HAWAII AS A HEALTH RESORT.
(By DIR. G. P. Andrews, of Homo

Board Of Health.
"Well, doctor, what shall l do?"
sMr. Brown, you have been in bust

The scenery about Honolulu is
uniquely beautiful; mountain and
valley just back of the city are clothed
with forests, varying in exquisite
tints of verdure. Smooth roads in
every direction allow of unlimited
exercise by carriage or on horseback.

trips to the great volcano, to Hilo,
the lovely garden village of Hawaii ali;
to Maui and its dead volcano, 10000

CHAOS COMING AGAIN.

Four weeks from to-day the
general election for Mobiles and
Representatives will take place
throughout the Kingdom. The
electors in the country districts
have met and made nominations /;
but Honolulu, the capital city and
hub of the Kingdom, has not yet
awaked from it's political sleep, or
rather nightmare. Each faction
for there are no longer any parties
lis watching the rest, waiting and
hoping to have the last say. In
the meantime the troublesome sore
is plainly coming to a head. No
nominations have yet been made
public, but the ADVERTISER, by q
stroke of journalistic enterprise, is
enabled to publish this morning 8
long list of candidates who propose
to bid for the peoples suffrages al
the coming contest.

A Unique Exhibition.

The Soldiers Company of London
have been exhibiting in their hall an ex-
tremely interesting collection of all kinds
Of saddles and brides in use from the
earliest times to the present day. From
the Tower of London came a knights
fitting saddle of wood, covered with
leather, with an arrangement not unlike
stocks, into which the knights legs were
thrust, so that he might not topple over
when his horse wheeled about suddenly,
or a spear point struck with full force
against his armor-plated ribs. OF Cava-
lier and Cromwellian saddles there were
several examples. Sir Henry Halford
contributed the velvet saddles used by
Prince Rupert aud Charles l. at the bat
tie of Naseby, and Colonel Somerville
the accountrements of a war-horse which
once belonged to Oliver Cromwell. The
trappings in which Sir Edward Seymour
rode when he met the Prince of Orange
on the shores of Torbay and the Duke
of Monmouth's gorgeous saddle were
near by. Close beside them was the fa-
vorite saddle of the famous jockey Fred
Archer. The Queen sent a marvellous
collection of Oriental saddles. aud trap
pings, including those of Tippo Sahib.
The Empress Eugenie lent, among other
relics of the Napoleonic dynasty, velvet
saddle and trappings said to have been
used by Napoleon 1. in his last cam
paign. Near them lay the square -cantled
slddle of old Blucher, marshal Vor-
wartz." There were also many rare
specimens from private collections, in
Guiding those of Lord Rosebury, the
Duke of Portland, the Duke of Somerset
and Others oil equal celebrity, while the
War Office lent specimens of military
saddlery from Cont mental Powers.
Modern cavalry saddles, with latest
equipments, were well represented.-

SUMMER.

Oh, sweet and strange what time gray morn
ing steals
Over the misty fats, and gently stirs
Bee-laden lines and pendulous abeles,
To brush the dew w-bespangled gossamers
From meadow grasses and beneath black
frs,
In limpid streamlets or translucent laAes
To bathe amid dim heron haunted brakes!
Oh, sweet and sumptuous at height of noon
Languid to lie on scented summer lawns,
Famed by faint breezes of the breathless
June;
To watch the timorous aud trooping
fawns.
Dappled Dke tenderest clouds in early
dawns,
Forth from their ferny covert glide to drink
And cool 1.-the limbs beside the rivers brink
oh, strange and sad, ere daylight disap-
pears,
To hear the creaking of the homeward
vain,
Drawn by its yoke of tardy pacing steers,
Meath honeysuckle hedge and tangled
lane;
To breathe faint scent Of roses on the wane
By cottage doors, aul watch the mellowing
sky
Fade into saffron hues insensblyl

The Paper Age.

