Painless Burning.

"I have never been able to understand," said Dr. C. T. Glenarm of Denver, "why it is that the pain resulting from a burn with a redhot iron is so much greater than when the flesh is touched with an iron at a white heat, but I have seen the experiment demonstrated so many times that I know it to be a fact. Whenever it becomes necessary for me in my practice to cauterize

a wound I am always careful that the iron I apply shall be of an intense white

heat, and in the great majority of cases

the patient always said that there was

absolutely no pain felt, while if the

iron should simply have been redhot the effect would have been agonizing. This applies to animals as well as man.

I once saw a veterinary surgeon apply a white heated iron to the shoulder of a horse. The animal never winced under the operation and seemed hardly conscious of what was done to him."--St.

Louis Globe-Democrat.

Almost a Perfect Climate. The climate of the Sierra, although not so very pleasant on account of the winds, is extremely salubrious, the heat never becoming enervating, as it does not exceed 90 degrees F., while the nights are deliciously cool. Lung diseases are unknown, and the sanitary condition of the Sierra may perhaps be inferred from the reply of an old American doctor who lives in the now almost abandoned mining place, Guada-lupe-y-Calvo. When I asked him to give his experience as to the health of the people, he said: "Well, here in the mountains it is distressingly healthy, despite a complete defiance of every hygienic arrangement. With the graveyard, a tannery and the sewers at the river's edge, no diseases originate here."

A New Fad.

Certain society girls have carried with them constantly this season pretty little ivory covered notebooks with gold pencils attached by means of fine gold chains.

At any of the fashionable gatherings of the winter they would be occasionally discovered in all sorts of out of the way places hurriedly jotting down items that excited much curiosity as to their nature. Such secrecy was observed, however, that only recently have the true facts leaked out. Each book contains 365 pages--one for every day in the year --and under the proper date is neatly recorded every complimentary speech from the opposite sex received by the owner. If the girls compare notes, they will undoubtedly discover many duplicates, and many gallants will be at a loss to ac-

count for a sudden coolness on the part of some of their lady friends.--New York Times.

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 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.

A TWO SIDED CASE. DR. TALMAGE INVESTIGATES THE TROUBLE IN HAWAII. The American Traveler Also Enjoys the Hospitality of the Ex-Queen and the New President--The Wife of the Latter a Most Delightful and Talented Lady.

[Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1894.]

HONOLULU, June 18.--The chamber-

lain, come to invite us to the residence of the ex-queen, had suggested 11 o'clock that morning as the best hour for our visit. We approached the wide

open doors through a yard of palm trees and bananas and cocoanut, and amid flowers that dyed the yard with all the colors that a tropical sun can paint.

We were ushered into the royal lady's reception room, where, surrounded by a group of distinguished persons, she arose to greet us with a cordial grasp

of the hand. The pictures of her hardly convey an accurate idea of her dignity of bearing. She has all the ease of one born to high position. Her political mis-

[IMAGE: EX-QUEEN LILIUOKALANI.] fortunes seem in nowise to have saddened her. She spoke freely of the brightness of life to any one disposed to meet all obligations, and at my suggestion that we found in life chiefly what we look for, and if we look for flowers we find flowers, and if we look for thorns we find thorns, she remarked:

"I have found in the path of life chiefly flowers. I do not see how any one sur-

rounded by as many blessings as many of us possess could be so ungrateful as to complain." She said it was something to be remembered thankfully that for 50 years there was no revolution in the islands. She has full faith that the provisional government is only a temporary affair, and that she will again occupy the throne. She asked her servant to show me, as something I had not seen before, a royal adornment made up from the small bird with a large name--the Melithreptes pacifica. This bird, I had read, had under its wing a single feather of very exquisite color. The queen corrected my information by saying that it was not a single feather, but a tuft of feathers from under the wing of the bird from which the adornment was fashioned into a chain of beauty for the neck. She spoke of her visit to New York, but said that prolonged illness hindered her from seeing much of the city. She talked freely and intelligently on many subjects pertaining to the present and the future. I was delighted with her appearance and manner and do not believe one word of the wretched stuff that has been written concerning her immoralities. Defamation is so easy, and there is so much cynicism abroad, which would

rather believe evil than good, that it is not to be thought strange that this queen, like all the other rulers of the

earth, has been beaten with storms of obloquy and misrepresentation. George Washington was called by Tom Paine a lying impostor. Thomas Jefferson was

styled an infidel, and since those times we are said to have had in the United States presidency a bloodthirsty man,

a drunkard and at least two libertines, and if anybody in prominent place and effective work has escaped "let him speak, for him I have offended." After an exchange of autographs on that day in Honolulu we parted.

