ON PRACTICAL EDUCATION
VALUE OF SUCH EDUCATION TO
THE FARMER
What Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Has to Say Upon the Question
Some Excellent Advice

Islanders are much interested here
in practical instead of theoretical ed
ucation, and in giving reasons for the
maintenance of agricultural colleges,
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says:
The uneducated man earns on the
farm from $40 to $40 month: the
educated man easily earns from $50
to 500. An improved pasture will
sustain an animal to the acre; an uu-
improved pasture requires several ac-
res The native horse without blood
or development in some of our north
western states is valued at $40 a head;
well bred, well developed horse. is
worth from 500 to 81 600 The native
COW in some of our newer states will
yield $50 worth of products i'm a
year; the improved COW i'm the hands
of a skilled dairyman yields SIS
worth of products in the same time.
Corn in Iowa, some years, is worth 10
cents a buShel where it is the one
crop of the farm; but the skilled fee
der makes il worth 10 cents a bushel
The native pineapple weighs from 3
to 4 pounds, and sells for 10 to 20
cents apiece: the scientist hybridi2es
the same pine and makes it weigh
from to - pounds. and sells it for
rs to 81 apiece. The uneducated la
borer produces cotton as his sole crop
and sells it for cents a pound; the
educated laborer diversifes his in
dustry and puts high selling products
on the market.
"The young mans labor when he
comes to college is worth no more
hpr haf ,f 4
hand; but if he studies the science re-
lated to some one industry his labor
! is in demand everywhere. His earning
capacity was equal to one laborer
when he entered; it is equal to half
a dozen when he graduates.
THE graduates of the agricultural
colleges of the several states, who
have laid the foundations of scien-
tific education, should be invited by
Congress to 90 to Washington to pur-
sue their. studies in special lines and
get facilities and direction from the
chiefs of divisions. without expense
to the students. They could have ac-
cess to the departmental and congress-
siolal libraries. to the museums of
the departments and of the Smithso-
nian Institution. which contains de-
partmental material. The university
that George Washington had in mind
is in existence now in the capital city.
1t lacks only the students. 7 shall
in my next annual report to the Pres
ident and Congress ask that this au-
thority be given to the Secretary of
Agriculture. No additional appropria-
tions would be necessary until large
numbers required lecture room. which
Congress would promptly provide"

RUSSIA'S PREPARATIONS.
Launching a New Warship Every
Month-Army Increase.

The Russian army has increased
rapidly in the past ten years. The
number of new conscripts called to
the ranks this year is nearly 100000.
This is $4,000 more than ten years
ago. The Notifications of Cronstadt,
which are already formidable, are 60
ing to be materially increased by the
construction of two new forts and of
several batteries. destined to protect
the narrow channel to the north. A
new man of war is launched every
month from the Russian navy yards.
The military tactics of the infantry
regiments have undergone a radical
change of late. The Russian generals
have carefully watched the rapid
transformation of the German artille-
ry in the last few years, and now a
proposition for a similar TRANSFORMED
ton in Russia is under discussion.
Experiments have already been held
for this purpose.

ously proposed the health OF the
Commissioner as by happy accident
they we're both "sons OF the ould
Sod" vice-Consul Swanzy elo-
quently covered his toast, and one
prominent speaker regretted the
severance and the disruption OF
the ancient ties between America
and Britain, for il our Queen had
lived in those days the strife would
never have happened, and to. day
how proud we should be OF our
colonies. Among the other speak
ers were the Rev. Alex. Macintosh,
his son, A. st. M. Macintosh, DR..
Murray, Robert Cation, and Daniel
Logan. Capt. Berger in his speech
made quite hit in protesting
against the Anglo-American alliance
emitting the Germans. The Ger
mans were first cousins to the Bri-
fish and England's daughter had
and England's grandson now occu-
pied the German throne. For Cor
mans and Englishmen to fight
against each other was impossible.
To fight alongside of each other
was their duty.
The band played during the re-
past and the national airs Of Am
erica, Hawaii, Germany and Great
Britain, with much reminiscent
music and Hawaiian melodies were
given.

