I satisfied farmers in the West
and Northwest to settle here
in country where crops are
not retarded by frosts and
billiards. There are men with
families on farms inWisconsin,
Minnesota and Dakota who
work and work and work and
manage to get crop once in
three years. 1t is folly for
anyone to believe those people
are satisfied. 1t is all
work with them and no
play; they contribute toward
the schools and every
thing else that is beneficial
to their community without
having more than a chance to
live in return. A majority of |
these farmers own 100 acres
of land and there is not one of |
them but what can raise bet
ter crops and be happier on 40 |
acres of Hawaiian soil than
where he is with 100. What |
the government should do is
to offer inducement of some
kind to actual settlers and to
bring the resources Of the
country before them in a way
that will attract their atten-
ton. The country has been
advertised extensively within
the last two years as a place
for revolutionary scares and
the location of a volcano and
home of hula dancers. Farm
ers do not care to live where a
rifle is necessary article of
toilet nor do they wish to
camp on the edge of a volcano.
Let the islands be advertised
as a place where farmers mayt
settle and cultivate fruit,
coffee or cane advantageously
and we will have an influx of
F eople who will contribute to-
ward the support of our institu-
tons and who will patronize the
merchants. The time to do
this is now, when the farmer
is walling up his house with
earth to keep the cold out, and
in his winter firewood.

How Desert Plants Live.

+. V. Coville, Botanist to the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
his admirable "Flora of the Death
Valley Expedition" dwells ona point
incidentally treated on by other au'
thors, that apparently herbaceous
plants in our American deserts" have
really underground trunks, often going
to great depths into the earth. In
this way plants can live through long
droughts with very little loss of mois-
ture. Mr.. Coville also remarks on the
comparatively small foliage surface OF
the plants of these regions, large-leaved
plants being very rare. Out CT forty
one species of woody plants, the leaves
of which were measured, only four had
leaves of over the fifth of n square
inch. Plants which in other parts Of
the world have berried or pulpy fruits,
have allied representatives here bear
ing dry fruits. How these desert plants
become correlated to the circum-
stances is a great question. Some con-
tend that they gradually changed
through the influence of many years
of environment, while others contend
that the geological and geographical
conditions, known under the genera
term environment, were not of grad
ual but of somewhat sudden introduc.
tons, and that plants unsuited to these
sudden changes would all have died
before the change in their constltu'
tions could have been effected. The
great question of the origin of this Pc
culiar desert flora will possibly be set
tied when more facts are brought tc
bear on the generalizatlons' view

"There is no cause for alarm,
madam" he said. ''Your little SON
William, 1 think he is called-has
met"
He stopped short, for another noise
broke in upon him, and another wo'
man, with Annie's features, but older
and more cAreworn, bounded down
the garden path toward them.
"My boy-my Williel' she cried,
and would have leaped into the wagon,
had Eben not interposed and restrained
her.
Briefly he explained about the acct
dent and quieted the fears of the two
women.
Both ran back to the house to pre-
pare bed for the wounded boy, and
Eben assisted Farmer Stetson to carry
the lad in.
"She don't recognize me-" he
thought
But after Willie had been undresseG
and placed in bed, and he was about
to take his departure with few civil
words Of sympathy, the boy spoke up.
"Aunt Annie" he said, "this gen.
tleman was very kind to me. He was
about buying some of the sheepfolds
when the train jumped the track,
1t must have been the picture of
long ago that that name coniured ur
which caused Eben Hallet to start
and his swarthy face to flush.
The wounded lads aunt glanced a
him sharply and then uttered a low
cry.
"Eben Hallet !" she gasped. "You?
She held out her hands, and there
was something in the expression O
her face that caused the Texan to SEIZE
them in firm grasp and lead he,
from the room.
1t was under an apple tree similar
to the one on the old Massachusetts
farm-in fact, it had been grated
with a scion from the parent stem
that the two halted.
What they said to each other doe
not interest the reader.
A great mistake had been made year
before because of the idle and malic
ious gossip of thegirl who had write
Eben that letter from his old home
which had hardened his heart agains

Davis, when, holding her in his stron

belief in her perfdy had never drive

4 Sleeper.

A sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that in which the sleeper
sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the
sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps.
Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in
the sleeper the sleeper carries the
sleeper over the sleeper under the
sleeper until the sleeper which carries
the sleeper jumps the sleeper and
wakes the sleeper in the sleeper, by
striking the sleeper under the sleeper,
on the sleeper, and there is no Longer
any sleeper sleeping in the sleeper. -

Oatmeal in the SCUM Pot.

Few people, says a well known cook,
appear to realize the value of oatmeal
as a means of thickening soups and
stews, etc. 1t should be smoothly
mixed with little cold water and
stirred thoroughly to the rest in a
boiling state. 1t requires brisk boil
ing Tor Is minutes, but need not be
stirred all the while, as cornstarch or
flour must be. This means of thicken-
ing ir not only the most nourishing,
but also the cheapest.

An Extraordinary Insect.

The "raft spider" found in Terra
del Fuego, is a most extraordinary in
sect. 1t derives its name from the
fact that it constructs raft of matted
leaves and pieces of wool, which it
uses to pursue its prey on the water.
Raft spiders travel in tours. They
make their oars out of twigs and
generally row a thirty-two stroke,
although they have been known at
times to increase the speed to thirty
six. Chicago Herald

/ Germany has for years possessedthe
most efficient pigeon service in Eu-
rome. At Strasburg there are 600
birds at Metz 900, at Thorn 1000,
and they are kept by the hundreds at
other centres, such as Mainz, Cologne,
Kiel and Danzig. The whole frontier
is connected by pigeon post with the
military headquarters and with towns
IN the interior. The service is sup
ported by an appropriation of about
$4,000 year. The practical use OF
the pigeon post was fully demon
str,ted at the siege of Paris in 1870.
Since then it has become a recognized
mart of the military organization od
all European countries except Great
Rritain. Russia has now on her Pol
isb frontier alone, 5000 birds, and APP
nropriates yearly $40, 900 for pigeons
