Mice Much LilSe Men.

A Bath professional man is making quite a study of mice. He works in his library at night, and allows the little animals about the room undisturbed. He said the other day, with a smile, that on cold nights the mice come out, sit on their launches and warm them selves near the register. According to his story, one mouse, while getting the chill taken off the other night. fell asleep and toppled over on the floor and snoozed there nearly an hour.--Kennebec Journal.

Not UsuaIIv That Way.

A very small girl out on the East side was given her first plate of ray oysters at supper the other night. She swal- lowed one and then pushed the plate away from her with an expression of disgust.
 What's the matter, Katy?" asked her mother. Don't you like your oys- ters?"
 ''No, me don't,' answered Katy, with grimace. Him was too fresh. ''- Memphis Scirnitar.

The customs duties on the $11, ,O00,- 900 of tea imported into this country amount to $9,000,000.

Under manufacturing industries the census bureau has listed the mak- ing of newspapers. There are 15,- 800 newspaper offices in the country, employing 95,o0O persons and paying an aggregate of $5oooo,ooo in wages, or an average of about ten dollars week. It is perhaps needless to remark that some get more-and some, less.

An Artificial Island.

A scheme is on foot toN create an island in the center of the Lake of Neuchatel, in Switzerland. In the middle of the lake there is sub- merged mountain six or seven feet below the water, and it is on this mountain that the island will be con- structed. A large hotel will be erect ed on the island. The capital, which is already subscribed. will come from England and America.-N. Y. Sun.

The action of the administration against the Northern Securities com pany, says Henry Clews in his weekly letter, was a sharp blow to the stock market, and will be likely to deprive it of much of the support given upon the expectation that the merger would be sustained in the courts. As other important mergers than the Northern Pacific and Great Northern were un- der way, and would undoubtedly have been carried through in the event of a favorable decision, the various bank CTS plans for combination will meet with much delay if not final defeat, depriving the market of one of it's re- cent supports. 1t is not to be sup posed, however, that these plans will be quietly abandoned. The case will be stubbornly contested in the courts !; and, if this method of controlling com petition or giving community of inter- est some tangible form through secur- ity holding companies is not success ful, other means will unquestionably be attempted. It is far better, there fore, that the uncertainty should be settled before the creation is yentured of a vast mass of securities whose legal status could be upset after they had been distributed among the pulp lie.

A Washington writer who spends much time at the Capitol and who un- derstands pretty well the trend of af- fairs, says that to q flew people the decision of the president on the appeal of Admiral Schley came as disap- pointment, but it had been expected by the majority. Few men are capable of rising far above their surroundings and of acting in entire opposition to their political advisers, and evidently the president is one of them. At the same time 1t should be remembered that the admiral did not appeal to the president on those points which the public would have been glad to see the president compelled to review. The actions and attitude of Admiral Sampson, from his arrogant message announcing the de stluction of the Spanish fleet down to his approval of the infamous history, written by Laborer Maclay, have been the chief causes of the resentment of

more Porto Ricans will leave the cane

because the fare of all the Porto Ri
cans here was paid by our planters on
the understanding that the people thus
procured should labor in the fields.
Many OF them cheated their employ
ers and came TO town. where they are
not wanted. Nothing ought TO be done
by the charities TO keep them here: on
the contrary. everything should be
done, both by the charities and the po-
lice, to drive them away. The funds OF
our philanthropic bodies are for the de-
serving poor, not for the lazy proletar-

SHOULD ENFORCE THE LAW.

Crime is becoming too frequent In
this city. Public opinion demands that
something shall be done to suppress It.
There are two ways: One Is to In
crease the numbers ana improve the
efficiency of the police force. The 9TH
er is to persuade the District MaGis-
trate to be more severe In his SEN
fences The first plan would nc ex-
psns!ve; the second only requires the
Judge to do his duty wihou. taking
too much counsel from mis- natural
Kindness of heart. With Migrants
swarming about and holdS-up happen
ing and the devil to pay generally. 1t
Is time that this judicial Kindness
should be made to benefit the public
rather than the criminal classes.
During December there were thirty
six arrests, twenty-five convictions in
police court, mostly with lght SEN
fences. and twenty-eight discharges.
All n vagrant needed to d, u got of
was TO tell the Judge he had been
looking for work and could not find it.
This excuse In place where the
lack of labor has become n crisis is
not worth the breath that u;ters it.
There ia work enough for all. Ten to

The hour Is at hand fer straight. un-

In health can find work to do. AS a
vagrant he should be sent where he
can be made to mend our badly made
streets and acquire thereby a DISPOSE
ton to toll afterwards for his own ad-
vantage. Kindness Is thrown away on
him.
We think Furthermore, II the severe

CUBAN SUGAR.

appear that Cuba, as possible future

market, viii achieve more than a frac-
tion of its full productive capacity.
II Hawaii were compelled to Ccpend
upon the degenerate Porto deans or
upon such blacks as were brought here
from Tennessee, for the success of its
sugar industry. 1t would soon feel like
dropping sugar for good. For Cuba,
however, there Is no other recourse un =

OF the great West Indian island. That
they are lazy, shiftless and Of merely
Intermittent activity, is plain to those
who know them and may be judged by
others who have become familiar with
their congeners, the Porto Ricans, the
Fiipinos and the Central Americans.
Serious as our own labor problems
have been. those of Cuba loom up in
vastly greater magnitude; and they are
large blocks of American capital in
that island.
AS to whether Cuba can import AS
latte labor there are many elements of
doubt. Should she try to deluge the
land with Chinese, the organized labor
of the United States would press Con-
gress for leglslat ton hostile to her su-
gar interests. The government Of ia

it prefers to keep such wayfarers as
may go abroad in search of work on
the shores OF the Pacific. whence they
can go home quickly and at compare
lively small expense when needed for
military purposes.
Even should such laborers be sought
by Cuban planters, IT Is doubtful If
the native island authorities In whom
the political control Of the land must
| soon reside. would be able to hold their
ground against the protests OF the Gu
| ban poems. The latter do not care to
work either steadily or well: but at
times hunger compels them to earn

way to n job blocked by alien labor.
1t would be to stake the political life

class In the constituency would regard

Of nation at war with the United
States. Each power would try for the
group; one or the other would sue

This helplessness in the midst of n
wide sea made annexation a process of
destiny. Fortunately the group was
absorbed in the end by free state.
Union with the United States was
postponed for five years. but the delay
only emphasized the fact that separate
existence could not be maintained. The
Japanese sent alleged free laborers and
students here whose object was to Sc
cure the ballot on the same terms as
other foreigners; and this. In the final
analysis, meant an Asiatic Legislature
and Executive. Annexation at what
ever cost was better than that.
On the whole the results of the ces-
sion OF 1898 have been beneficial. Sta
BILE government has come; values have
vastly increased: Honolulu has grown,
and the islands have absorbed millions
of new capital: the incidental worries
coming of the change are passing
away. What new troubles we have are
small beside the greater ones we have
escaped.
And what a change politically! The
incensed Royalists of nine years ago
are now appealing to Washington to
remove the old annexationists from
power because they are not-as the
Royalists declare-willing to develop
