GENERAL SUMMARY.

GENERAL SUMMARY.
During the past week the weather
has been generally partly cloudy, and
has continued warm in all portions of
the Group, daily temperatures averag-
ing only slightly higher than those of
the preceding week. The days have
been fairly sunny, but on account of
the frequent night rains minimum tenn
peratures have remained comparative
ly low.
Though in windward districts moder-
ately heavy rains have fallen, the pre-
cipitation of the past week, as compar-
ed with that OF the previous week, has
averaged considerably less in Hawaii
and Maui where only light scattering
showers have fallen in the lower levels
of leeward districts. The rainfall in
Oahu and Kauai shows a slight in
crease and has been quite evenly dis
tTibuted over the latter island. In GER
tain sections of leeward districts
throughout the Group, and i'm central
Maui, drought conditions are develop
ing, but as yet the supply of ditch wa
ter for irrigation purposes is generally
sufficient and pumping operations have
been resumed only I'm central Maui.
The following table shows the weekly
averages Of temperature and rainfall
for the principal islands and for the
GrOup:

Marriages of Mutes.

Statistics compiled by authorities
on the condition of the deaf and dumb
In this country present one significant
fact in regard to the matrimonial af-
fairs of that body of citizens II Is
revealed therein that while many
women deprived of the power of
speech have been sought in marriage
by men whose five senses were unim.
paired only few women whose
tongues were in good working order
have consented to tie themselves to
men who could not hear what was be-
ing said. Cynics find in these revela-
tions matter for many caustic dia-
tribes pertaining to the conversation
al and listening powers of the sexes.
Whether or not these sarcastic OBJ
servations contain an explanation Of
the comparative willingness e1d I'M
willingness of men and women to
marry mutes is question, but the
fact remains.

CHAPTER VII.

Three weeks later, and sullen
peace had fallen over Toulon. Jean
was still weak and emaciated from i'll
ness. From Greloire the boy had
heard-and with outspoken indigna-
tion-of General Bonaparte's depar-
ture, shortly after his own arrival at
the convent, which had been turned
into hospital
''He went away and left met Jean
exclaimed angrily. the color suffusing
his cheeks. Left me, when | was not
able to speak to him.
He left a letter with Pere Huot, and
a farewell message, which the good
father will doubtless give you when
he sees fit"
"Then why should not Pere Huot
have told me SO before?" demanded
Jean, half rising from his seat beside
the bed.
Easy, mon ami; sit still" said Gre
loire, calmly. "Do not get excited,
else | shall regret telling you any
. IllnS ABOUT the dudlT. we nave w
remember that you have been very
ill.," Tenderness showed in his tone,
and he gently touched the thin hand
resting on the coverlet.
Late in the afternoon of this same
day, Pere Huot, sitting with Jean in
the latter's room, had been informing
him of what had TRANSFERRED since the
morning Murier brought him to the
shelter and safety OF his present
abode.
He watched the boys face care
fully as he told him of Margots bur
jal, and of Bonaparte's many visits to
his bedside, where he lay tossing in
delirium: and the good priest re-
joiced within himself to see the look
of logged grief soften into one of sub
dued qualification.
my son, where is the box of pa.
pers Monsieur lie Baron, thy father,
Entrusted to Margot for safe keeping?''
"The box of papers, Pere Huot, the
boy repeated, as if trying to recall

my son"-coming close to him, and
laying caressing hand ON the wilful
head--"I beseech thee, try and harbor
kirdlier feelings and more Christian
like forgiveness for thy brother"
He left the room, closing the door
softly, and Jean sat staring out of the
window, though the suns rays now
stole down to touch his brow. But
after musing few seconds, he reused
himself with quick, nervous move
ment, and looked again at the letter.
A moment later he broke it's seal:
and the thin paper seemed to pulse
With his own heartbeats as he read
and re-read it's words:
Mon ami-mon cher ami De Soto
I am grieved to the heart that must
leave thee. But go | must, relieved
by the assurance that | leave thee in
loving hands, which must soon nurse
thee back to that health pray will
always be thine. Pere Huot will tell
thee of our plans for thy future. If |
have thy love, do as the good father
shall tell thee, and pray that we may
soon meet in happy days. Let Greloire
bring good news of thee, to rejoice the
heart of thy "Pizarro."
AS Jeans eyes fingered over the
final word, he seemed to see the smile,
half rallying- entirely tender, that was
the invariable accompaniment of their
playful naming Of one another. He
seemed to see it touch the firm lips,
which, with the pale, grave face, i'm
agination now brought wildly before
him.
All this faded away, and, with a
gulping sob, sounding like the cry of
lonely heart, the boy flung his head
upon his arms, and lay silent.

