Why Iney sell.

Is it strange that lot 80 by so,
containing 800 square feet, sells
without agents when compared with
one 100 by 40, containing only 1000

much?
Our streets are 40 It. and alleys Is
it., while alleys on other plots are
only 10 it., useless for teams to pass.

could be made into gloves was laid
before the managers SO confidentially
that they resolved to put it to the trial,
and they ordered a number Of the
skins of the largest rats which could
be found in Grimsby. But the rat is
fighting animal, and bears the marks
of many battles on his body, and it
was found that the skins were so
SCARED and torn that it was with the
utmost difficulty that perfect pieces
large enough for the purpose could be
obtained. In the end, after ten skins
had been used, a pair of gloves was
cut and made, and they are retained
in the collection to this day. But they
are SO small that they would fit only
the smallest of small boys. Thus it
was shown that however cheaply rat
skins might be obtained they would
offer no advantages to the glovemaker.
The rabbit skin is equally useless for
this purpose, and humane people may
also dismiss from their minds the fear
that the skins Of pet dogs are made
into gloves. The dogskin glove of

the skin of the Cape goat.

Sugar as an Article OF Diet,

AS there Is always a peculiar salts
faction in the consciousness that duty
agrees with inclination, and that the
action which is pleasurable is at the
same time advantageous, people with
a sweet tooth will be glad to learn of
the high rank in respect of its food
value which the modern physiologist
accords to sugar. For many years the
idea prevailed that sugar was a lux
ury. serving no other purpose than to
please the palate, not supplying any
substantial nourishment to the body,
and more likely to impair than to pro-
mote the health. Experiment and OBJ
servation have demonstrated the un-
soundness Of these opinions, and scien-
tific physiology now teaches that su-
gar is substance whose nutridve
qualities are Incompatible, and that it
is an indispensable aid to manual la
Dor and one of the best agents for
maintaining the body in health and
vigor which a bountiful nature has
provided.
This is the conclusion to which the
scientific investigator has been led by
much patient research, supplemented
by experimentation on men and AMI

Further, in regard to the fair sex.
we have: Woman, she needs no eu-

WANTED TO SELL HIS CROWN.
King of Hawaiian Islands Was Tired
of Being a Sovereign.

King of Hawaiian Islands Was Tired
of Being n Sovereign.
Half century ago the sovereignty Of
the Hawaiian islands came near be-
ing disposed Of to the highest bidder
among the powers of the world, his
majesty, Kamehameha III, having set
his heart on getting rid of a crown
which, to him, was one of thorns, and
to give the islands into the bargain,
says the Honolulu Commercial Adver
tiser.
This interesting statement was made
at the annual meeting Of the Hawaiian
Historical Society, when Prof. w. d.
Alexander read a hitherto unpublished
portion of the dairy of Mrs Laura
Fish Judd, wife Of the Late DR.. Judd
and grandmother Of Albert f. Judd.
The matter read by Prof Alexander
was clearly within the intimate knowl-
edge Of the writer and was to have
been published in her book, printed
in the sos, but for some reason was
withheld from its pages at the last mo-
ment
Prof. Alexander read directly from
the manuscript Of Mrs. Judd, about as
follows:
"Kamehameha III. set his heart on
disposing Of the islands. He wanted
to sell his crown to the highest bid
der in the world, no matter who Of
fered. When he sent his commission
to France he furnished Dr. Judd with
power to make the best bargain DOS
sible for the disposal Of the group She
saw with her own eyes the documents
which the king had drawn up and she
felt that the strongest proof of the
kings trust in DR.. Judd was in this
strange proceeding. Mrs. Judd says
that she was very glad DR.. Judd had
no occasion to make use Of the docu-
ments In the manner intended. She
added that under the administration
of President Pierce the Hawaiian
kingdom was looked upon with favor
and the road to Washington was very
short"
The following were his majesty's
reasons for selling the islands: First.
His subjects were decrea sing in num-
bers. Second. The superior civiliza-
ton was bringing in foreigners who
would soon displace the natives. Third,
he did not desire repetition Of such
treatment as he received from Lord
George Paulet. Queen Pomare, hav-
ing lost her possessions to world
power, the king felt that he would
meet the same fate, and that he es-
capped such a fate was only through
the good offices OF the United States.
Fourth, the foreign element was in.
creasing and became more difficult to
control, and the government would
eventually be controlled by foreigners.
The king expected liberal terms at
his auction sale, and the monetary 10.

