Prior to that date the average production
OF sugar in the Islands was about 2S,0oo,-

The AT Of PhotoRraphlnx Birds.

Strangely enough, it is not always the
more rare and shy birds which are most
difficult to photograph, but, on the con-
trary, very common and usually unsus-
plcious species, when approached with
Photographic intent, are exceedingly
wary. This is the case with our familiar
robin, and also with the kingbird or bee
martin. Time and again have l spent
an entire afternoon endeavoring to photo
graph this saucy flycatcher, but without
avail, and it is only very recently that
succeeded in inducing one to sit for
his portrait, and even he condescended
to do so only when his fatherly solici-
tude was aroused and | disturbed the
peace of his young family. On the
other hand blue jays, which are no
toriously wild, have had no difficulty
with, provided the time chosen was late
summer or early autumn. l find that

have habits which greatly facilitate mat
tiers once they are learned.-A. II. Ver-

Both Were Taught Something.

lhe master OF a sailing vessel, who
prided himself on his good manners
and delighted to teach politcncss to his
crew, had one day at the wheel man
who, though an old and experienced sea-
man, was a new hand on board this ship
Going up to him. the master asked:
"How's her head?"
"Nor' by nor'east," answered the old
tar, very gruffly.
"My man." suavely cxpostulated the
master, ION this craft when one of the
crew speaks to me he gives me a title
of respect. Don't you think you ought
to do so. too? Now how's her head?'
"Nor by nor'east, tell yer!' shouted
the tar, displaying not a little irritation.
"Come; I'm afraid you don't quite
understand me-" responded the master,
kindly. Let me relieve you at the wheel
and then you take my place and ask me
the question. ] will then show you how
it should be answered"
They changed places.
"Ow's 'er 'cad!' roared the tar.
Nor by nor'-east, sir" replied the
captain, with gentle emphasis on the
"sir."
"Tlien keep her so, my man. while
goes forrard and has smoke" was the
rejoinder.-Tit-BitS.

~ NCE more the pistol of the assas.
vi sin has brought anarchy and the
anarchist to the cynosurc of the
worlds eyes. The red emblem OF the
order is once more subjected to the scru.
tiny of the worlds police powers, and
once more the question arises:
What is anarchy? What Is this hydra.
headed thing against which the soaring
by fire Of the bleeding necks is no longer
effective?
The question may be answered In a
Paradox-perhaps must be answered so.
Anarchy, broadly speaking. r. at once the
gentlest aud the most violent OF social
remedies. Its apostles have been gentle
dreamers on the one hand and scourges,
armed with fire and sword. on the other.
In its advancement the individualist and
the assassin have been coupled in the
public mind. The man who would do
right simply because 1t Is right. and the
fcnd who. conceiving all society to be
wrong. would add one more gigantic
wrong to the whole In order to set all
right again.
In a word, anarchy. Of whicheve. type.
means an abolition of the government Of
man by man and the constitution OF a
society without government. 1t IL not q
new idea In men. 1t has been contended
that the principle antedates the reforma.
ton. But as anarchy" the movement
belongs to the times Of Proudhon In
France. who voiced it In the mildness
Of the philosopher. and to Hess, the Ger.
man, who In 1S43 flung its red banner to
the breeze under which the Russian,
Prince Kropotkin, came later as an ex-

poncnt OF the terrorism for which one
form of anarchy so long has stood.
For anarchy Is of two classes, individ-
ualistic and communistic. The first is
the philosophy of the thinker. which has
advanced as the object Of Its being the
attainment OF Liberty. not the daughter
but the mother OF order" That other
anarchy Is that which through the inhu-
ence Of terrorism shall crumble empires
and republics alike. while from their dust
shall rise a free people who shall be In
no need Of restraints at the hands Of
their fellow-men. Disciples Of this phi.
losophy would build communistic centers
upon the ruins Of government which vio-
lence should have brought about.
To-day that form OF anarchy such rs Is
giving concern to the police and military
powers of the world has its hotbed In
continental Europe. Vienna, beyond all
the other capitals on the continent, is said
to harbor its doctrinaires. Switzerland
has contended with its propaganda Of
action" which Kropotkin stood for In
1870. Italy, France, Spain. Russia, and
nearly every other continental country
has felt Its force. London itself has been
nest OF anarchistic vipers In times past.
From all this territory, too. the gradual
closing in Of the police power has forced
both leaders and tools Of anarchy to seek
asylums In America. The problem of
anarchy as now presented to the United
States government has to deal almost
wholly with this foreign born element.
Its principles. as voiced by the mani.
festo of the Geneva conference In 1881,
stand In great measure for the propa.
ganda Of action Of to-day:

THE DIGNITY OF AGRICULTURE,
u Holds Forth Splendid Promises to
Young Men OF Ambition.

Within recent years it has come to be
acknowledged that the vocation of the
farmer is the most dgnified of all the
sciences, and as an art it is cxcelled
only by those of painting and archtec-
t,re. In its highest forms it is the most
learned of all the professions. A knowl-
edge OF geology and chemistry aud their
relations to the soils lies at the very
foundation of scientific agriculture. The
problems that arise from the complex
nature Of the soils and their origin re-
quirc the best thought of the best minds
to solve. More educated young men
should be farmers. Agriculture opens
wide field leading to influence and pow
er, one. too, that is not filled to rcple-
ton. 1t holds forth the most splendid
promises for young men of ambition. 1t
is filled with liberalizing tendencies, a
noble conservation and the most health
ful and invigorating influences. The day
is not far distant when agriculture will
attract men of the largest capacity and
the highest executive ability, and be re-
garded as the greatest of all the pro-
fessions. Let any one who is familiar
with what agriculture was hundred
years ago compare its condition then
with what it is to-day, and he will
search in vain for the same proportion
ate elevation and progress among its
followers in any other branch of human
industry. Many of those engaged in
agriculture now are men Of high elcva-
tion and broad reading. Many of them
have extensive and valuable libraries,
and take numerous journals devoted to
their business. Agriculture moves along
in its own quiet. dignifed but irresistible
way. 1t has no booms, so to speak, but
it gathers strength with each decade
and with every accession of knowledge,
and will forever be the most important
branch OF human industry, and the great
est necessity for the human race.
If the young men who are meascYing
tape and laccs would surrender their
work to the young girls who are seeking
employment and turn their attention to
the pursuits of agriculture there would
be less misery and more contcntmcnt in
the land; there would be more indc-
pendence and less scrvility; more men
and fewer creatures; more happy wives
and comfortable homes. hcalthfui chill
dren and cheerful mothers. A woman
surrounded by all the active agencies of
a well-kcpt farm and living in a bcau-
tiful country home, with fountains and
flowers and sweet evergrecns." has those
environments that develop the sweetest
graces and highest impulses of her ma.
turc, and make her virtues shine res
plendcnt above the world of frivolity and
fashion. She becomes a true woman
the happicst of wives and the best of
mothers. Such home of such a wife
realizes our highest ideals of human
happiness. 1t is home where intclli-
gencc rcigns and cnnoblcs work, and
work crowns intelligence with honor and
profit.
A young man who Is in search of an
easy place. with no responsibility, will
never be master and will never control
others. He who selects a vocation be-
cause it is easy is already cffcninatc.-

their laughing chatter revealing their
enjoyment, but more particularly their
devotion to the star"
An audible murmur Of admiration
greeted John Leonard as he paused an
instant outside the door. The girls had
ample opportunity TO view the hero Of
the afternoon, minus makeup and ro-
mantle surroundings.
Richard Alton smiled slightly as he
tOined Leonard, and together the two
