The dog catchers were round today
and it is high time they were. There
are many homeless and tagless ours
proving about and Dr. Wood stated
on Sunday that dogs could catch and
communicate plague. In Columbo, Cey-
Ion, there is a campaign against dogs
and rats. The city government has
bought traps by the dozens and hired
men to destroy the rodents. We might
take leaf out of the Cingaleze book.

The Outbreak of typhoid fever on
Molokai seems to be quite serious. The
Board of Health will doubtless take
means to reduce it, but the Board has
its hands very full as it is. The out
break is most probably due to the open
ing up of new soil, or it may be to bad
water conditions. Where ever typhoid
exists the cause of it's presence should
be investigated.

The laying of the corner stone of
1daunaolu Seminary on Maui was an
event in the annals Of the Island. The
seminary has done good work in the
past and is a credit to it's trustees. The
girls are taught to cook, to sew, to
wash and iron and SO forth. Quite a
large percentage of the pupils have
made good wives.

contains the ilst or over seven thousand clues,
towns and villages in France. with the names
and prices of the best hotels inns in each;
the distance from the nearest railroad or tele-
graph station; the name Of the 'mecanicien, or
cycle repairer, and the distance by road to the
next important town.
The rules of the road for wheelmen in France
very simple. Lighted lamps must be car
ried at night, and all cycles must be provided
with bells. 'ScOrChing'' is prohibited in Paris
and in most Of the towns, but any pace is per-

little cycling guides published by NJ. J. Bertot
and which cost three francs each. There are
twelve little books with first rate maps and
they cover all France. The publishing house of
Firman-Didot & Co. has also brought out a
series of cycling guides. illustrated with numer-
photographs. The publishing firm of PlOn
Nourrit 6, Co has also issued a handy little
volume giving itineraries for one hundred ex-
cursionS in the neghbOrhood Of Paris. This little
book costs only one franc, and, although written
in French. it can readily be understood by cy-
clists who are unfamiliar with that language
because the information is embodied in tables
with names Of towns and distances. OF course
all the distances are in kilometres, but IT is

A FEW POINTS FOR AMERICAN WHEEL
MEN WHO INTEND VISITING
THE PARIS EXHIBITION
Paris, March 16.

American wheelmen who intend visiting the
Paris Exhibition will doubtless be glad to hear
that at the instance of that powerful organiza-
ton. the Touring Club of France the French
Government has accorded to foreign wheelmen
custom house privileges and exemption from the
road tax on cycles. Moreover any American
wheelman who takes the pains to become a
member Of the Touring Club of France will en-
joy the advantages Of cut rates at hotels and
freedom from custom EoUse and other formali-
ties and annoyances in case the trip be extended
beyond French territory into Belgium, Italy or
Switzerland. The Touring Club of France is an
organization corresponding to the League of
American Wheelmen in the United States and
comprises over seventy-hve thousand active
members. The annual membership fee is five
francs for persons living in France and six
francs for non-residents There are delegates of
the Touring Club of France at New-York Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and other cities in the United
States. All that is necessary for an American
Wheelman 10 do in order TO become a member of
the Touring Club of France Is to fill up one of
the printed forms of application, get II indOrsed
by two members of the Touring Club and send
it with postal order for six francs to the Sec
