DANGEROUS READING MATTER.

The evil of impure literature is one that
assumes many forms and disguises, and ap-
pears at unlooked-for points. It's mtasmatic
influence is felt long nfter the original cause
has disappeared. There is evidence that the
grosser forms of literature have ceased 10
circulate as freely as formerly, but the poison
is administered in more unsuspected anu
therefore iu o more dangerous form. only
recently one of our prominent weeklles pub
lished q story in which the reader came
abruptly upon paragraph thoroughly brutal
and repulsive in it's suggestive incident. Ii

Gle. Writers who steal the livery of heaven
to serve the devil in obtrude their wares
upon US. and we are powerless to avert tne
evil because 1t finds ds so unprepared:
Publishers, whose names have hltherto

accept O story from some noted autnor
whose name is one to conjure with, and
send out to the world the connections OF an
impure and fevered mind. How shall we
remedy this condition of aitairs, how quaran-
tine our literature until it can come to US
with clean bill of health that we may well
come it to our families? There is but one
way. Viligance is good, and indeed impera-
tive. With the wide ragne Of reading at our

ESSENTIALS.

Mint, anise, and cummin! These are the
things about which we cannot agree. We
are as one in the essentials. We can say the
Apostles Greed together. But we fight each
other when we ought to be fighting the
enemy, because our different regiments wear
different regimentals. Blind! blind! The
Christian church is mighty giant. There
is no end to its strength and its power, and
no limit to the possibilities Of its victory over
the world. the flesh, and the devil. But the
giant is blind, and cannot tell the difference
Between man and tree, between the
little end the big. And the giant is break
ing twigs when he ought to be uplifting
nations. Christ healed a great many people
in the years of his pleasant ministry, but the
writers Of the gospels seem especially fond
of telling US how he opened the eyes OF the
blind. For that is one of the, sacramental
miracles. Beneath the outward gesture and
deed lies the spiritual meaning. We are all
more or less blind. We are all feeling our
way about in the haze. not seeing anything
clearly, and often making b!unders, taking
men for trees. And Christ came to be the
life of the world. He came to open our
blind eyes, and to show US what things are
to teach US the eternal difference between
men and trees Rev. George Hodges, n

A SWEET VOICE.

There is no power of love so hard to get
and keep rs kind voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb. It may be rough IN fesh
and blood, yet do the work OF soft heart,
and do it with a soft touch. But there Is no
one thing that love so much needs as sweet
voice to tell what 1t means and feels, and 1t
is hard to get it and keep 1T in the right tone.
One must start in youth and be on the
watch night and day, at work, at play, 10
ret and keep voice that shall speak at all
times the thought of a kind heart. But TINS
is the time when sharp voice is most apt 70
be got. You often hear boys and girls say
words at play with quick, sharp tone. as
if it were the snap Of 8 whip. When one OF
them gets vexed you will hear q voice that
sounds as IL it were made up Of snarl, q
whine and bark.
Such voice often speaks worse than tne
heart feels. It shows more Ill will In the
tone than in the words. It is often In mirth
that one gets q voice or 9 tone that IS sharp,
and sticks to him through life and stirs up
Ill will and grief, and falls like drop OF
gnl on the sweet joys at home. Such aS
these get a sharp home voice for use, aud
keep their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere. I would say to all boys ana
girls: Use your guest voice at home.
Watch 1t by day as pearl OF great prlce, Ior
il will be worth to you in the days to come
more than the best pearl hid in the sea. A
kind voice is lark's song to q hearth ana m
home. 1t is to the heart what light Is to the
eye.-[Jewish Messenger.

Passing Below ground, there are more
abnormities to be found than most per;

ditions that attend the subterranean
habit favor monstrous growths. Not

the surface, others were all yellow, and
some were one.half red and the other
side yellow. The Irish potato is fertile
in its freaks. Seemingly not content
with the underground situation, pota-
toes sometimes appear upon the branches
among the leaves. Occasionally potato

new and small potatoes beneath the skin:

largest island in tie Hawaiian archipela-
20. The greatest elevations Of the big
island are all active volcanoes, and their
enormous craters are now and then full
of boiling lava.
The other islands are also pitted with
craters, but plutonic phenomena are very
feebly displayed in them, and are chiefly
revealed only by the appearance at the
surface Of hot springs. The volcanoes
of these lesser islands have lost their prim-
tive force, and most Of their craters
and lava streams have become indistinct
and are covered with dense vegetation.
It is evident that volcanic fires in the
western part of the archipelago became
extinct many centuries ago.
Mauna Loa means ''the great noun
tain" It rises by long and very gentle
slopes to height of about $4,000 feet.
The fact that its slopes are so long and
gentle shows that its lava streams have
always been what they are to-day, SO
completely lique6ed that they flow easily
for great distance and spread over the
country many miles away from their out
let. If they were of more solid char.
acter they would not travel SO far from
their vent, and the mountain would have
far sleeper slopes. -.
The mountain rises 5000 feet above
the zone of vegetation. It's summit is
crowned bya group of craters, specially
designated by the natives under the
name of Mokuaveoveo. It is an immense
symmetrical abyss, with its longer axis

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE?

