REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY.


What the Republican party has done
for the country can be gathered from
the following statement.
In ]. Sterling Norton's Conservative"
He says:
"A glance at the following figures,
will show the almost unprecedented in
crease since 1895 in the value of the
things the farmer produces. In the
years between 1895 and 1899 the annual
value of the farmers principal crops in
creased as follows: Corn, from $544,-
9SS, 5S4 to 1929 ,21O,11O, or 16 per cent;
wheat, from 1921, 93S, 1888 to 1919, 545, 269,
or "a per cent oats, from 163,655,06S to
$19S, 167, 975, or 16 per cent; cotton, from
$3.50, 1896, O96 to 1892 GOO, OOO or 81 per cent;
tobacco, from $35,57422O to $45, 1000, 900, or
80 per cent; fax, from $4,000, 900 to $24,-
600 900, or 100 per cent. The total value
of the crops of 1899 measured by a gold
standerd were 1922, 900, 900 more than the
value of those of 1895.

sunk into the minds OF the Westerners.
The Cawnpore incident had sunk into
the minds of all VINO were In the be-
lcagured embassy and undoubtedly the
ambassadors. their wives, children,
friends and escorts saved their lives by
their determination to fight the matter
out to the bitter end. II was better TO
die lighting in the entertainments than
to massacred outside.
Given provisions and plenty of am
munition, and small force can main
tain itself practically indefinitely even
where shell fire is used. At Lady
smith, at Kimberly. at Mafeking shell
fire was showered, but the casualties
were not large and finally people be-
came accustomed to it. At Picking the
reports say that some 1000 shells were
hurled into the legation, but the results
do not seem adequate to the expendi-
ture of powder and iron.
Shell fire against troops in the open
is effective and demoralizes. 1t fairly
frightens men who may be thoroughly
brave. But against entertainments it is
evidently ineffective and all recent
warfare has shown it. Behind a gun
in a ditch a man is worth at least ten
men.

1.-THE scientific cultivation of beets
for the purpose of securing improved
seed dates back to 1850, when individual
beets found to be especially rich in SUI
gar were first selected for this purpose.
This plan has been carefully adhered
to ever since, the best results being OBJ
tanned at Klein Wanzleben, near Mag
deburg, German beet-seed raisers
have thus succeeded in distancing all
their foreign competitors. Fifty years
ago, beets containing 10 to ~ per cent
of sugar were considered good; but now
an average of IA to l6 per cent is not
uncommon, and in exceptional cases
still better results are reached. In the
meanwhile, the percentage of sugar in
sugar cane has remained unchanged,
namely, about IL per cent in medium
qualities" This is well worth the con-
sideration of our chemists and cultiva-
tors. The statement is taken from a
Consular report upon the fiftieth annual
convention of manufacturers and
others interested in the German sugar
industry held at Magdeburg. The state
ment with regard to cane sugar may or
may not be true. If 1t is true 1t shows
that we ought to look still more sharp
ly after our scientific cultivation of
cane.

A LESSON.

The defence made at the Picking en-
bassies emphasizes what it is possible
TO do with modern weapons if a small
force in entrenched. The force within
the British embassy could not have
numbered more than four hundred
hghting men. Outside there were prac-
tically millions, Yet for over two
months that little force defended itself
and finally came out safe. The more
one thinks of it, the more gallant does
the defense seem. Isolated from the
world, with hope of rescue deferred
making the heart sick, that little band
OF Westerners held on. Nothing took
them from their post. They were pre-
pared to die there, they would not
leave.
1t is evident that Aslatic duplIcity has

The question of having the convention
at Hilo is not at all Objectionable. If
however it is simply political move of
clique it is Objectionable. That Hilo
should have a chance of the honor of
entertaining the delegates no one will
gain say. OF course there are steamer
matters to consider but these are but
details. For instance it may not be as
easy for the Kauai delegates to go to
Hilo, as it is to come to Honolulu. The
convenience of Honolulu is because it is
central while Hilo is not. Special
steamers, however, will overcome that
difficulty.

Russia is not so destitute of news
papers as many people think. There
are in all 779 journals and newspapers
published in that Empire. OF these 6S1
are published in Russian, IS in Polish,
AZ in German, which are of course
chiefly issued in the Baltic Provinces,
though one at least appears in St.
Petersburg. In French eight appear,
and curiously enough the official paper,
the Journal de st. Petersburg is issued
in that language. There are six in Am
erican, two in Hebrew five in Caucas-
ian and the rest are purely church pa
pers. OF real live newspapers, however,
there are none.

