Some pretty wild stories get into the
Coast papers about the Islands. The
telegram from Portland to San Fran
cisco stating that 200 people had been
killed in Honolulu by an earthquake is
one of the widest that has got cur
rency Exactly what particular brand
of whiskey they use in Portland is not
stated, but it must be pretty powerful
and very fiery in quality.

The Hawaiian Village company has
reached Omaha and is welcomed for its
hula dancing and guitar playing. 1t is
not calculated to give a very exalted
view of the Hawaiian when at home,
but no doubt it will be highly popular
among certain class of people. 1t is
a thousand pities that the show ever
went, but it is one of the inevitables of

VALUE OF SELF EDUCATION.
More Lasting Than Academic Train
ing Because II Takes More Effort.

More Lasting Than Academic Train
ing Because 1t Takes More Effort.
Edward Box answers girl correspond
ent who inquiries "How can ono learn
other than at college and still realize the
highest living?" in The Ladies' Home
journal. 1.-THE inestimable value Of mcn-
tai training" he says, sis undeniable for
girl or boy, man or woman, but mental
training ia not alone to be had at the col
lege or university. It can be had more
Systematically there, perhaps, but not more
effectively than anywhere else If the desire
to learn and study is present in the heart.
There is mistaken idea present with
many that we go to college to get certain
amount Of information or number of
facts in our heads. Tho legitimate use Of
all colleges is mental discipline-in othcc
words, the training of our faculties SO that
they will be Of use to us as tools. The
school, the college or. tho university is SIM
ply the beginning Of our learning. 1t
gives lis not learning, but trains us how
to learn in after years; for the life of
woman, like that Of man, begins after
college has been loft behind.
"Now, mental discipline may he just as
easily acquired at home as ut college, pro-
vidcd q girl so Wills What developed the
hundreds of thousands Of women who new
er went to college and yet who are today
women Of the very finest mindsS Not one
in 5000 girls in this country can or will
ever go to college. That is possible only
for the smallest minority, yet the majority
will not fail of the highest living because
tho opportunity Of an academic training
was withheld from them. Self develop
ment is far more lasting than mental
training, because it calls for greater effort,
and efforts we'll directed are of themselves
the greatest means of development we
have. What we And out ourselves We re-
member better and longer than what, Is
taught or told US"

LCxQlly Dead,

In Mexico, when man is condemned to
death, he is executed by being shot by "a file
of soldiers, and the body is left where it

Not long ago worthless fellow was
thus executed and left in the open country

the soldiers had left the man got up, walk

One of the don ts' with which 1t would
be well to impress society at large is,
"Don't tell person that she is not look
ing we'll"
The sentence, "My dear, you arc look
ing very badly today" will cast a damper
over tho most hilarious spirit. We may
as well be frank and acknowledge that in
90 cases out of 100 to look i'll is to look
plain. The lusterless eyes, tho sallow
cheeks and the pallid lips are not compati-
blowith beauty and vivacity of expression.
Each of us has her little spark Of vanity
that makes her writhe at the knowledge
that she is not at her best in appearance
as in feeling. And if one has tried to con-
ceal from others the fact that she is not
quite up to the usual mark Of health she
feels that her efforts are vain. And, worst
of all, If ono is bravcly fighting with a
genuine illness the consciousness that the
disease has made such inroads that the
casual observer notices the change in ones
appearance awakcns sensation of fear
and depression that Is detrimental to
health. -Harper's Bazaar.

Santiago de Cuba, April 2S.-LThe Gu

mittee of the former military assembly,
and who has been appointed public
prosecutor for the supreme court of
the province of Santiago de Cuba, II

given to the press he characterized

Portuendo expresses himself conf

a government of her own. He says
the reason why the Cuban muster rolls
were withheld so long from General

To Fight Porto Rico,s Tariff.

