vrinkled surface of the lake there saot
fiery gleam. The crust of lava began
to heave and tremble, then there dartcd
along the surface another line of light,
and then another, until the whole mass
which in a moment of inaction had
cooled and crusted ov er, began to break
up like blocks of ice in spring food.
The huge pieces of lava tossed and
plunged below the boiling surface, until
from bank to bank the lake was one
mass of liquor. This was hardly the
work of an instant.
A wave motion soon developed itself.
The lava began playing in the center in
fiery fountains, and dashed against the
banks in great waves, tossing forty feet
into the air a CORY surf. 1t thundered
upon the cliff upon which we were stand
ing, and tossed fine spray higher than
our head. We could hear its dull leaden
muttering almost beneath our feet, but
could not get near enough to the edge to
look over, nor would we, perhaps, have
dared to do so had it been possible.
It is singular how small place fear
has in ones sensations when standing on
the brink of Halemaumau. Travellers
constantly do the most foolhardy things.
One stands on banks which have been
honeycombed by the fires, and which
may ropple any moment into the abyss,
without thought of danger or fear.
The tremendous terror and sublimity of
Passaic City record., 1893-03-18

plunges into dense forest, the tangled
beauty of which simply battles descrip
tion. The forest is true jungle, which
fortunately does not shelter any ncxious
animal, everything of the sort being alb
solutely unknown on these islands. The
only danger is from the path itself, which
is complete slough, through which
horses plunge in most discouraging
fashion.
After the woods have been passed,
you come to an old lava flow overgrown
with shrub called XII. Here we were
saluted by drizzliug rain, which lasted
all the rest of the way. We were be-
lated, without guide, and dai kness fell
when we were still miles from our desti-
nation. The rain continued without ceas-
ing, it grew very cold, and never was a
party of travellers more rejoiced to see
the gleam of the lights of the Volcano
House through the trees. In moment
we were warming and drying ourselves
before the great fire of logs, in a genuine
old-fashioned fireplace and were RECALLED
with hot supper. Twice that night
we we're summoned from our beds to see
flow, slight streak of light darting
into the night showing where the turbu-
lent lava had burst the bounds of its
lake, and flowed out into the bed of the
crater. There was mystery about 1t
which subdued the spirit, but did mot
prevent us from sleeping very soundly on
the edge of the crater. In the morning
there was thick mist, hut after break
fast it rolled away, leaving the prospects
stainless and bare, and we discovered
that the Volcano House was on the very
edge of the crater-a shining black pit a
thousand feet deep, and three miles in
: aiisneter, opening, 60 to speak, at cne's
very feet Under the opposite wall OF
the crater, three miles away, there was
an elevation in the floor Of the water, and
over the top OF it hung faint blush
cloud. We gazed at it with intense ex-
pectation, for that cloud was hanging
over Halemaumau, the lake of unsleep-
ing fres. The descent into the crater
began shortly after breakfast, the first
few hundred feet through stunted vege-
tation, which disappeared, however,
long before the floor of the crater was
reached.
The walk across the great folds and
coils of shining, glossy lava, all looking
as fresh as though cooled but yesterday,
is slow one, accompanied with con.
tinual probing with sticks for cracks and
treacherous bubbles. We crossed and
climbed the hill in silence. expectancy
reaching a tension which was rapidly be-
coming painful, until we stood breath
less on the top of the hill and at the
edge of the lake. At first we only felt
an intense heat, and saw nothing but
sheet of something of dull red shading

ATTRACTIVE KITCHENS.

The woodwork of Kitchen should
be as simple as possible. so that it may
be kept scrupulously Clean. The sink
is often made of enamelled iron, either
white or pale buff color. 1t is sup
ported on recessed legs, SO that every
portion of the plumbing is exposed.
The importation of the German cook
ing utensils in blue and white Hzwel-
bert muester" patt is to be well
coined. Not only are there dainty
spoons, soup ladies and skimmers
which may be hung on rack near the
stove, but boxes Of all kinds to hold
salt, spices, grains and nearly all the
dry groceries needed by the cook are
to be found in this same pattern, all
labelled. They are arranged SO that
they may be set in the dresser, or, in
the case of the salt or spices that are
in hourly requisltion, they may be
hung upon the wall. These earthen-
ware boxes are not only very convent
ent, but they add picturesque bit of
color to the kitchen. It is a great mis-
take, however, to use anything in
ornamenting the walls of a kitchen
which is not strictly utilitarian.-

WHITE SOAP.

