population increased 15,229. The Chi neses showed a considerable decrease during the same period. The Chinese formerly numerous in Hawaii, have been unable to compete with the brown men from Ntppen, and are grad ualyy deserting the island. The na- lives. too. are gradually giving way before the Japanese, who outclass them both as laborers and leaders.
 While English is the official Ian guage, and is used in the schools, Japanese Is the language most used often heard in Honolulu and through out the islands.
 One of the most noteworthy things about Hawaii is the spirit of patriot ism that is manifested by all the peo- pie, yellow, brown and white. The Jap anese may at heart remain true to the Emperor, but outward1y, at least, they fairly bubble over with devotion to Uncle Sam. This is especially true of the younger generation, who ino- bibe American patriotism from Ameri- can teachers in American schools.
 The domestic arrangements of inc Japanese in Hawaii are not above criticism, from the viewpoint of con ventional morality. The Japanese males outnumber the females several times over. with the result that sort of poIyandry prevails to a considera- ble extent, and each woman keeps a harem of men. Only the wealthy Jap anese, or those especially favored by the god of love, can afford or procure a wife all his own-

This phase of a very vital question will be discussed at the GS1 TTva77 peg today by the Canadian Forestry Association. It is not often that the sentirnenta1ist and the practical man may work shoulder to shoulder in a common cause. but the TDovements for the preservation of forests and the protection of the 'fbfrdfes" afford ar" suments for both classes.
 The first public man to be 4mpeach- ed by the United States Congress was William B1ount, senator from Tennes- see. The impeachment was formally filed against him 116 years ago today, July 2, 1797, when he was charged with conspiracy with the British to raise the Cherokee Indians against Spain in Louisiana, and to disaffect the Indians against the United States. He was placed on trial the following year, and was acquitted by vote of fourteen to eleven. The first inn peachmeut by the English House of Commons was in 1886, against the lord chancellor, Michael de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk. Perhaps the most celebrated impeachment trials in hiE- tory were those of Warren Hastings, in England, and President Andrew Johnson, in America both of whom were acquitted. the latter by single vote. Richard Brinsley Sheridan. who died ninety-seven years ago today, made a speech at the trial of Hastings which is considered one of the most splendid examples of e1oQuence upon record.

SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

King George V. and Queen Mary celebrated their china wedding on Sunday. the ceremony that united the royal pair having been performed in the royal chapel at St. James on July 6, 1893. The bridegroom was then known as the Duke of York, as Queen Victoria still sat on Brita1n's throne, and Edward, the Dukes father, held the title of Prince Of Wales. The honeymoon was spent at York cottage, Sandringham, which became the prin- cipaI home of the Duke and Duchess. It was there, too. that most of their six children were born.
 It is we'll known that the Princess of Wales, now Dowager Queen Alexan- dra, opposed the match for some time. The alliance was favored by the Prince of Wales and was popular with the people, and those considerations, even more than the attachment that had sprung up between the couple, induced the Princess to give her consent.
 The romance of Britains King and Queen had it's beginning in sadness and sorrow. Princess Victoria Mary of Teck was betrothed to the hear to the throne. the Duke of Clarence, the elder son of the Prince Of Wales in December, 1891. Many of the arrange ments for the wedding had been made and the date was set for February, 1892, when the Duke became i'll and died suddenly on Jan. 2zth. 'Prin- cess May as she was popularly known. received proof of the affec- tion iii which she was held by the English people in the months follow ing the death of her betrothed. Af- ter the period of mourning had pass ed, Prince George courted the Prdn- cess in his quiet, Characteristic way. and soon won her heart. It has been said that his wooing had reached the point of a betrot1la1 before the Prince and Princess of Wales were informed of the attachment. However that may be, the engagement was formally an- nounced on May 16, 1893, and the mar riage took place on the sixth of the following July.

