Looking Into Blight.

James Stanes, a coffee planter of
Nilgerry Hills, Southern India, is
in the city looking into the coffee
industry here and investigating the
blight and its remedy. Mr.. Stanes
arrived by the Coptic, and will
visit plantations on Hawaii before
leaving here.
He states that the crop in India
has been very materially reduced
through the ravages OF the blight,
and that, up to the time of his de-
parture from his home, nothing
had been introduced that would
eradicate it.
The coffee in India, Mr.. Stanes
states, is picked entirely by coolie
labor at an average cost to the
planter of $1.75 per man a month.

Secretary OIney Says Captain
Ross Is Not.
THIRTY YEARS RESIDENCE \ BAR.
1t il Only Al Rumor, but IL Comes
Straight-MuSt not Remain Away
too Long-Similar Cases I'm Eu-
ropean Capitals-CIafms Affected.

1t was rumOred on the street
yesterday that the State Depart
ment at Washington had refused
! to consider the claim of Captain
John Ross against the Hawaiian
Government for damages. This
is one of the cases growing out of
the January revolution.
The grounds for the action of
Secretary Olney are stated to be
briefly these: That Captain Ross
while an American citizen to the
extent that he has never renoun-
ced his allegiance to the United
States Government, the fact that
he has remained away from there
and has been engaged in business
outside the limits of the territory
of that government is evidence
sufficient that he did not intend
to make the United States his
place of abode.
\ ruling of the same nature
was made recently by Ambassa-
dor Bayard in the case of certain
individuals, Americans, who have
been identified with certain busi-
ness affairs in London for the past
| twenty-five years. Another in
| stance was the case of Il dentist
who had been practising his pro
fession in st. Petersburg for TWEEN
ty-fOur years but who had been
living away from the United
States for thirty years. Once in
two years it had been his custom
TO call at the United States Lega-
ton and have his passport re
issued for two years more. On
Il recent visit he was notified that
his passport could not be renewed
because the United States could
not consider a man a citizen who
kept himself away for so long n
! period, and that such documents
were issued to tourists and per
sons sOjOurning for limited time.
Upon appealing to the State De
partment he was informed that
he might receive a new passport
by visiting the United States in
person and presenting an applica-
ton. The individual did as re
oupStpd and when he received his
passport he found that it was
made out TO read that he was not
to engage in business. He was
informed at the same time that
the passport would not be re
neWed.
If this rumOr is correct. and
there seems to be no doubt about
it, the citizenship of half a hun
dred prominent people here will
be affected. 1t is impossible that
the ruling regarding citizens Of
the United States residing in Ha-
waii, is just only from the stand
point of an official in Il democratic
administration. Inquiry was
made at the foreign office yester
day regarding the rumOr but moth
ing had been heard of it officially
or otherwise. AS the case had
never gone into the foreign office
here and as Secretary Olney would
not consider it the officials here
would not be advised Of the
matter.

Swallowed Table Knives For Fun.

The glass caters, iron chcwers and all
other classes of human ostrichcs" are
we'll known to the frequenters of dime
museums and side shows, but it is seldom
that we see, read or hear of man who
swallows indigestibles of extraordinary
size just for the novelty OF the thing
Such man, however, was John Cum
mings, whose history is given in extended
notices in the medical and surgical annals
of Boston He watched French sword
swallower one day and Immediately after
attempted Il similar feat with common
table knife. The knife accidentally slip
ped down his throat, and few days later
it having given him no inconvenience, he
repeated the experiment Both of these
exploits took place at Havre dc Grace
Franco. On his return to Boston he boast
ed of the feat, and upon being bantered
repeated the dose again and again. Dur
ing the following ten years he swallowed
in all 35 knives and forks, finally dying in
terrible agony. He died in 1S09.-St

He Kept the Watch.

"I was at Old Orchard ono timo and at
tended ono of the meetings led by Rev.
Stephen Merritt, " said a Lewiston gentle
man to Lewiston journal reporter.
after a short address tho people wero in
vited to lay their jewels on the altar for
missions. Women wept as they tore of
earrings, bracelets and gold rings. Dia-
monds were given freely. Mr.. Merritt
himself placed gold watch on the altar.
Finally up rose one man with aponderous
frame and slowly pulled from his pocket a
shining gold watch. 1t was worn, but
was still handsome thing. He held it in
tho palm of his big hand as he looked al
it, I have lost that watch, he said. 1t
has been all over the world with me.
Like Mary's little lamb, it was always
with it's owner 1t was the parting Gif;
of a dying mother. To part with it would
be like the giving up of a brother. Yes,
love it, and I'm going to keep it, and

MEASURING AIR lMPURITY.
John Atkins Koniscope and What 1t Has
Demonstrated.

The koniscope, the invention of John
Aitkin, Is useful instrument for rough
ly testing the purity of the atmosphere
1t consists of n small metal tube about q
feet or 2 feet long, which is closed at the
ends with pieces of glass and is connected
near one end to an air pump, stop COCK
near the other end admitting the air to be
tested. All the shades of blue, from near
ly pure white to a deep black blue, are at
tached alongside the tube for comparison.
AS the impurities of the air or number
of particles present increase the color seen
through he tube deepens, color just per-
ceptible being given by $4,000 particles to
tho cubic centimeter, very pale blue by
so, 900, pale blue by 800, 000 fine blue
by l. 500, 900, a deep blue by 2, 500, 600 and
a very deep blue by 4, 900, 900.
In making sanitary inspection the
color given by pure air is determined first
and is taken as the normal health color.
In tracing tho pollution of air by gas
flames in room "a by II by ID feet in
size Mr. Aitkin lighted three jets in the
center Of the room, and in 35 seconds the
products of combustion had reached one
end of the room, causing a sudden deepen
ing of color in the koniscope. in four min
utes tho deep blue color was obtained two
feet from the ceiling, and in 30 minutes
the impurity nine feet from the floor was
very great, the color being an intensely
deep blue.-Cincinnati Commercial Ga

Good Points Of a Horse.

