The native Hawaiians are dying out,
as did the Maorics of New Zealand,
and from much the same causes. There
are now about 40, full-bloodcd ma.
tivos on the islands, and about 5000
half-castos. The former are decreasing
at about the rate Of two per cent. year,
and IL Is estimated that they will prac.
teally disappear as n race in about thirty
years. IL is believed that 100 years ago,
when Captain Cook discovered the
islands, they supported population of
400, 600 souls. Even the most conser-
vative estimates place the number at not
less than 300, 900. To the simple island
ers Of that period the discoverers were
supernatural beings who breathed flame
aud smoke. They believed that Cook was
the great God Lono, and worshiped
him as such. The history of the islands
during this period reads like Scottish
border war tale. The islanders were
then at the height of their powers, ply
sical and mental. They were brave to an
incredible degree, and generous to a
fault. But Cook, after sailing away,
came back arrogant beyond measure, aud
abused the hospitality of the natives,
destroying the superstitious alteration in
which he had been held. A rupture oc-

yet he is happy and cheerful, apparently
content to take what comes and alike
regardless of the value of money or
what the future may have in store for
him. The native Hawaiians are averse
to field work, and not, as a rule, being
able to hold positions requiring execu-
tive or administrative ability, they are
forced into those walks of life where
neither great physical nor mental effort
