Three Grand Tours Honolulu.
Honolulu, Hawaiian isia^ds, about whicb so much has been wrtten, has been aptly termed the "Paradisa of the Pacific," and the title is well deserved, for aside from its magnificent scenery its wonderful volcano, Kilauo, and its interesting inhabitants, its climate is unrivaled, and offers a most delightful change to the residence of the eastern and middle states who desire to escape the rigors of a northern winter.
The attractions and advautagas of these beautiful islands are brought within easy reach by the series of excursions which have been inaugurated by the North Western Line, which leaves Chicago at 6 p. m., January 15, February 10 and March 5, reaching San Francisco on the evening of the thira day after departure from Chicago. Steamers of the Oceanic S. S. Company leave San Francisco January 21, February 15 and March 10,' and it will be observed, therefore, that those who join these excursions will be afforded ampJe time to view the many attractions of the principal city of the Pacific coast and its beautiful surroundings.
Excursion tickets, good for nine months will be sold at rate of $225 for the round trip from Chicago to Honolulu and retarn and this price includes state room and meals on steamers in both directions.
The entire trip from Chicaga to Honolulu is made in only nine days, and these excursions, which are strictly first class in all respects, offer an exceptionally favorable opportunity for visiting these beautiful islands at very reasonable expense.
Detailed information will be furnished upon application to W. B. Kniskern, General Passenger and Ticket Agent Chicago 5S North Western R'y, Chicago.

AN EXCELLENT PAPER
PKGPARED AND READ BY MRS. NELLIE S. HARNETT.
Before tlie Greenfield Woman's Clnb January 13th 1896. A Practical Lesson from a Book ot the Tear,
When searching for a book from which to draw a lesson I thought that as I had three religious subjects I would select this time something light and attractive and on looking ever the index of "Lileth" by Geo. McDonald, it read likera fascinat ing romance. It proved truly fascinating enough but instead of being a light romance it dealt with the most occult mysteries and metaphysical questions, but it contained so many beautiful thoughts that I waived my former objec tionand drew a lesson from it. But I think that when I am through with this year's work I shall be entitled to be chaplain of the club. I shall not review the book but touch here and there enough to bring out the lesson which I wish to draw from it.
The book treats of the adventures of Mr. Vane, a young student who haviug spent most of his life in schools and colleges returns to his ancestral home and finds it hauuted by an old man who served as librarian in the time of an ancestor old Sir Upward. The librarian had directed many of his studies. One day they both disappeared and were never seen again in this life. The form of the old librarian often passed through the house but never disturbed anything but the books After seeing the old ge ltleman several times Mr. Vane followed him up stairs one day, and lostsijihr of him upon the third flight. Mr. Vane entered a garret and saw a tall mirror with an ebony frame with an eagle perched on the top looking closer he received that it did not reflect anything in the room or his own person,on stepping nearer the sunbeam revealed a flat moorland, low hills and forests On taking another step forward to examine it more closely as he stumbled over the frame he saw a raven hopping toward him, he took another step and found himself in the open air a wide heath behind and before him. He had entered another world. The raven become very sociable and propounded some deep questions to Mr. Vane. The principal thought veas that he had opened a door out instead of oneopeuingiu as he'had been accustomed to do,and that Mr. Vane was not at home but must try to get home, home was where he could freely go in and out. He said that our world was a half baked sort of a place at once so childish and self-satis-fied, not sufficiently developed for an old raven. As he walked away he revealed the form of an old man. Mr. Vane followed him towards a forest where he saw a bright light between two trees, on attempting to pass through it he stumbled and fell. When he arose he was in his garret alone. The next time that he visited this invisible regionthe raven who called himself the stxton of the universe led him to his cottage where his wife entertained him hosp'tably and when he wished to sleep they led him into a large cemetery. This seemed to fill the universe, it reached so far. Forms were lyirg on couches above the ground, in the moonlight, which preserved the bodies so that they did not decay. They were cold and stiff, but a peaceful and calm expression was on their faces. He said it was not death but he had no other name for it. There were no infants here but some were children. The longer they slept the more peacsful they looked and themore dead they became the nearer living they were, Some that laid here arose and went, on to a higher existence never to return. The nearer dead people had been in this world the shorter time they slept in the cemetery before rising to pass on. After passing along many aisles between the couches of the peaceful sleepers they led him to a vacant couch by the side of a beautiful woman, on the other side laid a stalwart man. They were pale and cold but their faces wore a look of unutterable repose. The sexton told him that the vacant couch had been prepared for him. He afterwards learned that thase sleepers were his parents, but he did not know them and refused to lie down with the dead notwithstaLding that Mr. Raven and his wife promised to watch over all. He rushed from them down the long aisle between white sheeted forms on which the moonlight fell bluish and cold, he slammed the door and foua 1 himself in his own library. The next day he found in a closet a manuscript in his father's own handwritingrelating a similar experience. Upon learning this Mr. Vane regreted that he had not remained in the cemetery and believing that his patents were there he resolved once more to enter that strange region. He went to the gTret adjusted
