bleached.
Only the finest and best are selected
for bleaching, and these are placed in
a bath of diluted hyposulphate of
soda. Left in this mixture few hours
the sponge becomes as white as snow,
though the process is not generally
carried so far, light shade of yellow
or straw color selling more readily
than the white.--Globe- Democrat.

THE practice of dentistry is of great
antiquity, for, as early as 500 B. c.,
gold was used for stopping teeth and
gold wire was employed to hold arti
fetal teeth in position, and it does
not seem then to have been O. new
art. Herodotus declares that the
Egyptians had a knowledge OF the dis
ease of the teeth and their treatment.
In the writings of Martial, first CEN
tury, man is mentioned as either
stopping or extracting teeth. The
date OF the introduction of artificial
teeth into England or Europe is I'M
certain. They came to America from
England, but just when it is difficult
to determine. ""The Mathematical
Jewel" published 1885, contains an
account of Sir John Blagrave, "who
caused all his teeth to be drawn out,
and after had sett o. ivory teeth in
agayne."

vantage over then, civilized rivals. In
the Chilean Andes the naturalist
Tschudi made the acquaintance of a
Creole Farmer, who confessed that he

before he succeeded in capturing alive
alpaca. He had initiated the traps
of the Indians, their method of fixing
them in the sand of the river banks,
the precaution in obliterating the
traces Of their footsteps, but all in
vain, till an Indian renegade revealed
the secret-namely, that the alpacas
select their drinking places where there
is an audible ripple in the current of
the river, perhaps for the samereason
that COW prefers brook to pond
and a running spring to sluggish
creek. The murmuring of the stream
seemed to suggest the idea of purer
and cooler water, and where the cur
rent was slow the Indians contrived
to produce ripple by On artificial
