lPlneapples Prosper.


In the meantime the diversified or
minor Industries are enjoying sea-
son of present prosperity and very at
tractive prospects. The pineapple
pack this year is larger than ever be-
fore and II is practically all sold. This
Is most unusual condition for the
local pineapple growers, who were
very much afraid that they would
have the worlds markets over
stocked. For the first time in many
years Hawaiis surplus canned pine
apple stock has been taken up and
the next season will start with this
years crop cleared from the market.
Hawaii's pineapple growers and
Gamers have prolted first from the
protective tariff that has practically
shut out the Singapore pine. They
have also been helped by the cold
weather thta hit the fruit crop of the
middle west As matter of fact the
situation is such that this Territory
practically supplies the mainland
market and has the folds with which
to keep pace with the increased con-
sumption.
The pineapple men have been de-
veloping n European market with
good success.
Owing to the reduction OF prices
made during the period when pineap-
pies were glut on the market, the
prices for the standard grades are not
such as to give great profit, but the

Manufactured Rubies.

Rubies weighing so carats can be
built up. These rubies after they have
cooled are split lengthwise. They are
cut and polished, the final polishing
being done with tripoli and water.
The cut gems ready for the market
are worth about 40 cents a carat.
This price is insignificant as com
pared with that of the natural Burma
ruby, whose market value is almost
fabulous. Chemically, OFFICIALLY and
physically the Scientific" rubies are
identically the same as the natural
stones. Even in both forms the micro
scopic air bubbles called frogs or
"inclusions' are present.
Lacroix, the geologist and mineralo-
gist, asserts that the artificial ruby
cannot be distinguished from the nat
ural, while Pinier, a leading gem ex-
pert of Paris, claims that they can
readily be distinguished. At any rate
the pawnbrokers of Paris have placed
rubies under the ban, and it is almost
impossible to secure loans when
rubies of any description are offered
as security.-Popular Mechanics.

MUCH CRIME DUE TO DRINK
Marked Decrease in Convictions for
Drunkenness in City of London
Detailed Returns.

According to returns prepared for
the home office by assistant clerks at
the Mansion house and Guildhall Jus
tice rooms the number of persons pros
ecuted in the city of London (proper)
during the past year was for summary
offences, 1880, as compared with 5,533
in 1908, and $3.50 in 1903. The num-
Der of persons convicted of those
offences %(including 906 in respect of
drunkenness) was 1926, against 4,145
(1,10S for drunkenness) in 1908, and
5,063 (2,226 for drunkenness) in 1903.
OF indictable crimes LOGS were report
ed, as against 1,017 in 1908, and 1894
in 1903. The number of ap-prehensions
in connection with these was $40 last
year. In 1908 there were 664 arrests,
and 1903 773. The day population of
the city is over 100000; the night
population 26,923. The principal fea-
ture in these returns as noted in press
comments is the very marked de-
crease in convictions for drunkenness,
which were last year considerably less
than one-balf of those recorded six
years ago.

CHINA'S STRUGGLE ON OPIUM
World Now Convinced of Nations
Determination to Wipe Out
Terrible Curse.

1t took years of effort on China's
part to convince the world that she
was in earnest in her determination
to blot out the opium curse. But the
world knows it now. Under the i'm
perial edict, the acreage on which
peoples can be grown is to be de-
creased each year until after ten
years have elapsed it will be Illegal

selves from the habit. 1t is a fire.
quent occurrence for the smokers of
whole towns to bring their pipes and
pile them up in the market place and
burn them as a sacrifice on the altar
of their own freedom. In many ways
China's war upon opium is the most
sublime struggle which was yer
fought; it is a harder battle than ours
against the saloon. The whole flu
ture of the Chinese people is de-
pendent upon their victory in it.

Queen Victoria and Politics.

For some years after Queen Victo-
ria succeeded the Wings we're the al
lies of the sovereign; the Tories were
her antagonists. In 1910 the queen, in
a letter to Prince Albert, expressed
her party preference with the utmost
candor. THE Tories" she wrote,
a really very astonishing; as they
cannot and dare not attack US in par
lament, they do everything they can
to be personally rude to me-" THE
Wings" the letter ran, are the only
safe and loyal people and the Radicals
will also rally round their queen to
protect her from the Tories; but 1t
is a curious sight to see those who.
as Tories, used to pique themselves
upon their excessive loyalty doing ev-
erything to degrade their young sover-
eign III the eyes of the people" So
closely did the queen associate her
self with the Wings that she regarded
a dissolution as an event directly af-
fecting her credit and position.

