have undergone many notifications
since the time when the earliest Ha-
waiian BARRIERS We're probably looked
upon as tonsoral artists, and perhaps,
torturers. 1t was not the custom of
the men, before the coming of the
whites, to permit the hair to grow in
barbaric abandon. There were styles
in the cut of the hair in those days,
and any man, who wished to appear to
advantage before the women folks kept
in close communion with the modes.
In those days iron and steel, and in
fact, any kind of metal, We're unheard
of in Hawaii and the wonder is that
the BARRIERS succeeded at all in their
profession. First of all the native
barber went out to sea and killed
shark. He then extracted the molars
of the selachian, selected the best one,
tied il to a piece of wood, made some
show of putting an edge upon it, and
then went to work This was termed
the "hair-cutting tooth" (niho ako
lauoho). The candidate squatted on
the ground, generally close to a tree.
and the barber gathered up a handful
of hair, doubled it over the sharks
tooth, pushed the instrument forward
quickly, and the sheaf of hair was sew
cred. Thus the operation went on.
But no barber of ancient Hawaii put
out n sign Painless Hair Cutting" for
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1903-09-11

the operation was attended with a de-
gree of pain which caused the candi-
date, strong man as he was in those
days, to shrink under the torture. The
cause for the proximity of the tree
is obvious-it gave the owner of the
hair gripping place for his hands.
Those who failed to take pleasure
IN a haircut of this sort. had an alter
native. They applied fire to their
hair, which was protected in such a
way that 1t burned limited amount.
When the barber finished his task. he
supplied the customer with a looking
glass. This was generally a slab of
wood which had been thoroughly poll
ished and blackened with a dye, then
blackened with mud, then dipped in
water dried and again polished. When
wet again the holder could discern his
image family, but sufficiently to deter
mine whether or not the cut OF his hair
was satisfactory.

K|HE| PLAN
IS ADOPTED
The Stockholders
of Haiku and
Paia Wait.

BY the unanimous vote Of a large
majority of the stockholders of the XII
hci Plantation Co.. at a meeting held
in Alexander & Baldwins offices ves-
terday, the plan to place the company
upon new and substantial footing was
adopted.
Meetings of stockholders Of Haiku
and Paia plantations, which are neces-
sary parties to the scheme, were held
afterward to consider the same subject.
They, however, wished time to investi-
gate further and adjourned until the
2lst inst.
1t is proposed in the plan that Kihei
sell the 5000 acres of its lands that
lie above the 450-foot level, also its wa

cash. The water privilege consists Of
two-ninths of the water to be carried
in the koolau ditch now under con-
struction. Five companies are to be in
corporated to become the purchasers
of the land and water mentioned and
these, together with Haiku and Paia,
are to agree to sell to Kihei, for term
of forty-five years, all Of their surplus

TO SCHOOL
AnUnprecedentedCr Crush
o. Applicants for
Admission.

Never before has there been so large
an attendance at the public schools of
Honolulu, on the first two days of a
term, as the incomplete returns of the
present opening show. Where exact
figures have not reached the Educa-
ton office, reports of children turned
away for want of room have been re-
ceived instead.
At Kaahumanu school (Beretania
streeD there were COG pupils in attend
ance yesterday morning, with more
than a hundred applicants for admis-
sion besides. No effort to accommo-
date these will be spared. There are
twelve rooms in the main building,
with desks for forty pupils to a room,
which gives normal accommodation for
$50, and there is a cottage on the
grounds in which sixty may be COM
fortably placed. Thus, with the num-
Der already admitted, the ordinary ca
pacity of the school is seen to be over
taxed by sixty-six pupils.
Figures have not been sent in from
the High School, but Professor Scott
says the attendance is larger than
ever before and not all of the arpli-
cants for admission can be accommo-
dated
Kaakopua, the primary of the High
school group, was crowded yesterday,
pupils being refused all day. Kaiulani
school at Palama had an attendance
of 5S5 pupils.
The Royal school, from which re-
ports are lacking, is housed in a tenn
porary building of six rooms, con-
structed of the material of the Aala
Warehouse where it lately kept, and
in old cottages containing eight school
rooms. 1t is presumed that this time
honored institution will not contain all
the children seeking entrance to It.
There is loan appropriation of $40, 900
for new Royal school house, but when
the money will be available depends
entirely upon the floating of the Ter
ritorial bonds.
Besides the unprecedented swarminC
to school which has already taken
place, large accessions are expected
within the first few weeks of children
returning tardily from visits to friends
on the other islands.
The condition of crowding the schools
described here partially is a marvel to |
the educational authorities, after all |
that has been published about the |
exodus from the Territory of Portu- |
suese and working people generally. |
They cannot believe that the juvenile |
at all events, is decreas-

Secretary Shaw Not to Insist on
Bond Exchange August I.
Unsettled Conditions in Money Mar

Order Was Enforced.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Secretary Shaw
will not insist upon his order,
made some time ago, that the national
banks which a year ago in the finan-
cial stress of that time were allowed
to deposit state and city bonds with
the treasury as security for govern
ment deposits, substitute government
bonds for the state and city bonds by
August 1.
Last August and September the gov
ernment accepted about $20,O00,00O of
state and city bonds, and the banks
have taken up only small part of the
amount, notwithstanding that it is
now some months since Secretary
Shaw issued an order that they be re-
tired from the treasury by August 1.
The secretary will not revoke his Or
der, but 1t was announced at the
treasury department that, owing to
the unsettled conditions obtaining and
likely to obtain in the money market
for some weeks, the secretary will al
low the banks a little leeway to make
the exchange.

banks on state and city bonds depos-
tied with the treasury now amounts to
