THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MRS.
LUCY G. ThURSTON.

nave pCruScU llllS DOOk, llCuIlnS, dS
il does, of the life of the wife of one
of the pioneer missionary band to
these islands. 1t is seldom indeed,
in the early written history of
country that much can be drawn
from authentic documents. Too
often the Importance Of these writ
ten evidences of occurrences is I'M
dcr-cstimatcd, and they arc lost or
destroyed before their value and in
tcrcst becomes felt. Still oftener the
early explorers or settlers of
country have no thought of the re-
cord they are to leave behind them,
and never make any preparation for
the history yet to be written.
With Mrs. Thurston the case was
different. The following extract
from her preface will show what she
has done: ''In the very commence
ment of missionary life, my husband
strongly advised me to preserve a
copy of my letters, and gave me
blank book for the purpose. Thus
| commenced, and under his inilu-
encc, formed a habit of so doing. l
have, by the preserved copies of my
letters, noted in their circuit all the
years OF my pilgrimage"
So that here we have spread be-
fore lis not only the valuable remin-
iscences of q contemporary of the
early years of the introduction of
Christianity into these islands, but
nlso the historic evidence of con-
temporaneous documents.
Mrs. Thurston's book, rs may
naturally be inferred, relates chiefly
to her own experiences, but it also
contains valuable historic data and
illusions in almost every chapter.
1t begins with the record of the
year 1919, in which year Mrs.
Thurston married and came out to
these islands as a missionarys wife.
On the 18th September of that
year her cousin, Wm. Goodell, came
TO her and asked: +" Will Lucy, by
becoming connected with n mission
ary, now an entire stranger, attach
herself to this little band of pill
grims, and visit the far distant land
of Obookiah?" After five days of
consideration she was introduced to
Mr.. Thurston, at her fathers house,
and the following day she accepted
him, and on October 18th they were
married, shortly after setting out
as mcmbers of the pioneer COM
pany of Hawaiian missionaries.
II is not necessary to specify the
discomforts of the voyage out or the
fears which beset them-it sullices
to say that they landed safely and
found the islanders ready to receive q
new religion, having but few
months before destroyed the old
one. The first incident of their
mission was the formation of sew
ing circle, to provide dress for the
Queen Dowager Kalakua.
Shortly afterwards this pioneer
band was separated, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thurston and one other family stay
ing mt Kailua, the others going on to
Honolulu. Now began the domestic
privations and public discomforts
which invariably attach TO those who
leave

Wanted-A Quiet Life.

A nervous-looking man went into
a store the other day and sat down
for half an hour or SO, when the
clerk asked if there were anything
she could do for him. He said no,
he didn't want anything. She went
away, and he sat there half an hour
longer, when the proprietor went to
him and asked if he wanted to be
shown anything. 'No," said the
nervous man, I" just wanted to sit
around. My physician has recon-
lnended perfect quiet for me, and
says above all things I must avoid
being in crowds. Noticing that you
did not advertise in the newspapers,
I thought this would be as quiet a
place as could find, so l just drop
ped in for a few hours of complete
isolation" The merchant picked up
bolt of paper cambria to brain him,
but the man went out. He said all
he wanted was quiet life.-Scot.

A Hint To Gardeners.


1 have had more than twenty
years experiences in amateur garden
ing-mainly utilitarian-have moved
about good deal, and thus have
cultivated many different gardens.
All have been remarkable for their
abundant crops, though I have never
purchased a single load Of manure,
while my neighbours have carried in
ton after ton, and have obtained small
Ter edible crops than mine. 1 do not
even waste the ammonia and agricul-
tural fuel Of my weeds by burning
them, but bury them whole, and
with them the pea-stalks, bean-stalks,
cabbage-stalks, &c., &C. Thus buried,
they undergo during the winter slow
combustion, warm the soil, and sup
ply it with humus, at the same time
giving up their animoniacal salt to
this humus and to the absorbent alu-
nina Of the clay, which supply it in
the summer to the succeeding crops.
These weeds, &c., with the addition
of the vegetable refuse of small
household, and well-burned coal
ashes (i.e., the mineral matter of
fossil vegetation), Ihave found suffl-
Gent to maintain and increase the
fertility of a kitchen garden, an Or
chard covering more than an acre.
At the same time, I see the gardeners
employed by my neighbours wheeling
away barrow-loads of weeds to pitch
them on waste gorund, if any is at
hand, and the dustmen carry away
carloads of vegetable treasures.
Then, on the day following, or
thereabouts, carloads of expensive
and offensive manure are brought to
the same doors from which far better
material was thrown away the day
before. Stable manure and cattle
stall manure are especially valuable
for farm land, simply because they
carry back to the bayfield, and the
oat-ield precisely that which has
been taken away. But the salts re-
moved by garden weeds differ materi-
ally from those contained in hay and
straw litter, or oats and horse beans,
and thus the unsientifie gardener who
uses these requires at least half n ton
to be as effective as one hundred.

OLD FOGY WANTS HARMONY.
Editor Ercbauge.

Editor Exchange:
l do not propose in this communi~
cation to discuss the state debt ques-
ton, for there are so many opinions in
regard to it and how it should be set
tied it would be needless for me to
attempt to give my views on the SUBJ
ject. We have witnessed state of
affairs growing out of this state debt
not desired by any true democrat.
We are divided, and sometimes | fear
alienated to such an extent that we
cannot act harmoniously. | hope |
am mistaken aud the breach is not SO
wide AS | imagine it to be; but, be
that as it may, hope to see spirit
of Cancellation manifested on both
sides. Unless it is done, we may expect
our opponents to take advantage of
our dissensions and ride into office
and power AS they did in our last
State election. Democrats, did you
ever think seriously Of the yoke that
was placed upon you and your poster
ity for ninety and nine years by the
legislature of your state? The 1908
act surrendered the revenues Of your
state into the hands Of those who de-
sire to he youi masters, beyond your
control for ninety.hine years. But
for the decision Of the Supreme Court
a part Of our sovereignty would have
been surrendered, and that without
our consent. Democrat :, recollect
that we barely escaped the slavery in
to which we had been sold by our leg
islature. would emphasize the ex-
preston barely escaped-two judges
being in favor Of riveting the chain of
despotism upon us, and three in favor
of constitutional law and liberty.
Democrats, shall we act unwisely and
have the same, or worse, yoke
placed npon us? There is tendency
to Capitalization in the affairs of our
government, and by what party, you
all know. In republic like ours,
where the people have right to rule,
they should mark the man or party
Twho would attempt to enslave them.
| know, fellow democrats, you have
become distrustful Of many of your
leaders, and in some instances you
have cause to be. Ii they had been
honestly imbued with the true demo>
cratic idea, that ours was govern
ment of the people, your will would
have been reflected i'll our legislature.
Brother democrats, you should take
more interest in our political meetings
than you have done for the past few
years; by doing so you can send whom
you please to the halls of Legisa-
ton, Let us come together in the
spirit of compromise and settle the
state debt question. tennessee is IN
mistakably democratic, and if we do
not carry it overwhelmingly in the
next election it will he attributed
to our divisions. How mnch bet.
ter it would be for US as a people to
be aroused upon some great moral re-
formation than have the state debt
question an open issue, distracting
our people, means in the hands Of
political tricksters to ride into office.
