The skin of fish does not sug-

the making of clothes, yet it IS used
for this purpose by a tribe of Tar
tars in Manchuria. They inhabit
the banks of the Peony river and
live BY fishing and hunting. During
the last hundred years they have be-
come nearly extinct, owing to the
invasion of their domain by agr-
cultural Chinese. They are known
as Fishsldn Tartars. The fish they
use is the tamara, species of salm-
on. Both flesh and skin of this fish
are supposed to possess wonderful

Wrong In Habits or Health.

Wrong In Habits or Health.
Sleepiness is a normal and
healthy condition when it occurs at
the usual bedtime and when not
extreme and overpowering, but It
is not always associated with sleep.
Some persons in perfect health and
excellent sleepers hardly know the
meaning of drowsiness. They are
active mentally and physically until
they are in bed. Then sleep comes
at once, and when it leayes them in
the morning they are again IN full
mental awakeness.
There are less fortunate persons
who never have a complete and sat
isfactory nights rest who are yet
almost constantly drowsy. They
are always nodding, but when the
head touches the pillow sleep re-
cedes and the night is a succession
of drowsy lapses to sleep with the
instant return Of semiconseiousness.
In general, with the exception
noted at the beginning of this ardi-
Gle, drowsiness is abnormal and IN
dicates something wrong either
with the body of the sufferer or in
his habits. Those who habitually
cut off their hours of sleep, the
might owls" and the burners Of
the midnight oil, pay for their bad
habit by attacks of sleepiness in
the afternoon and early evening.
Later, unfortunately, after the in
fluence Of digestion wears off; the
drowsiness disappears, and then, re-
lieved of his burden, the person
'fsits up to all hours" again, think
ing in that way to make up for the
hours lost by the drowsiness. If he
would abandon his owlish hsbit, go
to bed betimes and get the seven or
eight hours of continuous sleep that
he needs his daytime and evening
drowsiness would disappear, he
could do more and better work and
find life much more enjoyable.
A slight drowsiness is often no
ticed after a hearty meal, because
digestion draws greater volume of
blood to the stomach, so that the
brain is relatively poorly supplied.
In some southern countries this
tendency is favored, and the siesta
after the noon meal is a national
custom. With US the after dinner
cup of black coffee often drives
away the impulse to sleep-whether
for good or IL may be left to the
Psychologists to determine.
Sometimes We hear Of attacks OF
sleepiness occurring suddenly at
certain periods of the day at IT.
regular intervals. These are alto
gether abnormal, and in such cases
there is almost always some poison
at work in the nervous centers,
usually self manufactured poison,
which, because it is made in too
great quantity or because const:pa-
ton or kidney disease prevents It's
rapid elimination, accumulates in
the system.
An essential in the treatment Of
such cases is dieting. Meat should
be given up for time at least, and
the only beverage allowable is water
OF milk.-Youth's Companion.

A philanthropic citizen Of small

unfortunate townspeople, who were
suffering from want during an ex-

public entertainment in their be-

but it was announced that a collec-

came, and the hall was well filed.
The entertainment, consisting Of
Rotations, music and amateur

much satisfaction the philanthropic

CAVALRY SERGEANT
4 GOOD SAMARIT TAN

Sergeant Nehls of the Fifth Cavalry,
acted the good Samaritan in proper
shape yesterday afternoon. He was
driving wagon into Honolulu from
Schofeld Barracks and, between Puka-
XII and HaIawa he discovered a Chi
nese lying by the roadside.
He stopped the wagon and asked
what the matter was. The man had
a broken leg and was suffering intol-
erably from the thirst chat always ac-
companies hurts of that kind. Sergeant
Nehls lifted him into the wagon, got
him some cool water and then brought
him into town.
1t seems that the Chinese was driv-
ing a wagon towards Honolulu and
that his horse was scared by the ap-
proach of some stray cows. The horse
kicked and got him on the leg, making
a compound fracture. Then the horse
ran away.
Nehls took his rescued friend to the
house of relatives in town and then
reported the matter to the police
station. On inquiry by the police it
was found that his friends were amply
able to care for him and that Chi
nese medical practitioner had been call
ed in. The wagon belonging to the
injured man was afterwards found off
the road and some miles from. where
the horse kicked and ran away.

GHOSTS ABROAD
In OLD WAIKIKI
Continued from Page One.)

One night early last week about one
clock in the morning, just at the
beginning of the bright moonlight, a
solitary figure was seen to be walking
softly down boardwalk leading
through lot in which there are several
occupied cottages. The figure was
shrouded in black and kept fading and
reappearing amons5t the numerous
trees. One of the residents there,
happening to arise at that
time and looking out, found him.
self gazing into pair of CHASTITY bright
eyes which glared at him for a moment
before they and their owner disappear
ed in the shade. Later the figure waa
seen sitting on the beach rocking back
and forth slowly, erouched against the
white of the sand and the light of the
moon.
A few nights nassed without any
thing unusual happening; then another
figure was observed going through the
same tactics and finally sitting down
on the steps of one of the houses and
there in the bright moonlight also
rocked back and forth with low moan
ing that sent shudders flying over those
who heard it. This figure gradually
faded away.
The elimination of the mysteries that
were perplexing and startling those in
the district occurred yesterday and as
result one of the participants of the
scene is confined to his bed.
He was putting his automobile away
in the shed when there was a sudden
crash in the unused story above and
the dirt and wasps nests on the roof
poured down ON him. There was 4
sudden rush of scurrying feet over the
floor above, another crash and all was
silent as was proper. Tmorous in
vestigation showed that the two win
dOws which have never been used were
both open slightly and that there were
two chests in the room, one of which
was also open.
Crowding together TO protect them
selves and to ward off the creepy feel
ing that was creeping over them, the
residents of the lot slowly approached
the chest and opened it, holding their
breaths the while. There was a SHIN
mer from its depths, a shrek from the
investigators, and then. when more
courage was summoned. they returned
and pulled ont of the chest. covered
with the scent of lavendar, a most won
derful and old-fashioned wedding dress.
There now.

Grundys farcical comedy, The Cir

will tomorrow night enter upon the seven
teenth and final week of the summer sea-
son at the Columbia Theater.
The enormous business that has been
recorded throughout the entire season
the excellence of the plays presented, the
merit of the productions and the lndlSlo-
ual artistic triumpns OF the members OF
the organization make the current week
the climax of season that is little snort
of phenomenal.
The Girl From the Circus is proba-
bly, one of the best farces ever written.
1t proved a foremost success in the
memorable repertoire presented by the
late Augustin DAILY at the theater In New
York that bears his name. 1t was IN this
play that John Drew made great met
ropolitan success. and, incidentally. 1t
try scored one of his most pronounced
hits in the British metropolis.
The pay reads almost like a fairy tale,
with the added interest of being intense
ly human in its conception. 1t carries a
love story that is compelling in Its appeal.
In the role made memorable by Drew
and Hawtry, Everett Buttertield will pre-
sent a character entirely new to him.
James A. Bliss will lay aside the line OF
old-man characters in which he has here
Jofore been seen and Will become DASH

done right along at the naval gun factory

of a huge gun weighing eightyfou tons
will also be shown. This will be follow
ed by an exciting picture taken from the

to the experience of being present at
a great naval battle that most people are
vouch Safed.
There will also be travel pictures taken
in the parks and boulevards of Paris
a trip through picturesque Algeria
the glories OF sunset and moonlight
at sea, Canada in winter, light
