The Problem.

MIR. EDITOR - will not say that | think it im-
possible to multiply el9 los. lid. by itself by
duodecimaIs or cross-multiplicatiOn. but 1 do think
II a very simple process to find the product by the
decimal method thus, GIG los. Il3d. becomes
Is.s50-g6O. or 19s9ss5s3. &c, &c. The square Of
this reduced becomes 1899 l9s. I'D. with the re-
naming decimal fraction OF 4 farthing 1896. &c.
It will be seen that this result differs slightly
from that found by c. as published in the Gazette
Of the 18th. and ] believe / have discovered 4 mis-
take in his calculation. He says, we have the
GEO I~-g6OJs=e40O 4O-96OxI-g2l6OOe which re
duced gives 36S6OI6OI-9216OO Of c. or 1899 sS32OO-
92I6OO,r &c. &c. Now If G. will look over his
work. I think be will find that, in his reduction of
the product. he has treated it as though it were
E4OO I-g2I6OO-4O-s6O, instead Of E4OO-4O-s6Oxl-
$4,000. and has thus made it a fraction larger than
Il should be.

Mr.. Ep1ToR-sEyERAL oF THE RE-

TAIL Store keepers Of Honolulu desire through this medium to
lay before the public what they consider as a GRIEVANCE,
connected with their business. The former Minister Of the In
teuor made it a rule of his Office not to grant a license to keep
a Shipping Office for Seamen to a party who was in any way
interested in 4 store. That is not the case now, and the result
is that sailors are in a manner forced TO deal with the Shipping
Masters for their outfits, at stores set up FOR TIE SEASON
ONLY, and also that if sailors owe any other store they do not
pay such debts, their advance going through the hands of the
shipping Master, who can advise them that they are not
obliged to pay any debts but such as they have been induced to
contract with him. This is not fair, either for US or the seaman
In allowing this state OF things, government is not doing the
square thing with Us who are regular traders and keep our
stocks throughout the year, in the dull season, while these
mushroom Shipping Masters slop-shops are not to be seen. If
It is right that Shipping Masters shall also keep o~ut-ftting stores
for seamen, then put the license of Shipping Masters up at
auction, so that all may have an equal chance. Signed by a
number Of RETAILERS.

suit. To avoid these evils, desks should
be so constructed that when the pupil is
seated the shoulders should be even, the
spine strag ht, the head balanced ON the
top of the spine, the elbows on level

surd, unanatomical notion that straight
spines can be insured by making children
sit up straight without support for the

A Remarkable Man Coming.

Mr. JOSEPH ARCH is coming to the
United States. Of course he is. 1t was
all very well to engage his services for
the benefit of Canada, in the hope that
his powers Of oratory would convince the
intending immigrant that it is better to
serve under the British flag than to be a
sovereign under the stars and stripes
but Joseph Arch is shrewd, long headed
man, the best type of the public agitator,
in no sense a demagOgue, and devoted to
set purpose. He has announced, in a
speech delivered at Newbury, July IS,
that he not only intends to do -
the United States, but that he means to
come soon-probably in August-and "to
traverse the country from one end to the
other" Moreover, he declares that if he
finds America lis the true home of the
WOrkingman, where the son Of the poor
man can sit down by the children Of the
rich, write on the same slate and read
out of die same book, and where he
can have full electoral power, he Will
stand on her shores until he has
drained the laboring serfs out of En-
gland, IN order that they may settle in
the fruitful field Of America. with its
ninety millions OF acres vet mtiilcd,' and
he viii Go this "untii ali tBe farmers OF
England are made to bite the dust, if they
refuse to treat their iaborcrs like men"
This is plain speech, and il : far,her
supplemented by Il declaration that Mr..
Arch hopes within q twelve month 80
make The farmers Of England know Tie
worth Of man" On the whole, it is not
surprising that The land owners OF England
don't like Joseph Arch He Is a verita-
Ole lion IN their path, and his strength
lies in the moderate course he ~agaciously
follows. He does not storm nor lecr but
goes steadily toward the point he has de-
tcrmined To reach, and his GOODNESS and
courage are not less marked than his sin
glcness OF purpose and his personal force.
There will be no lack of welcome for him
here, for although, as he says himself, he
is only an agricultural laborer." think
crs and statesmen can learn something
from him.-Neto York C0DmercinJ

Causes of Short Sight.

a RECENT paper by DR.. Liebreich
throws light upon the origin of this de-
fect. He demonstrates that the two evils
OF permanent short sight and curvature
OF the spine, both so much more frequent
among the educated than the uneducated
classes OF society, are developed by the
unnatural posture usually enforced in
schools During childhood the eve pos
sesses great power of accommodating
itself to distance, and if in reading and
writing the desks are so arranged that the
eye, instead Of being twelve or fifteen
inches distant, is kept at seven or eight
inches from the book or paper, the eye
adapts itself to the near object, and per
manent short sight is the result More
over, as the pre-disposition to the disease
is hereditary, short sight is constantly on
the increase in highly civilized countries.
The bad posture adopted at writing desks
is also the chief cause of lateral curva-
ture OF the spine. In extreme cases, SAYS
Or. LIebrelch, the copv-book is pushed
forward, so that its lower border is inclin
ed at an angle of forty-five degrees with
the edge of the table The head is low
cred and SO much twisted that the left eve
IS only a few inches distant from the book :;
the lett cheek almost touches the left
hand, or even leans upon it; the ribs ofthe
lett side are pressed against the edge
OF the desk, and the taller children slip
backward on the forlos so that
only the lower part of the thighs rest on
the narrow bench. In many schools the
pupils maintain this unnatural position
for several hours daily, until at last the
muscles are overtired, and permanent dis
tortlon OF the spine is the inevitable re

Management of Trees, Grass and
Flowers.

