REGISTRATION OF DEATHS.

The President of the Board of
Health, in his report to the Legis-
lature. ntimates that it would he
"desirable to have more accurate
system than is at present adopted
for the registration of deaths through
out the kingdom Ii is currently
believed, and the accuracy Of the
belief is not difficult to prove. that
the registration of deaths through
out the kingdom is very incomplete;
that is, many deaths occur which
are never registered. In some coun-
tries, particularly those of the British
empire having constitutional govern
ment, very stringent regulations eX-
ist for compelling registration of all
deaths, even in the remotest parts,
and compliance is enforced by pen
alties more or less severe. a system
of registration that would secure
absolute completeness, or - near
approximation thereto. SO that the
correct number of deaths might be
ascertained, is very desirable in this
country. The same may be said OF
births. Registration of births is
as strictly enforced in the countries
Just now alluded to as deaths, and
so it should be here. There are.
undoubtedly, impedimcn:s to an
exact fulflment of regulations in the
mixed and motley population Of these
islands, unused to Western civiIza-
ton, that do not occur in com
munity of Caucasians, accustomed
for centuries to civilized methods
and it would be little unreasonable
to expect that the registration o
births and deaths occurring among
the native and oriental portions q
the population should be absolutely
complete for many years to come
But there is certainly possibility
of improvement on our present
system, and improvement should be
attempted.

HEALTH MATTERS.

About year and half ago this
paper published an article on the
sanitary condition Of Honolulu. 1t
asserted that this city was unhealthy,
ot the same time holding that it was
not necessarily so, and specifying
the causes that produced the effect
causes within the power of the peo-
ple to remove. We were roughly
handled by our local contemporaries
for our extravagant " statement
respecting HonoIulu's health, al
though we had the support of statis-
tics then available, and have the
support of those which have accu-
mulated since to the present time,
as anyone can see by referring to
the report of the Agent of the Board
of Health. 1t is not our wish nor
intention to reopen the question,
and we only refer to it incidentally, to
remind those who differed from us
that they were wrong and we right.
The object of the article alluded TO
was to show that the health of the
community was largely in its own
control, that generally speaking the
people could be healthy or sick ac-
cording to their own will, and that
all government measures would ac-
complish little without the hearty
and intelligent cooperation of the
people themselves. These views
were sound a year and half ago
and so they are to-day. The gov
ernment have duties to perform in
regard to public health, and so have
the governed. The former may dc
their part fully and faithfully, anc
yet very small proportion of the
possible good will be effected unless
the latter perform their share also

Voting on Newspapers.

The Brooklyn Magazine began, in
its July issue, discussion on the ques.
tion, (which is the ablest American
newspaper ?" The controversy was
put to the ballot, and at once excited
lively interest in every part of the
United States, and extended even to
the countries of Europe. The total
vote reached the large number of 12,-
O54, which exceeded the expectations
of the editor of the magazine.
The result places the New York
Times at the head of the list with a
vote of lib. There were votes for
6S newspapers. The leading papers
after the Times were the Chicago

RULED BY PREJUDICE.

Few persons realize how thoroughly
they are controlled by prejudice even to
their own disadvantage. For many years
the treatment of rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica and headache has been by some
outward application, and, therefore, with
out stopping to think that the origin Of
these troubles must, from necessity, be in
ternal, the weary sufferer continues to rub,
rub and find no relief. Athlophoros is taken
internally, and as proof that this is the
correct principle, it cures surely and quick
ly. The statement of those who hare been
cured ought to convince the incredulous.
CT. Bruce, Metuchen, N. j., says: "My
mother had the rheumatism in her heart,
and was cured by Athlophoros. She says
there is no medicine like it,"
James w. Reed, 1888 Penn Ave-, Pitts
burgh, Pa, says: "My mother, although n
years of age, was entirely cured by the use
Of Athlophoros."
Miss Carrie Patten, Eagle Village, N. Y,
says: "My mother was nearly cripple in
her arms, not having been able to dress nor
scarcely able to feed herself for three
months, being in severe pain most of the
time. The acute pain ceased after taking
three bottles of Athlophoros, but she con-
tinued to take it until all signs of rheuma-
tism were gone; having taken q bottles in
all. She has not taken any since last May,
and can use her arms as well as ever. A
number of friends have taken it, and in
every case it has given satisfaction. In case
Of sick headache, it gives almost immediate
relief"
John M. Wolcott, Piffard, N. Y, says: /:
~ got bottle of Athlophoros for a friend.
She at once gained rapidly, and has not
been troubled with the rheumatism SINCE"

ON NEW YEARS MORN.

A boat sailed out on the ebbing tide,
To toll all night for fish In the sea;
The sails were set as she foated free
And tossed the foaming waves aside;
And the fisherman said as he sailed AWAY,
II come not back till the break of day"
The wind arose and the sea was wild,
And the angry waves obeyed the gale;
The fisherman thought as he flirled the sail,
OF cottage home, Of wife and child;
Aud he said as he toiled, God, pray,
Thou wilt keep me safe till the break Of day.

The city editor of the TIMES is in re-
CENT of bound copy, with the authors
compliments, Of "Nina's Peril" the latest
work of Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller. 1t IS
published by Dillingham;, of New York,
successors to Carleton q Co. The work
is affectionately dedicated to her hus-
band, Mr.. Alex. McVeigh Miller, and IS
one of the best of the many works OF this
gifted authoress. 1t is a life sketch IN
which all of the characters are faithfully
delineated, and in which an excellent plot
is worked out to perfect and pleasing
finale. Mrs. Miller is Richmond girl
who in the field of literature has won both
fame and fortune; but neither the posses,
sion of the one or the other has caused
her to forget those who were her friends
in the days of shadow, and who have re-
ioiced with her when her path has been
blest with the happiest sunlight.

Should BE Repaired.

No. Steamer which is located at the
Twentv-fifth- street engine-house, Is IN
very bad condition When this steamer
was built, for some unaccountable reason
there were five receiving valves and only
three discharging valves put in. In con-
sequence of this fact it has for some time
past been impossible for this piece OF APP
naratus to lift water from an open nam.
This renders the engine useless for work
ing from the dock, canal, creeks, &c
Yesterday Chief Fuqua tried the steamer
on the dock, after having had two OF the
receiving valves closed up, thus equal
ling the flow of water. Under this ar
rangement it worked little better, but
not entirely satisfactorily.
This engine is located in and is sup
posed to protect portion of the city that
is largely dependent upon the dock foI
its water-supply in case OF fire. Should
a confagratiOn occur among our large
warehouses or shipping property in the
lower portion of the city this engine
would be practically useless. :,
This is an important matter, and should
be looked to at once.
