Cookiug-c classes have been popular
among fashion able young ladies of late
years; but there is no cooking class which
quite equals in its opportunity for excel

talking to girl who has just left school,
| advise you to make use of your leisure
in taking lessons from your mother.
There is an absolutely splendid feeling
| of independence in knowing how to make
perfectly light, sweet, substantial bread.
Then try your hand at biscuits, mullins,
corn bread, toast, and all the different
forms into which bread -stuffs may be
blended. Toast seems simple thing
enough, but is frequently so i'll made
that it does not deserve the name. Cruel,
a necessity of the sick-room, is often
hopeless mystery to women who have no
idea of how it is evolved from the raw
material. After you have mastered the
bread question, try meats and vegeta-
bles.,


Any girl who can comprehend an equa-
ton, or formulate syllogism, can over
come the difficulties which beset her when
learning to cook. Lucent sYrups, golden
cakes, delicately-browned bread, qulVer
ing iellies, melting creams, and the whole
set of meterial things gloriiied, because
made for loves sake, and for the good of
ones dear ones are fit expressions for my
woman. The charm of this accomplish
ments lies in the fact that it imparts to
its owner gratifying sense of power; it
bestows on her, too, the power of blessing
and resting those she loves best. Where
ever the cook goes she takes her welcome
along. One may tire of the sweetest
singing, of the loveliest poetry, or of the
finest painting, and of the most witty

BY the terms of the treaty lately concluded
between the United States Government and
the Samoans, it will be seen that the United
States have secured important privileges,
which will be advantageous to both govern
ments and people. We were led to believe,
from rumors heretofore published respecting
the terms of the treaty, that that instrument
contained provision in express terms for a
protectorate of the Samoan Islands by the
United States; but we do not find such an
agreement in the treaty; and yet it is to all
intents and purposes protectorate, for the
simple reason that the United States would be
bound, according to international law, to aid
and defend the government of the Samoan Is
lands, in case of any attempt on the part of
any other Power to exercise control, or usurp
rights in derrogation of the people OF Samoan
This is well understood by all parties con-
cerned. The following is the full text of the
treaty, as we find it published in the news
papers, which we take to be correct copy:


ARTICLE 1. There shall be perpetual peace and
friendship between the Government of the Samoan
Islands and the Government Of the United States.


ARTICLE III. Naval vessels of the United States
shall have the privilege of entering and using the
port of Pago, establishing therein and the shores
thereof station for coal and other naval supplies
for their naval and commercial marine and the
Samoan Government will hereafter neither exercise
nor authorize any jurisdiction within said port ad-
to such rights OF the United States or resric-
tive thereof. The vessels shall also have the
privilege of entering any other ports of the Samoan
Islands.


Citizens of the United States shall likewise have
free liberty to enter The ports with their ships
and cargoes of whatsoever kind, and sell the same
to any of the inhabitants of those islands, whether
natives foreigners to barter them for the pro-
ducts of the islands All such traffic in whatsoever
articles of trade barter shall be Free except that
trade in firearms and munitions of war with the
Islands shall be subject to regulations by that
Government


The above treaty has one great merit, which
is brevity; indeed, we may say it has two
great merits-brevity and directness, and
therefore does not possess the objection SO
often found in such documents, namely, that
it says what it does not mean Ambiguity is
the curse of diplomatic documents.

To The Editor of tie Haieaiian Gazette:


DEAR SIR:-1 should like to send you article,
from time 10 time concerning horses stablng, shoe
ing, etc. The horse needs champion here but am
half afraid my efforts will result did those of Ger
vantes' hero, who attacked the wIndmills-nil.
However, as purpose telling those who do not
know how to take care of good horse how to do
so when they get one, perhaps others may be in
duced to read and reflect


STABLING FOR HoRsEs.-Unless the horses feet
be sound and good, he cannot stand any severe
strain. This is especially true of driving horses !;
and more care should be bestowed upon the foot
of the horse by all horse owners than is now given
There are, perhaps parts of the horse which re-
quire more attention and yet which receive less,
than do the feet. While it very true that nearly,
if not fully, half of the lameness in horses arises
from careless incompetent shoeing, recklessly
pairing away the frog OF the foot and worst of all,
burning the foot with hot shoe, yet very much
might be traced to the stables Many fine horse
has been ruined by being kept on a board or plank
floor in the stable, and no attention paid to the feet
TO keep them in a healthy condition A board floor
in stable is very hard on the foot of horse, max
ing it harsh, brittle and dry and in an unfit coudi-
tion to endure driving, even an ordinary hard

and second only to board floors, in the bad ef-
fects upon the feet. This is especially true in this
climate, where the thousands of flies and mosqui-
toes which nfest most stables constantly annoy the
horses and cause them to continually stamp and
pound the floors in their eagerness to get rid OF
these pests.


The most natural, as well the best floor for
stables is clay one. The stalls, when being made,
should be filled in With the clay to a required
depth giving the stall floor sufficient slope carry

