STUDENT LIFE IN ROME.
A Large Proportion Of Foreigners Are
Women.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
A woman recently returned from Rome
talks interestingly Of the life Of the art
students in that city.
1--WE sometimes hear" she says, that the
student life of Paris is no longer what it
was in old days. that its bohemianism now
takes very mild form and has been leav-
ened by many conventions. This is true
in some degree of Rome also, though much
Of the old Italian simplicity still remains.
The city is very small the country is eas-
lily reached on every side, from many of
the busiest points even in a few minutes.
The climate makes outdoor life natural and
easy, and the Italian is never excited by
the unconventional You can sit down and
eat your dinner at street corner and
hardly excite a passing glance.
at is vain to try to guess the number of
artists in Rome. The Circoio Artistico. or
Artists Club, has membership of sew
eral thousands; more than eight hundred
took part in recent pageant. There are
some hundreds of foreign students, and of
these a large proportion are women. Out
of sixty seventy Swedish ard Norwegian
art students more than two-thirds are girls.
Many Of these lead a most Independent
life, taking studio with bed room and
living at small restaurants. The English
and some of the American girls usually live
in hotels or pensions, often with their fam
lilies Frequently two or three girls take
a small apartment together.
1.-The Via Margutta is. as throughout the
last century, the great haunt for artists.
The place is perfect rabbit warren of
studios, and very delightful some of them
are. Space is little accounted of in Italy,
and an airy, lofty set of rooms may be got
for what seems a ridiculously small tent
to English or French ears.

GROWING OF TREES.
A System Which Eas Proved Of Much
Benefit.
From Up-to-Date Farming.

From Up-to-Date Farming.
On our up-to-date farm we sent out early
to DO what little we could toward keeping
the wooded part of the place intact. We
began by setting out few trees every
spring The first were set some twelve
years ago, along the roadside. and today
they are fine trees. large enough to cast
quite shadow. Some of those near the
house look beautiful now They are all
sugar naples. These grow a little slower
than any other, perhaps, but they are the
best trees for shade that we have.
Ihen, too, when we have been clearing up
prusn lots in the pastures we have left
every hard maple and ash and chestnut.
1t mas been understood that every such tree
was sacred. No destroying ak was to be
touched to 1t, unless to trim 1t up and make
nice row of naples along the highway and
about the house. They are a source OF
pleasure to US all. Not only that. they do
little toward keeping the climate of our
country healthful and lessen the danger
from floods
Every farmer ought to do something in
this direction. II he cuts down a tree he
ought to set out another one. Work he
never will get any benefit from, do
you say? How. much such work We must

Different Kinds of Feet.
From the Pictorial Magazine.

AS to national characteristics in feet. IL
may be said that the French foot is narrow
and long. The Spanish foot is small and
elegantly curved-thanks to it's Moorish

pride OF being high in the instep." The
Arab foot is proverbial for its high arch

can run under the true Arabs foot with

high and thick; that of the Irish fat and
square; the English short and f1eshy When
Athens was in her zenith the Greek foot
was the most perfectly formed and exactly
proportioned of that of any of the human
race. Swedes, Norwegians and Germans
have the largest feet. Americans the small

Printing in Persia.
From the Chicago Post.

Prom The Chicago Post.
Printing from type in Persia is not re-
garded with popularity. That country is at
the present day entirely dependent upon
lithography for the native production OF
books and journais-which are very rare.
A short time ago a press with movable
types was set up. upon which a certain
number of books was printed. The effort.
however met with no encouragement and
had to be abandoned The unpopularity Of
type printing I'm Persia Is due 10 two
causes: First. the straightnsss cf the lines
offends Persisn's artistic sense. and. sec
ondly. in printed books the character OF In
letters Is entirely lost. The Persian reader
prefers a well~written manuscript, ant
failing this he contents himself with a lith
ograph.. which is usually the fac-simile

Practice of the District Men.

