The people on the other islands
refuse to receive goods imported
from America and Europe, in steam
ers thoroughly disinfected, and only
leaving Honolulu after weeks
quarantine, and nobody blames
them for their precaution. Is it not
wise for Honolulu people to be
equally careful in receiving freight
from cholera stricken Japan on
steamers in which no sanitary pre-
cautions have been taken and which
arrive here with clean bills of health
although never quarantined in the
infected ports from which they hail,

Referring to the enclosed petition,

to enlist your assistance in their at

The slaughter houses at Iwilei are
pronounced to be as absolutely and
thoroughly clean as is possible to
have them. This is said after full
inspection of them. The locality
ought to be--and no doubt will be-
changed as early as possible, The
floor is caulked and elevated at a
pitch which allows proper flushing,
hut does not allow filth or overflow
to remain within the enclosure. The
place is whitewashed frequently, say
once week or oftener. Every pre-
caution in sanitary way is taken as
often as possible. So far so good.
The pigs are now kept within their
enclosures, which are probably
cleaner than ever they were before.
But public safety demands their re
moval, and the owners in both cases
are more than willing, il arrange
ments can be made to do everything
that will add to the public safety or
remove any cause OF complaint. 1t
now rests with the Board of Health
to attend to matters-especially in
the case of the hogs.

DANGEROUS TOYS.
Gum Balloons and Bagpipes That Spread

Gum Balloons and Bagpipes That Spread
Loathsome Diseases. .
There are few persons who walk along
the streets of London whose attention
has not been directed to the exceedingly
ingenious toys which are sold by the
itinerant vepders for the delectation of
children. One of these is a hollow tube
of paper, furnished with q short piece
of bamboo at one end, mp to which it is
coiled by the action of a very slight steel
spring. On blowing into the bamboo the
coil is unrolled and reaches forward
nearly a yard. The sudden extension of
this coil produced by blowing in it is q
source Of great amusement. Toy bag
pipes are also popular c~ontrivances.
These are not blown in the usual way,
but the breath of the performer is made
to initiate a small india rubber ball,
which, once blown into, supplies suf-
ficient air to play q few bars of any
popular tune.
Our contemporary, The Lancet, has
called attention to the possible conse-
quences of buying these toys, which, it
says, are presented to a child after hav-
ing been inflated by questionable breath,
and perhaps wet with the moisture
of the still more questionable lips of the
vender. An infected mouthpiece, it
says, has not unfrequently been known
to be the origin of grave constitutional
troubles. This is perfectly true. Persons
who would hesitate to drink out of a
glass that has been used will buy and
present / Is of this kind to.their chill
dren, not knowing by whom they have
been used or by what disease they may
be contaminated. Among the impover-
ished makers and vendors sore threats,
diphtheria and contagious fevers in ev-
cry stage may be raging, and children
may contract fatal diseases even of q
worse character than any we have men
toned by blowing and using these quos-
tionable toys. Surely it is only neces-
sary TO call attention of persons to the
evil, for careful supervision would pre-
vent the dissemination of loathsome
disorders by these means. LONDON

A. Melville Bell Of Washington, Ii
his note on s.Syllabic Consonants, !" read
at the second session of the American
Oriental society in this city, said:
What is is q vowel? What is u con
sonant? What is a syllable?
IA vowel is defined as q nonfriction
al emission of the voice or of unvocal
lied breath through an oral channel
with ~momentarily fixed configuration
Vowefs therefore run smoothly into one
another by merely altering the shape OF
the oral passage without i~nterrupting it
"A consonant is defined as an inter,
ception of the breath or voice by Oral
stoppage, or by emission through side
channels or through narrow chinks
The change from one consonant to an
other thus involves a motion of the ar,
ticulating organs, producing, with more
or less a~udibility, q puff, a flap or a sib-
iliatinp.
Tho two classes of elements meet in
ee, Y, 90, W. A syllable is any vocal
element uttered with a single impulse
of voice. All the vocal elements in, q
syllable must be clustered together with
out admixture with nonvocals, but any
number of nonvocals may precede or
follow the vocal cluster without affect,
ing the syllable unity.
THE consonants /, m, n, when they
are final after consonants, frequently
form syllables without vowels, as in
bottle.
THE test of good pronunciation is
to give each syllable its own distinct
sound, so that in the most rapid utter
Rnce the ear a trace the boundaries
of every syllable. But the syllable
sounds must be true to customary pro-
nunciation.
THE name consonant, if held to i'm
nounced without a sonant or vowel,
would be q misnomer, and its use
should in that case be discontinued in
scientific m~enology. Vowels are the
soft and plastic substance of speech
Consonants are the articulations or
joints on. which vowels and syllables
turn. Their proper name is, therefore.
'articulations, not c%onsonants.
Phonetic elements make syllables.
Syilables make words. Words are to be
considered as the syllables of clauses.
Clauses must be carefully in~dividualiz-
ed, for they are the syllables of sentences
Divide your sentences into their logical
units or clauses, and indicate within
the clauses all their phonetic units or
syllables, and you will fulfill the grand
fundamental precepts Of delivery. ~

kIPLING'S KIND ACT.
A Story About the Famous Author That
Is Not Unpleasant.

1t has become the fashion of literary
photographers to print whatever stories
Of a disagreeble nature concerning Rud-
yard Kipling they can hear or find. In
cidents showing the other side of the
man-the true side, in fact-are rare,
but that this wonderful author is not
quite the literary barbarian which he is
SO generally made out to be finds but
stronger evidence in a little story which
/ heard quite recently.
Not long ago an ambitious young
writer composed his first story. He was
rather skeptical of its merit, and being
a great reader and admirer of Kipling's
work determined to send his literary
tirstborn to Kipling for criticism. His
friends tried to dissuade him from the
idea, telling him that he would never
see his story again But his faith in his
favorite author was strong, and the
story went to Kipling. A week passed
by, and finally nearly a month had
elapsed. The young writer suffered keen
~ from the ridicule of his friends in the
meantime, and, truth to tell, his faith
began to waver. During the fifth week,
however, a letter came postmarked
"Brattleboro, VT" and the young
writer opened it with feverish haste.
There was his manuscript, true
enough, but scarcely could he recognize
it. Kipling had evidently put days of
work upon it, making corrections, sug
gestions and interlineations until the
story contained more of Kipling than Of
its original author. With the manu-
script came a letter, in which Kipling
said that he was not ''in the habit OF
doing this sort of thing, because it took
so much time" But in this case he saw
q good chance to make s5 for a particu
lar fresh air fund in which he was in
terested, and if Mr.. -- thought the
work he had put ON this manuscript was
worth that sun he would be glad to re.
ceive it for his fund and would send q
