Healed by a PincushiOn.

Physicians often meet with people
who are carrying around imaginary
ailments and really believe themselves
as badly afflicted as they assert. Some
curious cases have been noted. A lady
had been confined to her bed for many
months with an illness which wholly
deprived her of the use of her lower
limbs. The doctor who attended her
failed to discover the nature Of her
affection, which might ordinarily have
been attributable to several causes.
Examination, however, revealed moth
ing calculated to throw light on the
matter, and the medical practitioner,
after patient and exhaustive analysis
and attention, came to the conclusion
that the illness was imaginary.
Although he discreetly kept his
opinion to himself, proof was event
ually forthcoming as to the accuracy
of his view. Being lifted in the sheets
out OF her bed one day, while the
mattress was being rearranged, the
lady surprised her attendants by sud-
denly jumping from the couch on
which she had been temporarily
placed, with a loud expression OF
alarm. 1t was discovered that she had
been laid upon needle cushion mad
vertently left on the sofa, and that
the sharp points of several needles
had pressed violently into her back.
The oontretemps revealed the fact
that she couldstand easily. Hartford

fragments of fossil resin were washed
down by the rivers from the pine
forests OF the district along with sedi-
ments and vegetable debris. In them
are found most perfectly preserved
remains of the period as well as of in
sect life. Fragments of twigs, leaves,
buds aud flowers, with sepals, petals,
stamens and pistils still in place, oc-

found. A recent genus, deutzia, has
been recognized by its characteristic

Wreck-Proof Mail Car.

One of the latest and most COM 1
mondable improvements made by =
Uncle Sam is robber and wreck
proof mail car, which has Just been
put into service upon some of the east
ern roads. Heretofore when there has
been a wreck, the mail car being the
frailest car on the train, was most FREE
quently the one smashed to splinters,
and the unfortunate mail clerks had
one chance in hundred of escaping
even in badly battered conditionA
The death roll of railway clerks fof
the past twenty years mounts up into
the hundreds, and scores of men have
been crippled for life in wrecks, be-
cause the mail car couldn't Withstand
the shock of collision as we'll as the
passenger coaches The new car is
designed to Withstand almost any
shock. They have no platforms at the
ends, and the framework of the car is
of tough, yellow pine, lined with 4
sheets of steel. The end parts of the
cars are framed with angles of iron,
and the whole structure is a model of
strength impervious to the bullets of
train robber and constructed to re-
siss to the last degree the rending
force of collision. If it proves sue
cessful, the government will at least
have recognized the dangerous posi-
tion of its mail clerks, who have here
tofore carried their livesin their hands,f
almost while at work on the road.

MR.. WILLIS.

The Washington Star says that
no one at the State Department
will discuss the question of Min
lister Willis personal relations with
the Hawaiian Government or the
prospects of his return to this coun-
try, further than to say there is nc
known reason why he should not
60 back unless he prefers to return
to private life, On the departure
of Minister Willis, Consul-General
Mills, Secretary Of Legation, will
undoubtedly be made charge d
affaires. He could continue to act
in that capacity in the event that
Minister Willis failed to come back
to Honolulu, until a new envoy
should have been selected. The
Washington paper rightly conjec-
lures there exist nothing at all like
the personal feeling against Min
lister Willis that many Of the daily
papers in the States pirate upon.
As a matter of fact it is exceeding
ly doubtful if man more accept
able to Hawaii could be found.
Mr.. Willis, while making commu-
nications that have often been
distasteful as documents, has per-
sonally always been careful and
courteous.

SILVER.

All of the Congressional friends
of the White Metal attended the
Silver Conference lately held in
Washington, and the results OF this
meeting, or rather the strength
shown, together with recent votes
in the Senate, have sent series OF
tremors of fright and alarm into the
gold camp. 1t has become evident
that the advocates of a liberal double
standard hold the balance of power
in the Upper House at Washington
and that they will use this leverage
tor all it is worth. Further, they
will cooperate heartily in the figh
tor silver that it is proposed to make
in the Republican National Con
vention at St. Louis. At the con
ference, when this especial matter
was thoroughly canvassed, there
were twelve delegates representing
2I7 large manufacturing concerns
with a total capital of $500, 900, ooo'
This junta included Thomas Dolan,
President of the Manufacturers
Club of Philadelphia. He raised rs
per cent. of the National Republican
campaign fund in 1888. Dolan,
his immediate associates and the
silver Senators and Representatives
will be very much in evidence al
St. Louis and will boldly play sill
yer against high tariff.

he says that "They never had
water before ! placed my mill
in operation, but now from the
5000 gallon tank they have a
constant supply for both house
and garden purposes. He
has just set out two hundred
banana trees, which are water
ed from the Aermotor.
The above letter and state
ment goes to show that the
Aermotor is positively and
undeniably the best and only |
windmill that should be used
by plantations, stock raisers,
gardeners and surburbanites
where large supply of water
is required,
The Geared Aermotor is the
most simple in construction of
all the mills on the market.
You have only to secure the
SKIS mast in position, put the
Aermotor on one end and the
grinder on the other. The
mast then holds it all.
You can belt to different
machines and drive your pump
and feed grinder at the same
time. The grinder is always
in position. You have only to
turn a hand screw to adjust
the lower grinding ring suffi-
GENTLY close and it is already
for use, or in an instant you
can put on a belt to run any
other machine. The saviI G
power effected by having all
bearings vigidly connected in
one castir g and therefore in
one proper place, is no less
important than the matter OF
convenience allowed.
The Aermotor presents one
hall the surface to the wind; it
is apparent that this other
wheel must have five times the
tail surface to make it face the
wind equally well and thereby
greatly increasing the liability
to wreck in a storm. The mere
fact that we have placed $50
more Aermotors on the islands
is sufficient guarantee OF their
superiority and desirability by
those who want a motor that
looks after itself,

LOAN ACTS.

The Minister of Finance, at the
Senate committee meeting on the
pending Loan Acts, was favored
with as good financial opinion and
advice as the country affords. He
was addressed with fine frankness,
and comment on the measures he
has presented to the assembly was
ventured without restraint. Mr..
Damon had said that he desired
criticism. This was offered freely,
in good faith by men deeply inter
ested in the public welfare and
capable of forming and expressing
Judgment in the premises. This
conference was brought about fol
the good of the country and the
outcome cannot but be beneficial
The Minister of finance has shown
rare open courage in the matter
The nature of the criticism he in
vited must have been anticipated
Being in the Government, Mr.
Damon could also see in advance
that much outside the actual ques
tons at hand would be projected
into a discussion. Happily all thai
was said at the committee meeting
was on broad lines. The points
made were against the commission
and discount figures. These are
certainly subject to alteration.
Another objection was to placing
the loan elsewhere than at home OF
in the United States. Public SEN
timent and Governmental policy
cannot be widely divorced on this
opinion. Whether orano the pres
ent is an opportune tim; for under
taking the enterprise is valid
question to be carefully determined.
The popular loan idea seems favor
ed by all. These acts are worthy
more consideration. 1t speaks well
for local confidence that stand is
made for conversion OF the loans
to a lower interest rate. That home
men are ready and willing to ad-
zee large sums is another shining
After further caucus work

upon a relocating of a portion of the

rates. 1t shouM be apparent that
