CHAS. M. MtllLOND. THE TEACHEKS CONVENE. Quarterly Meeting of Pedagogues of Hilo District. The thirty-third quarterly meet ing of the Hilo Teachers' Union took place Friday, May 16th, at the Union school. A concert recitation of the Lord's Prayer opened the meeting. After the roll call and reading of minutes, the only item of business presented was a petition addressed to the In spector Gcscral of Schools, Mr. A. T. Atkinson, for the occasional loan of Honolulu's agricultural teacher, Mr. Iliggins. It was voted to sign and scud this petition. Miss Lycan brought in a class with which she illustrated the study of spiders as it was outlined at our last meeting. The children were very eager and much inter ested consequently were them selves interesting. The class was awarded a vote of thanks. Papers prepared by Mrs. Bar bour always insure us a pure, mu sical Kuglish which is delightful to the car, so, luougu "boils were never supposed to superinduce great enthusiasm when considered in the abstract, yet we settled ourselves for a treat because of the treatment Mrs. Barbour accords any subject. Soils were defined according to characteristics. Sand, a collection of minute particles of rock, the color depending on the character of the rock. Gravel, an extremely coarse sand, mostly pebbles. Clay, a heavy, wet, clinging soil, very productive. Loam, a mixture of clay and sand, and the rich soils produced by decaying vegetable matter. The study of the making of soils and their transportation by water from higher to lower levels, is fol lowed by the study of the action of other natural forces on soils. From this the advance to the considera tion of aids to vegetable growth is in order. Not the least of these aids, are ants and earthworms, which we usually undervalue. Mrs. Curtis favored the teachers with a recitation of "Emmy Lou's" tvoou ill cohool llfo no filuiwl! Ijy George M. Martin. The discussion on school music was opened by Miss McCord, who declared music an essential to the proper mental, moral and physical development of children. Often music aids in discipline, transform ing bad natures into good ones. Good may be stimulated and directed in children by music, though music may also be used to accentuate evil. Because of this latter fact, our school songs should be only of the best, both music and words. Music is restful and en livening. There is much of school work that may be rendered more valuable by timing it with music. Accuracy and celerity arc culti vated, and slovenly methods of work overcome by this means. As a practical illustration of this state ment, Mr. Smith introduced a class which did admirable work in writ ing, timing the fore-arm move ments by music. Miss Potter gave a short talk on teaching the value of promptness and nunctuality. As traits of character they are invaluable aids to neatness and dispatch. A second recitation by Mrs. Curtis, giving one side only of u telephonic conversation, greatly amused the audience. Mr. Beers gave a rendition of "Sweet Aftou" which was very pleasing. Extracts from a diary kept from 1828-1841 by Mrs. Judd, were read by Miss Deyo. The references were mainly to Kaahumanu, the queen dowager, favorite wife of Kamehameha I. The last number on the program was an exhibition of wood carving, given by Mr. C. 0. Smith, with an accompanying paper. 111 old tunes too much manual labor was done in homes, now too little. Manual training at school is now a necessity as an aid to facility in the use of both flutters and tools. A full course in paper and pasteboard work should be given before under taking work in wood. The first meeting of the coming school year is to be held Sept. 26, with Mrs. Barbour, Miss M. L. Deyo and Mrs. Tracy to arrange the program. MK. WARE IS A POET Now Commissioner or t'cirsloli's, Tor mer lomitt, Onec an Editor. Topeka, April 1 2. ljugcjic Ware, of this city, the new commissioner of pensions to succeed II. Clay Evans, was born in Hartford, Conn., 60 years ago, but went West at an early age and settled in Iowa. His education he himself claims he picked up in the Seventh Iowa cavalry. He is an accomplished linguist. He entered the war as a private and came out as a captain. After the war Mr. Ware engaged in the newspaper business for n year as assistant editor of the Burlington Hawkcyc. He was the predecessor ol "Bob" Burdcttc and made a state reputation on the paper, but did it at the expense of his health. He went to Fort Scott, Kas., in 1867, almost a walking skeleton. The Kansas climate looked him over, concluded there was enough frame work to commence 011 and started in to rebuild his physical structure. Mr. Ware had studied law before he left Iowa, but was not admitted to the bar until he went to Kansas, since then he has made law his business and literature his pastime. He has made a success as a lawyer. His "Rhymes of Ironquill" stand at the head of Kansas poetry. He hasn't been much of a politician, but twice he has been elected to the state senate. Oil or Tolmcoo. Some interesting investigations have just been published by the analysts of the government labora tory with respect to what is known as the "oil of tobacco." In mak ing up raw tobacco leaf into the article with which we fill our pipes manufacturers use olive oil, and at one time they made a use of it which, like Sam Weller'skuowlcdgc of London, was extensive and pe culiar. In order to protect the smoke a paternal legislature has enacted that no more than 4 per cent of olive oil shall be used by manufacturers for "making up" or "flavoring" and the hiisiw i;Kc manufacturer has sometimes complained that this 4 per cent is not sufficient allowance, because the tobacco leaf itself supplies an oil which might be mistaken for the manufacturing product. T'he gov ernment analysts have, therefore, experimented with forty-six tobac cos and they fine that the essential oil of tobacco usually exists only in the smallest of quantities, some times not more than .05 per cent. The oil is a parifin technically a parign hydrocarbon. Values of Loudon Property. Land at 2,613,600 an acre does not frequently come into the mar ket, even in London, but a few years ago, when the freehold of 54 Cheapside was sold, the sum it realized was at the above rate per acre; that is to say, a piece of ground that could be covered by an ordinary penny postage stamp realized 6s. ujd., not at all a bad price for a paltry five-sixths of a square inch of estate to attain. Judging from the ground rents se cured on 10 Churchill, which five or six years ago realized .42,500; that is to say, at the rate of prac tically .655 a square foot, or 2, 452,023 per acre, there are many other delectable spots in the city worth their area in beaten gold, but it is wonderful how prices fall away when the site lias not got n frontage on a main thoroughfare. Twenty-two pounds for a piece of ground measuring 12x12 inches would doubtless be a price that would tempt even an Irish land lord to part with his property. Good Words.
