"Sunburn," said the polite doctor,
SIS only universal frecIle. and if you
know what freckles are you know what
sunburn is as well as | do myself.
Lentigo (our name for freclles) is an
excessive deposit Of pigment in the
skin, appearing as small, round, or ir-
regularly-shaped pin's-head or pea
sized, yellowish, brownish, or blackish
spots. They are seldom seen before
the third year, and with advancing
years they may disappear permanently
Persons with fair skins, and par
ticularly those with red hair, are espe-
cially liable to their development;
nevertheless they appear in brunettes
and mulattos. A freclJle is shown by
lnicroscopical examination to consist
essentially of a circumscribed collec-
tion of normal pigment cells in the rete
mueosum. Chloasma Oliver spOt) diff

Of the patches.
But 1 cannot describe sunburn as
a universal freclSle without calling at
tention to one important distinction.
FreelSles are sometimes due to a morbid
condition of the system. I have had
patients not ordinarily subject to

that one bronzes more quickly from

"But sunburn is much more than
this" continued the pleasant physician.

HAWAIIAN FRUITS.
An Immense Orchard of wild Ohias-The
Hawaiian HuckIeberry


Hawaiian Huckleberry.
The ohia, or Malay apple, is q COM
mon timber tree of the Hawaiian isl.
ands, though not peculiar to that local
ity. On the island of Maui is a manu-
moth orchard of wild ohias, extending
from the sea to the mountains, and
measuring 20 miles in length by from
five to ten miles in width. The trees
are from 40 to so feet in height, some
OF the largest yielding nearly 50 pounds
Of fruit, the total crop being said TO be
sufficient to fill fleet of 100 steamers.
The beautiful crimson or white apples,
however, are unfit for transportation,
as they last but a short time in a good
condition.
Near the Volcano house on the island
of Hawaii are great thiclIets of the
ohelo, or Hawaiian huclleberry wac
cinium reticulatum), which the natives
consider sacred TO Pele, the goddess
who is supposed to preside over the
famous crater of Kilauea. and which,
together with white pigs and chickens,
are thrown by them into the boiling red
lake during an eruption, to appease the
wrath of the aggressive dame, and thus
cause the rivers of lava to cease flowing
on their destructive course.
These berries grow in clusters on low
bushes right on the very brink of the
birthstone beds, and are so numerous
that a bushel may be easily gathered
IN half an hour. In appearance they
somewhat resemble a cranberry. and
the flavor is pleasantly suggestive Of

hunting hats weigh more from their

hunting top hats weigh ten ounces, and
the hunting derbies nine. A winter
derby weighs five and a quarter ounces,
varying a quarter ounce either way for
size, and a summer soft felt three and
three-quarter ounces.
when it comes to women's head

though seldom does a woman's hat of
any kind run more than seven ounces.

had to the physiologic effects of vary
ing dosage. Oertel has shown how the
simple exercise of walking may be
adapted to sufferers from cardiac de
bility by prescribing the distance and
speed and the number and length of
the rests on definite paths graduated
according to their slope. His interest
ing and original work has not only
given a new direction to the treatment
of certain cardiac affections, but is des-
tined to have an important influence in
establishing accuracy in the prescrip
ton of exercise. Whoever has studied
the map Of the environs of ReichenhaH,

plication of his method, viii acquire
vivid idea of what precision of dosing in
exercise means. In this map the diff
ferent paths suitable for the work are
marked in four different colors, to indi
cate those that are nearly level, those
slightly sloping, moderately sloping,
and steep, and figures are placed along
each route to show the space that
should be traversed IN each quarter

The Seattle Post Intelligencer will issue
on January 3, 1897, New Year edition
which promises to surpass any previous
effort in news paper work in the state OF
Washington. The edition will consist OF
40 pages or more and will contain an ex-
haustive review of the states resources,
taking up in detail the several different
industries, lumber, mining, fishing. agrl-
culture, etc. Issued at Seattle, it will
naturally devote considerable space to
that city and its envirOns, and being the
recognized state newspaper, every county
is to be represented. Writers of known
ability have been carefully selected and
matter pertaining to each county will be
handled from a local standpoint which
will do away with the usual boom matter
sent out on ''space'' basis. The edition
will be valuable one to send to friends
and relatives in the east, also to intending
settlers. The illustrated feature OF the
paper will no doubt surprise eastern peo-
Die as to the class of buildings in this
tswild and woolly west" THE ISLANDER
most heartily recommends the citizens of
this county to send large number of cop
les to the eastern states, as in no better
way can the states mineral wealth and
vast resources be better disseminated than
through the state of WashingtOn's fore
most daily. The price will be 10 cents
per copy and if names are sent direct TO
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer copies will
be mailed postage free to any part OF the
world.
