PESTS CAUSE AN
ENORMOUS Loss
Appropriation is Asked from Gov

of Moths and Cattle Ticks.
Farmers Of the New England States

Of Dollars as Result Of Depreda-

washington. explaining the pro

called attention to the ravages OF the
brown tail moths aud the Texas cat
II. tick. The former, he said, were
rapidly destroying the groves and for
ests of tie New England states, while
the Texas tick had been one OF the
greatest pests known The tick, ne
declared, was responsible for the guar
antine line which for nearly twenty
years has stretched across the coun-
try from one ocean to the other. The
annual cost of maintaining that line
to different states and the nation was
hardly less than 100000. That,
however he said, was the smallest
item inflicted upon TIE country by
the cattle tick. r.......
The loss to the north could not
even be guessed at, but he estimated
the annual loss suffered by the states
south of the line could not be less
than $4O,OO0,00O He therefore said
that It needed no argument to justify

LAUGHTER NOT ALWAYS GOOD.
Evidences Of Merrlment Sometimes by
No Means Satisfying,

"Of course, you have heard" said
the man with sensitive ear "a laugh
that Jared | don't mean" he con-
tinued, $50 much laugh at an mop
perfume time--I imagine we have all
heard such laughs-as a laugh the
quality of which is unpleasant. There
is something contagious in laughter
of the right kind, even though you
may be the object of it. 1t bubbles
from the well of good humor; there Is
no hidden thought. or 'arriere pensee,'
as the French say, behind it, 1t is the
essence of franlness; 1t is spontape-
Gus and wholesouled, and 1t cleanses
the system of the laughter, and, too,
of the nearer, like a spiritual bath.
But there are other kinds of laugh
ter. The sneering laugh is perhaps
the most familiar. Then there is a
quiet laugh-a sibilant secretive sort
of laugh that is quite as certain to
mean mischief Another laugh. dis
agreeable in its nature, is the high
pitched, nervous cachinatlon that
comes either from embarrassment or
is mere vocal habit. The worst
laugh of all, however, to my mind is
that mirthless sound provoked by the
distress or embarrassment of others,
and 1t rasps, naturally, most of all,
the object calling 1t forth. A. person
laughed at and hurt never forgets the
experience"

festation Of prejudice as against the
yellow, the bronze or the brown. But
f, the black-that is another story.
| A teacher in the Honolulu public
school, who has had charge of hundreds
of pupils of all races for many years,
admitted that the only time there has
ever been any trouble among the chill
dren on account of race prejudice was
when some American negro children
came to school. A distinguished negro
lawyer. now encouragement of Id
IBERIA, made a great onslaught on Ho-
nolulu politics and society few years
ago. Good New England sentiment
opposed him and stern New England
steel put him to flight.
There is still another feature of the
cosmopolitanism of Honolulu which is
quite different from anything that is
known in any of our cities on the main
land, not even excepting New York.
1t is an unpleasant feature, and there
but surely passing into the limbo of
forgotten things. This feature is the
political jealousy of the British and
German residents of Honolulu who
have have not yet recovered from their
chagrin because of American annex
alton. Many of them have not become
naturalized Americans, some of them
never will. The Britain in Honolulu
is quick to tell the visitor that it would
have been far better for Honolulu if
the Stars and Stripes had never been
unfurled over the Island. AT first he
suggests that the independence of the
monarchy was ideal, but if that could
not be maintained he is quite sure that
it would have been better to add Ha-
wall to the domain of Britannia.
The German is pessimistic and dis
gruntled and he is still hopping mad
because the United States will not let
him import Chinese 1aborers under
contract. Until a few years ago the
Church of England had a strong fol-
lowing here which aimed always to
secure British political supremacy The |
work of this Church has been taken |
over by the American Protestant Epis- |
copal church and many of the old |
wounds caused by the battles between |
the British and the missionary parties |
nave been healed. But this is a pass |

has greater number of periodicals
printed in different languages than any
city of its size in the United States.
The Japanese element is the most
aggressive of any of the non-European
peoples in the city. The Chinese were
content for many years to remain
within that quarter of the town set |
apart for them, but the Japanese have |
resented such a distinction and have |
overfiowed with both shops and homes |
