The only way to true hula is to
see ii in some faraway town in Hawaii where
the whites have not yet come There at we'd
ding celebrations you may the hula in its
native simplicity and harmless ness. Occasion
ally high-class and refined Hawaiians have the
dance given for the benefit of their visitors in
Honolulu. Then il is danced by graceful young
women naked above the waist. The late Prn-
cess Kaiulani, who was above suspicion
proach, witnessed one Of these native hulas no
later than last summer, and thought no harm.
OLIOLI SINGING GOING OUT
Another Hawaiian custom passing rapidly now
IS the oOli singing. In the olden days all
Hawaiian history oral and all intoned The
deeds of the kings from the earliest times were
all memorzed and all sung in sort Of chant
most melancholy and most soothing, half
yodel, half a hum. Professional historians sing
these legendary histories with marvellous cor
rectness OF memory all great occasions The
olios sung in classical Hawaiian, and the
younger Kanakas do not even understand the
words. Many OF the oliolis have been committed
to writing by foreign itterateurs more or less In
sympathy with the subject, but every year some
singer is gathered to the fathers, and there Is
one fewer OF the voices to he raised at funerals
and weddings. On the death Of Princess Kaiulani

the national dance or hula. The hula was a
purely national outgrowth, legitimate and en-
trely free from any wrong intent. 1t was the
ceremonial dance OF the Hawaiians given at all
feass and merrymakings. all weddings, births
and burials 1t was a graceful dance. too, full
OF charming posturing, with trailing hands in
poses Delsarte never dreamed OF, and feet that
remained almost stationary The hula songs
that accompanied these dances were as interest
ing the poses. They were beautiful-some Of
tho taro in the valleys, the rain, the mist, the
rainbow the planting and the gathering, and
all occupations of sea and land These descrp-
tive songs were beautifully illustrated by plas-
the limbs OF the trees was typfed by the
waving arms But with the whites came a
change The early whites did not understand
the poetic words-they saw only the sinuous
bare, brown bodies. Full of evil thoughts, they
read into the harmless dance all that sin
ful. They talked and laughed and pointed and
jeered, and the Hawaiians became self-conscious
for the first time Because Of the demand OF
mostly forgotten and driven out of their true
proportion. Only the abdominal muscle move
nents were cultivated. The beautiful songs OF
sea and valley are scarcely heard now. The
dance became degrading spectacle and was
forbidden by law, with the usual result Of de-

the ololi singers gathered in force and sang the
deeds Of the royal house OF Keawe-a- Heulu
under the great banyan tree that casts it's shade
the house Of Ainahau Cool Place., where
Kaiulani lived But even on this most solemn
occasion there were not nearly many olioi
women as on that night in the summer of 1898
when Liliuokalani returned to the islands, and
when the pier resounded at dead of night with
the weird, mysterious carollings Of the women
gathered to welcome her.
These ools were sung at all meetings and
partings, at all weddings, births and deaths
and at any great feast. Before long the little
Hawaiians will be learning their history from
books, which may neglect to say how the an
cestors came from Kahki in their canoes may
forget to tell the prowess and strength Of the
great Aings, for there were giants in those days,

INNOCENT PROCEEDINGS misunderstood AID
roaDIDDEN BY THE MISSIONARIES.
Honolulu, March 2S.
Nothing is so fatal to the naturalness OF pee
pie . d; 20 be scrutinlzed, even by friendly stran-
gers especially when those strangers consider
themselves a superior race. To be looked over
extraordinarily, to be regarded as spectacle not
to be taken seriously. and to be made the OBJ
Iect OF frank curiosity on the part of those peo-
plc who ruin the globe by trottng on it is death
to national individuality. No unique natonai
custom, however dear to the heart of people
can long survive this inquistorial process IL
Invariably breeds self consciousness, which has
cors-5 peasant costumes TO disappear in the
mo,.-:ravelled countries Of Europe, and se1ds
artists TO Brittany 90 find peasant people ap-
prop lately sarbed.
The same process is going on with extreme
rapiGity in the Hawaiian Islands. Eighty years
nco these islands of the sea were almost un-
krown-totally unvisited. With every new hne
OF steamers more tourists pour in, with the re-
Bult that in these few years the national cos
tune las entirely disappeared, and manners are
undergoing rapid change. Only the hula girls
s.i:l wear the national dress-the pau or skirt
OF lapa cloth, beaten from the bark of certain
trees. with the floral lcis around the neck and
hair and bracelets OF dogs teeth or flowers about
the ankles. once in while on the lee shore OF
Hawaii you will find fishermen who dive below
the surface OF The water for fish, and who Still
appear in the malo, or breechcloth, which was
the national, primitive dress for men. But for
these exceptions every one is apDarelled in the
Hitting trousers and the bagke holoku. or
Mother Hubbard.
DEEPER INWARD CHANGES.
And the change in dress is but the outward
and visible sign Of inward, invisible change
which goes deeper than clothes and is making
different men and women of the tractable Ha
waiians The first national custom Of these
gentle islanders which met with foul play
New-York tribune., 1899-04-16

