The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1896-10-20

The annual report OF the Free Kin
dergarten and Children's Aid Associ-
alton is a document that should be
read by every father and mother and
every man and woman who takes an
interest in the present welfare of Ha-
waits future citizens. No better proof
of the necessity for kindergarten work
can be offered than the steady increase
of pupils in every department. We
doubt if the most enthusiastic pioneer
kindergarten dared predict the de-
velopment which the last two years
has witnessed in and about Queen
Emma hall. The success of the past is
indeed an incentive to press on until
the kindergarten shall become an act
i've reality in every plantation and dis
trict that has half dozen children to
be benefited thereby.

CONGRESS OF MOTHERS.

Washington, D. c.. with its flood OF
conventions, congresses and big gath
erings of societies of every name and
description, is soon to add very
unique and valuable assemblage to its
list of transients, in the shape of a
Mothers Congress. Transient is used
in distinction from the gathering of
statesmen and not as signifying the
character of the organization. AS will
be seen from the dispatch in another
column, the congress is to be held in
February next, and circulars are al
ready being issued, calling upon the
mothers to join in this movement to
get together and consider any and all
subjects relating to the home.
1t is really refreshing to note this
new departure of what might be called
new-womanhood. The sons and daugh-
tiers have associated themselves in
every conceivable form of brotherhood
and sisterhood. Every society from the
grabbed Bachelor Club to the Old Maid
Discontents has had its national gath
ering, and proclaimed in tones respect
lively stentorian and angular that wom-
en- should do thus and men should do
so, and withal attempting to place the
world of human beings under rules so
disagreeable that if carried out fully
would drive every last one of the race
to commit suicide in self-defense.
Heretofore the mothers have never
succeeded in getting together to pour
some motherly common sense oil on
the troubled waters and bring new
light to those who do have regard
for the home and the children. 1t is
not to be supposed, however, that the
maternal organizations will long re-
main in the background. The kinder
garten and kindred associations are
daily bringing the duties of mother
hood into greater prominence, and it
is anticipated that in the coming con-
gress the discussion will bear especial
ly upon the broader moral and physi-
cal development as well as the mental
training of the young. There will also
be a study of the physical and mental
evils or benefits to be found in the
present methods of instruction in the
schools. All of which will tend to bring
about a closer relationship between
the home and the institutions of learn
ing.
The record of the kindergarten thus
far has shown it to be one of the
strongest weapons with which to fight
the jails, warehouses and reform
schools, and it certainly falls within
the sphere of the Congress of Mothers
to consider the means which will tend
to elevate and ennoble, which will de-
velop in the child strength of charac-
ter, which will reduce to a minimum
the necessity for criminal institutions.

The reported refusal of the Porte to
allow American war ships to pass the
-Dardanelles may be taken, we believe,
with grain of salt The part taken
by the United States in the training of
Turkeys mis-ruler has been very slight
indeed. United States war ships have
been on hand simply TO give protection
to American citizens, and not with a
view to laying violent hands on land
or anything else belonging to the
Turks. 1t might be possible for the
powers of Europe to form combina-
ton and attempt to use the United
States as catspaw. This, in fact,
seems the most reasonable explana-
ton. If the Porte can be forced to
pick row with Uncle Sam's men it
will afford an opportunity for the
European towards to daily over and
put eff the inevitable division of the
Turkish Empire.

FOR COFFEE GROWERS.

Beginning with this issue the Gazette
will place a good portion OF its space
each week at the disposal OF the coffee
planters and fruit growers Of the coun-
try. Under the head of Coffee and
Fruit Exchange" will be published
such queries and such items of valuable
experience as the planters, large and
small may see fit to contribute. In
answering the queries Commissioner
Marsden and Prof. Koebele will be
sought as the headquarters Of informa-
ton. but at the same time we want the
answers which each planters expert
ence may suggest.
Particularly in the coffee industry
are the planters dependent upon what
they learn from hard experience.
Theory and practice applicable to Cey-
Ion. Guatemala or Mexico does not
always fit the case in Hawaii and the
coffee tree Of Olaa needs different treat
ment from that grown in Kona.
Some may argue that as each one has
to hoe his own row, exchange of opini-
ons viii amount to very little. This
is of course a very narrow gauge view
and in keeping with the progressive
spirit the planters have shown. No
thing can be gained and no advantage
obtained by any planter shutting him
self up like a clam. Nor do we believe
our coffee planters are of this stamp.
1t is in consequence of the belief that
the small agriculturalists will appre-
ciate a special department devoted to
their interests that leads US to offer
them the use Of a special column
through which each coffee or fruit
grower can obtain an idea of the me-
thods successfully used by co-laborers.
Hawaii has a climate of its own and
soil of its own, therefore it is impossi-
bic to depend entirely upon the sys-
TENS of cultivation and final prepara-
ton for the market in vogue in other
countries. Send in your answers;
find out what others are doing and
tell what you have done.

