Miss Kaiulani Cleghorn. formerly
called Princess Kaiulani, of the
Kingdom Of Hawaii, has gone West,
and it is reported that she and her
father, who is a Scotchman and a sub
ject of her Majesty Queen Victoria,
will sail for Honolulu Nov 10. 1t is
also reported that Liliuokalani, the
dusky ex-queen of the islands, is to
"abdicate" in her favor. But just what
she will abdicate isn't clear. She sold
her claim to the Dole government
some time ago, and got the money for
it. Hawaii is a republic, and there is
no reviving monarchy in the paradise
of the Pacific.

Theatre sickness" is the name of the
new disease recently discovered by the
eminent French physician, Dr. Morti-
cole, which is at present topic of II
good deal of discussion in scientific and
lay circles in Paris. The fad may rea-
sonably be expected in America. The
and seasickness resemble one another,
take their victims entirely unawares,
and prey especially on women. The
symptoms consist Of giddiness, loss of
consciousness, a deep faint. and in per-

In the death of its librarian, Justin
Winsor, Harvard, has lost one of it's
greatest men. He did work in many
lines but his fame rested mainly on the
fact that he was practically the first
man to develop the management of a
library into science. And further,
that he made the Harvard College
library Of real, active, constant, living
value to the undergraduates, rather
than a mere collection of books.

practice. And now r. H. Davis has
given new twist to the samA idea by
applying it to the Greco-Turkish war;
The strategic position Of the Greek and
Turkish armies in the late campaign
he says, was but little more compli-
Gated than the strategic position of two
foot ball teams when they are lined UP
for scrimmage. When the game be-
gan, the Greeks had possession of the
ball, and they rushed it into Turkish
territory, where they lost it almost i'm
mediately on tumble, and after that
the Turks grove them rapidly down the
field, going around their ends and
breaking through their center very
much as they pleased. The Greeks
were outnumbered three to one, and
further,says this brave military author
it can be proved that they were nearly
always attacked as strongly on the
flank as in the front. This fact should
be placed to their credit. 'If an eleven
from Princeton played three elevens
from Yale at the same time, one can
see that the game would hardly be in
teresting." Not interesting" maybe,
but the Princeton men would stav at if

robe, from neighboring line, twisted
about her horns in such way that
she was blinded. Growing frightened
or something. the animal dashed about
and finally landed in the mill pond.
The linen fell down about her nostri!s
too, and in spite of all that could be
done the poor COW gave up the ghost
before she could be taken out, though
she was not in the water more the Is
minutes. The moral of her fate is

There is probability that Director
Chapman, of the Maine Music Fes-
tivals, will produce those entertain
ments in June, next season, instead of
in October as he did this year. He
says that the work in Maine has kept
him from his New York choral societies
for some weeks after the usual date of
beginning rehearsals, and he cannot
bring those organizations up to their
usual winter work without more time
for drilling. Again, Director Chap
man has sacrificed his entire summer
to the Maine festival; that over he will
plunge directly into the work in New
York, so that he will have no rest in an
entire year. He does not feel that his
health will endure another whole sum-
mer given over to work in Maine 1t is
thus believed that the festivals of 1883

another season will bring less work of
that kind, and will enable the director
to leave his New York labors at the
end of their season and begin his work
in Maine in time to bring the festival
to head before the first of July. So
far as the choruses are concerned, and
the artists, it is probable that June
would suit as well as October, though
the weather would be more uncom-
Portable.

SHOES.

The shipment of shoes from Boston
direct into North Carolina during the
first week in November, this year,
amounted to SIS cases, containing
80. 900 pairs. These were the shipments
direct to only eleven towns. The
shipments to all other towns and from
all other points we have no means of
escertaining. But you can imagine,
that from New York, Philadelphia, Bal
tlmore, Richmond, Norfolk and other
cities there were many more shoes re.
ceived into the State, and that the Bos
ton shipments comprise but a small
portion of the whole. But taking
Boston's shipments and averaging the
output of a factory at 300 pair per day,
we receive from Boston per day $3.50.
This, you can see, is the output Of III
average shoe factories per day from
Boston alone, the source, perhaps, of
10 per cent. of our consumption.
WhoOp-peeI Doesn't it take money to
