VIgorous Pro.ecution. Arc Neede,

There should be no delay in instituting
the proposed prosecutions against dealers
In oleomargarine Or butterine who fail to
comply with the law regarding the marks
to be placed on packages of those commod-
tiles. This law was enacted to protect the
dealer In and consumer of genuine butter
from the frauds of INSCRIPTIONS people
who, taking advantage of the difference be-
tween the prices, might make great profits
through the credulity of their customers
1t Is plain declaration, with penalties pro-
V1ded, and there is no possible excuse for
its violation. There is no offense in selling
either of these limitations of or substitutes
for butter. as they are recognized as whole
some articles of food and are preferred by
some consumers. But they should be sold
for what they are. The fraud consists In
the deception that, it now appears, is freely
and boldly practiced by certain local deal
ers. who shrewdly manage to throw tine
discredit resulting from the dissatisfaction
of their customers upon the honest sellers
OF real butter whose trade marks and titles
they adopt. 1t is no marvel that the lead
Ing dealers In butter. who never touch any
other product, should desire active prosecu-
tion when they discover that such frauds
are being conducted and the people of the
city, whether they prefer butter, oleomar-
garine or butterine, should aid in exposing
these dishonest transactions, for they are
entitled to know exactly what they get
and to get it at the lowest retail price. 1t
is unfortunate that the earlier indictments
against these men did not result In trials
and their incidental publicity. The mere
payment of fines does not satisfy the pur-
poses of the law which was intended to
prevent quiet infringemcnts, and in the
present cases, if positive proof of fraud
are presented, the extreme penalties should
be imposed after the names and methods of
every guilty dealer are given the widest
publicity.

divinity has given him a favorable
answer, and therefore she must marry
him. And so with everything that
concerns the people.
Sorcery is very common AMI resort
ed to by the women very largely. 1t
is not uncommon for g man TO profess
TO hold communion with the spirits,
and often one will remain in trance
for several days, TO come out with
some announcement with reference 10
the anu. Levi, an Influential and
very wicked man on Ruk, has recent
ly been in such a trance and came out
to build house for the heather dance
which he started soon after, and
which has been the source OF great
evil. This heather dance, or "puarik,"
is really a feast to the devil; not to
Olofat, the foe of Anulap, but TO the
evil spirit that is abroad in the earth.
1t is conducted with wild madness
and most licentious practices. 1t has
a powerful fascination for these emo
tional people, even though they well
know that it is destructive of social
life and domestic peace. 1t is said to
prOpitiate the evil spirit, land many of
the people are afraid not to partici-
pate in the feast lest they should in
cur the especial displeasure Of the evil
one. This accounts for the fact that
old and decrepit people attend the
puarik with little sense of shame, be-
cause they are driven to go out of fear
of the evil spirit; and as they take no
part in the licentious practices, they
do not see the especial harm. SO far
as 1 have learned, there is no such
thing as bloody sacrifices, so that it is
not strange that their ideas of sin and
sense of the need of forgiveness are
very obscure.
These notes might be extended to
other topics, but they are sufficient, /
am sure, to show the need of these be-
nighted and sin-cursed people for the
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, as
well as to indicate how necessary is
patient continuance in the great work
of redeeming these islands for our
King.

Those who are agents for

own mills.
Hundreds of competitive
tests have been made with the
600 w Cylinder Oil against
other grades, and it has de-
monstrated its value for eco

We also handle this oil in
three other grades known as

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-10-11
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

