SUGAR CANE IN HAWAII.
Y.lrely Srcna at the Mill -Vol- of Tr.im
ltrtlon Lalxirorn' llourcw.
The hii.tr cuiut is crown mostly tijion
the plateaus or level itrctehes of. land, for
the s;ik! of irrigation, mid covers sicre
upon acre of ojx-n country, down to the
ocean shore itself. The fields are dclined
by Mil id fenws of rou;jh stones-, at once
economical, durable, arid pit tureMjue.
After the lirst crop of rune is gathered
in, there an; two or even three volunteer
crops, known as "rattoons" ; and after
the last crop the stubble is burned and
the land allowed to rest, when it is
plowed und planted aain with cuttings
from a previous harvest, so all the various
processes are Koing on at tin; selfsame
lime. When the cane is ripe, it is cut otf
with a sharp knife about a foot from the
ground, by native, Portuguese, or C'hi
iieso laborers. The tops and leaves are
trimmed to be used as fodder for tho
cattle, nnel it is then ready for the meta
morphosis into sparkling sugar.
At tho mill itself all is animation.
Down the winding hillside come team
al ter team of ox carts, laden to over
flowing with the succulent cane stalk,
each team drawn by six sturdy oxen. lh;
dusky drivers running excitedly before
them and using, to an accompaniment of
violent language, the formidable -black-snake,"
or cowhide; whose strokes, how
ever, seem to have but small elFect upon
the speed of the patient and liewildered
hurdt n bearers. Each load is deposited
in front of the mill and the teams return
t he same way they came, so there is a con
tinual stream Iioth going and coming. On
Kome plantations the cane is transported
by 1 1 lea 1 1 s o f 1 1 u m evs e x t ei id i n g f roni t h e n i ill
to the various parts of the held. The cut
ters throw the stalks into the flume, by
the armful, und the current carries them
to the mill, when; they are strained out
by a rough pet of wooden crossbars and
on these carried on to the crusher. The
fact that the cane fields are, as Ik fore
mentioned, on the levels and irrigated
makes it possible on very many planta
tions to use this cheap and eiiective
method. It is certainly the most char
acteristic of them all and is jiossible only
in an abundantly watered land. Other
modes of transportation aro employed, as
seen in the elevated railway in the fields
ol Kealia, and the flat Units from the
liottom lands in the district of Hanalei.
Sugar making does not differ mate
rially from tho methods employed in
oilier countries. There are the various
processes cf crushing and maceration, of
li'tcring and purifying, of boiling in the
vat and the vacuum pan, of passing
through the '"double eliect" into the
coolers, and thence to tho centrifugal
machine, from which it issues the lirst
euality of brown sugar, ready to be
; hipped to the distant refineries in San
I-Yancisco.
Eac-h mill has its individual village of
laborer's houses, which are either thrown
picturesquely down upon the hillside,
like cast olf pasteboard boxes, or stand
ing in neat and regular rows. There aro
also the comfortable homes of the over
seer and sugar boiler, a store ami pest
ofiiee, and perhaps a church or school.

Tho Tax Collector In Russia.
Taxes are based upon the estimates of
tire collector 113 to what can be paid.
There were appraisements of property,
and there arc appraisements yet. The list
of nobles, however, pay only enough to
keep-up the appearance of paring. The
middle classes those who have enough
property hi farms, etc., to make them a
living when worked, mid those who gen
erally become "Nihilists on account of tho
deppotisui pay the burden. The tax
collector watches closely the property cf
the-io people, and if they reroof a house,
paint, build a new structure' or a fence,
a '-reapprciscment" is directly made,
though the man may have just paid his
taxes, and additional taxes are de
manded. They must be paid instantly.
The laws about confiscatie; pre;ery of
persons who refuse to pay taxes tire
simply awful. If the property owner
makes any fuss about the matter he is
classed as a conspirator, a conniver
against tho government, anel some fmo
clay or night he is calleel upon by ofiicers
who look like innocent citizens. He
leaves his family "to go to town." and
next he is seen in the spirit land, lie
goes to the shooting gallery or Siberia.

Mended Dolls for a Living.
The cloll doctrcss, of Leipzig, Germany,
died recently. Mrs. Emma F. Schneider
had buried her husband and only child
many j-ears ago. After her bereavement
she felt an irrepressible love for children,
which she tried to satisfy. Ilcr poor lit
tle girl hael left a few dilapidated doiL.
She proceeeled to fix them and gave them
to a few little girls, who repaid her for
her kindness by going frequently to vLdt
her. When their dolls got broken they
again applied to her to restore them,
which she did. Soon all sorts of dolls
were brought to her to be fixeel, which
occupation gradually developed into a
regular and paying business. Her little
rooms wero soon filled with dolls which
covered tho floor, the tables and chairs.
And busy among the heaps the old, stoop
ing little woman moved about and doc
tored the dolL, putting in an eye here, an
arm or foot there; making new wigs for
the bald heads and stuffing the body anel
limbs which had lost their roundness j re
storing every doll to primitive yemthiul
ness. Thus she was known to all the
cHIdrcn of Leipzig us the doll doctress.

