M UNIFICENT GIFT.
Hawafi's Conservatory of Poly
nesian Relics, Ancient
and Modern.

The Bishop museum has been
re-opened, after short closure, and
may be visited Fridays from 9 AN.
till ~ NJ, and Saturdays from 2
till Pm. The spacious addition
to the building now in course OF
erection will add largely to it's at
fractions and to it's capacity for
displaying the rapidly-increasing
collection of Polynesian curiosities,
which are being gathered from
various quarters. Some twenty-five
years ago a naturalist named An
drew CARAT, spent many years in
voyaging from group to group in
this vast ocean, searching for new
specimens, to procure which he had
unlimited means provided, making
Honolulu his headquarters. In
these excursions he obtained from
foreigners and natives at the vari-
Gus places he visited thousands of
new and till then unknown speci-
mems of fishes, mollusks ard other
geological inhabitants of this ocean.
When he finally got his treasur
together it was found that the col
lection made nearly shipload, and
almost as precious as gold dust.
But these thousands of rare and
hitherto unknown and curious
jewellers of the unvisited islands
and ocean depths of the Pacific
were all carefully named, classified
and numbered by him, with
such scientific accuracy that his
list has become standard
for reference by scientific men
abroad.
Not long ago Mr.. CARAT died,
and his vast and very valuable
collection was offered for sale to
the various wealthy public and
private museums and universities
of Europe and America. Much in
terest was shown by scientists, and
many offers were made to obtain
it, but it remained for our towns
man, Hon. Chas. Z. Bishop, the
trustee of the museum, to secure
this, the largest and rarest collec
ton of its class in the world for the
Bernica, Bishop museum, now ris-
ing into prominence in our mid
ocean archipelago.
The new structure above referred
to as an addition to the present
museum, is partly to accommodate
these treasures, and when placed
within its walls, the Bishop mu-
scum of Honolulu will stand with
out a rival, as it will have thous-
ands of the only specimens ever
obtained from ocean depths. This
fact alone will attract scientific
travellers from every country, and
make the institution famous
Throughout the world. We con-
graduate Mr.. Bishop and the citi
zens of Honolulu and Hawaii In
the acquisition of this great prize

SPECIAL TRIP BY GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS.
Purchase of the KuIeanas-rhe Dam
len Statue to be Unveiled.

Last Wednesday at the regular
meeting of the board Of health,
President w. o. Smith announced
that the last statements regarding
the kuleanas at the leper settle
ment on Molokai had been made
that morning to the government
and as soon as the steamer Hawaii
returned a special trip would be
made by members of the board of
health and other government Off
GERS to the leper settlement.
At the request of President
Smith no newspaper mention was
made of the proposed trip, to avoid
numerous applications which al
ways follow for leave to visit the
settlement.
1t is understood the matter of the
purchase of the kuleanas and the
removal of the kamaainas will be
consummated this trip. The gov
eminent will be represented in the
matter by Minister J. A. King and
Acknowledgement Smith. They are
accompanied by Mr.. ] F. Brown,
of the survey department, who will
locate the boundaries Of the prop
critics to be transferred.
Agent G. B. Reynolds will spend
his time at the Bishop and boys
homes making estimates and ar
rangements for the removal of a
number of houses across the road
from where they now stand. Mr..
Z. Newman went as government
pharmacist and DR.. Cooper as gov
eminent physician. DR.. Goto, now
in the employ of.the board of health,
also returned to his post of duty at
the settlement by the Hawaii.
Besides these the advisory coun-
Gil was represented by Mr.. J. En-
meluth, and Postmaster General
Dat will inspect the postal system
at the settlement. The Bishop of
Panopolis, accompanied by Mr.. Ed.
Stiles, go to be present at the I'M
vailing of the Father Damien
statue. Among others allowed pass
age were Bishop and Mrs. Willis,
DR.. Sharp and Prof. Libbey-the
two latter have come to this coun-
try to make scientific researches for
the American Dental Association,
Dr.. C. I. Rogers, secretary of the
executive and advisory councils,
and DR.. Nicholl, dentist.
1t is the intention to have the
steamer Hawaii return to Honolulu
in about thirty-six hours after her
departure last evening. The last
of the lepers ordered to be sent
from the receiving station two
weeks ago were taken up and these
will be divided between the viii
lagos of Kalaupapa and Kalawao,
until the houses to be purchased
with the kuleanas are ready for
occupancy. This will give suffi-
Gent room for the present without
putting the board of health to the
extra expense of building more
new houses.