NOT AFTER SPIRITUAL. ADVICE
This Case, Though Sickness
Might BE Desperate.

Just how naturally some differences
may be drawn was illustrated by a
story told by City Clerk Thomas c.
Mooney of Burlington. One evening
some time ago, Mr.. Mooney said, a
man drove up to the residence Of a,
preacher in a small town over in Jer-
sey and after violently ringing the
doorbell told the parson that BIZ
Bowker's Sally was awful sick with
collie or something of the kind and
wanted him to come right out.
The good dominic knew Bill Bow
ker, also his wife Sally, and, thinking
that spiritual advice was wanted, he
picked up a prayer book and accom-
panied the farmer to the wagon.
Il am sorry to hear that Sally is
SICK remarked the preacher in a
sympathetic tone as he was about to
step into the vehicle. do you think
that her condition is dangerous?"
Cant tell,' replied the farmer,
she has been layin' down in Their sta
Bile all Their afternoon"
Lying down in the stablei7 ex
claimed the parson with a look of min
gled amazement and horror. What in
the world is she doing in a place like
that?"
Why, what do you expect?" was
the surprised rejoinder of the farmer.
Where in Their t%hunderation else
would ye keep "A mule?"

parson, as light suddenly dawned upon
him. You have struck the wrong
house, what you are looking for is

Her SONG TO THE C0NvlCTS
Deserved Appreciation of Good Work
10 the Credit of Miss Geraldine
Fsrrar.

Geraldine Farrar has sung to many
distinguished audiences in Europe and
in the United States, but she never
sang to a more appreeiative audience
or to greater and better and noblet
effect than when she appeared before
the ~eonvicts of the United States pen
itentiary in Atlanta. For them she
sang the old songs-"Annie Laurie"
"Suwanee River My Old Kentucky
Home" by the time she finished the
last song says a dispatch from At
lanta, the audience, composed of near.
ly 1000 eonyiets, seemed to be In one
great sob. and tears were streaming
the warden OF the %penitentiary Is
quoted as SAYING that her singing
was worth more than a hundred SER
mons The old. familiar heart songs
awakened memories of days when
many of these men now paying the
penalty of law breaking had an hon
orable purpose III life. when they
looked forward, before temptation
came, to eareers of usefulness and
worthy achievement. There are men
in the Atlanta prison who nee were
conspicuous in the field of finance and
business. In them the old songs must
have not only revived reeollections of
better days, but served also as an In.
spiratian for better living when the
prison doors are opened and are free.
Miss Farrar did a noble and helpful
thing when she sang for the conviets.
She exempliied eXquisitely the spirit
OF pure and undefiled religion. She
has had notable triumphs ON the OPP
cratic stage. She has stirred her au-
diences with her dramatic force and
her thrilling voice. But never did
she move mems hearts so deeply, new
er did she use her art to grander and
more exalted purposes, than when she
sang to the conviets in the Atlanta
%penitentiary. She has done a good
work.

Hybrid Indian Names.

misunderstanding water-what
prettier name, in sound and in Ems
could there be? But the saddest thing
about American nomenclature is the
way in which languages have been
cross-bred, with deplorable results.
All these Indian Minnie names are
delightful when left alone, and the
white man did well in naming the
state of Minnesota after the river,
which, being interpreted, is "sky-tint-
ed water" But then he must go and
contriye Minneapolis for its chief
town-a shocking mixture of Indian
and Greek. What lovely names they
must have missed when they imported
their Jackson ideas to dispossess the

You're wrong laughed the Gus
toner. Some time ago fell into the
habit of counting the razor strokes
when I'm being shaved, Just as a
means of resting my mind. you can't
think about yonr business when you're
counting the short. quick strokes of a
razor. So I've got to be something
of an authority on the subject. Count
Ing 1t as a stroke every time the razor

DETERIORATION IN OLD FAITH
Priests of Buddha in China Unworthy
of the Great traditions of