One of the dangers of scientific jok-
ing was exemplifed recently when
Prest. Jordan of Stanford University
wrote an article for Appleton's Popu-
lar Science Monthly, entitled 1.-The
Sympsychograph." President Jordan
in semi-serious vein related the do
ings of the Astral Camera Club"
whose members, by fixing their minds
on the idea of a cat, succeeded in i'm
pressing that idea upon a sensitive
Photographic plate, and thus obtaining
a thought photograph" of the animal
The article was written as an elabo-
rate take-off on the newspaper reports
of thought photography; but much to
the surprise of the author, his article
was taken seriously by the newspa-
pers, and even so careful a journal as
Science remarked upon the subject
matter in proper scientific manner.
While no particular harm has been
done, it is quite certain that the Incl
dent will lead scientific men to be
more careful in the character of the
amusement to which they lend their
pens.

BRYAN FEVER COOLING.

A prominent wool dealer of the Unit
ed States who passed through Homo
lulu on the Warrimoo is so positive Of
the election of Mckinley that he has
started off 10 make his yearly pur-
chases in New Zealand so asto be ready
to take advantage of the improved
condition of trade bound to follow after
the election. This is certainly an eX-
hibition of supreme confidence and it
is more noticeable since it comes from
a Cleveland Democrat, a typical mug
wump member of a mugwump firm.
With the exception of the news as
dished up by the San Francisco Ex-
aminer, the dispatches by the last mail
certainly verify the confidence in Nc
Kinley's election which was shown by
our friend the wool dealer. The change
in the situation has been very slight,
except that the Bryan fever is being
steadily cooled by Mckinley common
sense. The TWO candidates are con-
tinuing the same style of campaign
work that they started out with. Bry-
an is whooping it up from car plat
forms and public squares and McKin-
ley is making about as many speeches
to the large delegations calling daily
and almost hourly at his home. The
men who make up the Mckinley ex-
cursions can be depended upon as
Mckinley voters, but 1t is an open ques-
ton how many curiosity seekers there
are in the Bryan throngs. In betting
ring which is one of the best political
thermometers the odds on Mckinley
are steadily on the increase.
The principal utterances of interest
have been Bryan's acceptance of the
Populist nomination and his assertion
of confidence in his own election.
Bryan's final letter of acceptance is
not very remarkable document. He
practically gives the Peoples party
credit for originating the silver move>
ment, ana suggests that any minor
points in party platforms should be
overshadowed by the silver plank; he
also expresses confidence that there
will be no antagonism between the
various regiments of the one great
army" This last is amusing in view
of the warm words with which Sewall
has been received by the Populists.
There is talk of both the candidates
for vice-president resigning, and in
this seems to rest the only menace to
Republican victory. Let the national
committees decide at the eleventh hour
upon some new man for the second
place; let this new candidate be one of
the Bryan stamp who can furnish red
lights of oratory for while, the Re-

MOSQUITOES AND PETROLEUM.

While Commissioner Marsden and
the rest of the ''bugologists" are wait
ing for the toads and bats to increase
sufficiently to wipe out the mosquitoes,
it would not be bad plan for some
philanthropic citizen to experiment
with petroleum, as suggested by the
United States Bureau of Entomology.
Several years ago that department rec
commended spraying with petroleum
the marshes and pools where the mos
quito breeds. The scheme has been car
ried out very successfully on limited
areas in New Jersey, where the
pest is even worse than in this coun-
try. One enthusiast even goes so far
as to express a conviction that the
time may soon come when the mos
quito will be practically unknown in
New Jersey. If such a possibility is
even partially realized, the petroleum
advocates will stand high in the esti-
nation of thousands of the blood
thirsty insects victims.
The plan for the people who go gun
ming for mosquitoes with petroleum is
given as follows: Mosquitoes are
able to reproduce their kind only in
stagnant water, where they lay their
eggs. A few cents worth of crude pc
troleum will cover many acres of such
water with a thin film. The oil thus
spread kills the laryal insects immedi-
ately. One of the most infected mos
quito districts of New Jersey is that
which surrounds Cape May. To the
presence of these affecting insects may
be attributed in great measure the de-
cadence of that summer resort during
the last few years. 1t is environed by
extensive salt marshes, with pools scat
tered here and there. Probably by the
expenditure of 800 or 5000 per annum
the town could almost eliminate the
mosquito plague, merely by placing
small quantities of petroleum where
they would do the most good
1t does seem as though with such
promises which the petroleum the

Lecture at Punahou.

Captain Nathan Appleton's lecture
on the Panama Canal yesterday after
noon before the students of Oahu Col
lege was one of exceptional interest
and was in substance the same as the
address recently delivered by the Cap
tain before the Social Science Club.
The speaker described in most in
teresting manner the topography of
the isthmuses of Panama and Tehu-
antepec, and also that of the Nicaragua
route. He explained what has already
been done, paying tribute to the en-
terprise of De Lesseps and his con-
freres. He spoke of the new life in
fused into the work by the new COM
pany and its progress at the present
time.