The removal of the squatters on the
Aala Park reservation will be a public
benefit. The squatters had no right
there in the first instance, but because
of the distress caused by the Chinatown
fire, they were allowed to camp for a
time. Since then the place has become
practically a series of opium joints. The
whole lot of shacks should be burned
up as soon as the jewellers have got out.
The place is breeding spot of disease.

Road Supervisor Campbell has pro-
missed to begin work on the road from
King street to Oahu prison next Satur-
day. This will be good news to people
having to use the thoroughfare. By
some strange oversight no work has
been done on this road in four years,
while it has repeatedly been cut up
for the accommodation of dredger pipes
and for other purposes.

The report that a Chinaman from
Honolulu died of plague on board the
Coptic is to be taken with very many
grains of salt There is no proof that
the man came from here, and there is
also no proof that he even died of pla-
que. Doctors make many errors of dia-
gnosis and Sims doctors are hardly the
most reliable authorities.

WOM-N'S PAY IN RUSSIA.
Those Who Work for q Living Get
Small Remunerat for Their
Services.

"Can women practice law in Russia"
The question was asked Of Miss Alice
6erber, the woman lawyer, by a writer
In Success. Miss Serber replied:
70, no! the great majority of the
men Of my native land would be hor-
rified at the idea. The women OF Rus
pia who desire or are forced to work
for their living can become dressmakers
st a dollar and half to two dollars o
week; they can be school teachers at
little more. None Of the professions
Is open to them, except medicine. and
for this they must have certain high
statys in society, ard must have large
means to defray the great expenses Of
the women's course at the university.
There is a considerable number of
women doctors in Russia, but most Of
them studied and obtained their diplo-
mas in Switzerland. where the atti-
tude toward ambitious women is much
more liberal than in the domains of
the car. A woman servant in Russia
is doing well to receive $40 a year for
her services. The wives and daughters
of the peasants work harder than the
men. They bear nearly an equal share
in the labor of the fields, and in ad-
dition have all their household duties

CLEOPATRA USED COSMETICS.
The Worlds Most Beautiful Woman
Used Artificial Aids to
Comeliness.

When Cleopatra made captive the
heart Of Mark Anthony, the victor OF
Philippi, she was "a years old. AT this
age women of the orient begin 10 show
signs of a decline of their physical
charms. The fact that the star-eyed
Egyptian was then in the height Of her
beauty warrants the assertion that she
wisely used whatever cosmetic art was
known at that time 10 improve her per-
sonal appearance. And even If she had
not employed the salyes, etc, there 10
certainly one thing she would not have
failed to do, and that is TO darken her
eyebrows. All the women Of the orient
darken their eyebrows and eyelashes
to-day, just the same as they did thou
sands of years ago. Proof Of this was
found in the graves which contained
not exactly eyebrow pencils, but tiny
boxes filed with black paste and small
wooden implements for applying the
same. This was used not alone by the
women, but by the men also, says q
London exchange.
Even manicuring was known in those
ancient days, because we are told by
the best authorities that Paris had
most shining nails and darkened both
his eyelashes and his brows.
1t would be an easy matter to ridi-
cule all the various ingredients of these
slaves, but it would be injustice to do
so, because some OF them have been
used ever since through all these cen
turies and have thoroughly proven
their efficacy.

tscent Military Progress of These
People Exceeds That Of
other Nations.

Since her war with China, Japan has
made more progress as a military and
naval power than almost any other
nation in the world. Of the SS2,5OO,-
900 war indemnity she received from
China she has spent S29,OOO,O00 on her
army and more than $50, 600 on her
navy. At the beginning of that war
Japan's army on a peace footing con-
sisted of 5000 officers and men. This
has since been increased to 1000 on
q peace footing and $4,000 on a war
footing, relates the Little Chronicle.
Since the war with China she has
added four frst-class battleships,
six frst-class cruisers and large flo
tilla of torpedo boats. Besides these
she hes nine second-class cruisers,
five third-class cruisers, ten coast de-
fense vessels, two frs,-class and Is
second-class gunboa,s, four dispatch
boats and a torpedo depot ship. The
japanese navy is now larger than the
Russian navy. The naval and mill
tary officers are as carefully trained
as those of European nations. Jap
anese naval students are TO be found
at Annapolis, in this country, and in
all the best naval schools of Europe.
