THE BICYCLE.

The bicycle is beginning to be
almost as common in Honolulu as
the hack. 1t has undoubtedly
come to stay, and should therefore
be made the subject of legal regu-
lation. The practice SO common
here of riding on the sidewalks is
prohibited in all other countries
and should be here. Riding on
sidewalks is safe enough for the
bicyclist, but a standing, or rather
running, menace to the unwary pc
destrian. There are, of course, cir
cumstances under which it is per-
fectly safe to ride on the sidewalk
but as the law cannot define these,
nothing remains but to Danish the
bicycle to the street. This is a
hard fate certainly, for between the
street and the tramway watering
carts, the unhappy wheelman is
generally unable to find dry spot
for the sole of his cushion tire.
The law should also prohibit all
riding at night, except with a
lamp and bell. In spite of the
electric lights, there are nights
which are black enough to make
bicycling without lights positively
dangerous. The wheel is SO noise
less that it is not heard even by
dogs, and one is always liable t.
knock down and seriously injurt
people who may be walking in, OF
crossing the road.
The bicycle is an indispensable
convenience and affords a very
healthful exercise, but it's use like
that of all good things is liable t.
abuse, and should be regulated by
law.

WOMEN AT YALE AND COLUMBIA.

Lovers of progress generally will
be gratified by the intelligence
that Yale and Columbia have
thrown open their post graduate
courses to women, while a leading
Scotch university has also just adj
mitted them to it's courses in philo-
sophy, the arts and the sciences.
The actl, N of Yale and Columbia,
leaves Harvard, an institution in
other respects so progressive EAR
behind. Nor does there seem to
be any indication that the wide
spread prejudice at the latter place
will speedily be broken down.
The question involved here is
not at all as to the expediency of
the co-education of the sexes, as
ordinarily understood. Post gra-
duate courses are not for boys and
girls, but for men and women. If
women do not have access to the
courses provided by the leading
institutions, they are shut out
from the advantages of the higher
education altogether. The action
taken by these two great and
growing seats of learning, means
that the women of America who
have completed courses at Welles-
ley, or Vassar, or Smith, need not
60 abroad to seek at Cambridge or
at Zurich the opportunities for a
wider and richer culture The best
that their native land can offer to
men is now being placed within
the reach of women.
It is privilege to record every
note of progress, every sign of the
better time coming, and this en-
larging of the scope of women, in
the old world, as in the new, is n OF
the least among these cheering and
quickening signs of the times.

SIX-PAGE EDITION
THE COTTONY CUSHION SCALE.

Two or three days ago an article
appeared in this paper in regard to
the presence of the cottony cushion
scale on some trees at Waikiki.
We are informed by a gentleman
versed in these matters that there
is probably no occasion for alarm.
1t appears according to his state
ment that the lady bug (vedaia
cardinalis) does not die out alto
gether, but reappears and propa-
gates rapidly whenever the cottony
cushion scale-its natural food
makes its appearance. When Prof.
Koebele was here he visited the
Government nursery, and while
there inquired whether the lady
bug was ever seen. On being as
sured to the contrary, he expressed
the opinion that there must still be
Some about. Going into the garden
he shook one of the bushes, and
among the various insects which
fell out there proved to be few
specimens of this invaluable bug
The cottony cushion scale, we
are informed, has been seen two OF
three times and has then dis.

"The more 1 see of American

typical of America. I observe in
them a total absence of affectation.
There are none to compare with

superior degree. They have good
minds and are splendid in APP

The lecturer here paid splendid
tribute to the chivalric bearing of
all classes of men in America
toward women, and instanced the

THE FIRE POLICE.
A Committee Appointed TO Pro-
vide Means to Furnish Their
New Hall.

The Honolulu Fire Police held a
special meeting last evening in the
hall of No 2 Engine House. Cap
tain T. E. Krouse opened the
meeting and stated that it was
called for the purpose of providing
ways and means to furnish
their new hall. A committee of
seven was appointed to go among
the business men and solicit sub
scriptions for that purpose. The
following gentlemen were named
as the committee: Messrs. Hill,
Herlihy, Bruins, Dee, Armitage,
Toussaint and w. W. Wright.
They will commence active work
this morning.
The Fire Police have never had
a meeting place of their own, and
were always obliged to meet in the
hall of some other company. They
deserve to have a place of their
own, and no doubt the business
men and insurance agents will con-
tribute enough funds to allow them
to furnish their hall in a comfort
able manner.

half so bad as the cry of the
croakers would indicate. It's
the people who think, think,
think without doing; people
with not enough energy in
them to get out of the office
and 60 forward and wait
on customers people who
think advertising doesn't pay
that are going to tell you
that business is not what it
was when sugar sold at 500
a ton. To make times bet
ter the business man must
watch every honest opportu-
nifty to secure customers-and
dollars. Merely to look after
the customers and let the coin
look after itself is not good
business. The better way is
to sell fewer goods and sell to
people who you can collect
from without adding lawyers
fees and court expenses to the
end of the bill. Weed out the
bad paying customers, offer
inducements to those who
are willing to pay cash and
the buyer and seller will have
fewer sleepless nights. This
action would be the prelimi-
nary step to a strictly cash
business and there would be
no necessity to jump, alb
ruptly, from the credit to the
cash system. Where, as in
Honolulu, business has been
conducted for a half century
on a credit basis, merchants
will find many obstacles in the
way of a sudden change of
system.

have the goods, both in guam
