DINED AT HALEIWA.
B. F. Dillingham; Entertains Par
ty of His Friends

Mr.. B. F. Dillingham; entertained a
party of guests at dinner last evening
in "Haleiwa," Waialua. The train
which conveyed the party left the city
at 2:45 and reached Waialua at 4:55.
Dinner was served at o'clock in the
large dining-hall of the hotel. One of
the subjects debated in the dinner table
talk was the aphorism Brillat-Sa-
varin, the Apostle of Gastronomy,
THE discovery of new dish does
more for the happiness of the human
race than the discovery of a planet
Mr.. Dillingham;, as the Lord of the
Table, and the host, declared that he
could pass no judgment, for, while he
eaten planet.
Kipling's toast to the tropics was
drank:
ITO the cool of our deep verandas,
'To the blaze of our jeweled main.
ITO the night, to the palms in the
moonlight,
And the FREELY in the cane
The train swung out in the moon
light homewardbound at $50 p. m. and
reached the city at 11:4O.
Mr.. Dillingham's guests We're: Col.
and Mrs. Mills, DR.. and Mrs. McGrew,
DR.. and Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Turner, Miss

ANOTHER YACHT RACE.
Gladys and La PaIoma Will Race
to Lahaina and Back.

The next yachting event of impor-
tance will be the race between La
Paloma and the Gladys next Saturday.
The course will be to Lahaina and re-
turn and with our usual channel
weather it will be good test of the
comparative sailing qualities of the
two yachts in rough water. La
PalOma has a great advantage in size
but Captain Hebron has unbounded
confidence in the sea going qualities
of the Gladys and the race is apt to be
a warm one.

snIppers who Reaped Harvests With Gooas
 Not in tbe Manifest.

The recent discovery of finding goods on American fishing vessels not down on the manifest calls to mind an incl dent that happened years ago, the truth of which the writer and some otH- CTS as well can vouch. The fact that smuggling has been continually going on for years can best be illustrated by the arrival of a fishing schooner at the mouth of the Kennebec with wines and liquors from St. Pierre, N. F. The skipper gave out that fishing was failure and the craft was hauled into a secluded cove and apparently aban- doHed. Not so the cargo, for the crew proceeded up the river, where they succeeded in hiring an old decked scow. Returning at night the cargo was transferred to the scow and se- curely hid beneath the deck, when suddenly afterward the craft and crew conceived the idea of going up river on an ceiling trip. The necessary bar reIs, with all other equipments neces- sary to a successful trip were put aboard, and the scow, piled high with eel traps, sailed away for Gardiner, where she arrived later and tied up at Clark's wharf in then Pittston. Public curiosity was aroused by the novelty of this new business, and numerous visitors watched the men as they placed and pulled their eel pots here and there, while the captain explained the process and the amount of money there was in the business. After few weeks of this desultory kind of fishing the craft sailed away, the crew largely enriched by this perhaps original man. ner of selling a high grade of liquor to parties in the secret, who were all men of distinction and good judges of what they bought frequently in large quan- titles. Perhaps it is needless to say that the eels were never shipped. but returned to their natural element at a proper season. Most of the men who sought and did enrich themselves in this case I have mentioned are now dead, but the system still remains. and 1t is indeed remarkable the customs of f1cers have so long been ignorant Of the fact.

A HUNDRED REASONS
fhn FQnH kAO LdGL

Gan be given why Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets are the best and most et- fectual cure for every form of indiges- ton.
 They are in the tablet form which retains 4heir good qualities indefinite Iy, while liqnid preparations become stale and useless with age.
 They are convenient, can be carried in the pocket and taken when needed. They are pleasant to take.
 After each meal dissolve one or two of them in the mouth and, mingling with the foeds they constitute per- feet digestive, absolutely safe for the most sensitive stomach.
 They digest the food before it has time to ferment, thus prevent ting the formation of gas and keeping the blood pure and tree from the poisonous pro- ducts of fermented, half digested food.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only remedy designed especially for the cure of stomach troubles and noth- ing else
 One disease. one remedy; the suc- cessful physician of today is the spe- cialist, the successful medicine is the medicine prepared especially for one disease.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the complexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
 They increase flesh by digesting aesh-forming foods.
 A whole package taken at one time would not hurt one, but would simply be waste of good material.
 Over six thousand men and women in the State ot Michigan alone, have been cured of indigestion and dyspep sia by the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

Grateful Chi.

