BLACKsMrTHs' APRONS.

ne teacher OF forging at the Man
uai Training High School, James
Yuie, told a story to his pupils which
was reported as follows by the Indian
apolas NeaOs. Boys" the teacher
said, you have all seen Rembrandt
oteele's decorative work, the black
smith with the edges of his 1eathern
apron notched. There's probably moi
a blacksmith in a hundred who knows
why the apron is notched, and yet
every blacksmith fixes his apron in
this way, whether in America, Eng
land, Germany, Russia, France, Mex
leo or Spain.
When l was boy in England,
where learned my trade as black
smith, when got my first apron
fs5tt ! 81 down and with my knife began to
notch the edges. One of the older
hen, seeing me at work, knife in
hand asked me if 1 knew what I was
doingand why was doing it. re-
piled that l was doing what I had
seen he other smiths do. The he
told NE this legend:
"Orre upon a time a king Of Eng
land gave great feast, to which he
invited the masters of the various
crafts il his nation. After they were
seated a, the table the king, passing
from one to another, talked with 'em,
asking questions as to their handi-
work. At the head of the table sat
the tailor dressed in his best and
looking very, very proud in his fine
attire.
"In answer to the kings inquiry
as to his trade he said: I am the
tailor. I make the kings robes of
state and the suits for his hawking
and hunting
"'With what dost thou do these
grand things?' asked the king.
with shears and needle. said
the .ailor.
And who makes these rare tools
for thee?' asked the king.
The blacksmith, answered the
tailor.
Then the king, passing along the
table, spoke to the carpenter, to the
brick1ayer, the mason and to the other
craftsmen. Each one told of the
work he did for the king. But these,
as did the others, acknowledged that
it was the blacksmith who made the
tools with which they did their work.
"At last the king came to the black
smith, modestly seated at the very
foot of the table, not clothed in as
good apparel as the other craftsmen,
but with a smutched face and a grimy
leathern apron.
'Ho, no = cried his majesty as the
blacksmith rose in an awkward way,
for he had no acquaintance with the
manners of the court. What dost
SWORD when you go to war for the
honor of the kingdom stammered
the smith.
"'Yes, encouraged the king, see
ing his confusion, and thou makest
the sharp points to the arrows of nay
spears and battleaxes. More than
that-without thee there would be no
tools for these craftsmen
"The king then took the black
smith by the hand. His bushes could
even be seen through the smudge on
his face, and, moving the tailor down
to the foot, the king placed him at
the head of the table.
"The tailor alone of all the crafts
men did not like this change of places,
so, watching his chance, while the
Others were drinking the health of
the king in great hagons of beer, he
slipped under the table and with his
shears cut the edges of the black
smiths apron.
"And that is the way the black
smiths apron came to be notched,
and it has been so ever since"

SINCE WILLIE GOES TO SCHOOL.

Since Willie goes to school the days
Are always full of peace,
And in a hundred little ways
The cares of life decrease;
The halls are Uttered up no more
With blocks and tops and traps;
No marbles lie upon the floor,
But are we happier than before?
All, well, perhaps-perhaps!
Since Willie goes to school the cat
Lies doing In her nook;
There are no startling screeches that
Make all the neighbors look;
His playthings are all piled away,
No books bestrew the floor,
But have found hair today,
Deep-rooted, glistening and gray,
That hid itself before.
Since Willie goes to school hear
No pounding on the stairs,
Nor am called to help my dear
Make horses of the chairs;
A sense of peace pervades the place,
And may be fool
To shed the tears that streak my face,
But boy is In my baby's place,
Since Willie goes to school.

The Japanese LabOrers Want Contracts
Annulled.
Honolulu, June 1S, via San Fran
cisco, June 3O.-A series of strikes has
been inaugurated by Japanese laborers
on several of the islands. 1t is report
ed that the Japanese have been told
that they are free American citizens
now and that the American laws pro.
vide that no workingman shall receive
less than 81 day. The labOrers de.
mand the cancellation of their con-
tracts, and that the plantations shall
pay each individual laborer the 50. so q
month, which, by the terms of the con.
tract. are to be paid to the immigration
companies, in consideration of the
companies having brought the laborers
to the islands and guaranteeing his SER
vices during the contract period. or to
replace him ii he deserts. So far as
the $3.50 per month is concerned, the
plantations are willing to accede to the
demands of the laborers, it is stated.
but they are not willing to consider the
contracts as having been annulled by
the territorial law. A delegation sent
to the Association OF Maui by the jap
anese immigration companies received
violent treatment from the strikers,
and they were forced to return to Hon
Olulu.
