one trouble with most of them is that when
they do little good the patient has to take
so much that he gets TO loathe the taste.
The Pinoola Balsam is superior to other
cough remedies because it is agreeable to
the palate and its good efforts arr imme-

We know of but one community in
the world where dyspepsia is practi-
cally unknown, and that is the Shakers
of Mount Lebanon, n. Y. These good
people have been studying the subject
Of digestion for more than hundred
years, and that they understand it
pretty thoroughly, is evidenced in the
foregoing fact. Their Digestive Cor
dial is the safest and best remedy in
cases of indigestion that we know of.
A trial bottle can be had through
your druggists for the trifiing sum Of
10 cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial sup.
plies the system with food already di-
gested, and at the same aids the di-

instantly relieve the ordinary symp-
toms Of indigestion, and no sufferer

LepeTs Escape.

About a fortnight ago two native
Iepers escaped from the settlement
In Molokai and, obtaining a canoe,
set out, as their ancestors did in
Olden times, to cross the channel
and make for Oahu. A search was
made for them and one man was
found. He was taken Immediately
to the Kalihi station and will be
sent back. He says he has no
knowledge of the whereabouts of
his companion, no trace of whom
has yet been struck. There will be
an examination this week of the
nineteen lepers now at the Kalihi
station preparatory to removal to
MolOkai.

CHIEF CROWLEY ON OPIUM.
Reduction of Tariff Has Increased
Revenue From the Drug.

Chief OF Special Agents Crowley
OF San Francisco, in his report sub
mitted to the United States Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, says that the
provisions OF the tariff act OF 1894,
reducing the duty on opium from
$12 to So a pound, has caused a
marked decrease in the amount
struggled into this country, and a
cores onding increase in the
amount brought through the Gus
tom House upon which duty i
paid.
To substantiate this claim ne
points out that in 1898 the total
duty collected on opium at San
Francisco was 1862, 664; in 1894
the amount collected was 1899, PIP.
while in 1895, with a 30 per cent.
reduction Of the duty, the collec-
tions footed up 1913 O4. He be-
ieves that il the duty was reduced
to II a pound the demand for the
inferior British Columbia product
would be leSSened TO Sucn an eX-
tent that its manufacture for IL
legal import into the United States
would be practically discontinued.
The smuggling OF the Chinese
drug would then be centralized at
the ports on the Pacific seaboard,
where it would be met more sue
cessfully by customs officers, while
the customs revenue would be in
creased very largely by the addi-
tional duties paid upon the in
creased amount brought through
the Custom Houses. Mr.. Crowley
believes that it has been clearly f.
demonstrated that the use of opium /.
cannot be entirely eradicated by
duties.

CONSUL = GENERAL MILLS.
Interviewed in San Francisco by the
Chronicle.
PrnI-e for the Republic of Hawaii
I'm Dealing Wi,h Cholera.
Taking "a vacation.

Ellis Mills. the American Consul
General at Honolulu, who has
signed all the consular letters dur
ing the cholera excitement, arrived
here Yesterday on the steamer Mar
iposa. says the San Francisco
Chronicle OF October 18th. Copies
Of a Honolulu paper containing
vigorous attack upon him came on
the same vessel. The newspaper
articles demanded that the Govern
ment should demand his recall up
on the ground that he drank 10
excess and was generally untitled
for the position.
Mr.. Mills won general commend
alton by his tireless devotion to
duty during the epidemic. He
took the greatest pains to person
ally see that every passenger taken
from Honolulu for an American
port during the whole time was
properly fumigated. The fumigat-
ing was done in his presence. He
insisted upon this before signing
any of the statements that he did
sign.
When Mr. Mills was seen on the
steamer yesterday he said: II
have made four attempts to get
away from the islands and to my
home in Staunton, Va, on a leave |
of absence, but each time some
thing has prevented me from get
ting away. The cholera kept me
busy day and night for weeks, and
after that / was sick and under

had the malaria fever and a very
severe attack.
Il cannot too highly praise the
OF Hawaii for the
manner in which it handled the
cholera epidemic. No expense was
spared. Houses were torn down
md plantations of rice drained.
The Government will have to pay
or all this. 1t so happened that :

Alpine Accidents of 1895.
ON the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
Statistics relative to the accidents which
have happened on the Swiss and French
Alps have now been published. The facts
have been collected by the French Alpine
Club. Three persons lost their lives on
Mont Blanc namely, Herr Schnurdreher of
Prague and two guides. Previously, a NJ.

for twenty minutes buried under an ava
lanche, and was rescued in deplorable con-
dition. On August "a last Emile Rey, a
guide, who vas accompanying an English
man to the summit of the Giants Needle.
lost his footing ard was dashed to pieces.
These We're the fatal accidents on the
French Alps, but the list Of casualties for
Switzerland Is much longer. 1t includes
three Englishmen-MisS Sampson Of Lon
don, who was killed near Zermatt; Ber-
nese printer and an engineer from Lucerne.
Eight persons lost their lives in the Tyrol
and on the Italian Alps. The Alpine Club
has also noted the accidents which hap
pened to persons plucking edelweiss on the
Drinks of the precipices or to daring but I'M
skillful mountain climbers, who persisted
in making ascents without guides. The ac-
cidents of this kind are said to be very nu-
merous every year, and do not serve the
least warning for other foolhardy persons,

TOMMY ATKINS CURL.
Gen. woIseley Orders That 1t BE Sac
rificed.

