CRABS, DUCKS AND QUAIL.

Soft-Shell Grabs Washed Ashore at
Saybrook-Fifteen Ducks at a Shot.
Middletown, Dec. 25.-During the past
week something very unusual was seen
at Saybrook Point. The shore from
Fenwick west for nearly a mile has
been strewn with soft-shell crabs,
which have been picked up and dispos-
ed of at unusually good prices. Every
flood tide brought in the crabs, and
when it receded left them on the shore.
Over three hundred were gathered on
Tuesday and two hundred on Wednes-
day. AS they readily bring fifty cents
a dozen, some of the residents have
reaped a harvest
Eugene Monroe of Lyme shot fifteen
black ducks near Poverty Island Tues
day at one shot. The birds had been
driven in from the sound by the gale
| and took refuge under the lee of the
| island. Mr.. Monroe lay in the bottom
of white boat, which he allowed to
float with the drifting ice to within a
short distance of the flock.
Several Middletown sportsmen are
planning to assist game birds, especial
ly quail, through the winter They
have arranged to have places cleared
in favorable localities in the woods and
grain deposited. Nearly every hunter
about here has contributed, hoping
thereby to protect the birds against
starvation.

queen regent, and many of the prin-
cipal chiefs, We're members Of the
church.
The people in 1928 would come regu-
larly so or 60 miles, travelling the whole
of Saturday, to attend Sabbath wor-
ship; and would gather in little compa-
MES from every point of the compass.
All the converts We're kept in training
classes a year before they We're admit
ted to the church, and then only on the
strictest examination. During the two
following years $50 persons We're re-
ceiVed to communion at the several
stations.
In 1886 the whole aspect of the field
was so inviting that the board sent out
strong missionary reinforcement of
80 persons, male and female.
During the six years from 1888 to 1S4S
inclusive $1,000 persons We're admitted
to the churches.
The next twenty years added more
than 10000 other members to the
churches, making the whole number
received up to 1868 some $4,000 souls.
Many of these had then been eXepm-
municated-in some instances, it was
thought, too hastily; many thousands
had gone home to heaven; and in 1863
some 10000 still survived in connection
with the churches.
On the 18th of January, 1864 at
Queens hospital, Honolulu, died Will
liam Kanui (Tennooe), aged sixtyy-six
years, the last of the native youth who
gave rise to the mission and accompa-
MED the first missionaries.
Could the spirit of Henry ObooEiah
have stood in Honolulu soon after the
funera of Kanui he would have hardly
recognized his native island except by
it's great natural landmarks. He would
have seen the city of Honolulu, once
a place of grass huts and filthy lanes,
now marked by substantial houses and
sidewalks and a general air of civiliZa-
ton; race of once naked savages de-
Gently attired and living, some of them,
in comparative refinement; nation OF
readers whom he left without an alpha
bet Christian marriage firmly estab-
lished in place of almost promiscuouS
concubinage; property in the interior
exposed with absolute security for an
indefinite time, where formerly nothing
was safe for an hour; the island dotted
with a hundred capacious church edl-
fees built by native hands, some of
them made OF stone, most of them with
bells; a noble array of several hundred
common schools, two female semina-
ries, normal school for natives,
high school that furnished the first
scholar to one of the classes in Will
liams college; theological seminary
and twenty nine native preachers, be-
sides eighteen male and female mis-
| sionaries sent to the Marquesas IS
lands; some 10000 living church mem
| bers; a government with a settled con-
stitution, a legislature and courts or
| Justice. and avowing the Christian re-
| Iigion TO be ''the established national
| religion of the Hawaiian Islands.

Letter From Courier Correspondent
Auckland A Beautiful City.-Geran-
iums Six Feet Tall-Callas Plentiful
AS Weeds.
Teppa, Auckland, New Zealand, Nov.
u, 1861 wrote you last from Hon.
oluIu and sent you papers; also papers
from Suva, one of the Fiji Islands. We
had a fine run from Honolulu to Fiji
and thence to Auckland. l thought the
harbor of San Francisco was mag
nificent but the entrance to Auckland
excels it. AS you approach the city you
see islands and mountains on every
side. The mountains are mostly extinct
volcanoes with the buildings of the city
and suburbs creeping up the sides,
adding picturesque beauty to the
scene that | have not seen anywhere
else in my travels. Owing to the climate
here the flowers are something marvel
Gus. The thermometer rarely rises
above eighty and frost is unknown;
have seen hedges of geraniums six feet

and the beautiful callas that we take
so much pains to grow in pots, grow
wild at the roadside and are cut down
like weeds. There are a number of
orange trees outside of my window
covered with fruit with which I regale
myself before breakfast. Auckland is
a fine flourishing city of over 10000
inhabitants. 1t has a large shipping
business both to the colonies and to
England. On Monday 1 am going to the
gold mines and the hot lake region.

California.

Every Wednesday and Saturday at
6 p. m. a train leaves Chicago over
the famous Santa Fe route, which
makes the run to Southern California
in less than three days. This train is
composed Of Pullman palace vestibuled
sleeping cars, buffet smoker and din
ing car Of the most luxurious pattern
ever designed.
Another improvement in the Santa
F'e service is in the time of the weekly
tourist excursions, which now leave
Boston every Thursday at 80 a. M,
and reach California the following
Tuesday. The cost of tickets is lower
and the time faster via these excur-
sions than via any other.
The Santa F'e route is the only line
running entirely over its own tracks
from Chicago to California, and those
who intend making a trip west will find
it to their advantage to communicate
with S. w. Manning, New England
Agent of this line, at 1872 Washington
street, Boston.

The king and the chiefs, with their
families, were the first pupils. Within
three months the king could read the
English language, and in six months
several chiefs could both read and
write. The missionaries devoted them
selves to the work of reducing the ma
tive speech to writing; and in less than
two years the first sheet of a native
spelling book was printed. Several ac-
cessions of Iaborers were received from
America.
The first baptized native was Keep
uolani, the mother of the king.
In 1924 the principal chiefs formally
agreed to recognize the Sabbath and to
adopt the ten commandments as the
b. sis of government. They also soon
pa ssed a law forbidding females to Wis

laymen of the Congregational church
in Connecticut there is hardly any one
who can speak with more authority and
more interest on such a theme as this.
The theme, too, is one which is of espe-

methods of church organizations are
to an unusual extent, under discussoin
and when a change from the old order
is promised in many quarters.
