The Hawaiian Islands.

The Hawaiian group of islands ara
the most isolated bits of lard upon tbs
globe. They are two thousand miles
from the mainland and eighteen hun-
dred and sixty miles from any other
land worth calling such. They are not
bits which once formed portions of
some larger piece of land, and were
subsequently isolated by oceanic
changes. They are of volcanic origin,
having at some period been thrown up
from the bottom of the sea. One cor
sequence is that they have a fora al
most peculiar to themselves A large
proportion of the native plants are
found nowhere else.

Necessary and Just.

A defender of war taxes on the
consumption of the people cites
against an income tax this axiom
from the Democratic platform;
Unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation"
But an income tax is not ua
necessary, in the sense that an in
creased revenue is not needed.
Tde Republican congress in
creased taxes on the food, fuel
clothing aud shelter of the people
in the face of large treasury
balance and great surplus revanue.
This was unnecessary aud therefore
doubly Unjust taxation.
The b,llion-dollar congress by i'll
extravaganza converted a surplu'
into a d, ticiency. The government
needs go coo, 600 additional reve
nue.. II may require more than thi:
if the necessaries of the people are
untaxed in obedience to the repeat
ed demand of the voters.
What can be more jlst than tt
raise this revenue from that mos
tangible and representative OF
luxuries-a large income? VIVA
other tax can be laid that will yielC

cheaply and with so little hard

The New York Wor and one or
two other leading administration

company Of lesser journals, bail the
proposed tariff bill as a radical re-
form measure, redeeming in every

The New \ ork Sun and the Courier
Journal, lined by a large number Of
we'll known Democratic journals,
denounce it in plain and vigorous
+ lglish az embodying the princi-
pies of protection from start TO fin

is very far from being a tariff for
revenue only. Still it is decided
Improvement upon the Me Klnley

considered as step, though a very
short one, to ward the port into

THIS WAS PRIOR TO 1900.
When the Judge and Jury Were
Out Taking a Drink the
Prisoner Escaped.

PoUGnKEErs1E, N. Y, Nov. 20.
The records in the Duchess
county clerk { iii e dated prior to
1900 reveal some interesting pro
ceedlngs in the courts of those days.
An old paper WAS discovered the
other day which relates to q time
when man named Hatch kept a
tavern in the southern half of the
court house, whore the 5e ard
and ,rors boarded during the SEES
sions of court. frequently, and
sometimes in company with the
prisoners on trial, they drank
together at the old tavern. Ga one
of tfese social occasions the priso.
ner, a horse thief, must have slipped
away, for the records in the clerks
office credit the ldge with the fol-
10 wing remarks to the jury:
"GENrLEMEN or THE JURY: l
am told that the prisoner has infor
mally taken leave of the court and
gone the sheriff knows not whittier.
This gives the case before you a
more complex phase, as the statutes
distinctly provide that the prisoner
shall at no time during trial, sent
ence, or punishment absent himself
from the officers of the law. There
fore, it only remains for me to say
that further prosecution in this case
must be postponed until the return
of the damned scoundrel who has
thus Informally trihad with the
dignity of the court and the people
of the state of New York"

A COmical Situation.

In an Episcopal boarding-school,
few years ago, the scholars and teach
ers were assembled for morning pray
er. The reading and singing were
over and all were resuming their seats,
when one of the young ladies, of
very short thick stature, missing her
chair, seated herself with thud ON
the floor. Nobody smiled. All were
too decorous for that. The fallen
one, embarrassed into the momentary
loss of cUmmon-sense, retained her
lowly seat, opened her prayer book,
and appeared to be earnestly engaged
in examining its contents This was
almost too much for her companions,
and a smile began to struggle Oh many
a fair countenance, when the rector
arose and began reading the first
morning lesson He read from the
fifth chapter of Amos, as follows
''The virgin of Israel has fallen; she
shall no more rise; she is forsaken up
on her land there is none to raise her
up" This was toomuch; the voice of
the rector trembled as he looked up
and saw the fallen virgin the scholars
turned red in their faces, and the ex-
ercises were brought to hasty close.

A Rock Salt Quarry.

Up TO few years ago it was sup
posed that the only rock salt in the
United States was that found in West
Virginia. There is mountain of it
in San Pete county, Utah, from which
last year 100 carloads were shipped
outside the territory, and 80 carloads
to Utah points. 1t is in Salt Greek
Canyon, six miles east of Nephi. The
mine has a face of 100 feet of solid
salt and is quarried the same as stone.
A single blast often produces 10 tons
in humps of 10 to 800 pounds.
This rock salt is shipped to Butte,
Helena and TO points in Nevada and
Colorado. 1t is used in the mines for
fiuxing and on the cattle ranges as a
lick. At Salina, in Sewer county,
there are also works of some magni-
tude n st. Louis Republic.

Something in the Eye.

Never needlessly expose the eyes to
foreign particles, but when necessary
wear plain glasses or goggles. When
experimenting with chemicals always
turn the mouth of the tube or bottle
away from the face and eyes. When
ever an eve is injured severely place
the patient Immediately in a dark
room and under the care of a skilled
physician, whose directions must be
implicitly followed. The foreign
bodies may be solids, as sand, cinders,
hair, dirt, etc, lime, acids, or alkalies.
Don't rub the eyes, avoid sudden
glares of light, never look directly at
the sun.
To remove the solid PARTICLES from
under the lids it is issuficient to pull the
lid away from the eye and to wipe the
body with piece of moist paper or
the corner of handkerchief; if it IS
under the upper lid grasp the lid firm
ly between the thumb and finger, lift
it from the eyeball and draw it down
over he lower lid, and then allow 1t
to slide slowly back to its natural po-
sition. The foreign body will be
scraped off on the lashes. The OPP
GRAFTON may be repeated several times.
Or lift the lid from the eyeball, allow
the tears to accumulate beneath the
lid and forcibly blow the nose. Or
place in the eye a few grains of flax
seed, which, forming a mucilage, will
promptly bring relief. Or place across
the upper lid the point of pencil or
hodkin aa.ss. - tlasss al kbaelz over It.
III rnis way the foreign particle -
brought into distinct view and can be
readily wiped away.
Lime and Roman cement are very
destructive to the eyes if permitted to
remain any considerable time. Wash
the eye Immediately with water, then
with water containing vinegar or lem
on juice.
For acids in the eye wash with water
containinga little ammonia or baking
soda
For alkalies wash with water contain
ing vineger or lemon juice.

in such distressing tones that it almost
