time. But later on, in B. 9. 40, the
A,henians were again called upon by
an oracle to purify the island.
This they did by opening tho whole
of the graves in il, and removing the
contents to the neighboring island Of
Rheneia, and ordering that for the fu-
ture all persons at the point Of death
and all women nearing childbirth
should be removed from Delos. On
opening the graves it was found
that more than one half OF the
dead were Carians, as was OBJ
yious from their armor and the mode OF
burial. Such is the statement Of Thu
cydides tiii., l04. and l., 81. He re-
CARDS these early Carians as freebooters
who had shared the possession OF the
Greek islands with the Ph@nicians, and
if his judgment is right il would mani
festly be Of immense importance to ex-
plore the small island Of Rheneia in
search Of the Carian armor rcinterred
there. We may hope that this will
speedily be done.

The result was that all Of the men
were found and only two women we're
missing.
THE MISSING.


One Of these, Miss Smith, Of Spotsyl-
vania county, il was feared at one time
had been burned to death. Itwas in fact
SO reported, but DR.. Moncrre said he
was positive that he took hor and car
ried her out upon the veranda. "But,
sir,'i said he, ssthe great trouble was
TO keep them from going back after
they were brought out" Late in the
day she was found safe in the house Of
q kind citizen.
The other missing patient was Mrs.
Jane Jeffries, Of Halifax. She was an
old inmate, and was about sixty years
Of age. She was seen flying through
the streets, and no one knew what had
become of her until this morning,
when her nude body was found in Col
lege creek, more than mile away from
the asylum.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
There was but one opinion as to The
origin--and that was that it was caused
by the electric light, but exactly how
was not clearly demonstrated. The
wires were run through the building in
wooden tubes, and from some cause or
other must have igpised it. DR.. Mon
cure thought it possible that it might
have been caused by rat gnawing the
insulator. The United Electric-Light
Company within the present year put
their light in the building, substituting
it for gas. Up to the present time it has
given satisfaction and made the grounds
and buildings very attractive.

The Lava Peaks of New Mexico.


The geological survey reports from north
western New Mexico a multitude of needle
like peaks rising out of a broad valley bot
tom to the height of over 1000 feet. They
are composed Of black basaltic lava, having
q beautiful columnar structure like the
basalt Of the Giants Causeway. They are
remnants of lava which once rose up out of
the earth through the strata and congeale /!
in the volcanic pipes or vents.
In later periods the strata which enclose
them have been dissolved away and r.
moved by the general erosion of the coml-
try, leaving these basaltic cores project

"whist1ing Dicks" Commander.

Ex-soldiers who were engaged in the siege
of Vicksburg will be interested to know that
the rebel lieutenant, Dick Agar, who had
charge OF tie noted rifled gun, "Whistling
Dick" on the bluff fronting the river, Is
dead. He committed suicide at New Or
leans on the 4th inst, induced by low spirit
and ill health. The battery commanded by
Lieut. Agar consisted of "Whistling Dick"
and a Blakeley rifle, and was more con
stantly occupied during the siege than any
other rebel battery. This was due to the
fact that they were better supplied with
appliances for securing accuracy of fire. In
fact they were almost the only guns whose
execution was more than the result of guess
work The news of the suicide of Lieut..
Agar will produce thrill of sorrow in the
hearts Of thousands who for the first time
will hear his name. He was an 1rishman
by birth and was 60 years Of age.

Representative Warner, of Ohio,

The plate was two full inches thick and

up with the plate was a three-inch
polished steel cylinder, about three quart

Yet this was the ball that had penetrated

HIGH ART IN NEcKTIEs.
How They Are Made and sold-SpeciaI
Grades and Fabrics.

[Chicago News.l
"There are special grades and designs of
silks and satins made exclusively for the
necktie trade" said manufacturer "These
materials are made from patterns designed
by men who do nothing else than study up
new things i'll neckties.
II go to New York to look at new designs
about once every two months. There are
from fifty to seventy-five necktie factories
in this country and ten or twelve firSt-class
makers The latter usually secure exclusive
right to use certain styles of goods from the
makers by buying either the entire stock
offered to the American market or q large
quantity of it. But the success of making
up the goods is just like a lottery ticket
Perhaps one year 1 may make hit on some
particular design and it will become so pop
ular that all the other makers will be forced
to adopt it. But the next season
some one in Boston or New York
may make the hit and ! will have
to follow him. There's never any telling
how a necktie is going to take with the pub
lie until it is put on the market. Then its
success may depend altogether who
adopts it first. If he happens to be howl
ing swell, and on the right side of popular
favor, that particular kind of necktie will
sell like all possessed"
care the styles of making up neckties
originated abroad!"
"Not now. They were until less than
three years ago, but our styles are SO much
superior to the Europen now that they are
coming over here to get patterns. How
ever, there is a tendency to English fash
ions for the fall"
HAre men or women employed to make up
neckties?"
ooh, women. There are 800 girls working
at this business i'll Chicago alone. They work
by the piece and make more or less money,
according to their expertness. A good fin
iSher can make IS 50 week. She takes
q nocktie after it is put together and finishes
each detail perfectly, so that it is ready to
box. Three different colors of the same de-
sign, made in the same style, are boxed to
gether to give a dealer an assortment in the
one make The finisher must see that all of
this kind are exactly alike in point of finish
and makeup We have one girl who does
nothing but turn the bands of neckties and
who makes SIS week. She is capable of
turning twenty-five or thirty dozen bands
each day
"The cheap wear now flooding the mar
ket is composed Of old styles, made of poor
goods, which the cheap trade in New York
has >ucc3eded i'll buying up and sending it
all over the country. As a rule men show
no discrimination in purchasing neckties.
They look into window see tie that takes
their fancy, and then rush in to buy it,
never stopping to ask the price. Thus, they
are apt to buy one of the cheap kind that
will not look we'll week as one of better
quality. A good necktie is the result of art
and study. It can't be turned out for a

Departure offhe Exinnm.

There was an unusually lively scene at
the departure of the steamer Kinau yes
terday. Twelve fine looking mules
were shipped for Laupahoehoe. There
was considerable fun in getting them on
board. -Four escaped and made persons
on the wharf scamper in every direction.
Over two hundred deck passengers left
by her, great many of them going to
Kohalo to attend the annual Sunday
school meeting, which commences on
Thursday. Among the number were
scholars from the Kaumakapili and Ka-
waiahao churches in this city, and few
from Koolau. The steamer left some
fifteen minutes behind time, and she had
no sooner cleared the dock when it com
menced to rain very heavily.
