Indeed one Is disposed ,io Mometlmes think that our climate .produces the best of results. "All work und no play makes Jack Jt dull boy," Is a good wholesome proa-orb. Thirty and forty years ago on ,the islands ,it used to be all work, and very little play, and what play there .wax, was of a somewhat pernicious character. The concluding quarter of .lost century saw the gradual Introduc tion of healthy sport into the Islands, und nothing should receive greater sup port, and more intelligent upplauso than any udditlon to our Held sports. A man is u better banker, a better .merchant, a better public servant, for iluivlng had his muscles trained and Jinrdened In the mimic strife of the .playing Holds. He learns Judgment, '.temper, and courtesy, and "those are Kood things to learn. Of course Karnes, like anything else, can be over done. Food Is an excellent thing, but because one likes food, one need not become a glutton. The tendency, how ever, to give .games un Importance In University life.

PLAYGROUNDS, The .attention of the general public is .once more turned' to public play grounds. This Is a subject which The titnr has advocated for many years. That we need ulr spaces for the poorer classes of our children is self evident. For a long time an effort was made to Het Aula as an air space, but an olll- cial constantly and effectually blocked any attempt, liven after the legisla ture passed nn act creating Aala Into a public park or playground, nothing was done, und that open space remains a dumping ground for old tin cans, lumber, and rubbish of all kinds, while the good soil which It once had bus been carted off elsewhere. Aula would have been a bright spot across the river by this tithe, If it had not received so fierce a tjlack eye from those In power. There was private mo ney ready to push Jhe" scheme along, and there were people ready and will ing to give their personal attention to the Improvement of JJie tract. Hut though the scheme hus up to the pros ent failed, there Is no reason why It should be given up. The Aala tract be longs to the people, and the time will come when It will be beautified and made u useful adjunct to the health and happiness of iho ppople. Other schemes for similar work may be In the ascendent, but Aala must not be forgotten. Just now attention is concentrated upon tho tract of land behind the Ku ' ttluwela school. This will undoubtedly make an Ideal playground, but It wll not bo entirely a public playground, us the udmlsslon to It will require Joining a certain society. While Tho Star gives Its cordial support to the cause Air, Itlchardu Is udvocating in that di rection, it still must point out that there should ho public, plnygrounds whore there Is no rtwtrlutlon of nny hind. What land Mr. Itluhards hna for the purpose he desires, ho has obtained by, strenuous effort, and he will so 1m- lt ie very well for the HnbeMevtotg layman to Inveigh again the law as an inexact science, and the 8ar bee very frequently dtecuonod the eubjeet, but to hear s lawyer arfee and Mate that "mathewMtUce ie the only exact eclence, while of all the ether acieneec, the science of law t the meet inexact' makea the layntan take a gaep. The gentleman who made thie statement a day or ao ago, the 84r tMnke min gled two dtatlnct tbtnga into one. The theory of law ie one thing. The practice of law is entirely a different thing. The glorious unceriaMtiee of the law belong to the latter category. It Is the practice of law which hi inexact and U no science at all, save in many la stances the science of chicane. The theory of the law Us mt clear cut and a scientific a mathematica, but the pure well hae been eheked by deci sions, counter decisions, minority deci sions, jM-ecedente and heaven knows what, until the limpid truth, which ought to be at the bottom of the logal well, is so befouled that no one can find It. Law Is not the only science which Is wrested aside by its expounders. Reli gion has a like fate. There is a true science of religion, but it is hidden un der such a mass of bulls, protests, cove nants, catechisms and other "Isms" that it true meaning Is lost, and many a bark which would follow a pure bea con light, goes straying off after veri table will o' the wisps, and reaches in all probability final ship wreck, save for the mercy of God. liven mathematics Is not so exact as one would wish it to be. If It were exact we might square the circle, which we cannot do, there always being that Interminable decimal over, which can never finish, carry It out as far as we choose to waste our time over It. Then there is the trouble over the ad ditional dimension which only the most nbstruse of mathematicians understand and which the ordinary layman cares nothing about. There are plenty of Inexactitudes all round, but law Is by no means the only, Inexactitude. Why law Is Inexact Is be cause It does not follow theory, but fol lows snup and very often vicious Judge ment.

S. Townseud says that none but the strongest should go out. All pioneer work is hurd, and tries the physique of a race. But pioneer work has to be done, und we have always found plenty of our ruce both ready and willing to do it. The success of u canoe voyage from Canada to Samoa umply illustrutes how it was possible for the most widespread Islands of the Pacific to be populated. Thousands upon thousunds of bold voy- uges may have been lost, but here and there enough survived to start the race on some new Islet to which the frail barks drifted. Large vessels are by no means those which survive the dangers of the sea. A north country coble muy weather a gale fur better than an Atlantic liner. Methylated spirits have again got their deadly work In. We can count over a dozen deaths to the discredit of this poison during the past year, and there are probably many more which can be counted up against It.

From tho article written by It. C. L. Perkins, It would uppcar that wo ought to go slow when Introducing tho wood pecker.

Tho woodpecker may bo an excellent help to forests In his own habitat, but he muy be the very roverso here. Wo have had con siderable experience In this line, hut apparently wo will not learn, Tho In troduction of the mongooNo can not bo regarded as an unqtiullded success. It did not destroy the rat, as It was in tended to do, but It did destroy many of our game birds and It sent up the price of poultry, Had It not been for a forlunato circumstance, wo would have had a wholesalu Introduction of snakes, which would havo made our lives a burden to us. The woodpecker may bo an inoffensive bird In his own forests, hut there seems every chance that ho would play havoo In ours. flens' Furnishing Department : JL Men's lisle thread half hose, silk stripes and polka dots grand value.
