CHOOSING A CAPTAIN.

The Rough and Tumble custem OF che
Japaaese Risher1nen Of Hawaii.
Where several years ago tho ashing
for the supplying OF the Honolulu mar.
ket was done almost exclusively by the
natives Ia their canoes and few
Chlnamen, now the bulk OF the work Is
done by the Japanese, who are at II In
great numhera.
The boats which they use arc built
here after patterns used IN Japan, aud
once In while an Oriental steamer ar
rlving from the west brings an import
ed fishing boat. which the fishermen
think Is superior TO those of local manu-
facture, Tho boats are OF q peculiar
shape and are of different sizes, some
able to accommodate but three men,
which is an ordinary crew, aud others
are large enough for seven or eight
men.
Up to the time that the vessel Is
launched there Is no captain selected
Tor tho boat. The choosing OF this I'm
portant factor In every case Is left un'
I'll the boat Is In the water, II Is known
who the members OF the crew are. aud
from them the captain Is selected.
When the boat Is in the water and
moOred securely, tho members OF the
crew. who are generally the owners OF
the boat. strip themselves and get Into
the boat. Then the fun OF making tho
selection OF the commander begins.
There Is no voting or drawing OF lots
to settle the matter, At a given signal
from ono OF the crowd on shore, who
are watching, tho mon In the boat be-
gin with all their might TO try TO throw
each other out into the water Each
man is against the other, and 80 tho
struggle, as usual thing, lasts u long
time and Is remarkably exciting. All
the time the play goes on the friends
Of the contestants yell words of cheer
to the struggling men In the boat and
throw buckets OF water on them and
into the boat, seemingly with the Idea
OF making the battle-ground more slip
perry as well as refreshing to the men
at work. As soon as man Is thrown
out Of the boat he must stay out but
may assist with water II he so desires.
The man who stays In the boat longest,
or rather who is able to put NIL the
others out OF the boat. has by HIS Prov
ess shown himself competent to he cap

applause and showered with congratu'
latlons ut the termination OF the scutlie'

rica, a letter was received at the Ma.

many years he was stationed as a

between the invading foreigners on
one side and a reactionary court on the
other, and it was his fate to be froWn-
ed upon and smiled upon by the latter
in turn.
Through his contact with foreigners
Ii became impressed with the adVan-
tages of western methods and these ne
introduced in his own province OF Pe-
chilli. To do so he had to run counter
to the rooted customs of centuries and
often his work was retarded. AS grand
secretary of the empire, which he be-
came in 1875, he was the negOtator
of treaties with foreign nations and
thus his name became well known In
all civilized countries having CONNER.
ciaI relations with China. LIS work
was indefatigable. He introduced the
telegraph and the railroad into China'
founded military and naval academy,
created a navy, established arsenals,
built forts and gave to the empire
wonderful impetus.
And then came the war with Japan,
which proved the rottenness of Chi
nese methods. The unwieldy giant
was whipped, both army and navy, ow-
ing to the ignorance Of the Chinese,
being practically worthless. Ii became
the scapegoat of that war, which he
neither counseled nor countenanced,
and suffered degradation by an ignor-
ant and stupid court on account Of it.
He negotiated the terms of peace, how
ever, and gained the best possible. He
was transferred to the obscure prov
inces of Kwang-Si and Kwang Tung
as viceroy, where he remained until
called to interpose his influence and
offices between the enraged Christian
world and those responsible for the
Boxer outrages. The subsequent nego-
tiations on behalf of the imperial
court were carried on by him.
Ii has been reckoned as one of the
wealthiest men In the world, but this
statement may be doubted. In this
country Ii will be long remembered
for his inquisitiVeness. He was an un-
firing and at times Impertinent ques-
toner. He was shreyd, cunning, sly,
diplomatic-in a word oriental. When
in Germany the Kaiser asked him,
'How do our women compare with
those in China"
"I really cannot TELL" said Ii, slyly,
fastening his eyes on the corsage of a
lady who was present. 1--WE never see
half as much of our women as you do
of yours"
Sharp answers such as this frequent
ly fell from the lips of the willy orient
al and these, together with his numer-
Gus questions, will long perpetuate an
interesting phase of his many-sided
character.

looked at the work, became satisfied
that it was genuine, and purchased It
for a large sum. But he had no more
than secured the work when he began
to grow suspicious.
His suspicious increasing, he decided
to stop over in Washington and sub
NIT his find to Professor William Fl.
Holmes, curator of the Department Of
Archaeology of the National museum.
This he did. Professor Holmes held
the codex up to his nose, and remarked
that it "smelled new" In short, the
story was this:
When a certain French archeologist
was in Mexico he employed as a
draughtsman the Mexican from whom
the duped archeologist secured the
cOdex. and during his service this Mex.
ican learned all about Aztec antiquar-
les. When his employer left the
draughtsman devoted himself to manu-
featuring bogue antiquities, his mas
terpiece being the fraudulent codex, for
even such it proved to be.
