JINEICKSHA IN JAPAN.
Device Suggested by an American in
Yokohama in 1869.

Correspondence Honolulu Star.
In the latter part of the year 1859. l was
in business in Yokohama and as my knowl-
edge Of the japanese language was limited
to few words. l employed, when neces-
sary, the Rev. Mr.. Goble as my interpreter.
Mrs. Goble was confirmed invalid and
could walk about only a little. Happening
TO see in j. r. Blacks auction room an
English bath chair for sale, l mentioned
the circumstance to Goble. telling him it
would do for Mrs Goble, as a few coolies
could pull it along. 1 purchased it and pre-
sented II to him, but the machine was SO
heavy when it came to drag it mp hill, a
few extra coolies had to be employed
Mr.. Goble was bit of carpenter ard
possessed a fair share of ingenuity. SO he
took off the heavy leather-coVered frame
and the forward wheel with all it's attach
ments, and made two shafts so that a man
might get inside them. This reduced the
weight by two-thirds, a light awning was
put then the body, and that answered
very well One man was sufficient to pull
1t along and two would pull ii up Heights
HILL Shortly after he placed front bar to
connect the shafts together A carpenter
who had a small place in Homoro did the
work, end that was the first 'Jnrky." The
japanese were quite taken with the outfit
and they started In with vengeance. and
now 1t is not only the national conveyance
of Japan, but also in China and India.
Mr.. Goble was an American, born i'm Mas
sachusetts, employed Baptist mission
ary-original occupation. a shoemaker But
as he seldom gots remittance from his
church in America he was glad to do any,
thing to procure a subsistence for himself,
wife and two daughters. Mrs. Goble had a
small school where she taught japanese
children, and Mr.. Goble, with the aid of
Otormo Sadagiro. made the first translation
of the gospel of st. Matthew.
AS the Japanese are claiming the inven-
tion of this handy little vehicle, | write
these few remarks to place credit where
credit is due.

Beauty of the Pine Fringes.
John Ruskin.


Lowland forest arches overhead checker
the ground with darkness, but the pine.
growing in scattered groups, leaves the
glades between emerald-bright. Its gloom
is all its own; narrowing into the sky, it
lets the sunshine strike down to the dew,
The third character which / want you to
notice in the pine is it's exquisite fneness
other trees rise against the sky in dots and
knots, but this in fringes. You never see
the edges of 1t, so subtle are they; and for
this reason it alone of trees, so far as
know, is capable of the fiery change which
we saw before had been noticed by Shake
speare. When the sun rises behind a ridge
crested with pine, provided the ridge be at
a distance of about two miles, and seen
clear, all the trees for about three or four
degrees on each side of the sun become
trees of light, seen in the clear fame
against the darker sky, and dazzling as the
sun itself. thought at first this was ow-
ing to the actual iuster of the leaves. but
believe now it is caused by the cloud dew
upon them-every minutest leaf carrying
its diamond. 1t seems as If these trees,
living always among the clouds, had caught
part of their glory from them; and. them
selves, the darkest of vegetation, could vet
add splendor to the sun itself.

Increase in Building as Com
pared With Last Year.
MILLIONS EXPENDED
LOCAL MANUFACTURE OF BRICK
A LARGE BUSINESS.
An Increase in the Output This Year
Over That of Last
Year.
MILLIONS EXPENDED

The committee intrusted with the duty OF
supervising the erection of church edlnce
for the congre cation of the Foundry NJ. Il.
Church has invited number of architects
to submit sketch plans for the proposed
structure. The plan of the competition Is a
liberal one, compensation is provided Tor
the unsuccessful competitors sufficient to
meet the expense of preparing the plans. 1t
is proposed to cover the entire ground with
a building which will consist of an audito-
rum and Sunday school room, with class
rooms, besides a kitchen and the other
facilities which required in modern
church work. The amount available for
building is $145,O00, but from that sum will
be taken sufficient amount to buy a lot
and erect a parsonage.
1t is believed that the entire ground which
has been secured at the southwest corner
of 18th and Madison streets is needed for
church purposes, but it is not proposed to
devote undue proportion of the space to
the auditorium, the latter will seat only
about eight hundred people, with perhaps
the addition of a gallery, with seating ca
pacity for about two hundred more. Stone
is to be used in the exterior walls, and 1t is
the purpose to have the structure of pleas
ing architectural design and an ornament
to the city, as well as a credit to the de-
nomination.

company Incorporated to buy and sell brick
on commission, who entered into an agree
ment with the manufacturers TO pay in
cash al a stated time each month for all
prlck purchased up to and including a
stated time the previous month. To enable
company to do this necessitated an agree
ment from the principal contractor or own
er that the brick ordered or purchased for
use under a contract should be paid for at
a stated time each month, so as to bring
the claim within the provisions Of the lien
law, or the acceptance of other security
Tor the accounts made for brick.
Sold on Commission.
Eight of the seventeen brick manufac-
turers, who made and sold 75 per cent of all
the brick used in this market entered into
a contract to sell brick through the COM
pany organized to do a commission busi-
ness, and have been promptly paid for all
brick purchased and sold The manufac-
turers who continued to sell their own
brick obtain considerable custom through
cutting the price, the amount of the COM
mission charged and not requiring the Sc
curlty the commission house was forced to
exact Six of the eight manufacturers who
originally sold their brick through the cor
poratlon organized to do business on COM
mission still continue to dispose of their
product in that way, paying per cent
commission, there being no limit to their
production and sales except their ability
the part of the consumer to be supplied
with brick manufactured by them.
Thls method Of selling brick, | believe.
brings to the front the better class of mas
ter bricklayers, who can and are willing TO
give satisfactory security for payment and
Is largely benefit to the property holder
making improvements, because that class
of mechanics taking pride In their work
use the best material obtainable OF course,
this method of selling brick is of great ad-
vantage to the manufacturers. whose ma
terial is sold at fair price whose ac-
counts are kept for them and the money
guaranteed monthly for the brick delivered,
for which they willingly pay per cent
The operations of the commission house
are IN no sense trust. That company does
not seek to establish prices by curtailng
the output. A customer buys of a manu-
facturer the brick which are the best in his
opinion for his purposes, and his wants are
supplied promptly in any quantity through
mat manufacturer, or those who have
brick of the quality bought by co-operation
through the commission house"

Increase in Building.

The steady increase in the volume of the
building operations during the past months
of the present year is feature Of the mar
ket which is looked upon as of special sig
nificancc. 1t is also known that this is
not due to any unusual circumstances, but
rather to an effort to supply the demand
from population that is growing in num-
bers. This activity affects all classes of
buildings, and while, perhaps, the apart
ment house may have a leading place, as
far as numbers go, in the list of new struc-
tutres. still great deal has been done, and
is still going on, in adding to the supply of
private residences, while at the same time
buildings intended for business purposes
are increasing to an extent that is surprs-
ing to good many people.
The exact extent of the growth of the
building interests of the cityi is net generally
