work which. whatever its truth in de-
tail-and there was doubtless much
truth-yet, by reason of its omissions
and its grouping. contained even more
untruth as n correct picture of civili-
zation. As an argument against the
OWLS inherent in slavery 1t was un-
answerable; as a presentation OF the
life It undertook to mirror 1t was
rather a piece OF emotional fiction In
fused with the spirit of an able and
sincere. but only partially informed
partisan. than correct reflection.
1t served a purpose far beyond the
dream. and. possibly. even the inter-
ton OF its author; 1t did much TO
hasten the overthrow of slavery; It
did no less to stain the reputation OF
the south and obscure what was
worthy and fine In its life. From that
time the people Of the south were re-
garded, outside its own borders. much
as shall we say, China is regarded
today-as one OF the. effete peoples
as an obstacle in the path of advance.
and possibly among many as an OBJ
ject of righteous spoil. Is 1t too much
to say that the idea OF the people OF
south by the people of the north was
that they were lazy. self-indulgent and
frequently cruel? That they passed

BOARD Of EDUCATION
BOOK QUESTION CAME
UP AGAIN YESTERDAY
G, W, HOdgSOn Of D. c. Heath &
Company Wants to Secure a
Contract to Furnish
Books.

The school book question occupied
the whole of the session of the Board OF
Education yesterday afternoon. c. w.
Hodgson. representing the book con-
Germ of d. C. Heath & Co., was present
with a proposition to furnish school
books for the coming year. The Board
took no action on the offer of Mr..
Hodgson one way or the other and,
from the views expressed by the MEM
bers. his chances for making a school
book contract in Honolulu are not
rosy.
The members present were Superin-
tendent Atkinson, Prof. Alexander, II.
NJ. Won Holt, Z. A. Mott-Smith, Mrs. w.
w. Hall, Mrs. E. w. Jordan, Inspector
Gibson and Secretary Rodgers On the
book question, f. A. Mott-Smith work
ed hard to get a resolution through,
prohibiting all contracts. Although
there was no second to his resolution,
the discussion Of the same was spirited.
The Board adopted the report Of the
committee on examinations, which pro-
vides that certificates shall be issued
to those receiving the highest per-
centagGs. Because Of marriages and
designations. vacancies among the
teachers had been caused. These were
filed yesterday.
When the closing hour came, Mr..
Hodgson had the floor. Adjournment
cut him short.
1t is not thought probable that he
will secure Il contract with the Board
when it is recalled that Agent Gum
of the American Book Company failed
in a like enterprise a couple Of months
ago.

limitations were read. At Holualoa, Ha-

Met His Match.

That well known historical person
age, Augustus the Strong, elector OF
Saxony. has furnished the subject for
many a tale Of his wonderful muscular
power. We need refer only to one
characteristic story in which, however,
he met his match. On the occasion In
question he entered q blacksmith's
shop. To show his suit how strong he
was, picking up several horseshoes, he
broke one after the other, asking the
blacksmith whether he had no better.
When 1t came to paying the bill, the
Elector Augustus threw a six dollar
piece on the anvil. 1t was a very
thick coin. The blacksmith took 1t up,
broke 1t in half, saying, Pardon me,
but have given you a good horseshoe
and expect a good coin In return"
Another six dollar piece was given
him. but be broke that and FIVE or six
others, when the Inundated elector put
an end to the performance by handing
the blacksmith q loulsd'or, pacifying
him by saying, "The dollars were prob
ably made of bad metal, but this gold
piece, hope, is good"

Malte-Brun had Just died. On the even
ing Of his death, when darkness had
fallen, his relations, five or six In num-
Der, each provided with a lantern,
slowly made the circuit Of the garden,
as IL they were searching for something
In the walks. When they came to a
large heap Of stones, they turned each
one Of them over and then re-entered
the house.
This curious procession is an old Nor
man custom. The dead person was

vVhx Hindoos DON'T Go Mad.

Why are there 80 few lunatic asy-
lums and so small a proportion OF In
sane persons In India? That is ques-
ton which many a traveller has won
deringly asked.
The Hindoos regulate their lives en-
tirely inaccordance with their religion
that is, their working, eating, sleeping
as well as what we usually regard as
our life" in the religious sense OF the
word. Everything is arranged for them'
and they follow the rules now Just as
they did 1000 years ago. This constant
observance Of the same rules for TWEEN
ty centuries has nodded the brains OF
the race into one shape, as 1t were, ana
although their rites are queer enough
vet there is but an occasional example
of that striking deviation from the
common which is called insanity IN
countries inhabited by the white race.
They are fatalists too. With them II
is a case Of what is to be will be"
carried to the extreme. This has In
time given them the power to take all
things calmly and so freed them from
the anxiety that drives so many white
men into the lunatic asylums.
