A WOman'S Wealth,
Paine'S Celery
Compound
GIVES VTGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATBD AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness Of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to oyerwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
Respondent hopeless, and sickly women

healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness TO Paine's

and will sing in combination under
the leadership Of Mrs. Tucker.
The children will form in procession
outside the grounds and will march to
the tune of a quickstep by the govern
ment band to the great singing pavilion
with banners and school colors gailly
flying. Japanese and Chinese students
win wear their national costumes and
Hawaiian girls will all be dressed in
white with leis of flowers in their
school colOrs. The gathering and
the music viii be Of a grandeur ever
witnessed before in the islands and
will undoubtedly bring forth an i'm
mense audience.
The competition is for beautiful
trophy made on vellum by f. \. p.
Newcomb and designed especially for
the occasion. The trophy is well
worth the enthusiastic efforts of the
different schools to carry it off as it
is richly and eXquisitely illuminated
and entirely original in design. It
IS heraldic in character and is to be
striven for annually. In the center is
a shield surmOunted by an Hawaiian
crown. The center represents celes-
tial and terrestrial music by skillfully
designed cherubim and musical char
acters and is supported on either side
by Fra Angelica angels. The mantle
is a royal purple lined with silver. on
| il is lettering showing its object, the
school holding it and the length of
time it has been held.
After the competitive singing will be
! a gymnastic exhibition under the sup
ervision of Miss Adams. One hun
dred and sixty girls from Pohukaina
! School clad in white and decorated
with leis of overs will go through a
number of pretty and Vi ell drilled
marching evolutions and this will be
followed by an exhibition of Indian
/ club swinging by sixty boys Both will
have the aid of the music of the gov
eminent band.
Miss Rose Dawson has charge of de-
corating the grounds and has a sur
prise in store for the audience.

ONION STICKS IN EAR.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May Ethel
Root, % years old, of 2O2O Lambert
street, found pungent piece of onion
an effective cure for earache, but it
also necessitated her going to the
Samaritan hospital to get rid of the
cure.
She had suffered severely from the
pain in her ear, and on the advice of
friend tied a piece of onion against
the ear cavity by means of a bandage
about her head The application so
much relieved her that she hesitated to
remove it lest the pain return. When
she took the bandage off the onion
could not be removed and she had to
go to the Samaritan hospital, where
DR.. Carpenter eXtricated it.

FOR THE INDECENT SICK.


Honolulu Hawaii, May II, 1854
To the Public:
The last Legislature having failed to
provide funds for the maintenance OF
the Government Dispensary or provide
medicines or supplies therefor, ana
also having failed to provide for "a
Government Physician for the District
of Honolulu. the undersigned physi-
clans have mutually agreed to render
their services free of charge for the
care of the INDECENT sick and helpless
through the Dispensary until July 1st'
1905, or until the Legislature meets and
and otherwise provides.
The necessity Of this step is disclosed
by the fact of there having been S56
treatments at the Dispensary and 62
outside visits in the month of April
There will be an increase of calls upon
the Dispensary To meet expenses
1925 per month will be required.
We believe the object will appeal to
the charitable and the funds be volun-
tarly forthcoming.
Contributions may be handed to the
undersigned physicians, or forwarded
to the President of the Board or
Health.

TO BE CONTINUED,

THE FAME OF GIoTTo.-In his own
day Giotto's fame as a painter was
supreme. He had numerous follow
ers. and these "Giotteschi," as they
were styled, continued his methods
for nearly n hundred years. But, like
all the great men Of the Florentine
school. he was a master Of more than
one craft. Forget that they were
painters" writes Mr.. Berenson, they
remain great sculptors. forget that
they were sculptors, and still they re-
main architects. poets and even men
of science" The beautiful Campanile,
which stands beside the cathedral In
Florence and represents perfect un-
ion Of strength and elegance, was de-
signed by Giotto and partly erected IN
his lifetime. Moreover, the sculptured
reliefs which decorate its lower part
we're all from his designs, though ne
lived to execute only two Of them
Thus, architect, sculptor, painter
friend of Dante and Of other great men
of his day, Giotto was the worthy
forerunner Of that brilliant band or ar
lists which a century later made Flor
ence forever renowned as the BIRTH
place Of that great revival or ne"
birth" Of art generally called tine
renaissance"

