PORTUGUESE
MAY BE HAD

Reliable labor for the sugar planta-
tions may again come from st. Michaels
and Madeira, whence came originally
nearly all the Portuguese residents of
the Territory.
Some time ago letters were forwarded
to st. Michaels. in the Azores, inquiring
whether any Portuguese families were
willing to come to Hawaii. A reply
to one such inquiry was received a few
days ago from the agent of the White
Star Steamship Company saying that
there was q continual emigration of the
residents OF both groups of islands, main
Iv In AIassachusets and California, and
he thought that If many were told OF
the opportunities awaiting them here,
they would willingly have their destlna-
tion changed to Hawaii.

ing before the public mind ate up four thousand words.
 Most men who gather in public places to air their views seem to fight shp or religious topics. Only three thousand words were devoted to church work Tn all it's phases and over half of those remarks were contributed by the preacher. Still religion fared better than science, which footed up only two thousand words. lht- erary topics were discussed In four thousand word limit; amusements, not withstandlng the presence of the actors was put off with another four thousand words, and the weather was disposed of in nine hundred words.
 Under miscellaneous subjects I have grouped irrelevant remarks which nobody. apparently considered worth answering, and all the printed swear words and the dashes which my reporter has catered profusely through his manuscript. Those fugitive sentences bring the total up to the 78,1O0 mark, and thus complete the rec ord, which l consider rather a remark able document"
 The head of the family looked uneasy. Ut is remarkable" he admitted. ''It rep- resents lot of work. What l can't see is. what good is 1t going to do you now that you have it?'
 'I don't imagine it will ever do me any real good" said the woman serenely; but I have satisfied my curiosity, and that counts for q good deal.''

What Men Talk About.

From the New York Times.
 What do men talk about just among men?" Is a question that has puzzled many woman. One of them has found an answer. She surprised the head of the family the other night by telling him that she knew all about it.
 How did you find out?" asked the head of the family.
 "by questioning, by listening. and by taking down verbatim reports of real con- yersation" said the woman. 'The first method did not amount to much. Men are very non-committal when questioned on a said: Oh, I don't know. Just any old thing we happen to think of guess. An- other said The ladies, a third said Poll tics, and a fourth Business
 Picking up chance remarks among men served my purpose no better. So Tar as could find out their conversation in public is made up chiefly of fragments.
 But the shorthand report did the bnsi- ness perfectly. I hired d reliable young man to loaf around hotel lobbies in offi- ces. and in mems lunehrooms for a week and take down the talk of the men he met Yesterday he turned in tabulated report. There are 246 pages of typewrit- ten manuscript which contain, by exact count, 7sl00 words. Twenty-Five differ ent men were responsible for the dialogue. Some of these men were educated, some were not There was a lawyer In the lot an editor, two real estate men, three drummers, an alderman, two policemen, one preacher, three actors, an electrician, a dry goods salesman, two teamsters, a colored porter, a sea captain doctor, and four of doubtful calling.
 'In this symposium twenty-seven sub iects were introduced, but only twelve were pounded out to finish. Of the popular topics the one that came in for most discussion was woman. It took more than thirteen thousand words to define her present status in the community and decide what ought to be done to make her known her place. Political questions stood next on the list. with another ten thousand words in round numbers scored up to their credit. "Reminiscences apropos of nothing and everything gave the men with experiences a chance to spread them selves which they did to the tune of ten thousand words more
 Business was fruitful topic Eight thousand words were required to settle labor troubles. build new subways. and put every enterprise in the country on e paying basis. In five thousands words the Russo-Japanese war was fought to the last ditch and the terms of the treaty arranged Another five thousand were re- quired to settle the prominent divorce suits now agitating society. Several cases of murder and embezzlement now loom
