The Importance of Enunciation.

Beyond the mastery of language, which is important of itself, and which is of value even if the student is in
 tending always to write and never 10 speak it, isN the art of enunciation. This is secondary perhaps, of the higher education, but it is not to be dismissed lightly as of small account
 In these days of hurry we have re- duced the written version of English to the briefest and terscst possible forms, expressing in a note of twenty words that on which our forebears wasted q letter of six pages. We have also substituted as far as practicable the personal interview for the written communication. because a man can travel faster than a letter, and state ment and response can be grouped in one quick exchange of ideas face to face. Hence the greater necessity tnaa ever before Of teaching young persons not only what to say. which is express sion, and the sounds of words. which IS pronunciation, but how tn make those sounds distinctly with their own organs of speech which is enunciation
 There is probably not a business man within reach of these lines who could not cite on the instant a dozen illustra- tions of the point we are making as developed from his own daily expert ence. If he sends a clerk on an errand,

The Camel Experiment in Arizsra.

The death of Hi Jolly, a Greek resi- dent of Tyson Wells, A. T., who was erroneousIy reported to have introduced the camel into America for service as a beast of burden, reVivcs q curious page in the military annals of the country. In 1853 congress appropriated $50. 900 for the purchase and importa- tion of camels, with a view t0 eXperi- mcnts Joking to the use of that animal as an aid to army transportation" across what was then popularIy called the great American desert, embracing California. Arizona, New Mexico and the greater part of northern Texas. Congress was influenced to take th,s action because cf the successful use of the camel in semi civilized warfare Dy the French in Algeria and by the Brit ish in the orient.
 It fell to the lot of Jefferson Davis. then secretary Of war and later the president of the concaderacy, to carry out the wishes of congress. He de- tailed Lieutenant (afterward admiraD D. D. Porter, United States navy, and Major Henry C. Payne, United States army. to proceed to northern Africa and Asia Minor to buy the beasts. The expedition brought back seventy-fve camels, one drove of thirty-one being shipped in the naval store ship Supply and another of forty-one in the United States warship Suwanee. Both vessels landed their live cargoes at Indianola, Texas, February 10, 1857. They were driven thence to Camp Verde, in the care of three Arab camel drivers wno were brought out for the purpose un- der a years contract. That year, in response to request from the senate. Secretary Davis made an elaborate re- port of the expedition, which was suo- sequently published as an illustrated volume of 300 pages.
 The experiment was not success. Its failure was attributed to the fact that the camels became footsore and stalled as soon as they attempted to travel over the rocky country outside the sandy plains. and it ended in the release of the animals in the Colorado desert to shift fer themselves. There the camels thrived and multiplied. One of the herds contained over one hun dred head. But miners and prospectors did not take kindly to their presence. because they stampeded pack animals and other domesticated stock whenever they came in sight. It resulted finally in war of cXtermination being waged against them as common nuisances. and what few escaped that raid were. eight or nine years ago, slaughtered by the Arizona Indians for their flesh. Although this experiment. with the camel as beast of burden in America failed. the failure was probably due f, a misuse of the animal rather than 70 any natural shortComing in t. as its great value as burden-bearcr in Af- rica and Asia is uadoubted.-Dcu Republican.

 "The Girl of the Future"

At just the point where there should have been after dinner cordials, at the anniversary feast of New York's Pil- grim Mothers, Miss Josephine Dodge Daskam administered bitters. It was Miss Daskam's privilege to respond to the toast to "The Girl of the Future" :" "I hope" said the fair speaker. ''she may find no greater responsibilities. no wider paths, no more difficulties than the girl of the present has" This was treason to the cause of the advanced woman, and Miss Daskam proceeded 60 make the most and the worst of it.
 She would advise the girl of the fu- ture, as between her ever ever presen; privileges and her rights, ito hang on to her privileges and let her rights go.'- OminOUs silence in the serried ranks of Mothers.

 Somebody excused the bold speak CTS heresies on the ground that in stead of being a school teacher or a civil service employe she is only a sue cessful writer who "gets the same for her books as the men do." Yet it must be that there are circles in which Miss Daskam will be looked upon as no Pil- grim, and a stranger to the higher as pirations of her seX.-New York World.

The news is not surprising. It would be surprising in the extreme, however, should it be ascertained some time that the vigilant missionary had remained away from some of the numerous countries in which he can Go no good.

American Capital in Mexico.

