a Warning to Hawaii.

Mentone, France, is situated on
the shore of the Mediterranean, ff-
teen miles northeast OF Nice. The
climate is very equable and very
mild. The mean is about 81 degrees
Fahrenheit. The vegetation is al
most tropical; lemon trees, olive
trees and pines, rising above each
other in successive stages, adorn the
surrounding slopes. The town,
which has population OF about 5000
rises like an amphitheater on a
promontory by which its senior
cular bay is divided OF late years
Mentone, on account OF its mild and
even climate, has become the Mecca
OF invalids, and especially OF con-
sumptiyes. Forty years ago the in
habitauis OF Mentone and the neigh
borhood we're healt by, happy race
OF splendid physique, to whom con-
sumption was absolutely unknown.
When Mentone became noted as
retreat for those sick with con
sumption the peasants left their
farms and their healthy manner OF
living to wait on the wealthy in
valids Thousands Of consumptves
died there, impregnating the soil
aud the water with the germs OF
their disease. AS result the earth,
air and water OF Mentone are in
tested with bacilli OF tuberculosis,
and the once robust and healthy
peasants have become consumptives
almost to man and woman. No
more complete or startling proof of
the truth Of the germ theory of the
disease could we'll be imagined.

Elk Queen Liliuokalani realizes
that any effort to secure her title to
the crown lands must be made
simultaneously with the act of pro-
lection or annexation, and she has
doubtless been 30 advised. There
can be no doubt that it is her further
object to secure ia case Of anne1a-
tion or protection the fullest rights
of the franchise of her people, by
whom she is deeply beloved and in
whom she takes an unsel6sh inter-
est. She fears that those in power
in Hawaii now would desire to limit
the franchise TO persons Of white or
African descent, as placing the vot-
ing power in the hands of the Ha-
waiian would necessarily mean their
own defeat. She does not believe
that the United States would be
likely to annex country and take
from its native people the right to
vote, and it is likely that one of the
purposes of her visit is to present
this matter to the American Gov
eminent.

in comfort and enable her to indulge

THE BUFFALO BUR
A Dangerous Weed Of the West
Found in Maine.
Description Of the Troublesome invader and
How 10 Meet il.

The attention of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Orono has been
called to the introduction of another
very bad western weed in this State.
the Buffalo Bur (solanum rostratum.)
The director of the station is preparing
an article on the subject which
will be generally published. Mean
while it may be of interest to
note what the T.. S. department of
agriculture has to say about this weed.
In bulletin No 2S, 1895, we find the fol-
lowing description and illustration of
the Buffalo Bur:
This plant is also native in this com
try, originally growing on the western
plains. close to the mountains. from Mex
leo nOrthward. 1t was doubtless spread
to some extent by the buffaloes as il has
been found along the buffalo wallows.
