LEARNING TO TEACH.

What our educational depart
ment needs is a permanent normal
school, with staff of specialists
from such institutions abroad. 1t
seems to an ordinary person up a
tree that a great deal of the didac-
tics purveyed to the summer
school is away over the heads of
the majority of teachers in atten-
dance. Besides, it does not ap-
pear to be the right thing to have
the teachers Gagged in a summer
school in Honolulu during vaca-
ton. They need rest and recrea-
ton Just as much as the children
they teach, and without such they
will not go back to their duties in
good trim for work. The depart
ment should aim Systematically
at getting normal school gra-
duates as teachers in all the
schools of the group. A teacher
ought to know his or her business
of teaching, the scholastic quail
fications for specific grades being
another matter. To get work as
carpenter a man must have
learned the trade, and it should
be the same with teachers. The
Government should not be expect
ed to give free instruction to
teachers that they have employed
under the presumption that they
had learned the profession al
ready.

A free silver coinage President
would be impotent to carry out
the object of his election without
a majority in each house of Con
gress favoring the cause. 1t is
hardly likely that both these fact
ors will be found existing together
in the next presidential term.
Cleveland was elected on tariff
for revenue platform, but all that
resulted was a messing up of the
tariff for protection. The MAORI
ty in 1892 was simply bambooz-
led. A majority for Bryan and free
silver this year would probably
not fare differently.

Even with a supernatural
ance of depredatory bugs the
average woman of Honolulu
takes a great interest in
plants. The taste of MANY
runs to ferns because they are
little or no trouble to raise.
And there is money in it to
persons who wish to raise
them for sale. A plant for
quarter will be worth two or
three dollars in year if pro-
perly attended to. That's the
reason we included Fern pans
of English pottery among our
goods.
They are new here and have
never been seen before. If
you are raising ferns come and
look at our window. We've
lots of things in there suited
to the flower garden or in the
house.
In the celebrated Mon
mouth Pottery we have Stone
Jars holding from half gallon
to ten. Then there are Butter
Crooks, Fruit Jars, Bean Pots,
Stew Pans and Water Pots.
The factory at Monmouth,
Illinois, holds the record for
the best glazing on stone of
any place in the United States.
1t is their goods we handle.
We have also small and large
flower pots, with and without
saucers, absolutely perfect.
We carry no second quality.
Then we have other and
cheaper flower pots of both
English and American make.
An inspection may be to
your interest. &c.,

AMERICAN COMMERCE

United States Consul Donnelly
in Mexico lately made report to
y his government on the importance
of a knowledge of languages in
connection with trade. He de-
plores the smallness of volume in
trade between the United States
and countries to the south, attri.
buting it to the ignorance of Span
ish on the part of most American
commercial travellers. He says
that 1.-The United States does more
business with the 100000 Eng
lish speaking people in Canada
than with the 30,000,000 and more
Spanish-speaking people in South
America, although the latter peo-
pie are more naturally our allies,
all being parts of one great Amer
lean Republic" Consul Donnelly
4 urges that Spanish should be
more generally learned by young
America.
Colonel George w. Bell, United
States Consul to Sydney, on his
arrival at San Francisco lately
delivered an interesting address
before the Chamber of Commerce
there. He attributed to commerce
and the commercial spirit the
progress of the world in
civilization. This generation
was better than any that had
preceded it because it was the
greatest commercial generation the
world had seen. Commerce had
aver been the ally of freedom.
"The commercial statistics of a
country represent pretty closely
the sum total of that country's
intellectual life. To take an ex-
IRENE case, Russia with 125,000,.
' 900 people has almost exactly the
same foreign commerce that Aus
tralia with 100000 people has,
and each has 800 newspapers and
periodicals. Counting interstate
commerce we are the greatest
commercial people on earth"
Coming down to the concrete
Consul Bell secuted the danger
of over-production in the United
States. He thought there could
be no over.production until all
Gods children had all that they
wanted. What the United States
wanted was more perfect COM
merce, better distribution. In
Australia were four millions of
the richest people in the world,
who with their ability to buy had
a desire for the best that could be
bought. The United States should
have forty per cent of their trade
instead of six per cent. Consul
Bell thought that if there was a
line of steamships of large bur-
den, say 5000 tons, between San
Francisco and Sydney, a large
part of the travel between the
Colonies and England would find
It's way thereby, either going or
returning.
These lectures of wideawake
American consuls to their coun-
trymen have a lively interest for
Hawaii, as the more the American

