Contradiction Alleged.
To sum up: Cuban opinion, in few
words, is-the Platt amendment violates
the Teller resolution and the treaty of
Paris because it demands jurisdiction, SOW
ereignty and control over Cuba. besides
dering Cubans to give up valuable territory
in ex change for the independence promised.
The hypothesis that it is necessary as
protection against foreign powers is not
conceded, because the Monroe doctrine con-
stitutes a sufficiently strong bulwark to
keep out invaders. Finally, the Platt
amendment cannot be enforced because it
Is a contradiction of itself Paragraph 1

Authorities Cited.

Juan Gualberto Gomez was delegated to
draw I'D the conventions reasons for re-
fusal of the Platt law. Among other things,
10 said. cit is impossible to reconcile the
third clause of the ,Platt amendment with
the independence of Cuba or with the as
sertions Of the United States that jurisdic-
ton sovereignty or control would never
be exercised over Cuba except during such
occupation as might be necessary for pa
cification of the island. Any intervention
would be to obtain determinate solutions
and impose fixed ideas. The individual or
government which can do that is sover-
eign. Bluntschli, in his Theory of the
State declares that the proper definition
is, The state is the incarnation, the per-
sonification of the potency of the nation.
This potency, considered in it's majesty,
in it's supreme force, they call sovereignty.
And he adds that sovereignty implies, first
independence of all other states; second,
supreme public dignity or majesty; third
the completeness of public power as diff
fering from that of the individual fourth,
the potency of the state, elevated to such
no other power in the political organism,
and fifth, unity, as MISUNDERSTANDING to
Bluntschli-paralyzes sovereignty"
Again, Gomez cited Prof Burgess, an in
treaties, quoting: 1.-The power cannot be
sovereign if it is limited The one which
imposes the liMitation will be sovereign,
and until nation attains such power that
it is unlimited, or limited only by it's own
laws, it is not sovereign.
1t may startle many good Americans to
discover that CubanS can advance such ar
guments in support of their contention for
absolute independence; but the above is an
exact translation.
Cubans are highly intelligent, and are
using every available fact to show the
world that they are in deadly earnest and in
tend neglecting nothing that will strength

points made is: The second paragraph of

Seventeen Companion Of wheat,.

About sixty differently named sorts
of wheat are annually grown in com
parative test at the Ohio Experiment
Station. In this test the different va
ieties are grown on plots of one-tenth
acre, the plots being arranged so that
a standard variety, Penquite's Velvet
Chaff, appears IN every third plot in
the series. and in computing the results
the yield of a given variety is com
pared with that of the two plots OF
Velvet Chan between which 1t grew.
The treatment of the crop is as near
ly uniform for all the varieties as pos
sible. The land was selected in the
first place for its apparent uniformity;
a tile drain is laid at n side of every
plot; the blowing is done across the
plots; all are MANFRED alike with barn
yard manure, distributed by a manure
s%preader, which also is driven across
the plots. thus giving no opportunity
for differences in time of blowing or
tanner OF m%anuring to effect the yield,
and the greatest possible care is taken
In seeding, harvesting and threshing.

test for the seven years. 1893 to 1899,
inclusive.
The following sorts have exceeded
the Velvet Chan in yield: Poole and
Mealy by an average of more than
four bushels per acre each; Red Rus
sian by nearly four bushels; Niger,
Early Ripe, Currell's Prolific. Gypsy
and Egyptian by two to three bushels;
Mediterranean, New Monarch and
Democrat by one to two bushels, and
Bearded Monarch, Valley, Deitz, Leb-
anon and Hickman by less than one
bushel each.
or the sorts which have fallen be-
low Velvet Char in average yield are
Jones Winter Fife, which has aver
aged more than three bushels less;
Thesis and Silver Chaff. between two
and three bushels less; Royal Aus
tralian Tor Clawson), Early Red Claw
son. Yellow Gypsy, Missouri Blue
Stem, New L%ongberry, Lehigh and
Martins Amber between one and two
bushels less, and Fulcaster, Hindos-
tan and Early White Leader, whose
average yield has been less than a
bushel below that OF Velvet Chan.
These tests have been made on a
rather thin, somewhat sandy clay. On
gravelly loans the Valley has made a
relatively larger yield than that
quoted above. No variety has proved
exempt from attack by the Hessian
fly, but Mealy. Mediterranean, Fulcas-
ter and Clawson seem to suffer less
from the fall attack of this insect than
most other sorts. The Ohio Station
has never succeeded in growing spring
wheat.

The Cooking of Cereals.

Oatmeal Is a time-honored breakfast
dish on American tables, but the old
style OF preparation, requiring several
hours of cooking, is fast becoming a
thing Of the past. and probably to the
detriment of the people. Partially pre-
pared or so-called breakfast foods are
now taking the place of boiled oats or
the original oatmeal" They consist
of the partially baked or softened ce-
reals prepared in different ways, or
sometimes eaten practically whole, as
in the case Of cracked wheat. Nearly
all the cereals are represented In these
partially prepared or breakfast foods.
Oats probably occupies the first rank,
and oatmeal In some form of prepara-
ton Is almost a constant article OF
diet on the breakfast table. Wheat and
maize are not far behind, and these
products are also used to a very large
extent as breakfast diets. Many of
them have been subjected 10 a high
temperature by which the starch
grains are softened and formed into q
kind of paste. The bulls and skins
are removed from other cereals, so that
he product does not represent the
whole grain, but only a portion there
of. In some cases, as in the manufac-
ture OF cerealine, the germ Is also re-
moved, as we'll as a portion or all of
the outer envelopes of the grain. One
object In this manufacture APPEARS to
be the preparation of n food which
can be made ready for the table in a
few moments. There is no question,
however, that too little time is con-
sumed In the final cooking of these
breakfast foods, and instead of using
only a few moments in their prepara-
ton, their wholesomeness, p%alatability.
and digestibility would be greatly i'm
proved by subjecting them for a long

Tanning skunk skins.

