The famous volcano Kilauea, in the
Hawaiian Islands, is the largest in the
world "Kilauea," writes DR.. George
w. Johnson, lis a picture of ever
changing demoniacal life and power. 1t
would have been the delight of the
medieval artists who taxed their i'm
aginations in representing purgatory.
Visitors to the Columbian Exposition
will remember that the model of this
volcano in the Midway was one of the
most impressive exhibits at the fair.
But such representation, however
vivid, appeals to only one sense. In
the crater itself all the other senses
unite with that of sight in giving an
impression of unearthly destruction
and fury. Hissings, throbbings, roar
ings are heard, heat Is felt, and sui
tasted. Anon the crust of lava breaks
and disappears in the depths below,
while through the opening are project
ed streams of molten fire, which illu-
mine the night with fearful radiance,
then, spraying into a golden shower,
they rain upon the surface below.
The light flashes from the distant
cliffs, and strange forms shape them
selves in the changing light. Any one
who wishes to know how demons look
need only watch these shadowy forms
around this internal caldron. From
time immemorial the natives believed
Kilauea to be the home of their great
goddess Pele, and here with her at
tending demons she bathed in the fiery
pillows. Animals and human beings
were cast into the crater to appease
her wrath, and even to this day does
she not tear her hair. 'Pele's hair is
a brittle floss spun by the wind from
the molten lava, and may be carried
away by any tourist as material evil
dence of her majesty's existence. Only
few years ago Princess Likiliki, sis
ter OF King Kalakaua, sacrificed her

own life to appease this malevolent
goddess, who was believed to be pre-
pairing a great eruption which might
cost the lives Of thousands. The vol
cano is peculiar in situation. Instead
of being at the top of a mountain the
crater is approached by descending
two vast terraces, and it is not visible
from any point at greater distance
than half a mile. 1t is supposed that
it was originally cone, which, having
blown or burned out its INTERVALS"
collapsed to its present form Of vast
lake, eight miles in circumference and
fifteen hundred feet below the rim.
This lake contains about sixty small
conical craters, many of which are in
almost constant activity. The tout
ensemble of the crater at night is
more horribly sublime than anything
which can be imagined even in the Wis
ions of unearthly things. The sur
face of the lake at times has all the
agitation of an ocean; billow after bill
low losses its monstrous bosom in the
air, and occasionally those from differ
ent directions collide and burst with
violent defamation, accompanied by
magnificent pyrotechnics. At times the
surface appears solid, save for few
breaks or seams. These lines form
continually, changing figures, like a
kaleidoscope. Outlines of grotesque
animals, shore lines on maps, artistic
designs and geometrical forms follow
each other in rapid succession. Since
there Is no danger in watching this
display, visitors remain entranced for
hours. old Faithful is a periodical
lava fountain. which rises from the
lake Of fire, and performs on schedule
time. Kilauea is itself periodical in
activity. Several years of quiescence
will be followed by year or two Of
great activity. The last eruption broke
out January 3, 1896. From the Chica-

1t is a typical Massachusetts town
OF which one of the veteran officials
states a suggestive fact-that the ag-
gregate values of the pianos, organs,
sewing-machines, carpets and similar
articles of luxury now owned therein
exceed the whole valuation of the
town as it was forty years ago. In
1857 only a fraction of the so-called
rich possessed such luxuries, which in
1897 are found in every household -
so many concrete proofs that, for all
the loose talk of the disconnected, the
American standard of life and comfort
tends constantly to rise.

Treasure trove interests everybody,
says Andrew Lang in Longman's Mag

crowns of gold, set with precious

peasants near Toledo. One of the
crowns has the Gothic name of SUM

Who buried them? We shall never

They Have Indigestion.

A reader in the state of Washington
meets with a difficulty which is very
common, and We give his letter for the
benefit of others. says the Poultry
Keeper. He says:
WIFI you kindly tell me through
your paper what allied one of my White
Leghorn pullets? While letting my
fowls out this morning 1 noticed one
OF this springs pullets sitting all
bumped UP on the roost. lifted it up
and looked for lice, but could not sec
any lice which could have put her in
that condition. While l had her head
down there was about half of a tea
cupful of green Shiny water running
from her nose and mouth, which had
a very sickening odor. Her head and
eyes were not swollen. My hens have
free range, and all the extra food they
get Is quart of wheat for fifty fowls
scattered in litter on the ground. 1
forgot to mention that the pullet died
in five minutes after l had let its head
hang down. l also have a Brown Leg
horn that acts very strange. She turns
around in circle at times, seems to be

one side to the other. She lays regu-
larly, and eats without difficulty. All
the rest of the fowls are in good con-
dition."
His fowls have free range, yet he
fed wheat. The two hens mentioned
have Indigestion. phey may have got
ten more than their share. but the fact
is that no wheat at all should be given
under the circumstances. Further, The
males should have been removed from
the flock, as they may be the cause.
The remedy is to confine such hens in
yard with no food at all for AZ hours,
giving two drops OF tincture OF nux

