"a ROYAL FEATHER CLOAK.
KaIakaua Couldn't Wear 1t, and His
Groom DfsEraced 1t.

Groom D1sEraced 1t.
| When King Kalakaua of Hawaii WIS.,
tied Japan many years ago he was
very anxious TO exhibit to the japanese
his famous royal feather cloak. 1t
did not look well draped over the regu-
lar costume of the king, which was
based on European military models.
1t was out of the question to wear it
draped over brown cuticle, as was the
ancient fashion. Finally it was de-
cided to let Robert, one of his attend
ants, wear il. William y. Armstrong,
the kings attorney general, said: This
! additional service delighted Robert.
who now, according TO a confidential
statement made to his japanese at
tendant, was keeper of the royal stand
ard groom of the feather cloak and
valet in ordinary While in the i'm
perial car, on the way to Tokyo, the
kings suit had suddenly seen Robert,
sitting in state in the luggage car,
dressed in silk hat, white gloves and
with the gorgeous royal cloak hanging
over his shoulders, the tableau being
completed by a group of Japanese at
PENDANTS who We're standing before
him lost in admiration" But Robert
was scarcely equal to the dignity that
was his. In his capacity of valet he
preceded the party to the palace as
signed to them, and discovered there
abundance of wines and spirits, which
he consumed until they arrived. He
was found asleep in the kings bed
chamber with the silk hat far down
over his head and the gorgeous cloak
askew on bis shoulders. He was at
once depOsed from his office Of groom
of the feather cloak.'r

A Lesson In the Use of Simple Terms
In Letter Writing.
\ few months ago the son of a rail
way director was through his fathers
influence given a position of some i'm
pOrtance on a large railway. He was
fresh from Cambridge, and in the or
ders which he from time TO time issued
TO the men under him always made use
of the longest, most unusual words.
This habit led to some rather expen-
sive blunders, and, the matter coming
before the general manager, he wrote
the young official the following letter:
In promulgating your eSoteric cogi-
tatiOns and in articulating your super
fetal sentimentalitieS and amicable phil
Osophical or psychological observations
beware of platitudinOus pOnderosity.
Let your conversational communication
possess a clarified cOnciseness, a COM
pacted cOmprehensibleness, n cOales-
cent consistency and concatenated
coGency. Eschew all conglOmeration OF
flatulent garrulity. jejune babblement
and aSinine affectation. Let your eX-
tempOraneOus descantings and unpre-
meditated eXpatiatiOn have intelligibil-
ity and veracious yiTAcity, without rho
domontade or thrasonical bOmbaSt.
Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic pro-
fundity, ventriloquial verbosity and
vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double ell
tendre, prurient jocosity and pestifer-
Gus profanity, Obscurant or apparent.
In other words. talk plainly, briefly.
naturally, sensibly. purely and truth
fully. Don't put on airs; say what you
mean; mean what you say, ard don't
use big words"

hint and changed IFS styIe.-London

If it is still intact. alrs well. There is
no lettering in the neighborhOod, nor

The male may lose his mate, but he

A LOST ISLAND.
Old West Indian Legend That Dates
Back to COIumbus' Time.

Old West Indian Legend That Dates
Back to COIumbus' Time.
There is an old legend in the West
Indies which. has been handed down
from the time of Columbus to the eff
feet that somewhere among the numer-
GUS Gays of the Caribbean sea there
exists an island inha bited only by wo-
men.
The aboriginal Caribs and Ararwaks
found it inconvenient to have women
around in times of war. Usually when
tribes fairest maidens were carried
off So goes the story.
The deplorable possibility of losing
all the women of the tribe was averted,
however, by the prompt action of the
chiefs, who ordered all Of the remain
ing female element to this unknown
island in the Caribbean. According to
the legend, the place is copiously
watered by ideal streams, overshad-
owed by breadfruit, mango, plantain
and all the neccsSaries to life and
poetry. The husbands and lovers were
allowed to visit the island paradise not
more than twice a year in times OF
peace.
But it is further handed down that
all the men of the tribe were even
tually wiped out in an Indian war and
that all trace of the isle of women was
lost. According to Washington Irving,
even Columbus made vain efforts to

THE BUTTERFLY.
Some of the Extraordinary Gifts Of
This Silent Insect.

The extraordinary gifts Of the but
terfy race have always excited the
wonder not only of naturalists, but Of
the most ignorant observers-their ST
lent and unseen changes, the instinct
by which they distinguish their favor
lite plant food-as, for instance, even
among the scarcely differing species Of
the complex race OF asters, where they
show themselves, as Professor Asa
of u.s." their skill in dcpositinG their
eggs unerringly on or near the precise
plant on which the forthcoming cater
pillars are fitted to feed, although they
as butterflies have never tasted 1t. To
these should be added their luxurious
spread of wings, giving opportunities
for those likenesses and variations OF
color which protect them during the
few days OF their winged state; the
brief time when, if ever, their eggs
must be laid and the continuance OF
the race made sure. The whole realm
of animal "mimicry," as it is now term
ed, reaches its highest point in them
and leads to some extreme cases, as in
the fact that. while butterflies are or
dinarily homogeneous, there is yet one
species In Africa which has departed
30 widely from thus rule that the male
has not one mate only, but actually
three different wives, each so utterly
unlike him in appearance as to have
long been taken for wholly different
species.-T. w. Hisginson in Atlantic.
