sovereignty of Hawaii resides in a

The Republic is to blame for this
terrible change in our peaceful little
country. When Bridget shot Patten
on Fort street eleven or twelve years
ago the town was shocked because
the use ef the revolver was virtually
unknown here. There was great
provocation in that scrape and the
assault of Patten on the other man
might have justified the rash act.
Chief Justice Judd held in the
Court at the trial that a man has no

posed at all hazards to prevent the
evil practice of carrying firearms in
this country.

An erroneous impression was
created through an item which ap-
peared in a contemporary in regard
to a lot Of opium imported here by
the Australia. 1t was stated that
about twenty tins Of opium we're

charge of the ice house, feels indig-
nant over the insinuation that he
should have opium in any part of
his department - in such small

dope was brought on board the

parcel was marked "goods" and the

A WIDESPREAD MALADY.
How Malaria Starts, Develops, Kills
and Is Killed.

How Malaria Starts, Develops, Kills
and Is Killed.
Malaria Is essentially the disease of
spring and autumn, and among all the
infectious diseases 1t Is geographically
the most widespread. 1t is a disease
OF the tropics as well as the temperate
zone, being entirely absent in the frig:d
zone.
The malarial bacillus, the prime
cause OF the malaria plasmodium, lives
In the soil, and may be taken into the
system through contaminated water,
the atmosphere, an open surface, or in
any other way by which germs make
their entrance into the human body.
Once there, the malaria plasmodium,
as the germ Is called after 1t has en-,
tered the blood, begins its destructive
work in the blood cells. poisoning the
blood often to an alarming extent. One
single germ may develop into any
number of plasmodia, and they multi
ply very rapidly. This multiplication
Of malaria plasmodla goes on in vri-
Gus ways. 1t is ut first scarcely more
than small black dot. Then it reach
es out in different directions, forming
fresh plasmodia. Sometimes these
plasmodia take on the shape Of n ro.

ate growth that does its destructive
work of poisoning the blood. so depict
ing the blood cells that they collapse
and shrink and take on the shapes here
illustrated. The malaria plasmodinm
darkens the blood, hence the sallow
complexion Of its victims. which is
most striking In those whose whole
system Is saturated with malaria.
There Is no uniformity about The
time of these malarial attacks, but the
disease usually prevails when the soil
is being plowed by the farmers in the
spring and fall. 1t Is found in locali-
ties where great decay OF vegetable
matter is constantly going on, as in for
ests and swamps. Frost destroys the
malaria bacillus, and during a severe
winter the germs nearest the surface
are rendered harmless. But those be-
low the point of freezing, when expos
ed to the warm sun after blowing time,
are very apt to be revivified, becoming
as pernicious as ever. The malaria
plasmodium yields only to quinine or
arsenic, and these plasmodia are in
variably found In the blood cells Of
malarial patients before the admins

application the pIasmodia disappear.
While malaria is not necessarily a
serious ailment, 1t may lead to after
