LEPER BLANE A. Land "Where one I Taxes o: A land where one does noe have to pay taxes or rents, and where benefi cent government provides cottages and rations, herds and clothing, and where not only blankets, bnt even medical attendance are without cost, is not this a veritable Utopia? Yet euch a land is our nearest neighbor in the Pacific, and is only some two thousand miles distant. As one's steamer leaving San Fran cisco approaches the Hawaiian Islands before it can drop anchor in the beau tiful harbor of Honolulu it must needs puss Molokai. And Molokai? Why that is the fifth island in size of the entire grcup of the Sandwich Islands, and is some forty miles in length, with an area of about 200,000 acres. On its eastern side are elevations of fully 2,500 feet, while on its western slopes they diminish to a height of about 1,000 feet. Its valleys are beautiful and are filled with deer. A herd of spotted deer, presented by the Mikado of Japan some thirty years ago, were placed by the king of the Sandwich Islands on Molokai, and now number some three thousand, roaming at large over a large part of the island.- Here are many kinds of the most luxuriant tropical vegetation, the balmiest air, the most invigorating sea breezes, even such spicy breezes. a?? blow? soft o'er Ceylon's isle. But though every prospect pleases, few persoas can be induced to make their home on Molokai. The entire popu lation is only some three thousand, and a year ago eleven hundred and twenty of these were lepers. Prob ably nowhere in the world is the . census more carefully taken and more accurately known than is the case in the northern part of this interesting inland. Molokai, as it is well-known, is the name of the leper colony of Hawaii. The lepers do not occupy all the island, but only a grassy plain, ten EiUes in length, and varying from one to two miles in width on the north side of the island, and yet separated wholly from the rest of the island and its population by a precipice fully a thousand feet high, which can be scaled only at one point and here it is securely guarded. Despite their freedom from taxation sind rents, their ample supplies of food and clothing, their abundant herds of cattle and horses, and their fertile fields which require so little labor, the lepers are virtually life prisoners, shut in by the ocean on one side and by the impassable' mountain on the other. Most of the lepers are natives, but foreigners are found among the colonists, and all who once come to this part of Molokia, save to bring supplies or to inspect, as the Board of Health twice > each year, do so with the expectation of never returning. At a eost of some $10,000 per month the Hawaiian Government maintains this open-air leper hospital in order to perfectly quarantine and thus finally stamp out leprosy among the Sandwich Islanders. Sheltered from the strong sea wind, this plain of Kalaupapa would make an ideal place of residence, alike for its beautiful surroundings and the salubrity of its climate; and here everything is done, compatible with preventing the spread of the disease, to makejits unhappy victims contented. The heart-rending wails of those who part with loved ques and friends for i the last time as they are about to be conveyed to Molokai tell the motto of the leper asylum: "All hope abandon, ye who enter here." But this sepa ration from friends is the chief sorrow of the Hawaiian leper, and that is re quired in order to save loved ones from the possible contagion of the disease. Among the victims of leprosy are persons of excellent families, whose friends build cottages for them on Molokai, and see that they lack noth ing for their comfort. It is stated that the first person to be removed to the leper island was a lawyer who had been active in securing the regu lation which required the removal of lepers in order to prevent the spread of the disease. No sooner did the unmistakable evidence of the dread disease first appear than he insisted on setting the example of patriotism in voluntarily surrendering himself to be removed to Molokai, although some years might have passed before his condition would have been known to the public. The disease had made considerable inroads among the lower classes and nothing but this heroic remedy promised to supress it effec tually. Vigilance is used to separate any one who is suspected until it is definitely known whether or not he is a victim of the disease, and if so he is promptly exiled to thc island. Children born of parents who are lepers after passing a given age with out showing any sig?s of the disease, are removed from Molokai and kept in confinement? for a certain number of years, so that they may neither con tract the disease nor be the means of ) OF MOLOKAI, >oes not Have to Pay v ?Rent?. spreading it; then, if found "clean" j by the Board of Health, they can be [ permitted to go anywhere. Such chil I dren are educated at the expense of the Government. Thus, after thirty years, the Government has the