Good reports continue to be made
regarding the young Fflipinos now in
this country and who are students at
various schools and colleges. There
are nearly 200 of these youths in the
United States, distributed in various
educational institutions. In a sense,
they are wards of our government, to
which reports of the work and the
conduct of the young men are sent.
These reports show that with very
few exceptions the Filipinos are indus.
trious and studious young fellows,
who have made excellent use of their
opportunities. Only one of the entire
number sent here has been returned
to his home on account of misconduct,
and very few have failed to give good
accounts OF themselves in every par
ticular. And when they go back to
the Philippines with an American edu-
cation, supplemented by some knowl-
edge of American political institutions,
they are likely to furnish important
leaven for the mass with which they
will mingle

Forestry In Norway.

Every little helps when it comes to
hints about forestry. Apropos Of the
recent announcement of an attempt
on an extended scale to raise trees
with a view to securing a supply of
railway ties, there comes some inter-
estlng information in the form of re-
port by Vice Consul Michael Alger,
representing the United States at
Christiania, Norway. The uninitiated
might suppose that a country like
Norway would have an abundance of
timber, but it seems that even in that
northern and arboreal region there is
necessity for employing the arts of
careful forestry. Vice Consul Alger
writes that forestry planting has at
tracted much attention in recent years,
and adds: There were 6,800,000 trees
planted and 74S pounds of seed sown
In 1905, of which 1,487,4 trees were
planted and 176 pounds of seed sown
by school children and other young
people. Forest planting is gradually
being introduced as a subject in the
public schools. Especially on the west
coast the school children have taken
much interest in the matter. In a
single parish 100000 trees have been
planted by them during the last three
or four years" The example set is
admirable, and the grown-ups as well
as the children of America might we'll
take lessons from the thrifty and pro-
gressive Norwegians. If it be desira-
BILE to protect and increase the forests
In that locality, subject to far less
timber depreciation than are the tree
covered sections of our own country,
how much more should it be urged
upon our people to guard their inter
ests in like manner?

REGULAR Hours for Feed.

Many farmers do not realize the
Importance of feeding their stock at
regular hours, but it is of great i'm
portance. Take a lot of hogs which
have to wait after their regular time
for feed and see how restless and
noisy they become. And what is true
of them is true in great measure
of other animals. The man who is
regular in his habits, eating at reg
ular hour, will, other things being
equal, thrive best, and be healthiest
and strongest; and what is true of
man in this regard is correspondingly
true of the lower animals. A farmer
can readily get into the habit of feed.
ing his stock regularly and they will
learn to expect it at a regular time
and rest patiently until the next feed.
ing period comes about. Experiments
in this direction would soon satisfy
the most doubling person Of the truth
of the value of regularity in feeding

sERMoNETTE.

"The word of the Lord was
precious in those days" - Not
to the people of Israel, but to
God. Spiritual life was at such a
low ebb in the nation that the
precious things of God were
withheld because God could not
give what the people were not
ready to receive. Ged never
wastes his revelation. He never
casts his pearls before swine.
Sad, lie IL not, to think that
there is only too often a condi-
son of life and heart which
shuts tight the windows OF
heaven and prevents the Divine
blessing from descending? The
word of the Lord Is precious
how precious we shall not fully
realize until we come into his
presence and the full knoWl-
edge of eternity. What poverty
of soul Is that which feels no
desire for the Divine message!
What fatal deafness to know not
|; or care not for Gods word!
"Speak; for thy servant hear
eth."-What If with every whis-
pering of the Divine voice in our
souls there would be the quick,
glad, eager response of Samuel?
} Many, many times day come
the gentle promptings to think
of God and to obey his will, but
as often they go unheeded, or
with the promise to listen when
a more convenient season has
! come. But mans convenience is
not the time of Gods revelation.
God does not deal in futures.
1t is present relationship which
he would bear to the human life.
And when he stoops to speak,
the soul must stop to listen. If
, it does not 1t is at its peril. God
may not speak again. Certain
it is, shat the message and the
blessing lost can never be
; regained. Other blessing and
} other message may come
from God as In mercy and
love God deals patiently with the
Indifferent soul, but there is a
; distinct and positive loss to that
soul for all time which fails to
take when God holds out TO give.
, Whether during the busy rush of
} the day, or during the still watch
es of the night, let US be eager
to say when Gods voice is heard
speaking In the soul: "speak;
for thy servant heareth."
} "And Samuel told, him every
whit."-It is hard to tell the
|; Truth to our friends, sometimes.
1t is easy to say the flattering
word, but Il Is quite another
thing to be frank and honest
and say the word which shall
point the error, and sound the
warning. But is this not really
the test of true friendship? 1t
may seemingly strain cur reIa-
tions with those whom we love
and hold in special esteem, but
in the end it will work to their
good and to the strengthening
of the ties of friendship. Deal
faithfully. Give Gods reveIa-
ton to the heart of another, even
though II is a message of con-
demnation and warning.

to me, is that the money which has
kept the company going, and which

mainly from members dues. The

to the conditions of the old form of

When members certificates lapse and

BOARD OF HEALTH

to fix things up and let Cupid get
away on the Friday evening boat, and
this was done, the meeting being held
in President Pinkhams room at the
hotel Here it was that Cupid was
given his written credentials, and left
fully authorized to speak fGr the
Board
Cupid will arrive nome tomorrow,
and a meeting may be called the lat
ter part of the week, but probably not
until the regular time of the meeting
next Wednesday, will the Board take
action on the matter again.
According to the understanding
which the Board is to sustain in for
NAL manner Wallach is to have
twelve lepers to work on, selected by
committee composed of two practic-
ing physicians selected by Wallach,
two selected by the Board of Health,
and a fifth to be chosen by the four
already named, these to select and eX-
anime the lepers for the experiment,
and at the end of year to examine
them again and pass upon the results
of the healer's work. The experiment
is not to go into effect until facilities
at the Kalihi receiving station are
adequate, by the new buildings to be
built, bids for which will be opened
next Wednesday noon.
Kuhio, Chillingworth and Lane, the
three Hawaiian leaders at the meet
ing made all kinds of promises Of what
shall befall the worm doctor, in case
he flunks out at the test, or fails to
make good his boasts.
Wallach is to have every facility to
work his cures without interference.
He will have absolute charge of his
patients, and will even attend to the
feeding of them himself, and may
guard them if he wishes to be sure
that they are not approached by any
one connected with the Board of
Health.
If there is no slip IN the lHogram
the political results of last week s
uGGIluB are LuOSI lulpOlIdul. Cuplu,
especially hopes, and will profit by
the change of wind. He felt most
keenly the Kisses of his fellow Ha-
waiians at the Aala Park meeting a
few weeks ago, and Chillingworth and
Lane were not in particularly good
standing with the natives either, after
the Wallach program had fallen
through. 1t seemed thai the Home
Rulers held the whip hand.
With the carrying out of the plans
now on foot, however, all three of
these leaders can rest on their oars,
and point to themselves as the saviors
of the Hawaiian race, in having ac-
complished what no one else had pow
er TO do-not even the Legislature
make Pinkham and the Board OF
Health take water.
AS a reward for all this it is under
stood that Cupid is to be returned to
Washington, as Delegate; Senator
Lane Is to become Honolulu's first
Mayor, next fall; and Charlie Motley,
the Home Rule Wallach agitator, will
be sent to the Territorial Senate.