tb9
mirrors and found himself
at iast on the heath. The raven met him but refused to lead him to the cottage. He said, "You are not Ready to Sleep Yet. Your time has not come and you must wait until called, but said the raven "you will get there,everybody who is not at home must get there." It is in this consideration that I found the subject which I chose for my lesson. These are the words. "The universe is a riddle trying to get out and you are holding your dooi bard against it." In anyother place the raven speaks of "letting the think out." He say a 'people meet to get helps from each other to get their thinking done" in fact the whole book seems to me a sublime le^stn on the expansion and growth of the soul In knowledge and
"W *S4"
purity. I see in it a vivid pictnre of the conflicting influences existing. Those which either narrow and destroy or broaden and enlarge the capabilities of the soul to see and feel and comprehend lessons in life. The lessons which the Divine Creator is seeking to teach us through the natural and spiritual laws,so that humanity may be freed from its bas.er propensities, until not one of the human race shall resemble repulsive, hideous creatures such as the spotted leopard or the monster in the bad burrow but with a GodJike intelligence and will choses and strives to become an individual being whose every thought and feeling harmonizes with the beautiful and perfect in nature and the nature's God.
I have drawn a practical lesson for my own benefit. If it sounds a little pedagogic remember it is for myself and when I have flnithed I shall be glad to htar the lebsons which others have druwn from the book. These were my thoughts,
Do not suppress the Godgiven power to think, let it out. I often wonder what many people live fcr. All want to live for ever and yet to consider how the majority spend their lives one would think that an ordinary life time would be sufficient. We have eyes to see and ears to hear and vet how little we see and how little we htarjj all because we do not let the think ave a chance. Some live as
a palatial
Is it anything which is
worthy to be carried on through all eternity? It is said when I reach Heaven I shall be happy. The streets there are of gold and all will wear white robes and carry golden harps in their hands. This is a beautiful imagery of a true poet embodying thoughts of spiritual jojfs which he symbolizes by the most precious things esteemed on earth. A stranger to those higher emotions of sacred ecstasy would be as insensible to the literal realization of the poets dream as he te to the sublime imagery. How much] happier would they be if the streets jvere all gold. Would it not become monotonous? Gold is a dead thing, not half sb pretty as the waving grass and beaatifil'flowers which breathe and play upon the preeze in happy joy of existence—No! Thb mind is happiness or misery. This world might be heaven, but man brings it s^rlow by laying down false rules for the attainment of happiness, and refusing to open the door of his intellect and let .the
nKn

they believed that all happiness consisted in the possession of wealth. If they owned

niture and could wear

gems
and dresses of cosily fabrics, that would be happiness. But let us analize this dream of happiness for a moment, does it come from pure enjoyment of the soul? Do these ambition dreamers think of the beautiful architecture of the house as an embodiment of thought in the creative taculty of man and an evidence of his intellectual progress? It is constructed for the sole purpose to give comfort and pleasure to all who come under its roof. Is the dress beautiful because the texture aud color are pleasing to the eye and suggests ru'es of harmony? The rarest antique lace placed around the baby's chubby face cannot compare with the delicacy of the texture and coloring in its rosy cheeks. Does the sparkle of gems bring pleasure to the eye? The dewdrops glittering in the morning sunlight surpass it in clear brilliancy and the eye can gaze on millions of them. Is not this coveted happiness too often only a satisfied selfishness that our house is better than our neighbor's, oar dress cost more than many can afford, aud people will envy our gorgeous diamonds, (lam notrefering to our club, but the world at large.) But seriously is there any soul in that kind of an existence, is not an ordinary life-time long enough time to indulge in that kind of pleasure? If we are to live forever we must let that part of our be ing nearest the infinite mind grow into sympathy with him. Who knows where the thoughts come from with messages, sometimes so strange. We say, "We think them, but who knows what messenger divine may be striving to enter the door of the soul and reveal to it one of the riddles of the universe and we turn away and make fast the door. How many use the seeing faculty in its highest sense. For instance, it is sunset—the west is a shimmering light of crimson and gold. Many do not even see it. One sees that it is red and that reminds him that it will be fair tomorrow. It has not rained for so long crops will fail, and he will not be able to add to his treasures. Another sees that the sun is going down and that suggests to him that it is supper-time, he must hurry home. A child looks and sees in it mountains and castles. Only children in this world take time to see and reflect. But let the thoughts have time to come and all will see that the brilliancy and spiendor of the sunset surpasses anything of which the mind can conceive. One sees in it a farewell smile from the sun, promising to return on-the morrow, and as the slanting rays flicker in mellow brightness through the green leaves, they seem to pass through the soul flooding it with pure sacred joy and an inward consciousness that the Great Father has smiled on all his children. If aided by reason, one is led to different and higher ideas than those of ages past, many are immediately frightened and crush the thoughts back as though the Infinite Mind could not reveal truths to the preset generation, as well as to the past. It seems so much easier to let some one else do our thinking for us, it leaves so much more time to eat and drink and enjoy—what?
