The motor mind" then. however

Great Hawaii Pineapple Crop.
Hawaiian reports indicate a record
pineapple crop for 1908. Conservative
estimates place the shipments, chiefly
| to the mainland of the United States,
at more than 100000 cases of sliced,
crushed, and grated Hawaiian pine
apple or about 100000 cans. Six

| Hawaii, the output was barely 1000
cases.
Importers, tobbers, and retailers re-
| port a steady, rapid growth in demand.
The prediction in the local market is
that all that part of the pack which
reaches New York will be disposed of
in this country. Little of the Hawaiian
pineapple crop goes in export, because,
while there is a market abroad, the
present production is not more than
adequate to supply the American de-
mand. The industry, however, is grow

pineapple cultivation, there are now

This Porcupine a Real Hog.
Jack and Jill. the pair of por-
cupines in the Bronx Zoo. are ex-

them eat a quart or so every day. A

Keeper DAILY thought he'd give the
gully pair a treat. Accordingly he
emptied a small measure. about two
quarts into the Enclosure.
Now Jack. the head of the house,

the slow wadd1e peculiar to his kind,
he seized a big pippin and started Off
Then he suddenly remembered that
it was dangerous to leave so much
fruit behind, and, scattering the
apples, he rolled on his back on top

as many apples, and carrying his
load, impaled, he scrambled over to
