Police Court Poetry.

stepped up TO the bar when the clerk
called 'twenty-four." the police court
crowd gazed eagerly on, as often Ii

with gray. but withal her appearance
betokened that she was handsome In
her day.
Judge Peabody turned to ask her plea
and she said: II am guilty. sir: I've
been drinking again, our honor, and

Created nv the Trade Winds.

Harper's Magazine: b the middle OF
the century Lieutenant NJ. II. Maury. the
American photographer and meteorCo-
gist., advocated a theory of g%ravitation
as the chief cause OF ocean currents,
claiming that difference in density, due TO
difference in temperature and sadness,
would sufficiently account for the oceanic
circulation. This theory gained great
popularity through the wide circulation of
Maury's Physical Geography Of the Sea-"
which is said 10 have passed through more
editions thar any other scientific book of
the period. but II was ably and vigorously
combated by DR.. James Croll. the Scot
t,sh ~geologist. in his Climate and Time
and latterly the old theory that ocean cur
rents are due to the trade winds has again
come into favor. Indeed, very recently, a
model has been constructed, with the aid
of which 1t is said to have been demon
strated that prevailing winds in the direc-
ton of the actual trade winds would pro-
duce such a current as the gulf stream

In curious way (says the Washing
ton correspondent of the independently,
the beet sugar industry of the United
States has it's direct influence on the
abrogation of the Hawaiian Treaty, and
indirectly on the question Of annexa-
ton. Naturally Mr. Spreckels and the
"Beet Sugar Association" desire to cut
off the free sugar of Hawaii. The Beet
Sugar Trust has been a powerful in
fuence on the Senate for weeks past,
in the effort to abrogate the Treaty.
On the other hand, naturally, the Ha-
waiian sugar-growers are against any
change in the Treaty, which they re-
gard as reciprocal by the cession of
Pearl Harbor to the United States, in
exchange for the concession to Hawaii
of free sugar. Mr. Spreckels and Henry
Oxnard, the President of the Beet
Sugar Association" quite ignore the
Pearl Harbor provision of the Treaty,
and apparently see only the free-sugar
side of the question. They have no in
terests in Pearl Harbor. but they have

changes are accompanied with heavy
penalties for non-observance. New re-
gulations have also been promulgated
TO prevent collisions at sea. All vessels
built after June, 1898, must have one
hundred cubic feet and floor space of
not less than sixteen square feet for
each sailor, with proper ventilation,
etc. These changes are so radical that
owners and captains will do well to
look into the requirements of the new

vast interests in beet sugar. Mr.. Ok
nard talks freely and severely Of the
Hawaiian Sugar Trust and the "Ha-
waiian Lobby" in Washington, in the
interest Of free sugar. At the same
time many other people are just as
sure that the Beet Sugar Trust is even
a more powerful lobby, and speak quite
as freely of the Beet Sugar Lobby"
Mr.. Oxnard also holds up the evils of
cheap. or contract labor in Hawaii, and
yet Claus Spreckels, who now has the
largest interest in the Beet Sugar
Trust. became a millionaire Sugar
King" on this same cheap labor. The
friends of the ex-Queen Liliuokalani
declare, with some bitterness, that Mr..
Spreckels was but half-hearted Roy
alist at any time. He did not oppose
annexation because of any love for the
monarchy, but because with annexation
there could be no more contract labor,
and therefore he would be deprived of
enormous profits in this line. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the sugar
beet industry of California will be kept
free of contract labor, as it is already
announced that Japanese have appear
ed in the beet fields, who are suspected
of coming into the United States, under
contract for this purpose.

There are few things for which there
is greater variety of tastes than books.
Yet among all the books published,
novels comprise by far the larger class
Of publications, and very naturally
novel readers form the most numerous
class. Recently a prize contest was
suggested by the Critic" for the
twelve best American books" con-
tanning short stories founded on fact
or fiction. A gentleman residing in ST.
Louis, was awarded the prize, having
named the following:
The man Without Country, Edward
Everett Hale.
The Luck of Roaring Camp. Bret
Harte.
The Great Stone Face, Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
The Snow Image, Nathaniel Haw-
thorne.

ingtOn Irving.
Rip Van Wrinkle, Washington Irving.
Marse Chan, Thomas Nelson Page.
Marjorie Daw, Thomas Bailey AL
drich.
The Revolt of Mother, Mary E. Will
kins.
The same journal offered a second
prize for the best twelve books con-
tanning only one story. The prize was
awarded to G.. Adams, of New York,
for the following list:
Marjorie Daw, Thomas Bailey AL
drich.
Love in Old Cloathes, H. G. Bunner.
The Lady or the Tiger, Frank R.

A tolerably fair test, is the record of
public library, but this is not always
a sure one, for many books taken from
libraries are not read through, but
merely examined or glanced over in a
cursory way, without being read at all.
The most popular works may not al
ways be the best, and the question then
arises, what constitutes the best
books?''

The principle of arbitration is not
incompatible with the maintenance of
the dignity of the individual, or the
nation proposing to submit a dispute
to an arbiter, nor does it deny the
business of the position of either party
to the dispute. Some of the most
powerful nations of the world have had
recourse to this method when they have
been at Iogger-heads with another ma
ton. and when an amicable settlement
has been desired The results have
been almost uniformly satisfactory,
and have preserved the comfy of ma
lions, which in many cases could not
otherwise lave been accomplished.
Both Japan and Hawaii are fixed in
their positions in the present contro-
yersy. and arbitration is a solution.
1t is to be hoped that Japan will accept
the offer of this Government. The last
dispatches from the United States con-
tanned the information that Japan had
refused to arbitrate. This does not
coincide with the interview secured by
the associate editor of the Washington
Star with Count Okuma, in which he
stated that resort to arbitration might
be the alternative if the countries could
not come to an argument. The spirit
that prompts a refusal to submit dis
pute to disinterested statesmen for set
Element, when two countries cannot
agree, is the spirit that threatens the
commercial, moral and social prosper
ity of the nations.

Several new laws have recently been
enacted by Congress, which shipmas-
tiers should become acquainted with, as
a neglect of them makes the owners
and captains responsible in heavy pen
alties. The first refers to treatment of
sailors 1t calls for better accommoda-
tions for the crew on board, and pro-
vides heavy penalties for maltreat-
ment of seamen Every captain or
other officer of a vessel of the United
States, who, without justif1able cause,
beats, wounds or imprisons any of the
crew, or withholds suitable food and
nourishment, is punishable by a fine
not exceeding $1,000, or Imprisonment
for not more than five years, or by
both fine and Imprisonment. Crew
bonds are abolished, but owners and
masters are held liable in the sum OF
$500 for each sailor that is not returned
to the United States, unless the master
shows they have been properly dis
charged and paid off before a United
States Consular officer, or presents sat
isfactory evidence that the missing
sailor died, deserted or absconded.
The shipping articles have been
amended regarding punishment for
misconduct. Changes have also been
made in regard to the effects of de-
ceased sailors, sea stores and equip
ments of vessels plying between Am
erica and foreign ports. Some of these
