Dear Public
Come and see us.

pleasure in asking you in

never so comfortable. Stand

Everybody is more indul-

PLANT TREES.

This country has suffered a very
serious loss by the destruction of it's
native trees. The only proper thing
to do, therefore, is to set to work to
repair the waste. There are hundreds
of places which would grow timber
on this and the other islands that
cannot be utilized for anything else.
These places should be turned to ac-
count by planting useful, rapid grow
ing trees. They will mature much
faster than anyone would imagine,
who did not take close note of the
flight of time. In the United States
the necessity for replenishing the
void in the forests made by reckless
ness and avarice combined is very
great. 1t is calculated that the daily
destruction of forests amount to about
5000 acres a day. OF course young
trees spring up to repair in part this
waste, but many States have taken
the matter in hand in practical
way, and made "arbor day." or tree
planting day, legal holiday. In
other States which have not adopted
this general plan of forest culture,
local bodies have taken charge of it.
In one place it ia the county authori-
ties; in another it is the School
Board; but everywhere the people
enthusiastically support the State
and local authorities.
The Government of this Kingdom
has set an example IN experimental
tree planting which land owners
would do we'll to follow. They would
be enriching themselves while doing
great public good. Few more
profitable crops can be grown on our
exposed uplands than thrifty for
est trees. Try the experiment OF
planting a few acres here and there.

The ..PIan.ers' VTouthIy.,,

The June number of the Planters Month
" has been received. This number is fully
up to the standard of it's predecessors, and
contains much of interest to the planter in
particular, and to all others interested in
the industries of these islands in general.
A list is given OF forty-seven varieties of
sugar cane that have been analysed by the
chemist in charge of the U. S. Bureau of
Chemistry, in the Department of Agriculture
at the New Orleans Exposition, and the table
of results given show that some of the speci-
mems were not in proper state for analysis,
as the amount of crystallizable sugar varies
much from the usual standard. Unless it
can be shown that the samples Of cane
analysed were of fair average excellence,
it would seem as though the labor of the
chemist in preparing these tables had been,
to great degree, thrown away.
Speaking of the use of begasse as fuel, the
remark is made that one year the begasse
furnishes abundant fuel with which to grind
the crop, while the following year there is
not enough, and coal has to be largely used.
1t would be interesting to know what is the
reason for this difference in the heating
properties of the begasse, and whether it
can be remedied or not.
In letter from an Indignant Planter"
that gentleman says that the clause in the
contract made with the japanese, that pre-
scribes that 20 per cent of the wages due the
Iaborers must be paid into the hands of the
Japanese Consul, is % unreasonable, and
cannot be enforced - He gives it as his
opinion that the japanese laborer has
enough to do to pay back his advance and
buy some decent clothing in the meantime"
by which is meant, probably, during his
three years term Of service. If this were
true-if the Japanese who have contracted
to work on pIantatio here cannot do more
than pay back their advance and get them
selves some decent clothing in their three
years contract-then they should be paid
more wages, or else the price Of decent
clothing should be reduced somewhat.
Indignant Planters argument that the
laborer will, if the clause in the contract
spoken of be enforced, have some money with
which to pay his way back to his native
country when his term of service has ex-
pired, las if that should not be his privilege if
he SO elects lis too selfish to be ofmuch weight
with those who believe that our contract
system should be as free from any imputa-
tion of being a species of slavery as it can
possibly be made.

understand, is absolutely the case in
respect of Portuguese children on
plantations.
W. urge this as d precautionary
measure, and not for the purpose OF
exciting alarm. w, think that the
smallpox this time will be confined
TO the Japanese immigrants, and that
few of them will be afflicted by it.
The average health of the city is
good, although there is a gradual
lowering of vital energy, owing to
the long and exhausting spell of hot
weather. Still there is no unusual
amount of sickness, and therefore our
fellow citizens are in a position to
lock with more complacency on the
present visitation by sea than would
otherwise he the case. Cleanliness
and moderation in living are among
the best representatives..

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE IN SCHOOLS.

The ADVERTISER recently discussed
this subject at considerable length in
its editorial columns, and recon-
mended that elementary physiology
and hygiene be taught in our public
schools. This subject is engaging in
creased attention in the States. The
Massachusetts Legislature has a bill
before it in relation to temperance in
struction. 1t provides that "physiol-
ogy and hygiene, which in each
division shall include special instruc-
tien as to the effects of alcoholic
drinks, stimulants and narcotics on
the human system, shall be taught as
a regular branch of study, to all pu-
pills in schools supported wholly or in
part by public money, except special
schools maintained solely for instruc-
ton in particular branches, such as
drawing, mechanics, art and like
studies" A pen,lty of $500 for every
month of neglect is to be enforced, the
money to go 10 the Massachusetts
school fund. Several of the newspa-
pers oppose the bill, one of them go
ing the length of stating that a
drunken man on the street is better
lesson in temperance than all the
treatises that AL the bookmakers will
flood the State with if this bill be-
comes law. In this opinion we do
not agree. We think the open exhi-
bition of drunkenness has a democrat
izing and not a mOnitorial tendency.
Anyhow, we should like to have the
experiment fairly tried, with a proper
text book for the use of teachers, in
the public schools of this Kingdom.

