Only a Mask.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
ife, they are little if any stronger than
they We're. The tan on their faces is
darker and makes. them look healthier,
but it is only mask. They are still
nervous, easily tired, upset by trifes,
and they do not eat nor sleep well.
What they need is what tones the
nerves, perfects. digestion, creates appe-
tite, and makes sleep refreshing, and
that is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils and
teachers generally will fin l the chief
puspose of the vacation best subserved
by this great medicine which. as we
know, 'builds up the whole system.

seen better soldiers than those who
followed Lee, and their leader will
undoubtedly rank as without ex-

great captains that the English

OF Marlborough and Wellington. =

REBORN IN HONOLULU.
japanese slave Trade Abolished by the
New Regime.


Honolulu seems to be headed for re
form. One OF the first steps toward
cleaning UP the city was the closing OF
the Iwelei stockade, which was built
under the old regime Here the dis
orderly women of the city. most of
them slaves of japanese masters, were
compelled to live The stcckade came
to be looked upon as one of the sights
Of Honolulu, to be visited by tourists.
The city had been divided from the
first on the wisdom of the plan, and
though it was successful enough in
keeping vice out of the streets of the
city its other features gradually earned
its condemnation. 1t was a legaliza
ton not only Of vice. but also of the
practical slave trade in which the Jap
anese were engaged
When the new territorial govern
ment came into power the question was
seriously considered and il was decided
to abolish the system. the law under
which it had been established being de-
clared in conflict with the act organ
izing the territory.
The high fence or stockade was torn
down. Attempts by the Japanese to
continue their trade in young girls or
to reopen their dens in other parts
Of the city are being resisted vigor
ously.

Players Christmas.

No class of people contribute so
largely to making Christmas merry
day for the public than the actors and
actresses. Yet few of them may be
said to have a merry Christmas. for
not only are they compelled to do
their regular stint upon the stage. but
at most theaters extra matinee per-
formances are given. thus compelling
the players to do double duty. Yet
with all their hard labor few people
enjoy their day better than the actor
folk. Sometimes. however, the stage
door opens to admit breath OF holi-
day-making and the older theaters of

AN BAN PRESCRIPTION.
Haphazard Use OF Plants in Treatment
of All Diseases,

Medicine is supposed by the follow
ers of Islam to possess some super
natural power, and this popular notion
enables many Arabian physicians to
acquire a great reputation for wisdom
at very small cost. A physician Of
this type is not well educated He
knows how to r.. al and write his own
tongue and he is acquainted with the
properties OF a number of plants.
which he uses at haphaZard in the
treatment of all diseases. but beyond
this he knows nothing. In his opinion
the most effective prescriptions con-
sists of verses which are selected from
the Koran and written on cOlOred bits
OF paper These bits of paper are
then to be swallowed by the sick per-
sons. who are assured that they will
speedily become convalescent.
Sometimes the prescription is placed
in water until il is at the point of
boiling, and then it must be drunk by
the unfortunate patient. No matter
how absurd they may seem, the pa
tents Faithfully follow the prescrip-
tions, and never hesitate to pay high
price for them. Nay, at the bidding of
their physicians they even perform the
most foolish antics. and if they are
not dead by that time they are next
obliged To swallow doses composed of
plants, roots and metals. In case of
fever more extraordinary method is
employed. The physician writes on
an egg certain verses from the Koran
and then bids the patient hatch the
egg, informing him that if a chicken
comes ont ne will certainly be cured.
Patients suffering from other maladies
usually make a mixture of mercury
and leTrOcyanrue o. potassium, which
they place over fire so that they
may inh9lc The vapOur. Among other
substances used in prescriptions are
fat. Goldfish oil. garlic. aniseed. pepper,
salt, angelica, asafoetida, orange water
and vinegar. The druggist does not
prepare prescriptions, but delivers tie
ingredients. the quantity of each being
solely designated by its monetary
value. and the patient himself is ex-
pected to mix them.
