This psalm was written by one who

saved his life. The cords Of death

seen world got hold upon H3e. e Then

me. Having been saved from .rh

render untot the Lord for all His benefits

that

the fact that It was the Lord who had
healed hlIu ana spared IN life, and his
desire was 10 return thauas ea.a the

a hundred books well read; half a
dozen pictures dearly priced; a home SO
small and simple that love can compass
its necessities; a garden that lies easily
under the hand Of its owner and yields its

The total imports and exports of
Hilo for 1898 show considerable in
crease in both. Last year the exports
amounted to 81 ,47O.79; this year,
according to the IIilo Tribune, they
amount to So, .255.32, an increase OF
$1,433, 7S4.53, which must make the
Hilo citizen rejoice with an exceed
ing great replacement. The imports
were, according to the same authority,
1926, 74S.29 in excess of the preceding
year. These are healthy signs and do
credit to the energy of the population.
There is undoubtedly a future for
Hilo and when it becomes a little less
provincial, it will cease to throw
filings at every one else in the group
and attend strictly to business.

INVESTIGATE.

No doubt there will be an investiga-
ton of the suicide from the Claudine
which occurred off Kawaiahae, on that
vessels return trip. 1t is one of those
cases which for the sake OF those con-
nected with the ship and those in any
way connected with the unfortunate
man, specially calls for investigation.
But The Stars argument is and al
ways will be that all cases of this kind
all eases of death which have not had
medical attendance, and all cases
where the Board of Health agent
states the cause of death as unknown,
are matters for investigation by the
authorities. An investigation by no
means argues that there is any cause
for suspicion, but it legally generates
everybody in any remote way con-
nected with the occurrence. On the
other hand, if there has been careless
ness, not amounting to criminal care
lessness, it is quite in the province of
those investigating to pass censure on
those who have been guilty of care
1essness.
1t is hard work to educate the Off
cials of the Islands to investigate I'M
less they think a matter is suspicious.
But it is not suspicion of foul play
which has to be considered, it is a le-
gal statement of the circumstances of
the case, entered in the public records
and in condition to be referred to at
any time. The objection to investi-
cation must be broken down and its
necessity must be understood.

how to play properly and in supervis-
ing that play. Allowed to run itself,
the place might very soon degenerate
into a little bear garden, where the
stronger children might terrorize the
weaker. Properly supervised River
park may become not only a delight
full place for recreation for children,
but the recreation may insensibly in
culcate good manners and good NOR
ais.
This has been recognized in many
cities of the United States, where or
CARNATIONS for the benefit of children
have taken the work i'm hand, and have
succeeded beyond their utmost aspira-
tions in using these places for the best
of educational purposes. Book learn
ing is not everything; there should
he play learning as well. 1t is one of
the things that we are behind hand
with in our common schools. In high
schools and colleges much attention
is paid not only to gymnastics but to
the proper bearing and skill in ordi-
nary games. This is specially neces-
sary here when we have so many diff
fercnt races mingling together.
The Star has suggested that some
move i'm this direction should be made
by +. w. Damon and the ladies of the
kindergarten Association. There are
many teachers in the public schools
who would also gladly join in such a
movement, for fortunately we have
those who are heartily devoted to
their profession The sooner action is
taken the better.

CHILDREN'S FAIRGROUNDS.

Now that the holidays are fairly ov-
er it is time that River park should
be attended to. There has been so
much to do by the different organiza-
tions of ladies in getting up Christ
mas trees and other entertainments
for the poorer classes of children, that
there was not time to begin upon the
most necessary work. Besides, owing
to the action of the Minister of Int
rior in allowing the park to be parti-
ally denuded of its soil for the pur-
pose of doing cheap job on a nearby
road, there was nothing to make a be-
ginning upon. But now it is different.
The dredger has been filing up the
hole that was made, and it will very
soon be in order to make a start.
In matters of this kind there must
be some one to take the lead. Unless
there had been some one to interest
himself in the laying out of Kapiola-
mi park, it never would have been the
beautiful place it is at this day. The
same may be said of Thomas Square
and of Emma square. 1t is not by
chance that anything is done, there
must be some one with a purpose and
a. will.
But the work at River Park consists
of more than the laying out of the
grounds. River park is to be essenti-
ally the playground of the children of
Palama, and there is much work to be
done in instructing young children

1t is satisfactory. to see how indus
trial education is spreading. The
school at Huelo, and Huelo is very
out of the way place indeed, seems to
be conducted by the right kind of a
teacher, for, according to the report
of Maui correspondent, his children
have done mat weaving and other han
diworll, while they have cultivated a
fine garden. This is the line that
great attention should be given to.
