COMMERCE OF SAMOA.

Though the Germans have always
pretended to superior rights in Samoa,
on account of the large share of its
business in their hands, the statistics
of commerce do not bear them out. In
1896, for example, there were entered
at the port of Apia 80 British vessels,
of 1854 tons; % American vessels, of
35,357, and only II German vessels, of
2,215 tons. They stand better in land
titles In 1894 an impartial commits
sion confirmed to Germany $4,000
acres, to Great Britain $4,000 acres, and
to this country 81 900 acres. America
was the first to make treaty with the
Samoan government, in 1878, Germany
following in 1879, and Great Britain
six months later. Therefore it was the
United States that opened Samoa TO
civilized intercourse. Samoa is AGO
miles from the United States, 2,240
| from Hawaii and $4,000 from Germany.

EDITOR P. C. A.-Your notice in

of the Treasury Department is very in

us that so large part of earth's sur
face and population is colonial

know that their government comes to
a pretty high figure.
We have lately found out that be-
sides the extravagantly paid colonial

cayed Spanish nobility. 1 am quite
sure that the colonial officers Of other
colonies are paid many times more
than those of the United States will
receive
AS it is expected that colonies will
pay for their own government, it would
be interesting to us citizens Of Hawaii
to know what our probable expenses
will be, compared with other colonies
of about the same size. We know tha
in the Hawaiian bill before Congress:
the Governors salary is put down a
$4,000 and that of the secretary a
$4,000. This is about what is paid tt
the governors of territories in tn
United States. This territorial form o
government is just the kind that will
de exercised in the case of our ney
colonies, and it is therefore mistak
to suppose that the United States hav
had no experience in colonial govern
ments. There was a time when tn
Western territories were more distan
in time and more inaccessible than ar
the islands of Hawaii.

and $4,000 to a native Hawaiian lease

Expansion In the sheen rrade.

The present year bids fair to witness
remarkable advance in the interest
manifested in flock husbandry, says
The Breeders Gazette. Rising values
Of wool always turn attention to
sheep, and the advance now plainly
evident has set farmer and ranchman
to planning to take on few more
sheep. The steady growth of the NUT
ton trade, the advance in wool and the
comparatively high price Of cattle are
the chief factors now influencing the
expansion of the sheep breeding in
dustry. A keen demand is reported
from all over the country. The focks
Of breeders will be strongly REINFORCED
by importations. A large number of
orders have been placed abroad, chiefly
for Shropshires, and buyers now in
England are making quite a competi-
ton for the top lots. Show sheep are
being purchased in liberal quantities,
SO that it is now well assured that the
sheep departments at the leading state
fairs will furnish sensational exhibits.

Go From Home For News.

Some Of our alleged cousins across
the water have strange notions regard
ing the methods Of American courts.
During the trial Of case in an Irish
court recently the judge announced
an adjournment. One of the counsel
objected to such an adjournment and
asked his lordship to take a note Of
the objection.
Indeed l shall not" said his lord
ship. "There is certain amount of
discretion allowed to the judge, and a
worm must turn some time"
'Well," said the counsel, 81 saw in

winding, they promised themselves a
last boat ride together. At last he
said mentally that he would give him
self this one more and last privilege,
and she had made her plans to say
goodby and go tomorrow. In wide
leghorn hat and white dress with
blue ribbons Miss Milvain sat at the
tiller and Mr.. Grote took the oars
Two hours later a fisherman brought
them back in his little ill smelling sail
boat, with Mr. Grote in an agony of
self reproach and Miss Nilvain white
and shivering, covered by an old tar
paulin. What had happened? Some
said it was the tiller, some the oars,
but the old fisherman, who knew all
kinds of fish, declared: ''They was
baitin hooks. She was baitin her'n fer
him and he his'n fer her. Caught?

''Well," Grote thought miserably as
he lifted Miss Ailvain from the boat,

DON'T Trust Bulls.

Under no circumstances should the
bull be trusted, either when being han
died by an attendant or when running
loose in the yard as there are so many
cases on record where they have be-
come unruly and attacked their at

bull a year old or over should always
be dehorned and have a ring inserted
in his nose. with rope attached for han
ding by. And whenever it is possible
the bull should be handled by grown

and firmer treatment than if taken

PinchinR Flowers.

A peculiar species Of climbing plant
grows. in Brazil. Its flowers are pro-
vided with fiat, horny plates, situated
above the nectar cups in the center of
the blossom and which are called
"pinching bodies" When an insect
thrusts it's proboscis into the nectar.
the plates pinch it fast, and on it's de-
parture the insect must either carry off
the pollen masses Of the flower or
leave it's proboscis behind. In the
former case the pollen is likely to
reach and fertilize another flower; in
the latter, the unfortunate insect, de-
prived Of it's proboscis, dies. Sometimes
the legs, as well as the noses, of in
sects are found sticking in the flowers.
Only the bumblebee appears to be
strong enough always to escape ampu-
tatiOn.

that for the sake of that one little

DISEASE OF CATTLE.
Charlton, the Sixth Plague of Egypt
In the Time of Moses.

OnArDOn, the S1xtn fl0&ue OF E8ypt
In the Time of Moses.
Dr.. Sidney L. Theard, sanitary officer
of the New Orleans board Of health,
has made a study of charbon, the dis
ease which has killed so many mules,
horses and cattle In Louisiana and
southern Mississippi during the spring
just past and which still prevails there
to an alarming extent. He has reached
the conclusion that incubation with
the serum Of an immunized animal Is
an absolute safeguard against the dis
ease. He also states that all parts of
the bodies Of animals that have died
of Charlton are actually poisonous and
says cremation Of the bodies is i'm
perative.
Great care must be exercised in hand
ling animals suffering from the disease,
as there are number of instances Of
human beings contracting it in that
way. Only recently man died of the
poison in the charity hospital at New
Orleans, and several others similarly
afflicted have been successfully treat
ed there this season.
Nor is the disease confined to the
south. 1t has made it's appearance
near Chicago within the last two
months, and report says it is prevalent
among the cattle in parts of Iowa and
Wisconsin and in central Illinois.
Charlton has been known under vari-
GUS names from the earliest ages, and
one authority declares that it was the
sixth plague sent upon Egypt as pun
ishment for the obstinacy Of Pharaoh
in holding the children Of Israel in
bondage, after he had been command
ed by God to let them go. 1t is de-
scribed by Homer in the first book of
the Had, and Ovid gives minute de-
scription of it in the ninth book of the
Metamorphoses.
In the majority Of cases Charlton is
of miasmatic origin; that is, the spores
of Charlton exist in the soil. The trans
mission from soil to animal may occur
by cutaneous incubation, and in few
hours the germs have multiplied SO
rapidly as to throw the afflicted animal
into violent fever. 1t begins as
small, dark red spot, on which soon ap-
pears pustule or vesicle. 1t sloughs
and spreads rapidly, causing violent
fever and speedy death.
The ravages of the disease in Lou
isiana especially have been very disas-
trous. Large plantations have been
stripped of every horse and mule with
in a day or two, and the profits Of
years swept away, while small farm
ers have been ruined.-Memphis Scim-
