and trace it on Japanese rice or any
firm paper with a semitransparent sur
face and paste it to the block. Have
the lines well inked so that when it
comes to cutting there will be no con-
fusion One of the delightful things
about this craft is that it is possible
with very little equipment to get re-
suits. For example, very simple pat
terms cut simply with a penknife are
as effective as though regular wood
carvers' tools were used.

pense, or if she has already done bit
of wood carving and so has the out

stright, curved and slanting edges, and
three gauges, one with a straight and
two wifi curved edges.
Paste the design which has been
previously traced on the block of pear
wood, then all is in readiness to begin
operations For vertical lines use the
straight chisel in outlining the design,
and the other tools will indicate their
uses as the work progresses. Outline

that the paper pattern may be mois-

OF course, the idea is to gouge or
chip away the background. leaving the
design either in high or low relief.
according to the taste of the craft
worker. AS a rule, the block in which
the design is in marked relief gives
the best results. However, this is
in either fashion.
1t is the aim, of course, in block
printing, to press the block on a pad
of color and then upon the material,
thus getting the precise impression Of
the design. 1t is applied at regular
intervals over the surface of the tex
tile, and. as may be imagined, the eff
feet is not only highly original but
invariably artistic as well.
Not only ink and oils, but dyes and
the Opaque colors may be used, but
either dextrine, mucilage or some fixa-
tive must be added to give the proper
consistency. If oils are used they
should first be diluted with turpentine
or kerosene and then thickened with
dextrine, the idea being to give the
color with the least amount of paint
used. The same method is followed
with the dyes and Opaque colors, though
to the former may be added simply
mucilage
Great care should be taken lest the
color lie in too great quantities on the
left. else the block will take up too
much and the design be spoiled. Many
craft workers prefer to apply the color
to the block with a broad. fat brush,
and this plan is adopted in the classes
at the Y. w. c. A. where some of the
best block printing in the city is done
by the students. The color is mixed in
precisely the same way with gum trag-

THE RETIRING BUSINESS

H. E. Huntington, the multi-million- aire railroad builder, is the latest of tho great ..captains of industry" to announce his retirement from active business life, and is going to take up his hobby, the introduction of tropical fruits in southern California.
 Carnegie retires and goes to building libraries. Rockefeller retires and goes endowing colleges. Hartman retires, and then doesn 't---but he'll probably go to endowing some sort of monuments of steel and stone when he really does.
 It would be intensely interesting to know the real feelings of these men of vast wealth when they come to the per iod of shaking of some of the burden of its possession.
 Probably some of them feel that the mere fact of their being able to "en- dow'' fully justifies all the processes through which they skinned the rest of us piecemeal for their dollars. Perhaps others of them really do want rest and let go in order to avoid evsr-ac- cumulating burdens. However this may te, it is a bit curious that the hobbies to which they propose to devote their future seems to be very similar. Hun tington may prove the exception to this If Huntington can make the desert places of Southern California or South ern Anywhere-elss produce fruits and vegetables, he will have created mon ument for himself far nobler than any poverty stricken college that Rocksfel can take under his wing. What is bet ter still, his example may be followed by other -millionaires and we may have great irrigation plants and vast settlement schemes as the result of tho philanthropy, or whatever it is thai prompts them, of our Croesuses. Surely it is better and nobler to make fn' farms for the poor of the cities, whereor they can be sustaining, than tt build them libraries that they can eat and won't make use of. And it i more patriotic, too, for the farm is stil the bulwark of the nation s greatness producing not only what fills the nation al stomach but the bulk of the brain that makes for national progress.

