When the line of the Kamehamehas became
extinct, the glory of the Hawaiian monarchy
departed. The last King. Kamehameha ".
died in 1873. A High Chief. LunaliIo, was
elected to the throne, but lived less than year.
Then the well known Kalakaua was elected
King. Though not of royal blood Kalakaua was
the next IN ilile belonging to High Chief
family, but in which an early mesalliance had
mixed Ethiopian blood to the disad vantage of
the smooth, brown skin, regular features and
straight hair of the Polynesian
It'll the unexpected that always happens.
This was fully illustrated in the selection Of
Kalakana. He was young man, holding a
position at the palace of 81 800 year He was
fairly good looking dashing young fellow,
fond of society, and in this country would be
termed dude. But he was the available
member of the family next in rank, and was
elected King.
1t is not generally known that Kapiolan

her, She was not Of royal blood, and not dis

Kspiolani was common native, and the
widow of the royal coachnan. who left her con-
siderable wealth. Her marriage with Kala-
kaua gave him money and made her Queen. He
was notorious spendthTft, always in debt, and
the Government, while he was King was in
constant struggle to make ends meet. kapio-
iani. on the contrary. was thrifty to the extent
of penuriousness. When the King died she
had saved fortune, on which she retired to
her own handsome residence and has ever
since lived as Queen Dowager, in independent
luxury.

On the contrary Mr. Davies had been ad-
yised to remain where he was and not NEEDLE
with the Hawaiian question. The presence of
the Princess could not affect the annexation
in one way or the other. The United States
Government was not treating with the Princess
or Mr. Davies. So long AS the deposed Queen
had not abdicated in favor of the Princess the
latter's claims to the throne could rot be con-
sidered. In word, the Princess is not in it,"
A EUNGLING DIPLOMAT.
III this was plain enough before Mr.. Davies
started in OH the business of materializing his
own scheme for making the Princess Queen,
with Council of Regents. In doing this he
ignores the Queen fully as much as the sup
porters of the Provisional Government. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Davies, while speaking one
word for the Princess is speaking two for Mr.
Davies. he is the largest English merchant
and sugar planter on the islands. AS q large
importer of English goods Tor many years Mr.
fDayies has added greatly to his wealth. He is
also the Agent for the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way and Steamship Company. All his Inter
estS and desires are therefore intensely English.
BY annexation to the United States Mr. Davies
must pay duties on his imported goods. and
Canadian Pacific Railway and Steamship inter-
ests would have small chance against the COM
merce OF the United States. Naturally enough
this English defender of the Princess's claims
opposes annexation. With the Princess Queen
and Council OF Regents, Mr.. Davies would be
Prime Minister. or Prime something as he GER
tainly would deserve to be. But England
would be the power behind the throne of
Hawaii.
1t is a somewhat remarkable fact, a fact stated
by Mr.. Davies himself, that all this time he has
failed to receive word from the father of the
Princess, or from her aunt, the deposed Queen.

homogeneous though it appear, the game OF

church festival in some parts of both England
and the continent. 1t was introduced after
this fashion: During the singing of the an
them Bishop, priests, and choristers danced in
stately measure before the altar, while the
ball was gravely tossed from hand to hand. At
the conclusion of this remarkable service it
was usual to distribute tansy cakes to the
players who had most distinguished themselves.
These dainties, by the way, we're very popu-
lar at Easter, and were composed of flour, but
ter, sugar, cream and tansieS. The principal
ingredient (whence the name) was a species of
bitter herb, said to have been originally used
by the Jews at the feast of the Passover, and
was strongly recommended by physicians for
purging the stomach of the phlegm, etc., that
was apt to result from a prolonged diet of fish

derived from paganism.
1t is still customary in most Roman Catho-
lie countries for the dignitaries OF tine Church
to wash the feet of II paupers on Holy Thurs
day, in accordance with sacred precedent. In
England, however, for many centuries, this
mental duty was the peculiar privilege of
Kings aud Queens, and it was usual to both
cleanse and kiss the feet OF as many poor men
and women as royalty was years old besides
bestowing alms. When Queen Elizabeth was
SO years of age, she performed the ceremony ut
Greenwich Palace in this manner: The 75
pauper feet were first carefully washed in per.
fumed water by the yeoman of the laundry.

Likewise. we know that the Jews celebrate
their Passover at this season.
Therefore il seems az il humanity had ever
been instnctively inclined to rejoice and be
glad at the lovely period of Natures reawaken-
ing. Christianity certainly has never failed to
appreciate the charming significance Of the
pagan holiday without losing sight of the
beautiful spiritual meaning conveyed III the

takes SO much pride in this bright festival of
her revival that cloudess skies almost invaria-
bly, vie in generous rivalry with the verdure

course, all selfrcspecting individuals sally
forth to church on Easter morning to enjoy the
superb music, the lavish floral decoration,
possibly the sermon, if it be not too long; but
after that duty is performed. the best of US

And what beanteous visions do we behold,
indeed, on fair Sunday! 1t happens to be an
absolute truth that the man or woman who
wilfuliy negects to wear something brand
new in honor of the occasion is generally held
to be sadly deficient in becoming sense of
propriety, unless he or she can plead hopeless
impeeuniosity. And this is sound reasoning,
too. for it is manifest mistake to regard this
tendency to gay plumage as a mere concession
to Manmop. Far from tits nothing less
than tribute to Nature which is eminently
appropriate.
1t was an old saying in England that every
person must have some part of his clothes new

fortune that year.
