D.. of d. D." say. that was 4 nice affair on
board the Rinjio the other evening.
b. M.-So 1 have heard, You have said so to
quite a number of people. By the way, why was it
that there was no representative on board from
the ADVERTISER, Gazette or Press ?
d. of D.. D.-He gave 4 full report in the BoUe-

The fact is you see, that the men-of-war that visit
this port are altogether too general in their invita-
tions when they give a reception. Everybody is
invited, and it has been a source Of discomfort to
some of our truly aristocratic people TO find them
selves upon the same quarterback with the Hoi
pOUOi. The Rinjio affair was managed better, it
was quite select and enjoyable; only those-out-
side Of the officials present-who belong to the
creme de Ia creme of Honolulu society were in
vited. Now on an English or American vessel
everybody would have been invited and we would
have had to sit next somebody we can't know. -

Honolulu Library and Reading Rooms.

The number of members now belonging TO the
Honolulu Library is two hundred and ten, and
the number Of volumes on its shelves is two thou
sand six hundred and eighty-five, one thousand of
which are novels. In the Mercantile Library
Association of California, s~ixty-five per cent Of the
books are classed under the name Of romance, so
that the Honolulu institution has, in proportion, a
higher standard of literature than the California
one. The local institution is not used or patron
lied so freely as it should be, for, except after the
arrival Of the foreign mails, and occasionally in
the evenings, very few people may be seen there.
The reason for this cannot be in the amount of
the subscription, which is only half a dollar per
month, but is probably due TO the usual apathy
that exists in the community with reference to
most associations after the novelty has worn of.
Subscribers have the privilege of taking volumes
to their homes for a period of three weeks when
they must be returned, works of reference how
ever, cannot be removed from the building. Most
of the leading magazines of the world may be
found there as well as scientific, religious, his
terical and other standard works. Some of the
magazines are bound III parts, others are given to
the hospitals after they have been on the tables for
a certain time. As the funds at the disposal of
the institution are not very large it is not possible
to add as many new books as could be wished, yet
as much is done in this way as possible, and
many of the subscribers make donations OCCASION
ally to the institution. Among the new books
recently purchased or donated are The Times of
Gustaf Adolf, History of Ancient Art, Life of Vol
taire, His Majesty Myself, The Georgians, Shan
don Bells, Hon. Miss Ferrard, Queen Titanias
Numa Roumestan, Life and Times of Thomas JEFF
ferson, The Disowned, Henry Harsou, DR.. Howells
Family, Life Of Henry Clay, Two on a Tower,
Events at the National Capital and Campaign Of
1876, Records of Prevailing Prayer, The Major,
Life and Works of J. A. Garfield, Beginnings of
History according to the Bible and traditions of
Oriental People, and many others.
Persons who wish to write letters can do their
correspondence in the reading room where the nee
essary requisites are provided. Everything is
kept in a perfect state of order and cleanliness and
strangers visiting Honolulu are always welcome,
As there is such an excellent institution in our
midst, it is a matter Of regret that it is not more
freely made use of.

Fashion Notes.

Gay hosiery is no longer in favor.
Embroidered ecru batiste robes viii be much
worn.
Printed null muslin dresses are novelties
lately brought out.
White glace or Surah silk is the correct Hiring
for printed null muslin dresses.
Pleated blouse waists and long apron over
skirts bid fair to remain in high favor.
White Escurial lace parasol covers are sold for
carriage parasols of bright or black silk.
The favorite color for the dots and scalloped
edges of Swiss embroidery bands is read.
The newest Spanish lace is the Escurial, with
its figures outlined with heavy cord or braid.
The stalks of flowers must be as visible in FL
flower garnitures as the flowers and leaves.
The latest freak III linen collars is to have a
narrow rolled-over edge at the top of the high
band, and this edge is finely embroidered.

Diseased Sheep.

Many are the sheepmen, nowadays,
whose sheep are i'll one way or another
diseased, hence mauy are the inquiries
AT this Office as to the proper mode Of
treatment. 1t is an easy matter to get
the flock diseased, but difficult one to
get rid of il, hence the old story, can
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure"
A breeder wrote, in our issue of Feb
ruary %, that his sheep had grub in
the head. and having him in mind, we
took occasion, when in conversation
with a gentleman of large experience
in such matters, to put the question,
"what would You do with flock OF
sheep afflicted with grub in the head"
81 don't know" he said. II have never
had it, but | believe the best preven
tive is grub in the belly. | have sell
dom, if ever, seen a flock of sheep,
well cared for, that could not throw
off the grub in the head with a vigor
GUS sneeze, six or eight feet"
There is doubtless deal of truth in
his statement. The fact of the matter
is, neglect is the cause of the majority
of the diseases of our domestic animals,
and the sooner sheep-masters realize
IHlS ldCI tuc UctteI IL VIII NC lOI tlltul'
In this same connection, Mr.. ii. v.
Puglsey, of Clinton county, writes: 81
have lately visited several flocks, and
in every instance when the lambs had
received proper attention, they were
large and strong and without any
symptoms of disease; but, when,
through either ignorance or neglect,
they had not received the attention
and care properly their due, they look
ed poor and thriftless, were eaten up
with worms and ticks, ami both the
owners and their flocks looked blue"
ave have no live stock-Mr. Pugs-
ley continues need more care
than the lambs require until they are
six months old. But if they are al
lowed to get poor, the ticks claim the
outside and the worms the inside,
neither of which have either right, title
or interest to, or i'll fat, well-cared-
tor lamb"
He then closed his very pertinent
and suggestive remarks by saying
"Let me say this, no man knows SO
little about sheep medicines rs our sue

them."-l RurM World.

Sheep Notes.

of same to the secretary who will re-

of The manufacturers who buy wo VI
in this section. But some of onr
sheepmen have discoverered that the
blocky little Merinos, that shear All

what we keep sheep for) both for wool
