Again, IT IS well understood that the successful
prosecution Of the Sugar Industry necessitates TIA
expenditure of n certain amount Of capital is not
az all times at the command of men Of moderatu
means, while it is by no means evident that other
industries, equally suitable to our conditions of
sou and climate, require such large capital for
their development. We have seen already in the
north that coffee, tobacco, and some kinds Of tro-
peal fruits have been, and are being, grown sue
cessiully, from commercial and financial point
Of view. In other countries, where sugar forms
the staple produce the attention of agricultural
ISIS mas been directed to the point for which we
contend, and, at the present moment, the class of
product which is attracting the greatest amount
o. aftenhon is that of fbres of various sorts. In
TINS direction Queenslanders are placed in a par
aoulariy favorable position. It has already been
demonstrated practically that various fibre pro-
ducing plants will grow to perfection, especially
IN the more tropical regions of the colony; and
they are also able, without expense, to profit BY the
experience of other countries IN the matter OF the
Dest machinery for rendering marketable the
various valuable fbres which they can grow so
easily and we'll. The only reason why fibre pro-
aucing has not hitherto spread more rapidly in
tropical climates is that adequate machinery has
not been forthcoming for the economical cleaning
OF the nbre. This great desideratum has now been
achieved; and, in various parts Of the world we
nave dlnerent patents now IN use, which have been
proved TO be capable of supplying the hitherto
much felt want

A Dangerous Counterfeit.

The San Francisco Bulletin of the LIST inst,
notices well executed counterfeit of the Ameri-
can 50 gold piece, which has lately made its ap-
poarance in business circles there. As Honolulu
Is soon to be the recipient of large amount Of IS
pieces, 1t IS Just possible that this contraband
article may find its way here. The paper quoted
says: "a very dangerous counterfeit Of the
American fve-dollar piece was recently taken by
the Oliver Chilled Pl0w Company and sent to the
United States Mint in this city for examination
In size and weight and general execution II was a
very close resemblance, much 50 that several
parties in the Coiner's department of the Mint at
hrSt pronounced the coin genuine. The color was
like that of gold coins alloyed with silver The
legend, " In God we Trust ON close examination
was not quite as distinct as on the genuine coin :
in all other respects the die was perfect even TO
the small :" S" for San Francisco under the head
When broken, the coin disclosed the fact that it
was double counterfeit, it having beeu made to
do duty as counterfeit four iastre piece of the
Philippine Islands. Pulling of plating on both
sides, the words Las Iispanas and the devices
OF that coin were distinctly seen. When assayed
it was found that the original piece was of native
platinum. The plating, to raise the weight from
- to %, or TO make the difference between the
Manila and American coin, was an alloy of silver
and copper. This had been eectrotvped or washed
with gold. The whole was so nicely calculated as
to make the specific gravity of gold, and the ring
of the coin was perfect.
The probability is, this coin is bat one of a large
number; that it wis manufactured somewhere
where labor is cheap, say Hongkong that either
from detection or some other cause, quantity of

Health of the Schools.

The examination Of the public schools in the
Honolulu district, connected by DR.. G. w. Parker
Will lit is said be continued by DR.. T. @. Webb
DR.. Parker reports that he has carefully examined
the following schools in Honolulu itself Royal,
Pohukaina, Fort St., Fort st. Roman Catholic,
two schools,) Kawaiahao and Kaumakapil In
all these schools, out of total of rs scholars
only four needed to be removed from school in
order TO undergo medical treatment while two
schools fort st and Pohukaina) had none but
perfectly healthy scholars. He calls attention also
to decrease IN the number of scholars in the
Royal and Pohukaina schools, chiefly in conse-
quence of reluctance to face the previous medical
examination of February and March last; this ex-
animation hes also brought out the pleasing fact
OF marked improvement in the healthy state of
some of the schools

ton should be renewed from time to time, DR..

each page of which is divided into columns for
a distinguishing number, the pupils name age,
sex, nationality vaccination marks, date of certi
cate OF health, name Of certifying physician, and
space for remarks. Moreover, in order to identify
scholar when removed into another class in the
same school or when going from one school to
another, each scholars certificate was marked not
only with distinguishing number but also with
the class in which the scholar happened to be when
registered by DR.. Parker. This check was found
necessary, as some of the scholars presented GER
hhcates belonging to others while one girl was
a1dacous enough TO fill up her own certificate, BY
mistake, however, writing her teachers name in
stead of the name of n Dlysician.

