lis, Bishop o. Honolulu. Sandwich Islands, preached
yesterday, both morning and afternoon. In the af-
ternoon he spoke upon the progress OF the Chrs
religion among tie Sandwich Islanders. He close
as his text Isaiah vi 8: And he said, Go and tell
this people" After comparing the Hawaiian ISL
ands to those famous III religious history as the
starting pons of evangelism, he gave brief sum
mary of the religions beliefs of the natives
in the ancient times. He found much
analogy between their record of the crea-
tion and the Mosaic account. and emphasized their
kindly feeling to foreigners. He said: The Hawai-
ian Islands serve as stepplng-StOnes between East
ern and Western CIVILIZATION They becoming
rapidly cOlonizcd by Monaghan Immigrants who

is 10 600. The Anglican Church at Hawaii is an
ofishoOt of the English communion and was founded
bV kaInehameha ". IN 1862. 1t was at first under
the direction of Blshop Thomas n. Staley
under whose supervision the Book of
C0mmon-Praycr was translated into the
Hawaiian language. The work of the missionaries
dates from $40. The Roman Catholic Church was
founded i'm 1899 and numbers among its members
as many rs the COngregatOnalists. The work Of the
church now extends over four of the islands, anI
there are nine churches and rectors five priests and
one at Waluku on Mani. one on Hawaii.
and one on Kanal. There are several
schools established on each OF the Islands under
the direction of the Society Of the Holy Trinity and
houses are provided for the education of Hawaiian
and half-white girls. The Hawaiian people are all
Christians. They number 10000, which with
10000 foreigners make population OF 90 900 per-

How to set Your new House.

The question has been asked
Why is it that in placing house or
laying out town or city the street
lines or house walls are usually
mado to conform to the cardinal
points of the compass2 Another
method Is suggested which, from q
sanitary point OF view, has several
reasons in its favor. If house walls
were arranged in a direction diago-
nal TO the customary plan, so that
walls that now run north, south,
east and west would run north " est,
outh-west, northeast and south
cast respectively, the sun would
shine on two sides OF the housv all
day, instead OF bllstering the south
side, while the corresponding wall
to the north remains in the shade
and permanently damp. At noon,
according to tho new plan, a corner
OF the house would be presented
towards the sun instead OF side,
so that the violence OF the heat
would strike in slanting direction
on two sides at once, and, therefore,
with diminished force. The diago-
nal plan of arrangement would lesan
en- the force OF the prevailing north
winds in the same way, so that ex-
tremes OF heat and cold would be
less felt, while the sunlight would
reach every quarter of the house
during the day. A new town plan
med according to the diagonal
method would possess novel ad-
vantage, having one side of every
street shady during the heat Of the
day.
