Prayer Meetings.

What can be done TO render prayer meetings in
teresting? The attendance on prayer meetings is
net what it should be many stay away, and they
give as q reason that the meetings are not interest
ing. And whose fault is it? The blame GER
tainly should not be wholly laid upon the shoulders
of ministers. Church members have n responsibility
in the matter and they ought to feel it, and to act
up to it. If they have the presence of the Lord
Jesus, the meeting is interesting and they know
the condition on which he is present with them:
lie says, when two or three are gathered together
in my name. there an I in the midst of them To
SO to the prayer meeting in the name of Christ, is
to go in a ~prayerful state of mind, worldly cares
and worldly thoughts all thrown of for the time
being. Those who attend the prayer meetings in
this way. viii not only find it interesting, but they
will make it interesting TO others. Yes, church
members are responsible for the interest and the
proitableness of the prayer meetings and if they
acted up to their responsibility, the ministers would
not feel impelled to occupy half the time themselves.

Plant Trees.

\ correspondent on East Naai writes Is follows:
in HanakuapokU there has latteEIy been rain

haHao i literally drying up. Here as has been
u1-rd else where. the rains come II streaks. per
hais not mere than half q mile wide, The rain

the trees attract the rain CT not, | can't sas !;

there it rains and not beyond. think I can I'M
dsrstand why trees planted on the " great Ameri-
can desert of Nevada and Colorado, will cool
the burning sand, and induce rain-clouds and
thunder, &c., 10 come that way.
I" Planting trees Is certainly an experiment
worth trying. / believe that if government was TO
take hold and establish i system OF tree culture
On each island, with Mr.. Holstein at the head, to
raise young trees at government expense and sell
them 20 parties, at say 10 cents each, with certain
prescribed rules "a 10 The number 10 be planted
each year and per acre. and then allow the csst Of
the trees to be deducted from taxes-it would be
a benefit to the country. Leaving the question Of
rain or drought aside. the woods would be very
valuable"

Letter from Maui.

EAST MAUI, Oct. %, 1876.
The weather is stilI very hot and dry here,
excep, where there are belts Of trees running from
the mountain Stewards. On these rain falls, from o
sprinkle to a shower, almost every night, coming
from Hamakua-lOa by way of Lilikoi to Hamakua-
poko. And if the trees in these belts cause it to
rain Gas some superstitions people suppose) then
the chances are we shall loseit there also, for there
has been q fire in the woods on the Hamakua side
of Haleakala for ten or twelve days past, which is
destroying the timber at q fearful rate. 1t is sup
posed to have been caused by persons hunting wild
turkeys. The sight from the valley at night IS
grand indeed, but If it is going to cause less
moisture from the clouds than We get now, it will
proye rather an expensive display of fireworks.
Years ago, when the cultivation of cane became n
profitable industry, Nature supplied the cattle in
these parts with sufficient grass the year round, so
that they could be worked. But consequent upon
cutting down trees to clear the land and for fuel,
Nature has ceased to supply sufficient moisture to
produce grass, and the owners OF cattle are not
educated up to the practice Of sowing sorghum or
alfalfa to provide feed for their stock, ana the
consequences is that just now when the cattle are
most needed to pillow for winter planting, they are
not able to work, and are dying at the rate OF three
or more q day. Some owners economically have o
couple of natives following the herd all the time to
saw at uAAC5 E
Either alfalfa or sorghum will stand the most
severe drought, and the more it is eaten oil the
better it grows. In the North and West States OF
America they have TO provide feed for STOCK during
i've 10 seven months; this is our winter, and why
not provide feed for our poor dumb beasts?
As the fruit of the cactus ripens, OkoIehdo depre-
fciates in price. 1t started at 81, IS now quoted at
70 cents, and we expect in q week more to be able
TO supply you at four bits q bottle-or less by the
quantity. Whisky in Honolulu is high and we
iaxaiians are not allowed to buy it. But 1t IS
necessary that We should have 1t, and = necessity
knows no Law
The Irrigation Ditch Company is getting on finely.
They have some twenty miles of ditch surveyed. and
several miles dug. When finished it will be some
thirty miles long. and will carry water sufficient to
irriqate two thousand acres Of cane land.

IL Is conceded by all old residelts-those who
have resided in this city for the past twenty or
twenty-five years-that the present season, by
which is understood the last six months, has
been the hottest and most sultry ever experienced
during their long residence here. Nevertheless,
we must acknowledge that the thermometer
during the period mentioned has never marked
above go in our Office, which is the haunt of
the devil during the day-wherever he may
be at highland in comparison with the heat
of New York, Philadelphia and Sacramento, it
cannot be considered as an extraordinary range.
At all events, we don't give place to our
"devil, for we have stood it, and intend to
stand it. But the question comes up-what is
the cause of this unprecedented heat in Homo
lulu, and has the irrepressible coekroach
man anything to do with it? On interviewing
him we are Informed that the absence Of the
forest in Nuuanu valley has a great deal to do
with tile prevalence Of heat in Honolulu, mas
much as according to his theory the winds that
ordinarily sweep through the gap at the pail,
at an atmosphere 0! 5S to GS degrees, when
meeting with the heated air enclosed by the
high mountains of the valley, instead Of creating
mist and rain as in the olden times, amalgamate
with the heat of the valley until the temperature

Mr.. EDIroR II is too bad that our Lawmakers
should show such inter disregard OF the comfort
and necessities of women, as to place any extra tax
on so many Of their requirements. II the Increased
price were for Injuries alone, it would not be OF the
same importance, but when hooks and eyes, buttons
corsets &C., &C., are heavily taxed, it becomes a seri-
ous matter. Certainly the high price Of such things
will not tend to make Hawaiian girls and women
ncater and tidier in their dress than now. II cieans
illness comes next to Godliness, personal neatness
should complete the lovely trio. MATER

ECONOMY OF HEAT IN HOUSES. For
a number of years the writer has used,
for warming three rooms, single heat
ing stove, the heat from which passed
into two drums. One of these drums is
placed in a room adjoining that con-
tanning the stove, and the other is up
stairs in aroom above the second one
For: several weeks experiments have
been made by observations with ther-
mometers, which prove that the inter-
mediate drum, orr that between the
stove and last one, heats the room from
six to twelve degrees hotter, (according
to the wind, than the stove can heat,
though both rooms are of the same size,
and. the drum is somewhat smaller than
the stove. The room up stairs, fully 35
feet distant from the fire, is made quite
comfortable, for sleeping room,
throughout the. entire winter. These
facts are only. stated to, show, what an
immense amount Of caloric is wasted by
our system of heating with stoves, the
pipe from which passes into chimney or
directly into the open air. Fuel, and
consequently expense, is not only saved
by the use of .sheet-iron drums, but the
house is more comfortably and COM
pletely warmed, not only with less fuel,
but with no trouble of making and keep
ing up fires, carrying in wood or coal
and carrying out ashes, and cleaning up
the dirt caused by doing so.- Cor, West
