The Pill Beautiful.

In the past the size of a pill was often, to use Dominic Sampson's favorite expression, "prodigious." It was seldom coated except when a little flour was sprinkled upon it--a most illusive method of concealing its nauseous flavor, and lastly its surface was frequently so adhesive in hot weather that it would fasten itself to the organs of taste like a limpet to a rock. The chemist has enabled the pill manufacturer to reduce the size of many pills by separating out the active principles of the crude drug in the form of alkaloids, the doses of which are very small, sometimes not more than a hundredth part of a grain. With the aid of new kinds of machinery the modern pill receives exquisite polish. A perfectly smooth and shining surface is produced by the action of two receiving plates. After that the pill is stuck on a pin and dipped into liquid preparations of gelatin. These, on drying, give it a thin, hard, soluble coating. For children pills are made attractive by coating them with sugar and coloring them pink, so that they look and taste very much like confectionery. Various substances have been used for coating pills. One seldom sees now pills coated with hold or silver leaf. It was found that these coverings did not properly conceal the disagreeable odor of some drugs, as valerian and asafetida.--Chambers' Journal.

Not the Same Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Hoke Smith told me a short time since an amusing little experience of hers in calling at one of the senatorial houses. After greeting the hostess she passed on to give place to the newcomers, and walking up to one of the receiving party introduced herself in the customary manner, saying with a smile, "Mrs. Hoke Smith." To her surprise and intense inward amusement the assistant so graciously approached, instead of receiving her polite overtures as they were meant, at once bristled up, replying: "No indeed, I am not Mrs. Hoke Smith. Every woman in Washington named Smith is not Mrs. Hoke Smith."

"I should be very sorry if that were the case," was the gentle rejoinder, "as I am Mrs. Hoke Smith, and I would be very sorry to find another in Washing-ton."--Kate Field's Washington.

The world's oyster fisheries produce annually 4,489,000,000 oysters, one-half being consumed within three days after they are taken.

California puts the rest of the country under obligations by supplying us with 33,000,000 pounds of raisins every year, most of which are eaten in the United

States.

TREATMENT BY INHALATION! 1529 Arch St., Philad'a, Pa. For Consumption, Asthama, Bronchitis, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Hay Fever, Headache, Debility, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, And all Chronic and Nervous Disorders.

It has been in use for nearly a quarter of a century. Thousands of patients have been treated, and more than 1000 physicians have used it and recommended it.

It is agreeable. There is no nauseous taste, nor aftertaste, nor sickening smell.

We give below a few of the great number of testimonials which we are constantly receiving from those who have tried it, published with the express permission in writing of the patients.

"Please accept my sincere gratitude for the restored life of happiness and health and vigor and usefulness that the Compound Oxygen has certainly given me. "While I was always considered a healthy child, I was known to be dyspeptic from babyhood. It was inherited. For two years I was confined almost constantly to the lounge. For more than four years I did not know a moment free from pain. All this time dyspepsia continued its ravages, except when temporarily relieved, and aggravated other serious disorders.

My friends and physicians thought I would not recover. To-day I am entirely cured of dyspepsia, can enjoy articles of food that I never dared use before in all my life. For the past year I have been up and going in ease and health, with sufficient vigor to take some part in domes-

tic work of the most laborious nature. As my strength continues to improve, since leaving off Oxygen, I feel that I can conscientiously recom-

mend the treatment, not only to cure (provided the doctors' directions are observed), but to be lasting in its beneficial effects. "MISS JAMIE MAGRUDER, "Oak Hill, Florida."

"The Oxygen Treatment you sent me for C. O. Harris, a year ago, one of my missionaries from West Africa, whose life was in jeopardy on account of lung trouble and a severe cough, he now testifies has greatly benefited him. He has entirely recovered his health, married a wife, returned to his work in Africa, and taken his wife with him. Bishop WILLIAM TAYLOR, 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y.

"Compound Oxygen..Its Mode of Action and Results" is the title of a book of 200 pages published by Drs. Starkey & Palen, which gives to all inquirers full information as to this remarkable curative agent, and a record of surprising cures in a wide range of cases--many of them after being abandoned to die by other physicians. Will be mailed free to any address on application. Drs. STARKEY & PALEN, 1529 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa. 120 Sutter St., San Francisco, Cal. Please mention this paper.

