If the reports from Florida are true, it
will be five years or more before that state
will be able to compete with Southern
California in orange and lemon production.
This will undoubtedly make orange lands
valuable, that is, lands which now have
bearing trees, but orchards which are not
now bearing, or which are to be planted,
will not become productive any sooner
than those newly planted in Florida.
Our people should be careful not to put
such high prices on their orange and
lemon lands as to prevent sales or to check
immigration. This mistake is often made.
There is strong immigration setting this
way, and it will be mistake for our land
owners to put such prices on their lands
as will become a barrier to the influx of
population. Cultivable lands will not
bear fancy prices. They are valuable
in proportion only to the net profits they
will yield. Homes are not acquired for
profit but for the satisfaction they give to
to the possessors, and people will pay for
them according to taste and financial
ability If our people are reasonable in
their prices there will be a la rye immi

Popular Topics Of the Day.

Honolulu has as many machin-
lists considering the population as
any place we know of - and
they're good machinists too, men
who can take steel rod and with
the assistance of lathe fashion it
into parts for the most intricate
machinery for an engine. To do
this, of course, requires a know
ledge of tools as well as the hand
ling of them.
In our store room one depart
ment contains the most complete
assortment of machinists, tools in
the city. Look at them and you
will find they are all of first
quality (the price will give you
the impression that they are
thirds) every one OF them shining
like an African heel. The as
sortment consists of hammers-all
sizes and shapes from the cute
little one used by the jewellers to
the heavy one which the boiler
maker uses in riveting the steel
plates together. Then we have
the Handy Pipe Wrench, a new
device without fault. This tool
will be found convenient one even
in the house where none of the
occupants are machinists. Hand
vises for machinists can be had
of us in every size manufactured,
so can Pipe Vises and Cold
Chisels. We have every thing
used by metal workers in their
trade.
Then we have a stock of car
penters wood working tools
second to none in the city-frst
only in quality. You cannot
call for 4 tool used Ev carpenter
that we do not have in stock.
Another thing you may be in re-
ested in is an axe that will hold
its edge-a new thing in axes and
something every one needs about
the house.
Bird cages have been mention
ed in another paper; Just here we
will say that the stock we carry
is complete.

Our Dispensers Shortage.

A letter appeared some days since in
a weekly paper %purporting to account
for the Dispensary shortage OF Mr..
Langston, which needs remark. There
in it is stated that Mr.. Langston appro-
priated the money of the Dispensary
to the satisfaction of his private debts.
This Mr.. Langston absolutely denies.
He does not deny that there was care
lessness in the business management,
and under the circumstances, u short
age was not remarkable. He states
among other facts that upon public
days and salesdays the sales went as
high az seven and eight hundred dol
lars. On these occasions he had the
assistance Of d large number Of clerks,
who were volunteers, and this was with
the sanction of the Board of Control.
1t was totally impracticable in the rush
to use the care that was prudent. On
one occasion q consignment Of liquors
amounting to fifteen hundred dollars,
was opened at night at the request Of
one OF the Board to suit his conven-
ience. 1t has been discovered that on
occasions boxes have been thrown
aside, which afterwards were found
containing liquors. Mr.. Langston
readily comedies that there was care
%lcssness.. In his interest we take pleas
dre in making the statement that it is
not a fact that he used any part of the
funds towards paying his debts.

This subject should claim our at.

Yates the aesthetic nature of the
child, like music, painting and
sculpture,
f. w. Parker says "reading is get.
ting thought by means of written
or printed words arranged IN sen
fences" However, it is that, and
more. Its an expression of thought
and feeling. In teaching reading
the work will not be rightly done
unless we begin with the learners
present stock of knowledge, and go
on Systematically from that starting
place.
A method: Take a real object
with which the child is familiar,
and in which he is interested, it
may be a cat or dog. Have the OBJ
ject itself, a toy representation of it,
or a picture of it, or all of them,
actually present. Get him to talk
about them be sure to arouse his
interest by suggesting different
things concerning the object. Call
his attention to the spoken word
that represents the object; now
write this corresponding word on
the blackboard in neat scrip. Point
to the word, and ask him to go to
the board and point to the word
also. Let him attempt to reproduce
it on his slate. Introduce every
way of exercise that your ingenuity
will suggest to help him to be ia.
miliar with the word. Continue
this slowly for several days until
the child knows the word perfect.
Next give him a few verbs, such as
run, sit, pat and sleep.
You a now put short sentences

already learned, articles, preposi-
tons and conncctives come later on.

he will initiate you, which should
be avoided. When the work is
slowly and carefully done he will
read correctly out of his
thought and imagination. This is
a real reading-analysis. All this
time nc attempt has been made to
teach the child his letters, that is he
does nut know them all by their
real name. He knows the elemen-
tary sound, and he a make them
with more or less success, but he
cannot distinguish them. BY slow
pronunciation he may learn them
very early. Example: cats h-a We
eyes. Do not name these letters,
give sounds. This's the phonic ell
ements with the written letters
that represent them.
