SOCIABILITY.
Mr.. CRUzAN's LEcrURE-RooM Talk. WI

Nh. CRUzANs LECTURE-RooM TALK, WE'D
NEsDAY EVENING, MAY 9TH.
An American lady, of national reputation as
an author, pertinently asks, IF Christianity
does not make q man a gentleman what is it good
for Pr True, for the ideal gentleman is genial,
kind, approachable, unselfsh- in "a word
= social" He has true friends. He is a true
friend. Such we ought all to be.
Fello Sship with men is almost as necessary
as fellowship with God. One of the most dis
tinguished traits of the character of Christ was
HIS genial, winning, approachability. How the
people thronged about Him How He entered
into the life of all classes of people-not a select
few, of congenial spirits, but the poor, the sim
full, the unlovely, the uncongenial found in Him
a helper and friend. He did not content Him
self with preaching at them, He went among
them socially, helpfully. As He was SO we
should be.
ing upon them to use this social power for good
upon all who come within our church
walls. Every Christian ought to strive
to enter into the complicated life of the congre-
CATION. There should be generous thoughtful
ness for others in our worship. In the prayer
meeting, or public worship, when som one
pours out his soul in thanksgiving, or pleading
for the poor, the burdeued. the tempted, we
are apt to appropriate the petition TO ourselves,
or own loved ones, or our particular friends.
Do we remember the widow, who perhaps is sit
ting only two or three seats from us, aud whose
heart is worn by the anxieties OF the weeks
work. Do we think of the parents Rear us who
are filled with shame and trouble because Of way
ward children ? OF the man whom we met Mt
the door, who has a constant battle with mis-
fortune ? Of the young married couple, and
their Joy Of the man who Is battling with old
habits and sins ? Not only should we think of
them, but, better still, do we seek them out, and
put our kindly thoughts into words, and Il hand
grasp ! Many q soul wins a victory by this
added strength which comes from the sympa-
thies of others; many a soul is won to Christ,
and bound with ''lOODS of STEEP to the church
by q cordial Christian welcome and interest.
This sociability ought not to be confined to
the church. 1t ought to be strong enough to
send US into the homes of strangers, and those
who need US. 1t ought to be praetised enough
to bring young men. in our city in shoals with
out homes, within the parlors of your Christian
homes. There is no substitute for home in1u-
ence. Church socials, entertainments, reading
rooms, Y. VI. c. A. Halls, these may all do a
needed work, but 1 should rather have one
hour of a true home, as q helpful saving iniu-
ence upon a young man, than n month of what
these will give him.

Scenes at the immigration Depot.

The Portuguese immigrants as they pass
to and fro or loiter about in the depot, pre-
sent some curious aspects both of indivi-
duality and dress. The men are generally
well built for labor and clothed in rough,
oddly-cut but serviceable material. Most
of the women are strongly formed and
dressed in unornamental, but convenient,
costumes. Some of them, however, are
quite delicate and not n few are really
handsome. Several of the younger females
also make some pretensions to fashionable
dress and certainly look very neat. The
children are very sprightly and keep their
eyes wide open, and their ears alert, to see
and hear all hat transpires. All of the
immigrants, both old and young, may be
seen at best advantage about noon when
lunch is served to them. Then they sit
about their respective cottages in pictur-
esque groups and eat with an eagerness
that surely indicates a splendid appetite.
BY and by as they begin to finish their
meals, each seeks a comfortable position
either half reclining or sometimes even
wholly street, he'd out upon a mat or blanket
in the shade, for a sort of after-dinner rest
which all seem to enjoy thoroughly. Yet
during this interval of reposing quiet, the
immigrants are not stupid or slug lish,
but they keep up a vivaciouS conversation
in reference to their bright hopes for the
future, the incidents of their voyage, or
friend and acquaintance left behind whom
they wish again and again the best Of good
fortune

Post-office Matters.

