HE LOVES SUNRISE.
Novelist Crockett Rises Every Day at
Enrrr

Four.
The Scotch novelist, 5. r. Crockett, was
at one time pastor OF a country church at
salary of 81 200 year. His income at
the present time is estimated at $4,000
annually He is an early riser. and writes
as follows concerning this habit: Every
morning, summer and winter, I've had my
cold tub, and am ready to begin work at
4:30 O'Clock / should feel I'd missed one
OF the keenest pleasures in life in missing
the sunrise. 1 always go out to look at it,
no matter how busy may be. 1 seem to
see the world recreated tbcr, and to share
in the sense OF being newly born myself
Perhaps I've gone to bed discouraged, feel
ing it is not-never can be-in me to do the
work 1 would do. But in the dawn every
thing seems possible for me. Six hours
sleep is all l take, because it's all need"
Mr.. Crockett is typical looking Scotchman,
with full beard and brswny arm.-New

Before Now.
Current report says tho Ha-
waiian Islands have hitherto been
free from epidemic pestlencos,
with the exception OF smallpox
but investigation shows this to be
incorrect. In the first place II
there had been no epidemics here
where would the natives have.
obtained or required any use for
the word ohuidu, which is trans
latable by no other word than
epidemic" The existence Of
this word in language so concise
as that of Hawaii shows that a
necessity had existed for its use.
There are no means Of trac-
ing the history of former cpl
denies, except from traditions
handed down in native fam
lilies, but experience has shown
from the earliest ages that tradi.
ton has been a faithful recorder
of actual events, aud much more
reliable than many of the hlstor-
ians of old. According to this
authority there can be no doubt
that an epidemic which decimat-
ed the native population swept
these islands from end to end in
1904, but very little information
is obtainable as to its character,
and we must again go to the Ha-
waiian language for information.
The words used in describing this
fearful epidemic were MAI okuu,
meaning literally "the sickness
of diarrhea," and the symptoms
as translated literally from the
traditions prevailing in old
Hawaiian families were as fol-
lows: "A man squatting on
his mat in the Hawaiian
custom would place his hands
over his stomach suddenly aud
vomit and die before he would be
able to rise from the ground"
While these symptoms may be
some what exaggerated they
clearly point to cholera and taken
in connection with the word
ahulaW make it plain beyond a
reasonable doubt that the epidem-
ic which swept these islands in
1904 was clearly cholera of the
most virulent kind. Where it
came from we have no means of
knowing, nor how long it stayed
and how it was wiped out, but
from the accounts handed down
from native sources, we do know
that it carried off it's victims not
only by hundreds but by thou
sands.
Those who have made a study
of Hawaiian say that the word
ahuLau, corresponding to our word
epidemic, means literally "piling
up one on another or in great
numbers" which is another argu-
ment in favor of the deduction
advanced.

ing coreus TO these islands. Says
Captain Brewer, who was, in 1881,
first officer on board Of the brig
lvanhoe; "Our supercdrgo had
taken on board the brig some
boxes of plants. Among others
was a night blooming cereus,
which apparently had died, and
Mr.. Perkins told me e. throw it
overheard, which he supposed |
had done; but, thinking l saw
some signs of life in it, 1 placed
it in the after hold, and nursed it
with great care, and in about three
weeks it revived and proved to
be a very handsome flower.
When we arrived a. Honolulu,
(from China) it was taken on
shore and was great curiosity
to the inhabitants. One evening
the supercargo had large company
of ladies and gentlemen to see it.
The flower was in full bloom.
When / was at Honolulu in 1879,
i found the plant no longer a
curiosity, for the walls in many
parts of the town were covered
with it."

A wonderful change has come
over the Kona district in the past
two weeks. The little lady bugs
sent up by Commissioner Mars
den have made their appearance
in countless numbers, and have
totally cleaned out the blight in
that short time.
