Securing the Largest Yield.

Before estimating upon the pros
pective yield OF location some con-
sideration must be given that which
the crops will take from. the soil and
the amount OF fertilizihg material nee
cssary for securing the results desired.
There are sections in which two, and
even three crops may be grown in one
year upon the same soil, nor is il Il
difficult matter to grow two crops in
nearly all portions OF the United States,
provided the soil is rendered capable
Of withstanding the double taxation up
on. it. We often hear OF the exhaustion
OF the soil. Such term should be-
come obsolete. True. scientific agri-
culture does not admit Of soil eX-
haustion. Progress is the order of
the day, and he who undertakes
farming without determining TO have
each succeeding year witness his soil
increase in fertility, no matter what
kind OF crops are grown, will have
something to learn in regard to his
calling. In the use OF a piece OF land
we have the advantage of the material
upon which to operate. Ii we take
from it we must add to it. II is only
the agent for our use. and can only be
expected to produce by changing the
complexion and character OF the sub
stances given it for the purposes de-
sired. Hence, we may grow an early
crop of some quickly maturing plants,
to be followed by those that may be
planted later in the season. And by
good cultivation, and the systematic
use OF fertilizing food, there is no limit
known as yet regarding the produc-
tive capacity OF the soil.-Practical

DIAMONDS IN HIS CANE.

How a shrewd Smuggler Tried to
Elude the Customs Officers.
Among the novel patterns in walk
ing sticks brought over from the
Paris Exposition there are some, and
by no means the most bulky ones,
which have proved very profitable to
their owners. Several Of them are
to be seen at the present time in the
limbo where smugglers' tools find
Government safe-keeping.
GAS a matter of fact" said GUS
toms detective yesterday, 81 don't
believe one-half of the diamonds
brought to the United States pay
any duty to the Government. Look
at this cane, a plain, straightforward
piece of native bamboo it appears to
be, doesn't it? It doesn't weigh over
eight ounces, and the knotty head
where the bamboo's roots grew, with
it's little silver plate for the owners
name, looks the very pink of respect
able propriety. That came over the
ships side day or two ago care
lessly held in its owners hand. A
cablegram had been sent from
Berlin to the Secretary of the Treas
ury giving his name and address
and the name of the ship on which
he sailed and the kind of article he
was likely to smuggle. That des-
cription was sent to the Collector
here, from Washington, and was
given to me, 1 met the steamer,
and the first thing my eye rested on
was that cane. / went through my
mans baggage; it was diamonds I
had been told to look for, and found,
as I expected nothing suspicious.
"He smiled when L asked him to
go into the search-room, explaining
that I regretted to have to obey such
disagreeable orders, but that duty
was duty, etc. He took it in good
part, and stripped him to the buff
and found nothing I was begin
ming to be puzzled. I looked in his
mouth and in his ears and between
his toes, and in every conceivable
cache, but found no diamonds. He
smiled all the time. l thought per-
haps he had swallowed the gems.
and thought seriously of asking him
to take an emetic with me. But I
couldn't go quite that far legiti-
mately. He kept on smiling. At
last an inspiration seized me. I
picked mp the cane, pressed that
little silver name plate, found it
yielded and opened inward, discov-
cred that the whole Of the naturally
hollow bamboo was loaded and bag
ged my game. By this time the
smuggler ceased smiling."- Y.

The matter Of good or poor side
walks crops up now and then, par
ticularly after a drizzling rain,
when wind and sleet predominant.
The making of the sidewalk belongs
to the owner of the property, which
it adjoins, and when we'll made it
will last a lifetime, while if poorly
made its duration is a very few
years. Experience has shown that
the best material for this purpose is
artificial stone, such as is seen before
some of our buildings. Next to this
is probably the imported Chinese
granite blocks; but these do not
make so smooth and clean walk as
the artificial stone. When the
walk is constructed with an easy
grade or slope to the curb, to drain
it readily, our black volcanic sand.
when packed hard makes tolerably
good walk along residences, and it is
easily kept in repair. The worst
nuisance is the plank walk, when a
splinter or loose board is hourly
causing accidents. Yet these nui,
sances seem to be tolerated here with
few complaints.

Worthy of Explanation.

Worthy of Explanation.
Mr.. EDITOR: Your paper OF
Thursday contained a letter from
Mr.. Manley Hopkins, Hawaiian Con-
sul-General at London, in which he
refers to two American papers,
which had spoken severely against
the Hawaiian Government for its
treatment of the lepers on Molokai.
He refers to these as 'the New York
Tribune and Christian Union Gamer
lean Christian)." Now I wish to ask
what Mr.. Hopkins means by the
words american Christian" as used
there by him? Is it to be understood
as a sheer to American Christianity,
compared with other Christianity as
practiced towards the lepers? Ii SO,
it can only be taken as an insult to
Americans here and in America.
Why the Consul General of this
Government should take pains to
make any such sneering allusion to
American Christianity in connection
with the leper asylum is more than
I can understand. The matter
seems to call for an explanation by
the honorable gentleman. Yours,
AN AMERICAN.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1889-11-11

A COMMUNICATION, in another col
umn, refers to an expression in Mr.
Hopkins lett5r to the London Times,
which was copied into this paper OF
Thursdays date, in which that gen
tleman is charged with uttering g
sheer against American Christ
ianity." Since securing the com.
munication, we have read over again
the letter referred to, and the ex-
preston, as printed, seems quite
ambiguous, as to its real meaning
Still we are inclined to believe that
he did not intend to say anything
offensive. It is possible there may
be in London or England a paper
known as the "Christian Union"
and to designate the one he wished
to refer to, he might have used the
expression american Christian" to
show that he did not refer to the
English Christian Union. This, of
course, is merely surmise, and we
give him the benefit of the doubt,
raised in our mind, and leave the ex-
PLANTATION to him.
If however, Mr.. Hopkins used the
expression in the sense implied by
our correspondent, it may be well to
add that American Protestants here
have done a great deal for the Molo-
kai lepers.
There is now and has been for
years a Protestant church there, the
pastor of which reports over two
hundred members. And the Christ
ian lepers these are as we'll cared for
in their religious needs as anywhere
else on these islands. There has
been great deal written about
Father Damien's work and church
among the lepers, which is all very
we'll; but the faithful native pro-
testant pastors who have labored
there many years, have never had
their weary labors heralded abroad.
Their reward will be in the ''better
land"
