The number of pupils in all schools in
Hawaii Is now 1888, an increase of Y
per cent over ten years ago. The death
rate from leprosy has shown marked
decrease for the last decade, largely due
to better sanitary conditions at the Mo-
lokai settlement. The number of pa
tients there June 80 last. was 9l5.
The shipments of merchandise, not in
GLIDING specie, for the past year are less
in value than the previous fiscal year by
50, 26O, sos. All of this, except $s6,Ss5. is
chargeable to thee ne item of sugar and
is due solely to a decrease in the mar
ket value of that article and not to a
diminished production. The sugar ship
ped the past year was 72O, 553,357 pounds,
an increase of 29,674123 pounds.
OF the total value of shipments, not in
Guiding specie, from the territory during
the past year of $2i, 1875, 1876. $SS.SlS repre-
sents the value of foreign merchandise
shil ped as against n value of $24. 54,92l
of domestic merchandise. OF this total
value the shipment to foreign countries
were worth ,547 and those to the main
land were worth $24,730,1SS.

HILL BECOMES VOLCANO,
CONSERVATION Among Inhabitants OF
Manv Mexican Towns.

Mexico City, Oct. 27.-There is no little
CONSERVATION felt by the inhabitants or
many towns and cities in the remote
south country on account of showers OF
ashes falling in the extensive region from
San Juan Bautista, capital of the state
of Tabasco, and Comitan in the state or
Chiapas, as far north as Satina cruz,
the western terminus of the Tehauntepec
national railway.
1t Is believed. according to reports re-
ceived from Indians, that a hill near
Patenuue. where there is a great pre-
historic city in ruins, has suddenly been
transformed into an active volcano. The
ashes falling at Patenque have hidden the
sun and also at Comitan, and great fear
has come on the people. Patenque Is the
center of the disturbance as the burning
mountain is said to be near there.
There is some anxiety as regards Chla-
pas. -,
Indians arriving at San Christibal las
Casas say that a hill in the Gaude'onpe
sierra is vomiting fire and smoke. People
in many towns have been running about
in terror and offering pray ers publicly for
the safety of themselves and children
Scientific opinion is that all this Is part
of the general awakening of volcanic
force in the West Indies and Central
America.

Poor Sinners Bell.

The poor sinners bell is bell in the
tity of Breslau, in the province of
Silesia, Prussia, and hangs in the tower
of one of the city churches. II was
cast July IL, 1886, according to historic
records. 1t is said that great bell
founder of the place had undertaken
to make the finest church bell he had
ever made.
When the metal was melted, the
founder withdrew for few moments,
leaving boy to watch the furnace
and enjoining him not to meddle with
the catch that held the molten metal.
but the bog discbeyed the caution, and
when he saw the metal flowing into
the mold he called the founder.
The latter rushed in and seeing as he
thought his work of weeks undone and
his masterpiece ruined, struck the boy
blow that caused his immediate
death. When the metal cooled and the
mold was opened, the bell was found TO
be not only perfect, but of marvellous
sweetness of tone.
The founder gave himself up to the
authorities, was tried and condemned
to death. On the day of his execution
the bell was rung to call people TO at
tend church and offer prayer for the
unhappy mans soul, and from that it
obtained the name OF "the poor sinners
bell"

IS;ng1y superstition..

Kingship has been kin to superstition
always. james 1. of England was su
perstitious about dates, and there We're
remarkable condolences in his life
with certain dates of the calendar. The
day of the month on which he was
born was strangely interviewer with
the days of birth and marriage of his
wife and some o. his children and their
wives. But James was an old fool who
made love to young Buckingham, who
laughed in his face and robbed him OF
his jewels.
Napoleon was superstitious about the
way he put OH his stockings. Frederick
the Great and the great Peter of Rus
sia We're snperstitious about dozens of
things. Marlborough, both as Jack
Churchill and the duke, was supersti-
tious as We'll as II thief and a traitor.
Nearly all the Stuarts We're supersti-
tious and double dealers i'll religion.
Henry Of Navarro was superstitious,
but that never kept him from thou
sand intideltes. All the children of
Catherine of AIcdici We're scared to
death by their superstitions, but they
could lie, cheat and murder just as
we'll. If Cromwell was victim of SUI
pcrstition, he kept it to himself.-New

Fishing For Ducks.

In India an ingenious scheme is prac-
ticed for taking ducks on u line, which
is .llt,,ched AZ one end to a flexible stick
stuck up in the mud, the other eNtrem
ity having 81 double pointed needle of
bone attached to it. The latter is bait
ed by stringing upon it some grains OF
corn. Presently along comes Mr. Duck.
swallows the needle and finds himself
a captive the moment he tries to fly
away. In oldcn times the Cape Cod
fishermen depended largely for bait up
on the seafowl they took OH their voy-
ages. To catch them they threw out
fishing lines With hooks on the end, to
which We're attached chunks of cod
liver. Tile latter tioated because of the
oil they contained, and INJURIES, gulls
and other birds swallowing them We're
quickly pulled in, skinned and chopped
