A RARE BUCKLE.

TERMINAL ISLAND, Cal, July TO-
Unusual excitement was caused at the
island Saturday by the arrival of sew
eral Japanese divers from Whites Point
They had been summoned TO search for
a rare ornament, the property of Mrs.
Martin Smith, which had been dropped
from the end of the Brighton Beach
wharf while the lady and friends were
fishing. The ornament is in the form
of belt buckle, made of gold military
buttons, that were secured by Mrs
Smith in the course of a long stay in
Hawaii. The buttons are representa-
tive of various periods in the official
life of the island, they having been
worn by officers under King Kalakaua
and other rulers. There is probably not
in existence another buckle anything
like this, and it was of particular value
to the owner on account of It's associa-
tons
For a long time the divers were at
work and one of them went down sew
eral times but the lost article could not
be found and is still at the bottom of
the sea- Much interest in the search
was shown by the people at the island
and a large crowd gathered to watch
the work of the divers, which, in itself
was well worth seeing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith are here for the
season, having come down from Los
Angeles several weeks ago and taken
the Holabird cottage at Brighton
Beach.

The Local Liar.

Holman F. Day in his Dexter cen
tenniaI poem celebrated the verbal
achievements of the local liar-that is
to say, the ancient inhabitant prone to
exaggerate the events of an earlier day,
when men could run faster, jump high
er, lift more, do bigger days work
and were physically superior in all ways
to modern Weaklings; when the winters
were colder, the summers hotter, the
fish bigger and more hungry, bears and
painters more numerous and sassy
when in short everything was on a
larger and more generous scale than
in these degenerate days. Almost every
neighborhood has had one of these
worthless, and it seems that Dexter is
no exception. He was Steve Haines,
and. one of his exploits, as related by
the poet, was to hang to the caves of
the barn with his teeth when the ladder
slipped, having at the time bunch of
shingles under each arm and hanging
there upwards of two hours until a
neighbor happened along and rescued
him from the awkward and perilous
position; and even then he had to open
his mouth and yell to attract the neigh
boris attention, regalning his hold on
the barn with incredible quickness.
The same legend, however, with few
changes of detail, is common to other
localities. Steve Haines, like Homer,
is claimed by seven cities, and in at
least one of them he not only hung to
the roof by his teeth, but when feeling
well he was wont to take three punches
of shingles, toss them over the barn one
after another and run around and catch
them as they came down ON the other
side. The vivid imaginations of Steve
and his like, and their faculty for draw
ing the long bow, did much to soften the
asperities of rural life "before the

turesque vegetation Of the East. After
an hours easy amble, we emerged from
a wide grove of date-palms into the
most sudden transformation scene it is
possible to conceive. Before us stretch
ed the great grey desert, far as the. eye
could see; the pleasant road we had
traversed being instantly lost in its
waves, like path to the shore of the
ocean. A caravan of camels which had
just arrived from voyage across the
Sahara left no trace of their route, nor
track of foot prints behind, for the
lightest breath of air at once obliter-
ates every vestige of a pathway. Like
ancient mariners of the ocean, travellers
on that sea of sand must look to the
sun and stars for a guide.
Built on the verge of the desert is a
small Marabout mosque, it's tiny dome
and slender minaret being the first OBJ
Ject to greet the returning caravan, and
the last to bid farewell to the outward
bound. In it the faithful Musselman
makes his prayers to Allah before set
ting out on the long journey; and on re-
turning his first act is to render thanks
in the little chapel. The dervishes have
great influence, here as else where
among Mahomet's followers, and i'm
pose upon the poor camel-drivers ex-
pensive charms and amulets, to guard
them against the Evil Eye and other
dangers of the desert.
At the time of our visit caravan
had just finished unloading for the
night and the tired camels, relieved of
their burdens, had thrown themselves
upon the sand. The savage looking
drivers, wrapped in capacious bernouses
of camels-hair, their heads shrouded in
cowls of the same, sat in a circle, their
long guns by their Sides A few leop-
ard-skins were spread near by, evident
ly for beds, and dinner was being dis
tributed-of co arse bread, dried figs
and jar of water. Poor fellowsl This
was indeed glimpse Of how portion
of "the other half lives.
We plunged into the desert for a
mile or two, just to see what it would
be like; and found that very short
experience was sufficient to fully satisfy
ones curiosity. Deeper and deeper
grew the sand, until in five minutes our
horses were floundering in it above the
knees. But the sight was something to
linger in memory. Not cloud in the
brassy sky-the afternoon sun, like a
ball of fire, beating upon the tawny
waste without let or hindrance. Not a
sound, not sign of life-nothing but
blazing sky and sand

Holiday immortality.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
The irrepressible parent has been making
complaint of the length of the board school
holidays. II is argued that the longer the
holidays continue the worse becomes the
morality of the boy. The first week he Is
an admirable citizen, the second he plays
IN the streets, the third he picks up un-
considered trifles, and in the fourth-worst
stage of all-he is found out. Such fl is
argued, is the progress Of the boy who has
been deprived of the daily pleasure of going
to school. 1t is curious that at the same
time as this complaint has been raised two
unsolicited testimonials should be pub
lished to the great moral value of other
holidays. Never before has the country
holiday system so f1ourished. The cottaget
hosts are said to have so greatly delighted
In their charges that in many cases they
have asked leave to keep them a few days
longer at their own expense. The experf-
ence of the parents is in this case corrobos
rative, and there seems to be some conseu4
sus of opinion that the character of the
children has become more moral by ao-
quafntance with genuine nature. These
differences Of opinion on the moral value OF
holidays are not difficult to reconcile. It Ia
thoroughly bad thing to be idle in town,
and 1t is a thoroughly good thing to be idle
in the country, and the moral is that as
many children as possible should be sent
to the country for their idle period.
