The report of the Superintendent
of the Insane Asylum, for which a
good deal of space is given in this
issue, records Improvements in the
buildings and management of that
institution of a most gratifying de-
scription. After years of complaint,
some of it being voiced in the former
Government organ, the disgrace of
having no superintendent or attend
ance of their own sex for female
patients has been obliterated Other
humane innovations have been intro
duced, the separate and combined in
huence of which cannot but have
very valuable sanatory effect upon
the unfortunate inmates. DIR. Tuck
er's suggestion that the public should
be invited to make contributions of
attractive literature and decorative
art, to cheer the gloomy and quiet
the restless spirits within the Asy
walls, will undoubtedly receive a
hearty response in keeping with the
high reputation of the community
for practical sympathy with dis
tressed humanity of all classes.
Whatever will assuage in any degree
the peculiar misery of the patients
cannot but assist the process of cure
in cases where such is possible.
At this writing we have not means of
looking up the record, but we believe
that this is the first time in many
years that there has been an official
exhibit of the status and conduct of
the Insane Asylum presented to the
public. Of course we except the re-
cent report of an investigating com
mission. Therefore, the mere fact of
a superintendent Report seeing the
light is not the least gratifying fea-
ture of the present publication. The
mystery that has heretofore shrouded
what proves to have been a scandal
GUS state of affairs, in connection
with this institution, it is to be hoped
is swept away forever, carrying with
it gloomy suspicious that the groves
of Palama conceal a madhouse trans
planted from medieval times, instead
of hospital for the cure of the hope
full and the care of the hopeless in
sane, conducted on the principles of
enlightened, humane benevolence,
and by the most successful methods
Of modern science in that regard.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

A GAIN of ten per cent. in the yield
of sugar has been obtained on ~
Governor Warmouth's plantation,
Louisiana, by the Government diffu-
sion experiments as compared with
results of other processes.
A FRESNO, California, paper, which
had been setting forth the value Of
ramie production as a new industry,
now records the success Of 10000
plants set out by a farmer of that
place. The Pacific Rural Press is also
agitating the production of ramie. 1t
looks as if these Islands have to face
competition from California at every
turn, but in the case of ramie we btl5e
a little the start.
The New Zealand Herald Of De-
cember 31st contains despatch from
London, the same as other Colonial
papers, the substance Of which is in
cluded in the following editorial item.
THE threatened revolution at Homo
lulu has been ayerted by the action
OF the commanders Of the British and
American warships stationed there.
They threatened to land q force
should the natives revolt, with
the result that the Kings party
refrained from taking the course
which they were meditating, and thus
a step which would undoubtedly have
given rise to serious and probably
far-reaching complications has hap
PLY been rendered unnecessary. 1t
is evident, however, that the position
OF affairs at the Sandwich Islands Is
very critical"

on. We rushed down to the fourth floor, and there saw the whole senior class march ing in tull dress with music from every kind of instrument though perhaps noise would be more truthful term to apply to the sounds they made. Their costumes were elaborate, and were one mass of color. The flags were very impromptu and were car- ried as umbrellas or any available stick Soon the whole college was aroused, the crowds of girls followed the seniors as they paraded through the corridors When 8 Republican flag went by, all the Republicans would hurrah and then at the appearance of Democratic flag the, Republicans would keep silent, and all the Democrats would shout.
 In all the classes Republican clubs are be- ing organized and party spirit runs high. The freshmen have a Republican club of about forty members. The uniform con- sists of full skirt of bright red cambric and plain white waist with several yards of red, white and blue cheese cloth for drapery. The caps are made of striped ma- terial fitting tightly to the head and then extending below the waist and gathered at the end. Next week there will probably be parade of all the classes. The Democrats, who are decidedly in the majority, have kept very quiet about their plans and we expect to be startled by something very bright from them.

an Ever Welcome Theme.
 From the New York Observer.1
 stHome! It is @ charmed word. Through h that one syllable thrill untold melodies, the laughter of children, the sonnd of we'll known footsteps and the voices of undy- ing affection Home? hear in that word the ripple of meadow brooks in which knee deep we waded, the lowing of cattle coming up from the pasture, the sharp hiss of the scythe amid thick grass, the creaking of the hay rack where we trampled down the load. Homel Upon that word there drop the sum- shine of boyhood, and the shadow of tender sorrows and the reflection of 10000 fond memories. Homel
 'When see it in book or newspaper that l word seems to rise and sparkle and leap and thrill and whisper and chant and pray and | weep. It glitters like shield. It springs up like fountain. It thrills like song. It twinkles like 8 stsr. It leaps like flame. l It elbows like a sunset. It sings like an angel. And if some Photographer, urged | on by 8 spirit from beneath, should seek to ] cast forth that word from the language the | children would come forth and hide it under parIands of wild flowers, and the wealthy | would come forth to cover it up with theiI | diamonds and pearls; and the kings would hide it under their crowns, and after Herod | had hunted it's life from Bethlehem to Egypt, | and utterlyly given up the search, some ! bright, warm day it would flash from ameng the gems, and breathe from among the now | CTS, and toss among the coronets, and the 1 world would read it bright and fair and | beautiful and resonant as before.

QUITTING A FIvE-POINTED STAR.

Read the Directions i'm this Article ana
 you can Cut One.
 From the Chicago Herald.l
 "Do you know how to make the stars on the star spaugled banner2" inquired gentle man who sat at his desk with a piece of waste note paper and scissors in hand.
 Couldn't cut one that would look re- spectable to save myselfJ' said his eom- panion.
 Well, there's nothing easier, and don't think there's anything patriot ought to know better. It may seldom come of use, but it's highly patriotic. In Preble's- "His- tory of the American Flag" may be found a statement of the effect that the committee of congress appointed to report design for the national ensign called upon Mrs. Rose, dealer in regalia and fancy goods in Phila- de1phia, for suggestions in their work. This lady was possessed of excellent taste in all matters pertaining to her business, and was withal an ardent patriot. The story goes that while talking with the members of the committee she so folded a sheet of paper as that by single clip of the scissors she cut ive-pointed star. It is stated by others that the committee greatly pleased with the ingenuity displayed as with the symmetry of the design and readily 8QOpt6u HIS WAS III 1tIO buu ever since that time the i've pointed star has ap- peared in the blue field of our country's flag. Neither Prebie nor any other authority tells how Mrs. Ross folded the paper, and in the absence of information one will find it a rather difficult feat to accomplish. Once known, the process is very simple. Take a sheet of paper of any size and fold it once across. Then take fold at right angles to this, merely for the purpose of determining the center of the paper. Throw the sheet back upon the single fold and let the center point be the point of triangle when all the | folding is completed. It must be under- stood that to have 8 ive-pointed star there ! must be one single and two double folds, | the folds being made outward from the center point. This single fold should be made to point about four-ffths of the dis | tance to the middle line made when the cen- ter of the paper was determined. The first ! double fold is made by folding the further side of the sheet as it is left after the single | fold back upon the outer edge of the latter. | The second double fold is then made by | folding what is now double upon what Is | triple. To obtain the star, now make cut ! with scissors on straight line diagonally | across from the apex to the extreme outer lower point of the fold. The cut may be made from either regular side of the triangle: 1 The eye must be the guide as to acuteness or l obtuseness of the angles of the star. A very | little practice will soon enable one to cut | one Of these stars with entire accuracy. l Comparison of star so made with geo. ! metric star will show it to be far more sym \ metrical and graceful than the stiff, mathe- | nautical product.
