/. %ao.,. THE HAWAIIAN CROWN.
by eight or ten successive chiefs before
Kamehameha's time, is the only large
one left ON the islands. These robes
being the most valued possession of the
Hawaiian kings, were occasionally
given away to some greatly honored
foreigner, who usually regarded it as
a mere curiosity, although from the
donors standpoint it was priceless
Bruce, the Abysslnian traveller, was
given one which eventually was sold
for few pounds to some museum by
people who did not know that it might
have been traded for sugar planta-
ton. g.. ss--@.
Next to the queens robe in size was
which had descended to King Lunalilo,
who followed the five Kamehamehas,
as an heirloom from his mothers royal
ancestors. 1t was six feet square and
was valued at 100000. When Lunalilo
died it was used as a shroud In ad-
ditiOn to these cloaks the Hawaiians
also make feather head-dresses which
in form are curiously like the old Greek
helmets. They were worked over a
strong frame of wicker work, and the
feathers were laid on like golden scales.
Their close conformity to classic form
leads some. to believe that in forgotten
times Spaniards visited the islands,
whose cloaks and helmets would nat
urally attract the admiration Of the
natives and suggest an imitation.

ing into a little house, where they will
remain until the fair closes. There
were twelve head in all, and each AMI
NAL is blue FLOODED enough to wear a
crown. They are picked from the best
herds in Massachusetts and other East
ern states
The coming Of the Guernseys caused
quite a commotion in the live stock
department, their appearance having
the same effect as that witnessed at
the ringside when one Of the gladiators
crawls between the ropes with his sec
onds. a bitter dairy war is about to
be fought by the Guernseys, the Jer-
seys and the other great breeds Of milk
and butter producers, the object being
to settle once for all the question OF SUI
periority. The Jerseys came to the
grounds about month ago and are
stabbed in one of the pretty live stock
houses south of the agricultural build
ing There are forty-seven of them,
end Jersey fanciers who picked them
out for the battle made selections from
eighteen states. There is a heap of
royal blood in the herd. Take, for in
stance, the champion, Signals Lilly
Flag, which produced 1,047 pounds OF
butter last year There are other AMI
mails in the herd with astounding rec
ords.S The contest will begin on May

During that time a record will be kept

or cloak, made of yellow feath-
ers. Besides this, there is the
regulation crown and scepter, manu-
featured in England and built on
English models. These will probably
at some future time be attractions in
the Bishop Museum of Honolulu. The
royal tiputa, now in possession of the
deposed queen. is one Of the rarest and
most valuable objects Of it's kind in the
world. It is valued at $4,000, and is
a regal heirloom which descended from
kamehameha I. the king, who about
12O years ago united the eight islands
under one government, after many
years of fighting against island chiefs.
1t is composed Of feathers of the 90
bird, which are of a goluen yellow, to-
gether with some from the mono, the
latter being red. To understand the
peculiar value of these feathers in
Hawaiian eyes it must be explained
that the 90 is an exceedingly rare bird
of black plumage excepting touch Of
yellow on either wing Thus each bird
only afforded two or three feathers.
1t was the custom of the ancient kings
to send out hunters who might be gone
a year, and return with feathers
enough to cover less than square
inch. The present royal cloak is said
to represent all the feathers collected

Dusty Places.

Gen. Grants quick perception and
prompt action in moments of exceed
ing danger are graphically described
by Theodore r. Davis in the Cosmo-
politan. One afternoon during the
siege of Vicksburg he came sauntering
on foot toward the naval battery on
Logans front.
The place was known as the shell
basket" from the number of ten-inch
mortar shells dropped into the earth,
which exploded and raised clouds of
dust that obscured every thing in the
vicinity for some moments.
In this instance a few of us had
watched the flight Of a shell, but the
general saw the bomb only the mo-
ment before it struck, and its wind
age threw him to the ground. He was
unhurt, and conscious that time was
precious, before the explosion he had
rolled himself sufficiently away to es-
cape the shock, but not the earthly
shower from the dust Of which he
presently emerged, intently consider
4hg an unlit cigar. } ls
Hogan he said cheerily to that
general, who in the bloom Of clean
white shirt FASTENED to him, how can
& you keep SO clean in such a dusty
place %
This escape was followed by another
a few afternoons later, when a shell
landed by the front pole Of the avn
ing before Logan's tent; and eight gem
erals, Grant among them, rolled hastl-
u out Of the shelter to meet uninjured
when the dust cleared away from the
recent place Of conference.
a New Material for Billiard Tables.
The Austrians are making a new de-
parture in the manufac ture Of billiard
tables. In many parts Of Austria Hun
gary the billiard table makers have en-
Hrely given up slate tables, which are.
made in Two or three parts, and are
adopting marble slabs in a single piece.
The slabs are not polished, but simply
dressed and ground on both sides, and
their ordinary dimensions are about
seven feet by three feet six inches by
one inch thick. They are admitted into
the country free Of duty, provided they
are declared as saWn stones.

He Loses His Life Saving Family
From Fire. &%.s
II just got in this morning. said
Charles r. Hunter Of Memphis, Tenn,
at the Southern yesterday, but I can n
tell you good story. Do. you know
that it is a fact that one-half Of our
town is mourning the death of the
greatest and noblest beast that ever
lived anywhere? Yes, sir; it wouldn't
surprise me any to see somebody take
hold of the matter and put up a monu-
mtnt to the memory of Jack. Let
me tell you about him. -s,..#
s'He belonged to a grocer on the out
skirts of the town, and early last Sun
day morning he gave up his life to
save others. Some time before day
light the grocer, whose name was Ro-
senstein. was awakened by the bark
ing Of the dog. At first he paid no at
tention to it, but the constant noise
angered him, and he got up, and,
taking stick, opened the door, in
tending to quiet Jack with licking
AS he opened the door the dog rushed
past him, and bounded into the sleep
ing department.. Barking loudly, he
pulled at the clothing OH the children's
bed till he pulled it off. and then with
his paws showed the little oles out on
the floor. z II
The grocer then discovered that the
entire front Of his little house was in
flames. and that he had scarcely time
to get his wife and children out Of the
house. They wore only their night
clothes, and barely escaped with their
lives. A few minutes later the house
was a mass Of smouldering charcoal.
When hey came to look for Jack it was
found that he had lost his way in the
smoke, and had burned to death after
saving the family from the fate that
he might easily have avoided for him
