VICTIM OF WITCHCRAFT.
Hx-Queen Liliuokalani Was Threat
ened with Living Burial
A Dnsky sorceress Announced Herself as
Goddess and Invoked the Dread
Power of the Anaana Upon
the Superstitious Queen.

Liliuokalani, an untranslatable word,
signifying one belonging to Heaven
and of chiefly rank, or Lydia, as she was
Familiarity called in childhood, was
taught her letters at the young
Chiefs school" She was very amiable
and rather backward, in strange, yet
not inexplicable contrastwith her con-
duct in after years.
Made queen, writes DR.. c, f. Nichols,
IN the Overland Monthly, she reward
ed by dismissal every effort on the part
of her counselors to uphold good faith
and wise and reasonable conduct Of
public affairs. In one week Liliuokalani
dissolved three cabinetsopposedt to her.
1t may not be amiss, in an age ever
ready, for political reasons, to extol q
lie, and when a certain sort Of poesy
is discovered in the maudlin tragedy Of
Liliuokalani, to present the briefest pos
sible analysis of belief and practice
not popularity known and creating an
environment teeming with disturbing
factors for the ex-queen.
Lacking serpents, the fair islands OF
the Hawaiian group possess snake
life, with rattle Ckakeke), hypnotic
fascination, secreted poison, and the
power of dealing death, which may just
ly claim study from the standpoint Of
psychology, with curious bearing upon
the unwritten history Of Liliuokalani's
alteration and fall.
If we except the atrocious details of
child murder, where native father has
been known to break his child's back
for the sake of annoying the mother,
there is no darker outgrowth of savage
ry than the anaana- This power of
praying" any person to death, even
his chief or the king, gives to the native
kahuna or sorcerer an influence far
transcending the force of arms among
all the tribes of Polynesia.
"All the divinity that doth hedge a
king" must prove of small avail If q
nail pairing, a hair, or a speck of the
royal saliva fall into the possession of
any sorcerer ready for regicide. The
kahuna seems to defy this material,
which he addresses as an idol or fetch,
praying 1t to destroy the life Of the
victim.
'In many instances" Mr., Bishop says,
death Is due to superstitious belief

in demon whom the native feels work
ing in his vitals, and whom it is hopeless
to resist
A conspicuous triumph of the sorcer-
ers occurred in the career of three mem
beers of Liliuokalani's immediate family,
and finally, in her loss of right to rule
her little kingdom of Hawaii. Letters
from reliable sources in 1898 represent
the queen to have been long in Kahuna-
tolls and vacillating pitiful1y between
good and evil counsels. Sacrifices were
offered in the ancient way, and by the
kahunas in the palace premises. Yet,
next day, we find her calling in the
Protestant clergy for their prayers to
Jehovah. Once more she explained to
a deputation of ladies her desire to do
right, finally, however, yielding GLADLY
to the Bladder end"
"The queen reasoned with Parker,
her prime minister, who opposed her
conduct. She seemed beside herself
with terror concerning the aumakaas,
who are threatening to bury her.
1.-THE queen is acting under the sug-
gestions of the kahunas, witch woman,
Pulcle of Lanai, has announced herself
a goddess, threatening the queen, at
behest of the deities, in case she fails to
restore the ancient privileges of the
sorcerers, even to establishment of the
rites of heathendom and repossession of
lands, to be taken back from the for
eigners."
Clearly conspiracy of kahunas with
avaricious politicians.
'In case she, the queen, fails in all
this, vengeance will follow promptly,
and she will be buried alive, with
anaana."
A native addressing the mob, urged
the people to seize and bury her, the
kahunas assisting. Whenever the snake
life has opportunity it becomes danger
GUS to all who would avoid a return to
the anarchy and license of the native
life. Pitied and pardoned again and
again, Liliuokalani returns to courses
alike destructive to herself and sub
jects.
At the time it seemed incredible, yet
the history of her brothers and sister
point to the especially superstitious and
yielding nature Of this family. Leleio-
hoku, brother and heir apparent Of
Kalakaua, is known to have been prayed
to. death, The writer well remembers

Accidents in England.

