From the London Statist.
We Of all people, arc the least likely
TO crow over Russia because she has
met with roverses In the field. A very
fow years ago we suffered Illuminating
'nevcrses in South Africa. Fortunately
On our case our adversAries had not
a large population TO DRAW upon, and
that population did not possess the
wonderful military virtues OF the Japn-
nese. in the end therefore. we were
able to compel them to lay down arms,
But we do not forget in the least that
We suffered humiliations because we
were unpreparcd, and because in our
national vanity, we thought 1t un-
necessary to make serious preparation.
Therefore instead Of Growing over the
Russians on considering that they have
suffered dn prestige. we honestly SYM
pathize witlp them, provided they show
the manly courage to admit that they
have been defeated, and that they now
dntend 10 devote themselves to the
recupcration OF their country.

HAWAIIAN SHARK FISHER|
How the Great Man Eaters Are cau
by the Natives.

by the Natives.
1t appears that the HawaiiaI
chiefs Of some years ago we're mucHN
addicted to the use Of human flesh
as bait for sharks. 1t came cheaper
than pig, was equally acceptable to
the shark and gave the chief an op-
portunity to kill any one whom he
disliked. The victim was cut up
and left to decompose for two or
three days in a receptacle. Kane
hameha l. was great shark hunter
and kept those Of his victims who
were intended for bait penned up
near the great temple of Mookini.
Mrs. Beckley gives a particularly
interesting account Of another meth
cd Of capturing the huge niuhi, or
man eating shark, followed by the
natives. They first of all captured
a large number of the small COM
mon shark, saved their livers with
portion Of the flesh, wrapped them
in XII leaves and baked them under
ground. From fifty to a hundred
canoes we're loaded with the baked
meat and large quantities of the
pounded roots Of ava, mixed with a
little water and contained in large
gourds. The fleet would sail many
miles cut to sea in the direction in
which the niuhi is known to appear.
Arrived at a comparatively shall
low place, the canoe containing the
head fisherman and the priest and
the sorcerer, who was supposed to
be indispensable, would cast anchor.
Meat and a baked liver would be
thrown overheard, a few bundles at
a time, to attract sharks. After a
few days the grease and scent Of
cooked meats would spread through
the water many miles in radius. The
niuhi would almost always make its
appearance after the third OF fourth
day, when bundles Of the baked meat
were thrown to it as fast as it could
swallow them. After awhile it would
become comparatively tame and
would come up to one or the other
Of the canoes 70 be fed. Bundles of
the liver with the pounded ava
would then be given it, and it would
become not only satiated, but also
stupefed with ava
A moose was then slipped over its
head, and the fleet raised anchor and
set sail for home, the shark follow
ing, a willing prisoner, and the oc-
cupants of the nearest canoes being
careful to feed it upon the same
mixture from time to time. 1t was
led right into shallow water until it
was stranded and then killed. Every
part of the bones and skin was sup
posed to confer unhinching bravery
upon the possessor, and the actual
captor-that is, the one who slipped
the moose over the niuhi's head
would also ever after be always VIC
torious.-Forest and Stream.

WOMEN WHO DRIVE.

M OsT men who are accustomed to
\ driving know how prone a wo-
man is when anything exciting occurs
to snatch the relns or try to jump out.
The wife of a prominent Philadel-
phla brewer lost her life the other
night because she had an impulse dur
ing a runaway to leap from the car
rlage and despite efforts 10 restrain
her she managed to get out only to
be instantly killed. Her companions
remained until the animals came to a
standstilL and escaped.
There are SO many persons who 60
driving that two general rules should
be laid down and insisted upon: Never
snatch the reins out of the hands OF
the driver. and never leap from the
vehicle while the horses are at full
speed. Trust the driver and stay and
take your chances.

the Trouble.
No one word betuer expresses the
condition of the sufferer from weak
stomach or Indigestion than misery"
The stomach is weak and cannot digest
the food, so that there is no appetite.
there are pains and griping in the
stomach and bowels, the head and back
ache, and the misery goes to every or
gan.
Strengthen the stomach and the
digestive system by the use Of Mi-o-na.
This is the only stomach remedy known
that gives relief by strengthening the
stomach and digestive organs. It Is
this principle that makes il a certain
cure for Indigestion. Other medicines
may give temporary relief by helpine
digest the food. but they do NOT
strengthen the stomach. and that or
gan gets weaker and weaker all the
time.
Miller Drug Company the reliable
retail drug firm, have to much conf
dence in this remarkable remedy that
they guarantee a cure, or the money
win be refunded. Mi-o-na costs but
so cents a box. SAX to see the strong
guarantee given With every box.
Mi-o-na is in tablet form and should
be taken before each meal. Other
remedies for stomach troubles and in
digestion are taken after the meal and
ldecompose the good food you eat. but
Mi-o-na used before eating strengthens
the stomach, soothes and heals all irri-
tation and Inflammation, enriches the
blood, and puts the stomach in such a
healthy condition that IL will take care
OF the food itself and there will be no

TIE CHICAGO ELECTION.

nj OMINALLY the great struggle
~ for municipal control in Chi
cago has resulted in a Democratic VIC
tory. In reality however party lines
were almost obliterated II was a
contest over the control by the city Of
the street railways Yet both candi-
dates for mayor favored municipal
ownership
OF the two, however, Judge Dunno
was the more radical proclaiming
that II elected the reform would be
instituted at once; and on that plat
form the people elected him. Mr..
Harlan while favoriug municipal own
ership stated his objections to any
hasty .PT. ill-adyiseq m9yei .and the
election has shown that the people
were IN favor OF immediate action.
Judge Dunno declares that the de-
cision at the polls marks a new policy
Of the people OF this country with re-
spect to private interest in public util-
tiles. 1t may mean that or that the
people Of Chicago by local grievances
have simply taken this method Of reg
istering their protest.
Whether Judge Dunno viii be able
to institute his reform at an early date
we very much doubt. The companies
who have so much at stake will ex-
haust every effort to reverse the ver-
diet Of the people, And the question
of extending the system OF govern
mental ownership to railroads and tel
egraph lines remains where it was be-
fore the Chicago election.
