WHITE LABOR ARGUMENT.

In the discussion of white labor
for Hawaii the conditions in
Queensland have often been re
ferred to. That our planters may
not run away with the idea that
white labor in sugar cane fields is
snare and delusion, we quote the
following from an article on ''The
Industrial Expansion in Queens
land" published by the Westmin-
ster Review: :
by far the most important
branch of the agricultural industry
in Queensland is sugar growing.
Since Miss Shaw, the Special Com
mission of the Times inquired into
the sugar industry here, the condi-
tons have very much altered. Her
opinion that North Queensland
would in the future have a white
autocratic planter population, and
a black servile race to do the tropi-
cal field work, is not supported by
recent developments. n large
number of the big plantations are
broken up into small farms of
about eighty acres each, and sold
at easy terms to the white farmers.
"Where few years ago there was
a large plantation worked by South
Sea Islanders, there are now
twenty or thirty comfortable
homesteads. And the contention
that white European labor could
not stand the field work is blown
into thin air by the practical ex-
perience of thousands of white
workers all along the Coast.
"The black labor question is set

time until the sugar industry can
entirely do away with Kanaka lab

MIR. THURsIONs ARGUMENT.

Treaty with the United States
should not be abrogated Is one of
the most complete financial re
views of American trade with this
country that has ever been publish
ed. The most interesting feature
is the portion devoted to the argu-
ment, that, while the figures usual
ly quoted give a large balance of
trade for Hawaii, as a matter of
fact the United States reaps the
larger benefit.
Mr.. Thurston takes the totals
for exports from the United States,
and Hawaii exports for the period
beginning June 80, 1876, and end
ing June 30, 1896. The apparent
balance Of trade against the United
States is S1O4,277,O35. He then
shows that these figures do not. eX-
press the true balance, since ''by
reason of the treaty, the value of
Hawaiian sugar is the worlds price
of sugar, plus the duty levied by
the United States. Raw sugar
from a country subject to the tariff
is invoiced at the point of shipment
at price which does not include
the United States duty" Hence
Mr.. Thurston argues that in max
ing comparisons to secure the true
balance of trade, the amount of
duties RENTED by the United
States should be subtracted from
the custom house figures of
exports from Hawaii to the
United States. Making this de-
duction the apparent balance of
trade in favor of Hawaii is reduced
to $4S,377,794
Then comes the question into
whose pockets this $4S,377,794
has gone. IF it has becomey the
property of Hawaii and Hawaiians
the contention of the opponents of
the Treaty is good. If is had be-
come the property of the United
States and United States citizens
the contention falls to the ground"
To prove that the money has en-
riched American citizens a table
is given showing that Hawaii has
paid to American shipping for
freights $1,000, JOY; to Ameri-
can Commission Merchants hand
ling island products $4,464, 233;
to American shipbuilders construc-
ting vessels for Hawaiian foreign
and inter-isIand trade, profits
amounting to $466,917; to Ameri-
can insurance companies for pre-
miums collected 1884,, 1876; to
American holders of sugar securi-
ties profits amounting to $50, S61,-
$50; to American mercantile
firms a ten per cent. profit on
goods sold in Hawaii $6,517 Az,
making the total profits derived
bv the United States and its citi-
Zens, bv reason of the treaty,
which do not appear by the Gus
toms house records" $52,251,396.
Comparing these figures with the
apparent balance of trade against
the United States we find an ac-
tual balance in favor of the United
States amounting to $3,S13,194.
In addition to this Americans have
acquired property, in Hawaii and
in ships engaged in Hawaiian
carrying trade, valued at $43,731,-
544.
While Mr. Thurston may be
savagely attacked on his method
of proving the balance of trade in
favor of the United States, his
most bitter opponent cannot fail
to appreciate the immense bust
ness, strickly American, that the
Reciprocity Treaty has fostered.
The abrogation of the Treaty viii

at American interests as Hawaiian.

the OXfOrds and low shoes that they
have worn so long are all ut once dis
Carded. The dressiest and the rough
est footwear are all to be of the high
and huttOned variety. The boots
must not be too high, but must stop
just where the ankle begins to round
out from its tiniest dimensions. The
buttons must set high on the inStcp
and we'll around the top. The vamp
must be only just long enough to
reach the beginning of the rise of the
instep. \ very high instep means a
very short padded, of course. and there
are shoes padded to simulate an in
step that really does not begin till an
inch further along. Daintily white

Physical exercise and development

the human race to weed out, by this
method dozens of diseases, and to
weed out puny and sick men and wom-

Our public schools should pay at
tention to physical development and
culture and should be furnished with
gymnastic apparatus for the purpose.
Peter Canaro, an Italian, was deli
cate from his BIRTH, and as he was
rich and fond of dissipation, at 80
years of age, he had so used up and
worn out his delicate body by dissi-
patton and disregard of the laws of
hygiene, that his doctor assured him
he could only live a month longer.
As he lived beyond the time allotted
by his doctor, Canaro mentally resolv-
ed to make n radical change in his
mode and method of living and to
commence at once to carry out his
purpose.
He dieted himself-he quit eating
the moment his appetite was salts
tied-he fOrswore dissipation in all its
fOrms-he rode in the open air in good
weather, and daily went through a
round of gymnaStic exercises.
The result was, that he became one
of the strongest men of his day, and
lived to the age of 10S years. He
wrote memoir of his mode and meth
cd of exercising daily and eating and
sleeping, etc, which effeminate and
Sickly men should study.
No doubt, 100 years is the normal
age of man where his life is not shOr-
tened by an accident of some kind
causing serious or fatal bodily injury,
Physical development and culture
from childhood to adult age would
lengthen mans life to so or 100 years.

Women are no longer compelled to
depend upon their bodice finish to
save them from monOtony for now it
is rmissible-indeed, is quite the
thing, to trim the skirt. As a first re-
suit of this change skirts bore only
little trimming, or if ornamented in
an elaborate way, theirt trimming
was in a design that very closely
matched that of the bodice. But now
the skirt may be highly wrought, and
while it surely should be harmonious
with the bodice, it's trimming scheme

This picture makes this point clear.
Here the almond green cloth skirt
was trimmed with darker green vel

sidesto givea panel effect to the cloth,
and above the velvet was a trimming
of fine sOutache. Velvet and sOutache
were employed on the bodice, too, but

wound stock, the stock being a long
soft scarf of material to match the
shirt. This stock starts pulled to full
width in front, it is drawn, pulled to
full width to the back where the ends

to the front. Here one end slips I'M

tinues again about the neck, being wi
dened at the back. When this end
gets around to the front again ii may
tie with the end that was left or the
ends may again cross each other and
return to the front. A little string
tie is made. in what children call a

to be just right, crumple slightly to
prove it was done by hand. They eX-
tend horizontally and each one about