Roman Bricks.

The rebuilding Of the campanile in
Venice has begun. 1t is expected that
the structure will be finished by 1906.
Although the fall Of the tower was a
deplorable loss, some good attended
it in the opportunity it gave acheolo-
gists to examine the bricks.
It was found that the bricks had
ben used tn arches, Notifications, the
tops of walls and in other ways before
they were built into the campanile, and
that they are not Venetian but Roman
bricks.
The ancient bricks were made in
slices, for In many the layers could be
seen unddsturbed. 1t Is said that
bricks made this way can bear
greater weight than modern bricks.
The bricks examined were Of the
first century. One Of them bore the
imprint of a horseshoe, which may
prove that the Romans used horse
shoe like ours, although it is gener-
ally believed that their horseshoes
were strapped on, not nailed.

Robert e. Peary Is about to make
another dash for the pole. During the
last twelve years Commodore Perry
has made six voyages to the frozen
north. 1t is life of hustle the minute
the far north is reached. There is no
time, nor Ia 1t safe to sit down and
think of the work that lies beyond.
These men, like the Wandering Jew"
must keep going on and on, because
rest means danger from the apathy en-
gendered by the awful cold. In this
land Of ice and snow and desolation,
there is another element, almost ap-
palling, and this is the intensity Of the
fearsome silence, which seems like
some gruesome specter phantom, white
and ghostly, which hovers over the
vast expanse of Hfeless, colorless sur
roundings. A trip to the north pole
is an outing that takes man Of abso-
lutte nerve and freedom from fear to
contemplate. He who ventures into
this dangerous country takes his life
In his hands. And yet men have for
gotten all trials, have put aside every
human attachment, and, leaving the

A complete explanation of the out
RACES in Macedonia is not easy to
frame, because there are SO many rea-
sons for the conditions In European
Turkey. In the first place, it should
be noted that the district in inhabited
by hostile and jealous races. Turks,
Albanians, Servians. Bulgarians.
Greeks, and few others live side by
side, each with peculiar customs. and
each dissatisfied with the rule Of tina
Sultan. Then they have not the same
religion. The Mohammedan looks
down on the Christian and the Jew;
the Greek Christian cannot tolerate
the Protestant, and the Catholic re-
CARDS the Armenian as a hereto. The
task of governing a population OF hos
tile races, with differing religions. all
within a comparatively narrow area,
is difficult at best But Turkish gov
ernment is bad. The administration
Of justice is SO uncertain that the for
eign powers have insisted that their
citizens accused Of crime shall be tried
in consular courts. But the Turkish
subject must submit to the judicial
imperfections of the native courts.
Consequently justice. as the American
understands 1t, ia unknown to the av-
erage subject Of the Sultan. Along
with the corrupt and procrastinat ting
courts the people have to endure the
extortion of the tax-gatherers, who
levy what taxes they choose without

Of the financial administration have
developed the complications arising
from an unpaid and dissatisfied army,
to say nothing Of unpaid officials in
all other departments. Then, to cap
the pyramid Of folly, the Sultan at
tempts to look after all the details Of
administration. a task beyond the
physical power Of any man. Impor-
tant matters are delayed, and the Inn
patient people take things into their
own hands. On this fertile field of
discomfort the political agitator sows
his seed of insurrection. 1t was the
Macedonian revolutionary committee
which held Miss Stone, the mission
ary, for a ransom, that it might get
money to carry on It's work. The pa
tr1ots on occasion pose as brtgands.
and brigands, when it serves their
purpose, call themselves patriots. In
the hope Of bettering matters. Austria
and Russia prepared a plan last win
ter for improving the financial. judi
cial and civil administration Of the
district, and the Sultan accepted it.
So far as the plan. was applied it fail
ed to pacify the discontented, and seri-
Gus insurrection began in August.
What the outcome will be is useless
to prophesy. We know only that trou-
BILE will continue until the district is
governed by a strong man who does

with wings. beaks and talons, and
could hear the talons crack when they
struck and tore each other. The sounds
made by their wings as they buGeted
one another were Like explosions OF
musketry, while their screams and
wells sounded demoniAcal. The battle
lasted fully fifteen minutes and wound
up with a victory for old baldy, who
drove the gray eagle away and then
