chase of some of the best known and most
remunerative business enterprises In the

In spite of all the donials Of the pur-
chasors IL Is the general superstition that
the deals have been made with an idea to
forming gigantic trust of large share OF
the breweries in the country. The elevator
scheme and tiour-mill project seems to
have similar tendency A chain of
elevators from the Minnesota and
Dakota wheat districts to Chicago
would have an enormous influence
on the grain business and would give
the British syndicates immense advantages
in the export trade, which they could
utilize the better for their facilities in
using large quantities of the surplus wheat
in their own flour mills at Minneapolis.

The Oyster.

Oyster literature has been well
worked, and it is not necessary in an
apropos article like the present to re-
hearse all that has been said or could
be told about the bivalve from the
point of view literary man takes.
When, from a naturalist's stand
point, the oyster is surveyed, there is
something even yet to be said. The
hot day-for it must be hot day
when the mother oyster opens her
shell and the young ones escape from
it like a cloud or puff of steam,
would be a day to be remembered,
could that opening be observed. He
who saw it would also note that each
of the infant mollusks is provided with
swimming organs, and that they at
once begin to play around the mater
nal grotto. By and by he would note
the tide gradually drift the little crea-
lures away, and if not devoured by
the enemies which swarm around
them, they come to an anchorage at
some suitable spot. He cannot stay
TO observe the commencement OF their
shell making, but that goes on from
the moment they become attached to
their selected home. Year by year
they add q delicate rim of horn like
elastic substance which gradually
hardens. After five or six years of
this patient building the bivalve is
ready to be detached from his an.
choragc and served up with tho inevi-
table slice OF lemon, il raw, or go
through the asonies Of cooking.
That vigilant writer Shakespeare
has, naturally, something to say
about the oyster, as he has, indeed,
about everything In Much Ado
About Nothing" he thus introduces it
between the lips of Benedick: II will
not be sworn, but love may transform
me to an oyster; but I'll take my oath
on it, till he have made an oyster Of
me he shall never make me such
fool" Sheridan, in 'The Critic" says
IAN oyster may be crossed in love-"
But so many of the poets have evil
IDENTIFY an admiration for the bivalve
that it would be an endless task to
quote them. Thackeray, when asked
what he experienced after eating an
East river oyster Of enormous size,
gravely declared that he felt as if he
had swallowed a baby.
One thing the oyster enjoyed ages
before man discovered him for edible
purposes. He reveled in the splendid
secret Of the pearl. s. in New York

We cannot tell from the time tables
how fast we travel. The schedule
time does not indicate tho delays that
must be made up by spurts between
stations. The traveller who is curious
to know just how fast he is going, and
likes the stimulus of thinking that he
is in q little danger, may find amuse-
ment in taking the time between mile
posts; and whom these are not to be
seen, he can often got the speed very
accurately by counting the rails pass
ed in given time. This may be done
by listening attentivoly at an open
window or door. The regular clicks
OF the wheels over the rail joints can
usually soon be singled out from the
other noises and counted. The num-
Der OF rail lengths passed in twenty
seconds is almost exactly the number
OF miles run in an hour. But If one
wants to get q lively sense Of what it
means to rush through space at fifty
or sixty miles an hour he must get on
locomotive. Then only does, he
realize what trifies stand between IN
and destruction.
A few weeks ago lady sat an hour
in the cab Of locomotive hauling a
fast express train over a mountain
road. She saw the narrow bright
line of the rails and the slender points
of the switches. She heard the thun-
der of the bridges, and saw the trach;
shut in by rocky bluffs, and new per,
ills suddenly revealed as the engine
swept around sharp curves. The ex.
perience was 70 her magnificent, but
the sense Of danger was almost appal-
ling. To have made her experience
complete she should have taken one
engine ride ON dark and rainy night.
In daylight ride on locomotive we
come to realize how slender is the rail
and how fragile is its fastenings COM
pared with the ponderous machines
they carry.
We SEQ what trifiing movement Of
o switch makes tho difference between
life and death. We learn how short
the look ahead must often be and how
close danger sits on either hand. But
it is only in q night ride that we learn
how dependent the engineer must be
after all upon the faithful vigilance of
others. The headlight reveals few
yards of glistening rail and the ghost
ly telegraph pole sand switch targets.
Were switch open, rail taken up,
or pile of ties on the track we could
not possibly see the danger in time to
stop.-Scribner's Magazine.