THE MAN WHO DICTATES

THE MAN Wx1O 14SAA46S We all know the dictatorial man, who tries to make us think and act in his way.
 Most of us despise him, many of us listen to him, and not few of us sub init to his dictations.
 He appears in many guises.
 He may be a proprietor of a great factory, who, for what he deans to be for the betterment of his employees, lays down certain conditions entirely apart from their work, and which he compels them to accept.
 He may be manager of a mine. who builds neat little houses for his miners and demands that they live in them, and provides a company store at which they must make all their purchases.
 Now, both of these plans and many others adopted by employers may really be for the betterment of most of their employees. And many other such plans forced by other employers upon their employees may be for their injury.
 The question is this: Who has the better right to determine by compul' sion what is for the betterment of man-the man himself or somebody else?
 Purely personal requirements and TO strictions not nodded into law, but laid down by one man for many men rot the many of part of their manhood And it takes lot of betterment and { certainty that the betterment is real tt compensate for this.
 Our dictatorial man appears in othel shapes.
 He may be doctrinaire, who by hi ceaseless haranguing would torture u into acceptance of his particular theor tes for the betterment of humanity.
 He may be religious dogmatist wh' considers everybody a fool who doe not accept his kind of theology.
 He may be husband who browbeat his wife into doing everything just hi way.
 He-but his name is Legion. Wha a pity that the devils cannot be driver out of himi
 He may be honest in his motives, bu he is an imposition upon many and nuisance to all.
 Ee exists only because we weakl permit him to.
 It is bad enough to ask too much ad vice. The habit weakens self f-depend ence.
 It is worse still to have too much at vice forced on one. That takes ava not only self dependence, but self r' spect, too.
 But even far worse than the takin of too much advice is the submissio to coercion. That makes one slav' None the less a slave because wiilin one, but all the worse slave for ths very reason, for he is enslaved in min as well as in body.
 We are used to the idea that slave exist because there are men stron enough to be masters. The reverse true-masters exist because there a, men weak enough to be slaves.

Certai systems of it have been abolished, ce tain forms of 1t have been changed all certain servile customs have died ou But slavery will exist just so long one man, willingly or unwillingly, in any way under the personal domin ton of another.

PUNAHOU GETS
ANOTHER GIFT
J. 3. Atherton Estate Gives
$4,000 for Endowment
Principal.

P. G. Jones. treasurer Of Oahu Col
lege, yesterday announced the gift to
the college from the ]. B. Anterior Es-
tate of $4,000 to be applied to the eR
downient. The gift is unrestricted. and
the income will be used in the disere-
ton OF the trustees to support the edu-
eational work of the school.
The trustees are naturally much
pleased at this generous donation to
the college funds. Coming, too. as it
does, practically without restriction, it
is in a form to be used where the need
is greatest.
1t is needless to say that there was
much congratulation among the mem
bers OF the board who were present
at the meeting Thursday.
Mrs. Atherton is former Punahou
girl. She was in attendance practically
| from 1850 to 1868. Mr.. Anterior at
the time of his death, six years ago,
had been a trustee of the college since
1881. In his twenty years of service,
/ he was most faithful and efficient
| member Of the corporation. All of the
, children, Charles H. Atherton of Castle
& Cooke; Alexander NJ. Atherton, now
| deceased; Mrs. Theodore Richards;
Frank c. Atherton of the Sugar Fac
tors Co, and Kate NJ. Atherton, have
been educated at Punahou.

SAYS ACCOMMODATION
FOR TOURISTS AMPLE

There is plenty of accommodation for
tourists IN Honolulu at the present time,
according to President Morgan of the
Chamber of Commerce, who believes
that it is mistake to allow the i'm
preston to go abroad that the hotel
accommodations of the city are taxed
to their utmost capacity.
+ eff the idea that the hotels and
rooming houses of the city cannot ac-
eommedate more tourists, is noised
on the mainland, of course peo-
pie will be inclined to remain away and
this naturally means loss to the city.
There are plenty of hotel accommoda:
tions in the town and we can take care
of all the tourists that can reasonably
be expected to come. 1t is certainly
mistake to state that the hotels are
filed to their utmost capacity

ORATORY AND
MUSIC At THE
OPERA HOUSE

It was tribute of sincerity that
Honolulu paid to the memory of
Americas great defender of democ-
raey and equality at the Opera House
last night. The exercises began with
music by the band of the Fifth Cav
airy, followed with an address by Col
W. S. Schuyler of that regiment, who
declared that his troops brought a
message of peace, not war, to the peo-
pie of the Hawaiian Islands. Then
followed a vocal solo, the .Star
Spangled Banner" by Mrs. Bruce
MeV. Mackall, accompanied by the
Fifth Cavalry banda most effective
thing.
Captain c. P. Rees, commandant of
the Naval Station, delivered a brief
address, picturing the great obstacles
which Lincoln overcame in his deter
mination to preserve the Union and
maintain a free republic. Captain
Rees concluded with the reading of an
original poem, which wildly traced
the career of Lincoln, from the log
cabin of his youth, to Washington, as
the Chief Magistrate of the nation.
Following the Grafton of the even
ing by Walter Clifford Smith, John c.
Lane read the Gettysburg address, and
the exercises closed with the benedic-
tion by Bishop Restariek.
1t was cosmopolitan audience that
did honor to the memory of America Is
great commoner, and, despite the rain
there were few empty seats in the
Opera House during the exercises. The
Consular Corps was in attendance, and
many representative men and women
! of the community were present in the
| audience.
Among those seated on the stage
were Governor Frear and his staff
