Highest of all in Leavening Power.- Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE HAWAII, THE BEAUTIFUL... The cocoa, with its oreat of spears, Utands sentry round the crescent shore; The alge. jba, bent with years, Keeps watch beside the lanai door; The cool wind fans the mango's cheek; , The mynah flits from tree to tree, And zephyrs to the roses speak Their sweetest words at Waikiki. Like truant children of the deep Escaped behind a coral wall, . -The lisping wavelets laugh and leap Nor heed old ocean's stern recall. All day they frolio with the sands, Kiss pink lipped shells in wanton glee, Make windrows with their patting hands And, singing, sleep at Waikiki. O Waikiki I O soene of peace! . ' r'-v O home of beauty and of dreams) No haven in the isle of Greece Can chord the harp to sweeter themes. For houris haunt the broad lanais. While scented zephyrs oool the lea, And looking down from sunset skies The angels smile on Waikiki. - Bollin M. Daggett ',. A Disputed Discovery. - . . . The man does not live, perhaps, who has the least idea of the name of the discoverer of the properties and ingredi ents of gunpowder, or who cm tell within 500 or 1,000 years the date of its disoovery. I have recently read both Bides of the gunpowder controversy as it has appeared 'in a New York daily (where one writer : argues that the dis ooverer was Roger Bacon, while the other declares that history supports the assertion that Michael Schwartz, a Ger man monk, deserves the praise). It ap- pears to me that the controversy in ref erence to Bacon versus Schwartz 1b of secondary importance, especially when it is known that it was in use hundreds of years before the birth of either. 's v k Eziha has compiled a long chrono logical history of this useful explosive, of whioh the following is an abridge ment: Julius Afrioanus (215 A. D.) gives a splendid formula for the preparation of gunpowder. ' ' In the year 690, when the Arabs bom barded Mecca, they used firearms. A Greek manuscript by Marcus Grac chus?, which is now in the Oxford (Eng land) museum, gives anexoellent recipe for gunpowder. . -,.'' In 880 Leo, the philosopher, made "fire rockets" for the use of the army in the east In 1073 King Solomon of Hungary bombarded Belgrade with oannons. In 1283 the Tartars employed "fire pipes and balls" in their war with CM- All the above ooourred from one to ten centuries before either Bacon or Schwartz was born. St Louis Repub lic. " ' An Important Item In Murder Cases. Whether : the blood 'stains found on the hands and garments of suspected murderers are those Of the victim or of some animal has for many years been a mOst diffioult question to deoide. The presenoe of the sanguinary fluid forms a very strong bit of oiroumstantial evi dence, but no expert has until recently been able to swear positively that the stains were' made' by the blood of a hu man being. Dr. Cyrus Edson has often Deen oaiiea as an expert in uiuruei cubub, but with a deep sense of the importance of his decision has many times refused to testify that it was blood of a human being which he was required to exam ine. Recently, however, he has made an important discovery, and one whioh definitely fixes the action of experts in the future. By magnifying blood cor puscles and . throwing them upon af screen with a magio lantern the form, oonsistenoy and other peouliaiities of blood are clearly established, and it is shown that blood drawn from the veins of a human being is entirely unlike that of any other creature. The importance of this disoovery may be realized when it is known that within one single year at loast 1 5 cases have occurred in which the identification of human blood was necessary in order to establish the guilt of the suspected party. New York Ledger. . V - , -7" . A Quarrel by Cable.. .-'., The cable was once the medium for a lovers' quarrel, whioh took place be tween a lady in New York and a gen tleman in France. - The heroine was no other than that divine Frenoh artiste whose genius we all admire. The gen tleman was a dramatio author, now no more. This curious quarrel took place one Sunday, . the cable being joined through direct It bristled with passion ate reproaches, bitter, stinging sarcasms, couched in pioturesque French. The soene was intensely dramatic. Both the aotors, so near and yet so far, trembled with jealous passion as their bitter sar casms were flashed through the coils pf this gigantio sea serpent Mutual com plaints, reproaches and threats contin ued, until a last stinging saroasm from France reduced the excitable artiste to a state of nervous excitement which Cul minated in hysterics. The cable was then restored to its normal condition and the artiste to her senses. London Standard. ' A Dream and Its Fulfillment. A, young man living in Florence dreamed that he .had been bitten and mortally wounded by the marble lion whioh stood with open jaws in front of a certain ' church. Walking past the church with a few friends on the fol lowing day he told them of his dream and placed his hand in the lion's mouth, with the words, "Now bite me." At that very instant he felt a violent pain, for a scorpion that lay conoealed in the lion's jaws, had stung him so severely that he died in a few hours. Secolo. . '. ; looked! - An actor, while playing in small village, was representing the part of a persecuted guardian of an orphan heir. Of course the pursuers are on his track bent on killing him in order to secure the inheritance. For a long time he es capes. At length he is seized and thrown into a room the three doors of which are then locked and bolted. On recov ering himself he runs to one door and shakes it. "Locked I" He then runs to the second. " Locked 1" He runs to the third, whioh opens readily at the first effort. The actor shuts it again, with a bang, and exclaims in a tone of yet deeper despair, "Locked !" Thundering applause.

