darker in color than the Hilo rock,
although its quality as a building
stone is equally good, aud there is
no reason why suitable kinds of rock
do not exist all over the islands,
in places on or near the surface.
This seems to us a matter which
has not received the attention which
its Importance demands: and the ad-
vantages of using native rock in our
buildings are so manifold and OBJ
vious that we need not enter into
their details. The question resolves
itself into one of cost only, and we
have strong hope that this obstacle
to general use of native building
stone may be soon removed.

YACHTING,

The subject of yachting in Hs-
waiian waters has recently attracted
considerable notice; and. in the
future, this pastime is likely to be
more largely followed by local gen
tlemen who are fond Of maritime
pleasures Of this nature. Broadly
speaking, there are no seas on the
globe that can tavorably compare
with those Of the Hawaiian King
dom. in the absence Of strong gales
and hidden dangers Of all kinds.
There are no sunken rocks nor shoals
to interfere with coastng trips. the
trade winds are generally reliable
and regular. and the surrounding
seas are remarkably smooth. The
courses Tor yachting also, are Of a
very varied nature; and, even in a
placid ocean the races or trips can
be made as excitable as may be
wished.
From Honolulu to Pearl River.
around Ford's Island. and back to
starting point, would afford the
necessary changes from plain sailing
to tacking, in which good seamanship
would be q valuable consideration,
and the sailing qualities Of the boats
could be tested under all conditions.
Then there are opportunities for
more extensive spins = such as trips
around Oahu. or Molokai, or any
other island Of the group. or the
whole group. There IS scarcely
limit 10 length or variety; but there
Is nearly always q tranquil sea, and q
steady breeze more or less strong.
Sometimes, Of course, there are calms
and light winds; but even these con
diuuns have their delights and uses.
the excitement may then
be less.
The temperature Of these latitudes
also has Its charms. andit Is infinitely
more conducive TO the comfort Of our |
than 10 those who plunge |
along the coasts Of more inclement f.
climes. 1t is possible in the near
future, that yachting may become /
one Of the national sports of Hawaii
nei; and, in any event, it Is certain
to become one Of the leading sports. !
For obvious reasons, no better or
1obler psstime can be had, or one
hat requires more skill and tact.

A RUBBISH BURNER.

In many of the cities of Australia,
and other warm countries, there are
what are known as rubbish destruc-
tors" or furnaces specially con-
structed for the destruction ofrefuse
and rubbish that accumulates in all
sorts of by-places in and around the
business portions. The general
plan of these "destructors," as they
are termed, is to have furnace built
under the surface of the ground with
an opening on top to receive the
rubbish which is dumped from the
rubbish cart. Above the fire-box
thereis an iron grating upon which
the rubbish rests, and on the side
there is a fue which leads to a
chimney for conveying the smoke.
When the fire is lighted the hole
at top is closed with an iron cover,
and the whole top made air tight.
The whole arrangement does not in
yolve very much expense; and this
consideration is. of course. proper
tionate to the size of the works
needed. 1t will be for the next Ha-
waiian Legislature to consider the
advisability of constructing furnace
of this kind in Honolulu; as it would
prevent, to large extent, diseases
that arise from rotting rubbish and
give less otfense to nasal organs that |
may be sensitive or delicate. The |
spreading out in waste places all |
kinds of rubbish from time to time, |
is not very nice to look at, and is
not in keeping with the age in which
We live. This may be question for |
the Board of Health to consider, and |
and we give our remarks in the way |
of suggestion only-in the hope,
however, that some improvement
may be made in the manner of de-
posting or destroying the rubbish
of the city.

HAWAIIAN BUILDING STONE.

Considering that most of the
material used in the buildings of
Honolulu and throughout the isl
ands, is imported and consequently
very much more expensive than in
countries where such material is
native and manufactured. it be-
comes an important question as to
whether there is or is not house
building material among the natural
resources of the islands.
In the meantime the materials of
iron and wood. used for constructive
purposes. must be imported; but
Hawaiian buildingston might be
used with advantage much more ex-
tensively than it is. and it has been
demonstrated that plenty of lime can
be made from the coral rocks which
are abundant on many parts of our
coasts. Regarding native building
stone. several experiments have been
already made; but in most instances
unsuitable kinds have unfortunately
been chosen.
The warehouse almost Immediately
opposite the workshop of Mr.. John
Mott, in kaahumanu street, is partly
built of Waianae sandstone, and it
has stood the test of over twenty
years exposure to the weather with
out showing any marks of decay or
deterioration. Captain Makee had
this material quarried from the Wal
anae sea-shore early in the sixties,
but the lack of proper facilities for
shipping and transit made the ex-
pense too great for bringing this
material into general use in those
days. Perhaps it might be advisable
TO get better facilities for shipping
this stone now.
The Lunalilo Home is built of
common red lava rock, obtained in
the immediate vicinity. which has
proved to be unsuitable building
and the Kawaiahao Church
is built of coral rock, material not
much in favor for building purposes. /
These, however. are only expert
ments which might have been car
ried farther with advantage. For
foundation purposes most of the rock
found upon these islands is suitable;
but the want is, stone sufficiently
good and of moderate cost, for the /
walls of the buildings-it being
settled fact that our clsys will not
make sufficiently good brick.
The recent excavations, conse-
luent upon the construction of the
1ew volcano road, near Hilo, have
,eyealed q tough. compact, and
rock that is well suited for
1t resembles blue
granite; but it is finer in the grain,
more easily cut and trimmed, and
.ould be laid down at Honolulu in
ut blocks for a moderate cost. As
building stone this Hilo rock is
to most kinds of granite,
'eing less brittle, finer grained, and
las rich lead colored appearance.
: similar rock crops out near Ka-
'ena falls. Oahu; but it is much !