TALMAGE IN HAWAII. THE GREAT DIVINE'S IMPRESSIONS OF THE NEW REPUBLIC. What Christianity Has Done For the Hawaiians--A Land Full of Beautiful Flowers--Graphic Picture of the World's Greatest Volcano. [Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1804.]

HONOLUL, June 7.--It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon when at San Francisco I stepped aboard the Alameda of the Oceanic Steamship company, our Cap-

tain Morse one of the most genial, pop-

ular and able commanders who ever sailed the seas. He and the Pacific ocean are old acquaintances. He has been in 17 hurricanes and safely outrode them. Profusion of flowers were sent up by the gangplank, and the masses of people on the wharf who had come to see their friends off waved handkerchiefs and threw kisses and cried and laughed as is usual when an ocean steamer is about to start. The gong sounded for the leav-

| [IMAGE] KILAUEA |

ing of all those from the ship's deck who did not expect to accompany us. The whistle blew for loosening from the wharf, and the screw began to whirl, and the ship moved out toward the Golden Gate.

The Pacific ocean met us with waves

high enough to send many to their berths and to arouse in the rest of us the question of why so rough a sea should be called the Pacific. And for two days the roll, the jerk, the rise, the fall, the lunge, the tremor, the quake, spoiled the appetite and hid from sight the majority of the passengers. But after the third day the ocean and the ship ceased their wrestling, and peace smoothed the waves and hushed the winds, for the same Lord who took a short walk upon rough Galilee takes a longer walk upon Pa-

cific seas.

Different from most voyages, there seemed no disagreeables on board--

enough passengers to avoid loneliness, not so many as to be crowded. What

difference between a sea voyage now, with all comforts afforded and the ta-

ble containing all the luxuries that can

allure a weak appetite, and those days when the missionaries crossed to Honolulu in vessels greasy and rude and with food rancid or stale and with sail full of whims, now full curbed, and

now limp and idle!

Politics has never done much for the Sandwich Isles. If a man have no expectations for these gems of the Pacific except that which comes from human legislation, I would think he would be as despairful as was Kamehameha, the third king of the Sandwich Islands, when on his dying bed he said: "What is to become of my poor country? There is no one to follow me. Queen Emma I do not trust, Lunalilo is a drunkard and Kalakana is a fool." All that has been done for the Hawaiian Islands has been done by our gracious God and the missionaries. A foreign ship brought them the mosquitoes. The foreign sailors brought them the leprosy. American politics brought

them the devil. Had it not been for

the gospel those islands would have been putting to death women for eating bananas when forbidden to do so and bowing to a disgusting idolatry, and in all the islands it would have been a midnight of cruelty and abomination. The Annexation Question. But the missionaries came, and in eight years 12,000 people gathered into the churches and 26,000 children into schools proposing Christian civilization, which now holds a beautiful supremacy over the Sandwich Islands. There are two great parties in the Hawaiian Is-lands--royalists, who want the queen, and annexationists, who want to come

under our eagle's wing.

Neither of them will triumph. The final result will be a republic by itself, of which the present government is an antepast. The Hawaiian nation is strong enough to stand alone. Because a nation is not gigantic is no more reason why it should not have self control than a man with limited resources of physical or financial strength should be denied independence. If God had intended Honolulu to belong to the United States, he would have planted it hundreds of miles nearer our American coast. The United States government is not so hungry for more land that it needs to be fed on a few chunks of island brought from 1,800 miles away. No danger that some other foreign nation shall take possession of the islands and give us trouble when we want to run into Honolulu for the coaling and watering of our ships. With some ironsides from our new navy and the aid of our friends on the islands we would knock into smithereens such foreign impertinence. Besides that, if we become as a nation a great maritime power, and we will, none of the islands of the Pacific would decline us sheltering harbor or supply for our ships. What though they belonged to other nations,

