Day a national holiday, enjoining prac-

first Arbor Day kept in the Province of
Quebec, his share being the shovelling
of some earth about young tree
planted to commemorate the Montreal
Press Club. Some particulars of the
way in which the day was popuarized
in that quarter may be of use here.
The mayor and aldermen of Montreal
had trees planted in their honor.
There we're trees set in homer of the
Empire, and of the rulers and states
men Of the Dominion and Province.
Benevolent societies turned out to plant
trees in honor of their organizations
and officers, congregations in honor Of
their nastors schools of their teachers
and so on. But in all cases there were
specialists in tree culture on hand to
give directions and skilled assistance
Prominent among these, the leader of
the movement in fact, was Hon. II. G..
| Jolly, an eminent provincial statesman
and valued member of the American
Forestry Congress. The results of that
first Arbor Day may be seen to-day In
fourishing young trees in public
squares, parks, school grounds, church

ARBoR DAY.


The institution Of "Arbor Day" wa:
advocated by the present wiiter long
ago in the editorial columns of con
temporary. OF course the HERALD is
ready to do its part in promoting the
movement in favor of such practical
holiday lately broached on behalf OF
the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural
Society. The suggestion to institute
the day as peculiarly children's affair
may, however, admit of discussion. 1t
does not appear that the anniversary is
established as merely juvenile one in
other countries, although the schools
are usually let out on the occasion and
given due share Of the days per-
formances. Young people, as moraliss
very persistently note, are very prone
to emulate their elders, taking particular
delight in doing or initiating the work
of men and women. Tree-planting is,
besides, not the simple work that it

LAW AND ORDER.

If anarchists want to see how their
theory Of no law would result in prac-
tice, they can get an imperfect yet in
structive exhibition where law exists
but is aot enforced This, there is
re s5n ;c fear, IS something furnished
in cert IN rara districts of these isl
ADDS The pict re is not a pleasant
one which the news from outside OF
Honolulu presents. A correspondent
of the Gazette in Kohals, Hawaii, gives
startling category, in few short
paragraphs, of outrage, incendiarism
and disregard for law and its appointed
guardians, which is made up from re-
cent events in that district. Incompe-
tent magistrates and lazy and cowardly
police are, according to that cores
pondent, the primary causes for the
disgraceful state of affairs Inefficient
administration of the finances or of
public works may be tolerated to a
pretty high pitch, provided the cost of
misgoyernment in those regards does
not pinch the taxpayers very severely.
But i law and gsu ogdssH gsdlssHHoaFd ppH. pp6He li dsliin-
quency affects every man, woman and
child in the community. There is
danger if not certainty, of their be-
ing restricted in the right of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, by the
tyranny of the lowest classes in the
land. Such a state of society could
not, of course, long be endured, and
unless the authorities should come cf-
fectively to the rescue, believers in
peace and security would be obliged to
combine for mutual defense against the
lawiess horde. This should, however,
be only a last resort, adopted as much
for the instruction of the authorities as
for the immediate suppression of crime
and terrorism. Before going to that
extreme the community should mass
its political forces for the overthrow of
incompetent rulers and officials. Let

CRAZY AS A BED BUG.

A scantily Attired Man Jumps from n
Window and Does Other Strange
Things.
Assistant Chief Mckay and officer Was
key had lively experience with a crazy
man on Monday night While walking
west on High street they saw two men turn
south on Center. One of them was attired
only in a shirt and drawers and acted in a
very strange manner. The officers fol-
lowed the men to Mulberry street,
whence they proceeded west a few
doors to a yard which the men
had entered The scantily attired man said
to the other: Look at the burglars, father
I'm not going nthere.' He ran out of
the gate. past the officers, who started i'm
mediately in pursuit. The fellow suddenly
bumped himself together and jumped head
first into a house. He fell stunned, but
Springing to his feet started
again. After running about fifty
or sixty yards he plunged head-long
into fence and lay on the ground nearly
unconscious. He bore terrible cut on his
forehead from which the blood flowed pro-
fusely. The officer took him to his home
on Mulberry street, where his father took
charge of him and locked him
in his room. His name is William Wentz
A while before the officers saw him he had
jumped from the second story of his house
and had run down town and climbed all
over Boss Miller's carpenter shop. He
may be sent to an asylum.