Buddhism in modern China has
fallen into a shocking state of degra-
dalton and decay. according to the
correspondent of the London Times.
who is travelling across the Celestial
empire. He writes. At the first inn.
where hot cakes were being sold, my
men rested. There was a temple here
and | went across TO see it. The
priest politely invited me into the
guest room. He probably did not eX-
peot me to enter, but | did SO, and
found in a small room some 20 men
smoking opium or browsing after the
Idebauch. And ii was the priest who
had supplied the opium and~the opium
pipes. Could the Buddhist faith as
Iexemplified in its degraded ministers
in China sink much lower?
"On the fourth day out we reached
the Kuan Yin Tang, the hall of the
goddess of mercy, a fine temple, which
lis, however, in a filthy state. Its two
lheXagonal towers are used as a com
mon lodging house. In this degraded
temple the goddess herself and all her
female attendants are represented
with the smallest of small feet. Fres-
Goes of considerable force and ven of
beauty adorn the walls of this decay
ing building, which the expenditure of
a few hundred dollars would restore
to its pristine glory. A few cents
would make it clean, but the cents
are not spent. 1t is no ones bust
ness. Opium is smoked in the dirty
rooms"
Again; Next day we reached Hu
Yin Mao, one of the finest temples |
have seen in China. 1t lies within
an enclosure comparable with that of
the Temple of Heaven in Peking and
has splendid halls and courts and pa
vilions. Yet what a ruin! The roofs
have decayed or fallen in, the tri-
umphal archways are tottering. Ma
nure is dried in eourtyards fit for a
palace. | have seen no more striking
evidence of decay. Truly Buddhism
in China is sadly deteriorating."

REMOVED STAIN FROM NAMES
Titles Bestowed in Derlsion Made
Honorable Through Deeds of
Distinction,

When in 1866 the count of Barlaf-
mont characterized the league Of
Flemish mobiles arrayed against his
Spanish sovereign As "a band of beg
CARS the league, until then without a
name, enthusiastically adopted the
one the naughty servant Of Spain had
given them and called themselves the
League des Gneux." They made the
name a badge of honor for all time.
In a similar spirit the French and
American soldiers In Rhode Island
during the war Of the Revolution
christened themselves the "sanscu-
lottes' at a feast they gave where po-
tatoes and similar viands constituted
the menu, with the distilled juice OF
the corn, and any man considered him
self disgTaced II he appeared with a
whole pair of breeches. This name.
originating in this country. was
transferred to France, where 1t was
applied as a term of reproach by the
%aristocrats TO the revolutionists of
1889. That the reyolutionlsts did not
SO regard il Is indicated by the fact
that in the new calendar they adopt
ed, beginning with September %.
1892, they applied the term sans
culottes' to the five Tor six) supple
mentary days placed at the end of
the last month to complete the year,
each of the IL months having 80 days.
These examples from history show
how names given In dishonor a be
redeemed In honor, a reflection In
which those who think they are mis-
named may find consolation.-Army

Winter Home Of Deer.

The winter home of the American
red deer is very interesting. When
the snow begins to fly the leader of
the herd guides them to some shell
tered spot where provender is plenti-
full.
Here as the snow falls they pack
It down, tramping out a considerable
space, while about them the snow
mounts higher and higher until they
cannot get out If they would. From the
main opening, or yard" as 1t Is
called. tramped out paths lead to the
nearby trees and shrubbery which
supply them with food. In this way
they manage to pass the winter in
comparative peace and safety.-St.

G~adebusch. in the Grand Duchy of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., in celebration
of the birth of the grand ducal heir

of 101 guns. An ancient cannon was

powder RAJ short after the ninety
third shot and there was no means of
obtaining any more In the town. The
burgomaster was in despair, especial
ly as SO shots indicated that the grand
ducal baby was a girl. At this mo-
ment the municipal bandmaster came

which was eagerly accepted. He dis
patched his big drum major to the
market place, where he struck eight
powerful strokes OF his instruments
to make up the t0t shots. and thus

London,s Extensive Eons.

1t Is estimated that a genuine Lon
don fog costs the city $1,000 in loss
and interruption of business. In 1905
there were A fogs recorded. Since
that year thereshas been a steady de-
crease in the number until this year
there have been almost none and this
is directly attributed to the work
against the smoke nuisance. 1t is an
accepted fact now that the fogs over
London would be no more dense than
owe adjoining counties if it we're not

which have mixed with the fogs.
