and the sea covered with feathery algeroba
trees, waving their soft branches like silk
en- scarf; tall cocoanut palms spreading their
green plumes above their yellow globes of
fruit outlined in dark silhouette upon the

es alternate with fish ponds and ridges of
banana trees: beyond is the harder, still and
blue with the ocean roaring and fretting
over the distant reefs at its entrance.
We have, In both schools, over hundred
boys. Their ages range from seven to twen-
ty and they represent every kind OF home
| from the sod covered native house to the
home of nobeman. Some of them did
not know when they came, how to sit in a
chair. And to be at table carefully laid
in white plates and shining knives and forks
was strange experience equalled only by
the novelty of sleeping in bed.
Hawaiian boys are very bright, especially
in number work, penmanship and drawing.
They have not the moral courage nor the
independence of character seen in our
American boys and they yield to bad iniu-
ences very easily.
The Hawalians are not rs they were in the
days when their warrior king Kamehameha

the Pail. Scarcely hundred years have
passed since then but each succeeding de-
cade has enfeebled the race. The nations

rear sons and daughters virtuously, who
can make homes and live in them. 1t is a
custom for mothers to give away their chill
dren and to rear child from some other
family. The little ones are moved about
until they do not know what home ties
mean.
Women, idle and thriftlcss, love to deck
themselves with wreaths of flowers and in
gaudy colored dresses and springing astridc
spirited horse dash through the city at an
alarming rate Of speed. Native men are
neither brave or ambitious. A taro patch

From tho xsmshsmshs School.

From letter received by Rev. j. Don
nelly from Miss Retta Hight, written at
Honolulu, we take the following extract:
On Tuesday, Oct. 9th, farewells We're
waved to friends; and having passed the
| Golden Gate, we took last look at Seal
rock and the distant spired hills of the port.
The voyage was uneventful, IL eight days of
| sea-sickness are less that an event. A fine
whale showed himself the first day and
| schools of flying fishes darted about, but for
six days we saw nothing but the blue sky
and the bluer sea. On the morning of the
10th, the far off peaks of Mani 10000 feet
in height came in sight, and two hours lat
er, tiny rim OF mist was shown at our
right and we were told that Oahu was sight
ed. How eagerly we watched while feature
after feature of the picture was brought out,
until Diamond Head was rounded and be-
fore us lay beautiful Honolulu.
Principal Oleson and several teachers met
me and l was soon riding through the
strange sights of Cosmopolitan city. Here
we passed beautiful residence smothered
in tropical foliage and bearing over its gate
the royal arms; there native quarter,
where tho women i'm holOlus, were sitting
cross-legged upon the ground braiding leis
or wreaths of flowers; farther OH, in China
town, there were queer little Chinese babies
with shaven heads and clumsy garments;
pretty women in their graceful white gowns
and men working in rice fields with their
strange Chinese bullocks.
About two miles out of the city, and over
looking it, We found Kamehameha school.
This is large property, consisting of sever
al hundred acres enclosed within strong
stone wall. The buildings have been erect
ed within the past two years and are neat
and commodiOus. There are two large dor
mitories, dining hall, principals residence,
teachers cottage, a bath house with large
tanks for swimming, and shops for the man.
