Institution Shows Much Progress In
Last Six Months.

| The semi report of the Jap
anese Boarding School from July / to
i December 81, 1900, shows an interesting
state of affairs at this institution. The
school had to face a deficit of $3.50 %
at the opening of the year. A large
number of wealthy Honolulans are in
terested in the welfare of the school
and will, as in the past, undoubtedly
put it on its feet.
The principals report is as follows:
In submitting tins semi-annual report
we wish to take this means and oppor-
tunity of thanking all our generous and
kind-hearted friends who have assisted
US in our financial difficulties.
The high duties imposed on Asiatic
foodstuffs have led the merchants TO
raise their prices and has increased our
financial difficulties.
We wish also 10 thank Drs. Iga Mort

note the improved conduct and behavior
of the children in our care.

Before they smile at me.

To catch the m~usic-faint. yet clear

And fierce winds drive the heavy clouds.
And seagulls landward fly In crowd
On hmpest-beaten wing,

To feel the sun again. and say.

How Iithuanfans play Dice.

A peculiar dice game is ipdulged in

AS they sit or stand about the tables
the careworn features of old men
contrast strongly with the rudy

with which the players seek the num-
