value of the fruit exported
is $750,OOO annually and most of il goes
TO the London market. But The Azor-
cans have not the chance that we have
i'm the Hawaiian Islands. Their fruit
has to he grown under glass, our fruit
is grown in the open. The expense of
growing should be smaller, but pre-
sumably is not, for the Azore Islands
belong to those unfortunate countries
where labor is about ten cents a day,
the laborer sees meat once in blue
moon and the small capitalist finds a
hundred per cent profit on his loans.
The Azores are a good country to emil
CRATE from.
However, the Azores have a good
market comparatively close to them.
We have a market, but it is not an in
exhaustible one. There are no mil
lions to eat up our pines. The effort
now being successfully made to can
Hawaiian pines gives a solution to our
difficulty. If we could only hit upon
a similar plan for bananas it would
be an excellent thing for the Islands.
But the dessicated banana, though an
excellent product, does not commend
itself to the average housewife. Some
thing might be done with them if they
were pushed, but no one seems in
clined to undertake the business risk.
There is no doubt, however, that
pineapple culture has come to stay. A
few years ago all the pineapples used
to come from Kona, and very scrub af-
fairs they were. Now we have large
plantations upon this island and upon
Maui, where the plants are of choice
varieties and are properly cultivated.
We have every opportunity of making
a big success of the industry, a minor
one certainly, but it is minor indus
tries that help to build up the wealth
and prosperity of country. Of course
a country must have two or three
great staples, but the more diversified
its minor industries are the better for
the people at large.

THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.

The so-called Bubonic plague is Civ
ing good deal of anxiety to the Gov
ernments of Europe and may do so to
the Government here. Our constant
communication with the East makes
us liable to contagion, though 1t must
be said to the credit of the Board of
Health that the greatest precautions
are taken for keeping out all disease.
This Bubonic plague is what in the
middle ages was known as the ''black
death" This, in the fourteenth CEN
fury swept over Europe and carried off
some 25,O0O,OOO lives. SO Dad was it
were deserted and the fields left I'M
titled for years. But in those days the
principles of hygiene were unknown
and population fell readily prey to
filth disease. 1t is this same Bubonic
plague which swept away so many
Londoners in the time of Charles H.
This is better known to most people
because it has been so much written
about. Defoe started the most bril-
liant account, which was for many
years thought to be a transcript of
some original document and not a
work of fiction, pure and simple, as it
has since been proved to be. a host of
minor writer's have tried their pens
upon its hideous and its picturesque
scenes. Towering above these rises
Ainsworth in his odd st. Pauls." Does
anyone read Harrison Ainsworth now?
He was the idol of the boys of nearly
half century ago. He had a wonder
full power of describing the horrible
and he certainly let himself loose over
the plague. There was scene where
the grave diggers were carousing
among the collins that was quite suf-
ticient to drive sleep from ones eyes
for hours, and a description of the pits
into which the bodies We're thrown
was wonderfully realistic and horrible
in its accuracy of detail.
But there have been far greater in,
stances of the awful effects of this
plague than ever occurred in London.
Only London has been written up. On
one occasion an outbreak of the plague
carried off 100000 people in Naples and
its vicinity-and Naples is a far small
Ter city than London was in the time
of Charles II. Lubbock, comparative
ly small place, lost 10000 inhabitants,
and Norwich, on another occasion, lost
over $4,000.
Enough is known about the plague
to make any community dread it. But
at the same time, from all one can read
upon the subject, a community that
keeps its back slums clean has not
much to fear. 1t might be well for
the Board of Health to look into our
back slums, for since cholera time
there has been woeful deterioration
in the cleanliness of said places. If the
price of liberty is eternal vigilance, the
price of health is even more so.

BARGAINS in crockery
come, not from er-buying,
but through breaking sets for
customers. Odd pieces have
less commercial value to us
than full sets, but to the pur-
chaser there is no difference.
We have a vast number of
broken tea sets, odd cups and
saucers, breakfast, dinner and
tea plates, and glassware. All
these have been massed to-
gether to form the foundation
for a bargain week. The
prices are a third off cost, and
for cash there will be a dis
count. That means that the
goods will go to everyone for
the same average price, for the
reason that with the reduction
and discount the prices will be
too low to admit Of loss of
interest accommodating on time
accounts.
This sale will last one week
beginning Monday, February
%. The opportunity to secure
this class of goods at such low
prices will not occur again in
a twelve-month, and ladies
who wish to fill up the vacant
spaces in their pantrles should
avail themselves of it.

According to the best sources OF in
formation. the worlds supply OF cotton
in 1895 aggregated lS.2OO,O)O bales, or
1880. 600. 900 pounds. OF this immense
crop iO.5OO.OOO bales were produced In
the United States; 100000 In India
and G34.OOO In Egypt The remaining
bales were produced In the various
parts OF the globe. In different coun-
tries different standards OF measure
ment obtain. and In no two countries
is the weight OF bale OF cotton exact
ly the same The American bale aver
ages 45O pounds. the Indian bale 400
pounds, and the Egyptian bale M
pounds. Some idea OF the vast extent
OF the worlds cotton area may be gath
cred from the fact that In the United
States alone II covers over 10000. 900
acres. In 1880 the worlds total output
OF cotton aggregated only $4,000. 900
pounds or eleven times less than in
1895. within a single decade. However,
the product almost doubled. amounting
in 1910 to 1892. 0OO.O 900 pounds. Since