The principal thing in successful
tanning is to remove all grease and
mesh from the hide, and to rub well
while drying, as this is the only way
TO make the pelts soft, says Animal
world. This cleaning process Is called
neshing,' after which the skin should

pays to take the greatest possible
pains as frst-class skins are not only
In demand, but bring sufficiently high
er price to pay for the labor.
All hides must be feshed off, and
IL dry must soak in soft water until
perfectly soft before tanning.
Fleshing beam can be made from
an outside slab from any log, with
two legs on one end, so 1t will set up
the right height. The feshing knife
can be made of an old piece of scythe,
or a straight knife, with edge turned a
little. M a handle at each end. After
heshing well, place the skins in the
process given below and let them soak
Two hours; then pull them each way
q Few minutes, and let them hang over
the tub and drain for two hours, and
repeat until tanned. which will be
about twenty-four hours for small
hides. When tanned, wash them in
warm soft water with a little salaratus
and soft soap; then pull and rub them
well while drying, to keep them soft.
The tanning liquor is made by add
ing to two quarts our buttermilk
two quarts tepid soft water; add

Sulphuric acid Is a dangerous pois-
on. and we advise purchasing the exact
quantity wanted, so that the acid may

sure way to prevent any mistake or
accident.
Another liquor may be made by

ten ounces alum, we'll pulverized, one
ounce borax, n ounce saltpetre and

A Wonderful Boy.

York promises to be a rival of Laura
Bridgman and Helen Kellar. At the
State Institution for the instruction OF

can answer questions orally.

The child grew up in this condition,

years old. Then he was taken to the
New York institution.
Training at this school has made
him a master of the manual language,
the boy reading 1t by the sense OF
touch only. BY a purely mechanical
process he has been taught to utter
many words and sentences, especially
those in answer TO questions, ana,
stranger than this, recent experiments
have shown that he may be made to
hear spoken words.
But all of this is secondary to the
boys wonderful sense OF touch. In
fifty minutes after he was shown the
arrangement OF a typewriter he could
write intelligibly on it and now he
Is an expert. He uses the machine for
all written work in school, and in
his letters to home and friends he
shows originality and imagination.
AS a modeler, however, he excels.
Guided only by his sense of touch and
his power of grasping description, he
has made a model OF the Grant monu-
ment at Riverside which would be
recognized anywhere.
AT IA years of age he made a water
wheel, connecting it with the figure or
a dancer, 30 that when the water was
turned on the paddles the figure be-
came an active toy. almost lifelike in
its gyrations.
AT the institute young Benson, who
ID now IL years old, is taking the
usual studies-history, geography,

raphy he puts together a sectional map

ments in construction and mainte-
nance pay? They will make better
roads, which will decrease somewhat
the cost of travel; but the saving in
cost of transportation and miscellane-
Gus travel will probably not be equal
to the increased cost of securing the
better roads. To live in a good house
costs more than to live in a poor one
Good roads are desirable for the same
reason that a mar buys a carriage or
builds a line house, 1. e., because they
are a comfort and a pleasure. Whether
good roads will pay" or not, depends
upon the relative estimate put upon
money and labor on the one side and
comfort and convenience of travel ON
the other. The man who prefers IN
ride in a lumber wagon because n is
cheaper than a carriage, will prefer 70
ride in the mud instead of spending
money or labor in improving the
roads. 1t Is certain that comfort and
ease of travel add to the knowledge
and intelligence of the citizen. and
thus indirectly, but none the less Ger
tainly, add to his ability to get on in

for good roads is always a good in
vestment-hnancially, socially and

Plea for Borrowers.

many old residents, express their sur
prise at the lack of privacy in the Offices
OF managers of great banks and firms
There is not single bank here where A
man can talk privately with the manae-
er, and the same is the case in most of
the business houses. There are moments
when an important matter is to be dis
cussed and where fortunes probably are
at stake, and yet all business is virtually
transacted with open doors. We call at
tention to the matter because we notice
that the old fashion is being follow ed

that no privacy is secured for the trans

FOR CARRYING MAILS.

Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith has issued an advertisement in
pamphlet form, covering the mail-carry-
ing system by steamers and star routes
in these islands. Hawaii is the fourth
division of the United States mail serv-
ice. The mail contracts for the routes
which have been made up to the present
time by Mr.. Carr are only for the re-
mainder of the four-year period, which
ends June 80, 1902. The pamphlet gives
the amount of bonds necessary for the
steamer and star routes, these bonds in
every case being at least fifty per cent
higher than at the present time. The
new routes will have to give bonds in
the same proportion.
Way ports will be included besides the
termini, which are specified in the fol-
lowing, but they will not have delivery
at such small intervals. This will be
different, however, where mal is brought
by irregular mail vessels. The various
termini of the mail routes are as fol-
lows:

kapoho, once a week; Hilo to Laupa-
