HAWAIIAN SUGAR PLANTERS AS
ISOLATION.

Agriculture is the solid fomda
ton of the prosperity of these Isl
ands. 1t is also the foundation OF
| The prosperity of all countries
(which are ON solid basis. What
we can by care get from the soil
is what is lasting. Any manufac-
ture may die ont, but the product
of the soil never disappoints.
\ fair example from our own
history may be taken. During the
tifties these Islands depended upon
the whaling industry. Agriculture
for profit was practically at a dis
count. A few men struggled with
the agricultural problem, but the
bulk of the population centered
their thought upon the whaling in
dustry. In 1871 that came to an
abrupt close. 1t had dwindled for
years, but the loss of thirty-three
ships at one fell swoop drove over
4 thousand sailors out Of employ
ment and cost Honolulu an income
of over s2OO,OOO a year. Agricul-
ture stepped in and gave the eoun
try its present prosperity The
Whaling industry was ephemeral,
the agricultural industry is solid.
OF the agricultural industries of
the country sugar Is and must re-
main for years the chief staple.
Coffee win undoubtedly take its
place as second in rank, but it Is
very unlikely that 1t will ever dis
place sugar.
To maintain our ground against
other sugar growing countries it is
necessary that not only should we
cultivate the soil, but that we
should do it scientifically, and get
the very utmost that can be OBJ
tanned from it. Science and prac-
teal work must 90 hand in hand.
For this purpose the Hawaiian Su-
gar Planters Association establish
ed the experiment station over
which Professor Maxwell presides.
The results Of the work Will be

doubt that they viii be Of great in

MOST WONDERFUL OF I'LL HANDS.
Interesting Things Paderewskis Fingers

to be prevented from enjoying. Even
before the low safety came into vogue
To prevent the nails from making the
slightest sound on the keys they are
trimmed down with the greatest care.
Paderewski's hands are Comparatively
small, the size Of his gloves being only
seven and half. The spread of the
hand is ten keys. The right hand is
smaller than the left This is known
by the spread of the hand in the Jump.
The bass hand covers two and half
octaves in the jump, while the treble
| can cover only two.
Paderewski keeps his fingers flexible
| by the five-fnger exercises. He com
monty practices from five to six hours
daily. Though the hours vary the
principal part Of the practice work is
done before luncheon He is not
heavy eater. After cup of coffee he
sits down to the plano from 10 till 2 on
days when no concert breaks up the
afternoon. After luncheon at 2 he
| spends the afternoon walking, of which
he is very fond. On returning from
the walk he practices till or o'clock
and then dimes. From 1890 till 1890,
and often 1:30, he plays billiards in the
| hotel billiard room. His favorite
game with the cue is pool, and Of that
he prefers the pyramid kind. The ex-
quisite delicacy of his touch is shown
IN the lightness Of his cue stroke,
which would almost make Wizard
Schafer enyious. In play Paderewski
| does not go in much for long hard
drives, he prefers the fine shots where
| the balls are cut into the pockets.
If his eye were as true as his stroke
he would be champion, is always
the verdict of the onlookers.
HIS $4,000 FELON.

1893. that a felon which had been
| troubling the pianist for some days
reached it's climax of pain. 1t was on
! the third finger Of the right hand. 1t
| was operated on by DR.. LANCE, the
specialist. That day he was billed to
| appear in concert in the small hall of
the Madison Square garden. New York
city. He was advised not to play, as
he was in slight fever resulting
from the lancing. But PadersWsN in
sisted that he could not disappoint his
audience. "Bandage 1t up inconspic-
uously," he said. "and I'll play without
it," and. recalling the days Of Ole
Bull, who played on one string of his
violin when the others broke, Pader-
ewski got through the concert with the
third finger, beragged and throbbing,
held in the air.. The agony was so
great that. after the performance. the
pianist nearly tainted. 1t was with
difficulty that he reached his room.
This kept him in bed for ten days. He
was compelled to miss nine engage
ments. Each engagement averages,
according to Manager Gorlitz, $500.
Thus that felon cost Paderewski over
$4,000.
If ill-luck is test Of ones standing
with the god of fortune, the great Pole
must be a favorite of the gods, for in
his long career only one other time
has an accident befallen those precious
fingers. That was in London in $780,
1t was the same finger also. If there
is anything about him which he is in
clined to regard as hoodoo it is that
finger. He was practicing one of
Chopin's most difficult crescendos
when he caught the finger between the
keys. 1t was right then and there
that he learned the danger of long
nails. The nail of the finger was
split its entire length, and it Vas some
days before he could use It's full pow
er. Before that he had been proud
Of his nails and kept them looking
quite pretty. But from that time on
he has sacrificed them for business.
1t is one Of the flctions of the matinee
girl that Paderewski uses a special
kind Of soap, combining all the per-
FUMES OF Arabyo and the healing vir-
tues of holy fountain. Many are the
efforts maidens have put forth to as
certain the brand, but the fact is the
pianist uses only the plainest kind.
Any ordinary good toilet soap suits
him. He hassmever had his hands
manicured. and probably never will.

l live so much in sound that like the
silent Wheel" he often said philosoph-
1cally. Manager Gorlitz Is a devotee
OF the wheel and has cycled over the
best roads Of Europe. More than once
when the manager has sprung into the
saddle for spin down the road or av-
enue PadereWski has sent him off with
the exclamation: ""Ah, Hugo, you're
a lucky fellowr But the temptation
will never become SO strong as to make
him forget the experience he had one
summer day several Years ago when he
essayed the wheel. After he had been
held on awhile he was asked by his
teacher how he felt "All right" he
said, but o. my poor hands," The
lament was timely. The right hand
had blister large as a dime and the
other was oramped as if paralyzed. 1t
was days before the old suppleness
returned. When 1t came back Pad
erewski bade goodbye forever to the
hope of becoming a bicycle rider 'If
he could only learn to ride" said his
teacher, without going through the
period when the novice clings to the
handle like grim death he could safely
enjoy the sport, for every old rider
knows he scarcely touches the handle
in keeping his balance"
The only exercise the pianist takes
in the way Of athletics or gymnastics
is with dumb bells of between one and
two pounds in weight. He gets the
value out Of these by quick move
ments. Paderewskfs hands are not
what one would naturally think them
to be. The fingers are not long and
slender as the matinee girl has pictured
them. On the contrary, they are short
and the ends are square They have
muscular and nervous power and so
wei! does he keep them in condition
that after his longest sittings they
still have sonata or two left in
Them" as he loosely said one day
after playing from to $50 D. M, al
most constantly, doubling the pro-
gramme with encores to satisfy the
unanimously enthusiastic audience.
Immediately after long siege at the
piano he uses an apparatus of sliding
wheels especially made for him by
which he exercises the whole body and
restores the normal condition of the
joints. Paderewski's nails would give
a manicure the horrors, they are kept
so short, cut down to the quick till
they look as if he bit them.
