HIL0 AMI NhW YoRk.

The New Workers have more of
grievance against the Federal Govern
ment than Hilo has against the Gov
eminent of Hawaii. The n. Y. Tribune
charges that owing to the shallow was
ter over the Sandy Hook bar, large
steamers are driven away from New
York. and the commerce of the port is
suffering. For some years large steam
ers have crossed the bar only at high
tide.
1t publishes statistics showing that
from 1890 to 1896 only 81, 252, SEQ has been
expended in the harbor improvements
of that port, while 1926, 46S, 653 has been
spent elsewhere. Less than 1 per cent,
has been spent on n. Y. harbor, while
So cents out of every 100 cents of the
tariff revenues comes from that port.
The trade of New York is 800 times
greater than that of the Kentucky
river, while more money has been
spent by Congress on that river than
upon the great harbor.
The case of Hilo is not so disheart-
ening.. 1T has been vastly more infiu>
entail in the Hawaiian Legislature,
than the great metropolis of America
has been with Congress. We cite this
case, not in order to suggest that Hilo
has had enough, but to show that Con-
crosses and Legislatures are curious

TRUTH WANTED.

An instance of the way, by which
immigrants and farmers, are led astray
and are ruined, in entering new in
dustries, is furnished by the history Of
the prices of citrus fruit in California
In exploiting the citrus industry OF
the State. the land boomers, and their
allies, the newspapers, persistently
declared that the oranges Of California
were equal and really superior to
those grown in Florida. This state
ment was reiterated for years, and
entered into the estimates Of the horsi-
culturists.
When the California orange finally
began to appear in the Atlantic mar
kets it failed to bring the price OF the
Florida orange. The fact was that the
Florida orange, especially what was
called the Indian river kind, was more
juicy, sweeter, and had thinner skin
than the California orange. While the
agricultural papers, and the boom jour
nails of California were telling the in
experienced farmers how valuable
their oranges would be, the fruit trade
journals, circulating only among the
cold booded men engaged not in BOOM
ing land, but in the fruit trade, invarl-
bly, regarded the Florida oranges as
superior to the California, just as they
valued the sweet Delaware peach above
the "leathery" peach of California. But
the boom journals of California never
published this important information,
and left the orange growers in the
dark on the matter. To do so would be
to check the citrus boom.
Since the fatal freeze Of '95 in Flori
da, and the wide destruction Of the
orange trees, the California oranges
have commanded better prices. But,
it is said that only small proportion
of the groves pay.
We were told by the Florida Land
Commissioner in 1893, that after 20
years of growth, the orange industry
was in such a condition that one-half
at least of the groves did not pay ex-
penses, and that many hundreds OF
groves were abandoned. But he de-
clared that groves were excellent prop
erty, when managed by persons, who
studied the business and abandoned
boom" ideas as to high values. In
snite of many drawbacks he believed
in the industry.
The worst "pessimist" in the fruit
cultivation of Southern California, we
met in '96. He was one of the county
Horticultural Commissioners. He show
ed us a boom article on the price OF
| lemons then ruling The price quoted
was. we believe SO per box. He took US
to a lemon packing house where the
| farmers were paid only 81 per box.

We must sooner or later face the
music regarding the coffee industry. A
depression in it would injure the i'm
portant development of Hawaii. That
would be a national misfortune. There
is no lack of knowledge as to the best
ways of raising coffee. But the average
| annual yield, and the value OF the ber-
ry. in the large markets has yet to be
| determined.

Yes, Scrofula, if anything, may be called

facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invaria bly, succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years Of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended IS blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA NJ.

A Little Queen.. Loneliness.

Although the queen regent of Hol-
land has brought up her daughter as
simply as possible, yet there is always
certain amount of ceremony and
royal etiquette which must needs be
considered. The life of queen is not
all that can be desired. Alittle story is
told which pathetically illustrates the
loneliness of this little queens early
childhood. Wilhelmina when a small
child was once overheard by her gov
erness while scolding favorite doll as
follows: "1'ow, be good and quiet; be-
cause, if you don't, I will turn you into
a queen, and then you'll not have any
one to play with at all!"-St. Nicholas.

CHEROKEE SCHOLARS
Charming Indian Maidens Who Are
Well Educated.
Some OF Them Are Not Only Possessed

full and Renned-The
"SQuAwn Men. .:..:.-:

Long and painstaking investigation
by the experts of the United States
government, just completed, shows
that it is to the Indian girl the world
may have to look for the development
of her race.
A too general impression regarding
am Indian girl of to-day is that she is
an unkempt, coarse appearing crea-
ture, with none of the refinement char
acteristic of the white woman and d
general tendency toward degradation.
It has seemed to be almost impossible
to divorce the Indian girl from the
idea obtained through familiarity
with the story book squaw of othe1
days or the impression given by the
besotted Indian women one loung-
ing about the stations of the rail-
ways through New Mexico and Ari~
IONA.
1t is true that the majority of In
diam girls have black hair and black
eyes, but it is equally correct to say
that there are many perfect blends
among them, with roseleaf complex
ions that city bred woman would
envy them from the bottom of her
heart. Again, the complexion of the
Indian brunette is not muddy, but as,
clear and delicate as one would expect
in a woman who had led the ordinary
life of civilization.
AS a matter of fact, a proportion of
the full-blood Cherokee girls of to-
day would be thoroughly at home in
society and an ornament thereto.
They are almost always of fine figure
and graceful carriage, the only partic
ularly noticeable feature that per-
haps detracts in measure from their
good looks being the high cheek bones
that are apparent in even the six
teenth blood Indians. The voice of the
Indian girl is never hoarse or coarse,
but low and musical
The average Indian girl of 18 to-day
is possessed of a good education. To
be sure, she is not graduate of an
eastern female college, but she has
had ample opportunity to learn, and
has generally taken every advantage
of the chance thus afforded her. It is
no exaggeration to say that it is often
very difficult to distinguish one of
these Indian girls who has married
white man from the white. woman by
whom she may perhaps be standing.
During the last quarter of cen
fury the number of white men who
have married girls belonging to the
five civilized tribes has been astonish-
ing It must be remembered that
white man who marries an Indian girl
is generally adopted into the tribe to
which his wife belongs, and thereupon
receives many of the privileges of the
other members. Some people call
these whites "squaw" men, but, just
the same, they are among the best cit
liens of the naturalization Herald.

There is a powerful breed of dogs
along Smiths sound that does not hest

animals. These dogs hunt in pairs and
a big bear is a joke to them. One dog
can bring down a reindeer and kill it in

are severely trained to haul heavy loads

by stunning them with blows over the

Fishes IN Line.

1t is: not unusual at the Aquarium to
see in tank the fishes all together side
by side and heads in line like platoon
or section of men. They remain thus
for Q considerable time. Most fishes are
gregarious, they keep together in
schools in the water, and here they
seem to keep together for company's
sake. Sometimes all the fishes in a
tank but one will be lined UP in this
way side by side and headed in one di-
rection. while the single fish viii be
back of the others, and headed the
other way. Then the suggestion of
soldiers conveyed to the mind by the
fishes in line is strengthened. For the
single fish seems to be a rear guard,
looking out for the enemy in that di-
rection.-N. Y. Sun.

The ascent is, say, 500 feet, and almost

more than an hour for me to make the