We have received a communication which
properly mailed-through the carelessness of
private messengers, and not from any fault of
the post-ofices. Our correspondent says
There have been several articles published
lately about missing or lost letters. Now, the
fault in many cases lies with those who mail
their letters, and not with the post-ofices.
Some persons living but a short distance from
post-offices seldom send their letters to the
offices, but hail the mail carrier as he is passing
and hand them to him. He takes them in an
open bag to the next office where they are
mailed. Others send their letters-which some
times amount perhaps, to ffty-in an old -four
bag entrusted to a Chinaman or native who
does not go to the post-ofice but ckases the
mail carrier as he passes, and If he overtakes
him before he gets to the next station he dumps
the letters on the ground without their even being
tied up in a bundle, and the mail carrier has 10
dismount from his mule and pick up the scat
tered letters and put them into his open bag, to
take on to the next office.
Now il is easy to see how, in such cases as
this, when the wind is blowing a stiff gale letters
may be scattered and lost, and angry complaints
and curses uttered. Cases of this kind happen
frequently on some of the mail routes, and the
facts are known to every one. Just as long as
this practice is allowed-ofh handing loose letters
to mail carriers, when the senders are within a
reasonable distance of a post-otfice, letters, too,
which may contain valuables-it must be expect
ed that occasionally one will be lost, and picked
up by some one bigger than a small boy and
not quite so honest as some are. If people
living in the rural districts wish their letters
carried safely, they have only to deposit them at
a regular post-othce where there Is but little
chance of their being lost. When this is not
done, persons must run their own risk

Fruit Drying.

The drying Of fruit for preservation has
been practiced for more years than we TOt
OF, presumably from the time when some
antediluvian discovered that the figs, dates
and grapes growing about him when dried
by the sun were palatable and nutritious.
From the earliest TINS III Arabii. Egypt
and Asia some varieties of fruits dried in
the sun form n staple article of food i'm the
New World artificial beat is utilized to
drive off the moisture, not only from fruits,
but very many kinds Of vegetables.
In days gone by OH these Islands thrifty
housewives annually prepared bananas aud
figs by SURVEYING them, and ma v AN old
time scholar at Punahou College has had
PACKAGES of bananas nicely sliced and then
dried. or figs, cOmpacted together, sent
from his home, with which to- fill up the
often weary intervals be ween meals.
Now the Alden" process of drying fruits
and vegetables comes to- the front, uni u
company has commenced the work of pre-
pairing our native fruits in this manner Tor
The market. Chief amongst the fruits that
may be prepared in this ma:iner are
bananas. This delicious frui., when prop
erly dried, preserves its flavor aud sweet
ness. aud. moreover, presents "A very at
tractive appearance. Figs and grapes, too,
are easily and quickly prepared. so that
they are very palatable and lasting.
Amongst the vegetables that could he
prepared for export the sweet potato c aims
our attention. IL Is said that when des-
sicated this vegetable takes a very high
rank amongst canned" products, a large
amount Of nutriment being packed ia a
very small compass. IL belIoves us to
utilize all the resources Of the country, in
order that we be able to offer Inducements
to a good class of immigrants to make their
homes here, and the industry We have men
toned bids fair to afford employment to
many.

A Dangerous Practice.
Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers 70 witker.'

And nOWers 70 witEer.
SO wrote Mrs. Hemans many years ago.
The statement made is correct as applied to
the temperate regions with which the gift
eel lady was familiar, but if she Were now
residing III Honolulu she would probably
have noticed that the leaves fall here at all
times and thicker than those of Nallam-
brOsa. And II nuisance they are too, in
the sense that they make what Mrs. He
mans herself would probably call a ''mess."
They fall in showers, and the larger ones
especially, cover up the grass, depriving it
OF the sunlight, bleaching II out, or causing
il to waste away and die. Though swept
up in the early morning a new suppl is
dropped during the day., and the task of
cleaning them away l. endless. The dan
gerOus practice in connection with their
disposal il the destroying of them 10y fire.
Daily we see-aud smell-the smoke from
heaps of leaves piled in the road or yards,
and we know that after they have burned
firece Y for Il short time they will smon!ier
for days
We say nothing of the smoke itself
or its odor being =! agreeable though
we lave known of the latter making
sOme delicate organizations sickl, but
il is the danger from the fire that
we would ask people To guard against.
No one should burn the leaves. The best
way to- dispose of them is - bury them. 4
good sized ho G should be dug into which
they should be thrown, and covered over.
II may be said that the hole would be I'M
slightly. 1t might be-probably as much
SD as one prepared for the planting out of a
young tree or shrub, not more sO-but the
leaves and litter would be removed without
the TisS attending the burning of them,
and the soil would be enriched TO an aston
Ishing degree.

The Coming Summer.

There is every reason for believing that
we are To have an exceptionally warm Inc
it may be-dry summer. The spring sea-
son, about ending has been marked by an
with Gains and itful winds. The rainfall
i'm and around Honolulu has been lighter
than usual, and in the mountains back of
the town the amount Of precipitation has
not been up to the average of former years.
The supply of water available for use in
town is comparatively small, and the
Superintendent of Water Works has been
obliged to shorten the hours OF irrigation as
a precautionary measure.
The signs of the times are such that We
consider ourselves warranted in calling u
OH our fellnw-residents in Honolulu to pre-
pare for q hot dry summer with its accom-