Wheat and weeds grow in the same soil
and under the influence Of the rays OF the
same SUM-. Why wheat and not weeds; and
whv weeds and not wheat? What Is the
cause of the difference? Is the cause of the
difference to be found in the soil and in the
sun? No. but In the character or nature OF
the sown seed. Clay hsrdens and wax melts
under the same influences. Why? Because
the difference is found in the fact that the
condition Of the one substance is different
from that Of the other.
Evaporation OF moisture hardens the clay.
while latent heat in the wax expands the
particles. and causes them to run. Why is
it, REASONING by rna'ogy, that under the
same divine innut nce,-the light of the Sun
of Righteousness and the warm and genial
love Of God-while tine heart OF the believer
is softened, the heart of the unbelieyer il

Of $500 feet. The sight the tourist wit
nesses when he reaches the top and looks
down into the enormous abyss Of Mauna
Loa with its bubbling lava, its rising
smoke and fumes, and the Kissing Of
steam as it escapes from hundred
vents, is one never to be forgotten.
Several years ago Captain @. E. Dutton,
OF the Ordnance Corps Of our army,
made careful study Of the Hawaiian
volcanoes. He said that Q moderate
eruption of MauDa Loa represented mora
material than Vesuvius had emitted
since the destruction of Pompeii. After
the big eruptions there is generally per-
feet quiescence for some years in all parts
the mountain. -

ton in this town, and, as the picture

posing of the wires has not yet been i'm

in north and south direction. At the
centre of this immense cavity is the
primitive crater. which has diameter
of about mile and a half and depth
of over 1000 feet. It is still the most
active of Mauna Loa's craters, and lofty
buttes of scoria, some of them volcanic
vents and others extinct, are lifted high
above the bottom of this fearful abyss.
To the north and south of this greater
crater are terraces on which are many
volcanic vents, and Others are scattered
along the sides of the great depression.
When Mauna Loa becomes fairly
active there is little rest for the people
of the island. The sight at night is one
of the most magnificent spectacles that
can be conceived, as the great mountain
belches forth columns of flame and
smoke, while streams of redhot lava flow
down the sides. The lava streams some
times pour down one side of the noun
tain and sometimes another. In l84S a
great lava river flowed far to the north
east and divided into two streams at the
base of Mauna Kea, which they partly
surrounded.
In 1880 another stream, escaping
from the same part of the big crater,
spread its burning food for six days IN
the same direction, until it had deposited
on the surface of the island 700, ,0O0,-
900 cubic metres of material. In
1852 a stream flowed down the eastern
flank of the mountain to the cultivated
coast regions and destroyed number Of
villages.
The great craters of the summit, how.
ever, are not the sources OF the largest
volumes of lava that are carried seaward.
Most OF the lava comes from oriices that
are far below the great dome OF the vol.
cano. It was thus that in 1855 food
of lava, pouring out of an orlice that
opened, on the northeast side OF the
mountain, swept toward the sea until it
reached the outskirts of Hilo, stopping
st time when all the people in that lit
tie town believed that theil homes were
doomed. This lava stream covered 200
square miles of territory. 1t had an
average depth of 100 feet, and its VOL
ume would nearly have built Vesuvius:
Three years later great orifice opened
six miles to the north of the big craters
of the summit, and the stream that
uoured out of it flowed to the sea, and
half filled the Bay of Kiholo.
When Mauna Loa is in a quiescent
state it is favorite resort for tourists,
Everybody who visits Hilo takes the reg
ular tourist stage line or mule or
private conveyance for the top of Mauua
Loa. 1t is lovely journey. The richness
of vegetation is seen along the route. aud
as the road winds to the upper slopes OF
the mountains grand view is presented
of the country and the sea beyond. A
comfortable house on the road up the
mountain, known as the Volcano House,
has long been maintained for the accom-
modation of travellers. The slope of the
mountain is 80 gradual that it takes,
along the usual route up the mountain, 3,
twenty miles OF travel to gain an altitude

that Hilo is again threatened BY tha
outpourings from Mauns Loa. When
the great eruption Of 1880 threatened
Hilo the inhabitants concluded that
there was no hope Of saving their
little village. Thestream was making

In the last days of its flow, however,
its progress was much less rapid. Still

yards day. All the portable property
in the town was packed up, and the
people prepared to move at moments
notice. The lava stream split into two
