Some people along the Pacific coast
see a real yellow peril in front of
them. They are forced to admit that it
is an exceedingly small one. 1t has
been decided by the government au-
thorities that the Chinese who were
residents of Hawaii at the time of it's
formal annexation to the United States
are American citizens to all intents and
purposes and are qualified to exercise
the right of suffrage. Quite a number
of these Cinnamon have moved from
Hawaii to different places in this coun-
try along the Pacific and they are en-
titled to vote at the coming presidential
election.

Freaks of Two Bullets.

A real curiosity in the shape of one
bullet imbedded in another one, is own
ed by Mount Washington man, a vet
eran of the Spanish war and the boxer
rebellion. The curiosity is an old
Springfield lead bullet in which is i'm
bedded one of the new bullets used by
the United States army, Krag-Jorgen-
sen. This was picked up at Chicka-
manga by the man while his regiment
was encamped there, waiting for orders
to leave for Cuba. The ground there
is full of the old bullets used in target
practice and, as the new Krag bullet
is steel-pointed, it Is thought the Kras

An Embarrassing Mistake.

A pathetic tale of Eskimo love is
told by Lieut.. Shackleton. the leader
of an Arctic expedition. A young Es-
kimo loved an Eskimo lass, but as he
had not the necessary number Of seal
skins to provide the marriage portion
required by her father, he met with no
encouragement from the stern parent.
A yawning chasm separated the re-
spective dwellings of the ardent lover
and his beloved, which could be cross
ed only by a snow bridge. The youth
conceived a plan. He would cross the
snow bridge in the night. abduct the
girl. and after recrossing destroy the
bridge. and so prevent pursuit. He
carried the plan into effect One
night he crossed the bridge, invaded
the hut of his idol, seized a sleeping
bag, and departed. destroying the
bridge after he had crossed. Then he
opened the sleeping-bag, and discov-
cred that he had abducted-not the
girl, but the old man.-Glasgow Her

FROM OTHER PENS
LIMITING ARMAMENrs.

Great Britain, We are told Is anxious
to have limitations put upon the build
Of ornaments. It has taken no Off
cial action, according to the story, but
Is conducting some sort OF secret cam
paign preliminary to an open invita-
ton to the opwers to cease straining
their financial resources in the build
ing of floating forts. This information
comes into the class of welcome, if
true.
AS usual. Germany is accused of be-
ing the intractable member of the
family of nations. Germany's war lord
desires to build a great navy-hang the
expense! Great Britain. with income
in excess of expenditures, is certainly
in a good position to argue this ques-
ton with Germany, whose expenses
exceed her income. But possibly lit
might do more to convince King Ed
wards nephew than a large amount Of
precept. The German Emperor GER
tainly knows that Great Britain and
the United States can stand the f1nan-
cial strain of building battleships long
er than he can. But while they con-
tinue to build at an increasing rate he
may be excused for doubling their pro-
LESSONS Of a desire for limitation. On
this principle We have advocated re-
duction of the American programme,
and we are quite certain nothing would
sooner convince William of the folly of
naval building than to find himself at
a disadvantage in the industrial field.
He is devoted to German industrial in
terests, even to the extent of promot-
ing the quarrels Of other nations

Insanity in New York State.

The Increase in insanity in our
state Is somewhat startling The
president of the state commission in
lunacy reports nearly $4,000 insane
people In the hospitals and sanitaria
of the state.
The rapid increase in the number of
inmates reveals the wear of body and
the wrecking Of mind due to our haste
in living and the constant strain Of
our soca1led twentieth century civili-
zatton. The inordinate haste to be-
come wealthy, the thousand and one
perplexities of life in a great metro
politan city, must be added to the sum
total. The rapid increase in the num-
Der of insane is shown by the admis-
sion of, the president of the commits
sion, who says that our institutions
are greatly overcrowded. In fact, the
buildings hold 2,309 inmates in excess
of their certified capacity. Such an ad-
mission indicates the price we pay for
a part of our modern civilization