satis faction of believing that effectual means have been devised of caring for the unfortunate lepers in the most humane manner, while attempting to suppress the disease which was s threatening to the population and fa name of the Hawaiian Islands. How ever, as is to be supposed, attempts are made to escape this life-long quarantine. King Kalakaua, in his royal pro gress throughout the group of the Hawaiian Islands, did not fail to visit Molokai,, where he made a speech to bis unfortunate subjects, who were in exile because they were lepers, and assured them of his deep interest in their welfare. His words called forth the grateful sobs of the leper colonists who were much moved by the smy pathy of their sovereign, whom they were permitted to hear without ap proaching him. So when the Board of Health make their annual tour of inspection hundreds of lepers gathe about the house where visitors are entertained, but no leper is ever allowed to enter. Thus every precau tion is taken to prevent the spread of the disease, while efficient supervision is had of the hospitals, schools and other agencies which -belong to this leper asylum. The death of Father Damien, the Belgian priest who died on Molokai a few years ago, attracted the attention of the Christian world to the religious needs of the lepers. Joseph Damien went there a young priest of thirty three years of age and labored among the unfortunate exiles for some twen ty yean. After sixteen years leprosy appeared, and ' he suffered loss of smell, then of touch and of sight until finally, after losing fingers and toes, tuberculosis attacked his lungs and throat, and then came his heroic death. Nor did he have to wait long for a successor. His brother, Pam phile Damien, accompanied hy four priests and as many nuns, have gone to take up his work. His comrade, Brother Joseph Dut ton, has been on Molokai for sixteen years. The reports of the Propaganda show that priests and lay brothers and nuns have long ministered there in the hospitals and schools devoted to thc lepers and their children. Nor is the word being done among the lepers on Molokai limited to the labors of these praiseworthy priests and their associates. After the noble work which has been done op each of the other islands by the American Board, one is prepared to learn of a Congregational Church, with its faith ful pastor, on Molokai. Here also are to be found a Young Men's Chris tian Association, a Sunday school, a Bible class, a singing school, a gym nasium and a reading room. One who has obseived the Hawaiian love of sweet melodies is glad to know also of a band of sixteen leper musicians on Molokai. While visitors are permitted to ac company the health officers on their semi-annual visits of inspection, every precaution is taken to avoid unpleas ant scenes between the leper colonists and their relatives, as well as to pre vent any spread of the disease through the inadvertence of visitors in being brought into immediate contact with the lepers, who go freely on foot or horseback over all that part of the island. Molokai is literally "without the camp," and no one can visit the Hawaiian Islands, where leprosy, some thirty years since,^ promised such de cimation of the inhabitants, and not be impressed with the wisdom of the legislation which was based upon thc example of the laws of Moses for the segregation of lepers, and upon its effectiveness, In fact, the visitor to the "Paradise of the Pacific" now needs to go to Molokai to find a leper, unless by accident he encounters one who is about being removed thither, while the traveler in Palestine is liable, as occurred to the writer of this article at Sheechem, to have the fingerless hands of poor lepers stretch ed out for alms as the curtain of his tent is being taken down at the con clusion of his breakfast, when a hasty leap into the saddle is his only pos sible escape from the feted atmos phere. Surely there must have been a great relaxation of the wise law imposed under Moses for the segregation of the lepers which came out with that "mixed multitude from Egypt," when, after no exception could be made in the case of Miriam, or even I'zziah and Azariah, who though on thc throne must need 'dwell apart" be cause they are smitten with leprosy, yet a leper mingled freely with the multitude to whom our Lord preached his sermon as they came down from the mount, awaiting his opportunity cry, "Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean!" It is significant too, to read Luke's account, and evei the beloved Physician's diagnosis ii the words, "a man full of leprosy,' and yet find the poor man minglinj with the multitude even in one of th cities where he had his first opportu nity of making his appeal. I saw a case of elephantiasis, o black leprosy, in China, when th* poor woman told of her frightfu "vision in the night," and thu threw added light on Job's sufferings But the leprosy common at one tim< among the. lower classes on the Ha I waiian Islands seems to be of th< I same type as that which the travele. sees in the Leper's Hospital ncai Jaffa Gate of Jerusalem, or in th< Leper's Quarters ?here. It frequently makes its first appearance in the lobe.' of the ears until they begin to hanj as if a weight were attached to them Sometimes the ears become so elon gated as to make riding uncomfortable and the surgeon's skill is implored foi relief. Usually not until the lattei stages of the disease does the victim of leprosy feel great discomfort. The Hawaiian Government makes the lepers the wards of the Nation, and the Christian work being done among them is an unmistakable credential ol the Christ, who says to-day, as of old? "The lepers are '? cleansed, and thd poor have the gospel preached unte them."