thoughts come from afar. Why not drink of the^joys of the soul and« listen to ,the rushing of the waters in our ears
Take off the*pressure and let tlie think out. This closes the regular lesson that I give but I made a practical application of it to mysell and let my thoughts run into a little poetry suggested by what I wrote about the sunset. This is my second attempt at rhyme, but I thought I would give it to you for what it is worth.
THE SUN'S FAREWELL.
A laborer resting at close of the day, Weary and thinking how toilsome the way Yet 'tis sweet to be breathing the perfume of flowers, And watch the sun c.ose his allotted hotfrs.
It9 course was run. E're it dropped from view Its form was transfigured in resplendent line. The sky in the west was a shimmering light Of crimsonjand gold and ethereal white.
From the north to the south the bright rays extended, Until somber hues seflly falling blended. A radiant sinile seemed to say, "rest well: I'll come on the morrow—farewell, farewell."
Two little curly heads were swinging ncath the tree, Rivaling tbe birds in their evening melody Two dimpled arms crossed around each other here. Chubby fingers grasped the ropes which were hanging near.
To and ro little feet swung gaily on the breeze, Bright eyes watched the sun going down behind the trees Saw him spread the golden cloud-piles into pictures rare a ud new Caught the glimmer of a castle and a street of gold in view.
"Where the faries live," they said but fainter grew the ray. And the children grieved to sea that the sun must away A smile broad and bright said again, "sleep well I'll come on the morrow—farewell, farewell,"
A FEW MORE EL1GIBLES
WHO ARK WAITING VERY (IMPATIENTLY FOR A FAIR DAMSEL
To Step Up and J* *k Tliein the "Fatal Question." Many of tlie Boys are on tlie Anxious Seat,"
As we thought perhaps some of the "boys" might feel slighted because they were not mentioned in the eligibles yesterday, and wanting to give them all a fair show, we produce another batch todag. The boys mentioned below are first rate fellows, and will do to "tie" to. The first we call to mind is
Harvey Barrett, a pedagogue—rather stuck on himself, but shows a disposition to be a good husband. You won't miss it if you get him.
Bob Hays, a "bloody butcher," but a cle(a)ver fellow, and only too anxious for a proposition. Goes to Mohawk quite frequently.
Ray Geary, of Blackstone fame, ugly as a mud fence, but has more manners than the average young man. It will pay you to "investigate" this youth.
Clare Duncan, a foot ball crank, but has many good traits. Will Rhoadarmer, a tailor, dresses well and presents a good appearance.
Wood Meek, a genial and clever fellow—got to catch him quick, as his trips to Tipton mean something.
Lucian Pauley, a newspaper man— steer clear of him, as he won't do to trust.
Tom New, aa admirer of fast horses and a clever fellow, but tempered like a cross-cut saw—is all right as long as things go his way—would make a good husband for a woman who is willing to coax.
John Scott, had almost forgotten him, but he is in tbe market good, hard and strong—keep your weather eye on him.
Lou Banks, an industrious and hard working young man—would no doubt make a good husband if he could find time to stay at home.
Horace Swope, all right, but likes to go to the city—girls don't take to him much.
Will Dudding, better known as "Long Bill"—an industrious young man—hasn't worked a lick in six months—a good talker and a dead easy mark. "Goose" Haffner, a long, lean, lank, hungry dutchman—a good worker, and would make a hu3band,that "any woman might be proud of—not pretty, but industrious—thinks he has a girl at 'Indianapolis.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, {and. {that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound orj imperfect' hearing, and when i? isi entirely telosed, Deafness is the result, «and unlsss the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal cotdition, hearingjjwill be destroyed-forever 'niae cases out of'ten are causedjby catarrh, which is nothing but amlnflamedjcondition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cnre. Send for circulars free.
