HOW THEY KNEW.
Inside History of Opium Captured on
the Australia.

The vigilance of the Customs Off
GERS in capturing 100 tins of opium
on the Australia's last trip was due,
it is learned from the San Francisco
papers, to the foresight of Capt. How
ard, superintendent of the Oceanic
dock. He overhauled a member of the
crew going aboard the night before
the steamship sailed with twenty tins
of opium in his possession. The Gus
toms authorities were notified and
made an investigation, but on finding
that the stuff was stamped, let it go.
Steward Seeley was instructed to no.
tify the Customs authorities here,
which he did, before the vessel enter
ed the harbor. Assistant Steward
Barry knew as well as his chief that
the Customs officials were on the look
out for the dope, so that he was very
much surprised when he was arrested
as being one of the smugglers.

M'CORRISTON'S PLANTATION TO
BE STARTED.
Move to be Made for Developing the
Molokai Lands-The Neglected Isl
and to Make an Advance This Year.

1t was given out unofiicially today
that the old sugar plantation at Kam-
alo, on the Lahaina side if Molokai
island, is soon to be revived. The mill
and plantation buildings were burned
to the ground a few years ago and the
cattle were turned in on the cane
fields. The loss to the owners of the
plantation was not total, as the prop
erty was insured for $4,000.
Since the fire no effort has been
made to start the plantation until
now. The place has become ranch;
the land belonging to the McCorriston
Brothers and Deputy Sheriff George
Trimble of Molokai. Frank Foster.
who is associated with these gentle
men, was in the city few days ago
from Molol<ai and he confirmed the
report concerning the plantation to
one or two parties. About 800 acres
will be put under cultivation to begin
with and it is understood that mill
will be erected this year.
Molokai has been much neglected
island. Because the lepers are seq
regated at Kulanpapa, the Impression
seems to prevail that the entire ISL
and is occupied by the leper settle
ment. This is not the case. Only a
small peninsula on the north and two
deep valleys walled in by lofty cliffs
between two and three thousand feet
high, are used for the unfortunate
lepers.
The island has remained undevelop-
ed in spite of the great possibilities
offered there. At Kamalo, where the
new plantation is to be started, the
climatic conditions and character of
the soil are very similar to those at
Olowalu, on Maui, place noted for
IT'S success in sugar cane cultivation.
About kaunakakai, on Molokai. has
also been discovered to contain soil
and other conditions suitable to the
raising of cane. True, there is a lacl,
of surface water, but artesian wells
can be made to overcome this draw
back. There are many other places on
Molokai on which coffee, fruits and
vegetables can be raised successfully

Gladness Comes

With n better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-rpleasantc efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness arc not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipatcd condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That Is why IL Is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects IRE due to the fact, that 1t is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. IT is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti.
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slsillful
physicians, but II in need of n laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and givesmost general satisfaction.

The Origin of Hail Columbia.

Perhaps few people know that our

iginally called "Washington's March

Trenton bridge as Washington rode
over 1t on his way to be inaugurated
at New York, and during his adminis-
tration 1t was always played on state
occasions, or whenever Washington
appeared In the box at the theater.
1t was composed by Pfyles, the leader
of the few violins and drums that
passed for the orchestra. The air
had sort Of martial ring that caught
the ear OF the multitude and soon be-
came very popular. When Adams
was president. In moment of great

Men Who EesINo Pain.

Nearly everybody knows that the
kaffir has an extra skin beyond the
number apportioned to the white man.
and the fact of this additional cuticle
may account for the extraordinary in
sensibility Of this race to physical pain.
The following facts are vouched for by
the writer as being absolutely correct:
In smithy near Bloemfontein one
afternoon some one noticed strong
and pungent smell as of flesh burning.
On inquiry being made 1t was discov-
cred that a stout kaffir boy was stand
ing barefooted ON a red hot horseshoe
which had somehow fallen to the
ground. Strange as it may seem, he
had not the slightest knowledge that
the burning mass was beneath his foot,
and although an enormous blister was
soon raised, he averred that he felt no
pain whatever.
All the black men have the reputa-
ton of owning thick skulls, but what
will be thought Of the kaffir who fell
from second story window, about
fifteen feet, humping his head on the
ground as he fell, and who rose after
a few seconds, brushed the dust from
his hair and pursued his way, laugh
ing at the incident.
Another instance of this extraordin-
airy insensibility to suffering comes
from cyclemaker's shop in Johannes
burg. A kaffir, in the course of his
work, had the whole of his forefinger
nail on the right hand torn OF by the
machinery. In an instant he plunged
the mutilated member into a vat con-
tanning boiling alum, and bore the pain
with simply O. slight vince. BY resort
ing to this course he showed himself
an adept in the art of self-cure, for
day or two later the finger was pain
less, and the nail soon grew again.
But the extraordinary part Of the BUSH
hess is that process which would
probably have made the ordinary white
man lose consciousness did nothing
more in the case OF the kaffr than elicit
grin of pain. --Pearson's Weekly.