The world has seen its iron age and
its braHen age, but this is the age of pa
per. We are making so many things of
paper that it will soon be true that with
out paper there is nothing made. We
live in paper houses, wear paper cloth
ing, and sit on paper cushions In paper
cars rolling on paper wheels. If we
lived in Bergen, Norway, we could go
on Sundays to paper church. We do
a paper business over paper counters,
buying paper goods, paying for them
with paper money, and deal in paper
stocks on paper margins. We row races
in paper boats for paper prizes. AS the
age develops the coming man will be-
come more deeply enmeshed in the pa
per net. He will awake in the morning
and creep from under the paper clothing
of his paper bed, aud put on his paper
dressing gown and his paper slippers.
He will walk over paper carpets, down
paper stairs, and seating himself in pa
per chair, will read the paper news in
the morning paper. A paper bell will
call him to his breakfast, cooked in
paper oven, served on paper dishes, laid
on paper cover on a paper table. He
will wipe his lips on a paper napkin, and
having put on his paper shoes, paper
hat and paper coat, and then taking his
paper stick Che has the choice of two
descriptions already he will walk on
paper pavement or ride in a paper car
ciage to his paper Office. He will Or
ganize paper enterprises and make paper
profits. He will sail the ocean on paper
steamships and navigate the air in paper
ballonns. He will smoke paper cigar
or paper tobacco in paper pipe, lighted
with paper match. He will write with
paper pencil, whittle paper sticks with
paper knife, go fishing with a paper
fishing-rod, paper line aud a paper
hook, and put his catch in paper bas-
ket. He will go shooting with paper
gun, loaded with paper cartridges, and
will defend his country in paper forts,
with paper cannon and paper bombs.
Having lived his paper life and achieved
paper fame and paper wealth, he will
retire to paper leisure and die in paper
peace. There will be- paper funeral, at
which the mourners, dressed in paper,
will wipe their eyes with paper handker-
chiefs, and the preacher will preach
in paper pulpit. He will lie in paper
coffin, he will be wrapped in a paper
shroud, his name will be engraved on
paper plate, and paper hearse, adorned
with paper plumes, will carry him to a
paper-lined grave, over which will be
raised paper monument.-Paper Re-

Fat. Tailed Sheep.

Some interest has been evoked by the
announced arrival of flock of sixteen of
the fat-tailed sheep of Persia for our
Agricultural Department at Washington.
1t has been thought that in our wide
range Of territory there might be found
a place for these curious but not very
valuable sheep, of which there is not
much known by the public, except
among experts, of these animals, aud
some mistaken impressions are existing
in regard to the enterprise. Sheep gen
orally have a natural facility for laying
fat on various parts of the body. Some
gather 1t on their ribs, Others on their
viscera and others ON the tail. This
habit is natural to some kinds Of the OK
tribe, and other animals, rs the beaver,
which Las an exceedingly large and fat
tail. One race of sheep found in Asia
Minor, southern Asia, eastern Europe,
Arabia aud in Africa, have this fat tail
enormously developed. When kept in
houses and highly fed, the tail, fastened
to a little cart for protection, reaches
the weight Of forty pounds The fat Of
it Is used in place Of butter -Americau

Three Kinds of Lightning.

According to Arago, the celebrated
French physicist, there are three kinds
OF lightning, which he names lightning
of the first, second aud third classes.
Lightning of the first class is known as
fork lightning. That of the second
class as sheet lightSiug, which ha, no
definite form, but seems to be great
mass of light. 1t has not the intensity
of lightning of the first class. When il
occurs behind cloud, it lights up its
outline only. Occasionally it illuminates
the entire body OF clouds, aud appears
to come forth from the very heart OF it.
Sheet lightning is very much more fre.
quent than forked lightning. Lightning
OF the third kind is called ball LIGHT.

seconds, and, in this respect, differs

sense, momentary.-Detroit Free Press,

A Curiosity of Digestion.

As rule, people digest most easily
what they like best. There is a dyspep-
tic in this town who suffers the agonies
of death il he eats a piece of white bread
or drinks a cup of tea, and yet he will
eat large piece of fat pork aud plate
of baked beans swimming in grease,
without experiencing the slightest annoy
ance. He says he likes pork and beans,
and nobody can doubt it after seeing him
eat them, and he unquestionably fur
nishes an illustration of the maxim that
dyspepsia is an unaccountable malady.

If had dreamy eyes aglow with smiles,
And graceful limbs, and pretty girlish

Life's paths, so naI row, would be broad and

If were feirl
II were fair,
Perhaps like other maidens might hold
A true hearts store Of tried and tested

Love waits on Beauty, though sweet Love
alone,
It seems to me, for aught might well atone.
But Beauty's charm is strong, and Love
obeys
The mystic witchery of her shy ways.
If were fair. my years would seem SO few;
Life would unfold sweet pictures to my
view,
II / were fart
IL were fair
Perhaps the baby, with scream of joy,
To clasp my neck would throw away its toy
And hide its dimples in my shining hair,
Bewildered by the maze Of glory therel
But now-oh, shadow of young girls face,
Uncolored lips that PAINS cold fingers trace,
You will not blame the child whose wee
hands close,
Not on the blighted bud, but on the rose
SO rich and fair.
II were fair,
Oh, just little fair, with some soft touch
About my face to glorify it muchl

My heart would almost break beneath its

And perfect light shall flood each blinded

When days flush merges into sunsets bars
And night is here And then beyond the
