WHERE CRICKET IS A PEST.

Semos has its trouble, wo are told, almost~| every day of the year, except in the rainy ́season, uvor the cricket pest. Cricket for Samoa is from all accounts a real pest, especially to employers. It is played with 20, 30, 50 a-side. Village plays against village, ond town against towo. When one village challenges another village to a match the challengers go to the village and play as long the food supplies, specially laid in, hold out. When the larder is completos. ly swept and garnished the match ceases. The bat is a wooden club, preferably an. American baseball club. The batsman does not run, but the fastest sprinter acte ag his deputy in run getting. The fieldsmon

coconut trees, all over this field, hebind rocks and trees, and seldom miss a chance. When they do, they havo a very lively time of it from the crowd squatting all round the field on their hams. A clown always at tends the criokot matches, and ho ́makes bitterly sarcastic remarks on the play, which he emphasises with a stick upon the baeks and legs of bungling players. Wo- men play as well as mon, and take their beatings woll. Whon a cricket mately, is on it is idlo to expect servants to work. They nover do. The room are left undusted; the i dishes unwashed. The whole staff of domestics go to the-cricket match.

CUTTING DOWN ARMY

EXPENSES.

The Army Council, with a view to re- ducing the expense of living in the Cavalry of the Line, have decided to considerably amond the King's Regulations and Orders for the Army. It will now be more than avor incumbent on commanding officers that they shall tako steps to keep expen- diture well within bounds. All those ex- travagancles which have hitherto been a Bourco of mischief in keeping young men of moderate means out of the Service are to bo put down with a firm hand, and any lieutenant-colonel who may fail to support the authorities in their intentions in this direction will be liable to be summarily dealt with. It has been found that in some regiments a system has been adopted of keeping two sets of accounts, one in which are entered all legitimate charges; and another giving details of Garious c

which are extraneous, and for the penges most part unnecessary. This arrangement is to be strictly forbidden in future. It is now to be laid down in clear and distinct terms that no semi-privato accounts shall be tolerated in any circumstances whatever. In the opinion of the Council regimental drags are cnuso of ondless trouble, and are not to bo justi- Lied. It is intended, therefore, to take
