Musical Homes Are
Happy Homes.

love-
All yes, Music, Sweet Music, does make II me.
Sweet Home, happier and dearer, and the head
OF a family that i'll these days of culture and pro-
gress does not place a Piano or an organ i'll his
home, depriyes himself and dear ones of u vast
amount of pure and refining enjoyment. Our
Sunny Southland has i'll the past ten years taken
q wonderful stop forward in Musical deN elopment
and the grand question now being sgitat.d i'll her
millions is not ''Shall We buy IN Instrument but
chow and where shall We buy it," And 1t is .
perplexing question, too The papers are now
flooded with flaming adj. refreshments Offering Won
derful bargains OF $lCtO Pianos for 3291, II Stop
Organs for $50. One friend advises this and
another that, and 80 on, until the worried buyer
becomes actually afraid to buy at all, lest he b.
cheated, and SO delay until some unscrupu'ous
travelling agent comes along and scoops him in
with 3 cheap, ''snide'' instrument, which, III the
end, proves q source of notification, rather than
of endowment.

Advice to the Girls About their
Summer Exercise.

Horseback riding is now a very fash
ienable summer recreation. A young
lady should learn TO sit squire upon
The saddle, and TO ride with a hight
hand on the rem she should also learn
TO he Independent OF the 81 rrup-
never to be dependent upoL her foot.
Her hight touch on the mouth OF u
thorough bred controls him better than
aRy force. The modern habit is maze
very short, just to cover the foot. As
all young ladies now wear a neat boat
and paDtaloons under the habit, there is
no fear Of any expose, AMI the terrible
danger of the long habit il avoided
The catching of the habit in a passing
wheel he's led TO dreadful accidents.
No young lady without excellent nerve
should try to ride, as seriousness q
scream, or loss Of self possession is
almost sure to brighten the horse, aud
To lead to accidents. The euro bit, the
pommels, the stirrup, are but adjuncts
to safety; the principle reliance must
be on the riders W self.
Archery, that graceful remnant Of
the fable of Diana, is so far Old the
high-road toward being fashionable that
a meeting of the Grand National Arch
cry Association of the United States
was held lately in Brooklyn, and a
national tournament arranged for the
l4th of July next. There are clubs in
twenty-one States, including California.
The Archery Club meet at the New
York Prospect Park Grounds. Gentle
men shoot at double ends, ladies al
single ends, thirty-siX arrows at sixty
yards. The club has = foundation Of
$1,000, to be raised to $1,000, and five
hundred members.
Walking parties are now amongst
the summer diversions practiced at the
Northern resorts, the White and Green
Mountains, and the smaller sea side re
sorts. There no more healthful thing
for young ladies.
Bathing and swimming Of course
come in atthe sea side places as amongst
the summer privileges. Every woman
should learn to swim. 1t IS a very easy
thing te save ones life after having
learned to swim-an almost impossible
feat IN the water before having learned
that simple accomplishment. At New
port lasl summer a young married pair
went out into deep water in their own
yacht every day, took "a header into
the Atlantic amongst the porpoi>es. and
came up, after a half-hour's swirl,
much refreshed with this tumble into
old Ocean. 1t is suggestive Of all the
beautiful myths with which the water
Loving Greeks surrounded the wave and
"Aphrodite rising from the sea"-this
familiarity with which our modern
Venuses lay their delicate hand on the
name of the s~ea-monster, and tame him
to their will.

