Panama Conditions.
From American Medicine


Health conditions In Panama still occupy
much public attention, and the subject Will
not down. The first fatal mistake has
brought forth the expected fruit in the way
OF panicky feeling at home. which is said
to be the cause of the present difficulty of
finding men of the proper caliber to do the
work. Women are naturally more nervous
about such matters than men. and probably
induce many man to stay away When
the wife pleads the helpless state of herself
and babies should the husband die he won d
be less than human to expose himself TO
tropie climates if he can find employment
at home. Bubonic plague has now appeared
to add to the difficulties of fighting yellow
fever and to increase nervous tension among
the employees. 1t is quite evident that for
some time the difficulty of securing men
Of ability to take the risks will INCREASE
rather than diminish. The thought ma turai-
ly arises whether 1t would not be w.sest to
announce publicly that all efforts to dig tn
canal will be temporarily abandoned and
the whole zone turned over to the absolute
control of sanitarians to render it fit to live

The Luckless Penguins.

We confess to liking for penguins. No,

Patrick Henry's Grave.

Inquiry Is made now and then as TO where
Patrick Henry is buried. The orator lies in
quiet grave on the estate in Charlotte
county Va. where he formerly lived. Red
Hill is the name OF the estate. which is ON
the Staunton river. thirty-eight miles from
Lynchbarg. When Patrick Henry bought
the place 1t comprised about $500 acres.
One OF the nearest neighbors was John
Randolph of Roanoke, fifteen miles away.

Vegetarianism as a Religion.

In Manchester there is vegetarian
church. 1t has existed for nearly a hun
dred years, and a condition of membership
is abstinence from flesh, fish and ntoxi-
cants. 1t was founded by the Rev. John
Coward. former Church of England cler-
gyman, nirety-seVen years ago, and a
daughter church with the same principles
sprang up in Philadelphia about twenty
years later.
These are the only vegetarian churches
in the western world. In China, how
ever non-vegetarian is looked on as a
wording. and the giving up of dog flesh
is taken as a sign that Buddhist or Con-
eucian has got religion"

THE WHALEMEN.
The whaling men were a hardy lot
and their shippers made the welkin
ring with the stories they told of
whale killing in the north 1t is
sail that more whales We're killed on
| the beach in Honolulu and more des-
perate chances taken than ever oc-
CURED in the Arctic. The shippers de-
lighted in each others company and
would congregate at Bolles' store or
other places and spin yarns by the
hour. While engaged in story tell
ing amidst roars of laughter probably
each of them would be whiting away
at the arms of the chairs they occu-
pied with their sharp knives. Bolles,
to protect his furniture, drove tacks
in the arms and in every tangible
part of the chairs but the shippers
diligently undertook to dig the tacks
out with their precious knives, for
there is nothing a sea captain values
more than his keen edged knife.
[ would not like to state how many
whaleships I have seen in port at one
time for fear of misstating it, but GER
tainly over seventy. Each one of them
had to have his chronometer rated and
lay in a certain stock of provisions or
discharge his cargo of oil to be taken
east by other vessels Shipping mas
crews and the natives We're on the
alert to catch any deserving sailor, for
which a reward of ten dollars was paid.

some of them, unfortunately, having
adopted what was called ''pursers
names and have left large families.
Others again forgot to get married un-
til several children We're born to them
and eventually they got law passed
legitimizing children so born where the
parents afterward married.
I had an acquaintance who kept cut
ting from newspapers all matters per-
tanning to antecedents of old residents
and his scrapbook made very lively
reading. He went farther and kept a
record of things which We're true and
yet never reached the papers. Amongst
others he had confession of a promi-
nent man, which he had been COM
PEELED to make, copies of which soon
became very rare. Many of such
things should be allowed to perish as
they might become reflections on inno-
cent relatives.
remember when Frank Medina,
who had come with minstrel show
was made leader Of the band, being
good cornet player. He got into debt
everywhere and it was said that he
was about to skip the country. His
passport was duly stopped but it was
presumed that would not stop his leav-
ing so the steamer was searched. The
police were shown all over the vessel,

A EAIR EXCHANGE.