President Dole Greets His Guest.

At 1 o'clock Chief Justice Judd came to the hotel with his carriage to take us

to the mansion of President Dole. It was only a minute after our entrance when the president and his accomplish-

ed and brilliant lady appeared, with a cordiality of welcome that made us feel much at home. The president is a pronounced Christian man, deeply interested in all religious affairs as well as secular, his private life beyond criticism, honored by both political parties, tal-

ented, urbane, strong and fit for any position where conscientiousness and culture and downright earnestness are requisites.

It was to me a matter of surprise that at a time when politics are redhot in

the Hawaiian Islands, and President Dole is very positive in his opinions on

all subjects, I heard not one word of bitterness spoken against him. Hawai-

ians and foreigners alike are his eulo-

gists. When I referred to the tremen-

dous questions he and his associates had on hand, he said it was remarkable how many of the busy men of those is-

lands were willing to give so much of their time, free of all charge, to the

business of the new government and from what he believed to be patriotic and Christian motives. The president is a graduate of Williams college, Mas-

sachusetts, and when I asked him if his opinion of President Hopkins of that college was as elevated as that of

President Garfield he replied: Yes. I think, as Garfield did, that to sit on one end of a log, with President Hopkins on the other, and talk with him on literary matters would be something like a liberal education."

The president's wife is a charm of loveliness and is an artist withal. Her walls are partly decorated with her pencil. And, though under her protest, as though the room was unworthy of a visit, Chief Justice Judd took me to her

studio, where she passes much of her time in sketching and painting. The ride I took afterward with the president and Chief Justice Judd allowed me still other opportunity of forming an elevated opinion of the present head of the Hawaiian government. The cordiality with which we had been received by the present ruler and the former queen interested us more and more in the present condition and the future happiness of the Sandwich Islands.

Hearing Both Sides on Hawaiian Affairs.

Aware of the different ways of looking at things and [?] putting things, I resolved to get the story of Hawaiian affairs from opposite sides. We have always taken it for granted that 2 and 2 make 4, and yet 2 and 2 may be so placed as to make 22. The figure 9 is only the figure 6 turned upside down. There are not many things like the figure 8--the same whichever side is up. The different accounts I here present are reports from different standpoints. I had opportunity of earnest and prolonged conversation with a royalist, educate, truthful, of high moral character, born in these islands, and of great observation and experience. The fol-

lowing conversation took place between us:

Question--Do you think the ex-queen a good woman? Answer--I have seen the queen very often. I have been one of her advisors, and my wife has been with her much of the time from childhood and has seen her morning, noon and night under all circumstances, and neither of us has ever witnessed anything compromising in her character. She has made mistakes, as all make them, but she is fully up to the moral standard of the world's rulers. She is the impersonation of kindness, and neither my wife nor myself nor any one else has ever heard her say a word against any one. In that excellence she is pre-eminent. In proof of her good character I have to state the fact that there is not a household in Honolulu that did not feel honored by her presence. If she had been such a corrupt character as some correspondents have presented her, I do not think that the best men and women of the Hawaiian Islands would have sought her for guest and associate. Q.--Do you think she has been unjustly treated? A.--I do. She has been most infamously treated. While our island was at peace and with no excuse for interference the United States troops were landed. A group of men, backed up by the United States minister and troops, formed a cabinet and chose a president and sent a committee to the palace and told the queen to leave the place. It was another case of Naboth's vineyard. The simply fact is that there were men who wanted the palace, and the offices, and the salaries. From affluent position she was reduced in position until she had to mortgage the little left to her to pay commissioners to go to Washington and present her side of the case. As I said, she made mistakes, but she was willing to correct them and in a public manifesto declared she was willing to retrace her steps in the matter of the "new constitution." She had as much right to her throne as any ruler on earth has a right to a throne, but by sharp practice when she was unsuspecting the United States troops drove her from the palace, took possession of the armament and inaugurated a new government.

The Royalist View.

Q.--If the choices of royalty or annexation were put to the vote of the people, what do you think would be the decision?

