Fat People aad Fluids.

The question whether water Is iatte0-
ing or otherwise has been much dis
cussed. Formerly it was generally
ASSERTED tha: the victims Of obesity should
mor,ity the flesh anl rednceS ths fat by
abstaining as nuch as possio1e from
liquids and remaining in continual
state OF thirst Latterly the opposite has
been affirmed. and am told that re-
duction Of weight IS one of the results
claimed by the hot wa,erscure. pro
vided always the water j. taken as hot as
possible, painfully hot, and in great
quantities. Experiments have been made
in Paris by D.. Drbove which controvert
both these doctrines. These expert
ments indicate that, provided the same
amount Of solid food IS taken, large
quantities Of water make man neither
thinner nor fattcr They were carefully
made on q friend who took weighed
quantities Of food daily, and while
these remained equal doubling the guam
tity of water had no measurable effect on
the weight Of the boly. Sill, it is quite
possible that the old theory Of thirst cure
and the new theory Of hot water enre may
both be correct. Both violate the natural
conditions of health Scalding hot water,
like tea or coffee, or grog Of similar tenn
peIature, unquestionably injuries the
teeth, stomach, and other organs con
ccrned in the early stages of digestion,
and it is very p.obable that deficiency OF
liquid impedcs the latter stages, whereby
the chyme, By the aid of the digesting
fluids, becomes converted into chyle and
blood. \ fat man may easily become
thinner by injuring his health. "Bant-
! ing IS dangerous, as many who have
fairly tried can prove. The difficult
problem is to reduce the fat without re
ducing the strength at the game time. A
skilful trainer will undertake to bring
any man down to his Fighting weight, "
j. G., to the best condition for violent
cxcrton, but As soon as the discipline OF
the trainer is relaxed the obccity, when

tinuance Of high training is ma-dcrous.
Perhaps the old prescription keep
your mouth shut and your eyes open,
when followed with judicious limita
sions, is the best Eat less, sleep less

Religious Profession.

everywhere, and also in the new world
in America-but has never been wit
messed in this new Christian country, is
to take place at the Roman Catholic Ca

American lady will consecrate herself to
the service of God for life, by making
solemnly the usual vows of religion,
poverty, chastity and obedience, to be-
come a member OF the congregation of
the Sacred Hearts OF Jesus and Mary,
which has devoted itself to the education
of youths in these Islands for so many
years. The ceremony will be accom-
panied by chant and sermon in English,
and concluded by the solemn benediction
of the most blessed Sacrament. All

THE LEGISLATURE.

So far, we think, the Legislative As
sembly compares more than favorably
with any preceding Legislature since the
establishment of representative instltu-
tons in the Kingdom. 1t has perfected
more good and useful legislation in
the same time than was ever before ac-
complished, and it is making steady and
continuous progress in the same direc-
ton, the only drawback being the petty
obstruction offered by representative
Opposition leaders, from whom a greater
degree of intelligence and apprehension
OF public requirements might have been
expected Furthermore, the depart
mental reports are in more forward
state than in previous sessions, and the
promptitude with which new bills are
printed and circulated merit special
commentator.
These facts should be mentioned be-
cause they demonstrate the malignant
calumny of the Opposition press and
candidates for legislative honors during
the late election campaign. The Ma
tional party has fully vindicated the
choice OF the electorate, both by their
intelligence, attention to business, and
general department. This is so entirely
different from what had been forecast
regarding their conduct and qualifica-
tons, that we feel constrained to put the
fact upon record. 1t is a truth in the
l. % 10 oh
will not be forgotten at future elections.
Steady progress was made with the
Appropriation bill, although the debate
upon the salary of a District Judge be-
came rather discursivc. 1t "swung all
around the CIRCLE" so to speak, and
strange to say raised the wholly irrele-
want and unimportant question of who
edits and 'finspires" the ADVERTISER and
other journals Mr. Dole appears to
have had some doubt regarding the
ADVERTISER, but after the emphatic dis
claimer of the Minister of Foreign Affairs
we hope it has been removed, and that
his perplexed little brain will rest easy
upon its downy pillow hereafter. Were
it q matter of any public or personal
interest, we should tell all about
the editorial management of this paper.
As it is not of the slightest consequence
however, We refrain from any disclosure
of the kind Suffice it to say that the
ADVERTISER is generally well informed
upon public questions, that it expresses
it's views of public policy without am
biguity, that it is an enemy OF false pre-
tense, and therefore that it was against
the Opposition in the late election. Its
success in that national effort to get rid
of the incubus of a petty and in
tolerable tyranny naturally troubles
Mr.. Dole and his friends, who have
been thrust by it into the outer
darkness of perpetual political defeat.
For the ADVERTISER, we have simply to
say that it is abundantly able to take
care of itself. For our friends, we say
that we are at all times prepared to de-
fend them when they are in the right,
and until they have been clearly shown
to be in the wrong. And so far as the
Opposition is concerned, We propose to
keep them within the lines of truth and
propriety, however distasteful it may
chance to be either to individuals or the

BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT.

The report of the President of the
Board of Health for the past biennial
period has been presented to the Legis-
lative Assembly. This report relates
generally to the sanitary condition of the
Kingdom.
And first, i'll regard to it, we re-
mark the hopeful if not confident,
tone in which His Excellency
the President of the Board of
Health writes. The health of the people
generally during the last biennial period
was somewhat above the average of
former years, and of itself moderately
good" This is the conclusion drawn
from returns furnished by Government
physicians from all parts of the Islands.
When the fact is borne in mind that
there has been a very considerable in
crease of population from Japan and the
insular possessions of Portugal during
the period in question, not to speak of
Chinese, this result is extremely salts
factory. The bulk of these immigrants
arrived in low physical condition, Oc-
casioned by their antecedent poverty
and privation and by climatic and
dietary change. 1t speaks well for the
medical and sanitary arrangements OF
the Board of Health that there has been,
under these conditions, "a manifest de-
cline in the death rate of the Kingdom, -
and that no epidemic disease got a foot
hold, although smallpox was introduced
by immigrant vessels. The vigilance of
the Health Department, and the perfect
sanitary arrangements at the quarantine
station, prevented the introduction and
spread of what might have proved to be,
as in years past, devastating plague.
1t is likewise gratifying to find His
Excellency Mr.. Gibson, as Presi-
dent of the Board OF Health, bear
ing testimony to "an awakened APP
probation of the laws of health in
many ways by the native Hawaiian
people" This is manifested in "the
construction of their dwellings, the clean
illness of their homes, by greater care in
the matter Of clothing, and more espe-

FRIDAY, May DIST.
In re estate of Chin Sun of Honolulu,
an insOlvent bankrupt. Hearing in the
application Of Lou Hoo that Chin Sun be
declared bankrupt. After hearing proof
of the acts OF bankruptcy done by re-
spondent, the Court adjudged him
bankrupt and appointed Wednesday
next the day for creditors to prove their
claims and election OF assignee. Kinney
& Peterson for the application, respond
ent in person.
In re estate of Hama Kaai (w), de-
ceased. Application of Keaka Kaai,
alias Kaui Makahiehie, the admins
traitor, for approval OF his account and
discharge. The Court approved his ac
count as such, and ordered the admins
traitor discharged. There were two
claimants before the Court, namely,
Makahiehie * and Kawaihae (w),
who proved themselves to be sec
ond cousins to the deceased The
Court held that they could not inherit
from the deceased, as by the statutes OF
descent the inheritance of coliaterals
terminates with the brothers and sisters
OF the parents of the intestate and their
direct descendants. The Court ex-
pressed the hope that the present Legis-
lature would pass law enabling the
granduncles and grandaunts, as collater
ais, to inherit the property of an intes-
tate. The deceased in this case was the
wife of the late Hon. S. K. Kaai, who
survived her. The property of deceased
consists of an undivided half interest in
some lands situate in Kona, Hawaii,
valued at something over 81 900. The
administrators OF the estate of S. X.
Kaai (the husband) disposed of the
other half in the wife's property by vir
tue of the statute passed in 1872, and I'M
less the administrators of the husbands
estate come in and claim the other half,
which is now in default of any kindred,
the property will have to escheat to the
Hawaiian Government. J. 4. Nahazu

ness principles. Let there be no
beggary about it. Let it be understood
that, in your opinion at least, you earn
every dollar you get, and that whether

old soul tells you that he does not care
for your paper, but that he guesses he
will take it just to help keep it alive,
answer him promptly that he doesn't
need to. Strive to make newspaper
that people want, and will have, and
want badly enough to pay for, as they
pay for calico, and tobacco, and
bottled beer. If you cannot make such

your calling or your location. Let the