Large sums of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust
ness men have accumulated their
millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-
Joy the confidence of the public

that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to cheat or
deceive others. A humbug may
be advertised with a noise like
the blowing Of a thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and
exposed. The manufacturers OF

believe in it as we all believe in
the word of tried and trusted
friend. It is palatable as honey

IN YE OLDEN TIME

What did We do for amusement in
We olden time? We had as many ways
of enjoyment as nowadays but they
differed in many particulars. Every
one owned horse and riding parties
were frequent and races. impromptu
of course, We're numerous. We used
lani to Thomas Square and there was
no tabu on the speed. We played
baseball behind the Custom House, and
all hands Joined in every Saturday
afternoon. We had a gymnasium at
the old theatre, amongst the boys, who
are now all getting old Afterwards
we built a gymnasium up the valley,
which building was afterwards re-
modelled into the Honolulu Hotel. The
boys all appeared to be well up IN
physique and could follow the leaders
trapeze. on the parallel bars, or up
and down the ladders. Some of our
best have passed away, as Charley
Derby, c T. Gulick, etc, but our
strong man, Ned Bush, is still with us.
We practiced with the gloves or single
sticks and the horse. I remember see
ing Sam Damon crack Frank Harris
over the head one night and make him
see stars You would not believe it of
Sam, would you? We had a good bill
lizard table and most of the boys could
play a good game. We always had one
whom we could match against any
coast sharper who should come along.
The young men of town were not as
wild as the strangers who visited the
islands, being more addicted to read
ing and improving themselves. Saloons,
oh yes. there We're lots of them but
their patronage came from whalers.
Joe Booth kept the National on the
corner of Hotel and Nuuanu. It was
double upstairs and there the women
were allowed and dancing was of
nightly occurrence. After a quadrille
the caller would sing out lead your
partners to the bar and there would
be some setting up" No change back
out of twenty or even a fifty dollar
slug was the rule
The whaling men all had an ambi
ton to ride horse and they were COM
mon prey to both police and horse
hirers. With load of gin sailor
would hire a horse and every one
knows that few horses are accustomed
to carrying more than one load at a
time. Frequently the horse would
dump both loads before he went a
block and then gallop back to the
stable to be ready to repeat the trick.
AS the charge was collected in adj
vance Jack had little show for his
money. He was fortunate if he was
not gathered in by the police and paid
a double tax. Then old Captain Coffin
in his antiquated chaise would take a
load of officers and drive them around
on the few good streets, and if the
Pullman did not break down they had
a good time. To break down, however.

have the pleasure of their lives in

DISASTER NARROWLY AVERTED
Steamer City of Columbus Escapes
Wreck Off DEVILS Bridge.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Dec. 21.-
Devils Bridge, Oft Gay Head. on which
the steamer City of Columbus was
wrecked nearly - years ago. with the
loss of 100 lives. came near claiming an
other victim today when the Edstport
schooner w. L. q W. l.. Tuck. after
dragging her anchors eight miles across
Vineyard Sound, was saved from being
thrown on the famous reef by 4 fortu-
natciy shift Of wind and the prompt
assistance Of the Gay Head lifCsaVing
crew. The Tuck, which is commanded
by CAPT. Smith and was bound light
from New York to Stonington, Me-. an
chored off TarDauln cove last night.
She had both anchors out, but was not
tar enough into the cove 10 escape the
storm when the storm broke early this
morning.
The wind increased steadily from the
northeast at this point on the coast and
the schooner began to drag. She was
well out into the sound when sighted
by the lighthouse keeper at Tarpaulin
cove. but as she flew no signals of dis
treSS it was thought that her skipper
was confident of being able to outridc
the gale. Sne still continued, however,
to drag her anchors and this afternoon
was well down to Gay Head and with
i'll mile Of the tumblng surf on
Devils Bridge. Here Capt. Smith hoist
Cd distress signals and the crew OF the
Gay Head station Immediately launched
their boat. About the same time, the
wind began to work around to the
east and southeast and the force of the
gal was well broken by the towering
bluff of Gay Head.
The lifrsavcrs found the vessel not
oElv short handel, but with the few
members of her crew completely OK
haustcd and some of them crippled. \
dtGDatch was sent to this port and the
revenue cutter Mohawk started down
the sound but before she arrived il was
found that the lifesavers had assisted
the TuckS crew in getting uD their an
cnors and hosting a few sails. The
schooner got under way late this after
noon and with a favorable breeze,
start W the sound for this port.
The British schooner A. l.. Mclean,
New York for Yarmouth, y. s., which
was also anchored i'll the sound during
the gale today. lost her Starboard an
chor and IL fathoms Of chain but was
successful in riding out the gale with
Eer remaining anchor.
