foot. yet every attempt made to
model shoe to the foim Of the foot
has been met by the objection that
something very inelegant must be
the result. The idea of inelegance
in boot which fits the foot properly
is nothing after all, for il Is not so
much matter OF fact that rules, as
fashion. Fashion is very arbitrary,
indeed, and makes great change in
our outward appearance. Coverings
for the loot BEGAN with sandals. Al
ter these came shoes left open at the
toes, then the wooden shoe of the
ninth and tenth century, followed, in
the middle ages, by shoes with long
pointed and turned up toes, which
romctimes turned up as high as the
knee. Later a shoe was worn with
an exceedingly wide toe, SO very
wide that it iinpeded the process Of
walking Queen Mary restricted the
wearing Of this shoe by proclamation.
The proclamation ran to the effect
that shoes should not be worn wider
than six inches. So it is seen that
the idea OF a beautiful foot has
changed very much. After once
wearing a boot that fits really good
we look upon all others with disgust.

The following touching incident is
recorded Of Madame Marie koze, dur
ing her sojonrn in this country, and
while on visit to Auburn prison,
New York, where she sang in the
presence OF nearly all OF it's inmates,
including upwards of twelve hundred
convicts. On her arrival she dcsired
to know If all the prisoners were
present, and being answered in the
negative, she requested that even
those in solitary confinement should,
rs a special privilege, De permitted to
come into the chapel and join the
other eonvitts in listening to the
music which she proposed to sing.
The request was accorded. and the
poor fellows, )me of them ior the
first time in many years. We're per
mitted not only to look once more on
the face OF beautiful woman, hut TO
hear again from an accomplished ar
tlste the sweet notes that reminded
them OF the innocent dars OF youth.
The chief selections Of Madame Roxe
were "Sweet Spirit. Hear my
rayer," and 1.-The Sweet BY and By"
and even the most hardened Grim
inals were stirred TO tears. After
this the fair cantatrice made tour
OF the institution the prisoners mean
while being retained in the chapel.
and on her return she sang the old
familiar air, Comm Thro' the
Rye"
The most intelligent OF the convicts
prepared testimonial OF thanks,
which was duly signed and presented
to the lady. 1t closed with the fol-
lowing quotation:
God sent His singers upon earth
= With songs OF sain ~ and OF m.rth
/ That they might to ,ch the hears OF men
! And bring them back to heaven again."

A Mournfal Prophscy Of woss.


Prof. Grimmer in a pamphlet pub
lished in 1879 predicted seven years
Of disaster and famine, beginning
with 1880 and ending with 1887, dur
ing which the world will be hell of
strife and carnage. He said:
From 1880 to 1887 will be one un:-
versal carnival OF death. Asia will be
dapopuldted, Europe nearly 40.
America will lose fiten millions OF
ner people. Besides plague we are
to have storms and tidal waves,
mountains are to toss their heads
thro' the choicest valleys, navigators
will be lost by the thousands owing
to the capricious deflexurcs Of the
magnetic needle, and islands will ap-
pear and disappear in the ocean. All
the beasts, birds and fishes will be
diseased, famine and civil strife will
dest, oy most of the human beings left
alive by plague, and finally two years
of fife'-1S35 to l397-will rage with
fury in every part OF the globe. In
1887 the star Of Bethlehem will re-
appear in passiopia's Chair, the i'm
mediate results being universal war
and portentous foods and sl, rwrecks.
North America is TO be again involved
in civil war unless n Napoleon arises
to quell it, but during these terrible
days the Pacific States will be veri-
table paradiee OF peace, compared to
the hellish sti.ie that will be waged
throughout the wo id. Te people that
may manage to survive till 1887 will
have reason to be thankful"

Let the Other Ian Walk!

There is in America a familiar tale,
summed up in the phrase, LET the
other man walk |" 1t relates that
traveller in hotel was kept awake
long past midnight by a steady tramp,
tramp, tramp on the floor over him.
At last he went up stairs and asked
what the matter might be. The oc-
cupant of the upper room said that
he owed money to another man, for
which he had given a note, and tho
note came due on the morrow and he
could not meet it. Are you certain
that you cannot pay your debt? p
asked the visitor. "Alas l cannot"
replied the debtor. "Then," said the
visitor, "if it cannot be helped, lie
down and go TO sleep and let the
other man walk! |" Now this is mere
Americanization Of story Of Poggio
of an inhabitant OF Perugia, who
walked in melancholy because he
could not pay his debts. "Vah,
stuIte," was the advice given him,
''leave anxiety to your creditors"

The Type OF Heroine for . Great
American Novel.

In the modern novel her weakness
es and faults are often shown forth
too plainly, ard many one can find
in the circle of his acquaintances
girl who, without being the least
jdealized, would rise above the crea
tions OF the modern school, We do
not want them perfect in the begin
ming, but would like them to exem.
plify the power and beauty of spirit
nal growth. This growth must be in
the conditions we are familiar with.
The heroine need not be spirited over
the Old World to meet her destiny,
rs in the international novel now SO
popular. Let her grow up under
American training and education, o.
the best kind. We have an aristoc-
racv, which is that, not OF money nor
Of noble birth, but OF culture, intel
!ect, and womanly and manly char
actcr. The future heroine need not
be as lovely as an hour nor as pain
as Il Jane Eyre, but let her have
character.

suddenly this young girl wakes them
up and they find themselves laughing
and rafting away. The bio ID is cir
culating, the feet are dancing, the
sense or nonsense, is streaming mer-
rily through their brains. No wonder
each one wants to get into contact
with this electric battery. The secret
OF personal fascination always lies in
one single point, that Is, in power to
excite in another person happy feel
ings OF high degree OF intensity and
to make that person identify such
feelings with the charm and power
OF the Cherished cause Of them.

