Planters Monthly for February.

This useful periodical is out, and
its table of contents will be found
in another column. Among the
leading articles are a retrospect of
the worlds sugar production for
1895 and DR.. MaxwelPs report to
the Audubon sugar station on the
organic solids in cane juice. There
are two articles on coffee, one of
which must be of value to those be-
ginning this branch of business, as
it tells how to plant, raise and cure
coffee in the most approved way.
The new list of committees of the
Sugar Planters Association is also
published.
In the form OF supplement, the
editor furnishes each subscriber
with a new steamer time table,
which notes the date of departure
of all the steamers leaving San
Francisco, Vancouver, Sydney and
Yokohama for this port. This is a
new feature in our time tables and
must prove of value to correspond
ents living in other countries and
wishing to learn the date of the
departure of the eighty-four steam
ers scheduled in it.

ANOTHER FODDER PLANT.
Commissioner Marsden Will Dis.
tribute Seeds.

Commissioner Jos. Marsden an
nounces that he has a quantity OF
Teosinte seeds for distribution.
This plant is a native of Guata-
mala and does well up to a consid-
cradle elevation. 1t is prolific and
some times as many as ninety
stems will grow from single root.
As fodder grass in regions like
this, free from frost, it is excellent.
The young shoots when boiled
constitute fair culinary esculent.
An idea of the production of the
plant may be obtained from the
fact that 10000 grains have been
secured from the planting of three
seeds. In a warm climate it is
without a rival.
Some years ago the late DR..
Trousseau tried to grow the Teo-
sinte but at that time there was a
blight which effectually killed it;
the advent of the lady-bird marked
the departure of the blight and the
seeds which Commissioner Mars
den will distribute are from plants
grown by him on the slopes Of
Tantalus.

Der of people interested in educa-
tional work being present.
During the afternoon the work of
the graduates was on exhibition in
an adjoining room. This was a
centre of attraction for those ac-
quainted with kindergarten work.
The Foreign room was decorated
for the occasion of the graduating
exercises. On the walls were fes-
toons of fine leaved vines and in
front were bouquets Of flowers.
Back of the seats occupied by the
ten graduates was draped large
American flag.
The exercises were opened by the
following ball songs, sung by the
graduating class: Flight OF the
Birds" "The Birds Nest" SIN a
Hedge" ''The Dear Little Bird"
"Bell SO High" and Church Bells"
Following this was an essay by
Miss Laura Pires on Religion in
the kindergarten" In it the writ
er emphasized the Importance of
leading the youthful minds found
in the kindergartens to a knowl
edge of God, through sweet and
simple methods, in order that they
may come to associate none but
such thoughts with the Supreme
Being. She spoke also of the in
seperableness of such teaching from
the work of the kindergarten. In
order to be assured of successful
work, the thought of God must be
the most important factor and ma
ture in all her beauty must be most
intimately associated.
The Spinning Song" and ''Clock
Song" were sung most effectively
by the graduating class.
Miss Ozawa's essay on play as
the foundation of all kindergarten
work was the next on the program.
In it the writer dwelt upon play as
the great developer of both the
body and mind. From it the child
learned to recognize the different
attributes of objects. Play should
not be hampered in any way but
should be spontaneous and free, if
good is to be accomplished.
After the "Song of the Sewing
Machine" and II Toss My Ball"
Mrs. Hyde gave a short talk on the
aim of kindergarten work, and
spoke of the hopes centred in the
graduates of the class of '96 of the
Honolulu kindergarten Training
School.
Before presenting the diplomas
Mrs. Harriet C. Coleman addressed
the graduates and gave them few
words of kindly advice for their
future work. In closing, Mrs.
Coleman asked that all the gradu-
ates pay particular attention to the
Hawaiian children. Should they
be met upon the street, a kind
word might do some good; should
they be met in the school or in any
other place, kindly bearing would
be sure to bear fruit.
Diplomas were then presented to
Miss Abigail Aikue, Miss Frances
Bindt, Miss Nellie Kahuila, Miss
Mildred S. Kinney, Miss Ito Ozawa,
Miss Laura L. Pires, Miss Flora
NJ. Smith, Miss Caroline Snow,
Miss Ella L. Thrum, Mrs. Isabel F.

