A wonderful lake named ALA Paalsai
has been discovered on the Hawaiian
islands. The waters are more salt than
those Of the Dead sea. Samples OF the
water have been analysed in the labora-
tory of Oahn college, with results of pc
culiar as well as scientific interest. The
water, which in dry weather deposits
salt abundantly, Is of course saturated
brine, yet differs essentially from the
brine obtained by evaporation to satura

farmers rose as one man, for all their

to wait on the law.
The ruin of Lavelle is complete, and

relatives, of the disgrace of proud aud

The Neglect of the Feet.

Far too little has ever been said d
written regarding the proper treatmen,
of the feet, when we consider the amount
of suffering that may be occasionei b.
their abuse. As the health Of any and
all parts of the body depends upon ths
care taken OF each, either voluntarily b
unconscionsly, it is IL marvel that The
feet IRE not even more frequently Dis
figured by growths that injure the eniirs
system and, perhaps, permanently cripple
the limbs. Races that live in state d

When thus surrounded by coverings that
are well nigh ilnperyious to the air, the

A few years ago he was probably tn
most popular young politician in that part
OF Indiana. He had served as deputy au'
ditor eight years, while his older brother
was auditor, and was well on the way to
Completing his own second term. Last
year he made very expensive canvass,
seeking the nomination for auditor OF
state, but failed to get it, and the suspi-
cious taxpayers insisted on an examination
of his hooks. 1t soon TRANSFERRED that he
had handled much county money that
should not have been in the custody OF the
auditor; next that he had lost money at
poker, then that he had obtained money OF
a former Official who defaulted, and finally
that he was on altogether too intimate
terms with one Aaron Burr Halves, a
township "heeler."
He STAYED off the examination as long as
possible, but the commissioners employed
two experts, and the day was set. night
or two later the court house was in flames.
All the old records, land titles and many
other valuable documents were destroyed,
but strangely enough the auditors books
were saved in sufficiently good condition
to show what was wrong They were
found to have been soaked with coal oil,
