THE Bureau of American Repub-
lies, Washington, D. c., has issued
a monograph on coffee in America,
which contains much valuable in
formation concerning the methods
of production and facilities for the
successful cultivation of the berry
in Mexico, the Central and South
American States, and in the
West Indies. Coffee culture in
Hawaii also comes in for a
couple of paragraphs. The PAM
phlet will be of interest to cof-
fee planters in this country. 1t
holds out encouraging prospects as
to the continuance of a good price
for several years to come. An in
teresting fact noted is that the sim
gle state of Brazil produces more
than half the worlds supply. AL
most all the coffee sold in the
United States as Java and Mocha,
is grown in Brazil, and the claim
is made for this coffee that it's quail
ity is not surpassed by that of any
other.

THE O. r. & L. co.

The report which was presented
to the special meeting of the stock
holders of the Oahu Railway and
Land Company has been pub
lished. It contains an exhaustive
review of the three years which
have elapsed since the road was
started, and the showing made, con-
sidering the hard times, is both
creditable and encouraging. An
enterprise like this must in the
nature of the case, look largely to
the future for its profits. 1t must
create the trade by which it is to
live. Population follows the rail-
road and business follows popula-
ton.
The accounts rendered in this
special report show that the rail
road just about pays its running
expenses and the interest on its
bonds. The rate of interest, as al
ways in Hawaii, is high, 80 that
it is remarkably good exhibit for
an infant industry. The hard
times have naturally reacted I'M
favorable upon the receipts of the
railway. The passenger traffic,
which yielded about ten thousand
dollars for the last quarter of 1891,
declined steadily from that time
until the month after the revolu-
ton, when it began to revive again,
reaching $2,79015 for the month
of October, 1898. The depression
caused by the Mckinley bill is
easily traced here, and also the |
slow revival of business during the
year just past.
The statement of assets and liza
oilities makes these just about |
balance, taking cost as the basis
ior the first. But the appreciation in |
value of the land and other prop
srty arising from the application of
promising large pros
,ective returns, is so great that the
estimates that they are
equal to the whole face value of
he stock issued. If this estimate
8 reliable, and it seems to be con-
it is extremely encour-
aging.
Plans have been made and con-
ract let for the extension of the
Dad to Waianae, Waialua and Ka-
,uku, a distance of fifty-four miles,
md it is believed that such an ex-
ension will cause an increase In
he earnings more than proportional
o the additional outlay. If the
'onds are placed, the work will be
commenced Immediately, and the
enefits of it will be felt in a gen.
raj revival of trade.
Altogether, we rejoice to note
hat the prospects of the Oahu
Hallway & Land Co. are very fav-
rable, and that this great enter
rise, begun in the face of so much
Encouragement, and carried to /;
ompletion in spite of so many
bstacles, has future before it
-hich will crown with success the
lbor of these many years.

Recovering Lost Anchors.

One of the queer occupations of man
kind is that of dragging for lost an
chors. 1t is carried on in bays and
rivers. and even in the open sea along
the coast. A writer in the New York
Evening Post says that several SloOpS
and SchounerS are engaged almost eX-
clusively in this pursuit. The hunters
are as familiar with the ground where
anchors are to be found rs fishermen
are with the fpvorte hauntS of the
living inhabitants of the sea. 1t is said
that the stretch of sea off the Della
ware brcakwater is most fruitful in
dropped anchors. This is owing to the
fact that so many vessels are COM
PEELED by the state of the weather or
of the tide to ride off the breakwater,
being often caught in gales while sta
toned there. The manner of fishing
for lost anchors is most simple, A
chain is let down in a loop long
enough to drag along the bottom and
the vessel goes on her way with all
hands on board alert for Il bite. and
a bite usually ends in a catch. The
recovered anchors are usually sold
again at Il price of about cents a
pound. which is a cent under the mar
kct price for new anchors. \ Big
anchor will weigh 5000 pounds. so
shat the fishermen make $40 out of it.
More. often. however til" anchors
lishrd up weigh from 1000 to 1000
pounds. and there is Il pretty profit in
the business even then.

A TURKISH GIRLS LIFE.

The measures Of Turkish girls are

SiSr in an occasional picnic or accom-
paning her elders on the visits which
occupy so much of a Turkish lady's
tine. On households or religious
fea.StS wealthy people often organize
entertainments on a very elaborate
scale. Gypsy dancers or Il troop of
clowns with some sort of pantomime
are engaged for the occasion, and the
neighborS. rich and poor. are invited
to the performance. The Turks, being
exceedingly hospitable. a friend of the
hostess is free to bring all her sisters,
and her cousins, and her auntS. with
their families on such occasions. These
are high days for the Turkish girl
for her elders. toO-thOugh an English
child of ten or twelve would think the
entertainment a very poor perform
ance indeed.
The dances are at times graceful,
and the music, when one is used to it,
is not always eXcruciating: but the
coarse almost british, humor of the
Dantomime would be decidedly dis
tasteful to a western audience. \

which they are indebted for their

parently his representations have made
but little impression, for he cabled the
state department to-day that the Ger

OF retaliation and had assured him that
the prohibition OF our cattle was based
solely on sanitary reasons that could
not be neglected; that there was
veterinary evidence to show that
recent importations OF cattle con-
tanned two weIl.deined cases of
Texas fever, and therefore the prohibi-
tion could not be removed. OF course
our state department cannot go behind
the German disclaimer of retaliation,
however it may regard the prohibition,
and must content itself with trying to

veterinarians and then settle down to
