The Presbyterians Of Australia
have agreed to form a union among
themselves for the purpose of
spreading the Christian faith in that
part Of the world through the Pres
byterian church. The spirit of fed
Grafton among the Presbyterians is
not only prevalent, in Australia, but
it is likewise meeting with favor in
Mexico and other South American
republics. 1t is also strong in In
dia, where Presbyterian missionar-
les have for many years done heroic
work among the natives. The Pres

October, at which time a plan for
federating the entire Presbyterian
Association in that section Of the
world will be laid before the conven-
ton and will doubtless reyeice a
hearty and unanimous approval.

TEA DRINKING.

The theory advanced by one Hol-
land, an Inter-Ocean correspondent,
to the effect that the American peo-
pie were not drinking tea so exten-
sively as in former years is not borne
out by the reports of tea imported
from China. In 1873 China sent us
32,013,OOO pounds of tea; in 1888,
39,597,365 pounds; in 1899, 49,

YOUTHFUL DETECTIVEIsM.

DR.. Parkhurst's idea Of enrolling
Sunday school children into amateur
detective bands for the purpose Of
checking the sale of liquor to min
ors is not meeting with very general
approval among the parents of the
children. Distilled liquor is mon
ster of such hideous mein that to be
hated the effects of it need but to be
seen, and it is a well established fact
that it is even worse than this when
taken by minors, yet it seems long
step in the wrong direction to make
detectives out Of Sunday school chill
dren, even if it is done to detect evil.
The idea gives no evidence Of prac-
ticableness, but strikes the average
American citizen as both ridiculous
and absurd.

OUR RAILROAD GROWTH.

It is remarkable almost beyond
measure of the marvellous growth
that the railroad systems of
this country have enjoyed for the
past seventy-fve years. While Am
erica is characteristic for its indus
trial progress, its railroad progress
seems to have surpassed that Of any
thing else. Railroad building began
about 1882, and during that year
there were in operation but 200
miles Of railroad, but in 1910 the
record shows that there were 2,118
miles in operation, and since that
time the record for every ten years
is as follows: In 1850, 9,021 miles;
1860, 3O,625 miles; 1870, 52,922
miles; 1880, 93,262 miles; 1890,
166,703 miles, and in 1900, 1913, ,343
miles. This great railroad building
has added vast amount of wealth
to our country and, according to Mr..
Joseph Nimmoe, who has carefully
compiled the wealth of the railroads
since 1850, the following figures
have been given out by him:

The reader of this must concede two
important points-first, that which fol-
lows, having taken place in Honolulu,

ference between opinions publicly ex-
pressed by resident of Honolulu in
Honolulu local papers and the opin-

columns which were originally drafted
in Maine or Montana. Read the fol-
lowing:
Mr.. S. Hanoland, of this city, is a

back for some time, procured sup

tory and l know that the pills are a

home testimony? The following are
some Of the results and indications Of

MATTERS BEFORE
BOARD OF HEALTH
The QUESTION of Building on
Filled-in Land in China
town.
CFrom Saturdays Daily.)

f. ]. Lowrey took the chair at the
Board of Health meeting yesterday, Pres
ident Raymond being on Maui.
Attorney Brooks appeared before the
Board to protest against the refusal or
a permit for building on certain filled-in
land in Chinatown on River street, own
ed by Chock Sing and Lau Yin. The
Board some time ago adopted resolu-
ton requiring all land in the district to
be filed to the grade before permits were
issued. Superintendent of Pupnc Works
lMcCandless construed the resolution to
mean that no permits would be given
iuntill all the blocks had been filled in.
whereas the intention of the Board was
| to limit the refusal only to the lots
which did not comply with the require
ments.
permit.
Timothy Murray also wanted a permit
to build a blacksmith shop on land near
INuuanu street, which was to be filled In.
Hc was informed that when he had done
the filling-in, he might apply for the
permit.
1t was argued that it might work
hardship to compel an owner to fill in
Ia big area when he had use for but
small portion of land.
The eggs packed in soil which come
here from China and the sale of which
was objected to by the Board of Health,
were again discussed. Surgeon Car
michael of the Marine Hospital Service
wrote that no such eggs had been i'm
ported to Hawaii from China since June
IA, 1900. Their importation was practical
ly prohibited, and all cargoes from ORR
entail ports for United States ports are
inspected by United States medical OFF,
,cials before leaving the Orient.
The committee on "burials in the Ko-
ma district" recommended that not more
than one body should be buried in one
grave. 1t has been a custom among
natives and Orientals to economize by
putting bodies one on top of another.
Sometimes as many as four or five We're
in a tier. The real object of the Boards
objections is to stop further burials in
the City district when the cemeteries are
filled.
DIR. Pratt said that Japanese calling
on him for a permit to bury a friend in
the Japanese Society's" plot, said the
dead man had not been a member of the
society but that all Japanese became
members when they died. 1t developed
that the Japanese Consul looks after the
matter and that the society is really on
ly to provide for the interment of all
japanese who die in Honolulu.
Lowrey asked the Boards understand
ing as to the furnishing OF drugs to
kirdergartens. 1t was n question of
whether such supplies had been cut Off
entirely or merely limited. 1t was agreed
that while the supplies had been stopped,
the dispensary physician should furnish
them on requisition signed by Execu-
tive officer Pratt.

man who had lived a year among the
palms and boarding houses, He was
getting his shoes polished and was
searching through his pockets for a
stray dime as he spoke.
This is Saturday and that's the
sixth ten-cent piece I've shelled out
this week; tomorrow I'll have to pay
fifteen cents, and all because man has
got to look decent or do his own pol
ishing. I've just been figuring up
what a donkey OF financier l am.
Here's a pair of shoes that cost me
fOur-fifty. In order to make them look
presentable it has cost me ten cents a
day at the bootblack's stand. Ten
cents a day for 325 days and fifteen
cents a day for forty Sundays means
an outlay in fashion and shoe-polish
of just $3.50 a year. Do you grasp my
meaning? That represents just eight
pairs OF shoes that might have owned
