Hawaii’s Animal Life.
The Hawaiian islands, as the result
' of recent exploration, have been found
to be richer in animal life than was
formerly‘supposed. As the result of a
year’s investigation by the British as-
‘sociation, through its committee, it has
been found that of birds there are sev-
enty-eight species, of which fifty-seven
are peculiar to this group. All the land
and fresh water shells are peculiar, and
of athousand species of insects, seven
' hundred are not found elsewhere. It
thus seems that these islands have by
no means been populated from the
. continent but have been centers of in-
dependent creation.

.dian police was secured, and while
A SCENE IN ANCIENT GREECE.
The ‘Great Annual Gathering at the
Olympian Games.
About the first of the Olympic month
war and battle-sound ceased through-
out the length and breadth of Hellas.
The distant roads which led to Olympia.
were thronged vn'th pilgrims bound on
a. journey almost as sacred as that of
the pilgrimage to Mecca by the devout
Mahommedan. As the distance les-
sened and thetime neared, the travelers
became more numerous,-andit seemed
as if Greece dispatched all her bra-vest
and str0ngest and noblest sons intothese
converging currents. On horseback
and muleback, on foot and in litter,
some carrying their simple luggage
upon their backs, some with elaborate
wagons containing splendid camp
equipage and the richest wines' and
foods guarded by a. retinue of servants,
they choked each route with an army of
teeming life. The five festival days were
a great national picnic, where almost
everything was enjoyed in the open air
under a. glorious midsummer sky. A
few of the distinguished visitors were
cared for in the temples; but a major-
ity, even of the wealthy, chose the free
life of their own tents.
The daily scene, one can fancy, was
rich with life and pictorial effect. One
of the fairest. of Greek valleys, with
snow-crowned heights in the back-
ground, its own bosom crowned with
the white-pilla-red beauty of a. hundred
temples and public edifices, is filled
with thousands of tents of every color,
like gigantic flowers. During the hours
when the visitors do not resort to the
stadium to thrill with the terrible
struggles of the runners or wrestlers
or boxers, or to watch the smoking
horses in the hippodrome, they amuse
themselves at the booths of the traders
and chapmen. For from all parts of
the civilized world merchants have
gathered to sell their wares, ranging
from the rarest jewels and most elab-
orate goldsmith work to simple ar-
ticles of daily use.
Olympia. was indeed the arena. of the
greatest public games of antiquity, for
we can scarcely call by this name the
cruelties of the Roman amphitheater;
busy and active fairs, a. “national ex~
position” under canvas, every four
years. . .
Mental enjoyment of the higher Sort
was not missing from the entertain-
ment. The leading tragedies were rep-
resented in one of the finest theaters of
Greece. Poets and historians came
here also to recite their new works,
and so to publish their fame to the
world. It is said that many of the
stirring odes of Pinda-r were made pub-
lic in this way, and that Herodotus, the
father of history, first read his delight-
ful story before the audience at an
Olympian festival.—G. T. Ferris, in
St. Nicholas.
SIMPLE. bAvAuES.
How They Buncoed a Whisky Pirate Out of
a Sloop Loaded with Liquor.
The Indians of the west coast of Van-
couver island have adopted a. novel and
decidedly effective method of dealing
'with white whisky pirates who fre-
quent their villages, as James Johnson,
of Victoria, formerly master of the
sealing schooner Kilmany, knows to
his cost. He had come to the conclu-
sion that there was big money for the
man who made a systematic tour of the
west coast with bottled samples of gin
and whisky. '
Accordingly, says the San Francisco
Examiner, he purchased a. small trad-
ing sloop, loaded her with a. cargo of
stimulants and sailed for Barclay sound
some time ago. There, for a. few days,
he did a rushing business retailing his
low-grade intoxicants at five to ten
dollars per bottle. The Indians knew
they . were being robbed and remon-
strated, but no reduction in the price
was made.
Then they held a council and a great
plan was evolved. The 'aid of the In-
the master of the sloop slumbcred he
was surrounded, made prisoner, hand-
cuffed and led in triumph to the vil-
lage. In vain he pleaded for release.
He was told he would be held until the
coming of the police patrol and'then
delivered to the officers for supplying
liquor to Indians. This meant a. fine of
at least two hundred dollars and the
confiscation of his craft, so he deter-
mined to suggest terms, and his offer
of the sloop and its cargo for his
freedom was quickly accepted. The
cargo was consumed in a single night
by the dusky diplomats in celebrating
the success of their Napoleonic stroke
of generalship.
Coming Down in the World.-
History furnishes but very few in-
stances of persons of exalted station
who have freely renounced their titles
and their fortunes to don the garb 6f a
simple workman. The duke of Ga].-
leira, lately deceased, is a. casein point.
At the death of his‘father, he firmly re-
fused to assume his title, but dressed
himself as a workingman and took' the
simple name of Ferrari. His mother
tried her utmost tomake him listen to
reason; all her arguments préved un-
availing. Persuadcd that it would be
foolish to bequeath the large family in-
heritance to such an eccentric char-
acter, she left the greater part of it to
charitable institutions. I

A full apron that will cover the en-
tire dress, and with large sleeves that
fit comfortably over dress sleeves, is a
garment indespensible to every woman.
This design is in three pieces, beside
the sleeve. Front is seamless, hanging
straight from the shoulders. The back
is in two pieces buttoning in centre.
The sleeves are the Bishop shape.
Plain or striped ginghams make most
serviceable aprons. Such fabrics as
lawn or nainsook may be used if some-
thing more dainty is desired.
Lounging or bath robes can be made
after this same design by cutting the
back in one piece, and cutting the front
