THE CHILD GARDEN.
Growth OF Mission Kindereartens
in Honolulu.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is certainly an
encouraging sign that amidst the
stirring events of the past few
months, notwithstanding all the
strain and tension in political and
public life, there has been most
interesting development Of the kim
dergarten idea here in Honolulu.
This speaks we'll for the general
peace Of the community and for
the spirit of good will and kindli-
ness which here prevails, and which,
even though great differences of
opinion exist, still flows as strong
and healthy current through the
complex national life of the city.
Every thoughtful student Of edu-
cational growth knows that no de-
partment of teaching is necessary
at the present time more enthusi-
astic and conscientious attention
than that of the kindergarten. This
beautiful evangel of childhood,
proclaimed by its loving apostle,
Froebel, has reached us here, and
some of US feel that it has come to
stay.
During the past year, and es-
pecially the last four months it has
been gaining ground. till today we
have the pleasure of seeing in active
and harmonious operation four
mission kindergartens one for
Hawaiians, one for Chinese, one for
Portuguese, and one for Japanese
children. These schools are under
the general charge of the Woman's
Board of Missions, and each has
its committee of friendly ladies and
is under the care of a teacher well
fitted for the work. During the
comparatively brief time since this
work began there have been con-
nected with these different schools,
for longer or shorter time, some
155 little ones, and there are now
106 in regular attendance. To
morrow, Friday afternoon, June 9,
from half-past two to four o'clock,
these different schools will be gath
cred at Queen Emma hall and will
there engage in their kindergarten
work, play their games and will
sing their little songs. Anyone in
terested in this new movement will
be cordially welcome at that time
and it will afford the different COM
mittees and the lady teachers much
pleasure to receive visitors of all
nationalities.

A Hopeful Forecast,

The following paragraphs from a
private letter written by a gentle
man residing in Boston, who has
opportunities to learn the drift of
public sentiment in the United
States, convey hopeful issue for
the great question of annexation,
which for the time being is in abey-
ance and will most likely remain
so till autumn:
"The question of annexation has
been quite strongly discussed here
and the pros and cons have had it
earnestly. There are those who
cling strenuously to the 'Munroe
doctrine, and say hands off; others
oppose it on account of your hetero-
genous population, so lily adapted
to become American citizens and
assimulate with our people.
"On the other hand, there are
many who favor annexation as the
proper thing for the United States
to do. We need the islands for
strategic purposes, for commercial
purposes, and, not least, to recog-
nize the growth of American ideas,
as exemplified in your people ask
ing for it, as the product of the in
fuence of our institutions that have
impressed themselves on your peo-
pie.
at begins TO appear that the
present administration will be COM
mitted to one INSTRUMENTATION /;
and the latest advices from Mr..
Blount seem to foreshadow such a
conclusion. And when that is an
nounced by President Cleveland, l
predict that all croking will cease
and a general acclaim will follow
the act"

THE DIFFERENCE.

Our friends the royalists claim
to be at a loss to know how the
Provisional government was able
to raise $125,O0O without following
the old royalist method of mort
gaging everything in sight, and
spending it before the notes fell
due. They declare they are greatly
worried lest the money which went
to Mr.. Spreckels and London is an
advance upon the taxes of the
country. Will some of the royalist
inanciers, who so nearly ruined
the credit of this country, please
explain what kind of public loan
it is that is not an advance upon
the revenue of the country in some
shape or other ? Was Mr.. Spreckels'
loan otherwise, or the London loan
of 100000 (the royalists
wanted $1O,OOO,OoO), or would any
loan of gold coin to pay either of
these be anything else than money
advanced upon the estimated future
revenues ? The pathetic cry" of
the royalis!s reminds one of the
querulous regrets of the over-confi-
dent politician who finds that,
through his own laundering, he has
lost the political "pay lead" that
had become indispensable to his
lazy existence under the monarchy.
Then there was credit and bank
ruptcy; now, there is economy and
solvency.