something. Il cannot say; do not
know"
Know not where it isl" exclaimed
the priest, with marked change OF
bearing and tone. How is this?
What was done with it?"
The good priest spoke urgently, al
most impatiently, leaning forward and
looking fixedly into the boys per-
picked face.
Burned, with the cottage" replied
Jean.
Know you not, my son, what this
box contained?" inquired Pere Huot,
looking the boy in the face and speak
ing sternly.
"Yes-some jewels and papers,
what of them?"
Those papers were the proof and
yindication of thy birthright," de-
clared the priest solemnly "Thy moth
ers marriage certificate was amongst
them; and the loss Of this may make
trouble for thee"
The boys eyes now turned from the
window to meet those Of Pere Huot.
did Margot tell thee, father, of all
that befell the last night we passed at
Languedoc?"
Eyes, my son; and | have waited for
fitting time to speak to thee of the
matter. General Bonaparte and my
self talked of it as well; and must
say that thou were cruelty and need
lessly angered and wounded. But |
was grieyed that thou shouldst have
been led to the act that SO nearly
made thee a murderer. AS to thy
brother, we must forgive the dead,
even more freely than the living; and
Etienne is now gone where he should
have thy forgiveness in full"
He paused, and Jean turned in his
chair to look at him questioningly.

Clouds of incense smoke drift up

the blood of the goats whose heads
have fallen under the sacrificial

as black and fierce as the Duke OF

and is carried to the river bank on
the backs of sixty bearers. The barge

continues. Shouts and songs and
iests are banded back and forth
until the echoes ring with the discord.
Finally the unwieldy image is toppled
into the water, and the long orgy is
brought to an end.

Such idolatrous scenes as this
leave an unpleasant impression ON
the mind Of the spectator. The bl4at-
ing goats struggling in the hands of
their CORY executioners, the uncainy
sounds of paganism and the shining
faces of the half-crazed fanatics
swarming around their gaudy idol,
make one wonder II the real reason
for midas misery and degradation
is not the disobedience of the divine
command: Thou shalt have none
other gods. but Ne. Thou shalt not
make to thyself any craven image
for | the Lord thy God as a
jealous God, and visit the sins of the
fathers upon the children, unto the
third and fourth generation of them
that hate me. Frederic ]. Haskin

II seems hard to believe that in this
civilized day there should exist any
where such preposterous absurdities
as are practiced in India in the name
of religion. Although England has
ruled here for more than a century
and the missionary societies have
spent upward of a hundred million
gold dollars in trying to make con-
verts to Christianity, the mass of the
people still adhere to the ridiculous
practices of the ancients We find
them worshiping snakes and monkeys
and held in awe by the false pre-
lenses of charlatans and sorcerers.
Although the message of the Nazar-
enc has gone afar. it has affected In
dia so little that the dead are still
river or left in towers for the vultures
to devour.
The sacrificial goat is tethered in
the temple yard as in the days of the
patriarchs, and the people are held in
subsection by the fear that the priests
will pronounce curses upon them sim
liar to that which the Scriptures tell
us Noah visited upon his son Ham.
Superstition is so rife that when a
Hindu starts to work in the morning,
if his path is crossed by cat or
snake or a jackal he considers it an
evil omen and is quite likely to post
pone the business until another day.
Laborers frequently return from the
field and put up their oxen for no
other reason than this.
Crazy Acts of votaries.
The belief that generosity and ply
steal ordeal are the means Of winning
the favor of the gods is so gen
eral that many worshipers give them
selves over to disgusting and ridicu-
lous acts Of fanaticism The forms
this religious frenzy takes are innu-
merable Sometimes a votary will
VOW to sit still in a chair for six
months, while another will measure
his length along the ground for miles
in token of his submission to some
particular idol There are others
who have held one arm in the air
over their heads for years, until the

Observing the Puja.

Observing the Puja.
The religious festivals called Pujas
are observed with a sentiment which
approaches raving ardor During the
time Of these demonstrations the en-
tire population refrains from work
and gives itself over to unmitigated
carousals. The program consists of
erecting an image of some particular
idol, to which offerings of every sort
are given and sacrifices of goats are
made.
After the image has been properly
feted on land, the jewellers form
procession on the bank of the river,
where an excursion on the water fol-
lows. After this the idol is dumped
overheard, thus passing theoretically
to paradise.
One of the popular deities Is Durga,
the ten-armed goddess, carrying in
her numerous hands as many differ
ent weapons, viz: sword, dagger,
lance, stiletto, saw, cleaver, knife,
boomerang, tomahawk and screw
driver. Durga is really number OF

them being son who Is war deity,

their hands, Some will fasten their
jaws together with wire and take no
food into the mouth except In liquid
form. Enthusiasts are often met who
have vowed to leave their hair UNI
touched for months. These present

shocks are one mass of filth and YER
min. Some vow to go naked in order
to show their devotion and there are
even instances where a misguided
fanatic has cut off half his tongue and
offered it TO an idol-all in the name
of religion.