The Power of Poesy. r : Clarence Fitz Eustace was a poet. He was also in love.. The girl's name was Maud Montmorency and her father was a wealthy butcher. She returned Clar ence's love, but her stern male parent was opposed to the matoh. So Clarence pined. He also wrote "poems. " One night Clarence plucked up cour age and called at the aristocratic Mur ray Hill mansion wherein Maud resided. He rang the doorbell and wiped his feet Then he was ushered into the proud butcher's presence. "Sir,", he said, bowing low, "I lov your daughter and would fain make her my wife. " Old Montmorency was impressed by the young man's originality. "Pro ceed," he said. "But first tell me what are your prospects?" , "Prospects?" replied the youth promptly.. "I have great prospects, since Ihope to muiry your daughter. Oh, sir,"' he continued eagerly,"I know I could make her happy. I have studied her beautiful nature carefully, and I am sure she would rejoice at the opportu nity of taking care of a poor, orphan husband. ' Listen, sir I" - Here he drew forth a manuscript. "Permit me to read a little thing of my own. I'm a poet, sir, and can best express myself in num bers. " Then he read as follows : A prey to love my spirit pines The while I write these "tenderloins" To one so dear that for her sake I'd place my very soul at "steak," ' ' Or else my life I'd gladly give her, Yet what is life to such a "liver?" The poet paused. The erstwhile ob durate male parent was visibly affected. Tears stood iu his eyes. The verses had conquered and the maid was won. New York World. Thought He Was Beecher. When Henry .Ward Beecher was at the height of his career, there were 'a few men who resembled him near enough to be able to duplicate him in public Among these was Judge of Buffalo, who sometimes found the likeness a source of annoyance. At one time the judge was traveling with a party of ladies who were under his care. He gallantly ascribed the attention he received to them, but on an occasion when be retired to the smoking car the riddle was solved. . The moment he left the parlor car a Couple of strange men hurried in, and after apologizing to the ladies for the intrusion asked very ear nestly if the gentleman in their company were not Mr. Beeoher. Upon being as sured that he was not, one man turned to the other, and handing him a roll of bills said: r ''Take them; you've won." ' Then, turning to the ladies, he explained, "I bet 1 100 that your friend was Mr. Beeoher, and I've lost. " And he fol lowed his companion from the oar. The judge laughed heartily when told of the incident and said it was not the first time that another man's greatness had been thrust upon him. Detroit Free Press. Could Recommend Them AH.

Silver Kins Newlands of Nevada May Boy a Dukedom In Italy. There has been a number of slightly shopworn dukedoms on the world's bar gain counter ol late, and an American bid of about $10,000, 000 has resulted in the" quick sale of one of them. Another which is offered on the in stallment plan at the low figure of $1,000,000 has proved a slow seller and is still F. G. newlands. ou the counter, but it is said that Francis G. Kewlands, the millionaire congressman at large of Nevada, is seriously thinking of becom ing a .purchaser. This dukedom carries with it a large estate in middle Italy, near the holdings of the Duke of . Tuscany, and the present duke has become so weary of wearing his coronet that he is perfectly willing to exchange it for a plain American straw hat providing said hat has a cool million of" dollars tucked away inside the band. The dukedom is offered for sale on the bargain counter of Andrew Sbarbaro and General W. H. L. Barnes of San Francisco, and it is said that Newlands is going to Italy to look the goods over before he makes his decision. If Newlands becomes a duke, Nevada Will probably lose the only congressman she possesses. He is a native of Natchez, Miss., and was born Aug. 28, 1848. He entered the class of '07 at Yale and re mained in the university until the mid dle of his junior year. Strongly attracted toward the law, Newlands removed to Washington, where he attended the Co lumbian College Law school and was admitted to the bar of the supreme court of the District of Columbia. He then be gan the practice of his profession in San Francisco and was soon one of the prominent legal luminaries of the city. . In 1886 he became a trustee of the es tate of William Sharon, formerly United States senator from Nevada, and two years later removed to Nevada, where he actively engaged in the silver agita tion and was for years vice chairman of the national silver committee. ' In 1892 he was elected to congress by the silver party. He is closely affiliated with Sen ator Stewart of Nevada in business as well as politics and owns a great deal of railroad and mining stock and real estate. FRANCE'S FOREMOST WOMAN. Nme. Adam, Her Famous Salon and Her -; Influence In Literature and Politics. The foremost woman of France is un doubtedly Mme. Adam, who founded that influential magazine, La Nouvelle Revue, writes all the heavy foreign po litical articles herself and has a salon that is famous the world over because of the eminent politicians, statesmen, artists, sculptors, literary men, journal- . MME. ADAM. ists and financiers who frequent it. Like a great ,-many other literary . women, Mme. 