The ADVERTISERS some time ago
referred to a bill which was before
the Massachusetts Legislature, en-
titled the Temperance Instruction
bill. 1t was made compulsory upon
School Boards to make instruction in
the effects of alcoholic stimulants
upon the human body part of the
Tally school work, and the bill as
originally drafted contained heavy
penalty for neglect. The Legislature
passed the bill without the penalty
clause, but the ladies who promoted
the measure declare they will apply
to the Courts to compel the School
Boards to give effect to the law, which
is mandatory. Many of the School
Boards object to this kind of instruc-
ton, but the women this time have
the advantage, and may compel re-
fractory Boards to make the neces-
sary order. With proper text book
there is no reason why elementary in
struction in physiology and hygiene
should not be made part of the public
school work.

THE Providence "Journal" pro-
nOunces a scathing condemnation of
the modern Sunday school method,
which makes "the banner class the
one which contributes the most money,
and not because it is the best be-
haved, the most studious or striving
to be the best in conduct" It says
that when this is the result "the Sun
day school has not only not done
enough for the children for good, but
it has done them a great moral
wrong" And the New Bedford
Mercury" commenting on this
statement, adds that it knows of at
least one Sunday school in which
great rivalry has been aroused as to
which class should contribute most
to the school treasury. It adds: "It
seems to US bad lesson, tending
more to giving for glOry-'to be seen
of men, as the great teacher put it
than to giving for the love of doing
good Such Sunday school training
as this misses by a long way the
highest good of the children. and it is
not compensated for by any amount
of international uniform lessons"
There is a great deal of truth in these
remarks, and they are of pretty gen.
eral application.

THE Rev. Sam Jones, the Georgian
revivalist, says he would mix religion
and temperance with politics to make
it little cleaner. That is precisely
what st. John did last election in the
States, but he only made politics
filthier. He drew a prize of $25, ZOO,
more or less, out of the Democratic
lottery. Blatant reformers are always
open to conviction, as a rule, about
election time; but during the close
political season they are great on

Inspection by the Government Vet

Urinary Surgeon.
DR.. J. Brodie, Government Veter mary
Surgeon, has returned from his tour of
inspection on the island of Hawaii. In
he Hilo district he found three chronic
eases of CHAMBERS. One of the animals
had been shipped from Honolulu about
two months previous to his visit. He
knew of the case, but it was hid from
him here. All three animals were ordered
to be shot at once and buried. Doctor
Brodie was much pleased with the pre-
caution taken against the spread of the
disease by the people of that district.
In the Hamakua district he found one
suspicious case. With these exceptions
the stock in the two districts is very
healthy and looking remarkably we'll.
The Doctor enjoyed himself immensely,
and was we'll treated wherever he went.
A Board of Inspectors will be appointed
for the district of Hilo. DIR. Brodie has
already submitted some names to His
Excellency the Minister of the Interior,
who will probably make a selection at an
early date.

UTILIZING DESTRUCTIVE VERMIN.

Our planters have introduced the
mongoose to kill off rats, which eat
the cane. The mongoose are doing
their work well, and increasing
rapidly. In time it may become
necessary to introduce some animal
bigger, stronger, and more ferocious
TO Kill off the mOngOOse-and then.
Time will tell, and then everyone
will be able to judge for himself.
Some twenty years ago Australian
and New Zealand squatters intro
duced rabbits to give them "sport.u
and break the monotOny of life on
the " runs" For time all went
we'll. They had sport, and shot an
occasional rabbit. But the rabbits
had nothing whatever to do but in
crease and multiply, which they did
according to natural law, and then
the squatters began to look serious.
The idea of sport vanished. 1t became
question of rabbit or sheep, and,
despite trap and gun, the rabbit won.
Hundreds OF thousands of acres have
been rendered valueless for pastoral
purposes; and the various LegfsIa-
lures appropriated large sums for
RABBIT determination, and expensive
corps of "rabbit inspectors " were or
ganized.
The next step in this blind game
was to Introduce the weasel, ferret,
mongoose, and other vermin TO prey
upon rabbits, and the INSPECTORS "
took to breeding and turning them
loose. This is within the past six or
seven years, and now the settlers are
beginning to discover that these ami
NAL pests are worse than the rabbits.
In the Riverton district, in what
was once the province of Southland;
where the rabbits took absolute con-
troll for time, the tide of opinion has
turned, as the following extract from
q New Zealand paper shows:
At meeting of the Riverton Agricultural
and Pastoral Association, held recently, Mr..
Hopcraft moved that the rabbit inspector he
written to and requested not to turn out
any more ferrets, as there were already
now become so numerous that the settlers
could not trap rabbits. He had even caught
a ferret in his house, and the traps set for
rabbits caught nothing but ferrets. If rab-
bit inspectors had nothing to do but turn
out ferrets the sooner the inspector were
done away with the better. Poultry was
suffering greatly. The speaker could keep
down rabbits without the aid of ferrets, but
he could not keep down the ferrets. Any
person who wilfully turned ferrets adrift
should be prosecuted. The men on Captain
Stevens run had killed over 200 of these
animals. He pointed out that it was illegal
to kill ferrets even when they were caught
in traps, and it was cruelty to animals to
allow ferrets to be turned out with broken
legs. The prohibition should be taken off at
any rate. The protection of these animals
vould drive small settlers out of the district.
The matter was briefly discussed and then
postponed. |
This experience is being repeated
all over the country, and as the evil
is only in its infancy it is impossible
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1885-07-22

to say where it will end. It is always
hazardous to interfere with the bal
ance established by nature in any
country in the matter of wild animal
life. How the mongoose experiment
may turn out in these Islands it is
difficult to say, but their constant in
crease will be a great bar to small
farm settlement, as it will be impos-
sible to raise poultry successfully
where they are around in large num-
bers.

Hunting Made Comfortable.
fChicago Times.

a couple of enterprising persons at
Newport have gone into the business of
breeding foxes for fox-hunting. Owing
to the perversity of wild foxes, Newport
fox-hunts have often been characterized
by some pretty rough and rapid riding
that seriously diminished the enjoyment
Of the sport. but with tame foxes it may
be rendered as comfortable and safe as a
ride in street car, and hence the enter
prise of the Newport fox breeders will be
warmly appreciated.
