SHALL WE DRIFT OR CUT CHAN
NELS?

The Labor Commission. which,
as originally created, has come TO an
end without making any report on
the extremely important subject
of supplying the sugar and coffee
planters with satisfactory laborers.
A report on this subject involved
the most serious consideration Of
many points, as well "a our rela
tons to the United States and the
Asiatic countries. 1t involved the
presentation of a plan which would,
or ought to, satisfy the planters
that their interests would be care
fully protected, and would, or
ought to, satisfy the white indus
trial and mercantile class that their
interests would also be carefully
protected. 1t involved the crea-
ton of a new and definite policy
on the subject.
1t is too apparent that this most
important matter has been allowed
to drift along for years, until the
political situation has become en-
barrassing. The reason for not
making the important report IS, "a
we have previously stated, that it
required time and further investi-
CATION in order to make it full and
satisfactory. No policy regarding
the labor supply of these islands
Will be permanent if it does not
provide for, or take into account, !
the actual condition of things, or
the relation of these islands to |
other countries. In view of the |
probability of annexation to the
United States, such policy should,
so far as possible, be in line with
the policy of the United States.
At the same time the peculiar con-
dition of our own population re-
quires a policy which will not put
any of our great industries in peril.
The law creating the Labor Com
mission expressly confined the per-
sonal investigation of the Commits
sioners to the islands, and this was
perhaps wise. The chairman of the
believed that the pro-
of the japanese, and the
large number of that race already
in these islands, required a careful
study of the problem of using the
abundant labor which is to be OBJ
tanned in Japan in such a way as
to satisfy the Japanese govern
ment, and at the same time not
seriously affect the mercantile and
interests here. The Jap
anese are an active and pushing
people, and will be heard from,
whether we desire to hear them or
not. They cannot be ignored. The {
wise policy is to arrange the rela-
tions of the two countries so that
there will be no friction, and at the
same time prevent inroads upon '
our mercantile and industrial in l
terests.
The chairman of the Labor Com I
visited Japan, on his indi-
vidual responsibility, and gathered 7
information on the
subject of adjusting the labor ques-
ion in a satisfactory way. He has
made no report, however, as the I
act creating the Labor Commission
lid not contemplate a report OF
his kind, and the commission was r
terminated by law. Z
The new Labor Commission Il
hould take the matter in hand, il
md present to the Legislature a :
,lan for supplying labor in the
manner we have indicated.

POULTRY NOTES.
About Various Things of Value Relat-
ing to Poultry.

The diet of fowls must be frequently
changed, or they will take on an over
fat condition and stop laying. While
during cold weather heating foods
should be given, they should be as
studiously avoided when the warm
season comes on.
Egg shells are good for the fowls,
but they should be crushed very fine
before feeding them. Otherwise you
may introduce the egg eating vice into
the poultry yard.
When a hen becomes broody, due
preparations for the event should be
made. A setting hen is an ideal breed
ing place for lice, and the invitation is
most readily accepted if war is not
made against their advance. Be sure
to give them places for dust baths,
and add a little sulphur now and then.
Though it may be upon a small
scale few dollars spent in good poul-
try, and a few more in providing COM
Portable accommodations, will return
about the largest interest of all your.
investments. 1t adds to the income in
a substantial and constant way which
is most gratifying.
Sharp grit, meat scraps and green
food must be included in the diet of all
poultry confined to runs. Without
these articles hens cannot make eggs
Feed all scraps to the fowls while they
are strictly fresh; nothing will more
quickly cause disease than decompos-
ing food.
What further proof do we need that
poultry raising is a profitable indus
try than that we find great numbers
both in town and country, engaged in
it? We are certainly within bounds
when we say that this business is fol-
lowed more universally than any other
in this country.
Feather pulling is largely due to
idleness. 1t is most liable to occur in.
active breeds that are kept confined,
and have little exercise
Disease and disaster are reasonably
sure to follow when foods, particularly
soft stuffs, are thrown down among
the dirt and filth of the floor. 1t soon
sours, and it aOsorbs portion Of the
surrounding filth; on general principles,
it is a bad practice.
A welI-bred fowl will lay more eggs
and grow to marketable size sooner.
Therefore, there is more profit from it
and it is the fowl for you to have.
Grade up your stock with good males,
at least, and have a better lot OF
chickens in the next generation.

NEW START IN LIFE.
A Little Capital Was All He Needed
to Resume Business.