A.--The queen's restoration by a majority of at least 10 to 1. We who are royalists are without exception in favor of leaving these matters to the ballot box. In the United States the majority governs, and the majority of the people in the Hawaiian Islands ought to have the same privilege of governing. [IMAGE: ROYAL PALACE.] Q.--Are the Hawaiians property owners or nomads? A.--They are property holders. They have their homes. They have a practical interest in public affairs. Moreover, they are for the most part intelligent. You can hardly find a Hawaiian born since 1840 who cannot read or write. Q.--What do you think is the most provoking item in the condition of your country? A.--It is that a professed friendly power has robbed us of our government. All the nations of the earth consider that your nation has done us a wrong.

Q.--Taking conditions are they now are, what do you think had better be done, or is that a hemispheric conundrum?

A.--It is a hemispheric conundrum. Our queen is dethroned, and her palace and her military forces are in the possession of her enemies. While I cannot see any way in which the wrong can be righted, she has such faith in the final triumph of justice that she expects to resume her throne. Her estate as well as her crown taken from her, she deserves the sympathy of the whole world. I believe in republics for some lands and monarchies for others. One style of government will not do for all styles of people. A republic is best for the United States, a monarchy for the Hawaiian Islands.

Thus ended my conversation with the royalist.

The Republican Side of the Case. But I also had the opportunity of learning the other side of this question from a spirited, patriotic and honest annexationist, and I asked much the same questions that I had asked the royalist. The following conversation between the annexationists and myself took place: Q.--Do you think the queen is fit to reign? A.--No! By her signing of the opium license and the bill for the Louisiana lottery and by other acts she proved herself unfit to govern.

Q.--Do you think that the present controversy would be relieved if the question in dispute were left to the votes of all the people on the island?

A.--No! The Chinese, the Japanese and the Portuguese would join with the natives and vote down the best interests of the Hawaiian Islands.

Q.--What do you think of the present attitude of the United States government with respect to the Sandwich Islands?

A.--Most unfortunate. We are waiting for change of administration at Washington. Mr. Cleveland has unwisely handled our affairs. We want an administration at Washington which will favor an annexation, and your next presidential election may settle our island affairs and settle them in the right way. Q.--What is the present feeling between royalists and those in favor of the provisional government? A.--Very bitter and becoming more and more dangerous, and great prudence and wisdom will have to be employed or there will be bloodshed. Thus ended my conversation with the annexationist.

As I said in previous letter, without taking the side either of royalist or annexationist, the Hawaiian Islands will yet be a republic in itself. What an

amazing thing that, after all the trouble the United States government has had with the Chinese population now within our borders, trying this and that legislation to suit their case, any American statesman should propose by the annexation of the Sandwich Islands to add to our population the 22,000 Chinese and the 12,000 Japanese now living in those islands! If we want this addition of 34,000 Chinese and Japa-

nese, had we not better import them fresh from China and Japan?

From what I have seen and heard in this my journey I have come to the conclusion that it will be a dire day when the American government hopelessly mixes itself up with Hawaiian affairs. It would be disaster to them and perplexity and useless expense to ourselves. "Hands off!" and "Mind your own business!" are in this case sentiments that had better be observed by English, German and American gov-ernments.--T. DE WITT TALMAGE.

Some Wonderful People. In a rare old copy of "The Travels of Sir John Mandeville," edition of 1597, I find the following concerning the wonderful people which he met with in the distant parts of the earth, especially in the various islands, which he calls "yles:" "In another yie are men that have no heads, and their mouth is between their shoulders, and in ye same yle are men with thyr mouth behind on thyr shoulders. And yet in another yle are foule men that have the lippes about the mouth so greate that when they sleepe in the sonne they cover thyr face with thyr lippe. And in another yle are wilde men withe eares hanging on thyr shoulders. And in the same yle men with hanging eares and feet like an hors and they runne faste and they take wild beastes and eat them. And in another country are men that go on thyr handes and feete lyke beastes and are all rough, and will leape upon trees like catts and apes, and others in the same yle go upon their knees marvaylosly, and have upon every fote VIII Toes."--St. Louis Republic.

Wonderful. In the winter of 1893 the water running down a hill near Barnsbore, [?] Wis., was frozen, James Jackson, the owner of the land, was much surprised one morning to see a black headed drake coasting down the incline. J[?], who is very thin, hid himself behind a sapling and waited. Presently he saw seven ducks fly to the top of the hill and go sliding down after the drake. They repeated this 20 times, all the while quacking with delight.--New York Mail and Express.