THE GRAND BALL.

The days celebration most hap
PLY closed with the grand ball at
Independence Park which was a
surprising success. Mr.. Geo. L.
Dali, chairman of the decoration
committee. and his aids, had trans
formed the hall into fairy scene
with evergreens and bunting, and
by consummate taste and skill had
blended the rich celoring into per-
feet harmony. The electric lights
worked we'll throughout, but they
were brought into strong contrast
with the brilliant steady light OF
the acetylene which furnished a
dazzling and charming illumina-
ton from the chandeliers.
An enlarged portrait of Briton's
Queen faced the rosy tint of "V. r."
while the banners of all nations
were entwined in friendly alliance.
The ladies' reception room, thanks
to the courtesy of Ordway and Por-
ter, was most charmingly comfort
able
James Dodd kindly volunteered
to watch the distribution of the
amber fluid which, owing to recent
events elsewhere, the Marshal de-
cided not to be sold, a restriction
imposed merely to test the gener-
osity OF few gentlemen, who i'm
mediately furnished an indulgent
supply rather than permit the funds
of the British Benevolent Society to
suffer from the censorial ukase
which resulted benefcially.
Unfortunately space will not per-
NIT the publication of the names OF
those who we're present, for they in
cluded almost all the haut ton and
officialdom, our own and those oil
all other nations here residing, and
many OF those whose hearts are true
and loyal to benevolence and love
of home.
The several committees worked
hard, faithfully and tactfully, but
their names are already familiar to
all. The refreshmsnt committee
with Tommy Krouse, deserve an
extra kindly word for the excellent
refreshments they furnished. The
music, too, was all that could be de-

In Honor Of Great Britain'S
Queen
All Nationslities Join ia a Hearty
Celebration Of the 10th Ami
versary of Her Msjesty's
Birthday.

Honolulu, and more especially
her British community, will long
cherish in pleasant memory the
Queens Birthday celebration OF 1898.
All things combined to make it
memorable event. Queens weather
prevailed throughout the day and
kept tho tsmpers and temperaments
OF all in happy mood. The Gov
erRment and the Legislature Of the
Republic of Hawaii joined most
courteously in observing the day
with friendliness and dignity, while
all classes and nationalities in our
community We'd with each other in
doing homage to the lady who rules
all hearts by her loving and motherly
character and life.
BY happy "fortuitous concourse
OF circumstances" the city was in
gala dress for the anticipated ar
rival OF the American troop, and
this gave an added eclat and warmth
to the occasion. although perchnnce,
the plumss were borrowed from
willing lenders. There is always q
tinge OF regret in the brightest Of
joyous celebrations, but the only
remissness on the part of the fates
in this respect was the absence OF a
British man-of-war TO add the
dignity of flags and salutes to the
occasion, and to aid the officers Of
the U S S Bennington in friendly
rivalry ON no floor Of the ball room.
THE RECEPTION AT THE LEGATION.
The days formal celebration open
ed with the official and friendly
calls upon Her Britannia Majesty
representative at his residence at
Palama. The Legation was most
tastefully prepared for the recep-
tion of the guests. The impression
that forced itself upon everyone
was that everything was in its right
place and the only comment that
could be made was Swell done and
in the excellent taste OF unobtrusive
simplicity" The affable manners
and heart friendliness, 80 peculiarly
characteristic and almost indigenous
to the true Irish gentleman, of the
host charmed all who called, and
involuntarily made them feel how
much they would like to be enrolled
among the ranks Of his personal
friends.
| The callers were numerous and
included the high officials of Hawaii,
the Diplomatic and the Consular
Corps, and large body of repre-
sentative citizens OF all nationalities,
and naturally large proportion OF
the residents who once owed sole
allegiance to Victoria's Flag, but
whose adventurous spirits led them
forth as pioneers of commerce and
advancement to foreign shores and
under foreign flags. Through the
courtesy OF the Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, Captain Berger's military
band furnished excellent music
while bumpers of champagne were
qualfed to "many happy returns Of
