no true peace in the family or in
the nation; and, lacking peace,
ruin ensues. That is logic.
An incorporate one is unsound,
lacks balance, and so, cannot rea-
son-cannot make a Judge, for
instance of an Incorporate man.
We all know what these things
mean.
So, it is so far, a very warm
season, and only July.
Bishop Willis is fifty years in
orders today. 1t must be very
quiet life at Tonga. But it was
quiet here, too, on his arrival; all
was in narrow compass at that
time-"June, 1872" Honolulu
was then indeed a country village.
But it must be something more
than dull in Nukualofa, Tonga.
1t will not be dull on Hottest,
with the Young Cafe and its
music, and Manager Cohen and
his new theater. 1t is a nice little
theater, not so very small, and
certainly has an excellent locality,
with good surroundings to keep
it a frst-class theater. There will
always be the Y. M. c. A. and
the Young Hotel, with the fine
Elite Building opposite, and al
ways Bishop-st. with its beautiful
park. So, the theater has fine
environment to give it an impetus.
Good shows are always accept
able with the general public. A
poor show is in bad taste, and
yields no income or favor, finally.
The doors must close in due time,
and the dues paid, from lack of
principle!
A wicked play, whether drama
or moving picture, is truly bad
investment for the owner, and can
be of no use in this city of Homo
lulu.
1t would be an ignorant strang-
er that would undertake any such
show here. This city is closely
but quietly safeguarded, as far as
may be, from vicious influences.
We must hope that the Curfew
law will continue to be an all
alive ordinance. Nine o'clock is
none too early for growing chill
dren to be asleep in their homes.

My! how those trees grow, Ell?
Fine.
More thanlikely they want to
please the Manager, that gives to
them pleasant look as he walks
about, for he is fond of plant life.
Everybody, in fact, likes the man
ager, for he spares no pains to
make every guest feel at home
and comfortable. All notice his
thoughtful kindness, early and
late. Not strange that strangers
like to go in there.
Kindness wins the world over.
Yes, and true unselfsh kindness
win the world over to us, strang-
ers or old friends; it reacts, re-
bounds, so to speak. Mr. Hert-
sche upstairs is the same; so the
Hotel is doubly favored in it's
management.
July 1o-Wray Taylor, former
ly resident of Honolulu, but for
the past ten years in San Fran
cisco, died yesterday morning, a
cablegram to that effect having
been received in this city. He
gave the first organ recital in the
Islands and rang the first chime
of bells. He was the assistant at
the dedication of the organs OF St.
Andrews, Central Union, Oahu
College, Hilo Foreign Church,
Makawao Foreign Church, Kau-
makapili Church, and Kameha-
meha Chapel.
Mr.. Taylor won host of
friends in Honolulu for his many
kind and most faithful offices at
St. Andrews and other churches,
always ready to help. He will
never be forgotten by his friends
in this Territory. His chillren
have inherited his talent for music
and one daughter is the able or
ganist of St. Andrews, where her
father served for twenty years.

How many faces we all loved to
see on the streets, have left us in
the past few months, gone silent
ly out of Our lives anil Our inter
ests, never to return.
A thoughtful and sober-minded
man of experience said to us:
But no one ever comes back to
tell us anything about the Other
place-what it is like" And he
was very serious. But if we pray
and trust and ask for faith.
That company has been re
hearsing for many hours, getting
in readiness for the opening, to-
night. Truly they work.-(The
New Orpheum.'
Supt. Rath is a tall man, and
from the report sent in, looks like
he is doing tall work at Palama.
July S-We are glad to read to-
day that Miss Dawson looks
closely after neglected and hungry
children, sometimes maltreated
and cannot defend themselves.
One abused little one ought to
arouse the attention of any Judge
and jury.
July 13-Who could ask for a
better set of men than the Rapid
Transit; they are a prohibition
and a promotion lot, always try
ing to prevent anyone from jump
ing on and off the cars at wrong
times, always directing strangers
how to get the most ride for one
five cents-civil, patient and alert,
losing no time, and attending to
the work before them as if the
car really belonged to them.
July 14-Yes, these are, to us,
all warm days; but Prof. Scott
says, not more so than usual at
this season. We do not murmur
when thinking of other cities!
Why will people venture to fly
only to so often be dashed to their
death? How many of late, truly
terrible to read.
When we go in the Cafe, we
forget our coffee, looking at the
beautiful windows of palms; they
tell us the electric lights there
make them flourish; anyway, we
see they grow-something favors
them.
Perhaps they want to be tall
like the trees opposite in the park.

nicely shown in an instance which

fact that the bearer had lost his voice,

the smell of the cOnifers would restore

STORING CELERY FOR WINTER.


For readers who have raised celery
this year for the first time a sugges-
ton may be helpful along the line OF
storing it for winter use. Ii the va
riety liz an early maturing sort, like
the Golden Self Blanching. all that is
needed to be done is to take the plants
up with plenty Of root and pack them
snugly in box Of sufficient size to ac-
commodate the amount to be stored
Unless the earth is quite motst-there
should be n layer OF 1t at the bottom
OF the box-it is well to give 1t thor
ouSh sprinkling before the roots are
set in. IN the case OF later and larger
varieties which have not bleached ut
all at the time the plants are taken up
the box in which they are stored
should be so arranged that the roots
of, the plants can be watered at inter-
walls without wetting the tops. This is
best done by boring holes here and
there I'm the bottom of the box and
placing it in a tray of larger size In
which water can be poured or. IL the
floor of the storerOom Is earth, in de-
preston into which water can be
poured. In either case sufficient mois-
ture will be absorbed by capillary at
traction through the holes in the bot
tom Of the box to supply the plants.
Pouring water on to the plants from
above, as is usually done when they
are growing in the open ground. tends
to rot the tops. We have tried wrap
ping each stalk of celery we'll to the
roots with pieces Of newspaper before
putting away. but do not think it gives
any better results than the use of
clean straw or earth

That the dislike on the part OF some
pupils to attending school Is very
real and not a whimsical matter was
shown not long ago in two instances
which were reported in the public press
the one. a boy who hung himself in
the barn rather than 90 to school; the
other. girl who took poison rather
than endure the ordeal. 1t may have
been that due to enforced absence in
earlier years or slowness of mental
operations they were far behind other
scholars of equal age and suffered con-
tinuous humiliation when forced to
measure up with them in the class
room. In any event. the incidents cited
show very conclusively that there are
not infrequently cases when it is the
part of wisdom i'm both parents and
teachers to acquiesce in a pupils de-
sire to quit school and take up work at
home or elsewhere.

Little Science Stories for Laymen

Ozone, which is an allotropic form
of oxygen, has long been recognized
as an active purifying agent in the
atmosphere owing to its powerful
oxidizing qualities; but the question
of its origin has been much Disputed.
The investigations of Henriet, in
France, have led him to the conclu-
sion that ozone forms in the upper
regions of the air; probably under
the influence of the ultraviolet radi-
ations from. the sun, and that it is
brought downward toward the sur
face OF the earth both by descending
air currents and by drops OF rain.
\ After a shower OF rain the quantity
of ozone I'm the air liz always found to
have been increased.
