has grown used to this and does the best
she can with the conglomeration Of
dresses, cloaks and hats which are sent
her, though the result Is sometimes
rather tragic However, she has always
felt that she did nobly by the children.
and If the dresses and coats and cloaks
and trousers were misfits none was ever
unkind enough to say anything about it.
One Sunday, however. she dressed the
nine hopefuls with great care and
marched them to the church. She was o

Refined Cruelty In France.

The humanitarian lady who will not
wear birds in her bonnet or eat flesh
meat or permit down pillows to soften
her lot il life should turn her attention
to a refined cruelty that is at the mo-
ment q vogue in certain districts in
France. For the manufacture Of q GER
tain superfne cloth called zibeline rab-
bits are pluoked alive. and the long fur
thus obtained Is into the afore-
said texture. A particular breed Of rab-
bits is only suitable. and these hapless
creatures m carefully tended after the
pluoking process until their fur grows
again. The thing Is inexcusably cruel,
and no woman would surely encourage
the sale or manufacture of such cloth If
her heart. not to say ~sensibility, Is in
the right place. Chicago Post

This is Charles A. Dana's opinion of
the newspaper man who pretends to be
infallible: There is a tradition in some
newspapers of the old school that You
must pretend to q silly infallibility and
admit you have been wrong. That
Is a silly rule. II a man has. not the
moral courage to say, Yes, / was wrong,
and | don't now believe what / said at
some former time; If he has not courage
to say that, he had better retire from

HYPNOTIzING ny MAIL.
A Device which May BE Useful in the
TransmissIOn OF Kisses.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
That this is the day of long-range fight
ing is well illustrated by the following
personal adj: I'VE will thoroughly
teach you how to hypnotic by mail; guar
antee success; only college of hypnotism
in America"
The price charged for this instruction
is only So Considering the guarantee
thrown in, the novelty, and the inherent
difficulty of "hypnotizing by mail" no
one, maybe, can call this an extravaganza
charge. 1t is easy enough to hypnotic
by personal contact with the subject, but
the transmission OF hypnotic influence
through the United States mails must be
a higher and far more difficult attain
ment. Not having paid our fee we cam
not speak with certainty of the method
to be followed and can only make guesses.
The Influence could hardly be sent
through the mails without a postage
stamp and there must be some papahle
thing for the stamp to adhere to- 1t may
be that the stamp is affixed to an envel-
ope, apparently empty, but in reality fill
ed with Well-directed and powerful
passes which will attack the nerves
of the subject as soon as the seal is
broken. If this is the plan, the adver-
tiser might find it profitable to extend his
sphere of operation to include the trans
mission of kisses; many an absent lover
would gladly pay $40 for something more
satisfying than the system of blotted
crosses hitherto in use.

She accepted. and Mrs. Lewis refused to

difference of ten minutes between them,
the oldest member in each house, not
the oldest merely in experience or point
OF service but the oldest in years,
mounted in one, the speakers rostrum
and in the other the Presidents. The
houses were called to order and thus
was the Eighteenth legislature of Ari-
IONA convened.
Two members of the council, John S.
Jones of Yavapai, and E. J. Babbit OF
the council, were absent. This circum-
stance did not disturb the beautiful
though embarrassing equilibrium of
that body since, the former of the alb
sentees is Repub blican and the latter,

was no equih brium to be disturbed so
that the absence of G. W. Hull. Demo
crat of Yavapai, had no other effect
than to reduce by one an already hope
less minority, though his presence
might have cut some figure in the Or
ganization of the house by the Repub-

SAN Francisco, Jan 21.-F. NJ. Hatch,
minister OF foreign affairs of the Ha-
waiian republic, sailed for Honolulu
today. Minister Hatch is rushing
home to lend his assistance to his gov
ernment. He deplores the condition of
affairs at Honolulu and declares that
Hawaii has many important questions
to deal with in its coming history.
Incidentally it was learned from
friends OF the, minister that the Japan
ese question is becoming serious one
and that the provisional government
has not only had the royalists to deal
with but it has also had to use its force
to suppress an uprising of Japanese
laborers on the plantation of Eva. Eva
Is 10000 acre grant situated fifteen
miles back of Honolulu.
Several davs before the revolt headed
by Wilcox broke out, 200 Japs on the
plantation named attacked their over
seer and nearly killed him. Several
white men were pretty badly beaten by
the rioters and the police had to be
called on for protection.
1.-THE Japanese, fear, will overrun
the country" said the minister.
Every vessel from Japan brings in a
large number of laborers and the Japs
are commencing to think they are
allpowerful. They are quarrelsome
and vicious.

The Upper House.

The very closeness in the upper house
contributed to an easy adjustment Of
affairs. 1t was apparent from the out
set that deadlock lasting indefinitely
could be avoided only by a compromise
There was no difficulty in agreeing upon
the main features of it, but there was a
struggle over some OF the minor ap-
pointments.
= The council was called to order by
Councilman-at-Larg Doran and the
first roll call was ordered. The follow
ing members answered to their names ::
F. T. Aspinwall of Apache; B. A.
Packard OF Cochise; E. j. Edwards of
-Gila; Burt Dunlap of Graham; W. H..
Lake of Mohave; Henry E. Kemp of
Maricopa; J. B. Scott of Pima; Thomas
Davis of Pinal; M. J. Nugent of Yuma !;
A. j. Doran at large.
E. J. Edwards nominated Chas. F.
Hoff of Pima for temporary secretary,
and he was unanimously elected.
The chair appointed Messrs. Kemp
and Edwards a committee to wait on
Chief Justice Baker and request him to
perform the ceremony OF administering
the oath of Office to the members.
The council then adjourned until l
O'Clock, when the chief justice appeared
and the members were sworn in. A
recess of thirty minutes was taken and
the caucus began its labors to arrange
the details of the compromise. The
recess was extended from time to time
until nearly 4 O'Clock. 1t had been
mainly occupied by the Democrats in
deciding what they would demand.
When the council was again called to
order, Col. Edwards of Gila nominated
A. J. Doran for president. The nomi-
nation was seconded by Mr.. Davis of
Pinal, and the election took place with
out dissenting vote.
Mr.. Scott of Pima nominated Chas.
