Robbie Expected a Long Summer.

Robbies mother had noticed that every
time he went out into the street with her
he carefully counted every dog in sight.
AS the number increased Robbie grew de
pressed, and when he reached his 2OOth dog
he sighed wearily.
Mamma, I'm afraid there won't be any

Every dog has his day, hasn't hei"
"Oh, some people say So"
'"But it's true, isn't itf''

shall be just as hot and sticky as this all
the time"
And Robbie refused to be comforted. -

Trouble at Ponape.

A letter from Ponape, received by
the Alameda via Manila, brings the
news that the natives at Qua, on Po-
nape, enraged by the treatment re-
ceived from the Spanish, could not
be restrained by their chiefs from
wreaking vengeance. Early on the
morning of June % the Spaniards
were attacked as they were going to
work, and dubbed and shot. Henry
Manapei, the teacher of the Mission
School, brought the two priests to
the house. The natives respected
the Mission premises, though they
were very angry with Manapei for
protecting the priests. 1t was thought
best that Mrs. Cole, with ten of the
girls, should go to Capt. Narrhur's,
at Kenau, where the Spanish have
their headquarters. Miss Palmer,
with the other girls and the Pona-
pean teacher, remained on the Mis-
sion premises. The Spanish tried to
bring the man-of-war around so as
to shell the place, but the vessel ran
on the reef. When the letter was
written, the probability was that the
vessel would be got off the reef.
The final result of the affair is not
given In the letter received.

WAR NEAR TAHITI.

The French Naval Squadron Defied by
the Natives of Raiatea-The Latter
Finally subdued-Many Killed.
The barkentine Tropic Bird ar
rived at San Francisco from Tahiti,
the day before the Alameda left, with
important news from the French
naval station at Tahiti, and also the
bearer of important letters and other
mail from the French squadron to
the French Government. The Socie-
ty Islands have for many years been
proclaimed as belonging to France,
and protectorate has long existed
at Tahiti Many of the islands in
the Society group, however, have
never been subdued, the Polynesian
races inhabiting them being large
and powerful. During the past few
months the French squadron, with a
naval and land force of 5000 men,
has been establishing protectorates
over the islands. On August LIST the
islands of Maiao and Raiatea were
finally subdued after more or less
bloodshed. But little resistance was
offered at Maiao, few natives being
killed by the marines. A protector
ate was established over the island
and the savages conquered.
At the island of Raiatea, the third
largest in the Society group, serious
trouble occurred during the first
week in August. The French had
made overtures to the head men of
the island tribes, and an agreement
was made by which the French flag
and the native colors should float
side by side. A short time after the
admiral's vessel and the gunboat
visited the island for the purpose OF
placing marines in charge and estab
fishing a protectorate. When the
men-of war anchored inside the reef
at the only harbor on the island, the
natives appeared in large numbers
attired in war paint and wearing
only the proverbial breechcloth.
They were heavily armed with
poisoned arrows and spears. When
the men-of-war came to anchor and
a company of marines went on shore
one of the chiefs gave signal and
stalwart native hauled down the
French flag, leaving the native
colors waving in the breeze. The
marines Immediately shot and killed
the man who had pulled down the
flag. This enraged the natives anG
a sanguinary battle ensued. In the
meager reports received at Tahiti il
is stated that none of the marines
were killed, but large number were
injured. Upward of hundred of the
natives were shot and killed before
they were subdued and the island
finally occupied by the French. The
islanders fought fiercely, even at
tempting to wage war on the water
filling their large canoes or catama
rams and surrounding the gunboat
which opened fire on the small boats
creating great havoc among the
crews in the canoes.
Capt. Burns of the Tropic Bird re
ported that the troubles in the Socie
ty Islands were about over. all of tn,

An Ancient Custom.

1t is difficult to ascertain the precise
origin of the graceful custom 80 uni
versal in France and Germany and
more or less prevalent throughout the
world of offering eggs at the festival
of Easter. The Persians give each
other eggs at the new year, the Rus
slams and the Firms at the festival of
Easter. Among the Romans the year
opened at Easter, as it did among the
Franks under the Capets. Mutual
presents were bestowed: and as the
egg is the emblem of the beginning of
all things, nothing better could be
found as an Offering. The symbolic
meaning is striking; eggs are the germs
of fecundity and abundance, and we
wish our friends all the blessings con-