Mortuary statistics of the year 1895
show that $50 people were killed in
England through railroad accidents,
while 1854 persons lost their lives in
accidents TO vehicles drawn by horses.
OF this number, those killed outright
numbered 253 crushed by trains, against
S72 vistims trampled to death by
horses or accidentally killed under
wagon wheels. Itseems, therefore, that
railroad travel is safer than riding in
carriages or wagons.

insisted on, and died in February, 1887.
Kalakaua, the late king, escaped all
possible attack from anaana by his con-
cessions: in fact, he was deified and
vorshipped as a god few days before
his death.

SWEDEN'S ROYAL FAMILY.
King Oscar Is Very Genial Man, But the
Crown Prince Is Cold.

King Oscar Is Very Genial Man, But the
Crown Prince Is Cold.
King Oscar is known as the most
learned monarch of Europe. He speaks
and writes all of the modern languages
and several of the classical. AS a poet,
musical composer and author of po-
litical and historical works he has an en-
viable reputation. He is great reader,
and his favorite books are all religious,
philosophic and historical subjects. But
above everything King Oscar is a poet.
Unfortunately no English translation
of his poetical works has been made,
but in German and italian they ore
widely read. Artists, painters and
sculptors have in king Oscar a great
admirer and liberal patron, his pri-
vate collection of paintings containing
1000 works by the best Swedish and

foreign artists, and the sculptures num-
Der $50. His private library is said to
be one of the best in Europe. No breath
of scandal has ever sullied his home
and reputation, and the Swedes may
we'll be proud of their king.
Queen Sophia, born princess of Mas
sau, is Of a very religious and chart
table nature. Her greatest pleasure is
TO benefit others, and all charitable In
situations in Sweden and Norway have
in her their most generous patron. With
a most pleasing and courteous manner,
plain in dress in her private life, and
easy of approach, she is beloved and re-
spected by the people over whom fate
called her to rule.
The crown prince is said to lack the
attributes that have made his father
so popular. He leans more toward a mil
itary regime, and is a great admirer of
his relative, Emperor Wilhelm of Ger
many. Austere and chilly in his man
ner, he has never been able to arouse
any enthusiasm among the Swedes. He
is highly respected, but the popular love
and devotion that other members of
his house have been the recipients Of
from the Swedes will probably not be
his.
King Oscars children and his grand
children received their education In q
large semipublic school in Stockholm
Here they were treated just like ordi-
nary children, walked to the school un-
attended, carried their own school books,
joined In the boys play just as the
other boys and in no way was their
royal birth indicated. From the school
they went to the Upsala university for
a continuation of their studies.
The little grandsons of King Oscar
are his pets, and when they are allowed
to visit grandfather It is holiday time
at the royal palace. The grandparents
are then as much children as the little
princes, and grandfather Is famous
with the boys for inyenting new plays.
The crown princess, mother Of the
boys, Is an invalid, said to. be dying Of
consumption and has to remain a great
part Of the year in Italy and the south
Of France. The care of the boys de-
wolves almost entirely on the grand
mother, Queen Sophia.