Washington, April 2S.-Information
has been received at the war DEPART
ment that the present customs laws
of Porto Rico are to be tested In the
courts. 1t is intended to ship cargo
of goods from New York to Porto Rico
and refuse the payment of the tar
ifs established by the government.
If payment is insisted upon 1t will be
made under protest. and suit will be
brought to recover the amount. The
claim will be set up that as Porto
Rico is now portion of the United
States it is unconstitutional to charge
customs dues for goods sent from one
portion of the country to another. The
right to make such charge is based
upon the fact that Porto Rico is under
a military government, and therefore
regulations by the military apply,
rather than the civil laws of the Uni
ted States.

THE MAKING OF GOLD saicka


An Established Industry With which
the Law Does Net Interfere.
Ths making Of the gold bricks with
come ons" and oven smart merchants
and bankers has become an established In
dustry. It IL not crime to mako gold
brick. The crime only comes In when the
spurious article Is sold. The value Of the
standard "brick" would be about $3.50 II
composed Of pure gold. The cost to the
purchaser when the article Is prepared for
the market varies from 80 to $76 brick,
according to the value Of the material
used. The purchaser from the factory
makes his terms with his victims.
"You want to know Of the very best
brick we turn outs" said a maker. swell,
the brick most likely to deceive Is made
from q copper and zinc mixture. It Is not
the most expensive, but 1t will stand
knocking around for five years without
losing tint or tone, and, tell you, it's
pretty near the real thing. Half dollars
worth Of gold Is more than enough to do
tho Job. Our science Ii known as water
gliding because the last touch we give tho
brick Is to chill it in iced water. We buy
our gold in leaves from the beaten. These
leaves we place in a crucible with mer-
curry, seven parts Of mercury to one OF
gold. The mercury is first heated, and
under the action of furnace the mixture
Is made redhot. Then 1t Is allowed 10
cool down. We squeeze the arnalgam

Of ejecting the superfiuous mercury. and

lowish mass Of the consistence of butter,
and with this the metal Is coated with a
brush. This Ia the first step in turning
the brick into gold.
"After receiving the first coat the brick
Ia subjected to strong heat for the pur-
pose Of evaporating the remaining mer-
curry. 1t Is then in fine form, but far
from perfect. There will be little irregu-
larities, and these are removed with deli
cate brass brush. After the brushing .
lack OF true golden tone is apparent, but
we have an easy remedy for this. We coat
the brick over with gliding wax, which is
preparation of red ocher, verdigris, alum
and borax. Then the brick is again ex-
posed to the action of fire till tho wax 10
entirely burned away. It's real gold then,
but We ore bound to make 1t a few oarats

BILE ground for questioning the quality Of
their treasure. We do this by covering it

, DRAWING THE COLOR LIMB r
In the International Sunday School
Con ventl0n at Atlanta.

Convention at Atlanta.
Atlantis, Ca, April 2s.-The proceed
ings of the ninth triennial internation-
al Sunday school convention yesterday
were enlivened by q heated discussion
over the placing Of negroes on one Of
the commitsees. The matter was ami
cably adjusted after considerable talk.
Hon. Hoke Smith, Of Atlanta, was
elected president of the convention,
and presided at last nights session.
The naming of the nominating COM
mittee precipitated the race trouble.
Delegate Neil, of Washington, D. c..
who had caused considerable comment
among the white people present by
leaving that portion Of the house set
apart and placarded for the negro
delegates and sitting with the white
people of his delegation, was intro
duced by white delegate.
II am representing the District OF
Columbia" said Delegate Neil, land
when I left home thought I would
sit with my delegation, but now we
are separated. l want to know how
we will have any representation and
how we will be heard. The negro is
making rapid Roadway in Christian
work, and I appeal to this convention
not to discourage us, for we may lose
years before we will get to the place
we now occupy"
The excitement was now at fever
heat, and many delegates were on their
feet in an effort to secure recognition.
Second Vice President Green, Of At
lanta, finally secured the floor. He
said: "The negroes have represents
tives from this state on other COM
mittees, and that is the reason tho
colored man Is not one of the nomi-
mating committee. We live here
among these people. We respect them.
We treat them right. We treat them
as nicely as We do our own color. But
we do draw the line when it comes to
sitting together in the same pew"

