OLD GOVERNMENT JAVA.
lou may remember that one Of the best
brands Of the coffee OF the past was .'o.d
Government Java" This came from the
coffee plantations owned by Holland on
this island. For many years the Govern
ment was the chief coffee grower here.
1t had Thousands Of acres of coffee es-
tates which 1t manage by forcing the
natives to work upon them in lieu of taxes.
These estates yielded a vast revenue. From
1881 to 1876 Java turned into the Dutch
Treasury about $50. 0oO. 600. and the most
OF this came from coffee.
The Government is raising a good deal
OF coffee to-day. but the business is gradu-
ally going into the hands Of private par

The portable house can be packed away
into a small space when the immediate
need for its use has disappeared. and 1t
can then be stored until the change of
shifting population from one section of the
city to another results in more children ap-
plying to some school than can be accom-
modated.
The floor and ceiling are composed ot
twelve sections: the side walls of twenty
sections. and the roof of six sections. Thus
this structure can be easily put into a

cream of the product of this island and
6rmatra goes to the United States, and
that the most OF it is at such high prices
that It sells only to the rich. We take the

COFFEE IN OUR COLONIES.
The matter is being studied by the ARri-

within the next few years experimental
ccne plantations will b established in
the Hawaiian Islands. In Porto Rico, sa-
snoa and the Philippines. AT present the
only cofree-producing country we have Is
Porto Rico. 1t grows some OF the best cof-
fee Of the world-conee which is better
than the average product Of Java, but

and Spain. Porto Rico produces s4,ooo. 900
pounds OF coffee q year. and its product
might be made ten times as great AZ 1t ia
now.
tn Hawaiian Islands are just beginning
TO raise coffee. There are about 1000
acres there which are now being developed.
and the plantations are paying enormously.
During my stay In Honolulu I was told
that coffee raising melted - Per cent on
