LABOR.

Last week the town was thrown
into a state of excitement over the
action of some boys who wanted
to stop the Oil Works at this
place or prevent them from en-
ploying negro laborers; in this
they succeeded, because our ne
groes are all timid people, and as
soon as they learned that trouble
might result on thier account,
they all left their work, and were
replaced 10y white men. We be-
lieve out of thirty employees eigh-
teen were negroes.
From the first day the white
boys were put to work at certain
places, at firing and the presses
where the heat is very intense the
BOYS showed weakness, and day
by day they have dropped.
Some of them have showed Won
derful courage, endurance and
pluck, and remained at their post
until overcome by the heat, had
to be removed almost unconscious.
1t is simply a matter OF physical
impossibility for white men to
stand the intense heat.
There are yet, however, a few
white men holding at the presses,
some of them may hold, but the
others are expected to drop one
by one, and their places will have
to be reiilled 10y negroes.
|. OF the eighteen negroes repla.
ced by white men, nine had to bss
taken back, because the white
men gave up their jobs OF thell
own free will.

The London Times says that Japan,
and not France or Belgium, is the land
of petite culture, a couple of acres being
considered a large tract for agricul-
tural purposes. The following, culled
from an American consular bulletin, is
of value in giving the character and
customs of the japanese agriculturalist,
an individual who may figure with
more or less prominence as small
farmer in this country:
Most of the farms are small, and on
a little plot a surprising variety Of
crops is cultivated-a few square feet
of wheat, barley, maize and millet;
plot of beans perhaps ten feet wide by
twenty feet long, similar area of po-
tatoes and peas, and patch of onions
about as big as grave beetroot, let
tuce, turnips, sweet potatoes and other
crops occupy the rest of the area. The
farmer examines his growing crops
every morning, just as an engineer in
spects his machinery, and If anything
is wrong he puts it right. If weed ap-
pears in the bean patch he pulls it up;
if a hill of potatoes or anything else
fails it is at once Teplanted. When he
cuts down a tree he always plants an
other. As soon as one crop is har-
vested the soil is worked over, MANFRED
and forthwith resown to another crop.
1t is estimated that nine-tenths of the
agricultural lands of Japan are devoted
to rice, and as this is crop requiring
much water, the paddy fields are bank
ed UP into terraces, one above the other,
and divided off into small plots twenty
five feet or thirty feet square, with
ridges of earth between them to pre-
vent the water from flowing away when
they are flooded. All farming lands are
irrigated by a system that is a thousand
years old. Some of the bitches are wall
ed up with bamboo wicker-work, and
some with tiles and stone. According
to official statistics, II 400, 900 men and
1O,94S 900 women-nearly half the tota
population of Japan-are engaged in
agriculture Silk and tea, the two CHIEF
exports of the country, are raised al
most entirely by the work of women

HAND SHAKING.

Perhaps there are none who realize
that handshaking is an art more than
men and women in public life In pub
lie places and private places they come
in contact with friends and enemies,
and the Indifferent curiosity fiends, and
to all a handshake must be extended.
Now there are handshakes and hand
shakes, varying all the way from the
iron grasp of the man who seems to
have an idea that you are disguised
with the formation of your hand and
want the whole four fingers damned
into one mass, to the cold blooded,
fiimsy fipity-fop shake of the person
who seems to have an idea that he or
she will be defiled by touching another
hand. The women are more inclined to
the latter custom than the men.
One authority, for whose veracity we
are not called upon to vouch, says
Eastern countries, where years ago it
was the custom when friends met to
extend the right hands, whereupon the
two friends would enter into a contest
to see which would kiss the others
hand first. 1t is quite easy to see how
this custom finally developed into a
grasping of hands, and the shake de-
rived from the old time kissing contest
remained. 1t would undoubtedly be a
good idea for many of the present day
to remember that they have not entered
a kissing conquest when they grasp an
extended hand, and there is no danger
of the friend getting away from them.
On the other hand, the cold, clammy
handshaker need not be in constant
fear that the old custom is about to be
revived
The man or woman who knows how
to shake hands simply gives a warm
pressure of the hand-not a vice-like
grip-which leaves the mandible that
has been extended in condition to be
used again, and the one who has been
party to the greeting in much more
comfortable frame of mind. Common
everyday handshaking does not call foI
the twisting grip that the kitchen maid
| gets on the dishrag, or the lovers
| squeeze. There is a time and place fo1
everything. Thus when meeting friends
| in the everyday walks, or officials and
their wives at functions, the average
citizen will confer favor by having &
thought for the ''shakee.''

THE NIGHT SCHOOL.

The notice of the opening of the night
school on the evening OF September Z
calls to public attention the valuable
work that has been begun by this arm
of the educational power of the country.
In many of it's features the night school
of Honolulu may be said to be in an ex-
perimental stage, but the fact is well
established that there are plenty Of
young men of all nationalities who are
only too glad TO have this opportunity
OF, supplementing their days labor with
elementary branches of the three RS.
During the first term of this school the
efforts of the teachers were confined
almost wholly to elementary branches,
special stress being laid on the English
language. Under this system the school
registered some 400 pupils, which indi-
Gates that there is quite a gap to fill,
even in the education of those who
have been unable to attend the day
schools. The results have been so salts
factory thus far that we may we'll say,
$50 far so good"
1t will never do, however, for the
Commissioners of Education or the peo-
pie to be satisfied with the present state
of affairs when there is room for i'm
provement and development. One of
the noticeable discrepancies Ofthe night
school up to the present has been the
absence of young women. 1t may be,
and we hope it is fact, that the young
women are better educated than the
men, and have no necessity for instruc-
ton in the elementary branches. This,
however, has yet to be proved among
the working classes who take advant-
age of the school. There is no reason
why the girls and young women who
work during the day should not attend
the evening classes. In one San Fran
cisco school which alone numbers 1900
pupils, there is quite a smattering of
young women, and we can see no rea-
son why the same condition should not
exist here. This is something for the
people to attend to, by advocating a
more general adoption of cO-educatiOn.
A feature more ulI6CIly IL luG AduuS
of the Commissioners of Education is
the Inauguration of a more advanced
course of study. The night schools of
other cities go a step beyond elemen-
tary study, and in many curriculums
courses of lectures on law and medi-
cine have been not only popular but in
strumental in giving more than one
young man the opportunity to advance
which otherwise his financial circum-
stances would not permit. While Homo
lulu may not be large enough to make
instruction in these branches feasible,
there is no doubt that classes above
the primary grade, and course of lee
lures touching on literature, art or his
tory, will not only be a valuable adj
junct to the night school, but also
highly appreciated by many young men
and women-possibIy older ones too
of Honolulu.
