GREAT.

Great is our import trade. It has al- most doubled .n the seven" years since 1898. In that year the United States imported $6S5, 100000 worth of goods. In the calendar year of 1905 we imported $1,179, 100000 worth And despite this big increase we are sending other coun- tries more than we take from them. Never were more of our manufactures sent abroad. Closer and more incessant business results. And this big import trade of ours means a vast increase of wealth and luxury at home Vast iti- deed Is the increase of wealth in this country in tte last few years. It runs far into the hundreds of millions Pros perity has smiled upon this land of ours, and good government helps mat ters. For years our grain fields have yielded enormous crops; crop failures, which mean disaster, especially in the west, have been unknown for years. Many will remember a different state of things It was not many years ago when crops failed year after year suc- cessively Then was when the mighty west groaned. when the farmers suffer- ed, when farm mortgages had to be foreclosed, when the big railroads fought for business. and when the prices of the stocks of great western railroad lines, and of eastern roads as 1 well, fell enormously. Those who pick ed up the stock of good roads at or near the prices of that calamity period and held on have fared mighty well, Will nature again give us great crops this year? That Is a question that only time can solve.

NOTEWORTHY.

A noteworthy and most gratifying in- dication accompanying the general Chi nese awakening now in progres is the statement reported by the three Bible societies, the British, Scotch and Amer ican, that their circulation of the Scrip lures in that country in 1904 was 2,3OS,- 1O9 copies. The significance of this is strengthened by the fact that the out put does not represent mere charitable work, but the demand of the Chinese themselves. Of the more than one mil lion copies circulated by the British and Foreign Bible Society all but 33,273 were sold. Here we may also note the remarkable development of journalism in China. Shanghai, with a population only about two-thirds as great as Bos- | ton, has the same number of daily newspapers-nine, four of which are in the Chinese language. Hong Kong, just half as large, has ten dailies, in- cluding six Chinese. In both places there are a large number of Chinese weeklies Local dialectic newspapers are being started all over the empire, and, according to Consul Anderson, of Annoy, much of the anti-foreign agita~ tion which has caused so much trouble of late is to be traced to such publica- tions. Many of them appear to be of the agitator type, filled with articles l tending to create discord, foster preju- dices and foment strife. In addition to these are many Chinese religious pa- pers published by the missionary socie- ties which have large circulations and are forming an important factor in the regeneration of the educational and so- cial system of the nation. Most of the foreign publications are in English, but there is a French daily and a German weekly at Shanghai, and a Portuguese | weekly at Hong Kong.

To an Old Lover.

There is silvery frost on your hair, old
 boy
 There are lines on your forehead,
 too; But your clear eyes speak of the peace That dwell in the heart of you. For the passing of youth you have no
 regret,
 No signs for the summer gloam And the lovers moon. They are with
 you yet In the light of the lamp at home. In your summer of youth in that
 sunny hour That will come to you never again, When you wooed your love, as the bee
 the flower, The sweets that you gathered then You have hived and stored for your
 later life. And your heart is the honeycomb-- An! I've seen your face when you
 kissed your wife In the light of the lamp at home. o! you rare old lover! O! faithful
 knight,
 With your sweetheart of long ago, You are many days from the warmth
 and light
 or the summers you used to know; But you need not yearn for the glamor
 and gold
 Of the fields you were wont to
 roanl-- o! the light for the hearts that are growing old Is the light of the lamp at home.

mals, but what it will be who shall say?
 Tt seems to me that the scientist who does this will be able to determine the physical form of his creation after the development has started ,and he will have created new order of life, for this being will multiply in it's own form indefinitely, just the same as all our modern animals.
 T am not a biologist I am just a chemist; I cannot say wheather this creation of man will be crustacean, an- phibinan, mammalin or whether biped quadroped, fish, fowl or reptile; can only say that after careful study of what has been accomplished am over whelmed at the inevitable probabilities. l know that by inorganic processes or ganic being can be produced, and fu- ture generations may be furnished with a living lession in the doctrine of evolution. Who knows but a new order of humanity may be created? Our science is young. Some of the most important branches of chem istry have been known but twenty years. We cannot yet fully explain the fact and phenomena of life, and after all, living thing is nothing but a system of energy, and felt is but a matter of chemistry"

The Yokohama Mail reports the for nation of Japanese beer trust, the three beer companies, the Nippon, the Sapporo, and the Osaka, having agreed to unite and form one concern. This result IS said to have been brought about largely by the advice of the min ister of state for agriculture and com- merce. The manufacture of beer in Japan amounted to 3,SOO,OOO gallons in 1904, being almost double the produc- tion in 1902. However, the production of 1901, before the imposition of, a tax. reached 4,Soo,OoO gallons. The exports of beer in 1904 were valued at $375OOO, while for the first ten months of 1905 the exports reached $65O0OO. Japan is increasing her sales of beer in Korea and China.

