New Lake Disc overed.

While men were employed clearing
land near Pahoa for the Puma Sugar
Company last Tuesday a new lake was
discovered in dense forest about one
quarter Of a mile from the sugar com
pany's clearing. The lake covers an
area Of about three acres and is OF per-
lectly clear, fresh water. It is not
thought that 1t is the result Of the out
break at the Volcano but that 1t has
been there undiscovered for many
years. There is at present no road to
the place, but 1t is probable that one
will be constructed to the spot. 1t is

ONYX FIELD IN NEW YORK.


One of Uncle Sans soldiers, who
is prisoner on Governors island, is
looking forward to the day when he
is to be set at liberty with good
deal of eagerness and pleasant sntici-
patton. He holds the secret to an
onyx field in the northern part OF
this state, and his detention on Gov
ernor's island is the only thing that
stands between him and q handsome
reward for locating the field for q
company that has been formed by q
number of capitalists to quarry the
stone, says the New York Tribune.
The soldier has standing offer OF
s., 900 in cash, $4,000 in stock of the
company, and a place with the COM
pany at salary of SIS week as long
as the quarry pays.
A stranger visited Governors island
and obtained permission to talk with
the prisoner. 1t was then that the
offer was made, and the story leaked
out. A Tribune reporter met the Wis
itor on the boat coming over from the
island to the battery.
ave have made q substantial offer
to the soldier" he said, 'sif he will
direct us to the onyx field. but he
steadfastly refuses to divulge a sylla-
BILE until he is released. The sooner
be obtains his freedom the sooner we
will be able to reap our harvest. We
realize that thoroughly, and will
make every effort to have his term
shortened. Powerful influences will
be brought to bear on the authorities
at Washington, and we hope to free
him soon. He is wide awake to this
fact, and makes his release one of the
conditions.
HE discovered the onyx field acci-
dentaHy. Before he enlisted in the
army he lived in the upper part of the
state, and was an ardent hunter aft
er big game. One day, while out with
his gun, he spied deer and gave
chase. The deer led him over y rocky
hill. The sides of this hill were very
steep, and to ascend it the hunter
had to cut inches in the stone to get
a foothold. He was attracted by the
brilliancy and beauty of the pieces
of stone, and placed several of them
in his pocket. When he returned ia
Syracuse, where he lived, he gave
these pieces to some of his friends as
souvenirs. A piece of the stone, with
its history, came into my possession
and recognized at once that it was
valuable onyx. had it tested, and
found that it was of the very best
quality, and that the small piece
which possessed, measuring per
haps square inch, was worth 81
cents, uncut and unpublished"

HEALTHFUL WOMEN.
No Others Are Prepared, Pbysieally
and Mentally, for the Duties In.
cumbent Upon Them

No woman can be considered
beautiful unless the tint OF health
glows ON her cheeks. Despite the
volumes that have been written, and
the efforts Of distinguished lecturers
to make our American sisters ro-
bust, healthy set of beings, physical
ly and mentally prepared for the
varied duties of wife, mother and
friend, the means of the invalid still
greet our ears, and the numbers OF
pale, emaciated females about us give
evidence that the field is large and
that workers are still needed.
What can we do with this genera
tion but administer to their wceS
and trust to the endeavors of the
wise to effect a change in the daugh-
tiers who are to fill our places in the
future.
How few young girls realize that
If they would devote some OF the
hours which they spend over the de-
cision of the fashion and style of .

laws and the necessity of dressing
warmly in our variable climate, that
the attractiveness they so much
covet would crown their labors, and
that not only in freedom from bodily
suffering would they reap their re-
ward, but the sparkling eye and
blooming cheek would exist no longer
in the poets imagination, but become
q reality.
What mortal woman can smile and
greet with laughing face her friends,

A thunderstorm burst recently
over Marseilles with terrific results.
One house, in which dinner party

struck by lightning and one of the

gan to swing violently. He made up his
mind that Clarence was "ghost dam

without blow landing. Travers was
hot and mad and Clarence was cool and
bashful. Nobody present had the nerve

resumed his runaway fight and kept it
up till his opponent began to crowd
him with ferocious but ill-aimed swings.
Then he stopped suddenly. His teeth

paused secopd to give Travers time

hit him in the face. He heard a voice
that sounded like Mr.. Pulliam's yell:

He never boxed again. When the
clerks ask him "why" he explains that
his father heard about those cellar