FRIDAY
June 10th,
SMALLPOX AND VACCINATION.

The President aud Board of Health
have done everything in their power
to guard against the introduction Of
smallpox by the japanese immigrant
steamship. But for the prompt and
intelligent action of the President of
the Board, as narrated in yesterdays
ADVERTISER, the chances are thou
sand to one that the disease would
have been brought ashore and spread
among the native population. There
appears to have been at least great
want of judgment on the part of the
port physician, who authorized the
vessel to come to the landing with
the knowledge that measles had
been, and then was, on board, even if
there had been no smallpox. His
clear duty was to have ordered the
steamship into quarantine until the
Board of Health had been communi-
Gated with, and a close inspection
made. This would have relieved him
from all responsibility for Interior
consequences; but this is not possible
unutE JAG SlubG VI ldClS SAS LhCy GAASbs
The disease was smallpox, however,
and so clearly marked as to deceive
no practiced eye, much less physi-
clans. This makes the case all the
worse, having reference TO public
health and safety. There is abso-
lutely no excuse for the conduct of
the port physician who allowed free
intercourse with plague ship, hav-
ing knowledge that there was sick
ness on board. Should this commu-
nifty escape smallpox visitation it
will be by pure accident, because
several persons boarded the vessel be-
fore the truth was discovered, and
one of the saloon passengers came on
shore.
And this brings us to the point that
vaccination, especially among the ma
tives and Portuguese, should be en-
forced. We learn from the Portu-
guese Commissioner that his country
men and women have strong aver
sion to vaccination for fear of trans
mission of leprosy. Now, expert
ments have demonstrated, in a few
cases, that leprosy is not communica-
BILE by vaccination, but that will not
convince ignorant people, and vacci-
nation being a necessary precautiOn
against smallpox, it rests with the
Board of Health to procure pure
vaccine lymph from the Coast, If this
has not already been done, and thus
overcome the scruples of Portuguese
in this city, but especially on planta-
tions, among whom vaccination has
been generally neglected. This, we

Naval Constructors, and 200 Warrant
Officers total of ,613. In addition
to these there are 81 Officers of Ma

there are 337 officers of all grades,
most of them of superior rank and
consequently in the enjoyment

forty-eight Admirals, drawing 81, 500

Naval Academy, is ,, IA
FAT NAVAL SINECURES.
OF the serviceable ships, there is
one first-rate, eleven second-rate
nineteen third-rate and four fourth
rate. Five of these are laid up and
three are undergoing repairs. This
makes a pretty tOp-heavy navy. Two
thousand officers and but twenty-five
or thirty old wooden ships suggest a
prepOnderauce of gold lace, fat salar-
les and idlencss not pleasant for the
working American laub,ic 20 contem-
plate. A further glance at the regis
ter shows that the Admiral lives in
Washington and has nothing to do
but attend to his magazine literature.
His salary is Sl3,O "a year. The
Vice-Admiral is Chairman OF the
which is i'm session about one hour in
a month. OF the seven Rear-Admir-
ais, but two command squadrons.
The others have some nominal duty
on shore, to which they are assigned
to enable them to draw duty pay.
Not one of the sixteen CommodOl es
is at sea. Nine of them command
| navy yards, but the assignments of
the other seven are as merely NOM
| inal as those of the Rear-Admirals,
and for the same purpose. For
| instance, Commodore Luce is Super
| intendent of the "Naval War Col
lege," whatever that is. When a
Commodore is waiting orders" he
receives but s., 900 salary When he
is "on duty" however slight, he is
paid $4,000; hence the scramble for
nominal assignments. Of the forty
five Captains, six command ships,
twenty have nominal shore
duty and eleven live quietly at their
homes, the department being unable
| to find even nominal work for them.
OF the eighty-five Commanders, but
nineteen are at sea, twenty-One are
idle, and the remainder have nomin-
al "duty" on shore. OF the whole
staff corps, numbering $50 officers.
but seventy-nine are at sea. And so,
page by page, one might analyze the
navy register and prove that the Gov
eminent is supporting needlessly and
in idleness three-fifths of the LOO
officers on the active list of the navy.
