How Things Grow In Hawaii.

How great are the possibilities of
Hawaii as fruit and vegetable grow
ing country will be understood when
it becomes known that four crops Of
potatoes have been produced in sue
cesslOn on the same piece of land with
in twelve months. Radishes become
edible in ten days after sowing. Straw
berry vines bear fruit all the year. The
berries are of the finest flavor.
Cabbage grows all the year, and it
apparently makes no difference wheth-
er il is planted in the spring, summer
autumn or winter. Parsley once sown
grows forever apparently. Lima beans
continue TO grow and bear for over n
year, and they have to be gathered
every week after starting to bear. Gu
cumbers bear the entire year, and so
do tomatoes, which, with proper at
tentiOn, bear for years. Raspberries
bear for six months.
Pineapples come into bearing when
the plants are four months old and bear
in abundance for years. Lettuce can
be planted at any time. and it develops
quickly. The same is true of celery

Remarkable Memories.

There was a Corsican boy who could
reheafse 10000 words, whether sense
or nonsense, as they were dictated and
then repeat them in the reversed order
without making a single mistake. A
physician about sixty years ago could
repeat the whole of Paradise Lost
without making a single mistake. al
though he had not read it for twenty
years Euler, the great mathematician.
when he became blind could repeat the
whole OF Virgirs 'Eneid" and could

Lob.ters. Eggs.


A fair sized female lobster carries
10000 eggs at a time. The eggs, when
extruded. are covered with a viscid
matter which. drawn out into threads.
attaches them to the long hairs that
fringe the fanlike tail of the mother
These threads quickly become hard
and strong, the eggs waving about in
the water and being thus aerated.
When they are ready to be Matched, the
mother lobster Oscillates her tail so as
to assist the offspring TO escape.
The young at first resemble shrimps,
being about one-third OF an inch in
length. They have bright blue eyes.
After few days they desert the moth
er and swim out into deep water
where they rise TO the surface and lead
a vagabond sort of existence for thirty
or forty days.
During this time the young ones
change their shells four times. On the
fourth occasion they shed their swim
ming organs and fall to the bottom,
where they remain for the rest of their
lives. During their existence as swim
mers most of them are gobbled up by
fishes, for which they afford favorite
food

SAFE AND SURE.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
unrivaled as a safe and sure medicine
for the cure of woman1y diseases. 1t
establishes regularity, dries unhealthy
drains, heals Inflammation and ulcera-
ton and cures female weakness. It is
the best preparative for motherhood,
giving vigor to the body and buoyancy
to the mind. 1t so strengthens the
organs of maternity that it makes the
baby's advent practically painless. AS
tonic for nursing mothers it has no
equal: 1t increases the nutritive secre-
tons and strengthens and nourishes
both child and mother.

WONDERFUL BOOK.

mass of medical and hygienic informa-

abundance of them in the east. Every
little while the banks out there set up
a boot and cry for pennies, but our
banks here are ever glad to rid them
selves of their surplusage in these
coins. 1t is difficult to see why such a
state of things should be. I'm sure a
penny is just as dear to the eastern

Bank clerks are so often called upon
for directions that they sometimes fall
into the habit of giving them in a hur-
ried and mechanical manner, conse-
quently they are frequently misunder-
stood" remarked the clerk of a saw
ings institution to a reporter the other
day. For instance. the usual formula
when stranger is called upon to sign
his name is, Sign here; pen and ink at

a stranger entered our bank and asked
me for certificate of deposit for a con-
siderable sum of money which he hand
ed over. counted the money and found

the same man, whose face 1 had for

sa1utInr WIth the Had.

Before the invention of wigs the hat
was rarely removed except to salute
others, especially royal personages. 1t
was worn at table when ladies or per-
sons of rank were present. Except
when saluting royalty it was the Gus
tom merely to raise the hand TO the hat
somewhat after the manner of mill
tary salute. When it became the mode
to wear profusion of false hair, the
hat was less needed as protection for
the head and was carried under the

De.tbbed FInttery.

Almost every dying person is liable
to be allured by the solemn attitude of
the company and the restrained or
flowing torrents Of tears and emotions
to an alternating conscious and uncon-
scious comedy of conceitedness. The
seriousness with which every dying
person is treated has undoubtedly been
the very finest enjoyment of his life TO
many a poor despised devil and a sort
of naturalization and partial payment
for much privation.-Works of Metz

family. She must not be craven when
the whoop of the Indian warned of a
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun in hand.
How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi-
tons? Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour-
age, but because she lacks as a rule the
physical health which is the indispensa-
bic qualification for life such as was
lived by the women of the past.
That is why a good woman may be a
bad wife. Virtue and goodness are ex-
Cellent things in women, but to guide a
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.
WOMEN coNvIcTs.
To a great number of women the
house they live in is almost on a par
with a prison. 1t is prison-like in the
nonotonous regularity of daily duties
prison-like in the absence of all pleasure
in what is done or Joy in the doing.
And the reason is to be found in
womanly ill-health. Few women realize
how intimately the general health is re-
lated to the health of the delicate
womanly organs. A woman may suffer
with heart Vtrouble,D disorders of kid
neys, liver or stomach, or with nervous
Drostration as result of diseased con-
dition of the womanly organism. Many
such women vdoctor" for years for
various diseases and wonder why they
don't get better. They can't get better
until the womanly organism is entirely
cured of its diseases.
This is not theory. 1t is statement
of simple facts founded upon the testi-
mony of hundreds of thousands of
women who have been cured of woman
~ diseases by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. They had been