Just half a century ago Sunday, on July 6. 1863, the famous lottery of death" in which seventy-two Union officers drew lots for their own hang ing, was held in Libby Prison, at Richmond. On the morning of that day the seventy-two Federal captains confined in the Confederate prison were ordered to form in procession and march into the office. They thought they were to be exchanged but they were soon disillusioned. The com mandant informed them, after clear ing his throat a few times, that he had a painful duty to perform. He stated that he had received orders from Gen. W1nder, Provost General of the Confederacy, to hang two tery, in retaliation for the execution of two Confederate officers who had been put to death by Gen. Burnside The latter, then in charge of the Fed era1 forces in Kentucky, had captur- ed two southern captains, who were charged with being spies. The pris- oners denied the charge, but, despite their protestations, ropes were placed about their necks and they were hang ed. The Confederates ewore revenge, and the Libby death lottery was the method chosen. A roll Of the seventy-two was read and each mans name was written on a. slip of pa per. The names drawn were those of Capt. Henry W. Sawyer, of the First New Jersey Cavalry, and Capt. John D. Finn, of the Fifth Indiana Infantry. The execution was not carried out. however. as the Union authorities announced that if Sawyer and Elinn were hanged, the same fate would be meted out to Capt. Winder, son of Gen. Winder. and Gen. Fitz- hugh Lee. who were then Confederate prisoners.

The almighty dolla,r.'' now the monetary unit of the United States, Canada, British Honduras, Columbia, Newfoundland, and San Domingo, was established as the American standard of value by the United States Con- gross 128 years ago, July 6, 1785. The plan adopted by Congress was that of Thomas Jefferson, who proposed to strike four coins upon the basis of the Spanish mil1ed dollar, as follows: A gold piece of the value of ten dollars, a silver dollar, tenth of a dollar in silver, and a hundredth of dollar in copper. For several years the States continued to operate their own xaints, and it was not until 1795 that the United States mint went into full operation The silver dollar was first coined experimenta11y in 1794. The first mint was established in Phila- delpfia, and it remained the only one until 1895. The word dollar is of German origin, and dates from 1517, when the courts Of Schlick, who held the right of mintage, struck a series of silver coins worth about 113 cents of our money. These coins were mint ed at Joachimstha1, Bohemia, and came to be known as Joachimsthaler, which was soon shortened to thaler. In Norway, Sweden and Denmark the coin was called the daler, and in Spain the dalera. It was-the Spanish Tn1lled or pillar dalera or dollar that was taken as the basis of the coin we are now all engaged in chasing.

 It was on July z, 1898, fifteen years ago today, that the Congress of the United States passed a, resolution pro viding for the formal occupation of the pearls of the Pacific It was pre- dicted at the time that a great influx of Americans would follow, and that Hawaii would soon become white mans country. Up to date these pro dictions have not been realized. The Stars and Stripes wave over a coun- try dominated by Japanese and Chi nese.

Is. Used as a Substitute for a
Very Rare and Yalua-
bic Wood.

/ WASHINGTON. D. O.. Feb. 19.-The
United; States says. the Department
Of Agriculture, is probably the largest
Econsumer Of Clrcassian walnut, one
of the worlds best known and most
expensive cabinet woods.
The high cost Of circassian walnut
IFS due to the scarcity Of the beauti-
fully figured variety demanded for
furniture and interior finish, for the
tree itself is more widely distributed
than almost any other of commercial
Importance The demand for the best
wood, however. has always outrun
the supply. Even in the eighteenth
century, when wars in Europe were
frequent. SO much cfrcassian walnut
was used for gunstocks that the sup
ply was seriously depleted. Early in
the nineteenth. century the wood of
10000 trees was used for this purpose
alone. Single trees, containing choice
birdseye figures have sold for more
than $4,000.
fhe tree is native to the eastern
slopes of the Caucasus and ranges
eastward to the foothills of the Him
alaya Mountains, from which it ex-
tends southwark to northern India
and the mountains Of upper Burma.
It has been widely planted in Europe
and the United States, in this coun-
try under the name of English wal
nut. The wood grown Eere, however,
has not the qualities demanded by
the cabinet and furniture maker.
Much of the Circassian walnut now
used comes from the Black Sea and
from other parts of Asia.
According to circular just issued
by the forset service the demand for
walnut has resulted in the
substitution of other woods. Our own
red gum is often sold as Cireassian |
walnut, and butternut is also similar
in general appearance to the less
highly figured grades. Many good
African, Asian and South American
woods resemble clrcassian, though
none possesses the magnificent figure,
DELICATE tones, and velvety texture OF
the latter. The circular discusses the
and uses Of Circassian walnut,
and those who wish to know how pos
sible substitutes may be distinguished
can learn from this circular the dis
tinctive marks which the govern
ments experts have discovered.
