MONGOOSE IN HAWAII.
They Have Proven a Great Pest
Here-DeStrOVS Game.

Some five or six years ago the
mongoose was imported into the
islands for the purpose of extermi-
mating rats in the cane fields. Va
rious methods were adopted to rid
the fields of the vermin, but all
signalIy failed until the little ami
mails were brought from Jamaica.
They are repeating in Hawaii what
was done by them in the island of
Jamaica. After destroying rats in
the cane fields the mongoose have
attacked birds and fowls, material
Iy decreasing their number by eat
ing eggs and the young. As a con-
sequence there are but few quail
and turkey on the islands. Es
pecially is this noticeable on Ha-
waii, in the vicinity of the volcano,
where previous to the introduction
of the mOngOOse species of this
game were plentiful. The country
in that locality is simply alive
with the pests, for they have proven
to be that. They attack as we'll
young fowl and sucking pigs, and
have been known to attempt to
carry off grown animals, after first
causing their death by strangula-
ton. As the mongoose finds the
rats, toads and crabs disappearing
it attacks sitting fowls and carries
off their eggs, and kills young pigs,
kids, lambs, calves, pups, kittens,
poultry and game birds, destroys
fruits and vegetables, and is sus-
pected of sucking sugar cane, eats
meat and salt provisions, and
catches fish.

An Important Office.

To properly fill its office and func-
tions, it is important that the blood be
pure. When it is in such condition,
the body is almost certain to be
healthy. A complaint at this time is
catarrh in some of its various forms.
4 slight cold develops the disease in
the head. DrOppings of corruption
passing into the lungs bring on con-
sumption. The only way to cure this
disease is to purify the blood. The
most obstinate cases of catarrh yield
to the medicinal powers of Hoods Sar-
saparilla as if by magic, simply be-
cause it reaches the seat of the disease,
and by purifying and vitaliziug the
blood, removes the cause. Not only
does Hoods Sarsaparilla do this but it
gives renewed vigOr to the whole sys.
fem, making it possible for good
health to reign supreme. HoBRoN
