/ proposed by heads of departments, may
also present their application and claims
to the Civil Service Commissioners, to
be duly considered by them. No new
appointments of any kind shall be final
until after six months service, under
probation, with half pay.
This section, it will be seen, does not
I say-does not even hint-that the per-
son having the highest marks shall re-
ceive the appointment 1t does not even
hint anything Of the sort Moreover, it
does not require the examination OF all
candidates, but only OF those proposed
by heads of departments. There is no
thing in the proposed law to prevent the
Commissioners picking up any party
adherent, any drunken ruffian, Tor that
matter, and making him clerk in the
Interior Department.
Neither is this glazing absurdity of the
bill due to the loose, careless and uncer-
tain manner in which it is drawn. This
charitable construction-gladly as we
would entertain it's excluded by the
last sentence of the preceding section
,Sec. 49,, which expressly provides
that |" in case of new appointment,
preference will be first given to the
Hawaiian born, and, secondly, to the
naturalized foreigners and denizens in
proportion to the length of their resi-
dence in the country" This is princi-
pie OF selection which has nothing in
common with examination, and, indeed,
is as far as possible from the merit sys-
tenn. Apart from this solitary limitation,
everything in the matter OF appointments
is left to the arbitrary will of the Com
missioners.
1t is unnecessary to pursue the matter
further into detail. The bill contains a
number of other features, good as well as
bad, which it would be superfuous to
comment on at present. Enough has
been said to justify our sweeping con-
domination of the measure. Our criticism,
it should be observed, is not aimed at
matters of detail, but gees to its very
essence.
Our statute books contain many
strange things, but nothing, it is safe to
say, So absurd, so BIZARRE" as this

How the schools are CIassed,

How the Schools are Classed.
Mr.. EDITOR: 1 find that there is
some misapprehension among people
as to the various classes of schools.
In the report of the Board of Edu-
ton they appear under the titles of
Common, English and Independent
These designations date back to the
time when Government English
Schools were first established in the
country.
The Government Common Schools
are those taught in the Hawaiian
language, the Government English
Schools are those taught in the Eng
lish language, and the Independent
Schools, some of which have been
assisted by the Board in capitation
grants and repairs to buildings, etc.
The Government Common Schools
are SO in number and have 1853
pupils. The Government English
Schools are 81 in number and have
6,575 pupils. The Independent
Schools are 66 in number and have
1858 pupils. The first two sets of
schools are supported entirely by
the Government. The latter are
supported by various means and
occasionally receive grants from the
general fund appropriated by the
Legislature. Yours faithfully,
ALATAU T. ATKINSON,
Inspector Gen1. of Schools.

The Potato.

Potato crop always pays for good,
clean, constant cultivation, says the
Western Rural. AS the potato sea-
son is short, the crop should be push
ed as rapidly as possible. Some peo-
pie begin cultivation even before the
plant appears above the ground, and
it is good plan, especially if the
weeds begin to show themselves.
Cultivation should be continued until
the vines cover the ground, provided
it is necessary to keep the land clean.
Different degrees of cultivation, per-
hays, but even in a dry season when
the weeds are not as aggressive, stir
ring the soil and keeping it in fine
condition is to assure a greater degree
of moisture. So perhaps the rule laid
down should be constant cultivation.
After horse cultivation is no longer
practical, the weeds, il they start,
should still be kept out, and it must
then be done by hand. A potato
field filled with weeds can not pro-
duce as good a crop OF potatoes as it
would if the weeds were not there.
After the potatoes are in blossom there
is an idea that the weeds can not hurt
the crop, but that cultivation will. 1t
is a big error.
If it were not q fact that weeds
must be supported by a soil that
should be made to devote its entire
strength to the potatoes, it would be
true that it would cost more to har-
vest the crop, whenth field would be
full Of weeds; and more than that and
worst of all, is the seeding Of the
ground to weeds for the next season,
and the expense of keeping them
down. Whoever is an implacable en-
envy to weed under all circumstan-
ces, is an excellent friend to himself
and practices economical farming.
The potato beetle, Of course, will
be on hand for its share of the crop.
Season his meal with Paris green,
being careful not to make the mix
ture roo strong. 1t is the bugs you
want to kill and not the vines. The
quantity Of Paris green that will set
tie bug is exceedingly small. Hence
there is no necessity Of a strong mix
ture. One of our most prominent
farmers and agricultural writers has
not used Paris green, however, for a
number of years. He cultivates twice
a week, and attaches TO the end OF
the single-tree a light brush. This
brushes off the beetles ahead of the
cultivator, and many of them are
killed. But the Paris green diet is by
all odds the most efficient of anything.
Push the growth as much as possible
and sprinkle with Paris green.

Firminq the Soil.

One item in securing good germi-
nation Of the seed is contact with the
soil. But this must not be so close as
to exclude the air. Ii the soil contains
an excess of moisture when the seed
is planted and the soil is pressed down
upon them after planting, it is very
often the case that the seed will rot ;
when, if the soil is left little loose
so that the air can penetrate and
reach the seed, good termination
OF the seed would be secured. Some
thing depends upon the land and con-
ditions Of the soil whether or not firm
ing should be done after planting,
and to say that the soil should always
be firmed after the seed is planted,
would undoubtedly prove loss in
many cases.
Often when it would be unadvisa-
bic early in the spring to firm it it
would be the best thing to do later
on after the soil got warm and drier.
A light, foamy soil will need firming
when stiff clay will not.
1t is only in exceptional cases that
firming should be done with the earli-
est planted seeds f.; while on the other
hand late planted seed will.nearly al
ways be benefited by firming. This
applies to nearly all kinds Of seeds.
Corn and potatoes if planted early,
unless the soil is in better condition
than the average, firming should not
be done. But later on after the soil
gets more thoroughly warmed up,
firming is most always beneficial to
both of these crops.
With many of the seeds in the gar
den that at best need only light Gov
ering and that are not usually planted
until after all anger Of frost is past,
firming can be done with profit. But
to press the soil down upon them if
planted early when the soil is usually
wet and cold, would prove disastrous.
A quicker and better termination
can nearly always be secured if the
soil is well firmed with all the late
planted seeds, especially if the wealth
err is dry. A certain amount OF moist
ure as we'll as heat is necessary to in
duce termination with all seed, and
late planted seeds can often secure
this much better if the soil is firmed

The short crop Of ice, owing to the
phenomenally mild winter, has given
an impetus to the manufacture of ice
making machines and mechanical re-
frigerators. These machines have =
tanned great perfection within the
last ten years, says the Scientific
American, and are extensively used
by hotels, breweries, abattoirs, pack
ing houses and steamers, and, in fact,
wherever the purchase Of natural ice
has become prime necessity Of econ
omy This season has more than
doubled the demand for these ma
chimes 1t is now asserted that it will
not be long before all ice used in tn e
hot and mild climate will be manufac-
tured and at a price not exceeding
$3.50 per ton. There is this to be
said of manufactured ice, moreover
it can be made absolutely pure