That American investments in Mex ico have reached an enormous sum Is generally known but heretofore no re- liable estimate of the total has been available. In a recent report to the state department, Consul General A. D. Barlow arrives at the the conclusion that $500 OOO,OO gold is the amount Of American capital invested in Mexico by 1,117 American companies, firms and individuals. This sum has practically a century, and about half of it has been invested within the past five years. Mexico buys J8 per cent of all her i'm ports from the United States and sells and with this enormous investment of American capital in Mexico, the com merciaI bond between the sister repuO- lies is one that can hardly be broken. It is one, too, that is constantly grow in6 in strength.
 According to MT. Barlow, the flow or American capital into Mexico has ap- parently only begun. Each year Mex ico buys more from and sells more to the United States. The community of interest is growing daily. Seventy per cent of the total is invested in rail roads, all of the lines in the country but three being owned by American capital.
 American mining interests come next, the total investment reaching SO,OOO,O ,OOO a large part Of which has machinery. Twenty-eight millions of American capital is invested in agrl- culture, which comes next to mining. Manufactures rank fifth in the list Of American investments there.
 Other enterprises include banks, trust companies, electric light and power plants, gas and water works plants. telephone systems and other similar industries.
 The federal district, which practically means the City of Mexico, is credited with S320. 800, ,OO0 of American capital in- vested. II should be understood that all of this capital is not invested in the City of Mexico. Of this amount $2S1,- SOO,O ,OCO is credited to the railways hay ing their main offices in that city. These railroads extend to all parts of the republic, but it is impossible to credit to each state and territory -s proportionate share of the capital so invested.
 Another large item is that of mining interests, which have their main offices i1 that city, from which are operated their various properties throughout the republic. The same is true of other large items. The state showing the largest amount of American capital in- vested is Coahuila, with $4S, 700, ,OOO.
 The next state in the order of Amer ican capital invested is Sonora, with s37 5OO. GOO, of which s27, 500. .0OO is claimed to be interested in mining enterprises. It is known that some of the amounts claimed by or for certain mining com panies operating in that state are very greatly exaggerated, and therefore the amount of American capital invested in Sonora is estimated to be very little in excess of the amount credited to the state of Chihuahua (S31 900, ,OOO Ana while Consul-General Barlow does not say so, it is undoubtedly a fact that most of the American capital invested

The Coal Situation Still Serious.

The scarcity of anthracite coal in New York and other eastern cities Is certainly puzzling. For more than a month the mines have been in full op- eration, and a 'coal famine" appears 70 be just as imminent now as it was q day or two before the miners returned to work under the truce which now pre- vails Before the resumption of opera tions the coal operators were claiming that they were producing a large quaE- tity of coal, and that in a short time they would be independent of the striH- CTS. Why they are not able to supply the market demands now is ineXplIca- ble.
 A dispatch from New York on Tues day of this week stated that the deal CTS were predicting that anthracite coal would sell for $2O a ton within a week. The price now is from $10 to SIP a ton. and the bituminous product is selling for $9, whereas a year ago it was worth but $2.5O. It is stated that while the for 35, GOO to 5O.OOO tons of anthracite daily, but 21.OOO tons are going into that market on the average. If this is so, it is obvious that a coal famine of serious proportions is not far off.
 It is now apparent that if the strik- CTS had stood out against any compro- mise or arbitration, the suffering in tine great cities this winter would have been indescribable.

assassination of a President, the result
of the America cup races, or of a great
battle in the squared circle. The enter
prise shown by The Star in signalling
news from incoming steamers before
the advent of the cable, has in num-
Der of instances been as striking in a
small sphere, as any of the great feats
of journalism which are the boast and
pride of the profession.
The enterprise of The Star, adapting
itself to new conditions, is shown again
in the issue of a second edition each
day, made useful and necessary by the
advent of the Pacific Gable. The cable
puts us in touch with the events Of the
world. But these because of the differ
ence of time and the fact that the ac-
tive world is to the east of us, happen
for the most part, while the day is yet
comparatively early with us. Yet why
the cable, if after the news of the world
is brought to us, publication is delayed?
The Star has ever held that news gains
nothing by being withheld. 1t publish
es its cable news promptly. Yet much
of our own day is still undeveloped.
Hence the second edition which has
been such an unqualified success from
the start. 1t contains all the news OF
the world up to nearly midnight of the
day of publication, in London, and 8
o'clock in New York. and to half past
three in Honolulu. 1t is the paper that
gives all of today's news today. 1t is

A COMPLETE NEWSPAPER.

The Star inaugurates system which
will enlist in its service a large number
of the brightest boys and girls of the
schools. Besides the liberal payment
for their services which they will re-
CeiVe, and the chance they will have,
in proportion to their effective activity
and industry, in the liberal prizes Of
fered, they will gain experience along
practical lines of education. The Star
will be benefited by their efforts, and
through its increased circulation, the
community will be benefited. For the
daily newspaper is one of the greatest
factors of modern life in the education
of the community and the influence OF
the clean, enterprising, honest and
well edited daily newspaper is always
for good
Such paper The Star not only claims
to be, but is recognized to be. In the
development and improvement of the
newspapers of Hawaii The Star has
had a leading part. How great the de-
Velopment and improvement has been
in the past decade a comparison of is
sues of then and now, will strikingly
show. In all this development and inn
provement The Star has been the in

1t is complete newspaper giving all
the news of it's field in a straightfor-

1t is well edited. The daily paper can
hardly hope ever to become the model
of style or literary form. Yet it ought
to attempt to eliminate the uncouth

this respect there can be no doubt that
taken one day with another the year
through, The Star greatly surpasses all
of its contemporaries.
1t is enterprising. From the eXcit-