An excellent soap for washing fan
nels. ginghams and delicate colors or
any washable material requiring care
can be made at the expense of few
cents and little economy on the part
of housekeeper. Take two pounds
of unslacked lime and six pounds of
washing soda; pour over this five
gallons of boiling water. Stir until
the soda is all dissolved; let it stand
till it becomes perfectly clear, then
pour off the clear liquid. Add to it
six pounds of clear fat (saved from
the cooking) and one cup of salt; boil
for three hours. Take little out in
a saucer, and if it hardens pour the
mixture into wooden tub, and when
cold cut into bars. 1t will soon cure
and be as white and firm as white cas-
tile soap. Il New York Tribune.

sacrificing to the dreaded goddess of
Malmaumau. In 1925, Kapiolani, a
Hawaiian Princess who had embraced
Christianity, insisted on proceeding to
the volcano aud defying the wrath OF
Pele. Her husband and friends tried to
dissuade her, she was met by an ancient
priestess who pronounced destruction on
her head; but the intrepid woman would
not yield. She led her little band of eighty
followers across the crater, many OF them
weak aud in lear of immediate death.
Then on the edge of Halemaumau she
proclaimed her faith in Jehova. and the
little band sang hymn. The plucky
woman had broken the power of Pele,
whose credit declined.
KiIauea is 1000 feet above the sea on

higher is the terminal crater of Mokau-

tive, but the great periodic eruptions
which flood the central part OF the island

The fiow of 1855 came near destroying

CARE OF SILVER.

Very few women who are the for
tunate possessors of any little store of

Besides the task of seeing that it is
fresh and brightly secured. ready for

course. there is no such vexed ques-
ton where cases are provided. But
those same beautiful cases, with their
coverings of kid and their puffed lin
ings of silk, add so greatly to the first
cost of purchase that many pieces are
bought without them. For all such,
canton flannel bags should be provided
to cover them completely and draw
up with shirstring. For spoons.

pattern of the common shoe bag
should be made. Cut piece of the

-one may say the universal-experience
of both sexes alike, and this m ood is
doubtless fortified by the fact that there
has never been an accident at the vol
cano of Kilauea, though there have been
several narrow escapes.
The crater of Kils.uea is sacred to Pele
who is the goddess of the volcano and
one of the sublime creations of Hawaiian
mythology. In ancient days no Hawaii
an dared enter the crater without first

ther to check It's progress, and for once
the prayers of Father Coan and his
church proved inefficient. But an ancient
Hawaiian Princess of heathenish propen-
stiles and enormous proportions was
equal to the emergency. She came with
incantations aud sacrifices, she threw
pigs-roast pig is as dear to the Hawaii
an as to Charles Lamb--into the molten
lava, and the flow ceased
Another famous Hawaiian crater is the
world renowned Haleakala, or the House
of the Sun. This is a huge crater in the
top of a great dome like mountain
10, 900 feet in height, which, with its
vast slopes, constitutes much the larger
half of the island of Maui. An early ride
or drive over good roads take us from
Wailuku, or, if one prefers few miles
of railroad, from Sprecklesville to
Olinda, beautiful spot, high upon the
slopes of the mountain, where it is gen.
orally convenient to pass the night.
Two or three hours ride brings one to
the summit, and then there breaks
upon the vision, without a moments
warning, sight never to be forgotten
on earth. Your horse tolls up to the
edge, and 10! you stand on the
extreme verge of an immense black
chasm, 10, 900 feet in air, nineteen
miles in circumference, and nearly 5000
feet deep. Figures cannot reproduce
the impression OF boundless sublimity
which the first sight of this great dark
pit produces. You could put, not indeed
the whole of London into it, but it
would contain New York or Paris.
There is not blade of grass, nor a tree,
nor shrub, nor single living thing to
mitigate the horrors of its awful desola-
ton.
A number of cones varying from 300
feet to 700 feet in height, but all look
ing like toys from your station, tell the
tale of the fierce volcanic activity of
which this pit was once the centre.
Down in the southeast is the great
Kaupo gap, through which floods of
lava once made their hurrylng exit, and
it is up through this gap that the clouds
come stealing which finally steal away
the views. At first a mere f1eck, cloud
the size of mans hand, then few
scattered detachments come floating in,
and finally great dense white masses roll
through the gap like the solid columns
of on advan eng army, and spread them
selves rapidly before the wind until the
whole floor of the crater is snatched
away; you look behind and you see that
the whole island-the green cane fields,
the hamlets clustering on the mountains
base, the line Of flashing surf which
marks the coast and the blue stretch of
ocean--all these, too, have disappeared
as if by magic, and from horizon to
horizon stretches one vast floor of fieecy
cloud, above which you stand alone on
your pinnacle. like god.
Only in the southeast two blue and
rounded domes are softly floating above
the clouds, but look so tender and
dreanily unsu bstantial that one thinks
breath would dlssipate them. They are
the tops Of the two mountains of the
island of Hawaii, Ia, 900 feet high, and
are seen across forty miles of water.
