FAMOUS PEOPLES EYES.

The duke of Wellington had, it is said, blue hawks eyes gleaming with military genius.
 Audubon, as became a naturalist, had ''hawklike eyes that flashed like a searchlight and were ever on the alert for each movement of animated na- ture."
 Charles Lamb is described as having glittering eyes, strangely dissimilar in color, one being hazel, the other having specks of gray in the iris. as you see red spots in the bloodstone.
 According to Trelawney no man had brighter eyes than Byron; they were gray and fringed with long black Iashes Lady Blessington, writing of him a few months before his departure to Greece, adds that one eye was visibly larger than the other.
 The most striking feature of Burns was his large dark eye. It was, we are told by one writer, full of mind and literally glowed when he spoke with emotion or interest" Sir w. Scott, who knew the poet when he lived in Edinburgh, says: "T never saw such an- other eye in human head, and have seen the most distinguished men of my time"
 Eyes, as we know, are apt to vary considerably in shades of color in the same individual from time to time-a fact that explains why Wordsworth's familiar description of Coleridge as a noticeable man with large gray eyes does not quite agree with Carlyle's inn pression that his eyes were of light hazel, nor this again with the writer who found them light gray, prominent and of liquid brilliiancy, as though the orb itself retreated to the innermost recesses of the brain"
 Chatterton's brilliant gray eyes were his most remarkable feature. Under strong excitement one appeared bright CT, and. as in the case of Byron, larger than the other. Calcott says: "It was like the eye of a hawk, and one could see | his soul through it." Barrett never saw such eyes, fire rolling at the bot tom of them and he confesses that he ! often purposely differed in opinion from i Chatterton to see how wonderfully his ! eye would strike fire, llindle and blaze uD

CT, Is most primitive and the won der is how such an immense popu- lation can be supported from tic soil, until the great economy prac- t!ced in all things is understood On the Great Plain of China, every available foot of land is utilized fnr growing something and every particle of fertility returned to the soil, Waters are used for irriga- ton and in many cases labori0usIy distributed over the fields.
 The Great Plain itself is one of the most wonderful sections of the globe. It IS about 700 miles long. anu varies from 200 to 400 miles wide, occupying the northeastern part of the empire, and containing over two hundred thousand square miles of wonderfully fertile soil The most interesting feature of the plain is it's enormous population as It supports, according to the census of 1872 not less than 777i million human beings, making the most densely settled part of the world, of it's size, it's inhabitants amounting to nearly two thirds of the entire population of Europe.

EFFORT.

Iris not enough to tune the Tyre And wait for harTnonies to come God sendeth not celestrial fire When human hearts are cold and numb. Iris not enough to calmly wait That quickening dew should on us fan. To vaguely long for what is great While still pursuing what is small Iris not enough with tears of woe To weep for all the worlds distress. The drops that from inaction flow Nor us, nor other lives. will bless Iris not enough the love to take That other hearts on ours outpour: The soul is only kept awake By giving something from it's store. Iris not enough with dropping wing And aimless feet to walk this earth: Effort alone can blessing bring And crown the soul with sov'reign
 worth.

KENALOA HOPELESS CASE.
DIsCOURAGING REPORT OF THE
HEALTH AGENT.
Land Saturated with Water and Filth
Cannot be Filled in-Kapiolani Home
Girls to be Moved.

The Board of Health is again wrest-
ling with the Kewalo problem. Some
times the health authorities are at
their wits end to know just what to do
with the place. 1t is very low, and the
ground is saturated with water and
filth. So low, in fact, is the district that
to lay the sewer pipes at a proper ele-
walton they would have to go on tres
tie work. All efforts at draining have
sgnally failed
DR.. Garvin yesterday reported the
above facts to the Board of Health and
went on to say that conditions were
getting worse and worse every year.
After more discussion the matter was
referred to Attorney General Dole for
investigation and report on what should
be done.
1t was decided to get new home for
the girls now detained at Kalihi in the
Kapiolani Home for Leprous Children.
The present home is not healthy and is
moreover too close to receiving station
for lepers. The girls from the home
will be moved to the hospital at the de-
tention camp and cared for there until
a permanent home elsewhere can be
found or built.
Prof. Shorey reported on the amount
of morphine found in the stomach of
the last PalOlo valley victim, giving it
as a tenth of a grain. The amount alb
sorbed by the system could not be told.
The question of requiring school
teachers to have health certificates was
discussed and referred to Secretary
Wilcox.
1t was decided to spend $1,000, provid-
ing the money was on hand, for a new
woman's ward at Wailuku hospital.
Two houses on Merchant street next
to Lever & Cookies lumber yard were
condemned as being unsanitary. The
worst trouble with them is that they are
below the street level and water stands
in the yards.
DR.. John II. Waughop resigned from
the office of Government physician at
Koloa, Kauai, and DR.. E. S. Goodhue
was appointed in his stead DR.. Waug-
hops son, DR.. Phillip r. Waughop,
was appointed physician for Kealia,
Kilauea and Hanalei, Kauai.
Wray Taylor asked permission to
send some one to the settlement on
MololIai to register the patients there
for the general election in November
1t was the opinion of the Board that
persons already at the settlement
should be appointed to do that work.
Plague bills were read. 1t was decid-
ed to pay eighty per cent leaving the
remaining twenty per cent over until
an appropriation has been secured from
the Legislature.

