1t is cheering to know that we are
better than some of our new men and
brethren. 1t appears from a report
made by correspondent Of the Ameri-
can Board that there are not only many
drunkards in Hawaii, but there are also
heather there. Besides the lingering
remnants of Hawaiian heathenism is
that which is imported from China and
Japan. On a recent trip to the island
of Hawaii the correspondent saw on
the side OF a road a building, in front
Of which were some peculiarly shaped
banners attached to tall poles. A path
way leading up to the building had
been cut through the steep bank by the
roadside, and the banks on either side
of this pathway were stuck full of short
pieces of bamboo, attached to which
were strips of paper covered with Jap
anese characters. The building was a
'Shinto shrine and the strips of paper
on the sides of the pathway were pray
ers Here was real heathenism from
Japan. 1t is also no uncommon sight
to see a hack loaded with Cinnamon,
and having with them a nicely roasted
pig, on the way to the cemetery to pay
their homage to their dead ancestors.
There are drunkards enough in this
country, but no heather. Let us thank
the good Lord for that and for the OPP
portunity given us to turn the Ha-
waiian heather from the error OF their
ways.

start
A new life every year.
Out of their sunken selves they rise,
Erect and sweet and clear;
Behold the ..ly's pure, white leaves
Unfolding by each mere.
Again the sap mounts in the fir
Thro' every swelling vein; f,
Again the clover stirs and thrills,
Responsive to the rain;
Again the tender grass makes green
The lone breast of the plain.
Hear the new, the golden flood of song
The lark pours--to the blue!
Behold the strong undaunted shoot
Pushing its brave front through
The fallen tree. Lord God, Lore
God,
Let me begin anew!
Out of my own self let me rise!
For Goa, If 1T can be
A new and noble growth may spring
From yon decaying tree
Surely a strong, pure life may mount
Out of this life of me.

which have been derived from the prac-

the utilization of the vast power of

the exhaustion of the conveniently To-

! In public health reports issued by the
marine hospital service the origin of
the present epidemic Of grip is traced
TO Asia. The grip this year, as in 1889
80, started in the East. 1t was reported
In Turkey about the middle of last No
vember. Since that time it has spread
westward, along the established lines of
travel. In this respect it follows the
well known habit Of all the plaques that
come upon the Occident from the Orient
since the dawn OF history. The conta-
gious disease starts in the dim and
dirty East, travels westward and new
err halts in it's deadly journey until it
has circled the globe.

PARIS PRESS ON LABOR|
VIEWS or VARIOUS JOURNALS on
THE OUTRAGE
Deplore the State Of Disorder Into
Which the Country has Been Brought
by the Dreyfus Case

PARIS, August 14.-The Paris papers,
without distinction, express indigna-
ton at the outrage of which M. Labori
is the victim. The Temps deplores the
state of disorder into which the Drey-
fus affair has dragged the country"
and says: ut is high time for us to
stand up and be ourselves again."
Continuing it's review of the situation,
the Temps observes: IN. CasimirP Per-
Ter testified to his wishes for reconcile
alton, and we now see how far from 1t
we are. Perhaps this pistol shot marks
the elimination of the crisis and will
restore us to the path of good sense"
The Liberte, which holds the Govern
ment responsible, as the apostle of an
archy that has existed for the last two
years and that has sown broadcast the
seeds of civil war" says: THE outrage
is only an incident in the era of catas-
tropics toward which the country Is
rushing"
The Journal des Debats says: 1.-THE
revolver shot is bound to be the end
and one fine morning it will be closely
followed by the horrors of civil war, If
violence, hate contempt for justice and
law, and all the fanatical, anarchistic
and homicidal persons continue to poi
son the air we breathe"
The Libre Parole, which attacks the
government, says IOudy we nave Oll-
ly assassins. Tomorrow it will be civil
war"
The Figaro says: "In all the long Sc
ries of crimes on the pages of our his
tory this is the first time when assassi-
nation has struck down an advocate,
and that too, at the very hour when
helping to plead in defense of his client
to establish and to confound accusers."
The Moniteur Universal attributes the
affair to the excitement caused by the
Governments efforts to save Dreyfus,
and to 1.-The arbitrary acts that have
been committed in the absence of the
Chamber of Deputies"

An international FavorIte.

The New York Tribune says: Apenta, n
Hungarian aperient water, bottled at the
springs, Budapest, is a purgative water,
but of q mild and non-irritating character,
due to the presence of large quantity
of eulphate of magnesia, considera bly, ex-
ceeding the sulphate of soda. Prof. AL
thaus, of London, author of 1.-THE Spas Of
Europe" says mat this is an excellent
combination, rendering the water superior
to the other apeIient waters which contain
zoo large proportion of sulphate of soda
Analyses made at different times by Profs.
Lleberman, of Budapest; Tichborne of
Dublin, and Pouchet of Paris, point to
the constancy of the constituents OF
Apenta, confirmed by a certificate of Prof.
Won Fodor.
Profs. Althaus, Bogoslowsky, Lance
reauX and Liebreich lay great stress on
the medical supervision at the Apenta
Springs, and the constancy of Inc water.
The name of the Apollinaris Company,
which appears on the Apenta labels. Is in
itself guarantee of quality, but with the
additional Endorsements of the scientific
and medical men quoted here 1t is easy to
understand why Apenta ranks so high as
laxative and purgative, and is used In
all the principal hospitals of Europe and
the United States.