The Colorado" Lubricating
Oil has met with such pheno-
minal success that manufac-
turers in the East have
initiated it as to name and
have tried to do so in quality.
This fact prompted us to have
the name registered as a Trade
Mark so that dealers as we'll
as consumers on these islands
could be protected. We are the
sole owners of this brand OF oil,
and it can be purchased only
from us. That it has been
initiated in the United States
is proof sufficient that it is a
superior quality of oil. Every
engineer who has tried this oil,
has expressed himself as being
highly satisfied with it's quality
and effects.
The season for Aermotors
and garden hose is with US
again, and we are prepared for
the attack. Our stock of Gard
en- Hose comprises all sizes of
plain and wire bound of a
superior quality and which we
can recommend to you. If you
wish to add to the life of the
hose, there IS no better way OF
doing it than by adding a hose
reel to your list of lawn i'm
plements. The celebrated Cal
ifornia sprinklers are better
made now than ever before.
Aermotors are in demand by
plantation managers who wish
to irrigate their lands at a
trifing expense. Last week
brought us an order for two of
the largest size, one for Kauai
and the other for Laie. This
article of machinery seems to
be growing more popoular
every year. If you need a small
one for your house, we will be
glad to supply you.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

New York has followed the ex-
ample set by California and passed
a law to severely punish any news
paper proprietor or editor who mis-
represents the circulation of the
journals they control. The law is
a good one and looks directly to the
protection of the advertising class !;
it will protect as well reputable
newspapers from the unfair compe-
tition of those who have no scru-
piles in misrepresenting their circu-
lation in order to attract advertis-
ing patronage. Such a law would
be a good thing for this country.

The splendid performance of the
armored cruiser New York has at
tracted the attention of the naval
constructors of the world to the
United States. That country led
the way nearly thirty years ago in
introducing the type of the modern
war ship and cruiser; it now looks
as if she was putting the finishing
touches upon the methods and ma
chimes of modern naval warfare,
inaugurated in a moment of ma
tional need and naval necessity.

scribe:
"Mark Twain discovered in his
travels that Ham and his descend
ants rambled off in their wander
ings to the borders of Europe, and
it is supposed that they drifted
finally into the realm of the Sultan,
and since that time the thought of
Turkey has suggested Ham and
Ham and Turkey have always been
found to go well together. In pat,
riotic commemoration of those an
cient days, the ladies of the lunch
committee will dedicate Thursday
to Turkey and Ham as the prin-
cipal dish of the day. The turkey
will give you dreams of the Orient,
and the ham will make you think
of Chicago and the Worlds Fair.
Just try them at the Arlington
lunch today and you will be just
as happy as if you had visited both
places, and it will only cost you
fifty cents"

Some of the democratic leaders
are of the opinion a new tariff bill
can be agreed upon, framed and
passed within six weeks after Con-
gress meets in September next.
Those who have watched the
course of tariff legislation in the
United States, during the past
twenty years, smile grimly at the
enthusiasm displayed and prophe-
sy that at the end of six months the
new tariff bill will still be in the
hands of anxious and uncer-

"YARD- SHEEP."
An Outdoor Summer Game Which Both
Boys and Girls Can Enjoy.

lSONs anu Wits Van
One of the pleasantest outdoor games
to be played in the twilight is that
called in this vicinity (southern Massa-
chusetts) "Yard-Sheep." A goal is
marked out and a post driven in the
ground. On this post is balanced a
stick about a foot long, which is called
the gate Each player is furnished
with a stout cane with which to strike
the balanced stick. A goal-tender or
man" is then chosen, and the rest of
the players, which may be any number,
90 off and hide. The man counts one
hundred and then starts to find the
sheep, which he is to put in the yard.
If he spies player he runs to the goal
and calls ''yard sheep for -" calling
the name of the one ne saw. If, after
he secs sheep, the sheep can reach the
goal first and knock off the gate, he can
run off and hide again, while the IMAM"
is replacing the gate, for sheep can not
be yarded when the gate is off. If the
'man" goes after sheep in one direction
and one of the players can come from
another and knock off the gate, then
the ''man" must replace the gate before
he can catch anyone. After sheep is
yarded player can release him if he
can get to the goal before the man
and knock off the gate. II he makes a
mistake and only knocks it short dis
lance, and the imam" can get it on
again before the sheep get out of sight,
then he can call for both of them and
they must come back. When three
sheep are yarded the game is ended,
and the first one caught is then the
''man." The man" has to watch his
goal pretty sharply while he is looking
for the sheep so as not to let sheep
steal a march on him. When sheep
is in the yard he can not knock off the
gate. No one but the imam" can touch
the gate with his hand; if he does he is
caught, and must take the place of the
IMAM" and the game commence over
again. This is a boys game, but girls
sometimes join in the sport, and seem
to enjoy it.-American Agriculturist.
