Speaks at Cleveland o., of Mission
airy Work Here.
Miss Mary Green has recently visited
Cleveland, O., and this is part of what
the Plaindealer newspaper tells of an
address by the Honolulu lady at the
First Congregational church:
Miss Green spoke of the work of the
missionaries in Hawaii and declared
that one of the most discouraging
things she had to contend with in her
work among the natives is the fact
that so many dissolute Americans go
to Hawaii and set bad example to the
natives. Another serious difficulty is
the fact that so many of the natives
are addicted to drink. She said that
they had their own native drinks and
had learned to use European and Jap
anese drinks besides. Before giving
her address Miss Green repeated the
Lords prayer in the Hawaiian tongue

Text OF the Existing Law Concern.
ing These Animals
Following is the law of 1890 on the
subject of rabbits here. 1t is proposed
to amend and make more stringent

in lately quite often and the fear has
been expressed many times that they
will get into the lantana and become a
pest:
The keeping and breeding of rabbits
in the various Islands of the Hawaiian
Kingdom is hereby prohibited
Any person who shall keep or shall
maintain for breeding and rabbits in
any of the Islands of the Hawaiian
Kingdom is guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding 500
for the first offense and upon convic-
ton thereof second time shall be pun
ished by a fine not exceeding 500 and
Imprisonment at hard labor not ex-
ceeding two months.
Any police officer or other officer of
the peace is hereby authorized to des-
troy any rabbit found in this kingdom
and no officer destroying any rabbits
shall be liable for any damages for
such destruction to any person claim
ing the ownership of such animals,
provided that no officer shall enter in
any inhabited enclosure for the pur-
pose of taking or destroying any rab-
bits, without authority of law under a
warrant duly issued
This act shall not apply to any per-
son raising rabbits when such rabbits
are kept in a confined state and only
intended Or kept as pet animals.

Deafness.

1t has been stated that three persons
out of every FIVE in this country who
have attained the age of 40 years are
more or less deaf In one or both ears.
A large proportion Of this deafness is
caused by catarrh, and medical treat
ment for difficulty Of hearing is usually
directed to the catarrhal source. In Eu-
rope much of the deafness is hereditary.
DR.. James Kerr Love of Glasgow re-
Gently read paper on deafness before
the Royal society Of Edinburgh, from
which it appears that congenital deaf
ness may be either hereditary in the di-
rect line or in collateral branches, and
that it depends on not one, but many
anatomical defects. Intermarriage Of
deaf persons perpetuates but does not
accentuate the tendency of deafness.
The hearing brothers and sisters of deaf
mutes are as likely to have deaf mute
offspring as il they had been deaf mutes
themselves. Consanguinity of parents
emphasizes family defects, and in this
way many cases of congenital deafness
occur. One of the most singular points
Of DR.. Loves paper was the assertion
that the state had the right to control
the marriage of persons belonging to
families badly tainted with deafness.

Obituary.

Susan j. the wife of SoloE II. Eveleth, died
at her residence, Austin, Ill July 4. She was
formerly the wife of George T.. Bell, of the firm
of Bell K johnson OF the Quincy House, Boston.
Mrs. Eveleth was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Jonas Thompson of Embden,
Maine, and half sister to the late Joel
H. Gray. When quite young she went
to Boston and a few years afterward
married the late George +. Bell of the
firm of Gray & Bell later Bell and John
son, proprietors of the Quincy House,
and that city was her home for twenty
five years. In 1882 she married a second
time, Scion II. Eveleth of Chicago, H.,
and went to that city to live. After a
period of about two years they moved
to Austin which has been her home ever
since. Her fatal illness covered pc.
Rod of more than two years. The re-
mains were brought to her former home
in Hillsboro, n H., Tuesday July 8, tor
burial. Her age was about 60 years.
She leaves a husband and two sisters.
Mrs. Eveleth was rare type of noble
womanhood and possessed in a large
degree that faculty that makes one
agreeable and happy. Always cheerful
gentle in her manners and cordial in her
greetings she won the esteem of a very
large circle of sincere friends. Many
warm friends in this section of Maine as
well as elsewhere will mourn her death
as that of true and sincere friend.
The following kind words relating to
Mrs Eyeleth are from the Austin I'll }
Enterprise: "She was one of those rare
natures born to bless the world and to
brighten the lives of all whom she came
in contact with. Her charities and
benevolences were manifold. The poor
of Austin and Moreland will long have
occasion to rise up and call her blessed
Her Inequalities were dispensed with a
free hand and warm heart, yet there was
no ostentation in her labors of love, and
her right hand did not know what her
left hand was doing. Her loss will be
felt in the community for a long day
Many friends unite in sympathy for her
husband as well as grief for their own
loss

SERVANTS IN JAPAN.
They Render Excellent Service IL They
Are Treated with Confederation.


Japanese servants are excellent if you
choose them with discretion and treat
them with the established consideration
of the country. There is a universal So
cial compact in Japan TO make life
pleasant by politeness. Everybody ID
more or less we'll bred and hates the
man or woman who is yakamashu-
noisy, unciyil or exigent.
People who lose their temper are al
ways in hurry, bang doors, swear and
swagger, find themselves out of place
In a land where the lowest cody learns
and practices an ancient courtesy from
the time when he wabbles about as
baby upon his mother back. Therefore
to be treated we'll in Japan-as perhaps,
indeed. elsewhere-you must treat every"
body, including your domestics, well,
and their you will enjoy the most pleas
ant and willing service.
Your cook will doubtless cheat you q
little, your jinrikisha man will now
and then take too much sake. the mus

fight cocks in the back yard when your
back is turned, but if conscious of your
own you can forgive the little sins of
others. You can hardly fail to become
closely attached to the quiet, soft voiced,
pleasant people, who as soon as they
have learned your ways will take real
pleasure in making life agreeable to you.
A present now and then of a kimono
to the maids, of toys and sweetmeats to
the cfultiren days holiday now and
then granted to the theater or the wres-
tling match are richly rewarded by such
bright faces and unmistakable warmth
of welcome on arriving and of good
speed on going as repay you tenfold.
Respectful as japanese servants are
and they never speak except on their
knees and faces-they like to be taken
into the family conversation and to sit
sometimes in friendly abandon with the
master and mistress, admiring dresses,
pictures or western novelties and listen
ing sometimes to the samisen and koto