REPLY TO M. C. CORREA.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-That very
weak article signed by Mr.. NJ. G.
Correa, of Hilo, which appeared in
Mondays issue of your valuable
"Daily," attacking the Portuguese
newspapers of Honolulu for daring
to oppose his patriotic scheme of
depopulating the islands, hardly
calls for reply-yet, as Il share
holder in the "Luso Hawaiiano," |
feel that his implied compliment to
our financial status is altogether too
tlattering to be passed without
notice. Mr.. Correa attributes our
opposition TO a morbid dread of
having to stop publishing the
"Luso," and thus relinquishing the
colossal income we have all been
deriving from this source since the
paper started!
Our printers are the only parties
who make living out of our paper,
(not an easy one either). Our sub
scription list includes pretty nearly
every possible subscriber in the
country, and our advertising columns
speak for themselves, thanks to the
liberality of our business conmu-
nifty; yet, we wish to assure Mr.
Correa that we have not made
nickel since we started and if we
have paid expenses it is because
much of the work is done free of
charge, and what salaries we do pay
are nominal, and in fact tIuctuate
according to the ebb and flow in our
treasure vaults.
When the present company took
charge of the paper they were quite
aware that assessments would be
much more likely than dividends,
but fortunately we have pegged
along SO far without either. The
"Luso" company is purely patrio-
tic. Nothing whatever but pure
patriotism called it into existence,
and its only object is to be of SER
vice to the Portuguese-Hawa
colony. We have always advised
our people to stay here and make
this country their country; we have
long since considered it our home,
and we think it is good enough for
them too. l might add that it has
proved pretty good country for
Mr.. Correa, who tried the States be-
fore he came here.
Mr.. Correa is an old friend of
ours and we wish he had gone into
any other speculation but this. 1t
is carrying unscrupulOusness too
far, to jeopardize the future of hun
dreds of families for the sake of u
few paltry dollars.
At the same time, the disastrous
results to the country, of such an
exodus as is proposed, can scarcely
be underestimated, and we do trust
that all reasonable measures will be
taken to induce the Portuguese al
ready here to stay; but suggest that
more be introduced, without delay,
to replace those already gone, and
that the Government proceed more
slowly with the japanese immigra,

WONDERFULLY TRAINED.

A year ago Helen kellar, a seven
year-old blind, deaf and dumb child,
was brought to this city from Ala
bama to be educated, if possible.
She has been in charge of teachers
at the Blind Asylum and has devcl-
oped wonderful powers of observa-
ton and extraordinary intelligence.
1t has been ascertained beyond the
possibility of doubt that Helen
has not the slightest perception of
light or sounds. She is totally blind
and deaf, but the acuteness of her
remaining senses, and especially of
touch and feeling, generally has
been brought to perfection by con-
stant exercise. She recognizes her
friends as soon as her fingers come
in contact with them, either with
their own hands OF their dress, and
not the faiutest odor escapes her
notice. She is pas-ionately fond of
music, and tells about going to
church to hear the organ. When
any one begins playing either organ
or the piano her brain is informed
of the fact by the vibrations of the
floor. She is very fond of dancing,
having learned it by feeling the
motions of the feet and the bending
of the knees of little companion
who was trying to teach her. Helen's
mind has developed remarkably dur
ing the past year. Her vocabulary
has increased to such an extent as
to comprehend more than 5000 words
which she can spell without mis-
take and employ accurately in COM
position. One thing that may be
mentioned as possessing peculiar
psychological interest is the fact
that her dreams, like those of all
other persons, are the result of the
spontaneous action of her mental
faculties. They are accurately mo-
deled on the experiences of her
waking life, producing sensations
similar in kind to those received in
her state of consciousness, but with
out order or congruity, because un-
controlled by her will. Physically
and mentally she is no way behind
any child in years. Chicago Her

SCARCITY OF WATER.

