A RIGHT ROYAL ROBE.
Made OF Rare Feathers for the Ruler
Of the Sandwich Islands.

Made Of Rare Feathers for the RuleP
Of the Sandwich Islands.
A million dollars seems a pretty
round sum to pay for cloak; and
probably even Worth never dreamed of
asking SO fabulous a price for the most
elaborate of his garments. And yet in
the National museum at Washington is
a cloak the cost Of which cannot be
reckoned at less than this vast amount;
and ladies may be pleased to learn that
it was not woman, but a man, who
was guilty of such piece of extrava-
gance. e..
Long years ago, when the Hawaiian
islands, small as they are, supported
not one but several furnishing king
doms, the kings, chiefs and mobiles,
whenever they appeared in public on
state occasions, wore, instead of the
purple and ermine of more civilized
potentates, capes and cloaks of brilliant
feathers. The ladies of the court were
forced to content themselves with
feather-boas, as we should call them,
known as "leis." These capes and col.
lars were made from the yellow, red
small birds peculiar to the Sandwich
islands, and called, from their habits,
honey-suckers. Fashion ruled even in
those days, and as the yellow feathers
were scarcer than the red, yellow was
the fashionable color; and the more
powerful the chief the more yellow was
his robe of state. These yellow feathers
were found only on two or three species
OF birds, the finest coming from bird
called in the native language ''mamo."
and known as Drepanis pacifica by
ornithologists.
These birds, with their striking
black-and-yellow plumage, were as
dear to the hearts of the Hawaiian mon
archs as they might be to-day to the
hearts of patriotic Princeton students,
and were sought for, far and near
throughout the islands. The populace
paid poll-taxes in golden feathers in-
stead of golden dollars, and as each bird
furnished but few feathers, the taxes
may be considered as having been high.
Some estimate of the value of the
feathers may be formed from the
prices paid in later times, when piece
of nankeen cloth valued at dollar and
a half was the equivalent of five feath-
ers; but, after all, the great element in
the cost of these cloaks was time and
labor, since the making of a single
cloak required from so to 100 years.
! AS the feathers obtained for taxes
were very far from supplying the de-
mand, the chiefs were accustomed to
employ regular staff of bird-catchers.
much as a medieval baron had his staff
| OF falconers. These skilled foresters
prepared a sort of bird-lime from the
gum OF the fragrant "olapa," mixed
with the juice of the breadfruit tree,
and with it smeared the branches of the
towering trees frequented by the
! honey-suckers.- A. Lucas, in

First Worked His Famous Trick of
Running Across the Diamond.
In recent ball game at the polo
grounds visiting player scored from
second base by not going within yard
of third. This trick was originated by
the late Mike Kelly when he was men,
Der of the famous Chicago champions.
The first time he tried it successfully
was in Boston about IL years ago.
There were 10000 persons present, and
when the last half of the ninth inning
began the score was tied. Kelly, who
was the first man at the bat, turned to
the crowded grand stand, before TAX
ing his place. and shouted: :.
r. "Open the gates and go home! It's
all overt" Kel was guyed numerically,
but he merely laughed and cracked out
safe hit. As he crossed first base he
fell, and rolled on the ground in appar-
ent agony.
cts me ankle!" cried the king, and
the Chicago players took off his shoe.
After Is minutes delay Kelly got up
and seemed to be very lame. The Bos-
ton battery, believing that he could not
run, paid little attention to him, until
suddenly he dashed for second like a
real Splinter and slid around Burdock
in safety. .,.~-,....,~..,s----.
''Never touched mel" yelled Kelly,
and then all eyes were turned to Capt.
Arson. The latter finally pushed a
slow grounder toward John Morrill,, the
first baseman, and Eugene Van Court,
the umpire, ran down the base line to
see whether Morrill, got to the bag
ahead of Arson. He believed Kelly
would go only as far as third, so he did
not look at Mike.
The moment the ball was hit by An
son, Kel ran as far as the shortstop,
then turned boldly into the infeld and
cut across at least five yards from third.
He reached the base line before the UNI
pire turned to see what he ws doing,
and fairly flew across the plate in long
slide with the winning run.
'He didn't touch third!' screamed
thousands.
HE cut the bag by five yards!" roared
Sam Wise, the Boston shortstop. But
the umpire was helpless, as he hadn't
seen the trick, and so was compelled to
allow the run. The big crowd, at first
enraged at the trick, leaped down upon
the field in threatening manner. But
Kel soon won everybody over by shout
ing:
cts all over! The games won! You
can't get it back! Open the gates!"
Then there was a great cheer for the
trickiest ball player who ever walked
the diamond. This trick was original
with Kelly and many players have tried
it since.-N. Y. Sun.
