DARING RISKS RUN BY CHINESE SMUGGLERs, WHO DEFY

/ a Pacific steamer gives the following
account from his personal experiences:
Some years ago, before the acquisi-

There was not a soul aboard the ship
that did not have secret dealings with
the Chinese ashore, but it was these
half dozen men in particular that both
cred the ring on shore especially, for
they were wholesale dealers and, more
over, made no secret of it.
One of these men. a quartermaster
and my watch mate, was reputed to be
the most daring of the lot He was

AMBROSE BlERCE AS A PIC.

Ambrose Bierce, while out in San
Francisco recently. visited the new
house of an old friend, gentleman of
Irish extraction. The hostess evidently
took great pride in the house, the fur
nishings of which were new and beauti-
full and gave every evidence of taste
and refinement. Mr.. Bierce, who has
an eye for beautiful gave unstinted
praise TO everything he saw.
But he said, Il am sorry to see
that your house, beautiful it is.

house should be without"
What is that?" she asked, unsus-

When sugar growing first brought
white planters finding that no depend

began to import Chinese coolies With
him John brought over many of his
native customs. among them the use
of opium Thus was born the Homo

shipload of coolies arrived at Honolulu
the demand for the poppy juice In
creased proportionately.
In those early days a native SOW
ereign ruled Hawaii-ruled TO ell out

merchants pulled the strings behind the
throne. The King was well aware OF
it, but as each pull poured shower Of
gold into his lap he raised no objections,
Besides, he had a live interest IN some
of the business deals himself.
With the increase Of the Chinese pop
ulation the white merchants saw a new
field for enterprise-the importation of
opium.
But al first it did not pay. The bulk
of opium was small in comparison to
its value, and all the sailors son incom-
ing ships brought chestfuls of it. This
competition made profits comparatively
small. So the strings were pulled. and
the King declared opium contraband-
to be strictly excluded from the coun-
try. except as medicine. Then the trade
became profitable. Opium could be
bought in San Francisco for from 50 To
S12 a pound could be struggled into
Honolulu, and there sold for $50, prof

also, but not safe.

lines between the Orient and San Fran

VIRTUES OF THE PINEAPPLE.

The partaking of a slice of pineapple
after a meal is quite in accordance
with physiological indications, since,
though it may not be generally known
fresh pineapple juice contains a re-
markabIy active digestive principle
similar to pepsin. This principle has
been termed '.bromelin," and so power
full is it's action upon proteids that 1t
will digest as much as 1000 times It's

tive activity varies in accordance with
the kind of proteid to which II Is SUD

men of eggs the digestive process is

it's action seems first to produce PUPPY

gestive agents exist in other fruits, but

pints of Juice it will be seen that the
digestive action OF the whole fruit must
be enormous. The activity of this Pc
culiar digestive agent is destroyed in
the cooked pineapple, but unless the
pineapple is preserved by heat there is
no reason why the timed fruit should
