Tangier Island.
Where The People Do Without jaIls,
LAWYERS. Horses ana Cows.

There is a little island in Cnesa-
peake bay, 125 miles South of Baltl-
more, where the world has stood still
for more than hundred years. Tan
gier island is five milse long and much
less than a mile wide, but more than
1.5OO people live on it. There is only
one street. nine feet wide, without side
walks, and the houses are all built
along this street with narrow canals of
the deep water of the bay between
each two houses. There is only one
church, presided over by Methodist
minister, and only one doctor, and
there is no cemetery, the dead of each
family being buried in the yard. There
is no newspaper, no Jail, no lookup
and no lawyers nor any need for them.
Everybody is deeply religious, and
profanity is punished with fine impos-
ed by the deacon Of the church.
The men 60 fishing and grabbing in
sailboats early on Monday mornings
and do not come home until Satur-
days, when they have marketed their
sea harvests in town on the mainland.
There are no gardens, no horses or
COWS, but plenty of chickens are raised.
Fuel is supplied to the islam ers by
sloops, which come every month or SO
loaded with wood and anchor off
Tangier, sending small boats piled
with cordwood and kindlings to every
house by means of the little canals.
The womeL wear sun ponnets and 60
barefooted, and there is an organ in
nearly every home. Tangier was first
settled by white people IN 1866 and be-
fore that time was occupied by the In
dians.

My Prayer.

If there be some weaker one,
Give me strength to help him on;
If a binder soul there be,
Let me guide him nearer Thee.
Make my mortal dreams come true
With the work fain would do;
Clothe with life the weak intent;
Let me be the thing I meant.
Let me find in Thy employ
Peace that dearer is than joy;
Out of self to love be led,
And to heaven acclimated,
Until all things sweet and good
Seem my natures habitude.
John G. Whittier.

Sorrows of Werther.

Werther had a love for Charlotte
Such asSwords could never utter;
Would you know how first he met her?
She was cutting bread and butter.
Charlotte was married lady,
Aud a moral man was Werther,
And for all the wealth of Indies
Would do nothing for to hurt her.
So he sighed ali pined a;ld ogled,
And his passion boiled and buboled,
Till he blew his silly brains out,
And No more was by it troubled.
Charlotte, having cen his body
! Borne before on 2. shutter,
Like we'll conducted person,

THE FUTURE OF THE
JAPANESE IN HAWAII

the early times a very great disparity,
but as Dr. Clark has shown in his re-
cent report to the Bureau of Labor,
conditions are very much more nearly
normal among the japanese under
twenty-one years of age, there being
rough y, fifty-fve per cent. males and
forty-five per cent. females the last
year, while for the entire Japanese
population it is still under normal,
about seventy males to thirty females.
This increase in females will account
children during the past decade
among the Japanefe, an increase so
great that one-quarter of the entire
Japanese population is native born
and 1t is conservatively estimated
that in another census period full y
oue-half of the Japanese population
will be native born. AS the entire
adult immigrant class of Japanese
came to Hawaii in the prime of life,
the death rate has been very slight so
that the natural increase in this one
race in ten years was nearly 10000
Notwithstanding that at the time OF
the last Governors report more adult
Japanese had left the country than
bad come.
An interesting fact that bears upon
tho Oriental situation on the main
land, is that between the years of 1902
and 1905 about 10000 Orientals had
left Hawaii for the American main
land and this number was very large
ly Japanese
1t must be admitted that in general,
the effect of plantation life uDon the
Japanese has not been beneficial to
them in matters of morals and man
ners. Their expectation of speedy
return to their own homes has maze
them content with very poor quarters
in many cases, and they have shown
little disposition to improve them
even when plantation managers would
have been willing to assist them. 1t
has been a great surprise and shock
to their countrymen to find how IN
different the laborers on the planta-
lions had become to the ordinary
amenities of life in marked contrast
to their former habits in Japan. This
was natural enough: they were in Ha-
wall to make money and then to go
home and enjoy It as speedily as pos
sible. 1t should be saiu in this con-
nectlon, however, tat efrorts origi-
mating in the Hawaiian Board of Mis-
sions have resulted in a greater pride
in appearances, as shown by the
planting of trees and the beautifying
of rooms and quarters. This move
ment has been cordially seconded by
plantation arrangements.

Brief History.

1t was in 1868 that the first shipload
of japanese was brought to Hawaii to
supply labor for the plantations and a
large number of this body was subse-
quently returned so that in 1882 there
was said to be only fifteen japanese
on the plantations in a total number
of over 10000 laborers In 1884 there
We're nearly 1000 brought on one ves-
sci, including 1853 women and 1O8 chill.
dren. It. was at this time that the
formal application was made to the
Japanese government by the Hawaii
an sugar interests backed by the Ha-
waiian government to supply labor for
plantation purposes. The agreement
entered into gave the Japanese gov
ernment ample hold upon the Hawaii
an government for the care of it's sub
1ects. An opportunity to make money
in a foreign country and return with
a compentcy, proved so popular in
Japan, that $4,000 men applied for
passage in the year 1886. Before 1896
the Japanese government interested
itself directly in this immigration pol
icy, passing a law in that year safe
guarding the immigrant and his fam
lily in Japan by requiring a certain
surety and then sprang up surety cor
porations which were practically emil
grant companies These have been
undertaking the whole matter of emil
grafton ever since, receiving trans
portation money from both the Ha-
waiian planters and from the expec-
tant Japanese laborers as well,-due
to the competition for opportunities
to go. The maximum of Japanese on
Hawaiian plantations was in 1904
about $4,000, which constituted about
seventy per cent. OF the entire labor
on the plantations. This was also
about the number in 1908 from which
number there has been a fall to 2S,-
900 in 1910. There has been no as
sisted immigration from japan since
about 1908,
AS to total japanese population in
Hawaii at census periods 1t was in
1896, $4,000; in 1900, $4,000; in 1910,
nearly 10000. The discrepancy be-
tween these two sets Of figures, max
ing due allowance for women and
children, leaves room for a goodlV
number of Japanese men employs"
in other than plantation work. suen
