Coffee Growing in Hawaii.

We have received the report Of the Ha-
waiian labor commission on the coffee in
dustry for tho current year. Serving on
this commission Is Hon. H. W.Severance,
the talented son of Luther Severance.
founder of the Kennebec Journal. just
now coffee raising in the Hawaiian Is
lands is a growing industry and the need
of reliable labor to meet future demands
an important matter. There is ct present
an ample supply of labor but the outlook
for the future is not so promising. The
experince of Demarara where profitable
coffee Industry was necessarily abandoned
ON account Of the lack of suitable labor
is not an inviting one
The commissioners find that while the
profits accruing from the coffee industry
are greatly overestimated In many in
stances there nevertheless Is strong In
duoement for small land holders to I'M
dertake it. Coffee is staple product
and the profits are quite sure and the
orop can be carried over from one season
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1895-06-19

to another successfully where conditions
invite so doing. Under the corrupt rule
of the monarchy there was no encourage
ment Of coffee raising. But the govern
ment of the republic has had opportunity
to see that the sugar industry alone is not
what the country needs. Large amounts
Of capital are necessary in carrying on
this industry and the kind Of labor en-
ploycd may be of the cheaper sort result
ing in the introduction of Asiatic. Speak
ing OF the profits of this coffee crop the
commissioners say that sit seems safe to
predict that it will, upon the whole prove
handsomely remunerative, and to many
hundreds II not thousands Of small pro-
prietors, it may be the money crop that
will make them comfortable. Hawaii
has got great sufficiency of the Claus
Spreckles and their coolie laborers and a
disposition to run things to suit their own
particular sweet will. What Is wanted is
the small land holder with an indepen-
ucub IL Coplthl Gown AZ oOAAAN
paying enterprise on the island. Now
great portion of the food and fruit supply
Of tho islands is imported and no syste-
matte effort to raise hay and grain for
horses has been made on the islands. AL
ready there are about 200 intelligent
white men engaged in the coffee industry.
The total acreage Of this crop on the is
land is about $500 acres Land tenures
are not satisfactory and the commission
thinks that some change must be made
In this respect or the industry will drift
into the hands of the Chinese, who have
no prejudices against lease holding. I'M
migration from am ong the farmers Of the
United States is what the commission
most desires and even goes to the extent
of advocating that in some way the gov
eminent shall render financial aid to
such immigration. What Hawaii is now
deeply interested In is to make sure that
the civilization is to be occidental rather
than oriental.

Why do tens of thousands of women
write to Mrs. Pnkham at Lynn, Mass,
telling their most secret thoughts?
Because they know that their letters
go straight to the hands of a woman, are
opened, read, and answered by a woman,
who as a woman has made woman's ills
life study, and because she never fails
them, and cures cases which the doctor
cannot.

tanned in thousands of other letters in

LETTER CARRIERS IN THE ALPS.
Their Terrible Hardships In Winter and
Heroic Devotion to Duty.

Among letter carriers the world over
probably there arc few who undergo for so
small a pittancc such terrible hardships as
those who carry the mails in the high Alps
in winter. They are paid but 2S cents per
day and frequently lose their lives in the
performance of their duty. The world at
large hears of them but rarely, and then
emily from some chance traveller who has
been snowbound in hospice in those high
attitudes.
The postman at Villar d'Arene, in the
Alrcs Maritimcs, was badly frost bitten
last winter while making his rounds. A
Partisan journalist happened TO be in the
village when the mail arrived and said to
him, "You have q good excuse for not GO
ing over your route today, because you are
i'll and more than three feet of new snow
fell last night"
eyes, monsieur" the carrier replied, II
know all that very well, but-que voulcz-
vous? There is in the bag letter from
Louis Joussct, which comes from Tonquin.
You cannot understand how impaticntly
his parents are awaiting that letter from
their son. Every day they ask me, Is there
nothing from hiIS,yet?' They are anxious
about him. He itDS far away. And now o
letter has come, shall make them waltz
Oh, no. l have not the courage though

postman nor the letter will reach their des-
tination.'
On the way from Abries, on the French
side, to Bobbio, in Italy, some miles before
reaching the Col dc Ia Croix, separating the
two countries, there is house of refuge,
which was built nearly 100 years ago by
the French government. For some time
previous to last winter it was kept by q
cantonnier and his wife, but through care
lessncss or complaccnce they allowed
Italian soldiers to come there and spy
across the border. Last winter, therefore,
two gendarmes were stationed there, and
the place was furnished with telephone
to the village below. They We're supplied
with provisions every two days by post
man named Blanc, from Abries, some
miles distant Tho snow fell so deeply one
night in February that it filled the steep
pass which led to the house where the two
soldiers We're stationed. Blanc neverthe-
less, knowing that they would soon be
without provisions, set out to relieve them.
He did not return, and the next day his
body was found. Tho two gendarmes,
meanwhile, We're starving, and it was only
at the risk of their lives that some hardy
villagers rescued them two days later
