SCOTTISH THISTLE CLUB.

At the meeting Of the Scottish
Thistle Club last night, the net re-
ceipts of the lantern exhibition were
reported as $500. This goes to the
library fund. A vote of thanks was
ordered to be transmitted to the
Queen for her generosity in buying
forty tickets. One of the members
having questioned the propriety of
soliciting Her Majesty to buy tickets,
it was declared that her action was
entirely voluntary and without solicit
tation. The fact is the Queen ordered
the tickets on being asked by Gov
ernor Cleghorn if she was going to
the exhibition. She could not make
it convenient to attend, but desired
that ten tickets should be sent to the
Palace and thirty distributed to poor
Scottish folk. Governor Cleghorn
and Chamberlain Robertson attended
the exhibition.
Mrs. Hutchinson, Waikiki, was ac-
corded vote of thanks for the gift
of Burns poems to the library. The
club will hold social dance each
Thursday evening. After business

VEGETABLE POETRY.

Potatoes came from far Virginia;
Parsley was sent us from Sardinia;
French beans, low growing on the
earth,
To distant India trace their birth;
But scarlet runners, gay and tall,
That climb upon your garden wall
A cheerful sight to all around
In South America were found.
The onion travelled here from Spain /;
The leek from Switzerland we gain,
Garlic from Sicily obtain.
Spinach in far Syria grows;
Two hundred years ago or more
Brazil the artichoke sent DER.
And Southern Europcs sea coast shore
Beet root on us bestows.
When 'Bizabeth was reignng here
Peas came from Holland and were
dear.
The South of Europe lays its claim
To beans, but some from Egypt came
The radishes, both thin and stout,
Natives of China are, no doubt;
But turuips, carrots and sea kale,
With celery so crisp and pale,
Are products of ouI own fair land;
And cabbages--a goodly tribe
Which abler pens might well describe
Are also ours, | underst and.

quarantine for FIVE days and perhaps
longer, and the President was furth-
er instructed to place in quarantine
any other persons whom he might
learn had been on board of the
steamer. This meeting was held
openly and should any one have
wanted to attend the same, surely
there would have been no objections
on our part. l trust your readers
will on the above showing arrive at
the conclusion that though a mistake
had been made by the Boards en-
ployees, the Board thus acted only
in good faith towards this community
and those in quarantine, even though
it may be said we were somewhat
late in enforcing the quarantine.
Better late than never.

FOR the PUBLIC ENJOYMENT.

EDITOR BULLETIN -
Allow me through the medium of
your journal to suggest a measure
by which, at q small expense, the
trip to the summit OF Punchbowl
could be made much more attractive
than at present. What l propose is
the erection at the most favorable
point, say at or near the site of the
old battery, of covered platform or
lanai with benches, where visitors
could sit at their ease and rest while
sheltered from the tropical sun, and
at the same time enjoy the magniti.
cent prospect of land and sea spread
out before them. The proposed
structure need not be of great size
or elaborate design. A plain, sub
stantial lanai, say 20x40 feet or
thereabouts, with two or three rows
Of seats would be ample for all pre-
sent purposes, and would be great
accommodation TO visitors, particu-
larly pedestrians, who would pro-
badly be much more numerous than
at present were there any good place
to rest on reaching the summit.

COME CHICAGO. WAKE UP.

There are more robberies commit
ted in the open streets of Chicago in
q single day than are committed in
New York in a week. Twenty-Five
cases of highway robbery were re-
ported one day last week at single
police station. The unreported may
have been larger. This is largely
due to the extraordinary influx of
population, owing to the Worlds
Fair. The city is full of men, who
probably came here for work, and
have turned thieves and robbers
through desperation. The streets are
full Of loafers and vagabonds of every
description and every degree of ras-
cality. No mans purse is safe and
no woman can 60 abroad at night un-
protected. Men whose business takes
them out at night 60 armed. But
many of the most astonishing cases
that ever occurred in civilized COM
munity have been in broad daylight
upon open and frequented thorough
fares. The worst of it is the robbers
are rarely caught. The police force
of Chicago, from being one Of the
best, is now one of the poorest in the
world. The disgraceful facts are now
everywhere discussed, but the people
are utterly demoralized. Ali sorts
of crime are literally rampant. For
great city, inviting the attention
just now of the civilized world, Chi
cago is = conspicuous and shining

HOOK AND LADDER SER ICE.

There is generally a misconcep-
ton as to what is meant by a hook
and ladder company. The use of
the ladder is at once understood,
and the necessity of it; the hook is
an implement used to pull down por-
tions of buildings with. The hook
is among the oldest of implements
used for scaling walls, and dates
back from medieval times. The
scaling ladders are made Of a single
length of tough wood, with the rungs
at right angles with it and passing
through it. Its upper end termin-
ates with metal hook, which per-
mits it to be attached to the win
dow sills or copings of house. In
ordinary cases ladders are used, but
there are many fires where, in order
to obtain access to the upper portions
of a house, the hook becomes ne
cesslty. Ladders are not always
long enough to reach the desired
heights, and then the hooks supple
ment them.
Hook and ladder companies are as
sentially life saving in their duties.
To each fire battalion in New York
there are generally assigned two
hook and ladder companies. There
are thirty-six to forty hook and lad
der machines, though they may not
be all IN service AT one time, some
being under repair. To u hook and
ladder company there is given an
average of twelve men, and in parti-
cular cases there have been as many
as eighteen. These men represent
the pick of the service as to ply
sique. All OF them have passed
through the school of instruction and
have been specially trained for their
duties. 1t is not coolness alone that
is requisite, but that perfect reliance
which comes from well trained mus
cles.
On the apparatus are carried in
addition to the ladders, which, with
their extensions, are ninety feet long,
a'number of hooks, with axes, crow
bars, ropes, life saving nets and fire
extinguishers. On account of the
extreme length of the ladders the
apparatus is extended, and there is
steering wheel, acting on the back
axle, which enables the truck to turn
sharp corners. The three horses at
tached to such numbering machine
must be of the best, for every minute
lost in reaching centre of confag
ration means chances of death OIL
destruction of property. Harper

LABOR IN QUEENSLAND.

A suggestive article appears in
this issue from the Australasian,
which shows parallel case in Aus
tralia to the plantation labor situa-
ton in this country. Under stress
of labor union agitation the importa-
tion of South Sea Island cheap labor
was stopped, 1t was fondly hoped
that white labor would be available
for plantation work, but this expecta-
ton has been completely shattered.
The apportionment of the sugar area
amongst small farmers has, however,
TO judge by the article in question,
been adopted to considerable ex-
tent. These small farmers are in the
same box as larger owners OF sugar
estates-they cannot get labor to
till even their small holdings. The
apparent inference is that il they
could get the necessary hired bone
and sinew they would make success
of the small holding system, thus
delivering the country from the dan
ger of being occupied chiefly by the
two extremes of barons and serfs.
There is good deal suggested,
moreover, in the intimation OF hope
that within few years the conditions
of sugar production may be so changed
for the better as TO make the sboli-

making silk can be reduced one-halt