they would sell us all we want. It is not necessary to own a store in order to purchase goods from it. Hawaiian Progress. These are venerable islands. Those who can translate the language of rocks and the language of human bones say that these islands have been inhabited 1,400 years at least. When found in 1778, they were old places of human habitation. The most unique illustration in all the world of what pure and simple Christianity can do is here. Before the supernatural force began infanticide was common, and not by milder forms of assassination, but buried alive. Demented people were murdered; old people were allowed to die of neglect. Polygamy in its worst form reigned, and it was as easy for a man to throw away his wife as to pitch an apple core into the sea. Superstition blackened the earth and the heavens. Christianity found the Sandwich Islands a hell and turned them into a semiheaven. As in all the other regions where Christianity triumphed, it was maligned by those who came from other

lands to preach their iniquities. Loose foreigners were angered because they were hindered in their dissoluteness by a new element they had never before confronted.

"There is Honolulu," cried many voices this morning [on?] the deck of the Alameda. These [?] sailed by many an archipelago, [?] them the constellation of the Pacific, for they seem not so much to have grown up as alighted from the heavens. The bright, the redolent, the umbrageous, the floralized, the orcharded, the forested, the picturesque Hawaiian Islands! They came in upon us as much as we came in upon them in the morning. Captain Cook no more discovered them in 1778 than we discovered them today. He saw them for the first time for himself, and we see them for the first time this morning for ourselves. More fortunate are we than Captain Cook. He looked out upon them from a filthy boat and wound up his experiences by furnishing his body as the chops and steaks of a savage's breakfast. We from a graceful ship alight amid herbage and arborescence and shall depart with the good wishes and prayers from all the

islanders.

High Official Courtesies. As you approach the harbor there is in sight a long line of surf, rolling over reefs of coral. High mountains, hurricane cleft and lightning split, but their wounds bandaged with the green of perennial foliage. In a few minutes after landing a chamberlain of the queen called to invite us to her mansion, and Chief Justice Judd called with a delegation to ask me to preach that afternoon. I accepted the invitation brought by the chamberlain and was beautifully entertained by the queen. With President Dole of the provisional government and Chief Justice Judd I went to the executive buildings, which were formerly the palace. The council of the president were already assembled in what was originally the throneroom, and taking the chair on the platform he called for order and then rose, and all the councilors arose with him, and he led them in prayer, saying, as near as I can remember: "O Lord God of nations, we ask thy direction in the matters that shall come before us. Give us wisdom and prudence and fidelity in the discharge of our duties, and thou shalt have all the praise, world without end. Amen." I have not been told whether most of the presidents of the United States have opened their cabinet meetings in that way, but it certainly is a good way. At 3 o'clock that afternoon the Congregational church was packed to overflowing with a multitude, about one-half native Hawaiians and the other half people of many lands. It was amazing to me that with such a short notice of a few hours such a throng could be gathered. But the Honolulu papers have been publishing my sermons for years, and it was really a gathering of old friends. An interpreter stood beside me in the pulpit, and with marvelous ease translated what I said into the Hawaiian language. It was such a scene as I never before witnessed, and I shall never see it repeated. After shaking hands with thousands of people I went out in the most delicious atmosphere and sat down under the palm trees. What a bewitchment of scenery! What heartiness of hospitality! The Hawaiians have no superiors for geniality and kindness in all the world. In physical presence they are wondrous specimens of good health and stalwartness. One Hawaiian could wrestle down two of our nation. The Land of Flowers. Miracle of productiveness these islands. Enough sugar to sweeten all the world's beverages; enough bananas to pile all the world's baskets; enough rice to mix all the world's puddings; enough coconuts to powder all the world's cakes; enough flowers to garland all the world's beauty. Banks of flow-