An English nobleman whose entertain

himself a man of much dry humor.
One evening he was leaning against a
wall for few moments refreshment and

at his wife's bidding with Il speculative
gaze, when voluble young man stepped
up to him.

whimsical smile. "I'm obliged to stay"
Something in his tone enlightened the
young man, who turned crimson and be-
gan to stanmer apologies. But his host
waived all such attempts and held cut his

B. McNair, receiving teller of the Will
mington Saving Fund society, has con-
fessed to shortage of $4,000 in his

ment in real estate valued at $4,000
in favor of the society, IT was decided
not to prosecute him. The proceeds
from the sale of the real estate will
more than cover the amount of tho
shortage. McNair is 81 years old, and

CURED BY FIRE.
Treatment That Saved q Maine Man
VrOn Death by L0clkjaw.

Treatment VAat SeVeo = AoAn0 nos
TrsA Death ~ Lsckjaw.
The Lewiston (Me.) journal has an in
teresting story Of how one man was cured
Of lookjaw in the olden days, before the
modern and more successful treatment OF
antitoxins had become known 70 the
physician, Isaac Rich had cut of the end
Of an index finger, and, after the wound
had been dressed and he thought he was
on the road to recovery, lockjaw develop
cd. Or. John Lincoln, the family physi-
clan, who had treated him, broke the news
to Rich and told him of his imminent
danger Of dying.
Ike" he said, "you've got to die, and
hanged If amt sorry for you, J" and he
turned away quickly, for he was very fond
Of Rich, and-Yell, it isn't pleasant work
to pronounce the death sentence on your
friends, no matter how long you have prac-
ticed medicine.
"But, Ike" he went on, "there's one
thing moro that I've heard of. l don't
know as it will do any good, but, by gum,
Ike, Pm going to try 1t II these other gen.
tlemen are willing. Ihave read that they
have recently been using turpentine for
certain treatments over in England, and
II Is said that has worked well. don't
know as it will do any good, but 1t can't
do any harm, for you have got to die any
way"
The doctors ugreed that the experiment
would not endangcr the patients chances,
since he must die in any case, and they
expressed willingness to assist their col
league in the undertaking.

a stream Of spirits Of turpentine down the
channel which the ribs make where they
join the spine and then touched lighted
match to tho spirits. The blaze sped down
the spinal column almost like train of
gunpowder. DR.. Lincoln was keeping an
anxious hand on tho muscles beneath the
arms. As the flames died out the muscles
showed no signs Of relaxation.
A second time they sent the fire down
the channel. This time the flesh was
showing raw, but still there was no move,
ment in the rigid nausclea
"We'll try 1t once more" said the doc
tor, land then II there Ia no change We
must acknowledge that We arc beaten"
GrimIy they lighted turpentine for the
third time and watched it burn its way
down the raw and bleeding flesh Of the
patient.
This time the long tense muscles gave
way, and DIR. Lincoln dropped the arm he
was holding md shouted:
ike, by gum, you are going to liver
and then he added, III turpentines good
enough to burn along a mans spine it's
good enough to dress the wounds with"
From this time ON Mr.. Rich continued
to gain steadily, and within few weeks
was az we'll as ever. In dressing the
wounds along his spine nothing was used
but the raw spirits of turf rtine. When
no recovered his powers Vi speech, Mr..
Rich was asked about his sensations dur
ing the fiery ordeal through which he
passed. Tho first time, he said, he felt
absolutely nothing. The second time it
seemed as though some one had lightly
drawn feather down his back, but the
third time he experienced all the agonies
Of fire applied to raw flesh.
