A WORD. TO BoYs.-Come, boys, and
listen a few moments to your uncle. You
have now arrived at an agecwhen you must
begin to think about doing something for
Yourselves. The first piece of advice l
have for you il to do everything well which
YOU undertake. There is but little danger
of Your being too particular in this respect.
A boy who is careful to draw a straight
line on his slate, will be very likely to
make a straight line through life. There
is no position in life in which you will not
be called upon to act as exact as possible.
Step into jewellers shop, and see how
careful the workman must be in finishing
IN the article he holds in his hands. Visit
the shipyard, and the man with the broad
axe must learn to hew on line, or be dis
missed. You think of being clerk. Well,
remember that mistake there is little less
than a crime never saw man who was
very particular about his affairs that was
! not successful. How exact is q military
| officer in the command of a body of men.
A clumsy sailor will never rise to the
| command of q ship.
| But there is one great danger which
besets many young men at the present day
! 1t is the disposition to avoid all solid i'm
provement, and to take up with subjects
which require no thought, and which serves
as mere warfare with gOdliness, our portion
| will be that of the uDgodly. As the tree
falleth 80 shall it lie. We shall reap Wha
| we have sOwn.

SOMETHING NEw.-We recently saw some
thing new in the shape of concentrated
essence of oyster and clam" 1t is contained
in little paper boxes, and is in the form of
square lozenges. The directions for use are
printed, and set forth that one of the lozen-
ges is sufficient for pint Of rich soup. They
are first to be dissolved in cold water, and
then the mixture is to be boiled, with the
admixture of milk and either crackers or
stale bread. This new style of oyster and
clam can be found at Mr. HOLSTERS soda
water shop on Nuuanu street.

WHAT IS SODA WATER?-ls the absence
of soda from soda-water, asks the British
Medical Journal, generally understood fact :
That is the dictum of q respectable member
of the trade, at the recent Pharmaceutical
Conference. 1t was a comment, In the
course of discussion, upon a paper by Mr..
Proctor, in which he stated that not one Of
five samples proved what II ought TO be,
even in cases where the name of the maker
might be expected to be a guarantee of good
quality. Several speakers insisted that the
less soda the soda water contained, the more
il was relished. In answer to the observa-
ton that 1t would be highly interesting If
soda wafer manufacturers would let the pub
lie know what soda-water contains, Mr.. A.
J. Galley said that four years ago they manu-
featured sodu-water with fifteen grains Of
soda per hottie, and people complained and
said, I" What is the matter with this soda
water? 1t tastes like soap" They then de-
creased the quantity of soda, and in proper
ton as they did SO, their trade increased.
He could not state the precise quantity now
dissolved, but perhaps 1t was the fraction of
grain. He thought it very desirable that
people should not be supplied with soda
water with fifteen grains of soda In II, which
he limited might not be conducive to health.
If prescription, however, were ordered by
physician, soda-water of definite strength
would be supplied.

A MONSTER HoG.-A few days since, Mr..
Paul Jarrett was out with his natives on the
mountain of his ranch at Waianae, looking
for stray cattle, when he espied in thicket,
what he took to be half grown calf Dis
mounting from his horse, be approached the
animal, when it turned upon him with very
un-calflike gruut, and came at him open
mouthed. 1t was an immense wild boar,
with tusks six inches long, and Mr.. J. only
escaped by climbing the nearest tree. In the
meantime, the dogs drove Mr.. Boar into q
ravine, where he was finally shot. His flesh
was worthless, being lean and rank, and his
hide was fully an inch thick. An old set
tier, truly, probably weighing three or four
hundred pounds

STEAM FROM THE Suns HEAT.-Captain
Ericsson undertakes, the Builder reports, TO
supply new source Of heat in place of coal,
oil, &c. For several years be has been ex-
perimenting with the view of collecting and
Concentrating the radiating heat OF the sun,
with which, SO to speak, TO heat his furnace
AT length, at the beginning Of the present
year, be was able, according TO his statement,
TO construct three solar engines" of which
the first was driven by steam formed by the
concentration OF the heat of the solar rays;
and the other two by the expansion OF at
mospheric air, heated directly by concen-
trated radiant heat. His experiments show,
he asserts, that the concentration of solar
heat Oh 10 feet square, or 100 square feet Of
surface, develops a power exceeding one
horses power. We are curious TO learn the
exact nature of the concentrating mechan-
ism. A Mr.. Dellamater declares that the
enterprise Is already a success, and that,
"before the termination of the present sea-
son, bread will be prepared from flour
ground by the power of the !" solar engine. /"
Hitherto, however, Capt Ericsson's ingeni-
Gus caloric inventions have not been found
available on large scale as practical ma
chimes.

AMATEUR CoScERr.-The entertainment
given by the amateurs of Mechanic Engine
Company No. ., on Saturday evening last,
passed off remarkably well, and, considering
circumstances, was decided success The
play commenced punctualiy at P. NJ, and
to a crowded house. The opening chorus
"Down the river" was well sung. and the
comIcalities of the two end men in the circle
proved that they were the right men in the
right place. The song "Cnm plum gum"
and particularly the dance, was very well
done, reminding us of old stagers whom We
have seen act the part before. The Duet
"Switzer Song" and the ballads were sung
with credit and the recitation, "Shamus
O'Brien," was masterpiece. Among the
volunteers, who took part on the occasion,
were Mr.. and Mrs. Higgins. The lady sang
several difficult pieces with perfect ease and
command, and retired from the stage amid
applause. Some of the features of the even
ing, were the performances of Master Mclean,
the youthful Paganini, and the young Hawaii
an jig dancer. A pathetic air sung by Ha-
waiians was well executed, and evinced, as
We have often expressed, a decided musical
taste. On the whole the entertainment was
well gotten up, and proved that our anna
teurs have musical talent which can be easily
cultivated. We were highly pleased with
the success, and the evident satisfaction of
the audience, except one or two spirits of
discord, who seemed to be imbued with
spirits other than that of harmony, with the
evenings entertainment. The proceeds, we
hear, amount to considerably over $500.

RATs.-Coming down Fort street yester-
day morning, we saw quite crowd near the
corner of Fort and King streets, and thought
that We were on the track of an item, or a
sensation. But it was only "rat bait. :"
Some dozen or more rats had been captured
the night previous, and were let out one by
one in the middle of the street and imme-
diately nipped up by several little terriers.
Rats are extremely numerous in Honolulu,
and are increasing every year.

says Solomon; but had be lived in Honolulu,

ant would have come to him. In no one

Hoes.-By the rules established and pub
lished by the Board of Health, no hogs are
allowed to be kept within the bounds of the
city of Honolulu, but in spite of this, some
are kept, and at night may be seen roaming
about the streets, apparently having been let
out by their owners for the purpose of get
ting living by scavenging. What is most
repulsive about these hogs is that they prowl
about grave yards and modest the resting
places of the dead
