BOOKS FOR YOUNG HAWAIIANs.

Rev. Mr.. Emerson S comments
in the Friend, upon the need of
reading matter for the young Ha-
waiians, who are educated in the
English language. They acquire
the language and abandon it's use
very largely, for want OF stimu-
liant to practice it.
The statistics of the Honolulu
library for the last year are in
structive:
Religious books taken out. $3.50. 20
If these figures Indicate the
needs or inclinations of the civil
lied "white" minds, it shows quite
clearly what the native mind
needs. The novel was regarded
by good people, many years ago,
as a scheme of evil, and the
promoter of frivolous living. Now
it takes it's place as an educator;
not the best educator, perhaps,
but an aid, a suggestion of facts,
an instructor in the relations OF
men and women. 1t is in it's best
form an inspiration. Every read
er of good novels knows that.
The young Hawaiians need
novels of the simple kind, de
scriptive, without the incompre
hensible self ANALYSIS of the mo
dern novel, which make men and
women talk as they never think
or talk in social life, "makine
fishes talk like whales" So i'm
portant is the novel and history
the library should become a par
of the educational system of the
land. To teach the natives the
English language, and then per
nit them to slowly abandon it, il
to absurdly undo the costly edu
cation.
The library system of Califor
MIA is excellent and far-reaching
The law provides for libraries by
taxation, and it is done freely il
the intelligent communities.
Within the last few years, there
have been published in America
and England many millions Of
"good" novels, which retail at low
prices. The Board of Education
might make the experiment OF
purchasing some of them and au.
thOrize the school teachers to
sell them at cost, in the different
districts, or simply circulate
them.

THE BIBLE AND ISLAM.

As many of our readers do not
read the Bible, and obtain spirit
ual and religious truths only
through thesecular Press, it is the
duty of that Press to include re-
ligiOus with secular intelligence,
so far as it can be done, without
giving it a sectarian cast. The
secular Press of the world largely
ignores the religious side of
man. 1t undertakes to give its
readers just what they desire, and
/, few readers, however good they
may be, can turn away from
earthly news and lively gossip to
the vastly important affairs of a
religious nature. But the Press
has a solemn duty to discharge.
Tt must administer doses of truth
to the Indifferent and the black
sliders, and reach those who never
enter the Churches, but read the
newspapers.
1t has been the practice of the
"OrthOdOx" writer's on religions,
for many years and even cen
turtles, to denounce all religions as
pagan" and altogether wicked,
that were not founded on the re-
cognitiOn and teachings of Christ.
But more charitable and liberal
spirit has appeared, within a few
years. The sermon of the Rev.
Sidney Gulick on the religious
condition of Japan, which we re-
Gently published, is an instance of
this.
DR.. Henry Preserved Smith of
the Union Theological Seminary,
of n. Y, has just published "The
Bible and Islam," in which he
shows the influence of the Old and

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Swimming on the back in sea-water,
says a doctor, is the most beneficial
form of bathing. Swimming on the
side is very injurious to the muscles Of
the stomach.
A queer story is told Of an English
naturalist, who died in 1860, and was
buried at Blankney, in Lincolnshire.
Among his pets was large grey bat.
This bat was permitted to enter the
tomb, and was sealed up alive along
with the corpse Of his dead master. In
1866 the vault was opened, and, to the
surprise of ALL the bat was alive and
fat. On four different occasions since
the relatives of the dead man have
looked after the welfare Of his pet, and
each time it has been reported that the
bat was still in the land Of the living,
although occupying quarters with the
dead. 1t was last seen in 1892.
The most common name for a place
in England is Newton, which occurs no
fewer than ~ times. Newport, Wal
ton and Fairfield come next.
It is said that Santa Fe, N. NJ, is the
only city in the country with Board
OF Trade composed only of women
members. They attend says the Chi
cago Daily News, s'to all matters of
business relating to the good order of
the city and it's sanitary condition, re-
ceive and welcome strangers, and en-
terrain all celebrities"
1t has just been discovered that the
ancient Romans used posters and hand
bills in advertising. In digging at Her.
culaneum there was brought to light a
pillar covered with bills, one on top of
another. The paste used to stick them
was made of gum arabic. The bills,
when separated and examined, were
found to be programmes and announce
ments of public meetings and even
election proclamatiOns.

New Testament on tndt great re-
ligious leader, Mohammed. One
of the most thoughtful reviews Of
the books says:
"The author of the book acknowl-
edges that he cannot help admiring in
Islam. the power of the truth. 1t was
not indeed, the truth alone which
triumphed, but the truth in alliance
with worldly and sensual motives.
Islam is not the only religion in which
the world, the flesh and the devil have
fought on the side of truth for their
own ends Still, when all allowances
have been made, the truth which exists
in Islam, has been a power. AS COM
pared with heathenism, Islam is So
ciety in which god and righteousness
are living and acting forces. Every
one who has been admitted to intimacy
with Mohammedanism will testify that
in the fear of God, who strive to do His
will and whose kindness and benevo-
lence are the outworking of sincere
faith in Him. The hold of Islam on its
adherents is due to the fact that it en-
bodies much of the truth"
The practice of polygamy, Mo
manned adopted from the ex
ample of David and Solomon. But
his own wives made it hot for him.
His own individual experiences,
in which they "sassed" him and
called him an "old fool" and even
threw articles of furniture at him,
resulted in his giving curious
laws regarding wives to some
hundreds of millions of human
beings, which are observed today.
AS he caught his wives flirting,
or going to picnics on the Tan
talus of Arabia, he declared that
all women should wear wells, and
so they have done. This precau
tionary measure would not be
popular" in Hawaii, and there
need be no fear that it will get a
foot hold here. The wells alone
range the women of the Teutonit
race against it.

TIMELY TOPICS

NOVEMBER II, 1897.
RHRGTARS Are having
DONuuAAO quite a good
time in Honolulu just now.
So accustomed are we to
take up a daily paper and find
an account of another Oar
ing Robbery" that it is quite
a disappointment after care
fully going through the news
of the day to find no mention
Of the usual crime.
Just who is responsible
for this state of things is an
open question. 1t is all very
we'll to throw reason to the
winds and accuse our police
force of incapacity, etc., but
the true cause is to be found
nearer home. There are
many persons who would
not think of a criminal act,
were temptation not placed
in their way by the incau-
tious acts of many of our
citizens. ValuableS are al
lowed to lie about in all
places and at all times, and
no care whatever is taken to
secure them from curious
eyes.
The true remedy is in a
nutshell--or rather in a Safe.
The old excuse Of too ex-
pensive" does not hold now
a-days. We carry a selection
of safes made by the first
manufacturers in the United
States in no less than 6 sizes,
from the $I5 baby to pre-
serve the family jewels,
books, etc. to the largest office
safe. All sizes are equally
we'll made, strong and beau
tiful.
No one can afford to be
without one--a safeguard
alike from fire and the enter
prising burglar.
