A man who stood in front of the bear
pit at the menagGric in Central park was
greatly Interested in observing just how
the Big grizzly bear took the peanuts that
one of the visitors was handing to him.
Tho bear stood mp at IN angle of about 40
degrees, hind feet on the floor of the pit,
one fore foot resting on the stone ledge in
which the bars OF the cage are Embedded,
the other extended through the bars to
take the peanuts. He did not clutch them
under his claws and then turn the claws
inward upon the Tall of his foot but when
he reached out through the bars he spread
his claws apart sideways, as one might
spread the fingers of his hand apart. The
visitor would place peanut between two
of the claws, and then the bear would
close the claws together, as one would
close the fingers Of his outstretched hand.
He would hold the peanut between two
claws in the same manner that man
sometimes holds II cigar between two fin
gers. Holding it thus, the bear would
carry the PEANUT to his mouth then,
thrusting his paw out between the bars
again, he would open his claw out side
ways as before, waiting for another.
81 suppose itmuSt he an acquired taste, "
said u solemn faced bystander, referring to
the bears apparent fondncss for peanuts.
~ don't know" said another man.
I'm net so sure bat what there are some
places where grizzlies live that peanuts
grow.
THAT may be-" said the solemn faced
man, but I'm sure there's no place where
they grow baked. New York Sun.

COST OLE GARBAGE BURNING

An exchange says the city of Lowell,
Mass, with a population of $4,000 in
habitants, burns its garbage for about
so cents a ton. The cost of operating
its plant for one week, during which
100 tons of garbage was burned, was
Ss0.7j. Burning at the rate of 100 tons
per week, the cost of operating such
a furnace is about $4,000 per year.

States legislates with the presump-
ton that it has the right, for it's
own welfare, to pass restrictive or
prohibitive immigration laws. In
ternational law presents no obstacle
to this course. But Japan has
challenged it in the case of Hawaii.
Japan this year is spending $780,
100000 on her army and navy, or
about three times the amount ap-
propriated for the same purpose
by the United States. Hawaii nat
urally looks with apprehension on
the rise of new power in the
Pacific, and is justified in seeking
to merge he sovereignty in some
nation strong enough to give assur-
ance of safety, peace and prosperity.
She will escape from Mongolian
future if she can, and her second
offer of annexation to the United
States will probably be the last.
If we do not want her there are
other nations that do, and it is far
cical to talk of controlling the af-
fairs of Hawaii after serving final
notice upon her that annexation as
one of our territories is not desired.

Literary Note.

With the exception of the noted
Worlds Fair number of the Cosmo-
poLatGn, which reached the price of
five dollars acopy after the last
edition had been exhausted, no
stronger number of this magazine
has ever been issued than that of
July, 1897. The report of Julian
Hawthorne, the Special Commits
sioner sent by the Cosmopolitan to
India to investigate the horrors of the.
plague and famine, is of an extra
ordinary character, and will open
the eyes of the world to conditions
which were scarcely suspected. The
same number contains what is prob
ably the greatest poem of this quar-
ter of the nineteenth century. This
new rendering of Omar Khayyam's
Rubaiyat, which departs entirely
from Fitzgerald's, occupies four
pages. Amelie Rives reappears as
a story-teller for the first time since
her marriage with Prince Trou-
betzkoy. One of the cleverest stories
yet from the pen of Robert w.
Chambers is given. The remark
able story of the War of the Mar
tians, by Wells, which is attracting
the attention both of the scientific
and non-scientific good-story-loving
public, is continued, and there is
fourth story by a'Becket, elaborate
ly illustrated by the humor of Peter
Newell. The educational discussion

versity, on "The Bankruptcy of

these are some of the contents of

THE FUTURE OF HAWAII.

Those who oppose the annexation
Of Hawaii should state their pos
ition definitely. It will no longer
serve the purpose to speak vaguely
on the subject. All who think that
the little republic in the Pacific
should be left to shift for itself
should say so; and those who favor
soma kind 2of pfotectorate by this
country should define it, and de-
clare how far we should be willing
to go to defend it. In the past we
have saved the islands from the
dominion of England and of France.
Our interpositi"n meant war if our
protest had been disregarded. Twice
within the past FIVE years Hawaii
has offered to. annex itself to the
United States. A change of admin
.istration four years ago defeated
the movement at that time. The
second offer is before the Senate in
the form of a treaty that will COM
plete the annexation if that body ap-
proves it. There are some who favor
its rejection, and as the affirmative
side have stated precisely what they
propose, their opponents should an
nounce their views with exactness.
Foggy ideas of control without
ownership will not answer. The
time has come to act, for or against,
and to drop uncertain generalities.
One imminent danger in Hawaii
is that its population may become
Mongolianized. Too many Chinese
and Japanese immigrants have al
ready settled there. According to
the Hawaiian census of the present
year the japanese number 1922
and the Chinese 19,167 in a total
population of 1O9,O20l More than
half the male population is Mon
golian. Recently the Government
of Hawaii excluded certain Japan
ese immigrants. taken to Honolulu
by a Japanese steamship, and this
is the ground on which Japan de-
mands an indemnity. If the Re-
public ofs Hawaii is not strong
Eenough to follow the example OF
this country in shutting off horde
l of Asiatic immigrants, it will be
overwhelmed by the superhuous
millions of China and Japan, and
its status, as an independent power
completely changed. Y 's'' ,"'se