Seems to be wanted on this Island particu-
lsrly. We have had little or no rain in this
city for the past seven months. The supply
of water in the reservoir for the use of the
people of Honolulu has been scarce for some
weeks, whilst every effort has been made, and
every precaution taken, by the authorities to
keep up the supply. 1t is fact, however,
that notwithstanding the scarcity, the people
of this city do not exercise that prudence and
economy of the water that they should. We
are informed, that, when the supply is shut
off say at o'clock in the evening, and turDed
on at on the following morning, the reser-
voir usually gets full during the night The
experiment has been tried of letting the water
supply on, on alternate nights, to see what
becomes of the water, when people are pre-
sumed to be asleep and not using it. The
result of these experiments goes to show that
nearly as much water is consumed at night as
during the day. How can this be accounted
for, unless upon the supposition that very
many persons waste large quantities of water
at night by carelessly leaving their water taps
open. In some cases it has been found that
the taps have been completely severed from
the stocks, and the water suffered to run both
day and night. This kind of wanton careless
Year: 1878

ness should not be permitted if it can be put
stop to. But the authorities cannot always
detect these leaks in time to stop them, till
large quantities of water are wasted. 1t is
the duty of all good citizens to be careful
of the water at time like the present, in
order to aid as much as they can, the efforts
of the superintendent to keep up the supply.
We understand that it is the intention of His
Excelency the Minister of the Interior to
make some important suggestions to the next
Legislature upon the subject of supplying
Honolulu with an abundance of water at all
times; and in this connection we take the
liberty of suggesting the necessity as well as
propriety of the citizens of this city giving to
the Minister all the assistance they can in his
efforts to secure the needed pecuniary aid to
carry into practical effect his recommenda-
tions

IT is really surprising to what uses the
this new and wonderful invention will be in
almost, if not all pursuits. We find in a col
onial paper that the telephone has been found
to subserve the purposes of holding conver-
sation with people far down below the surface
of the earth-in the deepest mines. Hereto
fore it has been most difficult matter to
communicate with the miners from the outside
world by any appliance in vogue, but the tele
phone has solved the difficulty and furnished
the most certain means of communication, as
will be found by the following extract, which
we clip from the otago Witness, Dunedin,
New Zealand, of recent date:


Hitherto speaking signals to the surface have
been possible in mines of great depth, and cord
signals have been very unsatisfactory. On Tuesday,
DR.. Foster Government inspector of mines, and his
brother, eminent London electrician, conducted
experiment at the Eliza Mine, st. austel, with
the telephone, which never previously had been tried
in mine. The instrument attached to q covered
copper wire sent down the ventiating shaft and
within a quarter of an hour speaking at the bottom
of the mine distinctly heard. Even more audi
bic whisperings from the bottom of the mine.
Songs were sung and questions asked and answered.
demonstrating the complete adaptability of the tee
phone to mines. The instrument used by miners
and others who had it before, and as it
so simple, inexpensive, and quickly fixed. it might
be adopted in every mine in the country next week
An aiarum calls attention when communication is
desired at either end. The Importance of the tele-
phone in mining industries can scarcely be over
estimated. as the wire and instrument are portable
and can be carried to the extreme point of any
mine"


From the above il is plain that this new in
vention is destined to come into general use at
no distant date.

VIZ have Published several articles on the
Tom Paine question from time to time, merely
to give an opportunity for both sides to be
fully heard. This we consider fair. But
there must be a limit to everything human,
and we kindly suggest to the dsputants in
this matter, the propriety of a cessation of hos
tilities. inasmuch as we think the subject
pretty well exhausted. The article we pub
lish this week seems to be broad side into
the whole camp of Tom Paine's enemies on
these Islands. We express no opinion as to
the relative merits of the arguments on either
side, except that we think it time for the
writers to turn their talents to some other
subject, the discussion of which will be pro-
ductive of more good than establishing by
proof or argument, whether Paine died a re-
canting rebel or not. We have learned one
lesson in our experience, and that is, that we
never knew any good to come out of accrimo-
nious discussions on religion or politics and
it is strange, but true, we have always found
those persons most fond of such discussions,
the least sanity animals in the world. We
think that Alexander Pope hit the nail on the
head when he wrote,


"For modes of faith let senseless zealots fight


BE can't be wrong, whose life is In the right"
" Let him who thinketh he standeth, take
heed lest he fall"

Do You hear the scandalmongers


Passing by,
Breathing poison in o whisper


In sigh;
Moving cautiously and slow,
Smiling sweetly as they go.
Never noisy-gliding smoothly like snake
Slipping here and slipping there
Through the meadow fresh and fair
Leaving subtle slime and poison in their wake.
Saw you not the scandal -monger


As she sat-
Beaming brightly meath the roses


In her hat?
In her dainty gloves and dress,
AnGel-like and nothing else
Seemed She-caSting smiles and pleasing words about
Once She shrugged and shook her head,
Raised her eyes and nothing said
When you spoke Of friends; and yet it left doubt.
Did you hear the scandal-monger
At the ball
Through the music. rhythm, beauty
Light and all?
Moving here and moving there,
With whisper light as air
Casting shadows on a siSter-wOman's fair fame
Just whisper, word. or glance
/ As she foated through the dance =
And the world is busy with a spotless name.
| You will find the scandal mongers
Everywhere:
! Sometimes men, but often women
Young and fair.
Yet their tongues drop foulest slime,
And they spend their leisure time
Casting mud on those who climb by work and words
Shun them! Shun them as you go!


Shun them whether high or low =
They are but the cursed serpentS of the earth.

An AWFUL SroRY.-There was once an
awful little girl who had an awful way Of
saying awful to everything. She lived
in an awful house, in an awful street, in an
awful village, which was an awful distance
from every other awful place. She went to
an awful school, where she had an awful
teacher, who gave her awful lessons out Of
an awful book Every day she was so
awful hungry that she ate an awful amount
Of food, SO that she looked awful healthy.
Her hat was awful small, and her feet were
awful large. She went to an awful church,
and her minister was an awful preacher.
When she took an awful walk, she climbed
awful hills, and when she got awful tired she
sat down under an awful tree to rest her.
self. In summer she found the weather
awful hot, and in winter awful cold. When
it didn't rain there was an awful drought,
when the awful drought was over there was
an awful rain. So that this awful girl was
all the time in an awful state, and if she
don't get over saying lawful about every.
thing. we are afraid she will, by.and.by,
become an awful bore.
