QUEENS OF HAWAII,

When the missionaries arrived at
Hawaii, March so, 1920, the condition
of woman was that of slave. They
oranges or fish, and one of the curious
tabus, or interdictions, forbade their
eating any kind of food with men.
Queen Kaahumanu sent for the new
king, Liholiho, who was engaged in a
drunken orgie out on the ocean in
canoe, and urged him to throw down
the idols in the heaiaus, or temples,
and to clinch the matter by eating in
public with group of women who
were feasting by themselves at lit
tie distance from the royal abode.
Staggering over to them, Liholiho,
who was a very different character
from his famous father, sat down and
publicly ate some of their food. The
cry went up: 1.-The tabu is broken"
The torch was applied to the idols,
and womans emancipation began.
Queen Kaahumanu was huge, heavy
mortal, and, like, all the chiefs, she
was proud and cruel; at first she treat
ed the missionaries with disdain, offer
ing only the tip of her little finger in
salutation; but she became Jealous
convert. and remained to the time of
her death, in 1892, at the age of fifty
eight, firm and conscientious Chris

DIVIDE THE STATE OF KANSAS.

The American Investments for April
contains an editorial favoring the cut
ting of Kansas into two states. The
thing is impractical but the article may
interest our readers. That paper says:
"The question of dividing Kansas into
two states, upon line starting little
east of Smith Center, Smith county, and
running directly south, Is being again
agitated. There are many excellent rea-
sons why this should be done. Among
the most sound is that so far as possible
the economic conditions of every part of a
state should be on a perfect equality. At
the present time indications point to
some solution of The perplexing question,
how to bring into profitable use the vast
plains of western Kansas. That it viii
eventually come we experience not the
slightest doubt. To large degree this
question possesses no interest to that
portion of Kansas within the limits of
the rain belt, and something more than
mere state pride viii be necessary to
awaken such an interest. Every move
made by the western portion to bring
about legislation favoring irrigation
is met with opposition by those blessed
with rainfall enough to mature
their crops. The two sections are so
widely different in other ways that a
division would appear to be the best
thing that could be done. We believe,
however, under present conditions such
a move would not be wise nor prudent.
A solution of the question suggests itself
to our mind in this counudrum: Why
not continue the line aforementioned
clear up through Nebraska, making one
state called Kansas of the western Dor
ton and another called Nebraska of the
eastern portion? Such division would
give to each state somewhat uniform
conditions. This suggestion is, to the
best of our knowledge, an original one,
that doesn't prevent us from limiting that
it will be some time after the present
writing before we see it consummated."

as thumbing the hat" which is used
on board of fishing vessels to deter
mine the order of the night watches. The
hands gather around the captain, placing
each one thumb on the inside of the
prim OF hat, and the captain. beginning
at random, counts the thumbs off until
he reaches the seventh, which must stand
the first watch. He then begins over again
and the second man who is reached when