By the iron post which supports the
Herald thermometer stood Boozy
Groggles, past grand master of the
Sons of Rest. He had Sad and
thoughtful air as he studied the figures
on the instrument. 1t was one OF
those cold days on last week. the first
warning blasts from the trumpets of
the advancing hosts of winter. The
mercury had been going down all day,
and now registered less than sixty de-
greeS. 1t was much too early in the
evening for the fires which set the
great presses throbbing to send any of
their spare heat up through the graf
ing in the Sixth avenue sidewalk
The Dodge statue already locked down
upon score of Mr.. Groggles' compan-
ions, gathered in the stone semicircle
back of the fountain. Every room in
'Dodge's Hotel'' was engaged. Alto
gether the outlook for B. Groggles was
dispiriting
Behind him two newsboys were
scraping over an exchange of papers,
He turned slowly to look at them
Suddenly his eyes became fixed upon
round, dark spot on the sidewalk,
dimly discernible in the scant light
Could it be-he stopped hastily-it
was, it was, ONE CENT!
The boys saw the grimy fingers
gather it in. With great presence of
mind one of them cried to the other:
'Say, dere, Skinny, OATS one er your

Course It's" said the other.
Didn't I JUS say I wus shy er cent?

Your cent?" said the tramp.

Just then a comfortable looking man

smoking a cigar, strolled leisurely by.

A ST. Lawrence county farmer lost
eight fine young pigs mysteriously a

of the rats. The next morning the
trap held IS rats and no pigs have

Some of the stuffs exhibited in Paris
| shop windows are in such startling
| hues that it puts ones teeth fairly on
| edge to look at them. Indeed. daring
things are done nowadays with differ
ent colors and shades, but it is almost
fatal to be daring unless in q position
| to be also varied, and even then loud
colors are decidedly vulgar, particu-
larly for the street
Among the novelties shown for the
Saratoga belle especial mention should
be made of new vinagrettes, or smell
ing bottles, of Chinese manufacture,
the war having brought them into
vogue. They are followed out by
hand after months of labor from am
Der, rock crystal sard, cha1cedony and
other hard stones, and have the ad-
vantage, it is claimed, of being cool
to the hand
Among the latest novelties displayed
for feminine convenience are skirt
gripS-little contrivances made of solid
gold for attaching the skirt to the
waist, and preventing the sagging
down i'll the back, so hard to obviate.
These grips resemble substantial pins
or clasps, and have a stout gold eye
fastened to the reverse side. on which
a corresponding hook, sewed TO the
band of the skirt, is meant to be
caught.
For summer weather fine lawn has
reasserted its claim to the favor of the
youthful, and certainly nothing can
be more becoming. 1t appears as
skirts with fine embroidered insertions
edged with narrow valenciennes and
as large turnover collars and cuffs to
match on silk Jackets. In addition to.
the tineneSs of the lawn the work at
tracts admiration and proves that the
art of the needle is still practiced In
no small degree.
Pockets in the folds of the skirt
have been abandoned The difficulty
of finding them, especially in a dress
worn for the first time, has led to-
their being placed at the side. under
a flap or some kind of ornament The
pocket ought to be deep enough not to
bulge. Moreover, it's use is chiefly to
hold the handkerchief, whereas it is
now very usual to slip under the
waistband an extremely fine and sty-
lish handkerchief to be used in case of
necessity. Except in the case of "a
nervous affection or of cold it is
rarely used.

HER EYES.

Are the eyes l love black, brown or
blue?
It matters not what is their shade or
hue,
So long as they are loving, tender,
true.
They may be blue as bluest summer
sky,
Or brown and black in deepest shades
may vie.
l love the soul which meets mine
through the eye.
The eyes, which tell me all l care to
know,
Whose orbs with sympathetic fervor
glow.
And all the heart within on me be-
STOW.
The vide world holdeth none that can
excel.
The soul within them doth my soul
impel.
Dear eyes, l thank them for the tale
they tell.

IRISH EYES.
The Chosen Interpreter of the New
Woman, as Seen on the Stage.

The woman of the moment in Lon
don is Mrs. Patrick Campbell.
Painters paint her; poets rhyme her;
critics praise h"r, and all London is
talking of her and has been ever since
She burst upon a waiting world in the
difficult and unpleasant role of "The
Second Mrs. Tanqueray." AS she was
wont to say in The Notorious Mrs
Ebbsmith," which she so recently and
vigorously interpreted. Every woman
has her hour. Mine has come"
Mrs. Campbell owes a very respect
able share of her handsome success to
her really magnificent Irish eyes, that
are large, brilliant and burn with a
magnetic light
To her first success as Mrs. Tan
queray has been added her crisp, force
full presentation of the sill more diff
ficult role of Mrs. Ebbsmith, and just
now her intelligent reading of Fedora
is adding fresh laurels to her already
| heavy crown.
What matter if her voice has a
harsh unpublished riDG-her exits aud
her entrances are unfinished; her walk
is uugraceful and her hair almost I'M
kempt. She has earnestness Of pur-
| pose and manner, and pair Of mag
| netic eyes, that compel your admira-
| ton and senses
And, now, who is Mrs. Patrick
Campbell? Very few people in Lon
don seem to be clear on that subject
Her name has led people to imagine
that she is an 1rishwoman, and she is
| said to have had a romantic and un-
| fortunate past. Other than that, little
is known of her. However, according

WHAT WOMEN ARE WEARING.

