There is no greater misfortune in life

The easist thing for a loafer to do il

The trouble with people who can talk
is that they are apt to say too much.
The diamond has the most sparkle.

ments 10 determine the value OF mag
netism in the therapeutics OF neurotic
disorders, and has just published the re.
suits in the New York Medical Journal.
Considering all that Doctor Charcot has

little odd to have Doctor Peterson assert
that the human organism is in no wise ap'

In his food the Hawaiian native still
clings to the native fashion which be.
longs to his primitive condition. His
menu consists of poi, boiled or baked
taro and raw fish. Poi is sort of stew
that smells worse than the rankest lin

after all to the taste. Taro is a tropical
fruit, from which taro -four is made.
While the native male is making a few
dollars at fishing, mis- spouse earns

In which the native woman is an expert.
The term really stands for what is known
in civilization as massage, the natives
from time immemorlal being experts in
its manipulation.
Although small in numbers, the
American in Hawaii "gets there" every
time. He owns four tifths of Hawaiian
wealth, nine tenths of her foreign com.
merce, and carries in his ships eight
tenths OF her freight.
Still further, it must be remembered
that the Hawaiian Islands have, by their
strategic opposition, the positive control
of the commerce of the Pacific Ocean,
which will be enormously increased
when the Nicaragua Canal shall be COM
pleted.

Mexican Pearl Fisheries.

The Mexican Government has leased
to the Compania Perlifera me Ia Baja
California for sixteen years the pearl fish
cries comprised between the mouth oil
the Colorado River and Cape San Lucas,
on the east coast of Lower California,
AID between the port of Mazatiau and
Barra de Suchiate, on the Pacific Coast
of the mainland, with the exception OF
the Eusenada de Chamela fisheries. The
consideration is the paymentby the com
pany of $40 per ton OF pearl oysters OBJ.
tanned in the first three years, aud Sl2
per ton during the remaining thirteen
years OF the lease.
The fisheries are to be divided into
two portions, to be worked alternately
every two years, thus preventing the ex'
hau,tiol OF the beds. The company
further binds itself to avoid the use of
destructive methods of fishing, to pro-
tect and extend the oyster beds, and to
introduce improved breeds, such as the
Tahiti pearl oyster or some other su'
perior variety. San Francisco Chronl-
