Htortu at Honolulu.
Honolulu, Feb. 22. One of the most
severe storms ever experienced In Hono
lulu took place on the morning of the
12th. The wind developed into a hur
ricane, and the rain citne down in tor
rents. Thunder was terrific and light
ning followed in quick succession. The
storm reached its height at about 4 a.
m., when the velocity of the wiud was
over fifty miles an hour. Considerable
damage was done generally.
How to Look Oooil.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have a bilious look ;
if your kidneys be ellected, you have ,1
pinched look. Secure good health and

HOMES OF RIVER PIRATES.
Cnve In the Mountain Side Arc Watched
with Awo by lAtiiKolioreinen.
Along the west shore of the Hudson
river, between West I'oint nnd Esopus,
according to the New York World,
there are several sidehill openings that
are supposed to lead into big recesses
not yet explored. Daring men have
mnde the attempt to discover the inte
rior, but have been frightened Into a re
treat by all sorts of imaginings.
At Marlborough, Highland and in the
famous Storm King mountain, at Corn
wall, these rocky openings are watched
by longshoremen, who have reason to
believe that valuable property is con
tained therein.
A Cornwall fisherman says he be
lieves that one of these caves, near the
foot of Storm King, is the rendezvous
of a gang of New York thieves, who re
ceive nnd dispose of their ill-gotten
stock on a strict mercantile basis. He
remembers that abont the 1st of April
he and his father saw a small boat, in
which were four men, putashorc at this
point. It was an inky black night, and
it was not safe for small craft in the
wind-tossed water of Cornwall bay.
The fisherman watched the landing
and saw the company, who were dis
tinguished by thelacterns they carried,
work their way up the mountain side.
About twenty minutes after the landing
the lights were lost sight of at a point
about one hundred feet from the
water's edge.
The supposition is that these men
entered one of those mercantile caves
to make ready for the year's business.
No one has ventured near the pkice,
although several hunters say that there
is an opening at the spot designated by
the Cornwall man. It is believed that
this cave is the main resort of river
pirates and robbers, who plunder in
the Hudson river valley, and if so
there is considerable danger attending
a visitation to the locality.
This site is particularly lonely and
deserted. It can be located by passen
gers on the day boats as they are pass
ing. It is about three hundred feet
west of the place where an attempt
has been made to quarry stone for
crushing, and to reach it one must run
the risk of being bitten by the most
poisonous snakes.

Great Care Taken in Preparing; the Sim
ple Food.
Cooking being an art, every race has
a style of its own. The Malagasy, like
the gentle Hindu, knows how to pre
pare his mess of rice, says the London
Telegraph. It is not boiled to a mash
as in England, or as our potatoes are
sometimes pulped, but, covered with a
proper sullieieucy of water, is carefully
treated until the grains are swollen fit
to burst and yet remain full, intact,
soft and rather mealy. The manioc
root is an easier dish to prepare. It is
sometimes served boiled, as yams and
sweet potatoes, and again as a sort of
cold porridge. Native coffe" they un
derstand how to make, and the aroma
is excellent; but tea, alas! you have to
look to the brewing of that from start
to finish if you desire a drinkable cup.
Poultry and game are eaten fresh, and
the cooks have a clever and withal
cleanly trick of dipping the dead ani
mals in boiling water, which enables
then to pluck them easily and quickly.
The preparation for trussing comes
later. There is no lack of variety at a
Malagasy table, but, all the same, you
miss the wheaten Hour bread, sugar
and condiments when cloyed with rice,
fowls, manioc and eggs. The staple
fuel is bunch grass, which when dried
burns fiercely, and settles into a glow
ing ember that gives off a deal of heat.
All the cooking is done on earthen
hearths, and the roasting, boiling and
baking in big iron pots. The grass be-
, ing slightly aromatic, the odor is as
agreeable as that of a hardwood fire,
