Remember this is not taken at Homo.
lulu or Hilo, but 1900 feet up in the
side of Mauna Kea, miles from Hilo
Hilo is about % miles from the top Of
this mountain, which is nearly $4,000
feet high, with perpetual snow. Now
let me give you some idea Of this part
of the island, which is all know any
thing about. This is not covered with
rocks, gulches and high cliffs, but
just the reverse. It is like Merino
sheep-wool to the toe.
There are no rocks to be seen, except
the bottom of the streams. There is
no sand or gravel in the soil. You
can chop an AK in it all day and not
dull it. When there is road from
Hilo to the sumit of Mount Mauna. Kea
there may be seen any climate, from
the tropical to that of perpetual snow.
Picture for yourself this land with q
new macadamized road, % miles long
beginning in the tropics and ending in
snow bank, with the products of
every climate scattered along the road.
Well such is the case or will be as
soon as there are more settlers; and
at the present rate of progress, will
not be long. There is talk of an
electric railway to the summit of
Mauna Kea, to get the timber off the
land along the route, and oil the other
trade he can get.
AS to health this is probably as
healthy a place as the world affords
No matter what ails one, in cases out

Well ! guess my letter is getting
rather long this time. Next time l
will tell something about the soil and
productions of these islands.
But before close I would like to
say to parties writing to me for in
formation to please pay their own
postage. Remember this is not the
United States vet, and it cost 5 cents
for every ! ounce or fraction: and ii
not paid there it is double here. A
letter sent from there with a 2 cent
stamp on cost me cents here, and If
overweight it cost me is cents. If they
expect an answer to put 10 cent
piece in the letter, as a nickel would
be overweight and cost me more to re-
ceive it than the nickel is worth.
United states stamps are not good.
With kind regards to all inquiring

A CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE.
Local Ministers Preparing fer New
Field Of Work.


A special COMMITTEES Of the Seattle Min
isteriai Association. consisting Of Revs.
Hugh Gtchrist. A. 8. Gregg and II. -.
Whitman. will meet at the Y. NJ. e.. A.
building today Ia complete arrangements
for a Christian institute to be held In See
attic September 4 TO II Inclusive. The mat
ter OF holding the institute was considered
by the association at a called meeting held
last Monday. After a very full discussion,
in which the benefits OF such gathering
were fully presented. the matter was re-
ferred To the committee named with power
TO act.
The Christian institute il primarily q
place for training Christian workers. Such
Institutes are common In the Eastern cst-
les, and In many places are held annually
with the most beneficial results. The gen.
erat plan of the Seattle institute embraces
several general departments. namely, per-
sonal work. held work. systematic Binle
study, deeper religious truth and missions.
Each department will he In charge OF .
specialist. who viii, give four lectures
dealing with different phases OF the topics
assigned TO him. Students w.il also ex-
change their experiences. Printed slips
with the departments specified thereon
will be- circulated In the churches Of tho
city. and those who desire to attend tho
institute will be asked to indicate the de-
partmests In which they desire to study.
These slips Will guide the committee In
arranging the schedule OF lectures. In
almost every respect the proposed training
school Will resemble q county school teach
eES IHStftute, Win the 0uefeuces OF
course, that the subjects treated viii deal
directly with the hest and most succces-
full methods for doing Christian work. II
will be the first assembly Of IT, kind ever
held In Seattle. and as such indicates q
comnendable progressiveness on the part
of the religious leaders OF the city. For
years the more discerning church workers,
both lay and clerical. have keenly felt
the need OF some means whereby the will.
ing workers could be better fitted for tha
various tasks which they are only too
glad to undertake. In the Eastern states
Mr.. Moody's summer institute at North
field enables hundreds OF church workers
to get together and spend few weeks
listening tn the instruction OF experts and
In exchanging experiences. This institute
Is becoming more popular each year, ard
has led to the establishment Of other train
ing schools In other Eastern centers. II
II the hope Of the projectors Of the Seattle
institute that the final outcome with be an
annual institute and school Of methods. In
which the Christian workers OF Western
Washington. and possibly the Pacific
Northwest. may meet and gather infor-
nation and inspiration.
The committee in charge VIII today de-
eide on the instructors for the different de-
partments and take steps to get the mat
ter before the Christian workers OF the
city. The sessions will be held in the First
Methodist Episcopal church.

HER UP TO DATE ALBUM.
The Chicago Girls Travels Recorded
by PhOtoErnphs of Herself.


The Chicago girl that knows her
business-and where is there one who
doesn't?-has an album or card case
devoted exclusively TO collection of
pictures of the one person whom she
thinks more of than anybody else in
the world-namely, herself. There are
several laws regulating the collection
of a personal gallery of this kind. In
the first place, no two pictures shall
be alike what is equally important, no
two shall be taken in the same town.
From n glimpse at this second condi-
ton. it IS obvious that the young wo-
man wlo has a popular collection of
her own photographs must be some
thing CT traveller.
In order to give added interest to
this pursuit of herself in miniature,
each photograph is stamped in violet
ink, with the name of the town where
taken, the name of the artist and the
date of the sitting. There are also
margins for recording any other Incl
dents connected with the occasion
that may be considered worthy of
note.
In this way the business of photo
graph collecting is kept on n system
attic. methOdical basis, and the book of
photographs becomes an abridged bio
graphical history of travels in an in
definite number of chapters. 1t is
evident that the more pictures it con-
tains the more comprehensive will be
the text. hence the ambition of every
young woman possessed with the craze
TO become n globe trotter
There are few standard towns that
are absolutely necessary to the reputa-
ton of any album, such as Chicago,
New York, Niagara and the prominent
intermediate points. Beyond these.
the more distant and romantic the
places the greater the interest attach
ed to these pictorial histories of the
world as seen through a maiden's eyes.

Maryland Superstitious.

There are SuperStitionS throughout
all the counties of Maryland concern
ing crossroads and running water.
Witches are supposed TO make their
home ut the crossing of two roads and
to appear there at midnight One pc
culiar thing about witches is that they
cannot get across running water. and
stream of any sort always acts as
a protection to the nightly prowler,
who will follow along the bank of 4
stream in preference to the road
These are some of the things which
are more generally believed in the
country around Washington and along
the eastern shore. Some of the arti-
cles of the creed of the superstitious
in that neighborhood are:
If you sweep your room ut night,
you sweep away your wealth.
Never shake crumbs out of a win
dow after dark. They are supposed
TO fall into the eyes of the Lord and
to disturb the spirits of the dead who
wander abroad at night.
Don't wash your hands in water in
which eggs have been boiled. You
are liable 10 become covered with
warts.-Baltimore Sun.

Quite softly. so should rat h.rt your rest,

Yet call sadly, for ny heart is sad

Just murmurings, nos the sad t!ings that say.
