The First L, cal Mint.

One of the institutions here
which has the sp-cial attention Of
tourists as we'll asthe local people
is the Miut, which is established on
Nuuanu street, opposite Qieen
Emma Hall. lt0,is interesting to
enter the large main working room,
where general manager McDonough
and his corps of assistanta are at
work. The cool and larg. lanai is a
proper resting place aud the vaults,
where the "bars" to be, minted ind
beer are kept preseot very tasty
spectacle. The Mint is open from
$50 =. TN. to l;S0 p m and during
those hours the work never ceases.
Visitors after looking over the place

by the spirit of progress which marks
the new century.
Down town and up town, he still
trudges along carrying on his back OF
trundling on its fiywheel the same old
arrangement of assorted sizes of
grindstones, stopping occasionally
when he finds a housewife whose scis-
sors or knives are In need of having
their edges renewed.
In only one feature is he at all diff
ferent from what he has been for
many years, and that is in the substi-
tuition of a bugle for the bell he used
to ring. Whether this is an improve
ment or not depends entirely upon the
individual view point, Certain 1t is
that, while in former times lie changed
the bell noisily and with disconraging
persistency, it emitted but the one
note caused by the impact Of the
tongue upon the metal, and there was
no chance of his modifying 1t. With
the bugle, however, 1t is different, as
the sounds he forces its brass throat
to emit may occasionally be musical,
but are far more often calculated to
make the hearer rise up in wrath and
smite him.
Be that as 1t may, however. he still
manages TO sharpen his quota of cut
ting utensils and until the new century

make it possible to dispense with his

When a cheerful. brave and lighthearted woman is sud-
denly plunged into that perfection Of misery, the blues, it is
a sad picture.
1t is usually this way:
She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, expert.
encing severe headache and backache; sleeps very poorly
and is exceedingly nervous.
Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizzi-
ness, and palpitation OF the heart; then that bearing-down
feeling is ~dreadfully wearing.
Her husband says, "Now, don't get the blues You will
be all right after you have taken the doctors medicine"
But she does not get all right. She grows worse day by
day, until oil at once she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She loses faith hope vanishes; then comes the morbid,
melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told
just what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some
information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to
accurately locate her particular illness.
Mrs. Pnkham has relieved thousands of women from
just this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful
letters in her library as proof Of the great assistance she has
rendered them. This same assistance awaits every sick
woman in the land.