The report of the Commissioner of I'm
migration and the criticisms upon it are
| developing some interesting points The
attacks on the report however, so far, do
not seem to be written with the view OF
getting at the truth, but rather in the line
OF personal attack
/ The criticism of the 4drerfiser is nearly
I rs long Is tie report itself. 1t attacks the
/ Commissioner conclusions regarding the
/ Malays, for instance The Adeertiser de
} nounces the Commissioner for not urg-
| ing upon the Hawaiian Government the
desirability of trying so vast field as the
/ Malay archipelago not for laborers merely,
but for an increase Of people in the Haw-
aiian Kingdom"
1 In previous issue the earnest petition
Of the planters of Johore for East Indian
labor is published, and the criticism itself
quotes the opinion of the Singapore press,
that the permission to introduce coolies
Will gladden. the hearts of the planters; if
the Malays can be had, why don't the plant
ers get them? When we find the planters in
the Malay States can get Malay labor,
it viii be quite time for us to send a Com
missioner to Singapore to handle the
subject.
Here is something we don't quite under
stand The Adrerfiser has denounced.
with considerable bitterness, the Commits
sioner as a traitor because he was
alleged to have discouraged immigration
from Germany; because he intimRted to
the immigrants of that country that they
had better move cautiously; and it was
finally declared that this Encouragement
of German immigration was owing to an
alien spirit, which under cover OF Ha
waiian official character, seeks to promote
the alienation of Hawaiian independence !"
Now that is hot blast. Here comes
cold blast; If you bring any more Euro
peans here says the -idcertiser, g it will
increase friction between the racesl to
a degree which would be like placing
the natives between the upper and the
neither millstones of crushing social and
political forces"
Here, in these Islands," says the Id
rcrtiscr, +" another aud unnatural race lJs (the
European) has ben substituted and it is
proposed by the Commissioner in order
to preserve the race existence of the Ha-
waiians that there shall be an increase of
stocks, that must tend not 70 protect but to OBJ
liferst> The aboriginal rare eristerce."
The Commissioner proposition is de
nounced- Wei, he was branded as
= traitor for his supposed discourage
ment of European immigration; now, he is
denounced bscause he advocates the immi-
grafton of European races which the
-Idrertissr calls an = unnatural race life"
II the Commissioner had used those
words of the .4drertiser; had said to the
Germans, +" 1 discourage your immigra-
ton because we have already an .un-
natural race life of Europeans in the
Kingdom" would he not have been
branded not only as a traitor, but with
other tender epithets as welll

An experiment in forest culture might
certainly be made here; the government
now have the upper part OF Nuuanu valley
entirely under their control; although
much good viii come of even letting nature
have its way, why not add art to nature and
attend TO the forestry OF the valley upon
scientific principles: as we pointed out
some timo ago, If a private plantation can
afford to employ forester, certainly the
government can; the expense would not
be so very great, and the gain would DO
immenSe-not only would such an officer
look after the trees indigenous to the Is
lands, but many other valuable woods
might be added TO our forest productions;
as far as we know there is no reason why
at certain attitudes, chinchona. ebony and
teak should not be grown - but putting
this view aside. at least the experiment of
careful planting. wedding and clearing
might be made in Nuuanu valley; what
ever the actual success in forest growing
might be there is no doubt that the water
supply would be much benefited. All who
understand anything Of forestry urge the
necessity of every country having forest
couServancy department, or rs the report
which we have under review says, "the
adoption of known rules, whereby the
forest land, which is at present lying com
paratiyely waste, may be fully and eff
eiently utilized for the public good" There
are many people here, who have given
considerable attention to this subject and

The "opinion Of the Attorney General.
published last Saturday, relative to the
laws of election opens up very serious
subject. IL men can only be legally
elected when the Justice, Tax Collector
and School Superintendent are present
as Inspectors, then not only cannot two
polling places be opened in the many dis
tricts, source of great Inconvenience to
large class of voters, but several mem
bers of the Legislatures OF the past have
been Illegally elected, and as conse-
quence the votes they have east are worth
less. and any measure which has been car
NED by those votes is worthless too. Only
last week we were writing about ~loose
ends, " and here we have not only " loose
end, but actually whole coil of rope
living loose, coil of such character that
it may prove very awkward thing to trip
over. No wonder the Attorney General
says that the attention of the Legislature
will be called to this defect However, it
is not to this one defect that the attention
OF the Legislature should be called. Tho
whole Civil Code needs revision; to patch
up one provision is very like plugging up
hole in the bottom of leaky beat, and
then putting out into the water, without
giving her thorough overhauling the
chances are ten to one, that she will spring
another leak before she has got many
yards away from the shore. Attention
enough has been called to the necessity of
revising the Code on some systematic plan,
and we trust shat the government will
mature plan for doing SO, and present it
to the next Legislature. There is nothing
so harassing TO those in power, so cramp-
ing to their more extended efforts than
this constant necessity of stopping leaks;
it is the ruin of the policy of good Min
lister. and yet it has been n rock on which
many Minister has been shipwrecked.
