during his sleep the air which en-
tiers his open chamber window IS Ia
den with the odors of the harvest
season, or perhaps is the pure, slim
ulating atmosphere of the white, I'M
dulating winter fields. 1t all goes
toward making him stronger ,%sturdler,
more self-reliant, more ambitious,
more observing. He is healthy all
through, physically, mentally, 0
ally. Of course there are excep-
tions, many of them, as there are
among boys in all conditions of
life. And if he does not happen to
be of the Lincoln type, but only a
commonplace, though rather ambl-
tious boy, as the average man re-
members himself, then the same,
sturdy work and stimulating air will
help tone him up to the best that is
in him, and perhaps be the founda-
ton work that will be worth while.
Most of us have seen the discOn-
tented boy making a pretense Of
picking up stones or potatoes, or per
haps sulkily working his way across
an onion or turnip field, and we
know or can guess something of his
value in the economy of the farm.
And, on the other hand, we are all
more or less acquainted with the
resolute, energetic boy, whose limbs
never seem to tire, and whose great
ambition is to do the work of a man.
One such boy, who is striving to do
all he can, is worth a dozen of those
who are striving to do as little as
possible. Yet the two boys are much
the same, primarily. The difference
often grows out of the training, out
of early-formed habits. When a boy
realizes his responsibility, as well as
his possibility, he is on the road that
will bring him out all right in the
end nine times out of ten.-Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
The Farm Boy and His Ways.

country boys are familiar with all
the birds of their neighborhood, with
their comings and goings and odd
manners of life. They know which
are the permanent residents, and
which are periodical transients. They
can tell interesting things about
them from observations; can point
out their nests, identify their eggs,
recognize their notes and calls. If
a strange bird comes into the vicinity
they know it at once, and are keenly
interested in it's movements and hab-
its. These boys know about the in
sects, also, and about the small ami
mails of the woods, and about the
trees and their ann of growth.
Whatever is odd or striking has very
likely come under their observation,
and they are interesting as we'll as
intelligent companions for a stroll
across the fields or through the
woods. Other boys, just as bright
and wide awake and in the midst of
just as interesting things, scarcely
know one bird or tree or insect from
another. All their lives they have
heard birds singing about them; they
have roamed the woods, and climbed
trees almost without number; and
they have spent hours in the pastures
and along the brooks where insects
of many kinds gathered. They know
a butterfly as a butterfly, a crow
from a robin, and a walnut tree from
an oak or birch But of the habits,
the varieties, the manner of growth
or living, they know almost moth
ing. This is not from any lack of
capacity or from dissemination to
know. If they once begin to observe,
the chances are that they become in
terested. To observe and become
familiar with the wonderful things
around him is one of the advantages
within reach of every country boy.
It not only will add to the interest
and pleasure of the present, but will
be a benefit and joy through life.
With the study of books the country
boy should make a study of birds and
animals, of insects and trees and
grasses. This will broaden the mind
and make possible a greater success
in whatever calling is chosen than
could otherwise be had. A man who
knows his own business, and nothing
more, is not a broad man. It is dur
ing these early years upon the farm
that the boy can best acquire this
precious habit of observing and I'M
Outstanding things. No matter what
he intends to make of himself, it is
wise to study to-day's work and sur
roundings as though they bore direct
ly upon his future SUCCESSES, in
deed, they do. Let him inform him
self of the soils, their elements and
requirements; of fruit-growing in
its details; of the cattle and the mar
ket conditions; of everything, in
fact, with which he comes in contact
in his daily work. If he is to be a
farmer, it will mean a greater assur-
onoo of nrOrnor+u. 1f bo - 1OoI1nO

