Dear Unknown Friend-I am going
to tell you about the land shells Of
Hawaii. Land shells are very prettv
The scientific name is achatineIla in
Latln' a small agate. They are about
half an inch to one and a half inches
long. We-are sending some curios and
among them is the land shell. The
Hawaiian Islands have the most
species. there are ESQ kinds. They are
of many colors. A long time ago the
natives used to think the land shells
could sing-this is what they sang:
Kahuh aku,
Kahuli mai,
hahuli lei ula,
Lei ako lac
In English it means:
Sing of the night,
Sing of the light,
Sing of the red wreath now,
Wreath to crown the brow
Their homes are on trees. found in
the mountains. They do not like the
sunlight They are great travellers;
they always travel in the night Last
year some of US in the room went up
the mountains and got some very
pretty land shells. Some were yellow
and black and green. The boy that
found them made very pretty chain
of them. will close now, hoping you
receive the land shells all right.

DR.. j. H. Phillips, superintendent OF
Birmingham schools, has confined the
correspondence to the sixth grades in
this city. 1t is hoped that later on
other grades win be admitted into the
practical laboratory of exchange, so to

then be more extensive and varied.

fered by the News to annual subscrip-
tions is being used by the students as
guide to the practical work of ex-
change and personal correspondence.
The pupils in the two sixth grades are
all required to participate in this ex-
cellent system and it will be part of the
curriculum from now on. The students
are taught to go out and get the
products themselves. Several have al
ready gone to the iron furnaces of the
city and studied the process of making
iron, the mining of coal, the uses of
coke, gas and other resources in the
district. Usually the teachers assign
the pupils to various topics. The swift
mail service which the United States
furnished from any part of Hawaii to
the extreme possessions of the United
States further assures success in this
novel work and will no doubt encour-
age other schools to annex the sys-
tenn to the branches of geographical
and natural study.

UNIFORMITY OF DfroRcE.

MT. Samuel W. Dke, of Boston, sec retary of the National League for the Protection of the Family, after an in vestigation of many years into the di- vorce problem has reached the conclu- sion that the only practical remedy is a uniform divorce procedure in all the States. That, in his opinion, would be preferable to an attempt to secure an amendment of the Federal Constitution and a national law regulating divorce
 MT. Dike points out that twenty-three States have already enacted the uni- form law relating to negotiable bills Why should they not be able to enter into some arrangement respecting di- vorces? However, this seems to be the subject which has proved to be the most difficult of all the topics consid- cred by State commissions.

FISH AND BRAINN.

Of course the inhabitants of New Ha- ven don't need any advice about not eating fish to make their brains grow.
 They have never eaten fish for that
 reason, because their brains have all
 ways been big enough. But it may in
 terest some of them to notice that there isn't much to the once popular notion
 that fish is brain food. The London Lancet thus disposes of it: It is often said that fish is food which ministers particularly to the need of the brain,
 because it contains phosphorus. As matter of fact, fish does not contain
 more phosphorus than do ordinary
 meat foods, and it certainly does not
 contain it in a free state. The notion
 that fish contains phosphorus had its origin in the glowing phosphorescence of fish in the dark. This phosphores- cence is due not to phosphorus at all,
 but to micro-organisns. The belief, therefore, that fish is a brain food is
 just about as reasonable as the idea
 that because soup is thick and gelatin ous 'i. will stick to the ribs" or as
 sensible as the celebrated advice of Verdant Green to lay in a stock of
 Reading biscuits to assist his reading. Fish, of course, is excellent food, partly
 because of the nourishing nature of it's constituents and partly because of it's digestibility. But it is in no sense a specific for brain or nerve.
 This disclosure shouldn't be any dis
 couragement to those who have been eating fish to make their brains grow. The indications are that it is as likely
 to help increase the brains of such peo- pie as any food would be.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1904-04-08

divorces, the number of divorces thus obtained composes a small percentage of the total number granted yearly in all parts of the United States. The courts of Delaware. according to MT. Dike, are forbidden to entertain a suit for divorce for any cause arising prior to the residence of the petitioner in that State unless it were also a ground for divorce in the State where it arose. A similar law, in his view, might be adopted with good results by other States. MT. Dike is convinced that "an agreement of the churches is necessary to an agreement of the States, Cler- gymen representing various denomina- tions in New York have recently initi- ated movement with this object in view. but of course it will be hard for all the ministers to agree.
 More uniformity in divorce is certain ly needed and perhaps less divorce.

SEA-BArnISG 1T BRIDGEPoRE

The people of Bridgeport believe that they have pretty good ea-bathing, and they also believe that they are pretty good when they are enjoying it. It will interest and perhaps instruct them to notice how their antics in the water looked to Sister Margaret Pierce, who came over here from England and has had her eyes open since she has been here. She has just told the Essex County (New .Jersey) Womens Chris tan Temperance Union how the Bridgeporters looked to her while they were disporting themselves in 'the briny.'' "A friend. she said, took me down to see the bathing at the beach near Bridgeport. When saw men and women tumbling about in the water like hogs, without any sense of decency, I had such shock that I have never got over it. There was nothing in all England as horrible as that, I thought z
 This shows what can be seen few miles from New Haven if anybody has a seeing eye that is like Sister Pierce's eye We notice with pleasure that Sis ter Pierce didn't say that the good peo- pie of New Haven don't act right in the water. They do, and if the people of Bridgeport want to reform and suit Sister Pierce let them come to the Savin Rock shore this summer and learn
