CLEANLINESS OF SINKS One of the most
prolific causes of deflemeut and offensive
odors in kitchen sinks and their outlets is the
presence of decaying grease. This comes
from the emptyings of kettles in which meat
has been cooked in the dish water and in
the soap The grease lodges in every crew
ice and catches at every obstruction. rem
edy may be found in the use of the common
alkalies instead of soap, aqua ammonia in
washing clothes, and boraX in washing lawns
and laces, and washing soda in cleaning
dishes These alkalies prevent a solid soap
from forming in the sink and its pipes and
neutralize all effects Of decomposing fat

ton Of barn yard manure Of the average

far from 10 pounds Of potash. These three
substances are the ones OF greatest fertlizing
worth, and for them the manure il cared for
and applied to the land. II is not said that
the rest, and great bulk OF the ton, is Of no
use, but the manure would be Of no great
value without these. Harris, in his Talks on

A Michigan farmer gives the following

that she would work when she felt like IL.
When she did not feel like it, strings were
tied around her ears. sand put in her mouth
oats held temptiugly before her, and a -
cent carriage whip shook menacipgly about
her, but to 10 avail aud the habit continually
grew worse. In time of great perplexity to
get some mllet into the barn before an APP
preaching shower, work came to "A stand still,
and the load Of hay stood with it. thought
of binder and taking a heavy wooden
cloth about - inches square, tied a cord 70
each corner, and drawing it closely over her
eyes, secured the four corners to the bride.
The cure was magical. l left it on all day
and no more trouble ensued The little
hood was rolled up in as small q compass RI
possible aud tied to the harness and when

quickly put in place and the work goes on
Soon she came to know what it was for, and

From reports made by G. " Riley, Euto-
mologist of the Department of Agriculture,
it appears that Kerosene oil is a valuable
agent for the destruction OF insects ininiical

implication should equally affect other forms
of insect life destructive to vegetation

In among the bearded barley,
In among the rustllnp rye,
Tolls the reaper, late aud carly,
while the summer hours go by.
Bending over swath and wiudrow,
Gathering, binding golden shcaveH,
over all his honest labor
Heavenly benediction breathes.
Renping, relpng, toilup, toiling,
Underneath the burning sun;
Flowing, sowing IN the springtime,
Rraping ere the whole is done.
This for bread, aud bread for living,
And the living g. for DEATH
Aud the death for life immortal
But the Reaper draws his breath.
Hard above the whetted sickle,
Thinking, as he cuts the grain,
Little Of the endless circle

In never-euding chain,
Follow still, and still awaking
Breaks the winter night again.

very little growth and bear only very light
crops of small, imperfect fruit. and yet the

OUR Wednesday cotemporary reiterates
the statement about the apology demanded
by the French Commissioners and French
Naval Commander in respect to some COM
plant about precedence at the Court
Dinner in the Palace on the 14th uItimo.
Now there is a wide difference between de-
manding an apology fer an anquestioned
affront, and the request for an explanation
replication about a matter that has taken
place. In this case, all thought of attribh-
ting any Intentional affront to a membe
of the Government is distinctly disclained.
1t was an explanation, in respect to certain
arrangements, that was requested, aud the
explanation accepted as satisfactory. We,
are happy to say that Captain Chateau
minois, OH the eve of his departure, ex-
pressed very warmly and cordially tn the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, his entire salts
faction with the reception accorded to him-
self and officers by His Majesty; that the
attention shown him during the festivities
of the Coronation, and on other occasions
during his stay in port, were in the highest
degree appreciated. Our Contemporary is
hard pressed for matter to present in oppo-
sition, when it takes up this subject. In
deed, we are we'll assured that the Minister
of Foreign Affairs had no more to do with
and knew no more of the arrangements of
the COur Dinner than our otemporary 90

WI will ask our readers, after a peru
sal of the article below, entitled "Le-
prosy in Hawaii" if anything more
damaging to the interests of the coun-
try could be devised, than the state
ments which have prompted and in
spired such an article. If they were
absolutely true, and we had to deplore
a frightful situation, we would have
reason to execrate the disseminators of
such miscellaneous information. But they
are not true. The article of the San
Francisco Chronicle prompted, as it
states, by our experienced papers" is a
presentation of falsehood and gross ex-
aggeration. This "bird of a feather" with
our dirty contemporaries says: "The
Hapaiiam Gazette an old established
paper, is filled with accounts of its
Qeprosy's) rapid spread, and the mac
ton of the Government in the pre-
misses" We wish to inform our San
Francisco contemporary that the editor
of the Gazette, who is now agitating SO
fiercely the subject of leprosy, was the
same editor during six months of
1882, when a friend of his, W. N.
Armstrong, was President of the Board
of Health, during all that period, during
the whole term of Office of his chum and
boon companion, not a single leper was
removed to the Molokai Leper Settle
ment, and not n was removed from
the Branch Probationary Hospital near
Honolulu to the settlement on Molokai,
and there was not ono line of discus
sion on the subject by the editor of
this "old-established paper" But the
day that the editor and proprietor ola
much older established paper became
President of the Board of Health, the
bowler of the Gazette, who was hired,
and is still subsidized by a clique to
carry on abuse and nothing more,
began to howl about leprosy. Since
Mr.. Gibson has been at the head of the
Board of Health, now about nine months,
there has been brought into the branch
hospital at Fisherman's Point 127 cases
of leper patients or suspected lepers,
and there has been drafted from this
branch hospital Ill leper patients, in
Guiding the draft to be sent off on Satur-
day, and which would have been sent
two weeks ago if weather permitted, pro-
nounced incurable by the Medical Com
mittee of the Board. This statement of
action by the present health authorities
In respect to leprosy will contrast
strongly with the statement of facts we
have mentioned in regard to the mac
ton OF the late Board Of Health, and will
show which Government organ has been
trying to "hide the CHASTITY secret" The
present editor OF the Gazette never
opened his mouth while his chum was IN
ONCE when leprosy Tas as rife and as
dangerous as it is now. But here, we

The Currency.

The currency of the country is one
of our most important questions. We
are III u very loose and d~isorderly state
in respect to currency. We are accus-
toned to accept coins from various coun-
tries of different standard ut certain ar
bitrary rates, not representing their true
and intrinsic value. Such Il state of
things renders the business OF the coun-
try liable to loss, and to financial disor.
der. There should be II sound, uniform
and well-regulated currency. We are
assured hat this matter occupies the
very earnest attention of the Govern
ment, and that it is the purpose of the
Ministry, after II conference with mem
bers of our business community most
experienced in the matter, to take such
measures rs may be advisable for inn
proving the state of our currency.