affecting his material prosperity, the
knowledge will be a satisfaction to
him through life. The very fact that
his life is an outdoor one, with
enough of wholesome hard work to
keep his muscles-aye, and his mind
actively employed, is an inestima-
bic advantage which belongs to the
country boy. Hard work is not an
i'll, not even an objection, unless it
be carried beyond reason. It is that
which makes possible the exquisite
pleasure of the later leisure and
recreation, and no one who has ever
been@ boy in the country need be
told of the solid satisfaction of hard
work we'll done or the full pulse
which goes into the play afterwards.
Because he is often less laxative
than the city youth who has been
made sharp by friction, he is m
times thought to be a dull boy; but
this notion is generally corrected by
closer acquaintance, especially when
one meets him on his own ground;
then every freckle on his sunburned
face seems eager to impart informa-
ton. He has had few companions
of his own age, and when brought
among strangers is apt to appear shy
and embarrassed; and especially is
this true on his brief visits to town,
where everything is strange. But let
him be met and cOnversed with In his
own barn, or out in the fields or
woods with which he is familiar, and
the case. is very likely to be reversed.
Of course, it is not meant that the
average country boy is as keen
witted-and brilliant on the surface
as the boy who. has been passed
through the social polish which a city
affords; but when one penetrates
through the reserve of difidence to
the clear, practical, natural view of
things, the boy whose gait perhaps
betrays the furrow and hay field, is
very likely to hold his own. Lin
coin, Fulton, Carlyle, Garfield, and
other country boys who have gone
sturdily forward to the high places
of the world had their chores to do,
their stones and potatoes to pick up,
and during the stress of work they
went to bed with aching bones. But
this very hard outdoor work that
was strengthening and hardening
their muscles was also fitting them
for that other work which had to do
with a peoples welfare and advance
ment. There is no question of the
influence this sturdy, outdoor life
has upon boys; and the fact that
life is harnessed to regular, impera-
tive duties is to the boys advan-
tage. He is developed gradually
and healthily, his mind following his
physical strength rather than re-
verse; and round him, for his every
day study and observation, are the
very best object lessons possible for
for a boys developing life. He as

People of Hawaii and the Pacific
Coast have no good reason for sympa
thizing with Japan in her pilikia with
Russia. Japan is a country to be
feared in an industrial and commercial
way in the future more than any other
on earth. 1t is kind of fad to abuse
and hate the Bear, but it is only a
fad, unsupported by any business or
sociological reason or any legitimate
sentiment. America (including Ha-
waii) has nothing to fear from the
prosperity and progress of Russia, and
all to lose in the further enlargement
Of the head of pompous but silly little
Japan. If Russia would get in and
wipe Japan off the face of the earth it
would be the best thing that could pos
sibly happen to this mid-Pacific Terri
tory of the United States. 1t would
mean that the present-day children of
Honolulu will be rid Of a competition
already set out in a yellow cloud on
the western horizon, and that modern
civilization would speedily recover
from the setback it has received in
the past few years in these Islands
No absurd sentiment should be allowed
to override reason and fact in the
contemplation of this subject.

BRIGHAM AT IT AGAIN.

w. 7. Brigham, the very eccentric
curator of the Bishop Museum, has
again traduced the good name of the
late Father Damien, this time volun-
tarily and without any provocation or
excuse. His auditors were strangers
in the country, but men who had heard
of the world-famous sacrifice of Father
Damien and who had learned to love
him for his remarkable work in the
cause of humanity. They could hardly
believe their own ears when they
heard man who is also noted, as the
head of one of the most important mu-
seums in the Pacific, revile the mem
ory and name of one who had won the
admiration and affection of all Christ
endom.

TOPICS OF THR DAY.

The Portuguese have trough
house" way of doing politics. A prin-
cipal cause of the friction and trouble
between them at the present time,
however, is the effort of a certain
clique to gain control and run the
vote of the colony. 1t is a Republican
conspiracy, set at work by the Central
Committee, and sailing under the
guise of being a purely Portuguese
movement. But there are Portuguese,
withal, with sense enough to detect
the color of the cat in the jute, and
they object to being deceived.

them through the museum that the
Satanic impulse in Brighams makeup
began to assert itself and his serpent
tongue began to discharge its venom.
AS usual Father Damien was the OBJ,

greatly surprised but that surprise in
creased to amazement when the cura-
tor followed his initiatory remarks
with several minutes of bitter and
false aspersions upon the character of
the great priest. The story was SO

The Catholic Church in Hawaii has
repeatedly protested to the trustees Of
the Bishop Estate against the calum-
nies heaped upon the name of Father
Damien by the curator, but none of
these protests were properly needed.
A few months ago the abuse became
so persistent that a strenuous protest
was filed, together with request that
Brigham be discharged from service at
the museum. To this note the trustees
responded with refusal to dismiss the
offending curator on the plea that his
services were of such great value that
they could not be spared 1t was init
mated, however, that an effort would
be made TO induce Brigham to cease
his wholesale abuse of Father Damien
