The percentage of those attending
school is very high. The total number

REAL ESTATE.
The total owners of real estate were
reported in 1896 as 6,327, while in 1S0U
the total was 4,695. This is an in
crease of 1,632 in the six years. This
increase is undoubtedly due to the ac-

main part of it is divided among the

THE WORKERS.

The population of the Islands is an
industrious one. Taking the working
population to be all those over fifteen
years of age there are of all national
tiles 56,79S males, of whom 1904 re-
ported themselves as of no occupation,
or who failed to state what their oc,
cupation was. This is only SOC per
cent of the total possible workers. But
here the national tendencies show up,
for the Hawaiians report 1921 per cent
without occupation, the Part Hawaii
ans 21.75 per cent, while the most in
dustrious are evidently the Portu
guese, who have only 81, or 1.45 per
cent reported as without occupations.
In this connection it should be notlc
ed that the non-workers among the
Hawaiians are to be found rather
among the young men than among
the old. Many Hawaiians remain at
school after the school age, fifteen, is
reached. and many, even though they
have left school do not start in any
regular occupation. During the last
six years the number of female wage

READING AND WRITING.

The literacy of the Islands. based
upon a standard of ability to read and
write, stands very high, and will bear
comparison with almost any country
in the world. Taking all nationalities
there are 03.i9j over six years of age,
and of these $3.50 per cent are able to
read and write But this general
statement should be analysed, as ia

show clearly where literacy is and
where illiteracy:

y
same period has been 4,496, or 80 per
cent, which is a thoroughly healthy
showing.
Analysing the increase of young
children according to nationality there
is gain among Hawaiians of per
cent, the figures being 4,524 against
4,275, gain of 249. Among Part-Ha-
waiians the increase has been from
1,56S in 1890, to $3.50 in 1896, a gain OF
1922, or IS per cent. Those children
born, both of whose parents are foi :
eigners, have increased from 5,OlS to
$3.50, gain of 3,321, or GO per cent.
These figures are very significant both
i'm their gross totals and in their pei
centages. 1t is clear that so small
percentage of increase of children
between the ages of one and six years
among the Hawaiians is not going to
counterbalance the loss during the
late years of life, so that we cannot
look for anything but "A deficit among
Hawaiians during the next six years.
Allowing that the decrease is s per
cent instead of 90 per cent, as it has
been during the past six years, in 1902
there will be 2S,53S pure blooded Ha-
waiians in the group. On the other

Ware.

Do you know that
a great deal of ware is sold in this
market under the general term indi-
Gated above but in which there must
be wide divergence of quality? If
cost counts for anything take buckets,
for instance. A genuine Agate four
quart Scanned Bucket costs you fifty
cents at our store. The same size in
Peerless Ware would realize the same
percentage of profit if sold for thirty
cents. The moral is obvious.

POPULATION IN GENERAL.

The Hawaiian population, of pure
birth, is still decreasing, though the
rate of decrease was less for the pas,
six years than it was for the similar
period before that. From 1884 to 1890
the decrease was 1919 per cent, while
from 1890 to 1896, it was 90 per cent.
The Part-Hawaiian population
shows a large increase on the other
hand. having advanced from 6,1s6, as
reported in 1890, to S,4S5 in 1896, gain
of 2.299. or 81 per cent.
The Hawaiian born population,
where both parents are foreigners also
shows a wonderful advance, viz: 7,405
as against 1878, an increase of 6,23s,
or S3.4 per cent. OF this number 6,959
are Portuguese. thus out of total
pure Portuguese population of 1910.
according to the report, 45.S per cent
were born on the islands. OF the ia
panese population, only s.5 per cent,
and of the Chinese 1913 per cent were
born here. These latter may be re-
garded as the transient population, a
people who come and go but do not
make their homes on the Islands,
whereas the Americans and Europe
ans to make their homes upon the
Islands, bring up their children upon
the soil as it were, and form perma-
nent population, a population which,
together with the Part-Hawaiians will
eventually form the entire backbone
of the Island people.
The foreign born population has in
creased from 41,S73 to 55,7S3, an adj
vance of 1870, or 1872 per cent. 1t

ton that the great disproportion of

A BOYS OWN RAILROAD.
Built the Locomotive, Laid the Track,
and Operates 1t Himself.

Robert NJ. Tyler, the son of William
NJ. Tyler, has built n perfectly equip.
ped railroad, with rolling stock and To-
comotive, on the farm of his father at
Bucks Hill, suburb of Waterbury,
Conn.
He built the locomotive himself. He
surveyed the line, decided upon the
grades and curves and, aided by ordi-
nary labor, made the roadbed. laid the
rails. and now runs the engine. 1t Is n
real railroad and not toy--a railroad
over which the engine, built by the
boy, runs daily, hauls stones, lumber
and other materials and farm products,
and has an existence with definite
and profitable purpose. Hunters found
afield with their dogs take Tyler's road
to get lift toward the hunting grounds.
and lots of people have been delighted
with an excursion trip over the line.
1t was manifest that profit rs well rs
fun awaited the success of n miniature
railroad running over Bucks Hill. Ty-
Ter who went TO work at 1t in very
crude, small-boyish way at first soon
compelled his elders to have faith in
him as a civil and mechanical engineer
and road constructor. Then the neces-
sary cash capital was forthcoming as
fast as 1t became necessary for Tyler
to invest In material.
The boy engine-builder very sensibly
refrained from attempting to follow
the lines of drive-wheel locomotive.
Tyler was Indifferent to appearances,
but bent on practical results. The boys
sensible aim was to save and make
money, and not to expend It extrava-
gantly. The engine and boiler and the
car on which these are mounted cost
not less than $500. The further equip
, ment of Bucks Hill line consists Of two
cars, each four-wheeled and each hav-
ing capacity of 1900 pounds.
In running the line the boy surveyor
humored the topography of the region
with which he had to deal, and did not
contract for any steep cuts or for any
rock work. The stony, gravelly sur
face was easily converted into n solid
bed. The rails used were of steel, and
| the cross ties We're of chestnut. The
gauge is twenty-six inches. The grade
in its steepest part is $40 feet TO the
mile. The whole cost Of constructing
the railway was at the rate Of 5000 per
mile

he moved TO strike out that statement.
"Strike II out Of what ?' the speaker ask

"Out OF the journal" Mr.. Simpson replied.
II suppose II is the same In the record"
The speaker put the question ON the motion
to strike out aud 1t was declared lost. The