-Bishop E. R. Hendrix, D. D.. LL. D., in tlie Kansas City (Mo.) In dependent. About; Loafers.' The following from the Charlotte Observer fits so well for Columbia, 01 any oth.er city for that matter, that ^we reproduce it in the hope that the good suggestions made will be heeded: About ten years ago Charlotte was emancipated from the habit of loafing. From that time it prospered. For merly, in front of each store, the pro fessionals sat upon dry goods boxes, whittled sticks and talked over the affairs of reen', women and children in the town. One man made a rule that there could be no loafing in front of his place of business. He was con sidered reckless. A little later a cloth ing house made the same rule. The movement grew until . to-day there is not a business house'in Charlotte hav ing loafers in chairs and on dry goods boxes in front of any store. They have been driven from one store to another until now the native local loafer has no place of refuge except amongst the transient guests at the hotels. He still gets out at night and squats on chairs that he never pays for at the hotels and .loafs in disguise, as a transient guest of the house. Charlotte has prospered in proportion as the loafing habit has been broken up. The loafer not only produces nothing, but he saps the energies of the working man; Some years ago the Obseder wrote of the emancipation of Fort Mill from the loafing habit. The local paper at Fort Mill copied the article and ex pressed pleasure in being written about in that strain. Since then Fort Mill has been prosperous by the efforts of those people who are never seen whit tling sticks and loafing on the streets. In the course of time in all our south ern towns and cities the loafing habit will be disgraceful, as it ought to be. From that time forward every south ern town and city will prosper. In Rockinham the loafing habit has been largely broken up. As a conse quence it is a prosperous town. Rock Hill, in South Carolina, was never a victim of the loafing habit, and it always prospered. Founded, practi cally since the war, it has prospered far beyond the adjacent towns that are more than 100 years old. To all towns we would say : "If you would prosper then drive out the loafers." Nothing is more of a nuisance than to go into a store to make a 10 cent purchase and have 14 loafers hear all the talk about it. and then talk it over afterwards. To each and every town in the South we say : "If you would prosper then break up the loafing habit."-Columbia Reg ister. - m? ? m Pitts' Carminative is pleasant to the taste, acts promptly, and never fails to give satisfaction.

This state of mind is only occasional, owing to the completeness of demonstrations to the contrary which almost invariably fol low it. The baby had been crying. All her efforts to sooth it had been in vain, and finally Mr. Blynkins laid down the book whose reading he had interrupted two or three times a page to cast blameful glances and said: "Julia, are you aware we pay rent for only a portion of this building ? Does it occurr to you that whih we have a right to fill this flat full of noise as we choose, we are not moral ly justified in causing noise to over flow and prevade the entire structure?" "Itlsa baby tha's crying,'*1 she sug gested. "You are not adopting the method likeliest to quiet the child. You have been humming to it, but what the child needs is music. Give him to me and I'll show you what I mean." He took the child and proceeded to chant a lulaby. The little one stop ped crying and stared at him. "There," said Mr. Blynkins as he reached the end of a verse, "what he wanted was music, real music. He wan't to be fooled with any make-be lieve humming. Of course, the fact that I used to sing in a glee club and bad my voice cultivated may make a difference, too." He had not gotten very far into the next stanza when there came a ring at the bell. He gave the baby to his wife while he opened the door. A girl of four teen or fifteen said: "We're the people who have just moved into the flat above. There's a sick lady with us, and says if it's all the same to you, would you mind let ting the baby cry instead of singing to it?"_ _ - You can keep out yellow fever by putting your system in perfect order.
