The manner in which the centenary

poet, Adam Mickiewicz, was celebrat-

JACOB GOULD SCHURMAN.
The Life Story Of a Poor Young
Man.

Jacob Gould Schurman, president OF
Cornell university, whom President
Mckinley has made chairman of the
Philippine commission, can never be
president of the United States.
He was born In Prince Edward is
land fftyfour years ago.
Mr.. Schurman's father had removed
from New York a number of years be-
fore, cleared little land and built
himself a house. He was poor and
there were eight children to support.
The fourth child, who received the
sturdy Dutch name of Jacob, spent his
earlier years doing what he could to
help with the work and attending dis
trict school miles away in all kinds OF
weather.
At thirteen he left home to make
his way Gin the world, and from that
time on he has never received q penny
that he did not earn.
For three years young Schurman
worked in q country grocery in little
island town receiving $50 year and
his board. Then he decided that he
wanted better education and started
out to get it. By working for his
board he gave himself years school
ing.
Greek, but in that year he got the pre-
paration for college which costs an or
binary boy four years time. He won
q scholarship in Prince of Wales col
lege, Chsrlottetown.
With the few dollars which this
scholarship yielded and what he could
earn by keeping books and tending
store in the evening he paid his way
for two years. At the end of that
time he graduated from the college at
the head of his class.
Schurman went to Acadia college in
Nova Scotia to continue his education.
At the end of his course a scholarship
in the University of London was offer
ed for competition in Canada. Gradu
ates of every college in Canada tried
for it. But most of them might have
spared themselves the trouble. Schur-

Article in Interest of Blu.
reau of Agriculture.
An Exposition OF the Opportunities
Here for Small Farmer
Many Little Products.

(By Allen Herbert, in the interest OF
the Hawaiian Board of Agriculture
and Forestry
1t is of Importance TO these Islands
that the truth should be told regarding
the actual conditions here, and the op-
portunities for desirable white i'm
migration of small farmers for the pro-
ductiOn of diversified agriculture. Di-
versified agriculture and horticulture is
certainly following that we all feel a
deep interest in, and upon it the future
| of these Islands depends; but this in
terest needs organization and co-opera-
ton as we'll as our sugar interest.
We have on several occasions, since
our connection with this Bureau, called
to the attention of our people, that
there are in this country many other
avenues for the safe investment of cap
ital besides sugar, if proper encour-
agement be given. What we need is
that our wealthy citizens should take
the initiative in the organization of
those industries that will tend to ex-
tend our agricultural possibilities, to
widen inquiry into the resources of our
Islands and bring these to the notice of
home seekers.
Fig Culture-The fig tree will bear
two crops a year. Insects and blight
do not trouble it. For the fiscal year
ending June Goth, 1898, there was i'm
ported into the United states II 900, 700
pounds of figs. These figs were sold
at auction in New York. The prices
realized are between and % cents per
pound This amount could be produced
IN Hawaii under proper conditions.
Silk Industry-The wonderful pro-
duction of the silk industry in the
United States and the value of the pro-
duction of silk fabrics reached $110,
try of the United States greatly exceeds
that of France. The natural food of the
silk worm is the white mulberry, but
it will feed on the leaves of other
plants we have. as we'll as on the let
tuce This is the land for the silk
worm.
Tobacco-Hawaii has without doubt
thousands of acres of land adapted to
the cultivation of tobacco. Our warm
climate is also peculiarly we'll adapted
to the curing of the Havana seed leaf.
All we need is proper instruction in
the cultivation of the plant to matur
ity.
All textile plants, such as Agava,
Tita, Pinue1o, cotton, ETC., grow we'll,
and the manufacturing of sacking
might be made d great industry in Ha-
wall
Among the most important Of the
fibers, is the heneguen or sisal hemp.
1t is known as heaeguen in Mexico
The export from there is 9O,00O,O00
pounds annually, average value $780,
900. The United States takes four-fifths
Of that amount.
One of four most profitable but much
neglected industries is dairying and its
new methods.
These are only a few products. 9th
ers will suggest themselves, even fruits
and vegetables might we'll be intro
luced into our Islands with profit. Our
Government should encourage the
small farmers to experiment with new
hings and something should be done
1t once.
