SATURDAY, FEB. i, 1893.
HAWAII is pronounced Haw-i ee by those who seem to know.
DEMOCRATS are hard to please. In 1384 they worried themselves over the eur-.luB in the treasury. They are nowworrying over an alleged defioit.
THE Evanaville Insane Hospital is in the throes ot a scandal of formidable dimensions. Of course it will be investigated and of course it will be whitewashed.
THE pronunciation of the deposed Hawaiian Queen's name is a simple matter if ons remembers to give the "u" the value of "w." It then sounds like "Lee-lee-wokalan nay."
STATESMAN MCALISTEB'S bill to abolish township institutes has been killed in the Honse by striking out the enacting clause. It can be safely asserted that the statesman from Franklin is "agin eddication."
SENATOR MCHCGH'S bill making the times of all officers in cities four years and extending the times ol those now in ofliee until after the election in 1894,has passed the Senate, and is being run through the House at railroad speed. It is now on its sesond reading and the indications are that it will go through with a whoop.
TIIE bill of Bepresentative Thornton, of Clay, providing that the time of holding township elections shall be changed from April to November, on the same date as the general elections, has been engrossad in the House, and stands a fair show of becoming a law. This will abolish spring elections and will be in line with the retrenchment idea.
THE Supreme Court has affirmed the validity of the tax law, a case taken up by the Big Four Railroad in which the right of a county treasurer to collect State and county taxes was involved. The Supreme Court wab unanimous in its opinions which held the law to te constitutional. The railroads must thi retore pay their taxes on the valnation made by the State Boarl of Tax Cnmmissionprs.
IT has been discovered that the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction is not included in the constitutional amendment to make the terms of ail State officen four years. The General Assembly of two years ago seemed to believe that the office of public instruction is not a constitutional office. The omission will necessitate the holding over for three years more the amendment mentioned. This will be a costly blunder.
THE judicial apportionment bill as reported by the committee on the organization ot courts, in this Senate, reduces the-number of circuits from fiftyfive, as they stand at present, to fortyseven. By this bill Montgomery county ij made a circuit alone. This is an improvement over the proposition to place Montgomery and Fountain together. Senator Seller heard from the Montgomery county bar. It is to be noticed, however, that Republican Senators did net fare so well.
THE refusal of either the Senate or the House to modify or amend the Fee and Salary law leads the public to believe that there is a gentleman ot color in the fuel. heap. It is surmised that as soon as the Legislature adjourns the law will be attacked in the courts and it ii expected that the Supreme Court will knock a hole in it large enough for a load of hay to pass through. In that event the officers will work under the old law with all of its fat pickings. The present law IB SO inequitable and unjust that no blame can attach to the officers. The responsibility must rest on the last Legislature for making such an odious law, and be shared by the present Legislature in its refusal to make the projer amendments so that it would be fair to the officers and stand the test of the courts.

How It IVas Determined riijsioiogUt. A scientific journal of high repute is authority for the statement that Prof. Masso, the lioman physiologist, has invented a machine that will actually give the weight of a thought. To quote from the account mentioned. Prof. Masso showed by experiment that the effort of thinking causes a rush of blood to the brain, this blood-rush varying In intensity according to the thought. lie placed a man in the machine. which was so delicately balanced that the rush of blood turned the t.cale. The professor says that when the subject is sleeping the thoughta or visions which come to him in his dreams are sufficient to cause the head to sink below the feet, and that the eame takes place when the subject is disturbed by a slight sound. lie further declares that the balanee will indicate when a person is reading Italian and when Greek, the greater mental exertion required for Greek producing a more profuse rush of blood to he head.

A Pioneer Woman Suffrage Advocate. Lucy Stone, the pioneer advocate ol woman suffrage and its attendant reforms, is still living at Dorchester,
Mass., in firm health and excellent preservation at the age of sev-enty-four. She is, as she always has been, a gentle mannered and soft spoken lady —the exact opposite of that distortion which was formerly put on the stage to represent the "strong minded woman."
I.TCY STONE.
In 1SO5 she married Henry B. Blackwell by a contract which authorized her to retain her maiden name, and he is still with her. Their married life has been an unusually liappy one.
A Hero.
He is a hero who when sorely tried Hath yet a tlrm control O'er all his passions as tliey strongly rise
To battle with his soul.
The silent battle which tbo spirit fights. Warring against desires Unholy and impure, if right shall win
To higher good inspires.
The soul that crucifies an evil thought. That keeps a guarded gate Of Christian love and brotherly good will
Between his soul and hate,
Shall stand, in all. his manliness aud worth, As mightier than he Who takes a city in his strength aud pride
Or boasteth ruuutingly.
The shield of purify when nobly worn,-.. Where faith has been confessed, Is stronger thau the canning coat of mail
I'pon a warrior breast.
He ia a hero who to truth true,'• Though lowly and obscure. Long after earthly honors fade away .. .Hid triumphs shall endure.

