HONEY FARMING.

Bee keeping and honey raising for
profit have been long carried on success
fully in most countries, and while there
are certain disabilities which might in
terfere to some extent with honey farm
ing for profit in these islands, there really
seems to be no good reason why an ex-
pertinent should not be made. We are
been tested in these islands from the
commercial standpoint; but even if we
do not raise honey for profit, we ought
at least raise enough to supply our home
demand, and thereby cut off this item of
import, to the advantage of another
home industry. Bookkeeping is pleas
ant employment, and may also be
classed as Eight work. with excellent
returns where intelligently and carefully
attended.
Honey farming is an extensive and
profitable industry in the United States,
where it is estimated there are now
100000 beekeepers, who last year took
hundred million pounds OF honey from
States varies under climatic and geo
graphical differences, and California is
creed to produce more honey per hive
than any other State in the Union. The
average production per hive in Southern
California is estimated to be about POO
pounds South Australia of late years is
also coming to the front in honey farm
ing, and the annual report, presented to
the Beekeepers' Association of that dis
trict a few weeks ago, states that 997
pounds of honey were taken from nine
hives, which is certainly a good showing
for a new industry.
OF course, Bookkeeping is an industry
that must receive careful attention and
study, even though it is not carried on
for profit, and its consideration imme-
diately suggests inquiries as to hives,
varieties of bees, methods of manufac-
turing beeswax, bee food and care of
bees, together with many other details
OF the industry. As We said before,
while it may not be expedient for our
people to attempt to carry on honey
farming for export, we see no reason
why our imports OF honey should not be
cut down by the development OF this
light and pleasant industry, which
would certainly give employment, with
careful attention, to goodly number of
natives and Portuguese, with return of
almost immediate profits on the invest
ment of small capital.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Yesterday was a rather dull day in the
Legislative Assembly, although some
progress was made with the business on
the Secretary's file The most promis-
ing feature was the absence of petitions
and resolutions, but when bills came up
for consideration the usual crop of
amendments was forthcoming If the
Legislature has one speciality above
another it is in its capacity for origi-
mating amendments Petitions are
the strong suit of the body polite :;
amendments constitute the leading
feature of legislative action For this
reason, if the House had been as re-
ticent of amendments as the constitu-
encies were remiss in petitions yester-
day, there would have been an unfailing
sign of speedy termination of the SEES
SION 'NsAis was not the case, however.
and the day was chiefly occupied IN. ttls
useless discussion of bill to establish a
Hawaiian Board of Health No action
was taken on the bill, it having been
discovered, after hours of talk on second
reading, that it had been referred to
committee, which had not reported.
A debate took place on the second
reading OF the Water Rates Lien bill,
the feeling Of the House being opposed
to the policy of that measure. But
owing to the difficulty of keeping a
quorum together after 4 o'clock, an ad-
journment took place without progress
being made.
The Pawnbrokers' bill was amended
and read second time, and the Linn
ted Partnership bill was read third
time and passed.

Snakes i'm Ice.

Snakes! Good gracious" remarked
snakes of all kinds. blacksnakes. vipers,
rattlesnakes,; cOpperheads, massasaugas,
watersnakes. blue. black. brown, green,
and every other color go to Bay Point
i'm the fall. after the frost comes, on q
warm day. Then you will see them out
summing themselves thousands of 'em.
"A hunter went down to tho point
one day to kill snakes. He shot and
shot among the squirming, Kissing
snakes until they got fighting mad and
went for him. He thought it quite fun
ny at first to fire shot from both barrels
of his gun into the snakes, but the
number of snakes increased so rapidly
that he was compelled to run is fast as
he was able to get rid OF them. They
chased him for a considerable distance.
He killed llS snakes. They were count
ell the next day. Why, it's nothing to
see thousand snakes on Bay Point on
a warm afternoon in the fall.
another thing on Bay Point is q
curiosity. A man went over to the
point not long ago and began digging
in the sand. When he got down in the
sand about eighteen inches he struck a
body of solid ice. There must be thou
sands of tons there. You see the way ii
got there was during the floods in the
spring of the year The ice rushed in
along the point, tore up the sand, and
block after block piled on each other.
When the water receded the sand settled
on the ice, and now there is a first-class
ice deposit there. should say there is
sufficient ice in that place to furnish
Toledo with the cold stuff for year.
Perhaps you think am not giving you
straight goods, but if you don't believe
what l tell you, ask the man that has
charge of Guard Island. He will YER
lily all that l have said about the ice"

A Caution to Teachers,

Let me warn teachers, especially
young ones, against attempting to reply
to any question by a scholar when they
do not really know what answer to
give. No one can be prepared for
every question which can be asked.
The veriest fool can ask more in five
minutes than the greatest philosopher
can answer in lifetime. know the
temptation IS great to give reply
some sort, which may be right or may
be wrong "for fear the scholar should
think us ignorant;" but that temptation
must be battled with. The real reason
why an answer is attempted ninety
nine cases out of hundred Is pride,
and it is pride which will certainly have
a fall, for if the scholar does not know
at once that the reply was guess, he
will remember it and confront the teach
er with it at some most inopportune
time-perhaps quote his own words
against him. Then, indeed, will the
scholar look down upon that teacher
and probably give him far lower
place in their regard than he really de-
serves. If, however, their teacher is
generally well-infOrmed and well ahead
of them, he will not sink at all in their
estimation if he honestly confesses that
he can not answer some particular
question: is generally one of fact
on the spur of the moment Still, he
should carefully treasure the question
and see that he obtains the correct an
swer to it for the very next time he
meets his class and should give them
the reply, with any other information
about the subject he may think fit. l
can speak from lively experience on
this matter. A few days after ! took
my first and only class, we had q lesson
i'm which some of the mountains in the
Holy Land were mentioned, and as we
spoke of them. was suddenly taken
aback with the question, Teacher
what's the highest mountain in the
wOrldp" confess had some sort of
an idea that it was Chimborazo, but
fortunately. my better nature conquered,
and | admitted that did not know, but
added ! would tell them in the after
noon. know that / have never for
gotten since then that it is Mount Ever
est and do not think they have forgot
ten it either. found that the boy who
asked me knew it, and had l made
a guess, would have tripped me in fine
style.