Sunday School Exhibition.

A Sunday-school exhibition took
place at Iole, Kohaia, Hawaii, last
Wednesday. The large native pro-
testant church there was filled with
the Sunday-school children, their
parents, and visitors. Twelve hun
dred people were in the building,
by actual count, and many re-
NAMED outside. The exercises
were we'll executed. The children
from Napoopoo, Kona, were re-
turned to their homes by the
steamer Mikahala.

TIE Shooting Match.

The shooting match between a
number OF sharpshooters at the
association range on Saturday af-
ternoon proved to be a very inter
esting contest. The respective
teams enjoyed an elegant and
sumptuous banquet at the Airing
ton hotel after the shooting was
concluded. Col. Soper and Capt.
Zeigler were present at the banquet
as invited guests. Plates were laid
for forty-two.

Deafness Cannes ne Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the eustacian
tube. When this tube is infiamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness Ia the result. and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition bearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
Of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inilamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.

Giving Bitter Medicines.

In the case Of small children. or any
sick person where great nausea is pres
ent, or there is weak, delicate stomach,
it is both possible and easy to administer
bitter or otherwise disagreeable tonics,
such as qunine, by absorption; in fact,
1t il sometimes much better to do so, and
it is always safe. In the case OF quinine,
wet a triple dose with alchohol and rub it
gently all along the spine, over the
stomach and under the arms. This
method is especially valuable to mothers
and nurses in "home doctoring," and a
lesson in its practice should be taken
from the family physician.

sTeCKlDES OF ELEPHANTS TUsKs.
A Censury's supply Of Ivory Heaped
up In she Interior Of Africa
-Inereased Trade.

"The ivory trade shows most remark
able increase" Commercial Agent
Mohun writes from the Congo to the
state department. Ivory is the most
valuable article exported. 1t all comes
from the High Congo, both north and
south Of the river. Steamers bring it as
far as Stanley Pool, and from there to
Matadi (250 miles) native carriers bring
it on their backs. have seen in one
day as high rs 500 carriers come into
Matadi, each man carrying tusk, aver
aging IS pounds in weight. When tusks
weigh 200 pounds, which not infreQuent-
ly happens, four men carry them. Most
OF the ivory COW coming In is known az
dead ivory Some OF the elephants from
which these tusks came were killed 100
years ago, and the kings Of villages have
been storing it, placing the last tusks
brought in on top OF the pile, and when
they required some goods from the coast
traders, the tusks from the bottom layers
were taken. This custom has prevailed
for years, and it is estimated that there
is enough ivory stored in the interior to
supply the world for the next century.
1t is estimated, but upon whose Au-
thority cannot discover, that there are
still at least 100000 elephants in Central
Africa. The only live or new ivory
which now comes down ia that procured
by hunters attached to the different trad
ing houses. may add that live livery
commands higher price than the dead.
A state expedition visited native king
some months ago in the interior. Upon
leaving, the commanding officer pre-
scented the king with uniform coat.
cooked hat and sword. The king, in re-
turn, presented the officer with $50 tusks
ofivory, averaging 100 pounds each, and
provided carriers to take them to the
river. These people do not recognize the
value. and laugh at the trader for buying.
Some of these kings have stockades OF
ivory built around their dwellings,"