Typhoid fever, consumption, diphthe-
ria and scarlet fever are all germ dis
eases and milk is a substance in which
these germs will thrive. The
wash water from a house where
typhoid exists, may drain through
the soil into the well and con-
taminate it. This disease affected
water. if used to rinse milk pans OF
cans. or to set cans in to cool milk,
may be the means of transmitting the
disease to the milk and thence to the
human subject. All intelligent physi-
clans and dairymen, in consequence,
recognize the necessity Of great clean
illness about the COW stable and dairy,
having sanitary conditions of high
order. With these features enforced,
with healthy cows, wholesome food and
proper milk delivery. one should. be
able to supply the market with pure
milk. The enforcement OF good sani-
tary conditions about cows supplying
city and town consumers Of milk Is
mainly within the control of boards OF
health. No persons, however, should
have a greater interest in this matter
than the consumers themselves. II the
patrons of persons supplying consum-
ers with milk would visit the farms
and stables from which their milk is
derived, they would be able to ascer-
tain reasonably we'll If the sanitary
conditions are favorable or not to
healthy or wholesome milk. Persons
giving milk to young children, certain
ly should examine into the source OF 1t.
II this were done by more parents the
mortality each summer among young
children would be far less. Every pro-
gressive, intelligent, fair-minded milk
producer will welcome an inspection OF
his cows, stables and dairy by his pat
rons. The man who does not is not
safe one to buy milk from. Consum-
ers should put premium on the char
acter of the milk supplied them, and
should in every way possible encour-
age the efforts of the dairyman who
endeavors to place the best article on
the market. Within very recent years,
some dairymen have begun to sell milk
which has been handled with extra
care, to insure a high grade purity and
wholesomeness. This is sometimes
called certified milk" due to the fact
that the producer certifies as to the
feed and character of his cows and the
handling of the milk. Others pas
teurize" or heat to a certain temporal
ture their milk or cream, to destroy or
injure disease germs. if any perchance
occur in 1t. At one fine dairy in In
diana all the milk is sprayed through
sterilized aid and then made very cold
in an air tight chamber, after which it
Is bottled. These improved methods
of preparation are bound to become
more common each year, from the very
fact,if for no other, that they receive
the Endorsement of the intelligent
physician. Our consumers should en-
courage this production. Progressive
dairymen, selling pure, hlgh-grade
milk should be encouraged. The con-
sumers should show their appreciation
of their efforts. One, however, cannot
over-estimate the Importance OF con-
sumers familiarizing themselves with
the source OF their milk and it's sur
roundings, and insisting that condi-
tons be of high sanitary character.

land has been pointed out by Professor
Bryce, the distinguished author of
"The American Commonwealth" Pro.
fessor Bryce has been looking into the
matter, and says he finds that several
branches of British engineering have
come to the United States as a result
of the paralysis Of industry caused by
the strike. This. of course, is a good
thing for us and an exceedingly bad
thing for Great Britain. When losses
of all kinds come to be reckoned up
it will be found that the engineers
strike has been one of the most disas-

In these days of the '"higher criti-
cism'' it is rarely that a clergyman is
found who sticks to the Bible in its
literal sense without undertaking TO
put his own Interpretation upon It.
Rev. Mr.. Torrey, however, declares his
belief in the oldfashioned orthodox
hell, and the liberal preachers will have
some difficulty in attacking his posi-
tion. 1t has become fashionable to in
sist that any particularly unpleasant
passage in the Bible has "figurative
meaning" altogether different and
much more agreeable. 1t is this con-
tention which Mr.. Torrey attacks. and
from an orthodox standpoint he is en-
tirely right. If men may interpret the
Bible to suit themselves it loses Its
authority as a divine inspiration. 1.

Child labor in factories is generally
defended-when it is defended-on the
ground that it helps to support 'fami-
lies. To this claim writer in the
Charities Review intevposes the sound
objection that the wages of young
children are seldom large enough to
make the difference between pauperism
and independence. When a family re-
lies on these wages, it is pretty sure
to depend also on help from public
or private agencies. Therefore, since
child labor too often undermines both
health and morals, why not increase
the charity fund, and put the child to
school? Viewing the problem merely
as a matter of arithmetic, it would be
cheaper to support a good many un-
fortunate people than it will be, later
on, to defend society against their ig-
norant or vicious children.
