trained native cattle to the yoke, bought
good steel ploughs and are teaching
Kikuyu men to turn a furrow. The
Kikuyu women, who used to dig up their
gardens with sticks, have lost their job.
Three hundred black men are employed
on this farm, and those who are handiest
and get a little beyond the rudiments are
sent out among their people to spread
the elements Of improved agriculture.
The appliances include American sowing
machines, disk harrows, hand cultiva-
tors, farm wagons and other wonderful
things. The squads that manage them
are awkward, II the photographs tell
the truth, but the boys are improving,
and they may be farmers yet.
Perhaps the good fathers are more en-
thusiastic than we are yer the efficacy
Of bacteria cultures In increasing the
nitrogen content of the soil. They've
caught that fever and maybe the results
will be good. At any rate they keep
the soil in good heart, and the blacks
are getting a glimmering idea that there
is value in rotation Of crops and the
application Of manure The white in
structors are enriching soils that are
naturally rich, to the wonderment Of the
natives. They a raise almost any
thing at that lofty altitude, from Ameri-
can grains to white potatoes, and the
native palate approves the new kinds
Of food that are coming into use.
This Is a kind of Christian endeavor
which all sects must approve. The new
things tend already to make Kikuyu
mothers something more than beasts of
burden. "What lie the use, the natives
are beginning to ask, Gin having the
women tote everything on their heads
when a yoke of cattle and a wagon
can carry as much at q load as fifty
women can tote?'

THEIR FIRST PAPER.
Created by Women to Defend JOS
ephine Against Napoleon.

An anniversary that has almost es-
capped notice ought to be commemorated
this year. 1t is just 100 years since
women first started newspaper to ad-
vocate their rights. agfav
In 1903 it was known that Napoleon
was determined to divorce Josephine,
his partner for fourteen years, because
she had given him no heir. A reason of
state like this carried no weight in the
female world and outside the circle of
courtiers all sympathy was with the
wife, especially when Eugene de Beau
harnais, Josephine son by her first
marriage, declared himself, in the SEN
ate, on the side of his stepfather and
against his own mother on the ques-
ton of divorce.
From the feeling thus stirred up there
arose a great feminist movement.
Seeing that popular opinion favored
the helpless wife as against the all
powerful husband, a group of young
women philosophers thought the time
had come for an effort for social prog
ress of their sex.
Their first step was to create an or
gan for feminist defense and so the
Athenee des Danes was born and, at
first, fourished vigorously. The pro-
gram Of these suffragists of 100 years
ago was given in manifesto before
the first number appeared.
"Must it be-" it was asked, Gas it
has been so long, that women should
be called nothing but the flowers Of the
human race, the charm of terrestrial
ewes? Must they be fiattered solely
for their physical charms, so as to
limit their empire to their fair youth,
which. alas. passes so soon? And yet,
true companions to man. they aid him
+o cross the stormy sea of life. Can 1t
be said that women are classed among
the domestic animal pets, whose pretty
little acts, the fruit of a happy animal
instinct, are so captivating? -
The Athenee des Danes put in its
against the common opinion that
man is superior to woman. elf wo-
men had not been for centuries brought
m in profound ignorance and had not
been persuaded by force of hearing
men say that they were created to obey
they would have long ago refuted this
it declared. ''The task or
our journal viii be to make known all
those virtues and all those talents
which the modesty of women makes
them shut up in their own bosoms, and
which have no witnesses outside their
families and the little circle Of friends
of each one.

altogether occupied with household ser

This movement which might have
cleared the way for the votes for wo-
men agitation of today had its days
shortened by an accident It happened
that shortly after the Athenee had be-
gun to spread the light, woman, a

MARINE
BUFFALO WILL COME
IN NEW WAR PAINT

When the cruiser Buffalo arrives here
next month with the battalion of ma
rines from San Francisco, she will be
adorned in her new suit of war paint.
The Buffalo was one of the vessels of
the Pacific feet selected to receive a
coat Of war paint before the end of this
year. She viii therefore be the first
warship of the American navy to visit
Honolulu in time of peace not in her
customary immaculate white paint
Just where the battalion of marines
viii be quartered is not yet known, but
the presumption is that one of the re
naming coal sheds at the naval station
viii be turned over to their use and
fitted up at least as temporary quar-
tiers.
The presence of a battalion of ma
rines means in all likelihood that a
major and three or four captains and
a few lieutenants will be stationed here.
There is a rumor that Major "Jack -
Myers of Picking siege fame viii be
sent here with the battalion.

Lifeboat Unfit.

\ wireless message received yester-
day from Mahukona gave information
of the fears Of the crew of the schoon-
er H. c. Wright that Captain Nielsen
and a boat s crew had been lost at sea.
A furious storm swept over the west
coast of Hawaii on Sunday. The cap
tain and two men were out in a boat
at the time, fishing. First they en-
deavored to make a landing and fail
ing, tried 10 get aboard the ship. Miss
ing the ship, they tried to stop at the
three buoys. Manager Elgin of the
Hawaii railway saw the predicament
of the men in the boat and sent
note to the first officer of the Wright.
The shore boat came back with the
information that the lifeboat was unfit
to be used in such a sea. From the
manner in which she maneuvered, it is
thought by those ashore watching
through glasses that the men were
picked up safely.
