What They Think in Paris.

Paris, June 1.-THE Temps referring
to the proposed annexation of Hawaii by
the United States says:
1--WE regard the annexation Of Hawaii
less as the result of carefully consid-
cred plan than as an attempt to relegate
to obscurity the dangerous, thorny affairs
Of Cuba. President Mckinley evidently
imagines that in throwing to the
Chauvinists this bone to pick, ], he will
procure a momentary respite. This cal
culation, too, is probably erroneous, be-
cause nothing will SO contribute to
strengthen aggressive pan-Americans
and whet the appetite for Cuba as this
first taste at the expense of little Hawaii. u

Committee VIII Take Up Treaty.

Washington, June l7.-Senator Davis,
chairman of the Senate committee on
foreign relations said today that the COM
mitttee would take up the Hawaiian treaty
at the next regular meeting, which will
be held on Wednesday of next week, but
that no special meeting would be held for
that purpose.
He said that the treaty would in any
event be held in committee a sufficient
length of time to permit all sides to be
heard, but that the time would be con-
trolled somewhat by the indications as to
whether the Senate would consider the
treaty at the present session. On this
latter point the Senator declined to ex-
press an opinion.

The Post, however, expresses the
Germany has long regarded Hawaii as
within the sphere Of American interests
and can scarcely find any pretext either
to question the right of the United States
to annex or to interfere by protest or OBJ

Treaty Made Public.
Washington, June 17.-The Senate in

The drinking customs of American are
distinguished from those of other civilized
countries only by the habit of treating.
In England four men will sit at the table
of public house and each will pay for
his liquor. In American one will pay for
the four. Then another pays in turn. In
England this means social intercourse In
are probably 500 anti-treat societies Tbe,,

around the sleeves are very much
used, and so are strips of insertion
and bands Of silk and satin. In fact,
you cannot trim up a sleeve too
much.
People who have the big old sleeves
on their winter dresses are making
them fashionable by clever little de-
vices. One of these is to shir the
sleeve around the arm at intervals Of
two inches. A little ribbon is then
run around each shirring and tied in
a little bow at the back of the arm.
This is continued almost to the Shout
der, but at the top the sleeve stands
out full.
You see very few sleeves of contrast
ing material, although the sleeveless
jacket is much worn in the form of a
bolero. The hands Of the sleeve are
trimmed with ruff1es of the same ma
terial or of silk or lace, or, if left
plain, cuffs are to be worn.
1t is pleasant to be able to record
that winter fashions will be quite
economical, because it will be so very
easy to make over last winters styles
into this seasons modes. Even the
skirt can be rehabilitated, for it needs
only ruffle or a band to put it in
style.
They say-but this is state secret
that economical women are taking
advantage of the present fashions by
covering up worn spots with con-
venient flounces and bows, but of this
l can only make mention, in the alb
sence of absolute authority.

ed It to an orphan asylum. where poor
children go to live and learn to till the
soil. A course Of study was mapped
out, by which the pupils learned the
months OF seed-time and harvest. They
fected by frost and which ones were
hardy. They learned that peas would
grow up through the snow and be
ready to send forth their blossoms at
the melting of the ice upon the ground.
They learned also that lima beans
were tender things and could not be
planted in climates where there was
danger of June frost.
These things are learned by farm
er at great expense. Experience is his
only teacher, and the Gould faculty"
maintained that one reason for the
chronic poverty Of the farmer was his
lack of actual knowledge of agricul-
ture.
There were many letters written to
the Secretary of Agriculture at Wash
ington, and many advices received
from the Department concerning fruits
dren learned what to plant and when
to plant it, and what kind Of soil
would produce certain things.
1t is matter of statistics that in
certain parts of North Carolina the
finest cold-weather fruit can be raised
all summer, such as winter apples and
November pears, and that in other
parts the tropical cantelope grows
freely. These facts are all capable of
being put in book form and studied by

A pretty tailor made gown especial
ly adapted to a slender, girlish figure
is made of Scotch cheviot. The skirt
is a godet of Scotch plaid, blue and

The corsage is a blouse Of dark blue

in a double breasted way and is held
with a single big green pearl button.

The Flower Mission is not for the

To the mind of the uninitiated a
flower mission is a sentimental thing,
dealing with the finer qualities of hu-
man nature and fostering the emotions
rather than the practical side of life.
But the women who have been en-
gagged in New York city for the past
three years upon the work Of a flower
mission could tell you different story.
So could the men who have assisted
them, for it is becoming more than a
woman's work-a general field for the
labor Of philanthropists.
The flower mission as it stands in
New York to-day, and as it is repre-
sented at the flower show, which takes
place every Autumn, is practical

There was something very attractive
