THE DIRGE OF KAIULANI.

Our Flag? That was pulled down.

to be allowed its possession. He neuer
answered. My own flag, the Royal

palm fronds and darkling trees.
Kaiulani! Thy brown nation, mourn
ing lowly on it's knees,
Means and walls in plaintive cad
ence, draining sorrow to the
lees,
And the burden of its sadness over
reef and ocean fees.
Send back om Flag!
Oh men of white ambition and of
power,
Who robbed our Daughter of her
queenly dover,
Relent in this, her dark, her silent
hour,
Give back our Flag!
Above her where she lies, a fragile
flower,
Stricken where ruthless hands de-
spoiled her bower,
While we crouch round, our tears a
binding shower,
Hang up our Flag!
Send back our Fagl
Ye mock us with white sympathy
and sigh,
With formal speech, strange flag
hung half-mast high,
No flag have we above her tomb to
fly,
Give back our Flagi
What boots it that our nimble fin
gers ply,
That leis of royal shade about her
lie,
That royal kahiH still meets the eye?
Give her her Flagi
Send back her Flag!
Ye broke her heart, oh men with
white mems greed,
Her royal heart, with grasping word
and deed,
All careless of a royal virgins need,
Give back her Flag!
IT'S such little thing for which we
plead,
Little to you, for have ye not de-
creed,
That all Hawaii's treasures are your
need?
Return her EIagt
Send back our Flag!
Ye won it not, ye wrenched it. We
were free
To worship our own chiefs OF high
degree
Ye trampled on them and their
royalty,
Give back her Flag!
Shall your white women hold it fast,
and She
Who sleeps among the moaning of
the sea,
Even in Deaths sad sleep despoiled
be?
Bring back her Flag!
Send back our Flag!
Ye came and preached your tale of
love to all,
OF Gods great tenderness whate'er
befall,
OF white mans answer to the brown
mans call,
And stole our Flagi

cepts fall,-

is for the patient to have enough pull

The period of treatment for children
In the first stage is from fifteen TO
thirty days, of adults In the same stage
from thirty to ninety days. The period
Ia the second stage is from sixty TO

adults in the last stage a much longer

Speaking of tuberculosis, DIR. Crotte
says that so per cent. of the people of
the United States are afflicted IN some
form. Seventy-fve per cent. of the
people of England are similarly affect
ed, and from 80 TO 40 per cent of the
people of all Europe. Poorly cooked
meat and milk are prolific sources OF
contaglon. Horses are the most dan
gerous of all animals as source of
contagion, and their flesh, the doctor
SAYS. should not be eaten at all.
