In my Judgment, immediate steps
should be taken for the fortihcation Of
Hawaii. This is the most important
point in the Pacific to fortify IN order
TO conserve the interests Of this c0un-
try. II would be hard to oyerstate the
Importance OF this need. Hawaii is too
heavily taxed. Laws should be enact
ed setting aside for period Of, say.
twenty years 70 per cent Of the Internal
revenue and customs receipts from fIa-
wall as n special fund TO be expended
in the islands.
/ earnestly advocate the adoption Of
legislation which will explicitly confer
American citizenship on all citizens Of
Porto Rico.
wish also 10 call the attention Of
the congress TO one question which af-
fects our insular possessions generally
namely. the need Of an increased lib
erality in the treatment Of the whole
franchise question I'm these islands.
earnestly ask that Alaska be given
an elective delegate.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Active work In canal construction,
mainly preparatory, has been in prog
ress for less than year and hah.
During that period two points about
the canal have ceased to be open 10
debate. First, the question Of route
second, the question Of feasibility. The
point which remains unsettled is wheth-
er the canal shall be one OF several
locks above sea level or at sea level
with a single tide lock. On this point
| hope TO lay before the congress at an
early day the findings Of the advisory
board Of American and European en-
gineers.

Of excavation on n large scale.

PHILIPPINES AND OTHER j
LANDS.

During the last year the Philippine
Islands have been slowly recovering
from the series Of disasters which since
American occupation have greatly re-
duced the amount Of agricultural prod
ucts below what was produced In Span
ish times.
The agricultural conditions Of the IS
lands enforce more strongly than ever
the argument in favor Of reducing the
tariff on the products Of the Philippine
Islands entering the United States. l
earnestly recommend that the tariff
now imposed by the Dingley bill upon
the products OF the Philippine Islands
be entirely removed. except the tariff
on sugar and tobacco, and that that
tariff be reduced to 25 per cent Of the
present rates under the Dingley act;
that after July /. 1909, the tariff upon
tobacco and sugar produced In the
Philippine Islands be entirely removed
and that free trade between the islands
and the United States In the products

Michael Angeles Work,

Michael Angelo relied almost entirely
upon form-the form of the figure and
of the draperies. He told Pope Julian
H., when the latter requested him to
paint the ceiling Of the Sistine chapel
at Rome, that he was not q painter,
but sculptor; yet, after he had shut
himself up for four years-from 1903
to 1512-and the scaffold was removed,
a result had been achieved which Is
without parallel in the world Very
wonderful is the work which Michael
Angelo spread over this vast area of
10000 square feet. The fact that
there are 343 principal figures, many
Of colossal size, besides q great num-
Der of others introduced for decora-
tive effect, and that the creator of this
vast scheme was only thirty-three
when he began his work-all this Is
marvellous, prodigious, and yet not SO
marvellous as the variety Of expression
in the figures Of which Jeremiah is on.

The Cruelty of Pate de FOie Gras.

To eat pate de fois gras is luxury,
but to prepare the delcacy for the table
is prolonged torture-for the goose The
Humanitarian league Of England has
issued pamphlet on the subject. Eve
behold" says an eyewitness, ''innu-
merable geese in this torture chamber,
bound fast to the table They lie on
their backs as if crucifed. We watch
ed how the women pressed some new
victims against the tables SO that the
hinder parts should hang over the
edge" Two months of torture for the
goose are considered necessary before
its liver is sufficiently diseased to lie
marketable The fowls are fed to re-
pletion with sailed maize, and by this
means the liver is increased to the alb
normal weight Of two or even three
pounds. Strassburg and Toulouse are
the chief places Of manufacture and
the trade amounts to several hundred
thousand dollars annually.

A Royal AccempIice.

One day when Francis I. was in his
chapel attending mass with several Of
his noblemen a well dressed pickpocket
went and stood behind the cardinal Of
Lorraine and distracted his purse, but
unable to do this without the king per-
ceiving it he put up his finger to init
mate that the latter should keep 81
lence The king took it for practical
joke and said never word. But aft
er the service he asked the cardinal
what he had done with his purse. The
prelate, not being able to find it. was
very much annoyed and took the king
to task, who greatly enjoyed the fun,
and at length ordered the purse to be
restored to the cardinal. The thief
did not, however, come forward, and
the king discovered too late that be
had leen tricked.

Our baldheaded eagle, SO called be-
cause the feathers on the top Of his

nralist. Like Washington, he is brave
and fearless, and as his name and great
ness are known the world over so can
the eagle soar to heights beyond others.

Of the United States in 1875, since when

Belated Spring.

For people of the human race,
Where winter winds are tempered

Warmed up bit before they come:
1 want no more of snow and ice,
And when 1 think of some device
For melting storms and thawlng cold,
Iwant to live till 1 grow old.
I used to wish for creeks to freeze
Sol could skate and cough and
sneeze.
But now those pleasures have grown
old,
The winter sp,rts have all been told {.
For me, give me the summers sun,
With juicy fruits and muskmelon;
And garden truck of every kind,
Leave winters blasts so far behind.
That am tempted many a time
To move unto southern cline,
Where winter winds will ne'er be felt,
There won't be any snow to melt.
But | could sit right here and write
Until my hair turned nearly white,
But must work to make ends meet,
No matter if 1 freeze my feet.
I cannot thrive without | toll.
Unless had some Standard Oil;
I wouldn't care then where I live,
If hundred thousands I could give
Each year to set my mind at ease;
I'd live as easy as you please.

A GORGEOUS SIGHT.

The Way an Eskimo Belle Looks
When Dressed For n Dance.
When an Eskimo young lady goes to
a ball she is a gorgeous sight to gaze
upon. A traveller reports Just how n
belle was dressed on such an occasion.
Her dress was made Of the intestines
Of seal, split md sewed together.
This makes transparent garment and
the girl trimmed it with elaborate en-
broidery OF colored worsteds and
fringed It with strings of beads. Her
trousers were white and made OF ST.
berian reindeer skin embroidered with
strips OF wolf skin. Her hair was
braided on each side with strips Of
wolf skin and strips Of beads. Heavy
necklaces and pendants Of beads and
teeth of animals hung around her neck
and over her shoulders.
Snow white gloves made Of fawn
skin were on her hands. These fitted
perfectly and were ornamented with
strips of skin from some anlmal-per-
haps the seal To complete this elab-
crate outfit this Eskimo belle carried
long eagle feathers, one in each hand,
which she waved as she danced

THE FLUTEO COLUMN.
Why the Greeks Adopted This Form
In Their Architecture.


Why the Greeks Adopted This Form
In Their Architecture.
The Greeks observed that a smooth
column melted In the light and that its
lines were vague and uncertain, writes
Jean Schoepfer In the Architectural
.ccOrd Magazine. In order to restore
80 denniteness they conceived the idea
Of nuting 1t. The sharp ridges Of the
Fittings, catching the light, contrastcd
with the dark hollows, thus giving
body to the column and emphasizing
the vertical outline Of the edficc
whence n double advantage. This dis
covery could never have been made on
paper.
Then, as the abacus OF the capital
casts a shadow upon the top OF the
column, the junction Of capital and col
umn becomes indistinct. To restore the
necessary effect the Greek cuts several
deep lines at the point Of junction, and
to emphasize them he paints them In
dark tone Even the curve OF the cir
cular torus carrying the abaCus Is so
designed that the bright light, striking
upon the relief. shall fade into shaded
half tint toward the hollow. Thus, rs
Violet le Due truly says, the Greek
preserves even in appearance the forms
which his reason tells him to adopt as
being the best and most enduring.
