Errors in School Books.

THE HERALD acknowledges the receipt
of a neat pamphlet entitled as above, pub
lished by ALBERT N. Pope. Mr.. POPE is
president of the Pope Manufacturing COM
pany OF Boston, which some time ago
offered as prize Columbia Expert BIZ
cycle to any teacher first to inform them
of any misstatement of fact appearing in
any school book studied in this country
under authority OF school committee.
The error was to be one taught in the
lessons and not a mere inadvertent one.
Disputed points OF history were excepted.
But two misstatements in FIsKE's
s'Civil Government in the United States''
and but one in WEBsTER's dictionary
were sent. The grammar school geog-
raphies were the most prolific in errors.
These latter amounted in all to 38; his
tories, 81; arithmetics, 10; grammars,
natural histories and readers. 16, II and
10 respectively; chemistries, 8; Ian
guages, etymologies and civil govern
ment, 7 each. and physiologies, 6.
Many of the errors in the scientific
books raise questions almost too abstruse
for treatment in THE HERALD, but one in
BARNES Complete Geography is such a
common one that the correction will no
doubt be interesting to our readers. The
error itself is not given in the pamphlet,
but the correction tells what it is, as fol-
lows:
AS matter of fact, the earth turns on
its axis 1861 times a year; but as solar
day is some four minutes longer than a
sidereal day (the exact time OF the earth's
rotation on its axis, on account of the
earth onward motion in its orbit, there
are but 1861 days in the year.
The publishers, who are manufacturers
of bicycles, say:
The greatest error of those discovered in
school books was the omission to teach
the great need and importance OF the
construction and maintenance OF good
roads throughout the country. 1t was an
error of omission far greater than any
error of commission of which authors and
publishers were guilty. The three RS,
reading, 'riting and arithmetic had been
well provided for, but instruction in the
fourth R-Roads-bad been apparently
wholly overlooked, with the exception of

Pictures Of the South.

THE HERALD has secured two charming
articles from Miss WINNIE DAVIS,
daughter of JEFFERSON DAVIS, for pub
LEGATION February 18th and 26th. The
subject is 1.-THE Women of the South Be-
fore the War; The articles give most
picturesque and graphic description OF
the life of women on southern planta-
lions, and serve to show how false the
idea that the women of the south lived in
luxurious idleness. On the contrary,
Miss DAVIS shows them to be skilled in
the practical affairs OF the household.
She represents them as educated and well
read, at the same time, capable cooks,
clever nurses, skilful at neediework,
oftentimes having the responsibility of
educating their children and as of ne
cessity having multiform duties and re-
sponslbilities that are not so generally
required at the present day.
The articles are full of incidental pic
lures of many phases of life on slave
holding plantations. They contain a
great many incidents and references to
what was actually accomplished by in
dividual women in the days Of slavery
They are capitally written and viii be
well illustrated.

A Rabbit Problem.

A current newspaper paragraph says
that New South Wales has exported as
many as fifteen million rabbit skins in
one year. This story has been long
time in circulation and has never been
denied. 1t originated in report by our
consul, Mr.. GRIFFIN, at Sydney. The
several governments OF Australia have
been fighting the rabbit pest for twenty
years, but without making much impress
sion on the number of the prolific little
animals. New South Wales has alone
expended So, SSs, 200, and individual
farmers expended nearly 81. 900, 900 more,
in six years. Assessments are made
upon all occupied lands Tor rabbit fund.
and these assessments must be paid by
proprietors whether their claims are in
tested or not. In some cases the tax ex-
ceeds the rent OF the holding.
Experiments have been made enclosing
lands, that will bear the expense, with
wire netting three feet high with one inch
and fve-eights wire mesh; but this is
rather costly $500 mile-and it is only
very valuable land that can afford it.
Nevertheless several thousand miles OF. the

Blaine. Reciprocity, Etc,

Many OF the Republican mourners at
the bier OF BLAINE were, but few years
ago, the most conspicuous of his critics.
The Chicago Tribune, for instance, speaks
of what will happen ''when the prejudice
and malice of partisenship shall have
passed away apparently oblivious of
the fact that itself has been among the
chiefest OF his political assailants.
1t has been considerably less than three
years since Mr.. BLAINE in speech at
Wateryille. Me-, set all the leading poll
ticians of his party agog, and, trampling
upon the MCKINLEY bill IN the shape it
then presented, declareda revolt as alarm
ing as it was bold. The adroit secretary,
with his practical eye, took in the whole
situation at a glance, and argued that if
he could disorder the Republican ranks
in Congress and secure the defeat
of the MCKINLEY bill, he would

THE DESIGNATED officials at Washing
ton are deep in the complications of the
bids for supplying the government print
ing Office with paper. A fair idea
of the enormous amount of ma
terial used every year can be gath
cred from few of the items, which are as
follows: Eight hundred thousand reams
of book paper, $1,000 reams of writing
paper, 19, 600 reams of ledger paper, ], S25, :
coo sheets of card board. rs. 900 pounds of