The District team at the 2o0-yard targets
was somewhat behind the Jerseymen, who
also shot in practice under the Hilton con-
ditions, but the strong point of the present
holders of the trophy is the 500 and 60O-yard
stages of the game.
In the afternoon the work was resumed at
the 500 and 6O0-yard targets and the Dis
trict boys showed an Improvement in their
work The work of the team was very sat
isfactory to Major Bell. The eyes Of the
spectators were for the most part on the
District team, and its work is being
watched with keener interest this year than
ever before. If the team continues to i'm
prove as it has during its first days
work. good results may be looked for in the
matches next week.
Tomorrow the famous Wimbledon cup
match will be shot, and the event promises
to be the most interesting event on the
program. The match will be started at 1870
o'clock. The match Is open to all citizens
of the United States, the conditions being
thirty shots at ZOO yards. The handicap
for military rifles using government ammii-
milton Is eighteen points; special military

vice rifles that have been fitted with bar
rels by private makers have been admitted
to certain matches under the following re-
strictions:
The barrel must be capable of using the

But there are reasons why the Porto
Ricans want to leave Hawaii. and those
who are working save up money for that
purpose. First, there are the plantation
lunas. or overseers Accustomed to deal
ing with japanese and chinese, these men
are, to say the least. not considerate. The
Porto Ricans, naturally not overactive
workers, greatly object to being driven by
abuse. Then they claim that the privacy
of their homes, the little plantation houses
furnished for them. is not regarded. 1t Is
to be feared also that their women have
not always been respected. Men and wo-
men alike appear to be a helpless lot. and
they are in small communities on the differ
ent plantations. Stories are told which do
not reflect credit on some of the men whose
authority is supposed to rule, or upon the
activity of the Island police.
The story of the immigration of these
1900 ptiful specimens of humanity con-
tanned incidents which did not prepare
them to like their new home or to expect
good treatment. 1t was bad beginning.
On arriving in Honolulu in number of

for the immigration officers to find out
about family relationships The Porto
Ricans spoke foreign tongue, and most of
them were helpless, unable to force hear
ing of their complaints or protests. In this
lies the secret of much of the so-callcd
ill-trea tment of the Porto Ricans in Ha-
waii. They were not treated kindly by
their japanese fellow-laborers, not enough
respected by the overseers because they
had not the stamina to compel proper treat

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

HONOLULU, T. H, August /, 1902.
The Star Of July contained a letter
from Porto Rico In which was a complaint
OF a Porto Rican in Hawaii, who told Of
outrageous ill-treatmenI on a sugar planta-
ton of the Island of Kauai. This Is only
one of a number of such statements that
have been made, and newspapers of Porto
Rico have published charges of a similar
nature. Inquiry into the matter in Hawaii
shows that there is a mixture of truth and
misstatement In such reports, but that the
real cause of most of the trouble is the
character Of the immigrants who were
brought here from Porto Rico.
The Porto Rico experiment by the Ha
waiian planters has been a failure. At one
time it was intended to bring 10000 of them
here, If they could be obtained and were
satisfactory. About 5000 were brought.
Today there are less than 1000 of them
at work on the planta tions, 1t is estimated.
They We're worthless lot that came; the
agents who secured them recruited from
the jaiIs and from among the loafers of
the island, who were not wanted at home,
and, instead of securing workmen, the Ha-
waiian planters found themselves bringing
criminals and yagabonds into the Islands.
NO one who saw the steamer load of Porto
Rcans arrive In Hawaii can place any
credence in the reports of their not having
been given satisfactory food here or Of
having suffered such hardships that they
wanted to go back. Never before In Ha-
wall were such assemblages of weak, half
starved persons seen. The conditions they
left at home must have been terrible.
There are no such specimens of emaciated
humanity to be seen in Hawaii today. The
Porto Ricans do not present the same ap-
pearance. They have fattened up since
they have secured clothes.

Criminal Element Large.

The criminal element among them has
been very large. The police have had to
arrest many for vagrancy, and at last the
district magistrate of Honolulu adopted the
plan Of sentencing them to six months
hard labor when convicted of vagrancy. A
vagrant in country which is willing to
pay thousands, even millions, of dollars to
import labor is not entitled to much SYM
pathy, and he gets little in Hawaii.
In addition to all these causes Of trouble
and dissatisfaction there are the associa-
tions with Asiatic labor and the semi-feu-
dal system under which the plantations of
Hawaii are conducted, to make 1t next, to
impossible, II not quite impossible, to sue
cessfully introduce any other kind of labor
than Japanese or Chinese. AS far as the
charges of the Porto Ricans dealing with
hard conditions are concerned there is some
truth in them but the stories Of cruelty
and of courts that will not act to protect
Porto Ricans because the courts are
"owned" by the planters are absurd to any
one acquainted with the judiciary system
of the islands. The Porto Rican is at dis
advantage in Hawaii because he is a MEM
Der of a small race minority. The disad-
vantage is made twice as serious because
he seems unable to look after himself.
