kiIauea CyclOrama.

Word was received by the last mail
that the very advantageous site as
signed the Kilauea Volcano Cyclorama
several months ago for the Omaha Elk
position, had been given to another at
traction. The space, which was on the
main court. was held till Mr.. Hebron
wired that he would not leave here to
handle the attraction. Effort was made
to continue the option, but failed. Mar
tin Smith learned this on arrival in the
States. An offer has been made to 10
cate the cycIorama on the Midway, but
it is doubtful if the lessees accept this.
The Midway is the home Of the cheap
er and lesser attractions and the CYCLIC
rama will scarcely be exploited in such
company.

most delicious fruit of the tropics. But
there was not interests enough in it to
establish a Botanical Garden and pay

orange trees in full bearing, but they
are not interested enough in fruit cul-

making orange cultivation a business.
There are several attractive orchid
attempts to engage in the business of
exporting rare orchids, or of teaching
young people how to engage in it.
1t is pretty we'll settled that many
economic plants will grow here. What

INDUSTRIES.

No doubt there are number OF per-
SONS on these Islands, who are much
interested in flowers, plants, and to
some extent in their economical uses.
There are some experiments made IN
their cultivation. There is, however,
as much difference between amateur
experiments in cultivation and "busi-
ness" cultivation, as there is between
militia parade drills and active war
fare.
For many years the finest winter let
tuce and cucumbers were brought to
New York City, in car loads from the
hot houses in Cambridge near Boston.
Why were they not raised near New
York? The retail dealers said: mo
one knows how to do it." The Boston
gardeners said: "The climate of New
York is unfavorable, even under
glass" The agricultural papers said:
cit is a shame that the people near
New York do not raise those fine hot
house vegetables" And so years went
on. In the meantime and for many
years, the late Charles A. Dana was
producing for his own use in his hot
houses on Long Island, not 20 miles
from N. Y. the very finest lettuce and
cucumbers. At last German gardener
on the outskirts of Brooklyn began in
a small way to cultivate these vege-
tables for the market and his intelli-
gent neighbors followed his example,

people met with the most serious com

My mother was subject to sick head

She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day happened to read ties.

Sounded So Truthful
I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods SarsaparilIa and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is AZ years old and says she feels as we'll
