did report and were Isolated at their own

deeper into the impenctrable swamps
when they learned that they might be
obliged to live at IndaD Camp, and in the
swamps they will remain until some legal
steps are taken to secure them and isolate
them.
The board of control OF the leper home
has now suggested to the louisa Da leg

crate in securing a uniform law which
shall prevent the emigration OF lepers from

experienced by the government of Hawaii,
where laws Were enacted which made the
concealment of case OF leprosy. or the
aiding of a leper to escape deportation to
Mookai. a misdemeanor punishable by
n fine or Imprisonment. Notwithstanding
this it is only with the greatest difficulty
and by constant watching that the au-

SOME NOVELTIES.
Pretty and Appropriate Gifts for
Your Men Friends

our Men r friends.
If in search OF a little gift for a man,
there is nothing more chic than a goliing
or yachting matchbox. The matchbox
is OF silver, with an enameled design on
the lid, showing golfers making various
strokes; collection of these boxes, with
a golfer using the putter; another where
lie wields the lOfter: still another in which
he is shown with the mashire, and SO on,
would make an unique gift or gifts, and
an appropriate one, if the recipient hap
pened to be a golf enthusiast.
For a yachting friend, more suitable
would be matchbox with an enameled
design representing a chronometer on a
yacht in full sail. Stamp boxes, to hold
three differently priced stamps, and
large enough TO contain good number
OF each, have accurate copies of the
stamp done on the lid in enamel. The
smokers gOndola'' would surely prove
an acceptable present to any man who
is fond of the weed. The gondola, which
is an exact copy in miniature of "a Vene-
tian floating boat, has space for cigars,
with q spirit lamp, cutter, and dipper; it
is silver gilt and nattily fashioned.
