One Of the incidents that conduced to
give the queen temporary popularity in Ire
Land was this: She and the prince, with
the Prince Of Wales and Prince Alfred,
were driving IN their roomy carriage to Mr..
bargains exhibition. The streets and win
dows were thronged. There were only
bright faces, and the air was filed with
cheers. She bowed very affably: the prince
held his hat little before his forehead,
and hardly bowed. The Prince of Wales
took OF a cap with white band and held
1t rather gracefully, as II to show that he
should have bowed were the queen not
present. Prince Alfred looked little sulky
and kept his cap On his head. The queen
did not appear to see him, but she did. She
whipped the cap OF his head with one
hand, and with the other gave him such q
slap In the face. It was done IN an instant,
and Without any change Of countenance
laundering cheers marked the Approval Of
the multitude.

of this character will develop more and
more as time runs on. II will not be long
until more people are engaged in coffee
than in any other enterprise In the islands.
The business is particularly attractive 10
men of small means, for nearly all the
gorges and little valleys are susceptible of
cultivation for coffee, whereas it requires
a large tract of land to be of any service
in the sugar business. In the islands
there are great many men in the coffee
business with only ten or twenty aci es,
and the returns from a small area are en-
couraging enough 10 justify the man of
family to undertake the venture, with a

1t is said there will be a great deal OF
coffee shipped from the islands this year,
and that these shipments will be followed
by great deal more next year. for many
trees come to maturity in 1898. 1t is in
teresting to study some of the character
istics of the new industry with reference
to the adapta Dility of the soils of the
various districts to its successful prose
cution.
None of the commercial features of the
Hawaiian Islands are more promising
than the development OF the coffee indus
try, which is barely in its infancy. With
a vast extent of rich and varied soil the
possibili of coffee culture are almost
unlimited.
While the output for the entire group
OF Hawaiian Islands is as yet so small that
few people away from Oahu and Hawaii
have ever tasted the beverage made from
native berries. it is fact that many visl-
tors al Hilo and Honolulu have gone into
ecstacies over the delicious coffee made
from berries grown in the famous Puma
and Kona districts.
