HOSPITAL FOR INCURABLES
ALMOST READY FOR USE

w Incurables has progressed so far
that the management is now
figuring upon the date when possession
may be taken of the buildings. All Of
the construction is finished. except per-
haps some little matters in the interior,
and the painting will begin at once.
Within two months 1t is thought the
patients will be removed from the pres
ent hospital at Kakaako and made
comfortable in their new home at Kai-
muki.
After due consideration II has been
decided that the hospital will come un-
der the clause of the appropriation bill
which sets aside $500 month for the
care of-the unfortunates whose cases
are beyond remedy, and this sum will
enable the running of the hospital on
the same lines that have distinguished
its control from its inception. There
are now fourteen patients in the hos
pital and the new accommodations are
ample for many more than that num-
Der, so the inmates will have every
comfort when once they experience tn,

In which installation has been made.
In his opinion there is absolutely no
chance that cane fire might arise
from the engine. owing to the fact that
there has not been reported a single
occasion when there was a spark from

by the cost OF buildings. the clearing

LEPROSY IS CURED BY THE
USE OF CHATTANOOGA OIL

q T. LOUIS. June 3.-Dong Gong, a
Chinese leper, who for nine
~ months has occupied an isolation
house near the quarantine station on
the outskirts of this city, is recovering
from his malady.
Hardly n trace now remains of the
symptoms which last summer led more
than two hundred St Louis medical
men to the unanimous conclusion that
Dong Gong was a victim Of leprosy.
Discoloration has disappeared from
the patients face and limbs, and feel
ing has returned to the spots of flesh
which were insensible to the pricking
of pins or the touch OF hot irons.
DR.. Martin G. Woodruff, Superintend-
ent of Quarantine, who has charge of
the case. says that If the patient con-
tinues to improve ut the present rate
no excuse for holding him will remain
two months hence, and he will be dis
charged.
Chaulmoogra oil, the product of an
East Indian tree has been the sole
treatment administered to Dong Gong,
aside from fresh air and a liberal diet
of rice and pork chops.
Or. Woodruff commenced the chaul-
moogra' oil treatment Immediately after
taking charge of the patient and at
tributes the apparent cure to its use
Commencing with five drops OF oil a
day, DIR. Woodruff Increased his
patients dose to forty or sixty drops

The employment of teachers by the

teachers.
The medical officer In charge at Ma

his assistants and inspectors Though
IL was the vacation season Professor
Atkinson was unable TO send more than
three OF his force. Upon their arrival
at Malolos they discovered that they
were expected to pay their own ex-
penses into the highways and byways
of the surrounding country, and were
informed that their remuneration would
be the munificent sum of $50 gold per
month, provided there were sufficient
funds included in the insular appropri-
alton to meet that expense. The teach
ers decided that the vacation was
preferable. 1t was their opinion that

TIE HEART OF THE PEOPLE.

If anyone has any doup, that the
great heart of the people is merciful
and just. the p~romptitude with which
the public has responded to the APP
peals of the destitute in the last two
or three days ought to be sufficient to
dispel it. says the Kansas City Star.
In each instance money, food. clothing
and kind words have been the imme-
date result.
And yet there are persons who con
tinually murmur about human nature
edness. The reformer who proposes
any sort of plan for the betterment OF
a community is invariably met with
the plant: It's all very well, but
you'll have to change human nature
first" Such a person is the worst kind
of pessimist. He looks at his fellow
man with mistrust and skepticism,
even with hatred. He is guilty of a
libel upon humanity.
1t is n of the most cheering things,
and fullest of hope, that in this busy,
%distracting world, people daily and
hourly turn aside to give of their time
and money to those in distress. The
cry of hunger rarely goes unheard.
That there is evil in the world and
that cruel wrongs are perpetrated can
not be denied. But that such wrongs
are the outgrowth of anything inner
ent in human nature can be and is de-
MED. Who can doubt that ninety-nine
out of a hundred persons prefer to do
right rather than wrong? And that
when they do wrong it is their circum-
stances OF environment rather than
their nature that impels them? 1t is
something without and not within
the incentive of gain, for instance
that moves them. Human nature is
not a monstrosity. 1t is in the innate
goodness of mankind. which all the
ages have not been able in anywise to
dim or destroy, that the hope of pos
terity lies.

IRRIGATION LEGISLATION.

The senate committee on public
lands has unanimously endorsed the
irrigation bill framed by the western
members of congress-. The president
and two members of the cabinet paved
the way for such a measure in a mes
sage and reports to congress. The
San Francisco Call says that If any
precedent were needed to demonstrate
anew the value of irrigation carried
out on a large scale it would be found
in what has been accomplished by the
British in Egypt. In a recent report
on the subject Lord Cromer states that
since 1885 the government of Egypt
has expended over $685. 900 900 on pub
lie works connected with the Nile.
That is an enormous outlay for a coun-
try SO poor as Egypt. but the results
| prove it to have been one of the most
successful achievements of British
rule. 1t has had the effect of doubling
the cotton crop and adding upwards of
S25, OO0, 900 annually to the income of
the people.
Basing conclusions upon the results
thus obtained by improved irrigation
facilities in lower Egypt, the British
are sanguine hat an even larger pro-
portional benefit will be derived from
comprehensive irrigation along the up
per Nile. 1t is proposed to dam one of
the lakes which form the sources of
the Nile and so create a huge reservoir
to draw upon at need.
Sir William GaTstin. who has charge
of the engineering problems involved
in the scheme. states in a recent re-
port hat a series of dams and canals
"a be so constructed that the COM
pleted work will not only provide irri-
cation for millions of arid acres, but
will also drain extensive swamps and,
finally. improve the navigation of the
upper Nile as well. The accomplish
ment of three such important benefits
by a single scheme of improvement
will certainly rank among the best
things the white man has yet perform

ton of inferior
