SAD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of those terrible accl
dents of which we so often hear and read as oc'
curing in other countries. the result of careless
ness in the use of kerosene. occurred last Satur-
day night at Ukumehame, in the District of La
haina, Maui. a young girl was engaged in iron.
ing her wedding dress, Cher marriage being fixed
for the following day. and in some manner upset
a lighted lamp, filed with kerosene. She was In
stantly enveloped in flames, and so terribly burn
ed that her death. which speedily occurred, came
as a blessed release from her suGerings. The peo-
pie in the house where so frightened that they all
ran outdoors, instead of rendering assistance to
the unfortunate girl.
We hear of another case of ~culpable careless
ness which resulted in the burning down OF a
straw house just beyond the Pail, last Monday
night. This also resulted from u~psetting a lamp
one OF the old-fashiOned tin lamps, safe enough
for burning the oils formerly in use, but totally
unfit for of kerosene. with which 1t
was filed on the occasion spoken of.
PRAIsEwoRTHY.-The banking firm of Bishop s.
Co. have moved into their new building this week,
and have inaugurated the change by a most praise
worthy and sensible departure from the usual routine
upon such occasions. Instead of a { SPREAD for
the public, generally, as a house they
placed the money where it will be likely to do much
more good, viz: by sending a check to the different
benevolent and charitable societies of the city. The
structure erected by Bishop s. Co. is, beyond contro-
versy, the finest brick building ever erected in this
kingdom, and would be considered an ornament to
the street in any city. The corner of Merchant and
Kaahumanu streets presents quite a different appear
ance from what it did in the days of " Billy
French, - thirty years ago.
BROOK TRoUT.-By the City Of Sydney there was
received some IL 900 eggs of the native California
Brook Trout, to be placed in the streams of Eva
and Waialua. by the importers, Gov. Dominis and
Mr.. a. W. Bush. Previous experiments in this
line by the same gentlemen have been successful.
some Of their trout at Waipahu eleven months old
being five inches in length. We beg to suggest
that the Legislature might with great %propriety
remunerate these public spirited gentlemen for
their outlay in this matter.
THE band will not play this afternoon in Emma
Square, on account of the absence of some of the
members with the Amateur Minstrels at Waikiki.

FROM KAU, HAwAu.-A correspondent writing
from the District of Kau. under date of the 18th
says Il noticed in last weeks ADVERTISER a
statement to the effect that there are several cases
of leprosy in Honolulu and vicinity. However
that may be, it is established beyond a doubt that
there are a number of cases in this district. They
Mi1gle freely with their friends and relations and
little attention seems to be paid to them by any
one. , The new mill at Waiohinu is not
fairly started yet, end will not be for some weeks
to come. 1t has been IQp once or twice. and some
of the cane has yielded astonishing results. w.
T.. Martin from a quarter of an acre got two and
= half tons of No. 1 sugar. besides Nos. 2 end 8.
All that has been taken off yet has given 2 very
large percentage. We have had considerable
rain lately, ana the principal trouble is conse-
quently over, for a time-people hereabout were
beginning to look awfully blue"

FROZEN KINDNEss.-Thisw world is full
Of kindness that never was spoken, and
that is not much better than no kindness
at all. The fuel in the stove Is what makes
the room warm, but there are great piles
of fallen trees lying on the hillside where
no one can get them-These no not make
anybody warm. You might freeze to death
for want of wood in plain sight of all these
fallen trees if you had no means of getting
the wood home and making fire with it.
just so in family; love is just what makes
parents and children, and brothers and
sisters happy, but if they take care to new
er say word about it-if they keep it a
profound secret, as if it were crime
they will not be much happier than if there
was not any love among them; the house
will seem cold even in the summer, aud if
you live there you will envy the poor dog
when anybody calls him ''poor fellow

WILLING TO BE IDLE.-It is a calamity
when able-bodied men are willing to be
idle, and live on the bounty of others. 1t
is Unfair to those who have to support
them, and it is great damage to them
selves. 1t belittles man to live upon his
friends. It destroys ones self-respect, and
when one has ceased to respect himself he
can hardly expect others to respect him.
1t has been said that four-fifths of man
kind are supported by the other fifth, and
it is probable that one-half of the Deepen
dent four-ffths are as competent, physi.
cally, to earn their own living as those who
sustain them.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

HINTS ON HoUsEKEEPING.-On the
commencement of April the wife's duties
increase in anticipation, for preparations
must be made for house cleaning and
when that comes, every closet drawer,
corner. piece-bag, etc., must be ransacked,
| overlooked and cleared up for the coming
summer. Carpets must be taken up and
shaken, beds we'll beaten and bedsteads
| washed with strong brine to destroy all
insects, etc. Tea leaves, after using, if
| saved for week or so, steep in bucket
or pan of water for half an hour, strain
through sieve, and use the tea or tea
water to wash all vanished paint. It re-
quires very little rubbing, as the tea acts
as strong detergent, cleansing the paint
from its impurities and making the var
nsh shine again; it also cleanses window
sashes and oil cloths-indeed, any var
nished surface is improved by it's applica-
ciOn. 1t washes windoW-paneS and mir
rors much better than soap or water, and
is excellent for. cleansing TACK walnut pic
ture and looking glass frames. 1t will not
do to wash unvarnished paints with it:
Whiting is unequalled for cleansing white
paint. Take small quantity of whiting
on damp flannel, rub Tightly over the
surface, and the effect will be surprising.
Wall papers are readily cleansed by tying
soft cloth over broom and sweeping
down the walls carefully, then followed
with light rubbing Of stale bread. The
dust and ashes of stoves, CRATES and fur
naces are deposited in every crack and
crevice of our rooms and require yigilant
and active treatment for their removal.
Carpets absorb great quantities of them.
Those who can afford it should use mat
ting during the summer, it is cleaner and
cooler; or even an entirely bare floor is
most agreeable in hot weather, and thus
three months wear and tear may be saved.
Old feather eds, pillows and holsters are
greatly improved by putting them on
green grass plot and beating them
thoroughly for an hour or so with L ng
pliable sticks or canes, turning them on
every side.

WHY WOMEN SHOULD READ.-Laying
aside the thought of our own rest and COM
fort, let us look little higher. For the
children's sake ice must make the
most of ourselves. Many an unselfsh
mother has said, "Oh, I cannot
take all this time, there are so many
things to do for the children" She does
not realize that she may do more for them
in the end by cultivating herself than if
she spends all her time on clothes and
cooking. A generosity which makes the
recipient weak or selfish is not blessing
but curse. Have you not seen grown-up
sons who snubbed their mothers opinions
in the same breath with which they called
her to bring their slippers? The meek lit
tie woman has ''trotted around' to wait on
them so long that they have come to think
that that is all she is good for. Their sis
ters keep ''Ma" in the background be-
cause 'she hasn't a bit of style" and is $50
uncultivated. forgetting that she has
always worn shabby clothes that they might
wear fine ones that her hands have be-
come hOrney with hard work that theirs
might be kept soft and white for the piano.
and that she has denied herself books and
leisure that they might have both. And
there are other children, too noble for such
base ingratitude, who feel keen though
secret sense of loss as they kiss the dear
withered cheek and think how much more
of woman ''mother" might have been if
she had not shut herself away from the
culture and sweet companionship of books.

Seven whole days! Why, in six, you know
You said it yourself-you to me so,)

How can wait fer my seeds to grown
