value as a basis, as for instance the
buying and selling of wheat, without

A vast amount of the legitimate busi
ness of the country is carried cn with

iron merchants buy pig iron, the -dry
goods merchants buy cloths, the copper
merchants buy copper, and these ar
ticles are bought on contracts with
out ownership or payment, and these
contracts are .sold to those who need
the articles, but have not anticipated a

possession, however, are not hap-haz-ard,
but are founded on experience,

OF WHAT USE
The words "Of what iie?" might be
written over the entrance of the Prin
cess Kaiulani School at Pal a ma. They
should not imply that the school is of
no use whatever, but that it fails to be
ol the. best use. The building itself
gives credit to minister, to architects,
to teacher and to the taxpayers who
are willing to pay for it.
The children will be instructed with
in its walls, as they have been here-

more than that, through the intelligent
energy of the principal, commendable
without measure, they will learn much
about the world and the nice things
that are in it, and about the pleasure
of having these things. And so Ions
a3 the pupils remain .in the school,
they learn to despise the savages who
nave no wants, and whose measure of
happiness is the bow and arrow and a
hut. Their education will urge them
to lead the lives- of civilized people
who want a thousand things that the
savages never heard of or do not care
for, or as the French traveller express
ed it: "Ah! you teach the savages A,
B, C, then he wants trowsers and a
gold watch."
While this system of education is
applied in this and the other school
houses, the children of the Anglo
Saxons, the Portuguese, the natives,
the Chinese and the Japanese are, daily
and most faithfully, instructed so as to
surely and swiftly develope wants
wnich are expensive things to possess.
Prof.. Geo. . Harris admirably ex
presses the idea in these words:
"Progress, then, consists in the in
crease of wants, or, which is the same
thing, in the development of man in
the consciousness and satisfaction of
fJlTWlcitV "
tion of diversified industries, all of us
must live. These young people, as a
rule, must and should go to the soil for
a living. The state gives tnem educa
tion in a building which is beautifu!
and artistic, in wnich there is the best
instruction, and when they leave it, it
virtually ipoints out to them the way to
the plantations and the tenant life of
laborers where the wages are such as
to make it a mockery to say that their
wants can be supplied. . .
Dr. J. G. Holland, the writer, said that
the result of establishing academies
in the New England towns was the
abandonment of their homes by the
young people who fled to the cities,
because they had not been taught to
develope New England soil. The land
they abandoned the Irish and Canadian
French occupied.

If the advice given in those three
words is heeded, good health will fol

reasons, principally, because it is con
taminated with vegetable and putrid
matter of all descriptions. A simple
analysis shows this to be a fact.
EXCERCISE
Our doctors are busy treating pa
tients who are suffering from com
plaints, more especially malarial dis
orders, which will be materially bene

DUE
Ask your family physician about the
water, and if he is honest he will en
dorse its use.
All who have drank the water speak
in the highest of'terms for It.
This climate demands the use of
such a water and you cannot afford to
be without it.