the spawn takers who wrest from them
their burden of embryo life. These spawn
takers are usually very expert and can
tell almost at glance If the fish are ripe
or ready to discharge their eggs. The
"roe'' or female fish is first taken up
and held firmly but carefully, with one
hand, while with the thumb and fingers
of the other hand the belly is gently
squeezed from the gills towards tho vent,
and the eggs If ripe, are expell ed in a
stream, into shallow porcelain basins
which contain little water.
The squeezing is continued until the
roe is omptied. The ''milt" or mals
fish. is now treated in the same way and
then the contents of the basin are gently
shaken and the eggs are fertilized, or
impregnated, and the life of the little fish
has commenced. All Of the selected fish
are now treated in the same way until
the lot is exhausted and the fish are
then returned uninjured to the fishermen.
The milf from one male or "buck" is
enough to impregnate several roes. The
number of eggs in one roe is rather sur
prising so. 600 being about the average
number but several hundred thousands
may be obtained.
After the eggs have been iInpre grated
they are poured into large tin buckets
ana as soon as possible carried to the
ship where they are washed and exam
ined and the work of Matching begun. In
| this way the maokerel eggs are obtained
by the Fish Hawks" men while the
crew of the schooner "Grampus'' is per-
| forming exactly the same work among
the pound fishermen of Cape Small Point
and the eggs collected there are sent to
the Fish Hawk" every morning by n
steam launch.
There are three methods of Matching.
similar in many ways but differing as
| to minor details. The first or most COM
mon of these, is the jar system invented
by the late Commissioner of Fish and
Fisheries Marshall3 .MoDonald. These
jars are Of glass with tightly fitting
metal tops in which are two holes for the
insertion Of glass tubes through which q
stream of fresh water is constantly flow
ing. The jars hold about seven quarts
each and about 9S, GOO eggs are put into
each one. These mackerel eggs are a lit
tie larger than the ordinary head of a
pin and are transparent. To each is at
tached by nature tiny oil bag, as in
the eggs Of all salt water fish, and these
keep the eggs floating about in the water
near the surface instead of allowing them
to sink to the bottom as is the case with
fresh water fish eggs and lobster eggs.
The eggs as has been said are placed in

of this vessel and in this work she has
made mag nificent record but in the
Matching CT Holsters and mackerel, the
work in which she is now engaged, the
Fish Hawk" promises to surpass all of
her former records in matching eggs.
When one steps onto the main |. deck of
the Fish Hawk as she is at present, he
almost imagines that he has made some
mistake and got into the laboratory of
a chemist. On both sides of the deck,
well lighted by the open ports, extend
long tables and on these are large glass
jars connected with an iron pire, which
runs along above, BY means of rubber
tubing. In these jars are countless
number of tiny, transparent globules in
constant motion in the running water.
These are the maokerel and lobster eggs
in the process of Matching and in oil
stages of development.
The season for getting mackerel eggs
lasts about five weeks beginning about
the last week in June and extending I'M
til the last of July. The eggs are collect
ed by the "spawn takers of the "Fish

Bay-A Description of the Fish Hawk.
For many years;the coast of Maine has
been famous for its mackerel and lobster
fisheries and in this business have been
employed hundreds Of men who havessent
TIE product Of their labors to nearly every
Portland where thousands of dollars
worth of mackerel and Holsters are
bought from the hardy fishermen and
shipped to all parts of the country, 1t
seems hardly possible that there could be
any scarcity in the supply of this fish
ger of these fisheries failing altogether
in a few years more. Such. however, is
the fact aud the mackerel fishermen and
lobster catchers along the Maine coast
will tell you that where the mackerel
were caught by tho schooner load COM
paratively few years ago, they are now
OILY captured by the barrel full and
where the lobster pots were never hauled
without finding two or three Holsters in
them, if one lobster is found in pot now
it is considered pretty coed LUCK.
What is the reason for this decrease in
the mum Der of mackerel? the reader may
ask. Well there are several reasons for
it but I'll tell you one that I heard on
Thursday while at Orr's Island. I asked
a weather beaten old mackerel fisherman
this same question. Before replying he
bit eff big piece of tobacco from plug
wabbled it around in his mouth for a
minute, neditatively and then said:
oval yer see, them seinsrs done it.
Them's the fellers what make mac'rel
sc-earce,' and this settled the question
according to his view of it. But tho
seiners or off shore fisheren tell differ
ent story. They lay the falling supply
to tho ravages of the in-shors fishermen.
Which Of these factions of mackerel fish
ers nre in the right 1t would be hard to
determine but the fact remains that
mackerel are growing fewer in numbers
every year and it is the same way with
tho Holsters.
Capt. J. J. Brice, the new commits
sioner of fish and fisheries of the United
States is aware of the gradual decrease
Of the macksrsl and lobster fisheries and
has undertaken to remedy the matter by
the artificial propagation of these fish.
