There are about 1000 persons perma-
nently resident at the leper settlement
on the Island of MoloKal and there is
an average of about five live and lively
dogs to each person.
And those utatemenls are explanatory
of a number of things it would be
supposed in the first place that there
waa some mysterious affinity between
dogs and leprosy but this is not the
fact. The native however has a great
fondness for dogsand dog and be-
cause of that fondness the number of
canine pets at the settlement has in-
creased to such an extent that they
have not only become a great nuisance
to thoue persons on Molokai who are
able to restrain their affection for doga
within reasonable limits but have like
wise become a menace to the lepera
themselves In that their doss are lit-
erally eating them out of house and
home says the Honolulu Commercial
Advertiser.
There Is in fact a constantly lncrea-
Ing Insufficiency actually felt In the
paial ration issued while the doga
grow more numerous at regularly re-
curring intervals and more voracious
day by day. The average native will
BO hungry hlmsell to feed his dog.
More he- will even let his friend go
hungry to feed his dog. This is what
might be called an animal weakness
and works no particular harm whers
the native is healthy enough to follow
his bent and eat the dog. In time thus
cementing his attachment to bis pet
permanently but the people at the set-
tlement are not Inclined to do that at
least not enough Inclined to do so to
keep down the suf plus dogs and so the
board of health has been compelled to
take a rmnd Is he matter. And this
has become a condition revering ac
tion the more Imperatively because the
doKS. not content with eating up the
paial of their owners have lately taken
to running in the hills and ptillinRdown
the calves of the herde there aud eating
them also thus cutting Into the meat
ration as well as the ration of paial.
It was In view of this condition that
petition was sent by the lepers to the
board of health praying to have the
number of dogs In the settlement lim-
ited which petition resulted In the pas
sage by the board of a new regulation
limiting the canine 'sei ions of each
leper to one dog. The board was not
however inclined to be exigent In the
matter. It pave the doR owners until
the first of July to rid of the surplus.
That should be ample time to prepare
and enjoy a lot of luaus. And 5000 dogs
would contribute most successfully to
a number of occasions of that kind
whether as conscious or unconscious
participants In the festivities.
"For" as a member of the board of
healt h said when asked about the mat-
ter yesterday "the dogs have been eat-
ing them out of house and home. Now
let them eat the dogs and that will pre-
serve the balance."

Allijrator pears have not prow n any
cheaper since I'orto Uico befime a jart
of the United States and New Yorkers
unnot see that their favorite summer
mlad i any more plentiful than it wa
five or Kin years ago when ttie fruit
began to be eaten in thin ciiy. There
lias been no c harge inlhe prices says
the Xe York Sun.
The fruit companies do not import
the alliLTittor pears curiously enough
nd the supply here is rarely equal to
the demand. Those that come to this
market are brought up by the stew-
ards and oilier employes of the steam
ers thnt ply between this country and
ifto Jlico.
Ti e pears are diilictiit to keep'unlest
they nre plucked when creen and
lirout'lit here In ripen. Then thev hnv
not nearly so much finvnr as hen they
re brought here just as tley have
o sr 1 1 n to ri en.
In tl is ini ter case there is little cer-
tainty that they will hist for more than
a !- tiours after they arrive here. It
is their extreme i risj.nliility that
prevents the ftuh importiiif; compan-
ies from dealing in them.
In I'orto l;ieo the pea rs are so a bund-
sTst us to he practically wonlilos.
They are not appreciated by the na-
tives as they are here.
Most New Yorkers still eat . them
with French dressing after they have
oeen peeled and cut into slices. Some
persons however declare that the real
flavor of the allijrntor pear is to be
appreciated only when it i- eaten whh
a little salt. They simply cut the pears
into two pieces. salt the inside and
eat them with a spoon.
Other new a;s of eatinp the pears
are to peel them ard after m:xU-

THE fHOOL QUESTION
lne ut rist tau churches in conven
tion assembled on yesterday passed
the following resolution:
'Resolved that Inasmuch as io the
Indian Territory we have ao hundred
thousand cbtldi-j entirely without
educational advantages. We urye
upon the comress of the Doited
State that they glye the matter their
attention at once; and If io dissolu-
tion of the tribal governments and
the establishment of some form of
civil government complications
-liould arise that will make it impos-
sible for them to secure this by their
own efforts an appropriation be
made that will be sufficient to make
such schools as are needed possible
at once.'
Mr. Black who Is missionary secre
tary In the Territory Is In correspon
dence with over oue hundred senat
ors aud congressmen who have Indi-
cated their willingness to support
auy measure that will provide for the
needs herein mentioned.

if Leo prided himself on one thing
more than another it was his health.
As a rule he permitted his doctors tc
prescribe only one kind of medicine;
a good laugh says the New YorK
World. Insiead of bothering him with
questions about his liver they had tc
tell stones. To LapponI he often said:
"Iin't get excited doctor we have a
better physician than you Divint
Providence."
On one occasion LapponI had for-
bidden the holy father to tpeak lotijei
