drivel. It's five lines of common
sense satisfy US. If there had been
any chance of reform without invok-
ing the aid of women, and interesting
them in the neglected and shameful
condition of members of their own
sex, we should not have made the APP
peal we did. There are many and varf-
Gus male organizations of a humani-
tartan character in this city also,
which have taken moral agencies, so
to speak, under their widespread
wings, but we see no special results
therefrom. We do not doubt that
some measure of good has been ac-
compished, but there is, to use a
hOmely phrase, a great deal "more
cry than WOOL" Prayer and mutual
exhortation are very good things in
their way and not to be neglected,
but they do not come within the
scriptural definition of pure reli-
gion and undefiled." To visit the
sick and minister to the fatherless
and widows in their affIiction, and to
keep oneself inspected from the
world, is about the sum total, as we
read it. Now, we apprehend that the
work we have suggested to the Chris
tan women of Honolulu, of whom
there are many, comes precisely
within this definition of religious per-
fiction. Of course it would equally
apply to male organizations, but
their idea of duty does not apparently
run in that groove, and within their
own narrow lines, we suppose they
are doing as we'll as can be reason
ably expected.
What the ADVERTISER would like
to see, however, is genuine work. 1t
believes in results and not in a pro-
gramme. At the Branch Leper Hos
pitaI there are to be seen results
of the highest type of Christian
charity and the most exacting form
of Christian duty. We do not ask
sacrifices like that, however, from
either Christian women or Christian
men who have family ties and obli-
cations binding upon them; but we
do expect them to interest themselves
practically in the conduct of our chart
table institutions, and not leave all to
the sense of duty of paid public at
tendants, who are apt, through ia
miliarity, to become callOus and in.
different to human suffering.

CULTIVATING LIMA BEANS.

There is no good reason why Lima
beans should not be extensively Gull
tivated in this country. It is an ex-
ceedingly profitable crop. The fol-
lowing item from the San Francisco
Chronicle" showing the method of
cultivation in California, may prove
instructive and profitable to some en-
terprising Hawaiian landowner, who
is not afraid to fence and farm prop
erly:
In California, where larger crops of Lima
beans are grown than in any other part of
the United States, both in acreage and in
average yield, such thing as the use of
poles is unknown. The beans are planted
in hills and are allowed to spread upon the
ground at will BY this means, besides
saving the expense and labor of poles, the
cultivation is rendered much easier, as the
weeds are choked out largely by the beans,
and, besides, the process of harvesting is
simplifed. When the beans reach maturity,
by the use of peculiar Implements blade
set at right angles across the end of handle
with pushing motion the vines are cut
from the roots az the surface OF the ground
and are then easily gathered up. This job
can be performed in q surprisingly short
time by this means, and the beans are then
ready to be threshed. A threshing floor is
prepared by wetting and tamping piece of
level ground of the requisite size, and upon
this the bean vines are spread to consider
able depth. Then the process as old as
Biblical times is gone through, of tramping
out the beans by the use of horses. Some
times wagons are used, being driven around
the threshing floor, while the vines are con-
tinually tossed and turned until the beans
are thoroughly shelled out. In localities
where late spring or early fall frosts are not
prevalent, Lima beans are very remuHera-
tive as well as easily cultivated crop. AS
yet their culture is almost entirely confined
to the southern portion of the county of San
Luis Obispo, and to the exceptionally
equable portion of Santa Barbara county
lying between the noun tains and the ocean,
though there seems no good reason why this
crop should not do equally we'll in many
other parts of the State.

PRACTICAL CHARITY.

Having written round the question
for nearly column and a quarter,
and characterized our reference to
female charitable endeavOr in this
city as ''curt, unmanly and unjust"
the evening paper concludes its arti
Gle yesterday by adopting our sug-
gestion. 1t says: "By all means let
the women take the initiative in
measures to reform the crying abuse
above mentioned [meaning the abuse
pointed out by the ADVERTISED, if
they do 50 only to put the men to
shame for their callOus Indifference.

sense of duty than from the motive
suggested above.

