to keep quiet when childish babbling can do no earthly good, and Mr. WICKING would appear to belong to that class. This gentleman is a shareholder in the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company, Limited, and he evidently intends not to allow the Hongkong community to forget that

fact.

It will be remembered that at the third ordinary annual meeting of the Wharf and Godown Company, held on the 28th of June last, a proposal was made and adopted "that a Committee of Investigation be appointed to examine into and report on the working of the Company's business, the directors to appoint two representatives and the shareholders two," the Board of Directors acquiescing in the proposed inquiry. At an extraordinary meeting, held on July 19th, the Hon. C. P. CHATER and Mr. L. POESNECIER were appointed to represent the Board, Mr. C.

The ostensible object of the investigation was to examine into the details of the Company's working, and in view of the unsatisfactory character of the management during the previous year, and the opinions current as to the expensive, inefficient and otherwise defective methods

With all these plain facts staring him in the face, the indiscretion displayed by this Irrepressible gentleman in attempting to "put on the screw" in the letter above quoted "In any case this letter and the 'reply thereto will be published for general information is difficult to under- stand. It seems marvellous that he did not even go the length of threatening to publish his. report for "general information, and carefully reading his letter between the lines that would almost appear to be Mr. WICKING's aim and desire. Needless to say the Chairman of the Board rose to the occasion. His reply was brief but crushing. Here it is

M. HENRI DE VILMORIN, President of the Bota- nical Society of France, recently lectured before the Royal Horticultural Society on the subject of salads. He spoke of the nutritive value of salads due to the potash salts, which, though present in vegetables generally, are eliminated in the process of cooking. These are some of the plants he enumerated as being used in France for salads: Lettuce, corn salad, common chicory, darbe de capucin, cuiled and Batavian endives, dandelion in its everal forms of green, watercresses, purslane in small quantities blanched salsity tops, Brussels chicory, the roots of celeriac, campion and radish, the bulbs of stachys, the stalks of celery, the flowers of nastur- tium and yucca, the fruit of capsicum and tomato, and, in the south of France, rocket, pieridium and Spanish onions. Various herbs are added to a French salad to garnish and flavor it chervil, chives, 'shallot and borage flowers. In addition, many boiled vegetables are dressed with vinegar and oil. The lecturer exhibited specimens of dandelion, Barbe de capucin, 'and witloof, bath varieties of chicories, which he commended to the notice of gardeners as most useful and palatable.
