Going on to Fill says Mr.. BOddam-W beth
am, in his recent book "Pearls Of the Pacific
we find The cotton industry on the Wane, and
are told Of a planter who found ii go unremuncr-
alive that he gave up planting Cotton and took
TO Sweet Potatoes The author casUa Is refers
to Coffee plantations here but gives no p%articu.
lars, and concludes his remarks on Fjian indus
try as follows 1t row rests with England
and the settlers to make CT mar the new colo
ny. With the wonderful productiyeness of its
soil, new enterprises will spring up, and the
natural resources Of Fiji will be largely devel-
oped. With systematic and intelligent %cultiya-
ton, the fertile lands will produce a p~rofusion
of useful articles for the home market and
above all, the motive for industry, with a tcIer-
able chance Of remuneration, will be strength
ened tenfold, in both native and foreigner,
by the knowledge Of q firm and generous
rule just what it is enjoying. Success rests
with the administrator Of that rule Speak
ing Of the capacity for an enlarged commerce,
the author says Coffee, Coc0nuts, Sugar,
Arrowroot, Nutmegs, Sage, Indiarubber, &c,
can be advantageously cultivated and If only
half as much care is taken in Fiji to improve
varieties by culture and selection as is taken
Ia England why-scarcely any steps are yet
taken in this direction, in the w. Indiesl, there
is no reason why ample returns should not
reward the planters. At present the custom
in FIJI seems to be to grow one thing extern
sively and to leave the rest to chance Tas in
the West Indies today, First it was Coffee
Tquerry-COtton q, now it is sugar and good
ness knows what the next mania may be,
should sugar become a drug in the market.
exported products now reach the annual
value of about $4,000, and consist of Cotton,
Beche-de-mer, Cooonuts, Oil, Tortoise shell,
Bananas, Oranges and Maize. With the ex-
oeption of cotton, these products. are all natural
resources, requiring no skill, and In most cases
no cultivation. Decentralization, exclusively,
has in my estimation been the bane of FIJI, just
as the exclusive cultivation of anything must
ever be, no matter where. Thorough and va
ried agriculture is suitable to FIJI, and if it
we're adopted we should no longer hear of
failures and embarrassments when prices sud-
denly fall lin one commodity, or when a
crop LOT any one sortl is destroyed by blight
or otherwise. The true old proverb says,
He is a bad farmer who stands on four
legs when he could stand on FIVE"

former magnitude, and will, indeed, even ex-
coed its greatest yield of previous years, there
IS every reason to believe, though this will,
in all probability, only be accomplished by a
change in the system of manufacture. Hereto
fore the plantations have been very large in
area, and grinding and boiling nave been con-
Quoted by each planter in connection with
Cane-growing. In the future, however, we
believe there will necessarily be more of a
tendency toward the system now p~raotised in
France in the manufacture of Beetroot Sugar.
The plantations will be smaller and more
numerous, and the Cane from many will be
taken to one centrally-Iocat mill, on the
same principle that the butter and cheese fac.
tories are run in this State.''

MISCELLANEOUS S.
from the Europ. IiaaJ.)

DR.. Gooldon, in a recent paper in the Lancet,
recommends nitrate Of lead as a most effective
deodoriser. Bad smells from any cause what.
ever are removed as if by magic by its use. A
pound Of the material, costing less than a shilling,
and in combination with common salt, furnishes
sufficient TO make nearly 400 gallous Of fluid,
30 that.it is also remarkably cheap. To prepare
1t for use, take for ordinary purposes half a
drachm of nitrate of lead, dissolve it in a pint
or. more Of boiling water, dissolve about two
draohms Of common salt in a pail or bucket Of
water, pour the two solutions together and allow
che sediment to settle. A cloth dipped in this
liquid and hung up will sweeten a f9tid otmos-
pbero Immediately.
