FIJI and the Fiiians.
HolIdar 900. by Robert WaIEer

Landing, we have our first view Of
the Fiiians. They are a fine body of
men. medium in height muscular,
broad-chested, and with an erect car
riage. The face is sometimes daubed
with black and as a set-off to this
blackness the pose is made brilliant
by a choice application of red ochre
For variety's sake the face is at other
times painted blue and the nose
black. Tattooing is sometimes to be
seen. but this is not nearly so much
INDUCED in as by the Maories of New
Zealand. The arm is not unfrequently
adorned with a circular ornament, cut
from one Of the numerous sea shells
which can be gathered from the reef,
cowries being mostly used The only
garment worn is the sulu, a bright
colored girdle, sometimes OF calico,
tappa or reed. as fancy prompts. The
color of the body is light chocolate,
and 1t is kept smooth and glossy by
frequent application Of cocoaBut OIL
The hair stands out some four or five
inches from the scalp; it is close ana
of dark brown color near the base,
but of light semi golden hue at the
extremities. This is owing to the
hair being, for sanitary reasons, treat
ed with an occasional pomatum Of
lime. Natives may not uufrequently
be seen with hair quite white during
the two or three days that this lime
wash IS being applied. The wealth
of foliage and flowers on the Islands
is enhancing. The natives not IN
aaturaily, love their flowers. and
deck their bodies with wreaths Of
them or effectively place a single
bloom among their hair. Lizards
abound in thousands, and may be
seen darting in and ont among stones,
trees and wood Butterflies Of bright
hue and large size fit about among
the innumerable aud varied creepers

A Snake aud Egg story.

Herewith we publish a snake story.
This is a wonderful story-woaoerful
not only on account of the story itself,
but because it is true. Mrs susanna
Wise, living at Sand Prairie, about
SIX miles from this city, where she
has hosts Of acquaintance, has a
number of domestic towels upon her
premises, and numbers among her
poultry yard speckleo hen This
speckled hen was notsatlsfied to hatch
her young chickens ia the building
assigned her, but with her natural i'm
stinct chose TO go "nest-hiding, - and
did SO. One day about dusk Miss
Jenny, daughter of Mrs. Wise, start
ed in search of the hen, which had
been missing some days, and after
searching around for some time went
TO a secluded spot of the yard, and in
looking about the grass saw what she
thought was the speckled hen sitting
upon a nest. She stopped forward,
not wishing to brighten the hen too
badly, and reached downward to
secure the eggs, when to her horror
the supposed hen sprang up at her
1t was in reality d monster adder,
speckled so as to closely resemble the
hen in the dark The Young lady
drew back instinctively and as she
did so she felt the serpent's head brush
past her cheek In falling to The
ground the cold, clammy length of
the serpent slipped down her arm
causing a deathly shudder She hur-
to the house; her cries attracted the
attention of her mother, who ran to
her. Mrs. Wise procured a pitchfork
and went to the place where the snake
still remained She managed to
fasten the serpent's head to the
ground by one Of the tines Of the fork,
thus dispatchiDg it. Now comes the
singular part Of the story After its
death was a certainty, it was dissected,
and within its stomach were found five
eggs, which had been swallowed en-
tire so that not a crack was found
upon them. One egg had lodged in
his snakeship's throat, and he must
have been in the act of gulping it
down when discovered In the alb
sence of the hen he had appropriated
the nest and eggs with the result
stated. The eggs were carefully re
moved and intrusted to the motnerly
care of another hen, and every egg
brought fourth its peeping yellow
chick They are now able to scratch
for themselves, and could boast of an
experience equaling the one credited
to Jonah.

dark purphsh wings and two spots of
royal blue on the lower wings, chas-
ing trd smaller than itself up and

the little fellow made COR the shelter
of a neighboring shrub On the shore
there are legions of hermit crabs, and
in the sand immense numbers of a
crab with ono small claw and the
other OF a quite disproportionate size.
The big claw is of purest orange, and
in places near Suva the shore may be
seen perfectly oraAge colored from the
number of claws thrust out of the
holes in which these animals live.

for while and gradually dull, dark
sand is changed and a mass of orange
color appears. Among the reefs may
be seen, on looking into the crystal
depths of the sea, fishes of blue,
green, red, orange or sparkling like
diamonds.

quently encountered in obscure
streets tired-looking mothers who
were silently pacing up and down in
the gloom, pushing baby carriages
before them. The dim glare of the

ent 20 the most casual observer that
the infantile occupants of the little
carriages were all very i'll. Meeting
one woman on Barre street, an eXpla-
nation was requested.
I'VE take our babies out TO walk at
midnight, sir, because it is the only
way to save their lives. Ny boy has
had the cholera infantum for nearly
two weeks, aud the doctor told me he
would die without fresh air. We are
poor and cannot afford to stop work
TO take it on excursions. So we walk
it about in the big streets where it can
get fresh air. My sister and | take
turns every night with baby AS soon
as it is dark and cool she goes out
with the baby carriage and walks it
about until midnight. Then she
comes home and calls me and take
my turn. Sometimes roll him all
the way down to Spring gardens
and sit by him while he sleeps
with the breezes from the river blow
ing over him The doctor told me last
night that baby would have been dead
if we had not taken him out riding at
night. Is it hard work. Well, yes,
but l think the cool night air does me
good, too. The policeman on oul
beat told me that the wind was blow

1t is an undeniable fact, that bat

4 Nohleman,s Predieament.

A Waterford, n. ", correspondent
says 1t will be remembered that the
case of Maj Kaun, a young Siamese
nOblemau, who has been afraid to go
home for four years past. because he
was in danger of being beheaded,
created much comment some time
ago. Mai Kaun is passing the sum
mer at the home of the Rev Samuel
House in this village. DR.. House
went to New York previous to the de
parture of the Siamese embassy and
interviewed a brother of the king of
Siam in behalf of Maj Kaun, and
was assured that the latter might
with safety return to his native land.
1t seems that the former regent of the
kingdom, who was the implacable
enemy Of Maj Kaun's family. died
recently, and the present king, being
quite liberal in his views, is inclined
to foster education and science. Maj
kaun. having recently graduated
with high honors at the Williston
seminary, East Hampton, Mass, now
inclines to take a course in engineer,
ing at the Rensselaer, Polytechnic in
stitute, with a view of returning to
SIAN to superintend the opening of a
system Of railroads, hoping thereby
to restore the fortunes of his once
brilliant family. 1t will be remem-
bered that the father of Mai Kaun,
who was a member of the kings
private council, was arrested for
clipping with the daughter Of the
English consul
