HOME MISSIONS.

Interesting Items Regarding Protestant
Missionary Work in These Islands.
The Hilo Boys School <Hawaiian) has
now only thirty pupils. Mr.. Hotchkiss,
the assistant teacher, has resigned, and
returned to the States.
The Hawaii Island Association held its
meeting with the Helani Church near
Kailua, March 9th. Rev. O.P. Emerson
was present and reports an interesting.
and profitable meeting. Three new
students were examined for the North
Pacific Missionary Institute. Rev. E.
Bond has rented house for Rev. w. B.
Westervelt, and it is expected that he
will be stationed first at Kohala until he
shall have acquired the language, study
ing Hawaiian with Father Bond, and
becoming acquainted under his super
| vision with the characteristics and needs
of the Hawaiian people and churches.
| The East Maui Female Seminary, at
/ MakawaO, has reached critical point IN
| its history. Miss IL. E. Carpenter, for
| many wears the Principal, has felt con-
/ strained to tender her resignation. Few
] teachers have ever shown such affection
! for Hawaiian girls, or won SO fully the
| respect and confidence of the people.
/ The Trustees are seeking some suitable
person to take this important position.
! Hon. IL. Z. Baldwin has given 81 500 to
! the school, and arrangements are in pro-
| gress for bringing spring water on to the
! premises, building a telephone line, pro-
! curing an omnibus that will carry seven
teen persons, and making other needed
| improvements. Mr.. Baldwin will also
be responsible for the tuition of twenty
four new pupils, and an effort is to be
made to secure other such liberal aid fol-
worthy Hawaiian girls, whose parent;
cannot afford even the small sum of $50
which is all that is asked for board anC
tuition. The music teacher, Miss Wye

Miss Anderson, the new matron, is filling
her place successfully and acceptably.

THE DAILY
AN INSIGNIFICANT PARSONAGE.

If nobody cares a continental
what the editor of the ADVERTISER
thinks or writes" it is very curious
how much attention a good many
people consider it necessary to be
constantly bestowing upon that in
significant individual The journal
from whose columns we Gull the
above quoted remark, has not issued
a number for a good many days,
until yesterday, in which one or
more writers have not filed consid-
cradle space with uncomplimentary
remarks concerning our humble
selves. One author alone, supplies
regularly from one to three columns
q day, and a prominent feature OF
all his contributions has been a
series of very labored and elaborate
attempts to lampoon the editor OF
the ADVERTISER. We have no per
sonal complaint to make of the way
in which our neighbor sees fit to con-
duct his paper. We will assume
that it is all matter of taste, and
everybody knows that tastes differ.
Some persons are even said to prefer
putrid game and maggotty cheese to
good beefsteak and fresh vegetables
It does, however, seem little queer
that an individual for whose
thoughts and words nobody cares
continental" and who is so FIRE
queutly, and rather ostentatiously
declared to be of no account what
ever, should be constantly receiving
such voluminous, such earnest, and
such public attention. Naturally
being only human, we feel rather
fIattered, and hereby acknowledge
our obligations.

keys, and they are some

also cages as large as rooms, fitted
with swings, ropes and poles. In
these there will be from twenty to
thirty, and their action do not indi-

ALWAYS droll and cute, and these

The Zoo occupies a portion OF Re
gent Park, one of the largest parks
in London. 1t contains an artificial
lake. quite high hill near its centre,
and splendid roads, that traverse its
length and breadth, winding through
shady places and in their sunny
WAYS, bordered with beds of brilliant
flowers. London is rich in parks.
HYDE Park is one of the most fire.
quented and lively places in London.
1t is provided with many entrances
for carriages as well as pedestrians,
and the throng that daily courses
through the beautiful drives and
walks can not easily be estimated.
From early morning till late at night,
are the seats filled, the lawns dotted
with people lounging on the grass,
and the Serpentine (artifclal river)
alive with boats. This is the sum-
mer sight. Winter brings skating
and probably less lounging on the
lawns. The famous Rotten Row.
is a track reserved exclusively for
riders. 1t is parallel to one of the
main drives and is about Il miles
long. While the carriage drives are
as smooth and firm as house floors,
| Rotten Row has for its top finish a
| finely pulverized condition of soil,
about ] in. in depth. This is for the
sake of the horses feet which would
| be injured on the hard roads II
speeded thereon. Splendid pieces
of statuary occupy prominent places,
and flowers and shrubs add their
charms. Grand old trees in fine
avenues and in groves, complete the
rural delights of this city resting
place. What is true of one of these
beautiful parks is true Of all.
The Kensington Gardens adjoin
HYDE Park. ST. James is not
far away. Each has some dis
tinctive feature in its ornamental
ton, but all are for the people, and
tie people enjoy them heartily. In
going about this great and busy
city, where houses almost overlap
one another, and so often over
shadow as well, it is a surprise tc
come upon such extensive parks
39.4OO acres in size. These are al
the country" that the poor people
can have, but they are grand institu
tions, for they have all the element:
of fresh air, forest shade, summe
flowers, boating (even bathing a
certain hours), and are all reached
. with little trouble and no expense
Besides the parks are squares
without number, which are largD
gardens in the midst of a square o.
houses, whose occupants have acces
to the same, and where little chill
dren are safe from the incessan
travel on the streets.

