THE BELGIAN HARE.
Claimed 10 he Lively Little Money
Maker of Many Merits.

Among the general merits Of tho
Belgian hare 1t IL exceedingly domestic

II is therefore I'm preference TO all 9th
ers the animal To be raised In cities
where space IL a consideration. A box

little ones. Another important factor
In the breeding and care Of animals
In cities Is cleanliness. In this respect
we have no domestic animal or fowl
that win compare with the Belgian
hare. The demands for feed that the
Belgian hare makes are small. 1t may
be kept on the trimmings Of garden
vegetables or hay. A little grain should
be given the doe while the youngsters
are kept with her, but the amount then
IL 80 small that It is hardly worth the
mention. Grain must be fed when
fattening for the table.
AS meat producer the Belgian hare

will produce its young every GO days
and on an average of from to II at
a time. Fifty per year is conserva-
tive estimate of what single doe may
produce. Thus it will more than make
up In number for It's small size. There
is after all no little advantage in its
being small. An ordinary family can
not readily care for the meat of a large
animal, but the hare can be served
fresh, the four or six pounds meeting
the demands of the average family.

In Honolulu with $50, 900 capital. Secretary

the Department Of Justice for an opinion on
the subject, and has done so. The Attorney

the field from the States. II l. understood
that certain wealthy local merchants In Homo

share Of the stock Of the proposed bank. These
men, II Is understood. propose 10 bring about

for low ideals and depraved character, in short
| want TO ask that in common justice YOU meet
us half way in our efforts TO measure up to
civilizations standard.
Thanks TO the press, the forum and the candor
OF many public men and women. we have
learned what the negro's faults are; and even
though their deeds are not heralded, | tell you
that there are thousands OF my people who are
trying to mend those faults and live the higher
life. And / 90 further and say that though
the negro is on trial before the world to-day.
the time will come when his Caucasian brother
must have the verdict of history passed upon
him. Under the providence OF God my, people

when any race concludes that il cannot rise

But il Is because we believe in the ultimate
