These are venerable islands. Those
who can translate the language of rocks
and the language of human bones say that
these islands have been inhabited l, 400
years at least. When found in 1878,
they were OLD places of human habita-

The Pill Beautiful.

In the past the size of pill was Of
ten, to use Dominic Sampson favorite
expression, ''prodigious. 1t was sell
dom coated except when q little flour
was sprinkled upon it-a most Elusive
method Of concealing its nauseous fla
vor, and lastly its surface was frequent
ly so adhesive III hot weather that it
would fasten itself to the organs of taste
like a linpet to a rock. The chemist
has enabled the pill manufacturer to
reduce the size of many pills by sepa-
rating out the active principles of the
crude drug in the form of alkaloids, the
doses Of which are very small, some
times not more than hundredth part
of grain.
With the aid of new kinds of ma
chinery the modern pill receives an ex-
quisite polish. A perfectly smooth and
shining surface is produced by the ac-
ton of two revolving plates. After that
the pill is stuck on pin and dipped
into liquid preparations of gelatin.
These, on drying, give it a thin, hard,
soluble coating For children pills are
made attractive by coating them with
sugar and coloring them pink, so that
they look and taste very much like con-
fectionery. Various substances have
been used for coating pills One seldom
sees now pills coated with gold or silver
leaf. 1t was found that these coverings
did not properly conceal the disagree
able odor of some drugs, as valerian and

WENT OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY.
Large Attendance the Last Night of
the Fair.
An Afternoons Racing in Which the
Favorites Had Things all
Their Own Way.

An immense crowd was present at the
Pavilion on Saturday night, the closing
one of the State Fair. 1t was a typical
summer night, and the young people of
both sexes were abroad in great mum bers.
There were many beautiful costumes
worn by the ladies', and visitors from
abroad had many compliments for the
women Of Sacramento-for their personal
beauty and excellent taste in dressing.
The summer girl was out in all her glory,
and certainly made a great hit. Many
persons visited the Pavilion after the the
aters closed. and it was near midnight be-
fore the brilliant throng dispersed and the
lights went out on one of the best expo
sitions ever held in the State.
Yesterday hundreds of visitors left for
their homes. There have been few COM
plants heard and these of only trivial
character The weather was delightful,
no extortion was practised, and there
were ample accommodations for all.
Naturally there were some disappointed
persons-those who did not happen to
secure first premiums and those who
came here to make pocketfuls of money,
but who guessed it wrong In the races;
but these things always occur. On the
whole the fair was a success.

Extensive improvements Being Made

Extensive repairs are going on at the
Free Library. Workmen are now taking
out the front stairway, and plate-glass
window will be put in at the entrance.
The window will be topped with two arc
glass transoms. The side doors will re-
main as they now are. The present read
lng-rooms will be abolished, and they
viii hereafter be in the top story of the
building.
There will be staircase leading to the

landings. There Will also be two rooms
for ladies.
The building, after the renovations
shall be completed. will be well lighted

Ihe present reading-room will be
utilized for the storage of books and
periodicals.. AS a matter of economy
1t was decided to occupy the top story
rather than extend the building in the
rear. To have done so would entail an
expense of S4 1000, but the work at present
outlined will cost but 81 200.
