approaching car when his wheel was
struck. He was thrown violently for
ward, striking his head upon one Of thu
rails. Motorman Hancock soon brought
his car to a standstill, but not until IL

The lecture at Blavatsky hall, 525
West Fifth street, at II a. m. was well
attended. H. A. Gibson spoke on "The
Resurrection of the Dead" and said in
part: The greater portion of those pres

damental points on the miraculous, the
resurrection of the body and the for
giveness of sins by the suffering of an

leved in by many as the only hope.
This comes from taking as literally true
that which is placed in a mystical book
and requires Interpretation along mys-
tical lines, as do all Scriptures. Christ

lighteneth every man that cometh into
the world. Man, by immersing his con-
sciousness almost completely, has lost
knowledge and power of the divinity
in each and has died to that phase of
being, but the dead shall rise, and Christ
shall be known to be in each the hope
OF glory. By right living and growth in
knowledge and purity each may event.

A RIGHT ROYAL ROBE.



A million dollars seems a pretty
round sum to pay for a cloak, and prob
ably even Worth never dreamed of ask
ing so fabulous Il price for the most
elaborate Of his garments. And yet in
the National museum at Washington is
n cloak the cost of which cannot be
reckoned at less than this vast amount,
and ladies may DO pleased to learn that
it was not a woman, but man, who
was guilty of such a piece of extrava-
gance
Long years ago, when the Hawaiian
Islands, small as they are, supported
not ono but several fourishing 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 feath-
er boas, rs we should call them, known
ms leis. These capes and collars were
made from the yellow, red and black
feathers of a few species of small birds
peculiar to the Sandwich Islands and
called, from their habits, honey suck
ers. Fashion ruled oven 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 pacitica by ornithologists
These birds, with their striking black
and yellow plumage, were as dear to
the hearts Of the Hawaiian monarchs ms
they might be today to the hearts of
patriotic Princeton students and were
sought for far and near throughout the
islands. The populaco paid poll taxes in
golden feathers instead of golden dol
lars, and MS each bird furnished but q
few feathers the taxes may be consid-
cred as having been high. Some esti-
mate of the value of the feathers may
be formed from tho prices paid in later
times, when piece Of nankeen cloth
valued at $3.50 was tho equivalent Of
five feathers; 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 Gar from supplying the dc.
mand the chiefs We're accustomed to
employ regular staff of bird catchors,
much MS a medieval baron had his staff
Of falconers. These skilled foresters pre-
pared a sort of bird limo from the gum
of the fragrant olapa mixed with the
juice of the 5readfruit tree, and with it
smeared the branches of the Towering
trees frequented by the honey suckers
