did for pleasure might be turned to
profit. She made few boxes of the
sweetmeats ana induced a neighboring

a second and larger lot, were quickly

received, chiefly from the collegans
Her next step was to get some plain
white boxes, pack the Judges in them,
and tie the boxes with a broad ribbon
of the college color. Having some lit

each ribbon band with the college
name and put this newly titled fudge
on her market. There was an imme-

The agricultural department has is
sued bulletin treating Of the probable
success Of the efforts of the denart-
ment to establish the Smyrna fig in
dustry in California. 1t appears that
the fruiting of the Smyrna fig is de-
pendent upon the introduction from
the south OF Europe and the establish
ment in California of a little insect
which fertilizes the fig. Experimental
introductions Of the insect were there
upon begun, and some Of them brought
over in 1898 have succeeded in pene-
trating the closed flowers of the Capri
hss growing at Fresno, making the
first step of the experimental work a
success. The bulletin adds: "Since
the insect has maintained itself for an
entire year there is reason to suppose
that 1t will continue to breed. and that
California in the near future will be
able to place a fig upon the market
which will possess the same superior
flavor as that which has given the i'm
ported Smyrna figs their pre-eminent
commercial rank"

So Says Former Queen LiliuOka1ni

Washington. Aug. G.-The Post prints

says what the people need there Is
some head TO the government. She
ADDS:

cause count myself one of my people)
have no laws but those which have
obtained for many years and n few
which have been fOisted upon us by
the Hawaiian republic.
.'There is no such thing as real JUS
tice. The native has not the same
standing when he goes to law with the
white man and even some Of the for
eigners find that they cannot obtain
their dues. The government is an
oIigarchy instead Of republic. Ca
price dictates the administration OF
affairs. speak with no bitterness
whatever. | am merely endeavoring
TO give a correct picture of the condi-
tions. The inhabitants of the islands
know nothing whatever Of their fate
or what sort of government will be
placed over them"
Liliuokalani expresses every CONN
dence in the honorable intentions or
America. and hopes when decision Is
made as to form of government for
the islands that the official will be ap-
pointed from this country.

Such is the tendency to specialism
in these days that Prof. Hadley, the
president-elect Of Yale. who is chiefly
known as political economist, would
doubtless shrink from being examined
in his fathers Greek grammar. But
after all, of what great use is the Greek
language to Americans? What we want
to know is the truth: What kind of
national. state or local legislation will
produce the greatest good to the great
est number? College endowments keep
collegfans away from a chance to get
at the truth. Whether Hadley's ideas
are wrong or right they will provoke
discussion in fertile field of reform.
