History sf the Word "TsIssram."

In the "reminiscences of Frederick Seward, son of William H. Seward, he tells of the day in the office of the Albany Evening Journal, edited by Thurlow Weed. the political Warwick of his time, when the word telegram" was first used in that paper. Indeed. 1t Is intimated that the word was there coined by one E. P. Smith and soon taken up and used generally i'll England as we'll as in the United States. To pronounce on the validity of this claim, who Is competent? But 1t is always interesting to get side light on the paternity of word.- Christian Science Monitor.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Dear Sir: The young plants in our
school garden are growing well, and
the boys are watching them daily.
Watching these plants grow and max
ing the soil around them loose is a
very interesting work. BY doing this
work the pupils know the different
kinds of vegetables and how to spell
their names,
The pear trees in our school yard
are in bloom and they look very pref
ty. One peach tree is also blooming
1t looks very beautiful to me. I wish
the legislature will set apart some
money for our new school buildings
SO that everything in or school yard
will be as beautiful as the trees.
Thanking you for publishing the
letters OF my assistants in your paper.