HE WAS KIND.
A X'iftakltigr Story About the I.nte Secretary Wlndom. Speaking of the cabinet officers who gathered around Mr. Harrison's table at the beginning of liis administration brings to mind the late Secretary W'indom. lie was a kind and affable gen tleman, and his sudden death was shouK to the country at large and cause of grief to those who enjoyed his acquaintance, says a writer in the Washington Evening News.
I remember an incident which showed his kindness of heart and the unosten tatious qualities inherent in the truly great.
It was an insufferably hot day in the August preceding his death, and the sun glared with blind force on the concrete of the open spacc between tho west entrance of the treasury and the white house.
On the curb of the fountain basin a half grown sparrow was making fruitless efforts to get a drink of cool water which bubbled tantalizingly just beyond its rcacli. Finally it leaned a little too far, and, losing its balance, fell overboard.
Its struggles were taking it toward the center of the basin and beyond rescue. I reached out my open umbrella, and just as I was drawing him in I felt a baud on my shoulder and hearty voice said: "Well done! I'll see that you have a life-saving medal for that."
It was Mr. Windom. lie was on his way to a cabinet meeting, but the af fairs of state and the country's finance had to wait while he assisted at the rescue of the half-drowned bird. lie took thebedraggledlittle creature in his hand, and after smoothing its plumage laid it on the sunny terrace out of harm's way to dry. Then, inviting me to share his big green sun shade, we walked on to the white house.
GERMAN RUDENESS.
A
Noted Doctor on the t'ncliWalrlo Con duct of IIli Countrymen* Louise von Kobell, who is Frau von Eisenhart, has written a book of "Con-
versations of Dr. Dollinger," lately translated into English, from which the Daily News of London has taken extracts. Driven into an inn by a shower in one of their walks, he was greatly annoyed by the conduct of some young men, who swore at the weather, smoked and called impatiently for beer. "Tobacco and alcohol are demoniacal powers," said Dolling-er, half in jest and half in earnest. "Smokers are barbarians. The eternal smoking of pipes and cigars by our forefathers doubtless helped to bring about the short sight which has now become hereditary in Germany. Tobacco smoking is the ruin of society and of chivalrous, conduct toward women."
Talking of the German love of public houses, he said: "When I compare our young men with young Englishmen what a difference I findl How many spectacle-wearing, weakly, uncouth, mannerless youngsters I see here, while it is a real pleasure only to look at tlie boys and students in England, so vigorous, healthy, well grown, clean and dis-tinguished-looking in their attractive college dress."
At another time he said that if he were a legislator the first law he would introduce in Germany would be. one for the protection of young girls. England and America were, he said, in advance of Germany in the treatment of women. "For instance," he added, "I hardly think that an educated Englishman would allow his wife to fetch him his boots, slippers, cigars and newspapers, as do so many of our countrymen."
TURKEY HUNTING IN ARIZONA.
The Gre:n Slaughter Juat. Before Thanksgiving Day. The Arizona bill of fare is too apt to contain only the items bacon, beans, hard bread, flapjacks and coffee three hundred and sixty-four days in the year. Thanksgiving is the exception, and no dinner is complete on that day without a turkey to remind the miner, prospector or ranchman of the old home in the east. In the southeastern section of the territory there is a creek called Rio Prieto, and nicknamed the "Turkey river." It is the only place within about two hundred miles where wild turkeys abound, but then there are enough of them in the narrow valley to stock a state. .lust, before Thanksgiving this valley is filled with hunters from every part of the territory, aud the slaughter is very great but it takes place only once a year, and the ranks will be filled up next spring and summer. Some of the hunters come so far that they have to make "jerky" of the turkey meat in order to get it home. Aminer must be very fond of turkey when he will travel one hundred miles for it, and then take it in the shape of salted and sun-dried strips and shreds, and usually fried in a gravy of bacon, grease and flour.
These turkeys are very large birds, as half a dozen are about as much as a pack-mule can carry out of the valley. Old-timers say that gobblers weighing thirty pounds have been taken out of the Prieto canyon.
Prussic AcUl and Pencil Sto:ie8. The statement was made recently that priissic acid was made from peach stones, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat. This is altogether a mistake, for, although under certain conditions a trace of the main principle of the deadly poison can be found in peach stones, there is not sufficient to produce the acid without other essential ingredients. Indeed, without the process of fermentation, there is no evidence at all of prussic acid in the stones. Prussic acid is composed of such things as animal refuse and blood solids, with large quantities of oil of vitriol. Even the smell of the acid produces pain in the throat and in the region of the heart, and there are few poisons for which there is such little opportunity for au antidote. If there is time, and there seldom is. for the poison is almost instantaneous in its action, ammonia inhaled very freely may give relief and reduce the absolute certainty of death to a grave possibility.

Nothing auds so much to the beauty of a fair girl, as a clear, bright, healthy complexion, and to sccoro this pure blood is in dispensable. So many of the so-called llood purifiers sold to improve a rough, pimply, muddy skin, only drive the pr.rofulous humors Irom the surface to somt1 internal vital organ, and disease and deatl is the inevitable result. On the contrary, Dt\ Pierce's Golden Medical DiKOOverv strikes directly at the root of the evil, by driving the impurities entirely out of the system, and with a fresh stroam of nun* blood flowing through the vtins, nothing but the softest and fairest of complexion* can result.
