SCHOOL"
School is II place where girls and boys
go to get an education, therefore it is
very necessary to got to school; if girls or
boys do not go to school, they grow up
in Ignorance and when out in company
they do not know how to talk proper, or
if they work they do not know how
much money they have earned. fla
person does not go to school they do not
know how to read, write, or spell, which
all people ought to know how to do.
First, when a child is six years ofage, he
starts to school and learns his alphabet,
then, he learns to spell and read, then he
is ready to begin work. He learns to add
and subtract. (which is also very neces-
sary) and he studies grammar, history
and geography. They go through all
the courses of a common school, then
are ready for higher school which is
sometimes an Academy and learn all the
courses there and go to the College.
They are ready to teach school or go into
business, either commercial or profess
sional. ANGIE Brooks.

TRIP TO MExICo.
One day had the curiosity to go to
Mexico, so | went by the cars to New
York, and then on board steamer.
We sailed south for Il while, till we
came to the southern point of Florida
then entered the Gulf of Mexico and
soon arrived at Vera Cruz.
There we landed and looked about us
for three days to see what was 60
ing on. We saw the markets were full
of fruit such as, bananas, oranges, pine
apples, lemons, and many others that
grow in the Torrid Zone.
We noticed that the natives fried some
of the bananas, while somethey ate raw.
The three days being up, we took the
cars to Mexico City.
We found the climate much cooler
there because Mexico City is 1000 feet
above the level ofthe sea. 1t is largest
city in the country.
While there, We viewed the large vol
cano of Popocatapetl or Smoking Noun
tain.
We saw many beautiful birds, although
none of them sang as sweetly MS our
Northern birds.
As the time was drawing near for our
departure, we took the cars, and in q few
days, we were safe in our own home
again. Composed by

the TOBACCO HABIT.

Such is the statement of DR..

81 do not believe there is any
more harm in smoking cigar or pipe
after eating than there is in drink
ing tea or coffee. Any luxury car
red to excess carries with it a pen

that smoking acts as sedatiye and
equalizer Of the temper, assists

be discarded"
So says DR.. A. f. Adams of Dan

can be no doubt as to whose view
is nearer the truth. The broad

tradicted not only by general exper-
fence, but by the updoubted fact
that such countries as Germany and
the United States, two nations which
are certainly not suffering from de-
cadence, consume three or four times
more tobacco per capita than do the
Spaniards or Italians, nations Of by
no means so vigorous vitality.
The real facts as to the influence
of tobacco on the health are fairly
we'll established, and the occasional
outburst of anti-tobacco fanaticism
does not affect received medical
opinion. Tobacco is pernicious to
growing children. Used in moder-
alton, the majority of healthy adults
can smoke it without harm. 1t does
not in these shorten life or produce
degenerative changes. Nearly one
half of Professor Humphreys col
lection Of centenarians were to-
bacco-users. 1t is particularly
harmless to those who live outdoors
and engaged in physical work. II
is particularly apt to injure those
who live indoors. The worst feature
about its use is the difficulty some
persons have in smoking in modera-
ton. This is especially true of
brain-workers, and it is for this rea-
son that physicians never advise the
requirement Of the tobacco habit.
But among the great mass of work

THE PLANTERS MONTHLY.

The April number of this publ
cation is now out, and like its pre-
decessors is replete with information
for planters and others. Among the
more noticeable articles may be men
toned one on Hawaiian trade and
Commerce for 1887, which contains
some valuable statistics, taken from
the Collector-General of Customs
report; also one on coffee culture,
which embraces part of the pros
pectus of the company being formed
for the cultivation of coffee, in which
are given the number of trees that
can be profitably planted to the acre,
the average yield per tree, and the
price per pound of the product. A
valuable paper on the "Chinese pro-
blem" contains some wholesome sug-
gestions in regard to checking this
class of immigration. There are
also other articles, both contributed
and selected, on various subjects
which are worthy of perusal.

ONE or TWO QUESTIONS.

EDITOR BULLETIN Through the
columns of your journal allow me to
ask one or two questions, which a
remark in your issue of the 18th in
slant calls for.
Mr.. L. r. Walker was gazetted as
"Ier Britannia Maiesty's Acting
Vice-C Consul instead of " British
Acting Vice-C Consul" by the Hawai-
ian Foreign Office. This was, of
course, a blunder of that Office, as
everybody knows the appointment is
made by the British Commissioner,
and approved by Her Majesty's
Government. But why was Mr..
Walker not at once appointed Vice
Consul, as Mr.. Davies resignation
was called for before he left Homo
lulu, although he did not tender it
to Major Wodehouse, preferring
perhaps to hand it himself, when
convenient, to the Foreign Office in
London, ignoring thereby the re-
preventative here, whose appoint
ment alone he holds?
This slight, Mr.. Editor, we Brit
ishers do not like or approve to oul
representative, and regret that Mr.
Davies, who has had already ex.
hausted two years ''leave of alb
sence," and is again gone on another
two years. visit, should not have
handed in his resignation volun
tarily, instead of putting himself il
the position of being asked to do so
Besides, it is understood that Mr.
Davies, before leaving here, accept
cd from the Hawaiian Ministers the
appointment of Hawaiian Consul
General in London, his commission
only requiring the Kings signature
which signature His Majesty justly
and wisely declined, not wishing tt
recall His representative at the Cour
of st. James without good reason
assigned. What position, therefore
does Mr.. Davies hold?
