Without inquiring whether any
games with cards, which resemble
those Of our times, we're in use among
the Greeks aud Romans, Father Menes-
trier, in his "Bibliotheque Curieuse,"
combining himself to Fyance, says that
it is only about 400 years since games
Of cards were first known.
This he demonstrates by a negative
argument, drawn from an ordinance of
Charles vi in 1891, against the use of
all such games as did not assist the
military science; and in which though
the forbidden games are enumerated.
there is no mention of cards.
The following year, however, is that
to which he gives their origin, as the
occasion of their being invented. 1t
was in 1892, wnen Charles vi became
d~isordered in his mind, the whole court
was employed in contriving every pos
sible method OF diverllng his melan-
choly.

UNSOLVED TRAGEDY.

WAILUKU, June 21.-On Tuesday
evening the body of an unknown Chi
naman was washed up on the beach
near McGregor's Landing beyond Ma
alaea Bay No wounds were found on
the body, and he had apparently been
dead about three days when discover
ed. coroner's inquest was held but
no clue was discovered as to his iden-
tity or the cause of drowning. A Chi
nese store keeper at Kihei states that
Chinese tailor has been missing from
kihei since Saturday night and he ex-
amined the remains which had been so
disfigured by the action of the waves
that he could not identify the man as
the missing tailor.

PLANT ANEsTHETICs.

A German chemist has prepared a
fluid that is said to have the power,
when injected into the tissue of plant,
near its roots, of anesthizing the plant.
AS result of this injection the plant
does not die, but stops growing, main
tanning its fresh, green appearance,
though its vitality is apparently sus-
pended. Changes in temperature seem
in no wise to affect the foliage, for the
plant blooms in the open as well as in
the most carefully constructed hot
house.

HILO POLITICIANS GLAD.
All Territorial officials in Hilo have
received notice this week from Cover
nor Dole to the effect that they must
not in any way mix in politics. The
boys over here are feeling rather good
about it as it gives them a pretty good
foundation for an excuse not to cOntri-
butte to the campaign fund. The pur-
port of the order is plain, but its pur-
pose is difficult to fathom. If the pres
ent Office holders must lay to and be
quiet there are so few on the outside
who are interested in the issues this
fall that the outlook is better than ever
for a lonesome campaign.-Hilo Tri-

The Staying Of the arctic whale is not

again in 1876, when 20 vessels, worth

where mis- stanch steam bark Bowhead
awaits his coming ere pushing through
the Golden Gate to nose her way in
quest Of whales Behring's straitward
and beyond. Capt. Cook goes to en-
gage in the ninth campaign of his IA
years of Arctic whaling life. With
him goes the sunnyfaced wife who
has shared with him on other voyages
all the rigors and monotony OF Arctic
winter life experienced while frozen in
on shipboard.
| Capt. Cook is one of the few men of
this generation who have been sue
cessful in this perilous and little un-
derstood pursuit Mrs. Cook is one of
the few white women who have pene-
trated to the very heart of the wilder
ness of foes and bergs lying within
the Arctic circle-the one, in fact, who

too, whose period of sojourn in that
land of desolation, darkness and dead
ly storms unquestionably exceeds that

Capt. Cook is only 45 years old, but
he has been a sailor for 2S years, for
he took ship at the age of H. and
was a master at the age of 10. In 1873,
at the age of %, he made his first whal-
ing trip, in the North Atlantic, as

Martin of Boston. In the autumn of
1879 he sailed as second mate of the