which has been handed down with such mar
vellous accuracy by af-priestly caste. Some
times these history-stories have been compared
stories handed down eight or ten centuries
through perfectly independent sources-and the
tales have been found to agree exactly.
But the Caucasian regards these olioli singers
as hired howlers He laughs when they raise
their plaintive vOices-he does not understand
what they say, and the hOary antiquity Of their
tales does not appeal to him. The young Ha-
waiians very initiative, very sensitive, do not
feel proud Of the fact that there Is an olioli
singer in the family and refuse to take lessons
in the dying art. Instead OF learning 10 sing
history they learn to jiggle the typewriter, which
may be more useful, but Is lacking IN pictur-
esqueness.
II is the same with the old priestcraft OF the
islands The kahunas, as the priests were
called were a caste by themselves educated
and set apart like the sons OF Aaron. They
were wizard, doctor, faith-heaer and )ugger
and even yet the Hawaans have great faith In
them and never fail to call them In, together
with a white doctor, in cases OF Illness Oid
supcrstitions die hard, and there are still cases
of praying to death, but the administrators OF
the white mans law prosecute the kahunas Wig
orously. and most OF those in cities are arrant
fakirs. while the genuine have been hunted on
into the most remote parts Of the islands The
old conjuring and philtering and doctoring are
falling into reproach, and the kahunas are rap
idlv diving out while no more are raised to take
their places.
OLD RITES ABOLISHED.
In the oden days there were elaborate Gus
toms connected with the building OF a grass
pIa ting
of crops There were many tabus peculiar to
fishermen. Under the guise OF religion certain
excellent game laws were imposed upon the
people Certain fish were tabu for six months
al a time. ard certain other fish at breeding
times Under the tabu IL was death to touch
fish. and the result was that the waters were al
ways teeming and there never a dearth OF
this most important food staple Until the
white man came. and occasionally still In secret
fishermen offered prayers to their kuulas be-
fore every excursion. new net or spear or rod
could not be used without a certain amount Of
prayer or sacrifice Many gods had to be pro-
pitiated, especially the shark god. Occasionally
these sacrifices. no longer human, are still made.
and the Hawaiian fishermen say that certain
fish are mot good" at certain times of the year,
which always oddly enough, coincide with the
old tabu times The Chinese fishermen have no
such scruples, and fish not safe at any
from the nets Of the predatory and merce-
nary Oriental
With the disappearance of the grass house
(wood and corrugated iron having as a
substitute for the picturesque native habitation)
has come the disappearance Of the native Gus
tom Of housewarming. In the old days. and
even now in the country when no Caucasians are
looking on the advice of kiokilo, or diviner, had

Marriage L.. Halter.

Among ignorant people Of English
birth it is fully believed that a wife
bought with money or goods is legally
married il the purchaser leads her all
the way home by halter.
Mr.. Barring Gould, the English anti
quarian, tells of village poet known
to him who bought wife for half
crown and led her IL miles to his cot
tage.
The squire and the rector protested
to the village poet that he was not
legally welded.
"Why, yes be-" he replied. "I'll
take my Bible oath l never once took
the halter of till she'd crossed the door
sill and the door was shut"
The latest instances Of such wife sales
occurred in 1858 and 1859, when wom-
en- were sold in Little Horton and in
Dudley. In these cases blue ribbon
took the place of the straw halter.
But, gentle ladies, the symbolic idea