and the last time had fenced with
him, there at home, he said my arm
was stronger and quicker than his had
ever been. Indeed, l was no sooner
tall enough to swing a sword than he
began teaching me how to use 1t. In
the wood back of the barracks that
night, they learned I was not man
to be fooled with. The tall sergeant
who stood before me saw his sword
go flying in the gloom the second
thrust he made at me, and ran for his
life, amid roars Of laughter. had no
lack of friends after that day.
It was a year of surprises in the
northern army, and D'ri was the
greatest of all. That long, wiry, sober
faced Yankee conquered the smartness
of the new camp in one decisive and
immortal victory. At first they were
disposed to poke fun at him.
Looks little tired" said the ser
geant of the guard.
Needs rest-that's what g matter
o. him." said the captain.
"Orter be turned out t. grass leetle
WHILE" the adjutant suggested.
The compliments he failed to hear
soon came to him indirectly, and he
had much to put up with. He kept his
temper and smoked thoughtfully, and
took it all in good part. The night
after he came they put him on guard
duty-a greenhorn, with no knowledge
Of any orders but gee and haw. They
told him he should allow nobody to
pass him while on duty, but omitted
to mention the countersign. They In
structed him in the serious nature of
his task, adding that his failure to
comply with orders would incur the
penalty of death. D'ri looked very
sober as he listened. No man ever felt
keener sense Of responsibility. They
intended, think, to cross the lines and
take his gun away and have fun with
him, but the countersign would have
interfered with their plans.
D'ri went to his post little after
sundown. The guard was posted. The
sergeant, with his party Of six, starteH
back to the guard-house, but they
never got there. They went as far as
D'ri. He stood with his gun raised.

I'll let the moonlight through ye"
They knew he meant it, and they
stood still.

D'ri drop yer guns n set down. Ye

They did as he commanded, for they
could see he meant business, and th$
knew he had the right to kill. 4

replied.

PRESSED TO DEATH
Fearful Punishment That Obtained
Under Old English Law.


Under Old English Law.
Under the old English law If pris-
oner stood mute and failed to plead to
the indictment a jury was impaneled
to determine whether his conduct came
from obsttnacy or from a natural i'm
pediment. According to Blackstone, II
the prisoner was found to be obsti-
-nately mute and the indictment was
for high treason it was settled that
his silence was equivalent to co1vic-
ton and that judgment and execution
should follow. This same rule applied
to petit larceny and misdemeanors, but
upon appeal or indictments for other
felonies or petit treason, according to
the ancient law, the prisoner was not
deemed convicted; but, because OF his
obstinacy, he received 'the terrible
sentence Of penance or peine" and was
pressed to death. .....
Blackstone thus describes this pun
ishment: THAT the prisoner be re-
manded to the prison from whence he
came and put in low, dark chamber
and there be laid on his back to the
bare floor, naked unless decency for
bids; that there be placed upon his
body as great q weight Of iron ss he
could bear and more; that he should
have no sustenance, save only on the
first day three morsels Of the worst
bread, and on the second day three
draftii Of standing water that should
be nearest thetprison door, and In this
situasion this should be alternately

In the month just past the cont OF

compara with tsss.43 of November and

to the decreased cost Of eggs and dai-

quart. Spirits, tobacco and tea show
ed no a htctuation in price.
Although the fall in cotton has been
great, the price iof cotton goods have
fallen little. owing to the limited sup
plies. The available supply OF wool
has been depleted and It is expected
that the price oftwoolen garments VIII
increase.

and shoes, but hides and leather have
moved steadily upward almost with
out Interruption, since the packing

ply. The shortage has never been
made up. and 1t IL likely to continue
because hides are only by-product
and there is no prospect Of such a
demand for beef that an abnormal
number OF cattle will be killed. The
other solution lies in the importation
of foreign dry hides, which may be
substituted so a certain extent.