drawn by four white horses and draped
with the Union Jack, waited to convey
him the short distance to the steamer.
When the procession started the coach
was preceded by his celebrated scarlet
chair, carried empty by four men and
several bands. A division of marines
from the warships in the harbOr fell
into line behind the viceroy, followed by
a long deputation of Cinnamon in their
picturesque robes. The Viceroy seemed
delighted with the demonstration in his
honor and especially with the homage
of his countrymen, who fell on one knee
and raised cIasped hands to him as he
passed.
The gang plank of the Empress Of
China was carpeted as for royalty. with
scarlet, the ropes were bound with vel
low and draped with flags. AS he was
carried up the plank in his scarlet
chair, the Chinese dragon flag was run
to the mainmast and a, salute of nine
guns was fired from H. NJ. S. Comus.
The absence of cheering was notice
able and gave an Oriental sOlemnity to
the proceedings. All the ships in the
harbOr were gaily decorated with rain
bows and bunting and many of the
roofs around displayed kodak fiends.
Many prominent citizens had cards of
admission to Empress and crowded her
decks to catch a glimpse of the earl as
he was carried aboard. For this one
day the usual social order was sub
verted and Cinnamon everywhere took
precedence of their white brethren in
the good-natnred thrOngs that lined the
wharf.
It was emphatically Chinamen's day.
Almost Immediately on reaching the
steamer Lii Hung Chang granted audi
ence in the saloon to a deputation of
gorgeously gowned Cinnamon. from
whom he received an address read from
scarlet paper During the audience
his servant several times put his pipe
to his lips and all but smoked for the
great potentate. AS a mark of his ap-
probation of the courtesies extended
him by the Canadian Pacific railway
Lii conferred knighthood upon A. E.
LaIonde, of the passenger department
of that road, who accompanied him on
the journey.

time aboard.

SIMPSONS MONSTER CROWD.
A Mile Long Procession and Many
Hundreds ofVoters at Ness City.

Ness City, Sept 14.-Simpson and sill
yer was the big attraction here Satur-
day. Early in the morning the farm
ers' teams began coming into town, and
at II o'clock a parade of wagons, horse
men and footmen over mile in length
paraded the streets, carrying flags and
banners with appropriate notices. It
is said there never was such a crowd
in this city. At 2 o'clock Mr.. Simpson
commenced preaching the silver gospel
to tWO-thirds of the voters of this cOun-
ty. For two and a half hours he pour
ed red-hot shot into the gold camp.
One significant feature of the campaign
here is that all the county officers and
other readers who are POpulistS have
stopped the Daily Co-Operator of To-
peka because it is now under the con-
troll as they think, of Republicans, try
ing to disrupt the party on account of
the agreement made at the Abilene
convention.

SECRETLY FOR SILVER.
But Now Mr.. Tetirick Comes Out for
the Gold Standard.

In a newspaper one day last week an
agent of an eastern insurance company
was given credit with having a letter
from one w. G. Tetirick of Kingman,
Kansas, announcing that his visit to
the east has satisfied him that free
silver was undesirable.
It is supposed that this is the same
gentleman from whom Mr.. TiIOtsOn
received a letter on the 27th day of last
August, which letter is as follows:

ENGLISH CAPITAL COMING
To Buy Up Great Franchise Without
Regard to Who's Elected.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE World this
morning says:
The negotiations for the sale Of the
Erie canal electric franchise to an Eng
lish syndicate will result in the install
lation of a complete system of electric
traction within a short time.
What has interested English capital
in this enterprise is the possibility Of
shipping grain from the northwest di-
rect to Liverpool by an all water route.
and effecting a great saving in time and
freight charges. only one transfer will
be required, and that will be in New
York harbor. without the necessity Of
elevator storage. The saving VIII be
not only in high railroad freight
charges, if the grain is brought to New
York by rail, but on the old water
route of elevator charges at Buffalo
and slow haulage by mules through the
canal with more elevator charges at
this port.
The use of electricity to run canal
boats is but part of the extensive
plan to cheaper rates from the west
to the east. and then to Europe. Il con-
templates q direct service, from Cnica-
20 and Duluth, by the use of steel canal
boats after the type of the six tnat
were built last year in Cleveland ana