| [IMAGE] HARBOR OF HONOLULU | ers white as snow, or blue as skies, or yellow as sunset, or starry as November nights, or red as battlefields. A heaven of flowers. Flowers intertwined in maidens' hair, and twisted around hats, and hung on necks, and embroidered on capes and sacks. Tuberoses, gardenias, magnolias, passifloras, trumpet creepers, oleanders, geraniums, convolvuli, fuchsia, hibiscus red as fire, jasmine, which we in America carefully coax to climb the wall just once, here running up and down and jumping over to the other side and coming back again to jump down this side. Night blooming cereus, so rare in our northern latitudes we call in our neighbors to see it, and they must come right away or never see it all, here in these islands scattering its opulence of perfume on all the nights and not able to expend enough in darkness also flooding the day. Struggling to surpass each other all kinds of trees, whether of fruit or of rich garniture, mango and orange and bamboo and alligator pear and umbrella trees and bread fruit and algabora and tamarine and all the South sea exotics. Rough cheek of pineapple against smooth cheek of melon, the tropics burning incense of aromatics to the high heavens. These islands are volcanic results. The volcanoes are giants living in the cellars of the earth and warming themselves by subterraneous fires, and when they come out to play they toss islands, and sometimes in their sport they sprinkle the sea with the Society islands, and then they toss up the Navigator islands, and then the Fiji islands, and then the Hawaiian Islands. They are Titans, and when they play quoits they pitch islands. When the earth finally goes, as go it will, while it will be a very serious matter to us, it will be only the work of volcanoes, which in their sport are apt to be careless with fire. While volcanoes are assigned to the destructive agencies, we see here what they do as architects. See here what they have builded. All up and down these islands are dead volcanoes. Rocked in the cradle of earthquake, they grew up to an active life and came to their last breath, and the mounds under which they sleep are decorated with tropical blooms. But the greatest living volcano of all the earth is Hawaiian and named Kilauea. What a hissing, bellowing, tumbling, roaring, thundering place is Kilauea! Lake of unquenchable fire! Convolutions and paroxysms of flame! Elements of nature in torture! Torridity and luridity! Congregation of dreads! Molten horrors! Sulphurous abysms! Swirling mystery of all time! Infinite turbulence! Chimney of perdition! Wallowing terrors! Fifteen acres of threat! Glooms insufferable and Dantesque!

Caldron stirred by the champion witch of pandemonium! Campfire of the armies of Diabolus! Wrath of the

mountains in full bloom! Shimmering incandescence! Pyrotechnics of the planet! Furnace blast of the ages--Ki-lauea!

Once upon a time all the geysers and boiling springs and volcanoes of the earth held a convention to elect a king, and Etna was there, and Hecla was there, and Stromboli was there, and Vesuvius was there, and Fusiyama was there, and Mauna Loa was there. The

discussion in this convention of volcanoes was heated. They all spouted impassioned sentiment. Some were candidates for the throne and crown because of one pre-eminence and others for other superiorities. But when it was put to vote by unanimous acclamation Kilauea was elected to be king of volcanoes. All the natural forces of the earth, all the vapors, all the earthquakes, all the hills, all the continents voted aye. And that night was the coronation. The throne was of lava. The scepter was of smoke. The coronet was of fire. And all the sublimities and grandeurs and solemnities of the earth kneeling at the foot of the burning throne cried out, "Long live Kilauea of the Hawaiians!" And a voice from heaven added mightiness to the scene as it declared, "He toucheth the hills, and they smoke." I must leave to my next letter the political aspects of the Hawaiian Islands, and the story of my visit to the president and the ex-queen, and my opinion of both of them. T. DE WITT TALMAGE.

The Fishing Girl.

An authority on sports says if you are on fishing bent when off on your summer vacation you must provide yourself with a linsey woolsey skirt, with knickerbockers to match. Every article of underwear must be woolen, and the boots must be hobnailed, as they will cling to the moss covered bowlders and logs. An easy Norfolk jacket overflowing with pockets, a chatelaine bag holding compass and fishing tackle, a soft felt crush hat, and the fisherwoman is prepared for all emergencies. If she only has the courage to bait her own hook and detach the wriggling fish, providing she catches them, she will do very well.

Thompson's Swell Dinner.

George Thompson, colored, hailing from St. Louis, was arrested yesterday for stealing a lot of sponges. He told Sergeant Peterman that he had nothing to eat for three days except some of the sponges he had stolen. He was without friends or money, and to save himself from starving had eaten the sponges and then filled up with water.--Phila-delphia Record.

Rev. Sarah M. Barnes.

Rev. Mrs. Sarah M. Barnes, pastor of the Universalist church at Junction City, Kan., was 70 years old on June 22, and the anniversary was celebrated

by her friends gathering at the church in the evening. There were choice gifts, good wishes, music, poems and all that makes a birthday a time of pleasant re-

membrance.