'Adam, the modern Mme. de Stael of France, turned her attention to literature, because her first matrimonial venture proved unhappy. Her first book was, written when she was but 21 and was a protest against an attack made upon George Sand and Daniel' Stern, two French women novelists who had for years been Mme. Adam's ideals of all that was noble and good. Her maiden name was Juliette Lam ber, and her salon is located on a street named in her honor, the Rue Juliette Lamber. She is the daughter of a coun try doctor and was born at Verberie, in Picardy, France, about 57 years ago. When a mere child, she displayed an unusual taste for letters and politics, and upon her second marriage to M. Adam, the wealthy senator and republic an politician, soon achieved fame in Paris, because her salon was the head quarters for Gambetta and the chief re publican leaders during the stormy days of MacMahon's presidency. About this time she founded La Nouvelle Revue, which was designed to be the republican rival of the old Revue des Deux Mondes, and which she has since made such a notable publication. Despite the fact that she is 57 years of age and a grandmother, Mme. Adam is still a handsome woman, with a fresh complexion, gray hair, shrewd gray blue eyes and a stately figure. She dresses with elegance and taste, and her favor ite color is black. In these quiet times in France she is as devoted to literature, art and society as she was to political plots and counterplots in the days of Gambetta and MacMahon. Her salon is situated in the same building as La Nouvelle Revue office, but has a differ ent entrance.' Mme. Adam is much in terested in the American woman's ad vancement . "It is what I hear of her progress that keeps my heart up, " she says. "Here in France we Frenchwom en are watching the American woman and waiting. ...

He Says That His Doctor and Friends Had Given Him Up His Ml- ' ... .raculous Cure. From the Colorado Farmer, Denver, Colo. David S. Green, who is past middle life, a man of fine physique, strong, vigorous and buoyant, . went to Colo rado in 1860 and now resides at 2127 Grant avenue, Denver. . He is well known in Colorado and Indian Terri tory as a cattleman, and is also known in Colorado mining circles by "old timers." He is a member of Trinity M. E. church " of this oity and well known in Methodist circles, and a fa miliar figure on the streets of Denver. He is a gentleman of intelligence and culture, communicative and affable. On the first day of February, 1898, Mr. Green received a serious injury to the spine, occasioned by slipping while supporting a heavy .weight. The in jury was Very painful, and in a few days he was helpless. ' Through the long months of suffering that followed he was reduced in strength and flesh until his nervous system was well nigh exhausted; he was brought to the bor der land of paralysis. His entire right side was threatened with this malady. The spinal column and base of the brain were a battery of pain and tor ture, and naught was left him but to suffer on and wait for the end.' While in this condition and utterly hopeless of help (as his physician and the best medical counsel proved power less), his attention was providentially called to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. As a drowning man clutches at a straw so he caught at Pink Pills and immedi ately began to improve. He oom menoed their use about the middle of March last, and today his pains are nearly gone, and all the alarming symp toms of paralysis have disappeared and the original injury is, rapidly improv ing. - His general health and flesh are returning, his usual elasticity of spirit and vivaoity are restored, and an hour's conversation is sufficient to convince one that to Pink Pills is due a change almost miraculous. In conversation with a representa tive of the Farmer, Mr. Green said: "I have not been on the street for sev enteen months till two or three days ago, but I am so much better. - It is a surprise to me and to my friends, yes, and to my doctor too. The fact is I have been at death's door. No one thought there was any help for me; even my doctor thought I never would be any better 1 But here I am walking about as you see, and to me it is won derful! and perhaps you will hardly believe me when I tell you what did it it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." It is due to suffering humanity that the story of Mr. Green be told.- His kindness of heart and generous im pulses would rejoice in spreading the fame of a remedy that has brought him from the valley of death to enjoy the pleasures of a loving home. v His physician is a gentleman ' well known in Denver, has lived here many years and built up a good praotioe. He is broad-minded and in good standing in the best medical circles in the city. Anyone wishing to do so, can readily satisfy himself as to the facts herein related. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are sold in boxes (never in loose form, , by the dozen or hundred) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists or directly by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Soheneo tady, N.
