INSECT PESTS.

The harm that insects, imported
into the country, can do is exempli-
fed in very forcible manner in
Massachusetts,, which State has
spent $3.50, 900 since 1890 in trying
to get rid of the gypsy moth.
This moth was imported twenty
years ago by Leopold Thionvelt, a
French entomologist. He brought
some eggs over from Europe to ex-
pertinent with silk worms, and it is
supposed that some of them blew
out of his window and started the
colony. Whatever the caterpillars
of this moth attack, whether tree or
shrub, is completely stripped OF
every vestige of leaves.
Another moth has now appeared
which is causing alarm, viz, the
brown-tailed moth of Europe. This
is supposed to have been imported
among young trees.
On these islands we have already
had our warning with the japanese
beetle. Whether the Japanese beetle
came from Japan or Timbuctoo
matters very little-it is here, ant
is great pest it has killed oul
roses, has attacked other trees, bu
has not, as yet, commercially in
jured us. But it has given Us quit,
a fJretaste of what can be accom-
plished by an imported insect pest
to make the authorities doubly care
FIJI as to any plants imported from
any part of the globe.
An insect, an animal or a plan
which, in its original habitat, is no
necessarily serious pest, because

A carpenter is known by the
tools he keeps. Many car
penters can do good work with
inferior tools, but it stands to
reason that better ones will do
better and quicker work. 1t
is our wish that every carpen-
ter in town call at our stores
this week and see our stock of
carpenters tools; we have
everything he wants. We are
always on the lookout for
novelties and necessities that
will expedite and simplify the
labor of the mechanics, and we
are confident that the good
things spoken of below will
do so.
Balsley's patent screw driver
and holder is the most unique
tool ever placed on the mar
ket. By a simple arrange
ment the screw is held in posi-
ton as firmly as though it
were a portion Of the driver
itself. The tool can be adj
I.justed to fit any size of head in
a fraction Of a second.
Oil stones are used constant
ly, and should be kept free
from grit or dust. The handy
oil stone, set in a wooder
frame with wooden cover, is 6
gem.
We have an immense stocl
Of carpenters tools, such as
spokeshaves, iron planes, wooc
planes, chisels, AIDES, ratchet
braus, steel squares, Jennings
expansion bits, avis and tools
(self contained) and very
handy, hack saws and hanc
saws, saw sets, gauges, car
penters', engineers and far
riers' hammers, rules and pen
ellis and a thousand and on
other things.
What we sell we know i
the best to be had and we sci
as cheap as any other house il
town.

During DR.. Days visit to japan
he analysed the water of the Ku-
satsu springs, near Yokohama.
Should he find that the Japanese
can prove satisfactorily that cure
has been effected by this water, the
Board of Health will construct an
artificial lake, the water Of which
will be impregnated with exactly
the same minerals that the Kusatsu
springs are. The Board of Health
is ever alive to anything that is for
the advantage of those whose mis-
fortunes have made them its wards,
and no stone is left unturned, MOI
expense spared to find means Of
permanent cure. The hope of every
one is that DR., Day may have sue
cess with his experiment.

A NEEDLESS SCARE.

Those opposed to annexation
frequently harp upon the string of
danger to the United States from
taking into the body polite the
Hawaiian population. They never
pause to think how utterly absurd
the contention is. There is more
dangerous material to the United
States passes through Castle Garden
in six months than in the whole Ha
waiian OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
Asiatic-if it were swallowed holus
bolus, which there is no intention
of asking the United States to do.
Carl Schurz is vastly troubled
over the introduction into our
body polite of elements ofdemoraliz-
alton and disorder far more danger
Gus, and problems of race and of
social antagonism far more per-
picking, than any we have had, so
far, to contend with" And he
makes this statement over the taking
in of population of some fifty odd
ttou sand, for the Asiatic portion of
our population would not be taken
in; annexation will no more MAKE
a Chinaman or a Japanese voter
than he is now.
Ignorant and incongruous races
have poured into the United States
during the last fifteen years at the
rate of anywhere from 800, 900 to
100000 per year, and they must
have afforded problems of trace
and social antagonism which
would be mountains as compared
with the little population of Hawaii
The population of Hawaii, which
would be assimilated by the United
States, is peculiarly a good one
1t is not turbulent, it has no socia
antagonisms, it is remarkably free
from crime, and is far superior il
point of literacy to other commune
ties. Of Hawaiians over six yeai {
of age S3.97 per cent. can read anc
write, and 262I per cent. can reac
and write English. Of the par
Hawaiians oI.2I can read and write
and 69.2I can read and write
English. The hordes that have
passed through Castle Garden coulc
make no such showing as this.
The Hawaiians, part Hawaiians
Portuguese and other European
foreigners will assimilate easily with
the people of the United States
Their ways Of thought are muct
the same ; they read the newspapers
and are well-informed. From then
there is nothing demoralizing OF
disorderly" to be feared. 1t would
be we'll for United States citizenship
if all the people who enter its Dor
ders and enjoy the political privil
eyes Of the Great Republic were
capable OF being as good ana intel
ligent citizens as the Hawaiians.

A StOreOtyped Lie.

The Oregonian, of Portland, says:
"Plenty of fertile land is to be had
at the South at $40 to $15 an acre,
fit for any kind of agriculture, but
few vast 1t, because the inhabitants
are unfriendly and inhospltable to
those who come among them. In
stead of welcoming them, as Yves
tern community, the farming pOpula-
ton in a Southern country is full of
talk Of 'our' way, warn strangers not
to NEEDLE in politics and run them
out of the country if they do. Of
course, no man of spirit, intelligence,
independence, industrial and fnan-
cial value will settle amoung such a
people, and Until the South changes
its mood in this respect, it will con-
tinue to have plenty Of cheap land
with no takers" And, OF course, no
one with a grain of sense is going to
believe a word of this nonsense. The
South invites settlers to come to its
fertile lands and be welcome. If
the settlers have hankering for pol
iticS. jump into that, too. There is
not much in it, but they are Welcome
to get out of it what they can.