The Books Balanced Perfectly.

The cashier of business place had oc-
casion to leave his desk one day. and he
called the son of the proprietor, who was
at work in another department, to take
his place for an hour or two, and instruct
him about how to make entries in the
cash book, in case any money came in,
the receipts on one side and the disburse-
ments on the other. The boys father
came in and wanted 81, which the son
gave him, and when the cashier came
back he found an entry in the cash book.
On one side was this: "Took in two dol
lars from granger with his pants tucked
in his boots" The cashier looked at the
scrawl in the book and then at the cash
drawer, and said: well, where's the
two dollars" The boy thought a minute,
took pencil and wrote on the other side
of the book: PA collected the two dol
lars. " The cashier sighed and the boy
said: well, it balances, doesn't it,
What more do you wantf"-Peck's Sun.

WAYS OF THE SWEDISH LAPPS.
Their Wealth Is in Their Reindeer.
Shi ewd at Making Bargains.

Shfewd at Making Bargains
TrOmsop is our next stopping place, a
busy town, the centre of the northern
trade with Russia, Germany and France.
Ii has perhaps 5000 0inhabitants-all Nor
wegian towns are small-and possesses an
interesting museum. But it is not the
town that offers the greater interest to
the tourist. In the Tromsoedal, two
miles away, there is family Of Swedish
Lapps that come down from the noun
tains every summer with all their equip
ment, including many babies and a herd
Of 1000 or 5000 reindeer. The wealth of
the Lapps is in their reindeer, and the
richest man among them alone owns at
least 5000. The reindeer milk is the chief
Lapp food, and is drunk diluted with
water. The skins of these useful animals
are used for inner and outer clothing,
and for many household purposes. One
very noticeable peculiarly of the rein
deer is that, in moving about. the knee
joints make a cracking noise like that
produced by the swapping of the sparks
from an electrical battery.
The houses, or "gammer," are small,
low and domeshaped, made of stone, turf
and birch bark with hole in the top to
let out the smoke. But as a fire is al
ways burning in the hut some smoke re-
mains inside, and in that tear-impelling
atmosphere the babies tightly fastened
papoose fashion in their wooden cradles
hanging by thongs from the roof swing
all day long until they wien up and their
skins grow brown and wrinkled. There
are always plenty of small children about,
dirty, but with rather attractive brown
faces. Puppies and larger dogs of the Lapp
breed are constantly under foot and are
as plentiful as the children with whom
they are brought up.
The Lapps are all shrewd at making
bargains and sell to the unsuspecting
traveller divers horn spoons and knives
with carved horn cases and the like at re-
prices. 1t is interesting to
watch the process of thread making A
wrinkled, nut-faced old woman takes a
reindeer muscle, or rather its tendenous
portion, in her teeth, and tears it into
four parts, and divides each part again
and again until it looks something like |
flax; then taking little at a time she
rubs it with the palm of her hand over
her brown cheek twisting it into thread, |
which united with others, makes strong |
twine and rope. They have many curious !
and are wonderfully dirty, but |
offer the greatest interest to the ethnOlo- |
gist. They are short people, the tallest !
being hardly over feet They have a |
sort of civilization, and have preachers |
among them, but the NOrwegians along
the coast are always in hot water with |
them, because in their migratiOns the
reindeer destroy most of the cultivated |
fields, through which they pass on their
way to the sea.-Cor. Boston Herald.

An old Lady's satchei stolen.

An old. gray-haired lady stepped into the
|. B. Il w. ladies' waiting room this morn.
ing to wait for her train. She placed her
satchel on the floor near the door and at a
time when she was not looking, two colored
men entered the room. One of them picked
up the satchel and started out, closely fol-
lowed by the other. When they reached
the end of the platform they ran, and
neither they nor the sstchel have since been
heard of. The old lady was terribly dis
tressed when she discovered her loss.
