Animals Ihrf RInnnr.

AncmoneS, spOngcS, the sea cucum-
bers and certain other growths which
bloom and apparently behave in all
respects like plants are really animals.
The petals of the ancmonc, rcsCm-
bling those of a chrySanthemum, are
really tentaclcs to catch food and put it
into the hollow tube which forms the
stomach. where il is digcStcd. The
sea cucumber has Il ilattcuCd body. 1t

to obtain which it swallows Il fair
proportion of mud 1t has power to
sting and so keeps away its enemies.
The sea lily so exactly resembles the
common lily that it is difficult to real
iZe that it is an animal and belongs to
the starfish family. 1t has Il stalk two
feet long, with n disk for body. The
tcntacles close round the disk, which
has mouth, and completes the de-
ceptive likeness. They are the oldest
form of animal life on earth, apd their
fossils are called "stonc lilies"
These creatures were believed to be
plants and many people still refuse to
believe otherwise.

Woman's Dread of Isolation,

The young wife taken from among af-
fectionate relatives and installed in q
home of her own meets for the first time
the test Of character that searches out
her very soul, life and ambition Sur
rounded with all that money can pro-
cure, she is lonely and uncomfortable
In her new kingdom. The novelty at first
may counteract any fear or depression Of
monotony, but as the days and weeks
pass there grows up morbid longing for
old scenes and faces. Her husband is
away from her most Of the day, and she
finds it impossible to create new world
Of thought and work to occupy her mind
during the dull hours Her nerves be
come unsettled. Each day she fears the
departure Of her husband and the neces.
sity of being alone, but, ashamed of her
own weakness, she conceals the suffering
that daily tOrments her. Eventually a
nervous breakdown may precipitate mat,
ters, but even the cause Of it is not al
ways apparent to either the wife or hus-
banda. S. Atkinson, NJ. D., in Wom.

BUT SHE SAW THE WEDDING.

It is not an easy matter to keep a
woman from a funeral or a wedding,
especially the latter if 1t be fashion
able function, relates a Paris cores
pondent. The recent marriage Of the
Count de Fiers and Mile. Genevieye
Sardou was a tremendous affair In
Paris, and at least two persons claim
ed every available seat In the church
where the happy pair became one.
Just as the ceremony was about to be-
gin a handsomely dressed woman fore
ed her way through the crowd at the
door and was about to step inside
when the steward on guard there barr
ed her progress, saying: 1T is impos-
sible to let you In, madam. Every seat
is occupied" That may be- replied
the lady in a very confident tone, but
you will find If you inquire, that there
is still room for me-" who are you,
then, madam asked the steward. ST
am the widow of General Gallifet,"
she replied. The steward saluted the
lady with an apologize bow and show
ed her to good viewpoint inside, ex-
pressing regret that to provide a seat
was impossible. On returning to the
door he was reminded that General
Gallifet is very much alive, and that
he is, moreover, a widower.

81 believe that when the great cities
have been so organized that the Execu-
tive is responsible for all the workings
of the city that there will be better
class of men chosen for the office of
mayor. The fact that he has so many
places to fill and such responsible ap-
pointments to make. in my opinion, has
had much to do with the selection of
such very good men for the Presidency
Of the United States. I am in favor of
the national system in local govern
ment, and hope that a modern plan
will be submitted for legislative action.
II found that there was a generally

to be able to make a reservation which
will keep that from the danger. The
plan will be to take in the spring and
the lands about it on both sides of the
valley in which it lies, so that there
will be no danger from the residences
which are springing up or from the cane
lands, for the fertilizer which Is used
may poison the water.
II was very much pleased to find
that there is more interest in small
farming on the Island. saw In Hiio
an American farmer making arrange
. ments for the disposition of his crops.
i This Is one thing which is having the
attention Of the Government, and which
Will be prosecuted as much as possible.
The greatest need of the Islands Is
farming population. The small farmer
has more needs than the plantation la
borer and adds more to the wealth and
prosperity of the community. This was
seen in the Olaa colony, for the farm
ers there had always something to sell
and were In the market as purchasers
all the time, so that the sale of those
( lands to the plantation, and the rempv-
F, al of many of the farmers was felt In
Hilo very much. The natives and Por-
tuguese are developing great deal of
interest in the homestead lease. and the
i lands will be distributed as much as
! possible in that way. This offers
home for the farmer and his children
for all time practically and insures a
continuous residence upon the lands.
There Is much land suitable for farm
| ing which may be taken up in this
way.
/ Il was certain all the time that the
affairs here were all right, and 1 am
very much pleased with the conditions.
L can see no reason for any extra ses-
sion. and I believe that 1t would have
been very unwise to have called one.
Many persons who were in favor of a
county bill have signified to me that
they did not understand the bill which
was passed and they are we'll satisfied
THAT 1t failed. I hope TO see scheme
lof government framed before the next
meeting of the Legislature which will
lbe representative of the ideas of all the
people If possible there should be a
body of citizens chosen to frame such
laws and charters as would embody all
the best features of similar legislation,
for submission to the Legislature when
lit meets in 1903