Pearl gray, with a decided blue
color.
All kinds of thin, gauzy materials
are popular this season for both gowns
and waists.
Patent-leather shoes, with black
stockings, and tan shoes with stock
ings to match are the reigning styles
OF the season.
Hats of combination straw and satin
braid are trimmed with bands ana
rosettes or standing bows of the same
pliable fancy braid.
An entire dome of changeable Law
ender silk over which is showered
small punches of yiolets intermingled
with detached violets is a springlike
affair.
Collars and cuffs Of batiste, or India
lawn, edged with narrow ruffies OF yell
lowed valenciennes lace, are much IN
favor and freshen a costume wonder
fully.
Collars consisting of successive
strands of small pearls are reckoned
very stylish a new bracelet shows al
ternate stars of rubies and diamonds
connected by links.
The princess of Wales, who was
once the acknowledged leader of fash
ion, but whose right to rule is now
questioned, has lately started wearing
small sleeves on her gowns.
Many shirt waists have narrow
border around the collars and cuffs
and bordering the opening down the
front. There are also some having
white collars, but these are not fav-
ored by the most fastidious women.
The new PLAIN and figured mohairs
are gaining favor very rapidly. They
are very silky in appearance, hgnt IN
weight and do not hold the dust The
new alpacas most approved OF fashion
are a widely meshed material, pec1-
liariy glossy, but almost rough II I'M

/ Shirt waists maintain their popu-
/ larity undated. They are made not
only in serviceable cambria, percale
and bingham, but also in the fines
! dimity, with a discreet adornment OF
! lace and ribbon. The palmer ones
have almost exclusively the turn
down collar.
Smooth cloth in white and cream is
one of the leading favorites in sea-
J shore skirts, which will be popularity
worn with brightly tinted taHeta
! bodices and shoulder capes OF the
cloth lined with silk in warm tones OF

with those of the bodice.
A noteworthy license prevails IN
hairdressing, often the choiffure is
changed to suit the hat, the Dutch
bonnet absolutely requiring quite
! fluffy style To arrange the hair in a
wavy mass low over the ears is new
style, but it is so unbecoming and SO
easily imparts ali appearance OF age
that it is not likely to be general OF
lasting.

Potatoes for Hogs-A subscriber
writes: Please tell ne how to feed po-

For many years, says reliable farm
journal, we considered that the only
method by which potatoes could be
rrofitablv ED to hogs was by cooking
them. And there is no doubt but
cooked potatoes, mixed with shorts or
corn meal, make a food that is not
only keenly relfshed by the hog, but
also proves an excellent ration. When
to this milk, is added, the hog of any
age will appreciate his food in the
highest degree, for there is nothing
with which we are acquainted, that

A Goose Can Count.-Seashore gun
ners hold that the wild goose can
count two, but not three. According
ly it is customary in preparing to
shoot wild geese from a blind or some
detached ribbon of marsh for three
men to row over to the station to-
gether and for two of them to return to
the main land. The geese, being I'M
able to count above two, believe when
they see the two men returning that
no enemy has been left upon the marsh
and approach the spot without fear.
1t is asserted that if two men go out
and only one returns the geese will
carefully avoid the region of the blind
Elk.

Deep Plowing-On the principle of
radiation, deep blowing has decided
advantages over shallow. in protecting
the crops against frost as well as
drought; for the more compact a sub
stance is, the greater the powers of
radiation, consequently it sooner parts
with its heat and is reduced to the
temperature of the atmosphere, which
is frequently below the freezing point,
when the loose mellow soil is far above
it. On rolling lands much injury is
done by surface washing, and this, too,
can be largely prevented by deep plow-

Decrease in Wheat Cultivation
Poster Lloyd says: The most strik-

wheat area in the aforementioned
countries, which is shown as follows:

has not been increasing. The vote on
taking UP the Jones bill was 30 to u.
Adding eleven pairs and the four abb
sentees on each side, the vote stands,
with eighty-seven Senators. forty-five
for free coinage and forty-two against.
Divided on party lines, the strength OF
the two elements is as follows: For
free coinage. IA Republicans. 26 Demo-
Gratis and 5 Populists; against free
coinage, % Republicans and II Demo-
Gratis. Only one Senator from the East,
Mr.. Cameron, voted for free silver. In
the northern central region, from the
Atlantic to the western border of Iowa,
embracing more than half the popula-
ton, thirty-three Senators oppose. while
but three favor, and those three are
Cameron. of Pennsylvania. and Voor-
hees and Turpie, Of Indiana.