Fibre Culture.


The attention Of sugar planters in Queensland
is being drawn to the necessity Of their sup
plementing the cultivation Of cane, BY that Of
fibre. This agrees with the views 30 often express
sed in the columns of the GAZETTE, and We pro-
duce the following extract as supporting views
similar 10 our own:
We have frequently had occasion TO point out
that it would be very desirable that in the North
coast districts selectors planters and farmers
should have some other industry beside that of
sugar to rely upon. The reasons for this are so
obvious to all men of experience and ordinary
forethought, that it would be superduous for Us to
indicate them separately. Perhaps the most
patent Of all these Is contained in the circumstance
that scarcely any two tropical crops require pre-
cisely the same conditions of soil and climate to
bring them to perfection, and it is at once mani
fest that though these Northern coast districts ap
pear generally to be eminently well suited TO the
growth Of sugar, it cannot be doubted that there
are other crops which would come to perfection
and prove quite as profitable. There is. probably,
agricultural industry which would not, at times,
be liable to a crisis, arising from one circum-
stance or another; but crisis which threatens the
welfare Of one industry does not necessarily equal
" affect another; and, therefore, we maintain that
the existence Of other industries alongside the pre-
sent all absorbing sugar one, would prove highly
advantageous, not only to the farmers and plar-
tiers themselves, but TO the whole community.

Tho Planter, Monthly.

particularly valuable number of the Planters
Monthly lis issued this month. 1t contains the
whole Of the proceedings of the Planters Labor
and Supply Company during their late meeting.
There are most valuable statistical tables which
Will be read with interest by planters at hume and
abroad, there are reports, not only on the great
staple, but on cognate topics, which are most in
teresting, and the whole is put together in handy
form. mere glance at the index shows what
kind of material is furnished 10 the reader. Ma
ehinery, Transportation, Narities Of Land, Labor,
Live Stock, Masceration, Forestry, and more local
are the papers on Legislation and our treaty rela-
tions with the United States. These papers are
not the production of mere theorists they are the
careful opinions Of practical men, and as such are
the more valuable. Men who have the work of a
plantation at their fingers ends, who are daily in
contact with laborers and with the land, are the
men whom planters in other countries like TO hear
from. We know of no sugar publication which
puts forth papers Of this kind fully as the PlaH-
i1s Monthly OF Hawaii, and We feel sure that this
number Twill be largely quoted from in ali sugar
growing countries.

A Gorernment Agent in Trouble.

Captain G. H. Tierney, an agent Of the Hawaiian
Government and master Of the brig Hazard, has
been arrested and committed for trial at the Janu-
airy term of the Supreme Court, on q charge of
kidnapping. The offence is charged to have been
committed some II months ago at one Of the ISL
ands Of the South Seas and has been investigated
by the Government on a statement made by one
]. Allen former mate with Captain Tierney.
The unblemished reputation which Captain Tier
ney has maintained during his service in the
labor" business has imbued even the prosecuting
attorney with the idea that the charges are
groundless, against the Captain, but il the at
ey-general errs what nice picking the Giro
nick will have in the testimony. The Government
was for some little while obtaining evidence on the
charges, secretly until the matter coming to the
notice of Captain Tierney be demanded an open
investigation. Captain TierneY goes to San Fran
cisco on the Aorposa but will return in season for
the contemplated trial

Educatlon, when his last engagement terminated
IN not altogether satisfactory manner, as far as
We have been given TO understand. Otherwise the
arrangements seem to have been fairly laid oct,

however, depends on the intelligence and efficiency

A Birthday Party.

On Monday evening last, quite large company
of ladies and gentlemen assembled at the resi-

casion being the celebration of tho birthday OF
two of his children-Eiss Eliza and Mr.. John Lu.
cas-. At about o'clock the guests began to assem-
BILE, and by half-past s, a large number had ar
rived. Shortly after dancing was inauguratsd in
the large room recently erected, and under the
inspiration of the sweet strains Of Berpers Gtrno
band was kept up, with slight interpissons, until
the call for an adjournment to the supper table
was announced, where all did ample justice to a
feast which was credit to the host. After salts
flying the inner man, dancing was again resumed
by the younger portion of the company, while their
elders (who had forgotten how to dancel engaged
in social converse, eating ice cream, de- Alto
gether most pleasant evening was passed. the
