Hawaii possesses one of the greatest natural wonders of the present day world a live volcano as high na Vesu vius and twice its diameter. Kilauea. on the island of Hawaii stands thirty miles from the sea In a mountain range in which are three dead volcanoes and one partially alive. This last, called Mauna Loa. from time to time sends streams of lava down Its slopes. In 1SS1 three streams buret forth from the sides of this mountain, and one of them came within three quarters of a mile of HIlo. the chief city of the Island. There have been several outbreaks of Kllanaa in the last hundred years. In 1840 there was a brilliant eruption of lava, 'til light of which. It was said, could becen a hundred miles away, while aite, dis tance of forty miles one could read print at midnight Where the lava flowed through the forest it has left curious relics In lava arches, bridges and great vases. Theso vases were formed by the lava piling Itself about some lofty tree trunk, burning away the wood within and killing the upper part of the tree. In the course of time seeds were deposit ed In the open top. fllled with decaying baric, until now there Is a gigantic lava rase, holding ferns and flowers and vines. Exchange. A Coin Worth Millions. Somewhere In the world possibly among the relics kept by some lover of the 'great Napoleon there Is a fortune, perhaps unsuspected. Among the coins Napoleon bad minted were some mil lions of Ave franc pieces, and he deter mined to popularize these In an ex traordinary way. In one of the coins, folded to a tiny size, was Inclosed a note signed by Napoleon and promis ing the sum of n.000.000 francs to the flnder of that particular coin. Nat urally everybody who changed a large piece demanded the new Qvo franc coins In exchange and. as a rule, prob ed and dug and sounded the metal in eager search for the bidden note. But the years went on. and yet the note did not appear. Napoleon's plighted word Is n sacred trust to tho French nation, and today the government stauds ready to pay the debt, whlcb. with Interest, is now worth many mil lions. London Answers. A Grand Rout It Is not always tho largest foe who can make the greatest disturbance and cause the most confusion. In bis nuntlng Grounds of the Great West" Richard Irving Dodge tells of n little Incident of the Mexican war which proves that It Is quality, not quantity, which is most effective. While General Taylor's Httlo army was marching from Corpus Chris tl to Mntamoras a soldier of the flank of the column fired at a bull. The animal charged, and the soldier, taking to bin heels, ran Into the column. The bull, undaunted by the number of the ene my, followed him headlong, scattering several reglmeuts like chaff, and Anally escaped unhurt, having demoralized and put to flight an army which a few days after covered itself with glory by victoriously encountering Ave times Its number of human enemies. Leigh Hunt's Grave. In the serene silence of Kensal Green cemetery, London. Leigh Hunt's body lies at rest. A visitor, reaching over the iron fence to part the fra grant shrubs that shadow tho tomb stone, reads these werds: "Write mo as one who loves bis fel low men." It was bis own cheerful philosophy of life that Leigh Hunt expressed through the lips of bis Abou Ben Ad hem. and tho sentiment is very touch lng come upon In this way. A Preliminary.

Bordered on the Grotesque In England In Queen Anne's Time. At the restoration wigs began to be more generally worn, and In Queen Anne's reign tbey became the most costly Item of gentlemen's wardrobes. Sir Richard Stifle's "full buttoned black, wig" cost SO guineas about 1255). and the fashion became so cum brous that Co! ley Clbber when play ing "The Fool of Fashion" to satirize the styles introduced n wig of flax so largo that It was brought on the stage In a sedan chair. As a mutter of fact, the stagecoach lines were compelled to restrict the length of wig boxes to three feet. John Taylor, one of the English mi nor poets, thus depicts the beards of his dayr Borne seem as they were starched and fine. JJke to tho bristles ot an angry swine.

In no part of tho world wero social distinctions more rigidly denned than in colonial Virginia. Tho founders of that colony stepped from the brilliant court of Elizabeth into the forests of Virginia. Tho lord-proprietor trans ported to his estate a little army of gentlemen and Indentured servants, and afterward came tho negro slave. Each formed a class apart from the others, and almost at onco there was created a quasi system of aristocracy. The proprietor obligated himself to protect his tenants from the Indians. Tbey In turn agreed to follow him to battle, precisely tho system inaugurat ed by William tho Conqueror for tho military defense of bis realm. His en vironment naturally bred certain hab its of command, fostered a capacity for directing the efforts of others and Im posed a sense of responsibility upon the planter for tho lives that were in his keeping. Above all else the planter Jealously guarded his rights as an English free man. When liberty languished In Eng land the Virginian sturdily resisted ev ery aggression of Voyal tyrants. One husband, one wife, one home, ono king, one God this was the planter's creed. But be reserved tbo right to renounco a monarch who violated tbo ancient compact between king and people. No other people numerically as unimpor tant as that group of Virginia settlers has given to humanity so many states men, soldiers, orators, patriots and phi losophers.
