telephone. In 1890 295 vessels visited
the islands. The naval and military
forces Of the islands consist of the house
| hold guards, fixed at 65 men.
| When Captain James Cook was in the
islands Che was killed there Feb. IA, 1779),
he reported the total population at
100000, but this was certainly an error.
1t was probably about 100000. It is the
fashion to say that the natives have per-
ished from intemperance and immoral
ity, but this also is probably an error,
for they were more immoral when dis
covered than now. Besides, this easy
way of disposing of the problem of the
decay of unciyilized races is no longer
tenable. Like many other primitive
races, the Hawaiians have died Of a too
rapid civilization.
Such is the nature Of man that there
must be a slow internal or organic
change to correspond with the changes
of condition; otherwise the too rapid in
flow of impressions on unprepared nerve
centers breaks them down. We killed
100000 Indians with rash experiments
before we found that out and would
have killed 10 times as many negroes if
they had not been too tough. Atany rate
the Hawaiians have died off very fast.
The worst trouble on the islands is lep-
rosy. The greatest drawback Of the gen.
eral situation is, or rather was, the earth
quakes, but of late years they have been
rare. The islands, by the way, are all Of
volcanic origin.
The history Of the islands is a romance
in itself. AT the time of Captain Cooks
visit each island had its own chief, but
by 1900 or thereabouts Ka1nehameha had
united them under his somewhat des-
potic rule. His successor of the same
name abolished idolatry, and in 1920 the
first American missionaries reached the
island
The subsequent monarchs have been
Kameha1neha II, III and ~, Lot, Will
liam Lunalilo, David Kalakaua and
Queen Liliuokalani, who married all
American known there as Donlinis
He died soon after Liliuo1alani becan
queen. In less than a generation after
the missionaries landed all Hawaii be-
came nominally Christian, and the gov
ernment rapidly progressed to a very
limited monarchy, with foreigners in
many Of the principal offices.
The natives, commonly called Kama
kas, are a branch of the Malayan race,
greatly modified by climate and isola-
ton. Captain Cook named the group
the Sandwich Islands in honor of Lord
Sandwich, then lord Of the admiralty,
but native names have prevailed both for
the group and all localities, the language
being singularly musical, copious and
flexible. The missionaries in 1929 re-.

There was quite a panic among the
smelt fishermen Of Stroudwater the 9TH
er evening. On the ice below the tide
mill are about twenty of the little wood
en- box houses used by the fishermen
On one of the coolest evenings the fish
ermen were snugly ensconced in their
little houses, with warm fires, pipes lit,
and lines hanging down through holes in
the ice for the benefit Of the s1nelts.
1t had been SO cold that the water next
the tide mill had frozen solid, so that
when the miller hoistcd his gate the
water, instead of taking its accustomed
channel, ran out on top of the ice to q
depth of about six inches. The flood
was upon the fishermen before they were
aware OF its cause. At once there was
panic. They left their warm houses
and rushed headlong for the bank. Soon
one of them, a genius, hitched a rope to
his house and dragged it ashore. In a
few minutes all had adopted the plan,
and in twinkling the smelt village had
vanished. When the water subsidized

1891. He became king in 1874, and soon
after American influence became domi-
nant in the islands. In 1876 reci-
procity treaty was arranged which gave
the Hawaiians great advantages in the
United States, and the exports Of favored
articles rose from $1,000 tons in 1876 to
O.OO0 tons in 1890.
In 1887 the reciprocity treaty was
greatly enlarged, and Kalakaua there
upon ceded Pearl harbor, near Honolulu,
to the United States for a naval station.
Hawaiian sugar being thereafter admit
ted free Of duty, American promoters
rapidly spread over the islands, aud
the average production there is at least
1000 pounds per acre the islands took on
a new life. The figures are startling
In 1890 the value Of imports was nearly
$1,000. 900. while the exports for the same
period We're valued at $13,2S2 GOO, max
ing total foreign commerce Of over
$2D, 900, 600, or $500 fer each i,lhabitalt-
a larger per capita than that of any
other country OF. EARTH More than SO
per cent Of this trade was done with the
United States aud 70 per cent of the car
rying trade done by American ships,
notably those of the Oceanic Steamship
line, which sail from San Francisco
Suddenly, as the Hawaiians claim, the
United States changed it's policy on sug-
ar, admitting that Of all countries free
Of duty and thus completely destroying
the greatest advantage Hawaii had
gained by reciprocity. Secretary Blaine
frankly admitted the justice of Hawaiian
complaints and suggested absolute free
trade between the countries and an ex-
tension to Hawaii Of the bounties paid to
American producers Of sugar. At this
crisis Lilirokalani came to the throne
and at once attempted reactionary pol
icy and a reversal of the movement to-
ward afiliation with the United States
American residents, already heavy losers
by the changes in sugar, grew discou-
tented, and so on the first favorable op-
portunity the revolution came.
The islands are now offered to us as
free gift, but on such an occasion it is al
lowable to look gift horse in the mouth
and consider if they are worth the risk
Any cyclopedia gives the main facts
about them, so it is only necessary t.
say here that Hawaii consists of Is
islands (only eight inhabited), lying about
2,10O miles southwest of San Francisco
in latitude 18 to 90 degrees north and
longitude 154 to 160 degrees west The
area of the habitable islands is a little
less perhaps than 1000 square miles, of
which probably one-half is cultivable
and doubtless as fertile as any equal
area in the world. Indeed it is estimat-
ed that there are at least 100000 acres
of sugar lands capable of a certain crop
of 1000 pounds per acre every year,
while the reports speak of $500 pounds
as not uncommon.

The severity of British Justice was
well illustrated at Northampton the

in progress. The jury having been per-

He is a hero who when sorely tried
Hath yet a firm control
Ger all his passions as they strongly rise
To battle with his soul.
The silent battle which the spirit fights,
Warning against desires
Unholy and impure, if right shall win
To higher good inspires.
The soul that crucifes an evil thought,
That keeps a guarded gate
Of Christian love and brotherly good will
Between his soul and hate,
Shall stand, in all his manliness and worth,
AS mightier than he
Who takes city in his strength and pride
Or boasteth vauntingly.
The shield of purity when nobly worn,
Where faith has been confessed,
Is stronger than the cunning coat of mail
Upon warriors breast.
He is hero who to truth is true,
Though lowly and obscure.
Long after earthly honors fade away
His triumphs shall endure.