French IcOnOcIastS.

The most curious features of the OBJ
sequies of Victor Hugo-wh0se flu
neral is said to have been the most
imposing that ever took place in
Frauce-was the fact that not sim
gle priest was to be seen in the vast
assemblage, and that before the poets
body was received at the Pantheon
the edidoe was seculariZed by the de-
structton of the cross which sur
mounted its main entrance. At early
daybrsak, a workman, by order of the
Government, deliberately sawed off
the arms of the cross, thus divesting
it Of its religious character. A SINH
lar mutilation would have been prac-
ticod on the great cross which sur
mounts the dome, but for it's size and
the impossibility of removing its
fragments In the time allotted. The
performance was in strict accordance
with Victor Hugo's will, which de-
clared that there should be no reli-
gious element in the celebration of
his funeral.-[San Francisco Chroni-

Drainage of KapioIani Park.

The work Of providing proper drainage
for Kapiolani Park will be commenced next
week by the construction of a sluice-Way
under the long bridge, opposite Makee
Island. At that point it is proposed to
drive down double row Of piles, sheathed
with copper and capped, the piles standing
close to each other in the rows. The space
between the rows will be ten feet wide. The
piles will be driven through the sand into
the coral rock. They will be extended up
to the under side of the bridge. It is in
tended to fix fosd-gate in the sluice-way,
so that when the tide is high the water can
be retained in the ponds and streams in the
park, and at low tide thu gate being opened,
there will be a strong outflow, which will
carry away the stagnant water and accumu-
lations washed down from the high lands in
the rear of the park.

Disinfectants should be used much more
freely and constantly than they usually are,
even in times when there seems to be no
nertirv' occasion TO apply them. The
ddliea s,hses DO not easily detect the pres
ence of the more subtle of the noisesome e1-
halations that are injurious to health, and one
does not generally seek to counteract them
unless they become unbearable. Then we
use disinfectants and datter ourselves that
we have fulfilled our whole duty. But we
should go a step further, and apply disin-
fectants as means of destroying the germs
of disease before they become active.

THE difficulty between the fruit
growers and the mynahs referred to
by the Bulletin" is that the latter
increase steadily and have excellent
appetites, while the area of fruit Gull
tivation does not increase. Precisely
similar complaints were made against
small misunderstanding birds in the
early Embarrassing days of California,
but now no one ever hears protest,
because the quantity of fruit pro-
duced every year is so great that or
chardists aud vignerons do not miss
the toll which sparrows, blackbirds
and other small birds levy on the
fruit and berries as payment for their
vastly more important work in de-
stroying insects. The remedy in this
country is to grow more fruit, and
should mynahs and sparrOws in
crease unduiy they can be reduced
by destroying their nests and shoot
Ing them.

THE SMALLPOX CASES.

We publish in our "By Authority"
columns to-day a very important re-
port by DR.. Trousseau on the condi-
ton of the Japanese immigrants at
the quarantine ground. DIR. Trous-
seau was specially requested to make
a careful inspection with the view of
ascertaining the exact facts, for the
information of the Board of Health.
This was prudent course to adopt,
there being great many conflicting
stories afioat. DIR. Trousseau's ex-
perience and high standing in his
profession give his report great
weight. It's statements will be ac-
cepted as conclusive by the entire
community.
Tn brief, DR.. Trousseau reports that
there has not been a case of measles
on board the ship, and that tbs only
disease of a dangerous character that
had developed among the Japanese
was smallpox. Two of the cases are
mild, and two are of the continent
type. Que will probably prove fatal;
the others may recover.
DIR. Trousseau makes several prac-
teal suggestions which the Board of
Health will doubtless give effect to as
speedily as possible. 1t will be ap-
parent from the general tone of the re-
pOrt.an it's precise statement as well,
that there is no reason to apprehend
the introduction of the disease among
the population. The President of the
Board of Health, by his promptitude
and intelligence, averted what other
wise might have been a disastrous
calamity.
