THE LEPER SETTLEMENT.
People often speak of the lepers OF
Hawaii, and | expected from reports
(of mainland origin to find a leper
around every corner, or, as one maya
zine expressed it, "A leper settlement
somewhere out in the Pacific ocean
found nothing of the sort. True there
are lepers there, but SO are there III
every country of the world. The lepers
are segregated from the clean people
and kept on MolOkai, in one OF the
most beautifunl places imaginable.
HAWAIIAN HOLIDAY.
On June 18th, the great Hawaiian
holiday, Mr.. Hebron was present il
the settlement and witnessed pat
parade. This is a Hawaiian horsebacl
parade-the riders dressed in fantastic
ally arranged skirts. On the Fourth o
July he also was able to see the sports

OF unusual interest.
Everyone is invited.

to the girls home and the sister who
has been caring for non-leprous chill
dren for twenty-six years showed me
over the place and told me much. The
sister superior gave me four photo
graphs of those children, but they are
not for publication. We went to the
playhouse, a large comfortable build
ing, in which played the happiest
crowd of mere infants | ever saw. A
stout negro woman was caring for two
of the little babies. Those children
had rocking horses, and how they did
enjoy showing off before visitors We
went into the assembly hall, if such a
term may be used, and there the older
girls gathered, waiting for our visit.
At a signal from the sister a girl be-
gan playing on the piano and sixteen
girls arranged themselves for a per-
formace. There is nothing on earth
that a Hawaiian can do better than
sing, and those little brown girls in

MARRIAGE AMONG LEPERS.
When they die they are buried by
leper undertakerds. Father Damien
the martyr priest, gave his life for the
betterment of the lepers and all races
reverence his memory. He lies buried
in the midst of the people for whom
he GAGE his life. 1t may sound strange
to hear that lepers are allowed to
marry and stranger yet that they bring
children into the world but strangest
of all that those children are nearly
always clean They are taken from
their parents at birth and brought to
! Honolulu. The girls are given into
the care of the Catholic sisters, while
the boys are kept in a home prepared
: by the government and in operation
this last year.
| Do not criticize the government OF
| those in charge who allow marriage
among the lepers until the law pro-
hibits the marriage of consumptives in

scarcely a generation may hope to es

women's horse race. Prizes of money
were given for both kinds of races.
There are three bands. LhR number
of musicians ranging from fifteen to
thirty, all lepers, and the music is ex-
cellent. A Catholic sister told me that
when the lepers played for a large
crowd of men from the mainland who
visited the settlement the hardest
hearted wept like children and the
lepers inquired why do they weep?'
Mr.. Hebron said the c-onlng festivi-
ties began with a band concert in one
of the band stands, and was followed
by a big ball The lepers danced and
refreshments of coffee, lemonade, cake
and sandwiches were served The
dances were waltzes, two-steps and
other round dances. The ladies were
dressed in holokus or shirt waists and
skirt, whl-o the men were mostly in
white duck suits.
Some lepers have big ears, and big
fingers. some have sores any place
but on the knuckles, while others have
no noses. The eXtremities are absorb
1 ed first.
The government allows about $40 per
year for clothing; the men generally
wear overalls. The food is furnished
| by tine government and to the natives
is given poi-eight pounds of fresh beef

or fresh fish.