MAKING A MAN OVER.
A I'ormulator" iiv Away Some
of
t tr SiTrftn of Ilia Art.
"Formulating done here," read a sign
on One Hundred and Twenty-lif th street
over a store. A re.rter who was igno
rant of the meaning ventured in to a.k.
lie went into a, clo.-o, dark apartment on
the second lloor of the building, and as
he entered h-heard then-mark: "If they
were not as vain as w omen 1 wouldn't
be here today."' Tho speak r was a lit: !,
stubby man, with small, gray eyes, full,
red lx-ard and an unctuous, flabby face.
Scattered around him on the bench on
which he sat and alout the floor were
pieces of silk, satin and serge, bundles of
horse hair and packages of half open
cotton. The little man was busily stitch
ing a blue satin quilted article that looked
like a cushion of a baby carriage.
"Yes, 1 am what tailors term a formu
lalor," ho continued, in a thin, squeaky
voice. '"The word is judical ivc of my
trade, or rather profession. My occupa
tion is truly the latter, inasmuch as it is
an art the art of improving, cinlieUish
ing or modifying the masculine figure, as
the case demands.
"1 'adding';" Yes, some might term it
that. Didn't you know that men pail,
eh? Why. ble.-s your soul, they have
liecn doing it since the day of Joseph.
There is a trite saying among our craft
that his Voat of many Colors' was made
by a formulator.
The speaker separated a thread with a
finger nail close to the garment. Then
be held the pad toward the light, scruti
nizing it critically, seized his tape line
and Itegan measuring the garment, re
ferring constantly to a small piece of pa
per with the measurements on it.
"The man I refer to is a creature of
dissatisfaction. Nothing alxuit his own
personality or make up contents him.
lie is essentially a being of observation..
If ho has a friend who is short and fat,
while be himself is tall and thin, he
forms the idea that he, too, would like
to Ik; stumpy and adipose.
"A tailor can do little for him, but wo
can. Lilicral but discriminating padding
will make him corpulent, and if his make
up is expertly jx rfected it will give him
the appearance of being considerably
shorter than when in his normal state.
His friends will remark how well he i:i
looking, ask how- he has grown so (leshy,
and the artful tleceiver will launch into
such a dissertation of gastronomy that
the horse hair appliances in his artificial
chest will shrivel up into a double bow
kneit with surprise.
"These forms are not limited entirely
to tho trunk of the subject. The calves,
hips and knees all come in for its Ix-nelit.
You know that the knee of a man's
trousers in less than a month after they
are made beveuue "baggy." This neces
sitates any amount of running to the
tailor's and having the garment pressed,
if the wearer desires to Ih well dressed.
Although constant landing of the knee is
in part the cause; of this eyesore to men,
the construction of the memlter is the;
principal reason of such a state of things.
Ne look here," and the little man
stretched one of his fat legs straight e;;t
lx-fbre him. "Feel my knee; you see
the knee cap sits Hke a hilock over the
points. lielow it the limb swerves in.
Now how an; you going to make a fron
tier leg sit smoothly he-re without catch
ing? Can't say? Then I'll te-11 you: use
forms below and above the cap. and tin
trousers will lit hke a glove and won't
bug.
"You see the form being stitched to
the lining ef the garment makes it stilt
and prevents the cloth straining. Yin:
may have noticed that the cloth never
stretches at tho knee cap, but alve and
below it. A little dressing about the W
large calf and a little doctoring at this
member' icself is a valuable aid to the fit
of he leg casement.
'You can imagine how extensively
padding is carried e:n with professionals.
Of course, the balh-t is a whole ceiliee
tion of 'fats.' but as it is consed more
or less of the fair sex, it is not my prov

" rats' are made of a variety cf ma
terials anel worn in a variety of ways.
Chest and spinal articles are made like a
sleeveless jacket of one continuous piece
of mate-rial. There is a bole for the head
and the garment is slipped on by extend
ing the arms upwarel and perpendicularly
and letting the article fail on. Over the
muscles of the chest the garme-r.t is
padded to any extent desired. Tho small
of the back is also touched up as neces
sity dictates. The body cf the article is
of silk or chamois. The chest pads in
cold weather are always worn next to
the skin. 13y this arrangement the effec t
is natural and consistent, and it is almost
impossible, c-ven by feeling, to discover
the artificiality of the padde-r's figure.
Why, there is no limit to our possibilities.

paeldc-d undergarments, not particularly
for the effect, but because tho clothing
fits more comfortably." New York Star.
Type 3iaile from Paper.
Type rnado from paper is the latest
novelty. A process has been patented in
England by which large type useel for :
jIacards can be made from pulp. Such
letters are at present cut on wood. Tho
pulp is reeluccel to a jiowtieivd or com
minuted state, after whiedi it is thorough! v
mixeel with a water proollr.c
t r
ud cr
material, such as a paraftlne oil er a thy
ing linse'ed pil, for instance. The mixture
is then tlried r.nel subsequent !y pulverized.
In its pulverized state it is introduced into
a, mold cf the requisite construction to
produce the desired artie-lc tyje; or
block and then subjoetoel to pressure to
consolidate it and heal to reiieler tacky er
adhesive the water prooiiug material.
Finally, the type is cooled while in nieM,
eo as to cause it to retain its shape and
solidity. Chk-ago News.