Magnetic People.

People are always talking about
personal fascination. as though it
were some occult quality Of which no
account can be given. Some are born
magnetic, they say, and some are not
and, with the vague term magnetic.
thev hand the matter over to the
world OF mystery. Young girls. for
example, are in a state OF chronic
bewilderment over the puzzle OF this
question. They rec one Of their
mates making a ten. strike among the
men at = ball. How does she do it,
they cry. She is not hall so pretty as
Ellen Jones or Mary Alcott, and there
thay sit in the corner. She is not as
sweet and amiable as this one, as
sensible and true as that, and yet
were she honey and the men bees, no
more lively swarming would be wit
messed. There is no use trying to
find out the secret; she has the oc-
cult quality OF magnetism, and that
is all that can bs said. No, young
ladies', you are simply on the wrong
scent. Very likely, the open secret
lies in no charm of beauty or intelli-
gence, but in quick and electric vi
vacity OF spirits that acts like breeze
on the sluggish water. making the
waves begin to skip and dance, and
so producing an exhilarating effect all
round. Now, what is there on the
face OF the earth people so crave as TO
be exhilarated, and SO delivered from
the oppression OF lumpishness and
stupidity? These youn. fellows feel
this in the depths. They are bashful,
pa. slvzed and have nothing to say.

The Elegant shoes of Our Ancestors.

In the structure OF the human foot
there is an application OF the bridging
principle unequaled in any branch OF
mechanism. In the foot there is
double arch, a longitudinal arch and
transverse arch. The hollow por-
tion between the two extremties of
the arch is filled in with soft tissue,
and from the bone of the heel to
bone near the toe runs strong liga-
mentous band. The bridge OF the
foot has to sustain the superinduced
weight OF the body, and whatever we
carry in our hands, and is especially
so constructed that we can rnn, walk,
leap and climb as the case may be.
An artificial b.idge has only 10 sus-
tain the weight it is subjected to. The
parts OF the foot are SO arranged as to
allow a little movement among them.
though the aggregate movement OF
the whole foot is comparatively great.
No sen sible person thinks there is
anything ugly in a perfectly formed

ANNis MONTAGUE,
from her
friends in Brisbane,
August l5h, 1881.
While in Melbourne, one evening
Miss Montague receiyed an elegant
bouquet, in which was bunch of
gold keys set with pears in shape of
brooch. She has many other
pretty tokens, and on two occasions
received purses of gold sovereigns
containing f40 and ESQ. The season
to commence tonight in Music Hall
will, we are sure, be great treat TO

should miss the opportunity ofRsten-

evening will be found in another

MONTACUE-TURNER.

Most of our readers know that
Miss Annis Montague and Mr.. Chas.
Turner are now in the midst of us,
and will this evening commence the
first of series of five concerts at
the Music Hall. Since they left the
islands in 1880 for Australia, their
success artistically and financially
has been great. We have read from
time to time in the Colonial papers
the notices of concerts and operas
given by them, which have always
been worded in the highest terms of
praise. During the time they were
in the Colonies Miss Annis Mon
tague was the recipient of a large
number of the most handsome pres
ents, and as we had the pleasure of
reviewin gthem the other day, it will
perhaps interest our readers to
know what a few of them are like.
The handsomest one perhaps, is, a
heavy gold necklace and locket, the
latter having on it six brilliant dia-
monds. This was given to her by
thirty of the leading citizens of
Sydney, accompanied by the follow
ing address printed in blue on white
satin, and illuminated with tropi-
cal design:-
DEAR Miss MONTAGUE I'VE the I'M
dersigned sincere admirers of your great
and distinguished talents as an operate
vocalist; of your personal worth and
anna bllity of character, and in the re-
membranco of the many happy evenings
we have spent IN listening to your beauti-
full voice, displayed in the Interpretation
Of the music of some of the best operate
composers, beg to offer for your accep-
lance the accompanying token of our
deep appreciation, and also wish you
continued success in the brilliant
career that surely awaits you.
Then come four bracelets. The
first of solid gold set with sapphires
and diamonds, presented to Miss
Montague by the members of her
company after their first season at
the Bijon Theatre, Melbourne. The
second is also Of gold with the rose,
shamrock and brilliant diamonds.
1t is a most elegant piece of work.
This was given by the ladies of
Brisbane. The next was presented
by the lessee of the Gaiety Theatre,
Sydney. 1t is gold with a moon
stone in the centre of star of dia-
monds, and is of very neat design.

PREPARING TO MOVE.

While preparations were going on
to remove the body from the church,
Handel's Dead March in Saul was
played on the organ. A detach-
ment of police soon arrived and the
coffin and bier were lifted from the
platform, and slowly drawn down
the aisle out of the church on to the
platform, and placed in the cata-
falque. AS Their Majesties the
King and Queen left the church,
the Hawaiian National Anthem was
played on the organ. Mr.. Wray
Taylor, Organist of st. Andrews
Cathedral, presided at the organ at
both services, and also at the Maui
soleum.

many and varied concomitant evils, SO
that my life was a perpetual misery.
Twelve months ago was induced to try

infallible remedies, determined to give
it at least fair trial. In two or three
days felt considerably better, and now
at the end of twelve months (having
continued taking it l am glad to say
that am different being altogether.

of the statement. can truly say, how.

"boon and blessing" to me. have re.
commended it to several fellow-sufferers
from this distressing complaint and
their testimony is quite in accordance
