4 School Girls Nerves.
From The Ne,o Era" GreensourO, Ind.

Mothers who have young daughters OF
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
development Of their body is of the first i'm.
portance. After the confinement of the
school room, plenty of out-ofdoor exercise
should be taken. 1t is better that their
children never learn their a, b. c's, than tina,
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this is selfevident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, if rightly applied,
may save your daughter:
The young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes.
the ffteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Stephen Barnes, who lives near Bur-
ney, Ind. She is a bright young lady, is
fond of books, although her progress in this
line has been considerably retarded by the
considerable amount of sickness she has ex-
perienced. She has missed two years of
school on account of her bad health, but now
she will be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.
Her father was talking of her case 10 a
newspaper man one day recently. my
daughter has had very serious time of il, /"

was twelve years old, she began to grow
weak and nervous. 1t was, of course, a deli

was continual twitching in the arms and

had to take her from her school and her
studies. She was strong and healthy before,

SUNDAY LAW.

DR.. Newman Smyth, a noted
Congregational theologian of New
England, severely criticises in the
Congregationalist, the recent Sun
day law passed by the Legislature
of Connecticut, because it forbids
any secular business or labor; the
opening of any shop, or the sale
of any property on Sunday.
He claims that it makes, 'the
statute book an exhibition or moral
laws, hung up for ornamental pur-
poses only" He would approve of
laws which forbid the making of
noises on Sunday, just as the liber-
al German laws forbid the march
ing of professions with bands, dur
ing the hours of worship on Sun
day. He would moi allow liquor
to be sold on that day, because ii
prevents the man, who keeps a
Saloon" from resting, as other
business men rest. He would re
quire a simple rational observance
of the Sabbath, and keep "imprac
ticable moral legislation off the
statute books" Sunday legisla
ton, he claims, fails, when it aim
"by positive force of law to secure
moral and religious results"
These views are not those of on,

England. The students OF Yale
College hear his preaching Tie
is a high authority in religious
literature, although he had an "un-
pleasantness," with the trustees OF
Andover theological seminary, and
came near being sentenced to ex-
plate his crime of heresy on a theo-
logical scaffold.
He sees clearly, what the theolo-
gians for a thousand years, have
not seen, that men cannot be legis-
lated into goodness, piety, or a
'better life" Legislation finishes
its work, when it prevents men
from clawing each other to pieces.
When 1t undertakes to order them
to be better, it fails. One of the
members of a Western Legislature,
in America, introduced bill last
year, making the Ten Command
ments, the law of the land. If such
law had been passed, it would
have been only one more foolish at
tempt to make "short cut" to the
Millennium.
When the Church studies whole
some legislation, from the stand
point of reason, it gives some evil
dence of the vast power for good
which lies within it, and is some

majority of men into taking abb
surd views, but when it is a ques-
ton of pure reason, it seems IN
deed strange that men should not
agree. The report before us of this
debate says: mo vote was taken
either ON the merits of the debate,
or on the question itself. All of
the speakers were generously APP
plauded. If volume and duration
are considered a test, the demon
stration, at the end of Mr.. Kel-
logg's address would show that the
majority were annexationists."
We purposely omit from our
columns much that was said
against annexation in the debate as
a good many people don't care
about what "the other side has to
say" on any question, and like the
gamblers at the Roulette tables,
believe they are always right. The
argument of Mr.. W. FL. Mills, is
one of great breadth and power,
and shows the almost irresistible
course of American expansion, and
the logic of it, in the annexation
of these Islands.

Forty-Nine Tins Found on the

June 17th,' the date of the arrival of
the steamer of that name at the above
mentioned place, was captured in the
engine-room of the steamer Mikahala
by Guard Kanuu, a native with de-
cided capacity for ferreting out the
whereabouts of contraband articles.
He was assisted in the search by
Guard Kaomea.
The Port Surveyor had encountered
some time previous the notes of a
very small bird, and, hearkening unto
its voice, he sent Kanuu and others to
watch the tide rise and fall about the
Mikahala 1t was at l p m. when Mr..
Stratemeyer went to Captain Campbell,
Superintendent of the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company, and made
known the suspicious he had, at the
same time asking him to be allowed
to make thorough. search of the Mi
kahala. The answer received was not
alone in the affirmative, but Captain
Campbell added that he was very anx-
ious that the Customs officers should
make thorough search. He was more
than anxious that the slippery trade
should cease and the guilty parties, be
whom they may, brought to justice.
Mr.. Stratemeyer had business up
town., and left Inspector Storey in
charge. Captain Campbell, the in
spector named and Guards Kanuu and
Kaomea went aboard and, after search
ing quite while, came away without
anything. On the way up town Cap
tain Campbell met the Port Surveyor
and told him that nothing could be
found.
In the meantime, Kanuu and Kao-
mea had gone aboard again and were
rummaging about in dark corners. An
other call to the engine-room was
made by Kanuu. Upon opening the
transom used as a place to store the
tools of the engineers, he suddenly ran
upon two gunny-sacks containing
one package of 10 and the other
package of 20 tins of opium. The re-
naming 10 tins we're scattered about.
Kanuu called the other officers to his
assistance, and then ran to tell the
Port Surveyor.
No one has been arrested, nor is it
possible that any one will be. How
ever, there are suspicious.

DEBATE ON ANNEXATION.

1t remains for the Pacific Coast
to furnish the most intelligent,
sincere and exhaustive debate on
the Hawaiian question, that has APP
peared in the United States. Over
$50 members of the Unitarian de-
nomination, recently dined togeth-
er at the California hotel, in San
Francisco, and according to pre-
vious arrangement debated the
question. Very many prominent
men were present. Senator Per

Hutchinson, one of the ablest
members of the bar, John P. Irish,
Mr.. M. III. Myrick, Mr.. Sheldon S.

Iof politicians, but the earnest talk
of public spirited citizens, who
had no personal stake" involved
and were simply discharging then
duties. The fact that such a large
number of prominent men agreed

tors quietly listened to the speech,
but made no reply. They were
rather disguised that a trouble
some question should be raised,
when they were already up to their
necks in a sea of other troubles.
Especially the Senators from the
great commercial States, felt that
the young men from the West

wash their faces, brush their teeth,
sit quietly down, fold their hands,
and reverently listen to the East

United States, ito mind their own
business"
The American Press, in the ex-
citable mood of a part of own local
Press, has been, for two years, pre-
dieting an explosion of blood and
thunder, from the Americans, but
there seems TO be some reluctance
on the part of the President to
start this explosion. He knows
perfectly well that when trouble
really comes, the Jingoes are be-
hind the fence, and will furnish
neither funds nor soldiers for a
fight. The Press finds in the
whole affair a capital business OPP
portunity to sell rumors of dread
full things to come, at high prices,
and then to sell contradictions of
the rumors at the same or higher
rates, according to the state and
demands of the news market. The
average newspaper reader gets just
as much instruction and recreation
out of the contradiction, as he does
out of the original rumor.
As he usually forgets one day,
what the rumor and contradiction
were on the previous day, he feels
like the man who has taken alcohol
stimulants, the effects of which
have ended; he would like the ex-
citement of new rumor and a new
contradiction.
Beyond any doubt, millions of
people sympathize with the Cuban
rebels. They would encourage
other people than themselves to
make some sort of a sacrifice on be-
half of the victims of Spanish ven
geance. But they are not quite
to make the sacrifice them
selves.
The American nation is like the
good and respectable farmer who
is able enough to thrash his can
and weaker neighbor,
who has thrown dead cat into his

tackles him, the low minded neigh