The scarcity of water is becoming
serious matter. Everybody knows
that the winter, so far, has been u
remarkably dry one. The rains
during the past summer were unusu-
ally copjous and pretty evenly dis
tributed through the season; but
the winter commenced dry, has con-
tinued so, and according to appear
ances is likely to keep on in the
same way TO the end. The whole
district is suffering. Taro and ba-
mana raisers, and, IN fact, all des-
criptions Of cultiyators, complain of
deficiency Of moisture, which, if
not shortly supplied by rain, will be
irreparably ruinous to them. OF
course, the city supply for domestic
purposes is proportionally diminish
ed, and unless the source itself be-
comes replenished from the clouds
in short time, an inconvenient
shortage will be the result. Under
the circumstances, it behooves the
holders of water privileges to be
careful and sparing in the use of
water. 1t is a fact that the irriga-
tion regulations are not strictly OBJ
served by all. The Superintendent
of Water Works has given due warn
ing, and it will be his duty to visit
with severity all offenders, He is
determined to do his duty in this
regard. Let this warning be taken
timely notice of.

THE WATER SUPPLY.

EDITOR BuLLrrIS:---t is stated
on good authority that unless good
rains should set in shortly in this
city, the Government will be neces-
stated to forbid all kind of irriga-
ton here within the space of one
week. Would it not be high time
to make u commencement immedi-
ately by stopping the irrigation of
all the thoroughfares in and about
this city, thus saving that amount of
water for future needs?
Also, would the Government not
be wise and perfectly justified to
place the artesian wells about this
city under some control and not fur
thcr allow that waste of valuable
water which is iniudiciously prac-
tised by thoughtless owners of such
wells? Y.

A., that we have q class of people
amongst us whose motto seems to be

Had he believed in himself he would

that the tolls of your fathers were
honest even to charging "a per cent.
but was it consistent for you either
from p political or religious point of
view to grant the Portuguese free
franchise. You certainly will not
object to taking in 1890 what you
granted so freely in 1887. They
may not be as ambitious as you was

They may be contented and you are
not, with part of your abundance.

TEACHING ENGLISH TO HAWAI-
lRMS,

EDIToR BULLETIN:-In your issue
of the 25th your correspondent
"Nerxes" opened an important
field for discussion to wit, "School
Matters Not being a school
teacher myself, and ignorant of the
statements he applied to the In
spector, / cannot endorse them, or
otherwise; but an inspector of
schools is a public servant, and as
such he cannot exercise personali-
ties between himself and the teacher
of private nature. As to the mode
of teaching, they may be various.
Looking from my own standpoint, l
suggest the following: A teacher
teaching English to Hawaiian chill
dren must know Hawaiian himself,
in order that he can make himself
understood. A teacher who does
not know word of Hawaiian may
as well talk and explain himself to
dumb animal, as to native children
who do not know a word of English.
He might as well teach them En-
glish through Chinese. And when
he wants TO explain an object which
he does not have in the room at the
time, l am at a loss TO know how he
can accomplish it. For instance, he
writes the word CAT ,and gets the
children to say it correctly, he be-
gins to explain it to them, what it
is, by saying that it is small ami
NAL covered with soft hair, has four
feet, (making motions as he goes
on) with claws, letc. ,.etc., and when
he gets through they will not know
any more about it than when he
commenced, and all his efforts and
wrigglings to and fro, and pointing
to every part of his person, from
hair to toe nail, will all be useless
and waste of time. But had he
known what it was in native, one
word of it, uttered in q second,
would accomplish the unaccomplish-
ed work of so minutes.
Again, translation is an import
ant study to advanced grades,
translating English into Hawaiian,
and Hawaiian into English, but how
can it be carried out if the teacher
does not know both languages
Summarizing these proofs of the
necessity of having teachers who
know native, agree with your cor
respondent when he objects to the
importation of teachers from abroad
when there are sufficient and better
teachers already at home.
Believing that it is enough for the
time being, / remain,
Yours truly,