SOLDIERS IN CUBA.
Five Thousand Men Kept There fol. "a
Time.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Gen. Wood,
governor general of Cuba, had a con-
ference yesterday with Secretary Root,
with the result that it was determined
to keep a force of about 5000 men in
Cuba for several months yet. This deci-
sion will permit of the withdrawal from
the island of another regiment in addi-
ton to those previously ordered home.
The LIST regiment of infantry, posted in
Pinar del Rio and Guanajay, has been
selected as the fourth regiment to come
home, and orders to that end were tel
graphed to Cuba by Gen. Wood. 1t al
so was decided that the constitutional
convention should be convened in the
fall, the date being left TO Gen. Wood.
Gen. Wood says that peace and quiet
prevail in Cuba, and that troops are
kept there simply for their moral in
fiuence, and as an indication to the peo-
pie that lawlessness will not be tole-
rated.
1t was stated on good authority at the
war department last evening that the
date for holding the Cuban election for
delegates to the constitutional conven-
ton has been fixed Approximately for
November Is. The constitutional con-
vention, it is believed by the war de-
partment authorities, can be held with
in three months after that date.

MET WITH AN ACCIDENT
Kenosha Yacht Disabled Between sheboy
gan and Port Washington Yesterday


gan and Port Washington Yesterday.
A letter was received in this city this
morning from Captain Louis Ferry of
the yacht Mandolin" of this port,
stating that they had met with bad
accident between Sheboygan and Port
Washington yesterday, and that the
yacht would be turned toward home as
soon as the wind would permit the
trip. Captain Ferry did not make any
report of the accident and it is not
known whether the boat or some one
of the crew was injured.
The boys on the Mandolin, five in
number, left Kenosha several days ago
to make a trip about the lakes. On
board were Louis Ferry, Ole O1eson,
Alex Oleson, Henry Williams and Will
Jones. The letter has caused consider
able apprehension among the friends
of the boys, as it is feared that some
of them have been injured.
The Mandolin is a seaworthy boat
and the boys should be perfectly safe
on board.

TAKE DECIDED STEP,
Business Mems Association Notify the
Foundry Company That the Site
Will Be Given.
ONLY $500 HAS BEEN RAISED.
But other Money Is hought to Be in
sight-.The Land Can Probably Be Pur-
chased for Thousand Dollars

The kenosha Business Mems assoc
citation held an informal meeting at
the parlors of the Grant house last
evening for the purpose of taking some
action in regard to the location of the
new foundry and skein plant IN this
city. There was a good number of the
business men in attendance. The asso-
citation decided to take the bull by the
horns and authorized the president and
secretary of the association to write to
the managers of the new factory and
assure them the site as soon as they
desired to begin building their build
ings. The site will be given without
any reservation.
The committee which has been rails
ing the funds for the venture have not
made any great progress and they
reported last evening that they had
managed to secure but $500 of the 5000
needed for the purchase of the site IN
question. It seems that the committee
has great many things to confront IN
collecting the money. It is stated that
a number of business men who are op-
posed to the location of the factory on
bonus haue used their influence tC
keep other people from giving to the
scheme. This seems to be pretty
broad assertion, but it is made by peo-
pie we'll acquainted with the work OF
/ the committee and must be taken as
the truth.
1t is to be hoped that the work of the
committee will not longer be hindered
by this class of men and that if they
are not willing to contribute to the
fund they will not attempt to pour cold
water on the enthusiasm of others. II
is stated on good authority that the
Avery property can be purchased by
the association for the sum of $1,000
and this being the fact the committee
will need to raise but 5000 more.
The meeting last evening took nc
action in regard to the proposition re-
Gently made by the Arnold Engine
company to erect a plant in Kenosha,
but they will consider this question at
the next meeting of the association.
Mr.. Prentice, who is interested in the
new skein factory stated this morning
that the company is ready to begin
on the buildings at once and that there
is no doubt but that the proposition
of the Business Mems Association
would be accepted.
