Without some artificial stimulus, the
influx Of white settlers promises TO be
exceedingly small. And yet permanent
prosperity and the solution Of the grav-
est political and social problems that
confront Hawaii depend upon Just this
sort Of immi grafton. When white fami-
lies have once settled IN the Islands
and have become acclmated, they find
opportunities. especially in the field OF
agriculture. TO acquire lands and homes
and 10 attain economic independence.
The revival Of coffee farming would
doubtless increase the permanent white
population Of Hawaii. and be to the
advantage Of every other industry IN
the Islands. It would thus assist IN
solving the political and social problems
which confront the Territory, and in
crease its value To the United States
from both commercial and strategic
point Of view. There is demand for
either protection or a bounty sufficient
to enable producers to sell coffee profit

More attention has been given to
children's millinery within the past
three years than ever before. The re-
sult is a greater number of designs
to choose from. This branch of the
Lailliner's art was neglected because 1t
was not profitable to the milliner. But
now the manufacturers OF ha,- have
begun to produce numbers of pretty
and inexpensive shapes. which may
be quickly trimmed, and the milliner
has been able to show variety of
models at a price which her patrons
will consider.
Nothing will ever supplant the plain
"nat" in felt as the most popular of
hats for the little girl at this season.
Next to 1t are the bonnet-like hats, the
mushroom shapes, with dropping brim
and full, soft crowns. Two of these
pretty and childish models are shown
in Figs. / and 2. In the first soft
crown of velvet Is very cleverly mount
ed to the brim. Six box plaits laid at
equally distant intervals are slashed
so that a collar of soft ribbon is run
through them and is finished in rib

back. The same ribbon is plated in a
rufle about the brim. Little original
touches, such as there are in trim

children's millinery than any amount

Laying Of the Foundation.

The accompanying illustrations and
description of silo built on n ce-
ment foundation are taken from bulle-
Tin 1876 of the dairy division United
States department of agriculture.
To lay out the foundation, drive a
stake in the ground at the center OF
the proposed silo. Saw off this stake
at the height desired for the founda-
ton wall, which should be at least
one foot above the ground on the high
side. II the ground is sloping. One end
of a straight 2x4 inch scantling, lit
tie longer than is necessary to reach
from the center of the silo to the out
side of the foundation wall, should be
nailed on the outside of the stake
with a 40.penny spike. This spike
then marks the exact center of the 81

marked every few inches. and these
joined afterward.
For concrete foundation, a ditch
must be dug before any of the earth
in the center is removed. The earth

each of these joins together by means

will be found convenient to have a
hose of large diameter (two inches)
with a valve shut-off near the tank,
and just low enough to reach either OF
the mixing tanks, and another five
eighths or one-inch hose long enough
to reach any part of the platform, with
a shut-off nozzle. On the corner across
from the supply tank is lime-slaking
box, about two feet wide, four feet
long, and one foot deep, elevated three
feet from the platform. This is pro-
yided with four or five-inch slide