THE SYMPOSIUM OF views THE HERALD
gives today on the statehood question was
intended to embrace ali shades of partisan
opinion, as represented by conspicuous
people, and not to be mere collection of
expressions to boost our own position. 1t
does not include all from whom we de-
sired to hear, but is sufficiently compre-
hensive for the purpose, and makes, as
GREELEY would say, "mighty interest
ing reading.''

expensive fencing have been put up and
the mileage is extending. The plan is
somewhat varied in certain localities by
fencing the rabbits in instead of out
erecting the netting round the districts
particularly infested, so as to confine
them and make the slaughter of them
more easy. The government pays scalp
bounty OF TO % cents, the rate varying
with the number of rabbits in the dis
trict, and there are several thousand men
in the colony who earn good living by
catching or killing them for their scalps.
An expert rabbiter can earn S1S to S4s a
week at the business.
Landholders have begun to complain
that this system has the same effect that
the gopher scalp bounty had in Iowa some
years ago, and no matter how many rab
bits are killed, the supply keeps on in
creasing. Poisoning the animals is prac-
ticed in wholesale way, and ferrets have
been introduced to kill them in their bur-
rows; but they continue to multiply in
spite of all these destructive devices, and
a government commission recently con-
sidered the project OF annihilating them
by the PAsrEUR method of incubation
with the microbes of chicken cholera; but
careful experiments show that the mi
crobes die out in rabbits. after time,
and the infection cannot be relied on to
do its work.
Here the matter rests, and the rabbit
problem remains unsolved. exceeding in
practical interest all other questions in
the colony.

is interesting, but not startling. From
reports, it would seem that the Hawaiians
are ready to couple on Immediately to the

there something more may have hap
pened. Meantime we can let the big

LET THERE BE LIGHT.

One thing is absolutely necessary
to the maintenance of confidence in
the integrity and honest purpose of
the present administration, and that
is frank public statement of the
position of affairs. 1t will not do to
spring anything suddenly on the
people, Whether changes are con-
templated, whatever plans of future
government, whether Independently
or in union with the Great Republic,
must be made public, or endless dis
satisfaction will ensue if nothing
worse. Ii our rulers are negotiating
to make us state, territory, or a
district similar to that of the capital
city, or if they propose to make this
protectorate under the agis of the
United States alone or of the Powers
jointly, or whether they propose to
erect this into an independent re-
public, or return to the monarchy
so recently summarily abrogated or
to have a regency during the minor
ity of the Heir Apparent, or what
ever scheme of stable and permanent
government they have in hand, they
must make it public and gain the
consent of the majority after a full
and free discussion. Otherwise it
doesn't go. There will always be
trouble just as Ireland and Great
Britain will always have trouble till
the same demand is conceded that
the majority freely and willingly
prefer the form of government they
live under. Let us then have no
more star chamber business. Moth
ing tends to allay fear and remove
distrust SO much as full and perfect
knowledge.

The Advertiser says this morning
"There can be no doubt that the
proclamation of martial law was one
of the wisest acts of the administra-
tion." Passing over the implied
accusation that all the acts of the
administration have not been wise,
we will simply say that if left to the
voice even of its supporters no other,
act of the administration has been
SO strongly condemned for its fool
ishness, Not only because of the
irritation and friction it's absurd en-
forcement has created here, but on
account of the untoward and objec-
tionable influence the news of its
proclamation will cause on our com
mercial relations abroad, where peo-
pie do not understand the opera
bouffe element in the affair which
has caused those playing at soldiers
to desire some raiSon d'etre for their
existence.

only six nations have accepted the

clare the review off,

1t seems as if the spoils were get
ting pretty we'll distributed. Whether
the treasury can stand the expense
of the new offices and departments
is matter which the fnanciers of
the present administration will have
to answer for themselves. But as
taxation without representation is a
wholly un-American system, we ex-
pect to find ultimately the matter
laid before the taxpayers, who will
consider whether this extraordinarily
extravagant outlay is even temper
arily necessary.

There are believed to be 1000 out
of the 5000 Chinese in New York
subject to the provisions of the re-
gistration act. OF these 1000 only
two had registered up to Jan. Is.
The opposition to registration is
supposed to be the work of the "Six
Companies" in San Francisco, which
has levied an assessment of so many
dollars head on the Chinese of the
country under a promise that the
money would be so used that they
need not comply with the law.
Camille Flammarion, the famous

beautiful shoulders of the Countess
when she was in decollete dinner
toilet. When the Countess was on
her deathbed from consumption, she
made the Count swear that he would
send the skin of her shoulders to
Flammarion for the purpose to
which he has now applied it.

By latest advices fatal cattle dis
ease is raging in Japan and has
totally destroyed the dairy industry
round Yokohama. Not a head of
cattle is living in radius of 80 miles
from that place and the disease is
spreading. A beef famine is immi-
nent. In Central Africa millions of
cattle and buffaloes are also report
ed as dead from some new and
speedily fatal disease. Whatever
else we have in Hawaii our food sup
ply is not in danger.