VEGETATION is the life of ones land.
Every pound of heritage removed de
prives the soil of a given amount of
fertility. Hence weeds and grass should
be saved. A great many persons scatter
the grass from their lawns and the weeds
from their gardens in the highway, which
is bad horticulture in many respects If
they would spread such grass and weeds
around their growing flowers or around
any garden vegetable, the mulch would
save the labor of carrying many hogs
heads Of water to supply the plants with
the necessary moisture, and the covering
would keep the weeds down and save vast
deal of manual labor, and the crops would
be heavier. When the soil appears nearly
dry to the touch, the roots cannot possibly
derive the needed supply Of water to
keep the leaves and branches from injury
during the rapid evaporation which is go
ing on night and day. When the atmos-
phere is as dry and hot as the air in ii huge
lumber kiln, it will have the moisture in
every tree and plant and the moisture of
our bodies, even eff it (the hot air. has
to take it (the moisturel out of the hide
Hence we must drink, and the roots of
he trees and plants must be supplied
with water or they wither and die. If
lreeS standing IN grass ground are Watered
the surface around about the body for
three or four feet IN each direction should
be covered with mulch Of some sort to re
tard evaporation. It will be labor lost to
water trees on the lawn without exercising
this precautlon,, as the water Will disap-
pear before hundredth part OF 1t has
reached the roots, Straw, hay, lawn grass,
weeds, shavings OF tan bark will make an
excellent mulch. Spread the mulch three
or tour inches deep, pour two or three
Pailsiul OF water around each tree, ana
the water Will permeate the entire soil,
keep 1t damp, and supply the moisture
which the tree must have or die. If the

Moral Courage in Everyday Life.

"MORAL COURAGE" was printed in
large letters and put as the caption of the
following items, and placed in a conspicu-
Gus place on the door of a systematic
merchant in New York for a constant
reference:
Have the courage to discharge debt
while you have the money in your
pocket.
Have the courage to do without that
which you do not need, however much
your eyes may covet it.
Have the courage to speak your mind
when it is necessary that you should do
so, and hold your tongue when it is pru-
dent you should do SO.
Have the courage to speak to friend
in "a "seedy" coat, even though you are
in company with rich one, and richly
alfred
Have the courage to own you are poor,
and thus disarm poverty OF ITS sharpest
sting.
Have the courage to tell aman why you
refuse to credit him.
Have the courage to tell man why you
will not lend him your money.
Have the courage to cut the most agree
able acquaintance you have when you are
convinced that he lacks principle; a
friend should bear with friends intirmi-
ties, but not with his vices.
Have the courage to show your re-
spect for honesty, in whatever guise it
appears, and your contempt for dishon-
esty and dupiicity by whomsoever exhib-
tied
Have the courage to wear your old
clothes until you can pay for new ones.
Have the courage to prefer comfort and
propriety to fashion, in all things
Have the courage 10 acknowledge your
ignorance, rather than to seek for knowl-
edge under false prctenses.
Have the courage, in providing an en-
tertainment for your friends, not to ex-
coed your means.
Have the courage to insure the property
in your possession, and thereby pay your
debts in fun.
Have the courage to obey your Maker
at the risk of being ridiculed by man.

/ Bad Scare.

TRAVELLING in his buggy alone not long

one of our good brethren in the Presby-
terry of Memphis overlook Il foot traveller
with his CaTpet-bag in his hand. The
roads were muddy, and he was Just at the
time about entering a miry bottom. With
the politcness for which he is noted, he
asked the pedestrian Tan entire stranger)
II he would not take a seat in the buggy,
until, at least they had crossed the mud
and the mire. The invitation was readily
accepted, and the conversation for time
was free and easy, about things ordinary
and general. Presently, however. the
good brother, witt a view to make the con
Versation profitable, asked the stranger If
he ecdS Teddy to die. Not knowing the
character OF the person who had invited
him to seat with him, and misappre
hending his meaning and suspecting foul
play, he waited not to reply, but sprang
from the buggy Immediately, and ran for
life through slush and water The Cleri.
cal brother, wishing to assure the stranger
that he meant no harm, called to him at
the top Of his voice to stop. But this
only fastened his speed, and like scared
hare, he ran until beyond hearing and
sight In his hasty flight he left his car
pet-sack, which our brother now has in
his possession, being the richer for his
taithtulness by the addition of a coarse
shirt, pair Of threadbare trousers and q
