THE better President Clevelands S
policy in reference to Hawaii becomes
understood the less supporters he has
in his own party. In fact it is pretty
generally agreed throughout the country
that his course is indefensible. The
New York World, which has been a
staunch administration organ, thus deals
with the Hawaiian question:
The Quixotic attempt to reseat the deposed
queen on her discarded throne having been aban-
donaned Minister Willis's mission is ended.
He cannot be an acceptable minister to the gov
ernment which he has formally urged TO commit
hari-kari in order to crafty the sentimental
notion of an American administration. He has
only obeyed orders, it is true. But the nature OF
the orders, and the fact that he adhered to them,
even after the sem-savage woman proposed to
decapitate the members of the government to
which he was accredited in case of her restora-
tton, disqualify Mr.. Willis for future usefulness
in the present office. President Dole would be
amply justified in giving Minister Willis his pass
ports. He is not unlikely TO ask for his recall
Our government should render either course un-
necessary by recalling Mr.. Willis and sending
another representative, who will respect the
powers that be, and who is in no wise connected
with discredi;ed and disgraceful policy toward
those islands.

Snake-Charmers.

Charles Robinson, in February Lippincotts.
The secrets of snake charming are
much simpler than most people imagine.
The snakes to be handled are gorged
with food until they become drowsy, or
else they are drugged so that their senses
are dazed Sometimes they are kept in
ice boxes, and the cold puts them in a
semi torpid condition. In either case
the snakes are only half alive. In hand
ling the reptile the hands must always
grasp it at certain places where the head
can be guided and held from the body.
This is the hardest part to learn, but,
like everything else, it comes with prac-
tice. By dint of dexterity and strength,
the snake is easily passed from one hand
to the other and is allowed to coil about
the body. The snake -charmer, however,
must always be on the alert. When the
snake becomes to lively, it is put bac4
into the ice box. In handling reptile
with the fangs in,-which ought to be
prohibited by law,-One requires great
strength, as the strain on the system
during the performance is very consid-
erable. The grasp and movement must
be precise and accurate. There is no
room for hesitancy or uncertainty. Most
of the snakes handled, however, are
harmless, so far as poisoning is con-
cerned.
