Take MIX and Bread.

Dear child, if you are very good,
As good as you can be;
II you-as all dear children should
Take milk and bread for tea
And never fret and cry for jam
Or pout for chicken or cold lamb
At night, when you are tucked within
Your little bed SO white
And nursie smooths the cover down
And kisses you good night,
Shut tight your eyes. and you will see
The Princess Sleep, who comes for thee.
In tiny coach she comes, and, drawn
By milk white ponies ten,
She stoops and takes you In her arms
And lifts you in. and then
To Good Times Land away you 60
On rubber tires as soft as snow.
But now-what happens to the child
Who will eat sweets for tear
Does he go with the princess tOoY
Alas. dear one, not bel
IT'S sad enough to make you weep
What happens 70 that child in sleep.
NO sooner does he close his eyes
Than Johnny Sandman comes
Dumping along in his rough old cart.
With noise like twenty drums.
No rubber tires are on his wheels;
He bumps you just to hear the squeals.
And all night long he rides and rides
And gets nowhere at all.
And in the morning-how he aches,
As though he'd had fall
Hereafter. dear, do promise me
To take Just milk and bread for teal

CONSUL VIZZAVONA ON
PROGRESS OF HONOLULU

Monsieur Vizzavona, the Consul who
has been appointed to represent interests
of France in the Hawaiian ISL
ands for the third time, has taken his
residence in the dwelling previously oc-
cupied by the former French representa-
tive, on the corner of Green and Victoria
streets. While he has remained quite
close in his Office, NJ Vizzavona has seen
enough of Honolulu to be quite struck
with the change that has come over the
Hawaiian capital during his absence of
four years. In speaking of his impress
sions, the Consul said yesterday:
Everywhere I see the evidences of the
Americans. Business-in fact, life of all
kinds-is carried on in much more in
tense spirit than have ever seen it here
in times past. This American feverish-
ness-I cannot describe it in language
that better expresses my meningitis
just begun. What its end will be no one
dare prophesy. Who knows but what it
will lead to the building of great me-
tropolis here in the mid-Pacif1c that will
rival San Francisco, Chicago or New
York? If the Kamehamehas could awake
from their long sleep and see the changes
that have taken place since their time,
/ doubt If they would be more surprised
than I, on returning here, and finding
the rapid pace that business life in Ho-
nolulu has taken on. There is much
more business competition here than in
former years. This. while not so good
for the dealer, is, of course, much better
for the community at large
II am glad to return to Honolulu, with
it's pleasant days and nights Since leav-
ing here 1 have been in Bombay. There
no one goes on the street without a

heavy cork helmet, and, In addition, an
umbrella. The weather Is always warm.
OF the two cities, Bombay Is pleasanter
than Calcutta. In Bombay the nights
are even more oppressive than the days.
About o'clock in the afternoon the
slight wind, which starts during the
early morning, dies away, and to one
used to a cooler climate, the sensation
that results is akin to that of being on
fire. During the whole night long there
is not breath of air, and it is with diff
ficulty that one can sleep. The people of
Hawaii complain of the Kona winds, but
they cannot compare, even at their
worst to the condition of things that are
considered normal In Bombay. We have
here in Honolulu pleasant nights, at
least, even when the days are warm and
oppressive.
when one has been in such a c.ty as
Bombay, he cannot but be struck by the
good health of Honolulu. In Bombay,
while l was there, we had smallpox,
cholera, bubonic plague and famine. AT
times we could not go on the street
without threading our way in and out
among me bodies of the dead. The con-
dition of things was awful. At night the
sky was made red from the lights OF
burning funeral pyres. Such things are
most depressing. Honolulu has made
great ado over her few cases of plague,
but they are not a circumstance to what
may be found on any day of the year in
the cities of tropical Asia. The extreme
care that has been taken here to prevent
the spread Of contagion cannot be rec
commended too highly. 1t is much better
to stamp out such things in the begin
ming than to wait until 1t Is too late, or
until such time that such remedies can
be used only at great cost and public

Crabbe also presented a report on the
pilots, harbormaster, pilot boat boys
watchmen at Diamond Head and the
pilot house. A slight increase in the
appropriations was recommended. The
Senate adopted the report, which reads
as follows:
Your special committee to whom was
referred items 21S, 21s. 300, 221 222, 223
and 224, after careful consideration, beg
leave to report as follows:
Item 219 salary of four pilots $4,000
This is increased $4,000. This, we think.
is only just, as the Territory receives
all of the fees from pilotage.
Item 900, pay roll pilot boats. We find
tnat the amount caileQ lot IN the AppTO-
priation bill is not enough for the period.
We therefore recommend that this
amount be increased so as to read $11,520.
This allows the pilot boys 81 each for day
trips and 81 each for night trips.
Item 221, salary OF two assistant har-
Dor masters, one at $50 and one at 500
per month. The item will then read: Sal
airy assistant harbor master. $3.50; $1,000.
Item 223. salary pilots Waterman, Dia-
mond Head, $500. We recommend this
item pass as in the bill.
Your committee would therefore ask
that the items above referred to pass as
recommended. These items amount to
s42, $50, being only a small part Of the
revenue received by the Territory from
this Department of the Government.

OF THE HOUSE

Now that the Appropriation bill has
been consigned to the unrelenting past,
the House seems to have taken new
lease of life and started on a record
making pace. Although there was lit
tie done in the morning session, during
the afternoon hours several pages of
the general expense bill were considered
in way that would have been a credit
to any body of lawmakers.
1t was in the afternoon that the rec
ord-breaking pace was set. Members
forgot their, little personal differences
and settled down TO work that was re-
ally serious Emmeluth and Makekau
had their daily argument early in the
morning, so that helped to smooth mat
ters. In the afternoon Mr.. Jared
Smith was the unwilling cause of a
hot debate on the part of several mem
bers. There was strong feeling that
he should not ask help from the Terri
tory, especially since he was destroying
the property of the same, in order to
get his station in running order. The
House sat as committee of the whole
all day yesterday, Dickey being in the
chair
MORNING SESSION.
AS soon as the House convened yes
) terday morning, the motion was made
by Representative Dickey that the
body resolve itself into a committee
of the whole. The motion was car
ried, and Speaker Akina called upon
| the mover to take the chair. The
| finance committee reported that they
had not yet finished making a segre-
CATION of the items for the different
districts, and stated that they had
finished making the list Of expenses
| for the entire Island.
| Makekau criticised the action of the
committee, saying that they had ex-
ceeded the authority invested in them.
Their duty had been to segregate the
items into two classes, and not to au-
dit the same, with the purpose Of sug-
| costing where reductions should be
made. To this Emmeluth made spir-
tied reply, in which he said that Ma
kekau had too much chin. He continu-
ed by saying that the committee had
done no cutting in the matter Of sala-
ries but handled the bill in it's origi-
nal form.
Then the band played on. The diff
! ferent items were read, one by one,
and adopted or rejected, as the House
| thought best.
The incidental bill for the secretary's
office was placed at $1,000, instead of
! Sc, 900, as proposed in the original esti-
mate.
