RANDOM REFLECTIONS.
"To spit or not to spit" that is the question: The Sanitary Board worried over it and dodged
it:
Now it is ozerofsing the minds of our legislators who wear a look of perturbation and ask themselves in the words of our old friend Hamlet" whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous habita or take up arms against a sea of trouble and, by opposing, end them." How great a poet was Shakespeare. His language is still applicable to the present day even in this distant outpost of Empire.

As an expert in the art of asking awkward questions Mr. Shelton Hooper has few equals. His latent exploit was at the Sanitary Board on Tuesday last when he innocently wanted to know what had become of their secretary. The acting President was dumbfounded. He fumbled with the papers in his hand, looked at the Vigo- President opposite for inspiration, but the latter anly smiled, and the silence that ensued was painful. Then the Artful One insinuated that he did not wish to press for an answer, and this gove relief to the youthful head of the dopart mant who locked pleased to have an opportunity of escaping from the predicament.

Aye women are "kittle cattle." The observation is trite, I'll admit, but it recalls to my mind the re-writing of one of Burns poems. It was:
When Adam slept God from him took
A bone, and as an omen
Made it like a seraph look
And thus created woman.
He took this bone not from his pate
To show his power more emple Nor from his foot to designate
That he on her might trample, But near his arm to clearly show
How much he should protect her And near his heart to let him know How much he should respect her, He took this bone, crooked enough,
Most orooked of the human, To show him, how much crooked staff
You always fud in womari.
We in Hongkong have just been taught that the cat is the friend of man, and people who did not possess a domestic feline have been induced to provide a home for one or more pussies. We hav come to regard the cat as a necessity, though doubtless some Chinese might regard it as a' luxury, and it was with some surprise that I read the other day that the French Chancellor of the Exchequer, in looking round for new sources of revenue, had decided to impose a tax upon cats. Cat lovers thereupon set up a wail of indignation. The President of the League of fire Friends of Cats, who is also a poet and works with a cat on each knee, wazes satirical and maka: Will the tax collector look for the house cat under the bed or behind the pile of M.S.8. in the book case? His verdict is that the tax would be "undemocratic, detrimental to 'the public health, useless, and cruel." Another writer who loves cata approves of the tax because cats will be legally acknowledged. I refrain from adding any comment, lest the Hongkong Government, in trying to make ends. meet, should take the hint.

In the first half the Chub faced the sun and for a time played well on to the ball, but one or two offside mistakes lost them considerable ground and the aggressive attitude of the Sailors combined with a steady defenso kept the ball for the rest of the time in the Club's half, and although they passed the attack once or twice, the Navy soon forced the play again across the line. Several good attempts on the Clab to break away were made and it was un- part of the fortunate when Claxton after a find run missed the opportunity through lack of support.
A half time neither side had scored, but each appeared to have reserve strength ready for use after the interval. Immediately after half time the Navy, determined on scoring, play- ed a swift game and in a fow minutes Shaw secured a try which was followed by a goal to the delight of their supporters.

The Club now asemed unable to withstand the attack of the Bailors, and, although Home, Me- Illraith and one or two others seemed to gain a temporary advantage, Philips on the other side, invariably stopped their attempts and by well directed kicks returned the ball to the starting point. The Navy maintained the aggressive and little before the time expired Bhaw cleared. s field goal thus bringing the score to 12 to'nil.
