KING KALAKACA AND AyyEXA
TON.

Our dispatches to-day report a ru-
NOR current that King kalakaua's
visit to Washington has more sigpif.
cance than is attached to 4 mere royal
visit OF pleasure and observation; the
opinion prevailing that his dusky
Nighnsss' advent 1t the nations capi.
tai il not disconnected with a project
for the anne xation Of the Hawaiian Is
lands TO the United States. We are in
clined to the belief, however, that if
his visit has any political or diplomatic
significance, it is in relation to the re-
ciprocity treaty, Of which he is doubt
less DESTROYS of effeetiny upon as favor
able terms as possible. However, ad-
vantayeous the annexation Of the Is
lands might be to the United States
Government, We are confident that the
proposition would never emanats from
the islanders themselves, and least OF
all from the man who holds a life posi-
ton as the ruler Of the kingdom which
he must necessarily forfeit if the ru-
morsd negotiations are consummated.
II is hardly reasonable to ielieve that
he would voluntarily give up the adj
vantages and position he now holds
for any that could be given him by the
United States Government. A govern
ship Of the Islands or q seat in the
United States Senate would hardly
present many attractions from his
present standpoint, and We do not be-
iieve he has travelled so far away from
home to make that kind of a trade.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Testing seeds.

Now that spring and the planting
season are approaching, it is often i'm
portant to test the vitality of seeds
before sowing them. We have heard
the following simple and easy method
described: Fill a box, pan or flower
pot partly with rich mellow earth,
make the upper surface perfectly smooth
and on this surface draw straight cross
lines, and drop a seed at each intersec-
ton, SO that they may easily counted
Then take wide hoop or frame, and
make bottom to it with cloth stretch
ed across SO as to resemble a sieve
Place this upon the seed, and fill it with
enough fine mould to form sufficient
covering for the seed. which should
generally be four or five times the
diameter of the seed for the depth.
Keep the soil sufficiently moist and in
a warm place. The sieve can be easily
lifted and the seeds examined without
disturbing them. In this way corn,
wheat, clover seed, t1lrnip seed, and
many other kinds can be easily tested,
which may be of considerable impor-
lance, where the age or freshness of
the seed is not certainly known.
