CARTER AND
HIS RESIGNATION

the idea that he need even consider the
matter of resigning if Brown were
elected. They argued to the governor
that the support of Brown as against
himself was q matter of party loyalty
with many, and that lot of citizens
who were the strongest supporters Of
Carriers administration were going TO
vote against Carter and for Brown.
Whether the resignation proposition
was discussed at this mornings meet
ing or not, is not known. Carter af-
ter the meeting stated that he had
nothing to say in comment upon the
result of the election. He had con-
ference with F. n. p. Waterhouse, who
managed the regular Republican cam
paign, after the meeting with the 9TH
ers.
During the campaign the resignation
proposition was discussed more or less
by speakers, but nothing definite was
given out on the subject. There has
been no pronouncement from the gov
ernor, however and there is no means
Of knowing how far the discussion has
gone. Tt is certain that the governor
was at the start of the campaign dis
posed to take the position that if the
voters opposed him to the extent Of
electing Brown, he would feel disposed
to get out of the gubernatorial chair.
Yesterdays vote is likely to attract
considerable attention in mainland po-
litical circles, as indicating a serious
split among Republicans here. The
governors opposition to the regular
ticket is calculated to cause consider
able discussion.

1t was found that cattle would eat
this cactus-eat it clear to the ground,
roots and all-eXterminate it in fact.
The lessee of the Island of Kahoolawe,
who is carrying on a ranch on that
island, planted several thousand cut
tings of the spineless cactus on his
island ranch, preparatory to a drought
when cactus will be both food and
drink to his cattle He took the pre-
caution to enclose his cactus orchard
within a corral, otherwise the cattle
would eat it up, roots and all.
q. p Wilder sent a piece Of this
cactus to Luther Burbank telling him
all that was known of it, and asking
him what it's relation was to that
which he was developing. Mr.. Bur-
bank has written back that this is
probably species that has been in
troduced here, perhaps from Africa
where there is a very similar spineless
cactus. Burbank says that there are
a number of spineless cacti in various
parts of the world. But they all have
much less food value than the thorny
cactus, and the kind that he is de-
veloping is succulent variety and
will have a very high food value.
Mr.. Wilder says that in droughts in
these islands CATTLE eat the cactus,
thorny as it is or rather the young
shoots where the spines have not be-
come as hard and painful as in the
older growth. Their tongues, and
DesophagUs become filled with the
spnes but in their suffering for water
and food they persist in eating the
cactus, nevertheless. A spineless cac-
tus with the same succulence as the
ordinary thorny cactus of these islands
Mr. Wilder thinks would have q very
great food value for cattle, especially
in regions subject to drought.

JAPANESE wHALERs.
The Curious Way They Do Their
Work with Nets and Knives.

The Curious Way They Do Their
Work With Nets and Knives.
Whales are captured in nets by the
Japanese. The whalers put or from
the shore as quietly as possible, and
when they come within the proper dis
lance Of their objective the boats,
which have hitherto worked In couples,
separate and, dropping their nets as
they 60, work around to the rear and
tanks Of their expected kill. The nets
are made In large squares, each side
being about forty feet long. One net
is composed OF six squares in line, and
the squares are fastened to each other
lightly. When all Is ready the boats
which have been worked around to the
rear of the whale then to
drive him gently toward the nets. Nov
ing along lazily at FIRST, the whale soon
realizes that something untoward is
happening and, hurrying forward,
dashes on to one of the nets. This Is the
critical moment, and when the fisher
men see that the whale Is well in the
center of one of the squares they raise
a great shout and charge In upon him.
When the whale is about spent a man
chosen for his strength, activity, pluck,
GOODNESS and general fitness for his
work then leaps upon his back and
with a great triangular shaped knife
proceeds to cut'two great gashes in his
body just back Of his head. Through
the underlying blubber and these two
gashes he passes a rope and, knotting
1t, makes a loop Of it. He then repeats
the same operation as far back on his
body as he cam. When the fight has
been completely Knocked out Of the
whale, boats range alongside Of him,
and by the help Of the loops already
mentioned the hapless cetacean is
slung between them in such a manner
as to minimize the danger Of his car
cass sinking.
Then the boats form In procession,
and, making for the shore, there com
mences the most curious part Of the
whole affair. The whaleTs, with real
feryor and in the most solemn manner
possible, begin a chanting prayer for
the ease OF the departing spirit by call
Ing out "Joraku! Joraku! Jorakuy" in
low, deep tones. Upon the third day
after the kill a memorial service is
held in the village temple, and prayers
are offered for the repose OF the dead

The Japanese nightingale is, perhaps. the
most charming little bird In existence. He
Is more beautifully colored than most small
birds, being olive green above. with orange

and breast with the most exquisite shading
of primrose yellow and glowing orange. His
eyes are, If anything, darker and more Ius-

Pay of College Professors.

At the present time The salaries of most
college teachers are as high as the salaries
of most clergymen of the cities or town in
which these colleges are placed. There are
of course. exceptions upon each side In
Cleveland, for instance, salaries are paid to
clergymen higher than are paid to any CO.
lege officer. But in Cambridge and Boston
as high salaries are paid to college officers
as are paid TO any clergyman. The higher
salaries paid in the University of Chicago
are probably about equal to the higher sal
aries paid to the clergymen of thai city.

larger amounts than are the stipends pa

The same remark might be made respect

those paid to college professors. It would

that there are other elements In the work

Mexico's French Claret.
From Modern Mexico.

From Modern Mexico.
The Russian peasant is an admirer of
bright colored clothes, and as consequence
for many years there has been an excellent
market for log wood in Russia as a brilliant
red dye is extracted from it. The market,
however for this dye wood has been very
poor indeed during the last eight or ten
months, on account of the war with Japan,
which Is making the people so poor that
they are unable to wear as many or as bril-
liant clothes formerly. The port of Bor-
deaux is also good market for log wood
where 1t helps to make .'first-class, pure
claret.' One of the arguments of the tenn
perance folks against wine drinking Is that
most of the red wines are dyed and adul-
terated with log wood. However If any
thing, this is really argument in favor
of the wine, as the juice of log wood is a
very excellent tonic and in the coast coun-
tries of Mexico log-wood chips STEPPED in
water. which Is then made into lemonade
by the aid of lemon juice and sugar, is one
of the standard tonic remedies for people
who are run down from malaria and besides
being a tonic it is a very pleasant drink.
Probably from health point of view the
French claret would be better II made en-
tireiy out of logwood. In France one Of
the remedies used by physicians in cases
of extreme debility is bath in claret wine
al in the same way in the hot countries OF
Mexico baths in an infusion OF log wood
are used.