Prof Ostwald, Of Leipsic Predicts Amazing Evolution of Discoveries.
 Man. through his advanced science nal develop into a creator himself, in the opinion of Prof. Wilhelm Ost- wald, of the University of Leipsic, in a lecture at Columbia University on the results of the attempts to create life through chemical processes, says the New York World
 Prof. Ostwald has given careful at tention to the experiments of Prof. Jacques Loeb, of the University of Cal iforfnia, and announces with confidence his belief that by slow development science may even create a type of life as high as that of our domestic ami mals.
 The steps will be slow, ono form Of life will be produced after another, and eventually the professor expects some thing almost akin to man in it's physi- cal being may be produced.
 | Prof. Oswald is a bold thinker and q draing talker. His belief that man may eventually usurp some of the functions of the Creator Is, he says, based on careful study and research; and that some new form of being of the highest type with the ability to propagate it's kind. will walk the earth, as a product of advanced science, he considers as certain as that modern mechanical in- vention will take Harvard strides in the coming century.
 There is practically no limit to what man can do in this direction" he said "Of course, at first he will be able to produce only piece of protoplasm, something like the water hydra or the resemblance to the sea urchin that Prof, Loeb has evolved but 1t will be instinct with real life and will be a step in the new evolution.

TELL THIS TO THE MARINES

Consul Van Sant, of Kingston, Can- ada, writes that a marine school has recently been opened in Kingston, the first session being atentded by 100 candidates for masters and mates certificates. The object is to enable the Canadian sailors of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River to better comprehend the innNmerable details in tlie work connected with their profess sion. The Canadian department of marine is giving more attention to the needs and requirements of the inland water trade. A prCper understanding of his compass, a thorough knowledge of deep water channels and the rules of the road, and the use of lead lines and log, along with handling the larger vessels, seem to be the chief topics to be studied in this school. The rules of the road should be better understood on both sides of the border, as recent instances in waters adjacent to King

THE HABITS OF THE RABBITS.

THE HABITS OF THE RABBITS.
 One morning after light fall of snow during my walk through the fields and woods. I saw rabbit track and mink track together, I follow 1 ed the trail to see what had happened. had not gone far upon the snow; a few yeards farther and there were drops of blood, the rabbits leaps growing shorter and shorter, and in a few moments I came upon the half l devoured body of the rabbit lying in the open.
 That the mink had run the rabbit down and caught it was as plain as the snow record could be. There was no hiding under the snow by the mink and not the least evidence that the rabbit had been surprised. Rabbits see behind them quite as readily as before, and no animal could steal upon moving rabbit at night and not be seen.
 And rabbits are always moving at night. It Is a nocturnal animal It does not sit in it's form at night to be stalked by its enemies, or to be taken by any sapping and mining pro- cess. In daylight weasel might steal upon 1t and seize it in it's form, but not at night.
 In my port of the country the rab- bit runs to hole in the winter and passes the day there. The boys catch 1t with ferrits. The mink and weasels catch 1t In its hole alone My hired man, who Is an old hunter, tells me he once saw upon the snow where a mink had brought rabbit out of a hole and carried him a long distance to his den,
 He followed the trail and saw by the imprint upon the snow that every little while the mink had to lay down his burden and rest,-John Burroughs in the Outing.

We also learn from some reports that China is throwing off the lethargy of ages" awakening from sleep" "girding her lolns," and paw ing the earth with blood in her eyes" while we are told that hundreds of Japanese officers are drilling Chinese troops, and learn ing them the modern ways of war.

probably permanently. He has resigned
as Deputy Collector of Customs for the
SUPPORT of Hilo and will accept a position
at Washington under the Comptroller Of
the Currency. Mr.. Ridgway left for the

Mr.. Ridgway left Hilo without an
n%ouucing his intentions, and the public
generally was surprised at the news of
his departure. Had it been known that
he was about to go to Washington with
the possibility that he would not return,
a farewell reception would no doubt have
been accorded him. Mr.. Ridgway oc-
cupied a prominent position in Hilo,
socially and in the business world, and
had many friends who, regretting to lose
him from their midst, will wish for him
elsewhere the success his abilities should
command.
