TEE COUNCIL OF STATE.

There seems to be distinct lack
of harmony in the Council of State
which at present is to limited ex-
tent acting as a legislature. Minis
ter Cooper offered yesterday he
peculiar view that the only thing
the Councillors had authority to do
was to say yes and amen, to any pro-
position laid before them by the
Executive Council. He stated with
some heat that the Council had no
right to amend the appropriation
bill presented to it by the cabinet
but he did not explain why then the
Council was in session at all. He
virtually told the Councillors that
they were there as puppets only and
that there whole function was to
endorse the appropriations asked
for.

BRIToNs AND THE BoER5.

Minister Damon and other men,
bers of the Executive differed from
the Attorney. General which made
him still more heated and he even
accused Minister Damon of saying
one thing in the meeting of the
Executive Council and the very
opposite in the meeting of the Coun-
Gil of State. We think that Mr..
Cooper's contention is utterly inten.
able. When Mr.. Mckinley wrote to
Mr.. Dole that he considered it un-
necessary to call a special meeting
of our defunct legislature and autho-
rized the Council OF State to do all
Immediately necessary to meet emer-
gencies and continue the machinery
OF the government he certainly vest
ed legislative power in the Council
of State; had he meant otherwise he
would naturally simply have autho.
rized Mr.. Dole and his cabinet to 90
ahead until the territorial bill was
passed 1t is preposterous to suppose
that Mr.. Mckinley would ask the
Councillors to vast their time by
sitting around every day and listen
ing to matters in regard to which
they virtually had no say and only an
interest as far as they are taxpayers;
but it is the moneys of the taxpayers
which are being disposed of.
We are happy to say that the
common sense Of the Councillors
prevailed and that Cooper was
crushed upon the following resolu-
tion OF a. G.. M. Robertson being
carried:
SIT is the sense of the Council of
State that we have the right to
amend any of the appropriation bills
we have in hand, either by increas.

or adding new items"

siege or not is one Of the problems
OF the future. 1t is quite within the
limits OF probabilities that the re-
cent victories OF the British are due
to very cunning aud strstegical
movements on the part OF the Beers.
Their inside lines of defense have
yet to be captured and fights in
Vulnerable are in front unless un-

after private conversation with
Lord Pauncefote, kindly offered to
intervene in the interest OF peace.
1t is said that the reply Of the Brit
ish Cabinet was curt aud courteous
II was merely to the effect that
when Great Britain fights che fights
to the bitter end and allows no other
nation to intervene. The gauntlet
has again been thrown down and it
will be doughty nation that takes
it up.

Taste in Furnishing.

In selecting house furnishings be
very careful not to confound liking
with taste. As a rule furnishings that
are conspicuous in themselves are sell
dom a good investment for people who
cannot afford to toss them aside at
will. Door hangings should always be
of heavy window draperies. The ap-
pointments OF dining room are so few
that an error in their choice OF COM
bination is more obtrusive than a SINH
lar error In any other room. The walls
OF a room that is to be occupied con-
stantly should be hung with plain pa
per or with that having an all-oVer
interlocked pattern in neutral tints.
Insincerity is as surely expressed In
a piece OF furniture as in ones speech.
The artistic and restful effect of al
most any room Is heightened by the
use OF homemade fancy articles, pro-
vided their coloring tones in or con-
trasts pleasingly with the dominant
one Of the room, and they are few In
number. Small Oriental rugs make
the most effective covering possible for
floor cushions. Simply place the cush-
ion in the center Of the rug, bring the
ends together and bllndstitch these and
the sides together, using the scanned
side next the floor.

fell disease and now when a vessel

with several cases on board there is
nothing to fear, for they have been
promptly quarantined The black
death" as the plague has been appro-

it epidemic. Europe, which was peri

vitality has nothing to fear from The

ENOUGH FIGS
10 Supply the United states shOuld BE
Raised In CaIlfornla.

10 Supply the United states Should BE
Raised in California.
San Francisco Call: One million OF
dollars per annum can be easily added
to the income Of California, in the
opinion of Prof. Walter T. Swingle OF
the United States department OF agri-
culture, by cultiyating figs. Prof
Swingle has been touring the state and
keenly observing. His conclusion is
that the foothill region of California is
excellently adapted to the growing of
fig orchards and Is like the natural
home of the fig. Imported figs are now
selling on the Atlantic coast at the ex-
traordinary rate of $1,000 per ton. and
there are few to be had at that price.
If California had fig crop now it
would be as good as a gold mine.
California ought to raise figs enough
for the whole United States said
Prof. Swingle. Il am satisfied that the
possibility of SO doing will be demon
strated satisfactorily The explana-
ton of this is that If the fig moth,
brought from Asia by Prof. Swingle in
Capri figs, shall survive the frosts the
problem of fertilizing the figs which
has puzzled generations of Californt-
ans, will be settled. 1t has heretofore
been supposed that the only way to
introduce the fig moth into California
was to import small Capri fig trees in
pots and wait for them to grow. Prof.
Swingle has adopted the more direct
method and brought them in figs, the
figs being wrapped in tinfoil A jour-
ney across the Mediterranean sea, the
Atlantic ocean and the North Ameri-
can continent did not hurt the moth in
the least. There are many samples of
the moth in the state now, all so i'm
ported and all are doing we'll.
If the moths survive the frost this
winter, the way will be blazed out for
the future industry, which cannot but
prove an important addition to the
states commercial resources. Prof.
Swingle says that he thinks that it is
also possible to introduce the fruit
bearing cactus into California success
fully. This is something like the
prickly pear, with the "prickers" left
out. The fruit is of a dull, red color
and tastes something like canteloupe.
In Arabia this fruit grows on the des-
ert and does not need any water to
thrive. There are large tracts in Cali
fornia, now producing no revenue, that
might be made to pay well with crops
of this Arabian fruit Prof. Swingle is
investigating carefully concerning the
outlook for the date palm in Califor-
mia. The shortage in the Asiatic fig
crop ought to supply a market for any
California black figs fit to send for
ward this season. Black dried figs
have already been sold, in small guam
titles, in the East, at very good prices.

tirely in the shops and gradually. in
obedience to the natural laws of fash
Ion, is disappearing from our homes. A
fervent ejaculation of thanks will I'M
doubtedly go up from both men and
women at this announcement-from
the former because they never cared
to rest their heads on a fussy pillow

the primary purpose of those articles
wasn't ornament; the latter because

easier to keep unrumpled and fresh.

The poster girl often appears on the
latter two kinds, and very attractive
she is, too, done in bright colors in her
sWirling poses. The figured velvets
and satins used show conventionalized
and tartan designs. Almost all of the
cushions are finished with a heavy
silk cord, but have no other ornament
alton. Just as many will be piled in
cosey corners and on couches this win
ter as ever before and a reduction of
trimming on them does not necessarily
mean a diminution Of expense. I assure
you, so goodly sum must be set aside
BY the housewife for these very essen
tial furnishings.

the natural oil Of the hair to nourish
1t as nature intended it should. 1t has

OIL purchased at some reliable gro