Henry Childs Merwin has paper IN
the March Century on 1.-The Horse Mar
ket, from which the following is ex-
tracted:
And this brings us to consider what are
the marks of a good serviceable horse,
such as most people want to buy. The
chief points are the eye or the head; for.
whether on the score of safety or the
is to have horse that is intelligent and
gentle, or one that is intelligent and
vicious, rather than stupid, for stupid
horses are the most dangerous of all
Every horse shows his character in his
head, and chiefly in the eye. just as GER
tainly as man shows his character in MS
face; although, as in the case of men, IL
is not always easy to read what is Written
in the equine features. But as to horses
of positive character, positively good or
positively bad, there need be no mistake.
once bought n mare OF dealer, Tor a
woman's use without even taking her
from the stable. She seemed to be sound
and felt sure from her eye that she was
unusually gentle and safe, and SO she
proved to be. On the other hand, OUT OF
six or eight horses shown to me at sale
stable ON another occasion, l rejected one
the best in the lot otherwise-because
his eye, though not absolutely bad, was
such as to arouse suspicion; and the own
er afterward admitted to me that the AMI
nal was different from the rest III being
little "mean.
| mention these instances to show tha1
any person of average intelligence can
learn, by taking pains, to read the equine
character. Horse dealers and trainers
seldom make study Of this matter, be-
cause they do not care about 1T. what
you should look for is large, clear,
luminous eye; what you should disgust
is small eye, protruding eye, sunken
eve, an eye that shows the white, giahc-
ing backward, which indicates bad tenn
Der; and above all, {. CLASSY, tromulous
eye, which indicates stupidity. 1t is hard
to describe, but easily recognized. Ihere
should be a considerable space between
the eyes, The ears and their carriage OF
them are hardly less significant Wen
cut ears that move continually with
general tendency to be priked forward in
dictate a good and lively disposition.
Large ears if well shaped, are better than
small or mouse" ears. Lop-ears, coarse
ears, ears planted very far a part OF very
close together, are to be viewed with great
distrust.
Next in importance to the head come
the feet. They should be of medium size
neither steep like mules, nor fat, but
sloping at medium angle. The best
feet are "cup-shaped," that is, so formed
that when you pick them up they will
| hold water.
AS to the other points of horse, shall
| not attempt to go into details, because |
| fear they would convey information OILY
to those who do not need it. But this may
be said generally by way OF advise
Avoid long backed Or thin wasted, still
more long legged <horse. Lock for
compact, rather low standing beast. with
a good head, good eyes, and well shaped
ears, and you cannot go far wrong.

Masculine Vanity.

1t is q most singular thing that one
never can count upon the inherent vanity
of human nature, nor in what manner it
will manifest itself In certain social
set there is one young man who is de-
formed, besides having an affliotion which
renders his heavy breathing source of
more than mere annoyance to the fastidi-
Gus. All the girls Of his acquaintance are
so exceedingly sorry for him ard so afraid
of hurting his presumably sensitive feel
ings that they invariably give him the
preference in accepting invitations, etc.,
over any other man. Not long ago it be-
gan to leak out that he was Boosting of
his conquests. He cited the incontroverti-
BILE fact that every girl in town. seemed
to jump at any attention from him.

SIOUX MYTHOLOGY.
An Interesting Study of the Works Of the
Great Mystery.

Before the advent of the white man these
people believed that the earth was fiat,
with circular form, and was suspended In
a dark place and sheltered by the heaven
or sky in the shape of a hollow hemisphere
The sun was regarded as the father and
tho earth the mother of all things that live
and grow, and as they had been married
long time and had become the parents OF
many generations they were called the
great grandparents. AS near as l can
Judge, the moon seemed to be their serv-
ant at least she was required to watch,
together with her brothers, the stars over
the sleeping universe while the sun came
down to rest with his family. In the thun-
der bird they believed God had a warrior
who presided over the most powerful ele-
ments--the storm and tho fearful cyclone.
This symbolic creature is depicted as an
impatient and wrathy son of war, at whose
appearance even the ever smiling GRANDPA
ther. the sun, hides his face. In the realms
of water the whale is the symbolized chief
of tho fnny tribes. In every great Lake
the Sioux imagines a huge fish as ruler of
its waters.
Yet none of these possesses the power of
speech. The great mystery had shown
them some truths denied to man, but he
did not trust them fully; therefore he made
them dumb. They can only show to man
some supernatural things by signs or in
dreams-as, for instance, to forctell future
events or explain the use OF certain power
full remedies. The savage holds that the
key of heaven is vested in tho visible phe-
nomena of the universe. All creatures,
save man, are assigned to peculiar para
disc, in which there is forbidden fruit
namely, the apple of speech and reason
ing. hence the animals and inanimate
things are exempted from sin. Thus it is
that rocks, trees and rivers are surrounded
with an atmosphere of grandeur, beauty
and mystery. Nature is the interpreter of
the great mystery, and through her man is
convinced of ruth.-Popular Science
