PLAGUE N HONG KONG THE MYSTERY F PAIN
THE CHINESE MASSES RESIST ALL
FIGHTS AGAINST IT.
Concealing the Stricken and Dead -
Percentage of Nictims-Not Recog-
nizing Necessity for Burial.

European physicians who have had
experience in China during cpidemcs
have been obliged to combat many
stubborn prejudices of the natives,
says correspondent of the New York
World. I'm 1894 the plague attacked
Hongkong about the middle of May.
From fifty to 100 deaths occurred
daily. From the first the Chinese
strongly objected to the removal of
their sick to European hospitals. They
did not understand the necessity for
segregation. They preferred to die in
their unclean surroundings among
friends than to accept the chance of
a lonely recovery at Il hospital

sorted 70 conceal the sick from search
ing Parties we've many ana ingenious.
Nearly parallel was witnessed IN
handling the natives of the Hawaiian
Islands in 1895. \ system of house to
house visitation had to be organized
to overcome the dangerous secretivc-
ness of the Chinese. The efforts of
the cleansing and disinfecting staff
were rendered almost futile by the
dislike of the natives to sanitary pre-
cautions. The epidemic caused $3.50
deaths before it ceased in early Sep
tcmher.
The necessity of burying the dead ia
common graves was II great shock to
the feelings of the natives, and finally
led to open rebellion. Concessions had
to be made to the ignorant and des-
peratc CeleStials and the presence Of
the Chinese medical attendants in the
European hospital was permitted.
Chinese to the number of 100000 left
lIongkong while the plague was rag
ing. Their demand that their plague
stricken relatives be allowed to ac-
company them was, of course, not
granted. OF the Chinese patients who
were attacked by the epidemic only
Is per cent recovered, while 81 per
cent of the 4. Iropeans afflicted were
restored to health.

A Scene In Jamaica.

Rio Nueva is little station between st.
Ann and Port Maria, Jamaica. This place
Is no more nor less than large banana
plantation. The manner in which they
loaded the fruit on the small boats here
was very amusing and interesting and
might have been dangerous to any one else
but those accustomed to it,. To load the
boats the men and women had to wade
out into the surf, which was rolling very
high, and now and then the waves would
knock them down. These people seemed
to enjoy it and made great sport of it,
whooping and yelling, laughing and sing
ing oil the time The water did not hurt
them nor did it hurt their clothes, for
they had on little or no clothing at all.
This being warm country, there is no
need OF much clothes. Galveston News.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
solve me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.

this line and have just received lot of the

WHAT ARE IT'S CAUSES AND WHY
Is IT PERMITTED.
The Great Work that Is Being Done
by Bright Minds in Alternating HUI
man Sutfering-A Case Affording Il
Striking Illustration.

From the time when man first peo-
pied the earth down to the present day
the mystery of pain has filled all
hearts with wonder and terror. What
are its causes, why is it permitted,
and what its uses are in the great
economy of nature? All these ques-
tions men have asked to themselves
and of one another, but the question
has found no solution. All that can
be done is to devise ways of relieving
physical suffering and bright minds
have assisted tender hearts in bringing
aid to the afflicted. All the vast re-
sources of natures laboratory have
been pressed into service to the end
that the tortured bodies might have
surcease from anguish, and know the
peace that only health can bring. And
what more natural than that victims
of disease thus released from suffering
should desire to aid in the extension
by they have been benefited? Among
those who have been thus benefited
is Mr.. 5. Louden. of the Washington
Feed Co., who is we'll and favorably
known to so many of our citizens. In
1889 he came to Honolulu and has
since engaged in several lines of bus
mess, the last previous to his present
venture, was that of retail grocer
commanding a large patronage from
among the best families. Speaking of
his case Mr.. Louden said: "For the
past five years ! have been great