rifced.
From the New York World.
One Of the latest Of the many new regu-
lations that have been imposed upon the
british army since Lord Wolseley was
placed In command of II is that the cher
ished curl that has for the past quarter
century peeped out from under Tommy
Atkins" forage cap shall go. This is an
order that strikes directly to the heart of
the private soldier, for the curl, on the
WHOLE has long been his most valued pos
session and his great point Of distinctive
ness The new rule Is not regarded with
favor by the nursery maids, for their adj
mirers will now possess a monotonous IRON t
of military brow when on parade The
curls have been varied, often really artis-
tic, and one and all smooth, shiny and well
oiled.
In the late seventeenth and early eigh-
teenth centuries the soldier went into bat
tie with flowing wig, though it OCCASION
ally happened that in the heat of a charge
he would throw it off and plunge at the
eremy with greater ardor. Marlborough
broke the power of Louis XIV in a volu-
minous peruke, and wigs and powder were
the invariable accompaniment of the con-
tinental soldiery of that era.
1t was not until the peninsular war that
the crop-hared, clean-shaven soldier came
into style. This vogue originated in Eng
land, and the soldiers who adopted 1t
swept Napoleon's marshals from the Pc
ninsula and crushed that world conqueror
himself at Waterloo. The rule of no beard
and strangling collar prevailed in the Brit
ish army until the Crimean war when 1t
was relaxed in order that the soldiers might
better Withstand the rigors Of the Russian
winter. Since then the English war office
has allowed Tommy Atkins" to wear his
hair more comfortably long. the maximum
length now being half an inch at the back
and sides OF his head.

REUBEN,s TRAINED COONs.
A Wisconsin Farmer Who Hunt

A Wisconsin Farmer Who Hunts
Chestnuts With II Very Queer Pack.
From the Chicago Times-H erald.
Reuben White mas six trained coons that
about this time of the year are worth good
deal to him, for they help MIN gather chest
nuts, and the money that he gets each year
for chestnuts form the biggest part of Reu-
lens income.
He lives in a narrow valley, about two
miles north of Ringoev, in Wisconsin. in a
little cabin that he has built out of logs.
stones, rails and fragments of boards.
When Reuben sets out in the morning on
a chestnut trip the coons follow him like a
pack of dogs and when tree is reached
White sets a basket with low sides, on the
ground, and swapping his fingers and way
ing his hands in different directions sets the
coons to work.
The animals spread out and range over
every inch of the ground paving over the
leaves and shifting like dogs on the scent Of
prey. When coon runs across a nut he
snaps it up with his lips and slows it away
inside his mouth like chipmunk. The ami
nal has a capacity for carrying about half
pint of chestnuts in its mouth, and when
the limit is reached he trots to the basket
and drops them into it.
The hunt Is kept up until the ground has
been thoroughly searched. In the meantime
White Is pelting the tree with clubs and
gets eff all the nuts he can in that way.
When clubbing fails to bring results the
coons are sent up to shake the tree. At an
order to "go up the animals scurry up the
tree and traverse every limb. going to the
tips of the small branches and shaking
them vigorously
The coons work with great expedition.
and when they rave gone over the tree
there are not nuts enough left on it to fill a
quart cup, provided the burs are well opened.
When the animals get back to the ground
they soon clear the ground Of the nuts.
Reuben says when the season for chest
nuts Is good, In a day. with six coons he
can gather four bushels Of chestnuts. and
when the market is ordinarily good, that
means between $40 and SIP.
He calculates that each coon is worth to
him about $50 year. He says the animals
are very fond of chestnuts, but they never
attempt to eat them when they are gather
ing the nuts.
"When git 'em home nights" says White

which 50 little had fallen to her share,
responded sparely. and Felicia, after wash
ing the tea things, had retired to the back
window to get a breath of air while medi-
tating upon the exciting events of the day.
More than on anything Maud Branham
had shown her, Felicia dwelt upon a hint
Maud had let fall of helping her to better
her fortunes.
Il have a cousin, Mrs. Dwight Caldwell,
who goes to Newport every summer, from
New York. the bride observed, land I
think, though l am not sure, 1 heard her
say she wishes to engage a secretary to
take there with her this year. 1 can easily
ask, Felicia. and I'm sure, If you got it
you'd be in luck. Such a splendid estab-
lishment hers is-this of mine would be
swallowed up in it-and they entertain
everybody and go everywhere. She is one
of the people one reads about in the society
columns of the Sunday newspapers. Her
husband is a nice fellow, but he spends
most of his time at the club. Sally Cald-
well certainly goes at full speed in society,
but she has always been a good-natured
thing when I've seen her and don't doubt
you'd be good friends. 1 shall write this
very night and ask Sally. and how awfully
jolly it will be If l succeed"
Felicia, in her calmer mood. recalling
Maud at school a kind, chattering but
somewhat dense creature. had moments
hesitation about trusting to the judgment
of her friend. But all night long her

the door for her into a wonder world of
luxurious beauty; above all, opportunity
to see something beyond her ustomed
horizon, to breathe fresh, delicious at
mosphere, tc see everywhere sights of re-
fined loneliness. Oh. it was too good to be
true.
A few days later a note arrived from
Maud Branham, asking Felicia to lunch
con the next day; and when Felicia pre-
scented herself as desired no time was lost
by the young matron in communicating
her great news. Sally Caldwell was al
ready at Newport; Sally Caldwell had Just

her eyes. When she recovered her self
possession enough to speak. it was, wo-