A Boston family had cat of which they thought great deal. The cat was sick, and in spite of careful nursing, catnip tea and all they could do, the eat grew worse, and they had to call the doctor. The doctor soon put pussy on her feet again.
 Not long after this doctor was called again to see a member of tue same family. No sooner had the doctor en- tered the room than the cat appeared, took a seat beside the doctor and did not stir until the physician had left. Every day the doctor returned, and every day the cat sprung to greet him with every appearance of delight.

New Cure for Alcoholism.

Now that the KeeIey gold cure is on the way to join the Keeley motor, there is room for the new Russian remedy for alcoholism which Michael George witch Alayerdoff is introducing into England. His remedy is a secret herb found in certain parts of Russia. A deeper mystery enshrouds his recipe from the fact that it calls for 36 per cent. of spirits of wine and 64 per cent. of distilled water, in addition to the herb! The first thing that the patient must do is to get thoroughly drunk over night. Scotch whisky is recom- mended for this. When he wakes in the morning with dark-brown taste in his mouth he is given a small glass containing the panaeea, which is not noticed. After three days the patient can go his way, and will not wish to drink again, and even if he does-so says NJ. Alaverdoff, it will immediately make him "womit."

THE TRACING OF SUICIDE.
Believed That Unsuitable Diet Has an
 Injurious Effect.

Injurious Effect.
 Dr. Haig is of the opinion that sui- eide may be traced to error in diet, the error being the eating of meat, the drinking of beer and of tea and the smoking of tobacco. His facts all fall comfortably into their places in SUD- port of his hypothesis. Are there not more suicides among men than among women, and do not men consume more meat, more beer and more tobacco than the women? Again, suicide is more common in England than in Scotland, not apparently because the Scotch are a more canny race, but be- cause the English eat more meat and drink more beer, while the Scotch eat less meat and drink whisky instead or beer. After maintaining that suicide was less common among the Scotch, It was perhaps hardly polite, when ad- dressing a Scotch audience, to go on to say that suicide increased with eiTiliza- ton. But the fact was explained on the ground of more injurious diet, that of civilized man being more productive of uric acid and thus of suicide than that which prevails where civilization is less advanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at the bottom of all this, and, accord ing to Dr. Haig. the incidence of sui- eide tallfes with the daily, annual and life fluctuations of uric acid in the blood, being commonest when uric acid is most abundant, namely, in the morn tngs, in spring and summer and in childhood and the full prime of life.
 We have no doubt that errors of diet are responsible for much, and, among other things, for certain number of suicides; nay, we would go further and admit that unsuitable diet, derange- ment of the proper relation between nutrition and waste and the eonse- quent loading of the tissues and the blood with abnormal products of ne tabolism have much to do with that iIl-temper and discontent which lead men to lay their hands violently upon their neighbors and sometimes on themselves. All this may be taken for granted, but it is at present far from proved that the peccant material is in all cases tue same, and still further are we from being agreed that uric acid is the origin of the evil.

Powered sunerstition.

Students of architecture have often wondered why the two towers Of Notre Dame are not of equal size, though they appear so to the casual observer. A writer in one of the recent English magazines has found the explanation, which is rather curious. It appears that when the cathedral was built the cathedral of a suffragan bishop was not entitled to two towers of equal size, and for centuries the bishop of Paris was suffragan to the bishop of Sens.

Thunder and LiehtntRg.

Il is said that lightning may be rec ognized at a distance of 200 miles when the clouds among which 1t plays are at high altitude, but thunder can sell dom be heard at a greater distance than ten miles. The sound of thun- der is also subject to refraction by layers of different density in the atmos- phere, as well as to the effects of " sound shadows" produced by hills and other interposed objects. These are among the reasons for the existence of the so-eaIed sheet" or summer lightning, which seems to be unattend- ed by thunder.