This may be the warning
cry to you some night.
Whether treferS to your store,
factory, mill, office, or resi-
dence, it means that all of your
valuable account books, Secu-
rites, deeds, insurance policies,
notes, receipts, mortgages, ETC.,
will be destroyed if not pro-
tected by a fire-proof safe.
Can you afford to run this
hazardous riSk2 The loss of
an insurance policy alone in
nine cases out Of ten would
cause you endless trouble and
expense in going to law to Sc
cure a settlement, and then
your chances of coming to
satisfactory adjustment with
the insurance company would
indeed be very slim. 1t is a
duty that you owe to your
business, to your family and
to yourself to protect these
things against both fire and
thieves. That old tin box or
drawer in which you have
been in the habit of keeping
your papers, would be of no
service whatever in case of
fire.

you a lifetime, and it is the
best investment that any bust

make no mistake in buying a

safes manufactured and shipped
by this company, upwards of
four hundred have already
gone through very severe fires

to your type printed visiting
card, when it is so easy to
get the correct thing right at
home.
No card but an engraved
one is acceptable; others are
considered shoddy and should
not be used.
We know the correct thing,
and any work turned out by
us, will place you right in
the swim.
Every effort is being made
by us to keep this work at
home, and if a strict adher-
ence to San Francisco prices,
combined with good clean
work is any inducement to
place orders here, we will get
all your work from now on.
Bear in mind that we are
not trying to meet the cut
rates of Eastern Department
stores for inferior work; but
are doing good work, using
the very best of material, and
adhering closely to ruling
rates in San Francisco.
Nor is the work confined
to Cards alone, but Wedding
and Society Stationery, Bust
ness Cards, Announcements,
Bill Heads for Professional
men, Enclosing, and the
general run of work coming
under that head, have the
same careful attention.
You may not need any

Completed.
Annual Convocation for the il ris.
dicticn of California
Continued.

The annual convocation of the Grand
Chapter of Royal Arch Masons for the iuris-
diction of California resumed its labors at
the Masonic Temple yesterday morning.
The forenoon was devoted principally to
reports of standing committees. The aft
ernoon session was occupied in the elec-
ton of officers with the following result:
Thomas Flint Sr. of San Juan, grand
high priest; William Frank Pierce of Oak
land, deputy grand high priest; Eli Tucker
Blackmer of San Diego, grand king; Florin
Leslie Jones of San Francisco grand scrib be ;

The captain of the host, grand chaplain.
grand lecturer, grand organist and grand
sentinel being appointed officers their
names will be announced by the grand
high priest to-day previous to the installa-
ton Of officers.
Grand High Priest Flint is veteran
among the brethren over whom he has
been called upon to preside for the next
Masonic year. He was born in the State
OF Name in 1924 He arrived in California
on the 4th of July, 1851, and remained as
one of the permanent and substantial pio-
neers of the State. Becoming identified
with the Masonic fraternity shortly after
his arrival he was soon recognized as
man born to preside over his fellows.
Having passed from chair to chair in the
Blue Lodge he was elected master of his
lodge, in which his ability was so appre-
ciated that he was reelected and is at
present worshipful master.

Wings Against Steam.

Erie and Pittsburg trainmen are talking
about the curious race between an express
train and wild goose which occurred the
Summit. The veteran engineer, Tony
Welsh, was at the throttle, and when the
Canadian honker came lazily soaring
alongside the engine and challenged the
iron steed to keep up with him, Tony
turned on the steam and made it neces-
sary for the goose to flap his wings little
harder, and after getting out of sight of
the train he would settle down in field
and wait for the express to catch up to
him. He waited at Springboro, CoEneaut-
vile and Summit. and starting after the
train from these points, flew close to the
coach windows in full view of all the pas
sengers. who crowded over to that side OF
the train to observe the queer actions of
the bird. When the goose at one time got
close to the engine, Engineer Welsh pulled
the whistle and the bird was so badly
scared that he turned over in the air like q
tumbling pigeon.

HE asserts that the people of Italy

convert the products of their vines into
spirits or brandy? Because it costs more
than to produce light wines and they are
too poor to purchase the higher-priced
products.

The women were held as witnesses in the sum
OF 800 each and the two principals in the
sum of $4,000 each. All of the bail money to
the amount of $4,000 was furnished by the
principals and day or two later declared for
feited, as the entire party skipped for San
Francisco.
While was on the way to the County Jail in
hack with the principal, he offered me $4,000
in greenbacks to let him out of the hack. On
his person l found an itemized statement of
the cost OF each woman, ranging in value from
$400 to $1,000, the amount paid the examining
physician, the amount paid to the alleged
husbands, who were taken from Portland and
registered on the outward passage at Port
townsend as "merchants' whose wives were
entitled to return, and finally the sum paid to
the magistrate at Victoria for performing the
marriage service. These facts afterward laid