They believe that there Is one great
divine being, whom they call Anulap,
the great spirit who dweils in the
highest heavens apart from all other
beings, surrounded by his own
majesty and glory. He has little to
do with the affairs Of men, and is
mainly concerned in himself and lost
in plation. With him,
however, there dwell two lesser,
though very great, divinities-one
good and the other bad. The good
one is called Semen an KaDor. He is
a great chief and is intimately,
though subOTdinately, associated with
Anulap. He created the world at the
command of Anulap, sustains the
world now, and gives careful atten-
ton to the affairs of the great Anu.
wicked spirit but does not NEEDLE with
the affairs of men. He troubles Anu
lap; steals his goods, destroys his
property aud torments him generally.
They DO not fear this evil spirit, be-
cause they say be does not care any
thing about the affairs Of men. There
are two heavens-the heaven of the
clouds and the highest heaven where
the great spirits dwell. In the lower
heaven, the heaven of the clouds, the
spirits, or anu, dwell. These anu,
men. which have become anu after
death, dwell in tee low heaven, be-
cause they want to be near the earth,
and they are continually occupied
with the affairs of men. individuals,
families and tribes select their OWL
anu, pay them divine honors and
supplicate them for favors. Every
island and every division of land, as
also every occupation, has its special
anu, which is both worshiped and
feared. The people sacrifice to these
divinities by throwing offerings into
the air; and, while they do not seem
to think that these spirits are good,
they believe that evil will be warded
Off by propitiating them. These are
the popular objects of worship. All
the people believe in them and many
fear them.
A peculiar superstition is that of
rainbow worship by sailors and all
who go about in boats. The sea is the
home OF the rainbow and it is under
its especial control; therefore when
they 60 to sea, even though they may
worship God on the land, they must
pay honors to his divinity-the rain
bow. They wear a charm about the
of beads or pearls,
but oftener OF twisted blades of grass
and when they are ready for voyage
they hold this up before their eyes,
humble some sort of a prayer, and
divine from the appearance of the
charm what their voyage will be.
They propitiate the rainbow by
refraiuing from certain foods on
their voyage and by offerings.
Noyagers starting out from home VIII
hail those returning and ask them
what they may eat. The captain
wears the charm, which is called the
"Uput an Pallu," and may be trans
la'ed, "The divining Of the captain"
Uput is, however, a far wider super
stitiOn than that of rainbow worship.

DRESS AND CUSTOMS.

The native dress is a loin cloth for
the men and a short skirt for the
women. Since the coming of the
missionaries the men and women
have begun to wear long shoulder
garment, which greatly improves
their appearance; and the teachers
and some of the Christians put on our
full dress. The climate being warm,
the people take TO clothing reluctant
ly; but there is a growing sentiment
among the Christians in favor OF
wearing our clothing. Sometimes
they get up very curious cOmbina
tions. For instance, the deacon of the
church at Losap had on an old faded
pair of blue denim pants, long, dirty
shirt which he wore outside his pants,
and over this little white duck coat;
a woman, who had been approved to
come into the church at Etal, had no
shoulder garment on, and L told the
teacher that he must tell her that it
would not do for her to stand up with
out a shoulder garment. She was
equal to the emergency, and when
called her name she came forward
with heavy coverlet wrapped about
her shoulders. The poor thing nearly
melted before we got through with the
service, but she endured it bravely.
Marriage is recognized, but the tie is
very loose. 1t is very common for one
party to desert the other for a trivial
cause and re-marry, and among the
heather there is very little social
restraint. The people are usually
kind, well-disposed, and little given
to committing depredations. In APP
pearance they are not disagreeable;th the
face is round, broad across the cheeks,
and tapering toward the top; they are
Al. ,Ia 4,

The houses are rude and without
floors. In Ruk they usually raise the
caves of the roof few feet from the
ground, and thus make their homes
light and airy; but in the Mortlocks
the caves of the roof are set on the
ground, the gables are boarded or
matched up, only q very small hole IS
left for ingress or egress, and the
houses are very dark and dismal
within, besides being close and IN
healthy. The people seem to abhor
privacy. Several families Will often
be found in one room, with no parti-
tions or screens between them, the
place of each family being marked by
their mats, which are spread on the
ground. Great evils, of course, arise
from this custom, and the social prob
lem is made very difficult of solution
where people live together so promis-
cuously. The cooking is usually done
in an outbuilding-in Ruk by the
men, but in the MOrtlocks by the
women.
