ton Is great and labor has been cheap.
1t Is dearer now, as Its price has In
creased with the increase of demand,
In pursuance of the natural law.
The area of the islands is 6,840 square
miles and according to the last census
they contain population Of $1,000, d.
vided as follows: "a, 436 natives, 1891
Chinese, 1880 Japanese and S,602 Por-
tug1lese. The remainder is composed
OF Americans, Englishnen, Germans
and sprinkling Of other continental
nationaAties. This census was taken
in 1890, and there Is no doubt that at
present the foreign admiXture Is mich
stronger, particularly Of Americans and
Japanese. There Is no doubt, either,
that the native population is less. II
has been dwindling for many years.
When Captain Cook discovered the ISL
ands he found n people numbering APP
proximately 100000. Civilization and
civilizations diseases have proved too
much for them. They have not been
slain In warfare, nor crowded unhealth-
dly together, as is the case with the
American Indian. They have simply
died out. They have no aggressive
ness and 10 providence. Like all ma
tives OF southern ATTITUDES, they are In
dolent. Nature provides them subs
sdstence with little effort on their part.

they do not class with the Portuguese
for Japanese, or even with the Chinese.
They require more food and soon die
under toll.
The annexation of the Hawaiian ISL
ands has been made possible by chain
of events all crowded into century.

The Ovster.

The oyster has no greater enemy than
the starfish. 1t appears difficult how
ever. for a fish to open the shell Of an
oyster. which requires certain
amount of skill even with an oyster
knife; but the starfish has a peculiar
method of leverage upon the opening
of the two shells which the oyster can
not resist. Biologists used to think
that the starfish simply starved the
oyster until 1t opened Of its own ac-
cord: but observation has shown that
by the pressure it applies the bivalve
speedily becomes a victim to its In
genious enemy.

MISS LEPINA. EQUESTRIENNE.

Italian Girl Who Charms the World
with Dashing Horsemanship.
Novel readers may remember that In
one of Charles Levers rollicking stories
the hero, a dashing Irish dragon, Ia
made to leap his horse over small
cart in Portuguese street. At cir
Gus in Berlin recently Miss Pepina, a
young Italian girl, performed the as
tondshing feat Of jumping her favorite
mare across an open victoria In which
four men were seated. This young
woman was born In Trieste, Austria,

been charged that the American minis

American naval officers who were
there with a ship, participated morally,
II not physically, In this rape of king
dom. Representative Blount, of Geor-

one-man commission Of investigation
by President Cleveland, so reported IN

the American flag. an act which filed
some thousands of newspaper columns
with comment for and against
Present Government.
On the 18th Of July, 1894. was formed
the government, which Is called re-
public, but is really an oligarchy. It's
constitution is in some degree modelled
upon that of the United States. San