LETTERS yRoA THE OLD COUNTRY



Well, dear friends, we have only
time left for a short walk about
London, and then all the many,
many things left unseen and untold,
we hope you may all enjoy for your
selves at no distant day First of all
let Us go with the children to the
Geological gardens. These occupy
a portion of Regents Park, and are
known In London as the Zoo. the
houses and homes Of the different
representatives of all forms Of ami
NAL life, are scattered about among
/ lovely beds Of flowers and shrubs,
and well kept walks lead from one
department to another Many of
the birds have large spaces enclosed
with fine wire net, which afford them
quite stretch for their wings. All
the water fowl have ample water ac-
commodations, but alas for the wild
gazelle and bounding antelope, they
can only dream Of freedom. The
lion house has great attractions for
all visitors. Here are lions, tigers,
panthers, hyenas, and puma, and it
Is surprising how unwilling any one
OF the great crowd of daily visitors
would be to grant them more free
dom than they now possess! One of
the great lions was IN very bad
humor the other day, and vented his
rage upon the keeper every time ne
passed by the cage. He growled,
snarled, spit, and dashed against the
bars, as if to annihilate him Three
of the lions lifted up their voices
simultaneously and roared, and it
was blood curdling! Fascinating as
it is to watch these great creatures,
and to see them feed, we shall all
enjoy a visit to the seal pond
Herein this huge tank lives an edu-
Gated seal. The keeper says he was
slow to learn, but patience and per-
severance have accomplished great
things. 1t is time for his dinner,
and round and round he goes, lifting
up his head to see if his keeper is
coming. When he sees him he clam
bers out of the water on to the
edge of the pond, which is cemented.
be kisses the keeper, and then when
given an order, instantly obeys He
dives into the water and reappears
beside the wooden platform in the
centre of the pond. Upon this he
chambers, and then into chair fast
ened upon the platform, drawing his
tail up and sitting on it, and resting
his fippers on the back of the chair.
In this position he catches all the
food tossed him by the keeper from
the farther side. Obeying a further
order, he climbs up an incline plane
to little balcony, from wh.5h he
dives to catch the food thrown to
him. This performance is repeated
several times, and old and young
enjoy it greatly. There are birds and |
animals of all kinds to be found |
within these grounds, but we have
only time to stop at the monkey |

ties OF the insect parasite known as
aphfs. Rose bushes and other flow
erng plants in gardens, as we'll as
shrubbery, and even some kinds of
trees, both fruit and ornamental. are
attacked by this minute, but form
liable enemy, and unless means are
taken IN time to check its ravages.
the leaves wither and fall off, fruit
and flowers fail, and ultimately the
whole tree or plant succumbs.
OF the pest known under the gen
erai name given above. there are a
considerable number Of species and
varieties. Those operating at the
present time in and around Homo
lulu may be divided into two gen
eral classes, the white and the black
or brown. The white appears more
especially on the stems and twigs of
plants, or on the ribs Of the leaves,
having the look of small specks OF
mould or when aggregated in con
siderable masses, resembling tuIts
and punches of fine cotton wool.
The black or brown varieties seem
to be more common on trees and
large shrubs, and to affect chiefly
the leaves, preferably on the under
side where they appear as dark spots
and patches of dull and dingy as
pect. A keen eye, or a magnifying
glass of low power, is sufficient to
reveal their true character.
The following is endorsed by those
who have given it fair trial, as an
effective, and by no means expensive
method for disposing Of the aphis
and all his works. The white varie-
ties are the easiest dealt with. One
ounce of crude carbolic acid dis
solved in a bucket of water, and APP
Piled TO the affected plants every
day, by means of garden syringe,
will, in few days, give this kind
their quietus. The dark kind re-
quire somewhat stronger medica-
ton. For these, there should be
from pound to a pound and a half
of common brown or soft soap dis
solved in bucket of water, and an
ounce of carbolic acid added to the
solution. This may, if preferred, be
applied with a large brush, sDatter-
ing it on pretty freely, and painting
it, so to speak, on the stalks and
Perseverance in this
course will ensure the desired re-
suit.
The above is not theory, but the
reported experience of reliable wit
nesses who have given the measures
recommended a personal trial. We
are we'll aware that we are telling no
more than is known to some people,
out we are satisfied that there are a
great many of our residents whose
