Such exaggerations are calculated to
do a great deal of harm outside the King
dom, where its actual financial status is
unknown. And they were intended to
impose upon the native people to the end
that they might catch votes. For we
cannot suppose that men of affairs, as
Opposition candidates profess to be, are
wholly ignorant of the subject on which
they spoke. The purpose for which they
lied SC extravagantly was too personal
and direct in their own interest to admit

of the more charitable explanation OF
ignorance The latter defect might be
amended; the moral obliquity of char
acter implied in the other alternative is
incurable. We have no expectation
of curing these gentlemen of their vicious
habit, but that does not prevent us ex-
posing them.
Now, test this Egyptian comparison
used by Mr. w. R. Castle, taking the
latest available statement for this King
dom and that of 1888 (the latest to hand)
for Egypt The result is as follows:

National debt. - $55S, $40 1855 81 ,O78, 500
! Debt per head over $50 nearly $13
! But this even does not make fair
exhibit. The Egyptian people outside
| the ruling class are "fellahs," who own
no land of their own, but cultivate the
soil, paying "tribute of all they possess -
! to their taskmasters. No matter who
happy "fellahs' is never bettered The
| Hawaiian natives cultivate their own
land, acknowledge no taskmaster, and
when they work for hire are paid fair
wages This is not the case with Egyp-
! tian "fellahs" Furthermore it would
take more than nine years exports OF
Egypt to pay the principal of its national
| debt, whereas an average of six weeks
exports of domestic produce would pay
the national debt of the Hawaiian
Kingdom. Yet the Opposition candi-
dates did not scruple to charge against
this Government and country an equally
desperate financial condition with that
of Egypt.
But let us go a step further, and show
! just how little Mr.. Carter and his Oppo-
sition colleagues really know of the com

A correspondent suggests that the OPP
position could pay off the national debt
and provide Chinese immigration fund
by imposing an export duty on sugar
sufficient for that purpose. Of course
they could, but the National party will
not give them the chance. Moreover,
they would never dream of imposing a
special tax upon themselves, for are they

The same correspondent suggests that
all the rigid tblue laws of the Olden

criminate against natives and half

1t is very odd that Mr.. Carter should
make statements so contrary to, fact,
for the purpose of taking advantage OF
his native audience on the broad subject
of finance and public debt. There is a
moral obligation upon every gentleman
to speak the truth at all times, and this
obligation presses with tenfold force
vixen an educated and well-informed
person is speaking to and instructing
ignorant people. These considerations,
however, do not appear to have had any
influence upon Mr.. J. o. Carter, any
more than upon the political tramps"
who deliberately imposed upon the ig-
norance of the native people at Maui
during their recent visit to that island, as
set forth in their own report, by compar-
ing the debt and financial condition of
the Hawaiian Kingdom to Egypt, whose
finances are administered by an inter
national commission on behalf of the
bondholders.

Four years ago the Treasury was full of
money and the debt was small. To-day it
is without money and the debt is larger
than that of any country in the world.
Each one of them was individually respOn-
sibIe for that debt. There was a debt of
81 900 900, bearing interest of SIC, 900 year.
The debt upon the Government was
like mortgage upon a house. What had
been done to Kunuiakea recently would
happen to the Governments. o. Carter

In an excellent article on insects, pub
lshcd in the proceedings of the Fruit
Growers Association of Ontario, the
writer says that inscctivorous birds are
useful helpers to the cultivotor, although
not so important as insect friends. The
birds dcvour alike the useful and the in
furious, the one as readily as the other,
not being at all discriminating in this
very essential particular. He remarks:
Birds appear to do comparatively little
to keep down injurious insects; the even
balance between the useful and the nox-
ious species, when disturbed by the over
due accumulation Of the latter, is set
right mainly through the agency Of
friendly insects" The following useful
insects namcd The sand beetles, Of
which there arc number of species,
which are very active in their work.

body they deposit their eggs, and where
the future insects obtain their living

Farmers as Gardeners.

The remark is often made, says Ticds
Mgaginc, that farmers are poor garden
crs, and it is too true in most cases
Farmers families, as rule, are far more
poorly supplied with vegetables
than city residents. Not more than a
quarter of the farms in this region show
anything better in the way OF garden
produce than a little sweet corn
and some bush beans and few tomato
plants, and possibly even these last are
wanting. The field crop is depended
upon TO supply the potatoes that are
wanted, and perhaps some turnips will
be raised in the fall some years as a
second crop. What miserable showing
is this for those who arc situated so that
the choicest vegetables of the garden, the
various kinds in their seasons, might ap-
pear in abundance on their tables, pro
vided the necessary care and labor should
be given to produce them. But this
picture is not ovcrdrawn; it is, unfor-
tmatcly too true, and it is not less tue
that if we inquire about the family fruit
supply for country tables we shall find
this quite as deficient, or even more so.
There is no necessity FIR this condition
of things, and it is oppcseA both to the
physical and financial interests of these
families. No part of the farm can make
greater returns for The labor and other
expenditures than the vegetable. If we
inquire into the cause of their neglect,
we shall find, in many cases. that their
Importance is mcasurobly comprehended,
and the want Of them is felt, but the
labor and attention they require are some
what different from that Of the farm
crops, and, a,so the garden inter(crcs,
to some extent, with the farm work,
when it is not properly planned and
managed, as for thc mo t part it might
be. so as to cause little or no inconven-
icncc in the performance of the regular
work. And for this purpose we would
now ask our country and village readers,
who are directly interested, to give the
necessary thought for the preparation of
good garden, at this season of compar-
alive rest. What shall the garden con-
sist of! How add when shall it be pre-
pared! Who shall have the direct super
vision of it? These and ether questions
can be considered and decided upon, and
when the time Of acton comes there need
be no delay.

ly; he accepts the iron-plating of his
feet; and he allows the CALLING check
upon the movements of his head, and yet
gives man his best service, even to the
death. The ignorant smith has his views
as to what should be the shape of his
feet. So he cuts and rasps, and forms
them to suit himself lie has an idea
that the hoof is made on purpose for
him to rasp and shoe, and exercise all
the tools of his trade upon. So he makes
n shoe and fits the hoof to it, he removes
the natural polished exterior, which by its
tough elasticity defends the tender parts
from injury, is nearly impervious to wat
cr and permits little evaporation of
internal moisture, by which it is kept
normally plablc and vitalizcd to the very
surface. lie rounds and smooths off the
new surface leaves 1t in condition to
allow the moisture of the hool to pass off
rapidly, and the hoof to dry and crack,
and thus he recommends the application
of tar and grease and lamp-black, as if
he was trying to render an old boot PHI
able and prescntablc, The grcasing may
be well cnough--bettcr than nothing
after the mischief is done. But why do
sensible horseowncrs allow the evil which
their prcrcmptory orders, if not their
mere rcmonstranccs, would PREVENT

81 never look at tho nguro on the dome

the other day, "without feeling
sorry for the poor Goddess of Liberty,
Poor old lady, she's up there with little

head looks as if it was sinking further
and further down into her shoulders. l
remember the time when she was first
placed there. The figure WIS sent for
inspection before it was raised to its
place. and the committee in charge came
around to see it. Of course tic neck
was several feet in length, bccau,e the
statue is nineteen feet high, but, being
so near, the committee instantly protested
against the length, and what is worse
they actually ordered that several feet be
cut of of it, At first protest was
made against such thing, but the COM
mittcc said the neck was too long and it
had 10 be cut off. 1t was done. When
the artist heard of it it nearly killed him,
and no wonder. Look at the goddess
any time you have chance and see how
short her neck is
