A VISIT 10-JAVA,
The following are interesting extracts from: Mr. Ukers' interesting article in the Tea and Coffee Trade Journal'-
It is a complete transition from the Straits Settlements to Netherlands India, says the writer. One is quick to feel the impending change as soon as he steps on board the Dutch steamer that is to ferry him across the inter." vening water. The interior fittings, the de- corations and the cuisine are essentially Dutch. The first day out the '

Indeed, the native in umatra is so well off that? he has to be almost coaxed to work on the coffee' states. As it is, he wants such good pay for his hire (being so ndependent of Europeans). that tea cultivation is not possible in Súmatis because labour is so dear-not scarce, but bigh priced..

With the costume, little high-heeled slippers are worn on the bare feet; and the hair is done in native style, simply drawn back from the forehead and twisted into. a knol at the back of the head. Altogether, this, style of attire is original rather than becoming, remarks a Dutch writer. It must

On every side one is made conscious of the fact that this is a Dutch Colony. These are Dutch colonizatino meihods he rees being I put it practice everywhere about him, and, when one has visited Holland, there is much thai is familiar. How does
DUTCH COLONIZATION differ from the French, German, English or American? Well, that, foar must be reserv. ad for another story. uffice it for the pre. sent that it is superior (in the writer's humble opinion) to all these in some respect, and in some few respects' their inferior-but very few. In a word it closely approaches the ideal,
Generally speaking, one's first impression of a Dutch colonial town is that theas sturdy. people have transplanted to the tropics bodily and without change the most striking feature of the Dutch landscape. I refer to the systems of canale which are to be found even in the smallest communities. Second, there is a feeling that many of the manners and customs of the Dach homeland have been neatly. adapted to tropical needs and this applies even in the architecture of cities and towns. It is still Holland--but
A. TROPICAL HOLLAND, not a Holland of the 43rd parallel north, but of the 6th south. And this, let me remark in passing, is something which the Englishman finds it hard to do. He finds it hard, when moving to the tropics, to adapt himself (except In minor details) to the tropic, to the differences in climate. He builds European houses adapted only to the temperate zone in Colombo and Singapore; he dresses for dinner
