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

Made OF Hare Feathers for the Ruler 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 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 amounts
and ladies may be pleased to learn that
it was not a woman, but man, who
was guilty of such piece of extraV-
agance.
Long years ago, when the Hawaiian
Islands, small as they are, supported
not one 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 bril-
liant feathers. The ladies Of the court
were forced to content themselves with
feather boas; as we should call them,
known as "leis.'' These eapes and
collars were made from the yellow, Eed
and black feathers Of a few species OF
small birds peculiar to the Sandwich
Islands, and called, from their habits
honey-suckers. ashton ruled even in
those days, and as the yellow feathers
were scarcer than the red, the yellow
was the fashionable color, and the
more powerful the chief the more yel-
low was his robe Of state. These yel-
1low feathers were found only on two
or three species Of birds, the finest
coming from a bird called in the ma
tive language "maino" and known as
Drapanis pacifica by ornithologists.
These birds, with their striking black
and yellow plumage, were as dear to
the hearts of the Hawaiian monarehs
as they might be to-day to the hearts
Of patriotic Princeton students, and
were sought for far and near through
out the islands. The populace paid
poll-taxes in golden feathers instead
of golden dollars, and as each bird fur
nished 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 i've
feathers; but, after all, the great ele-
ment in the cost Of these cloaks was
the time and labor, since the making
of a single cloak required from ffty
to hundred years.
AS the feathers obtained for taxes
were very far from supplying the de-
mand, the chiefs were accustomed to
employ a regular staff of bird-eatchersi
much as medieval baron had his
staff of falconers. These skilled for
esters prepared sort Of birdlime from
the gum Of the fragrant "olapa, ml4eo
with the juice of the breadfruit tree,
and with it smeared the branches OF
the Towering trees frequented by tne
honey-suckers.-St. Nicolas.

Naynl Observatory Flagpole.

Probably the tallest fagpole in the
vicinity of Washington has been
erected by the navy department at the
south entrance of the new naval OBJ
servatory. It is made of seasoned
Georgia pine, fifteen inches through
at the base, and is eighty-six feet high
in the clear. 1t is surmounted by
weather vane in the form of steel
arrow, four feet long, plated with
gold leaf, standing on a large metal
ball, which is also covered with gold
leaf. The pole and accessories were
constructed at the Washington navy
yard.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Cold Water for Rose Slugs.

Rose slugs are very troublesome, es.
pecially on sandy soil, where they will
increase faster than they can be killed
of. 1t is not so generally known as
it should be that cold water thrown
with force pump against rose bushes
will entirely destroy the slugs and do
the roses no harm. Water that IS
heated to 13O degrees or 140 degrees
will also kill not only rose slugs but
most kinds of insect pests.

Bran for Cows in Summer.

All good cows fresh in milk grow
poor in summer, when they have moth
ing but pasture. They also grow
poor on any other like succulent feed.
Corn fodder averages poorer than
grass and clover pasture in available
nutrition for milk making. So even
after corn fodder supplements the
grass feed, the COW is obliged to make
up for the deficiency in feed from the
fats previously stored in her own
body, especially .on the intestines,

Deafness Cannot Rc Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way TO cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the intlam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous surfaces.

ANNExATIoN OF HAWAII.


Senator Morgan Of Alabama is an
enthusiastic advocate Of the annexa-
tion of the Hawaiian republic by the
United states. He has repeatedly
given to the press his views upon this
subject. and according to an interview
with him which appears in The press
dispatches today, his recent visit 70
the islands has increased the zeal with
which he urges Uncle Sam to gather
them in. The strategic and CONNER
tlal reasons advanced by him in sup
port Of his position are undeniably
cogent, and It Is asserted that poll Of
the United states Senate shows that
Senator Morgan has ON his side
strong majority Of that body, and that
the annexation treaty will be promptly
ratified.
The people Of Utah feel n peculiar
interest in this subject on account of
the fact that several thousand natives
Of the Sandwich islands are Latter
day Saints but they have been pre-
vented in the past from gathering with
the main body Of the Church by local
laws which forbade their migration to
foreign countries. Should annexation
be consummated. as now seems most
probable, the natives of the Sandwich
islands will become American citizens,
and will, OF course. be at liberty to
migrate to any part Of Uncle Sans
dominions they may desire. so far as
legal restrictions are concerned. BY
special permission. d few native Ha-
waiians, some years ago, came to Utah
TO settle permanently. but it would not
necessarily follow, as consequence of
the annexation Of their country to this,
that any considerable number Of the
I.atter-day Saints among the native
population would migrate to Utah i'm
mediately.
The probability Of the early clothing
of the Hawaiian nation with the rights
of American citizenship, by such n
sweeping process as annexation. re-
calls some interesting proceedings

ago, One OF the ITawaians above re-

Pass the Tariff and Go Home.

President McKinley's first duty is to
insist, not upon the treaty, but upon
tariff bill that will give adequate rev.
enue for governmental expenses and
also give proper protection to the in
dustrial interests of the country and
the American workingman. When he
has made this clear to the special ses-
sion, and the Dingley bill has been
passed and becomes a law, the next
step will be to dissolve congress. There
is no other legislative business for it
to take up or discuss. The tariff is the
only matter of pressing Importance.
But new tariff bill with congress in
session will hardly bring about pros
perity. Every business interest will
feel safer if senators and congressman
are in their homes instead of in Wash
ington. We need the tariff bill mighty
badly, but we need the rest cure also