FEMALE SEMINARIES.

notice Of the annual exhibition ot
the Kawaiahao Female Seminary
Every spectator must have shared

ment of the young ladies of this in.
situte. 1t IS not saying too much
that they would compare favorably
with those Of schools Of equal rank
in America or Europe. Their enun-
citation Of English cannot be expected
10 be perfect. for tits not their native
language. Yet some Of them spoke
so perfectly, that q stranger would
hardly have supposed they had not
been trained to speak English from
birth.
There Is one feature of the school
training which does not appear in
the public examinations educa-
ton for home life and duties. which
is unostentatiously carried on at
hswaiahao. Not only are these
young ladies taught the literary
branches Of vocal and instrumental
music, elOcution, etc, but they are
also taught TO cut and make their
own clothes and cook their own food.
This Is practical work, manual labor
training for the females, as much so
as education in the trades is for the
young men. It is fitting them for
Ete's duties. how to take care of
themselves, and become useful
hOusekeepers, and mgtrons, when
called to enter these spheres.
We would suggest to the teachers
that next year, they exhibit the
hsndiwork of their pupils, as well as
their literary accomplishments. Let
Us see the dresses which they have
made, the bread and biscuits and
cakes which they have cooked, or
any other evidences Of their educa-
ton for the home life. These will.
if they be what we hear they are, be
more convincing evidence of the
work that is being accom- |
plisbed at haSaiahao than the liter
ary exercises. delightful as they |
were.
Still another suggestion, and that
Is, to return TO the large church for

who wish may go and see the young |

Tor the time.

Mr. Cole, the antiquary, writing about
1850, said: "In my time. when was a boy
and lived with my grandfather in the great
corner house at the bridge foot, next to Mag
dalen college, Cambridge and rebuilt since
by my uncle, Joseph Cock, ] remember to
have seen a woman ducked for scoldins. The
chair hung by pulley, fastened to beam
about the middle of the bridge, and the wo-
man having been fastened in the chair she
was let under water three times successfully
and then taken out The bridge was then of
timber, before the present stone bridge Of one
arch was built The duclling stool was con.
stantly hanging in its place, and on the back
panel of it was an engraving representing
devils laying hold of scolds."
The illustrations given here are from Cham
bers' "Book of Days, " an ingenious publica-
ton, familiar to most journalists of the pres
emit day who delight to write of the quaint
customs Of former times, and to whom It is a
never failing standby. One of the cuts shows
ducking stool of somewhat different type
from that herein described, which was To-
Gated near the village well, in the cool depths
Of which the village scolds were won't to be
ducked.
Which fact, by the way, suggests parallel
between the Old World village Of the Eigh-
tenth century and the New World village of
the Nineteenth.

overcome. He had great speed, and soon
showed quarter in 3215 seconds, half in
1:06$& and several miles in 2:20 or better. T.
]. Dunbar took charge of Mr.. Gordon's
horses in 1885, and began working Clingstone
and Guy to the pole. The pair made their
first public appearance at Pittsburg in July,
when they started to beat 2:25. They trotted
the first mile in 2:27 and the second in 2:21.
One month later they were started to beat
2:19 over the Cleveland track, and succeeded
in trotting mile and repeat in 2:1715, 2:17.
The quarters in the second mile were finished
in 3455Ss., 3411Es., S4$sIs., S3J%s.
At Hartford the pair were started to beat
the team record, but failed, finishing the
three trials in 2:S2, 2:211E, 2:19 The quarters
in the third mile were finished in 3615s.,
34$$4s., 3415s., 335Iis. Three exhibition miles
were trotted at Springfield the following
week in 2:233[, 2:2411EE, 2:23.
In 1856 Splan conditioned Guy and drove
him in the Guaranteed stake at Detroit,
where, in the first heat, he finished third, VIII
ton winning in 2:1924. He was fourth in the
second heat, which was also won by Wilton
in 2:19]l, and he was distanced by bad act
ing in the third heat.
Soon afterward, however, Splan drove him
a mile barefoOted, hooked to a cart, over the
Cleveland track in 2:l7H. Last year he APP
peared on the track in Trainer Saunders
hands again, and met with much success,
though the thoroughbred blood that coursed
through his veins made him nervous and En-
ratio at times. At Cleveland, Aug 2, he
beat Fred Folger in three straight heats, the
time being 2:1S11l, 2:l9, 2:1SH. At Buffalo
he beat Prince Wilkes and Rosaline Wilkes,
and got mark of 2:141I. At Hornellsville
he beat the great demon Clingstone, and
later, at Hartford, he was started to beat
2:1455Ef, and failed in the attempt, though he
covered a mile in 2:151I
. At Springfield he failed in an attempt to
beat 2:15, yet few days later, at Morrisania,
N. Y, he beat a great field of horses and
won three straight heats in fast time. On
Sept. % he trotted a mile in 2:l21I at the
above mentioned place, and at Philadelphia,
a few days later, he beat Roselire Wilkes in
three straight heats At ST. Louis, on Oct
4, he won against Rosaline Wilkes and White
Stocking in 2:19, 2:1G and 2:1S1S, while at
Cleveland, Oct 90, he made a mile in 2:l2
Three days later he tried to beat 2:12, and
just equaled that work.
Last year he was beaten for big stakes at
Springfield, Rochester, Detroit and Hart
ford, but his defeat was not due to lack of
speed, but rather to his nervous and excit: DE
nature.
His 2:t1h performance at Cleveland,
few days ago, is still fresh in the minds of
the readers of this paper.
