Some persons are Of the opinion that the
first writing was upon thin pieces Of wood.
From their convenience this seems proba-
bic. Such boards were used at an early
period by the Greeks and Romans and
were frequently covered with wax, which
WAS. of course, more easily written upon
than the bare wood. Where wax was used
errors We're readily erased by rubbing with
the blunt end of the piece of metal which
served for q pen. To make the writing
more visible it appears that some black
substance was smeared over the surface OF
the white wax and remained IN the

THE REGISTRARSHIP.
Mr.. Geo. E. Smithies of the Interior
Department Appointed.

The office of Registrar of Public
Accounts, resigned by Mr.. F. S.
Pratt to take the post of Hawaiian
Consul General at San Francisco,
has been given by the Minister of
Finance to Mr.. Geo. E. Smithies.
1t only remains to have the prelimi-
naries executed, when the appoint
ment will be gazetted.
Mr.. Smithies has been clerk in
the Interior Department for the past
nine years, where he has risen nearly
to the top of the staff. He has
given thorough satisfaction to sue
cessive administrations, as well as to
the chief of staff, Mr. j. A. Hassin-
ger, while in his intercourse with the
public he has gained a favorable repu-
tation for courtesy, promptness and
efficiency. Mr.. Smithies bears char
acter in society above reproach, and
his promotion in public service fol
lows with agreeable aptness his recent
marriage. Being young Hawaiian
his appointment is commendable
instance of just policy on the part
of the Minister of Finance.
The position is highly RESPONSE
BILE one. Filled for many years by
Mr.. Pratt with marked ability, its
duties can hardly be expected to be
mastered in day by a new man
Yet Mr.. Smithies has had good
training for the. place in the office
he is quitting, and he will probably
not take long to acquire thorough
knowledge of the intricacies of the
treasury accounts. AS for devotion
to duty and fidelity to the Govern
ment, these are qualities of which
he has already amply proved him
self to be the possessor.
