THE MILLION DOLLAR MANTLE.
A Prlcelc (iarment Ttxat Has Envel
oped tha Forms of Hawaiian Kings.
A valuable collection of Hawaiian
feather war cloaks and capes is on ex
hibition at the National museum. One
of the cloaks, the largest ' in the collec
tion, is of immense value. It is known
as the "million dollar mantle." It once
enveloped the kingly form of Keknaska
lian, one of the highest chiefs of the
Sandwich islands, in whose reign it was
completed nearly a hundred years after it
was begun. Upon the death of Ke
knaskalian, who fell in battle, it be
came the property of his enemy. King
Kamehameha HI, by whom it was pre
sented to Captain J. EL Aulick of the
United States navy.
The foundation of this most remark
able cloak is a' network of olona or "na
tive hemp," and to it are attached by
threads of the same material feathers of
native birds found only in the Hawaiian
islands. The entire body of the mantle
is made np of small red and yellow
feathers, the latter ones being obtained
from the Oo or Uho (Moo nobilis), a
bird extremely rare and possessing but
one or two of these yellow feathers
' which are found under the wings. This
bird is captured alive by means of the
"lime trap," and when deprived of the
precious feathers is set at liberty. Great
prize is put on these feathers by the
crown. They are used as money in buy
ing and selling, and are accepted by the
government in payment of taxes. The
red feathers are obtained from the most
abundant bird of the islands, the Dre
' ponis coccinea.
In the "million dollar mantle" the
feathers are placed so as to overlap, thus
giving a smooth surface to the exterior
of the cloak. The upper and lateral
borders of the mantle are decorated with
alternate tufts of red, yellow and black
feathers, but only on the margin are the
block feathers used, which are obtained
from the Uho. In the center of the mantle
is a large crescent shaped figure of yel
low feathers, surrounded by a belt of red,
which blends in the middle of the belt
on either side with a succeeding stripe of
red, the outer margins of which are di
vided by two wedge shaped processes
of yellow.
From this last named figure on either
side to the circumferences are alternate
parallel stripes of yellow and red about
tux inches broad. The upper circum
ference of the cloak, ' where it fastens
about the neck, is about twenty inches,
the lower one being seven or seven and
a half feet, thus forming a cloak capable
of amply enveloping a very large per
son. The mantle is protected by a hand
some case and its beauty advantageously
displayed by a background of blue vel
vet There are two other capes in the col
lection, very much smaller, and two
boas. The larger of the capes ia little
more than a collar, its upper and lower
circumferences being but seventeen and
sixty-six inches, respectively. The entire
body is of yellow feathers, having but
two small crescents of red in the center.
The remaining cape, virtually a red
one, has only two email designs of yel
low feathers and consequently is much
less valuable. 1
The boas made from the feathers of
the Uho are about two feet in length,
and fasten about the neck with hempen
cords.
The feather garments were at one
tame considered the greatest possessions
of the crown, but the costumes of Eu
ropean and American manufacture have
superseded them, and they are no longer
manufactured on the islands. Wash

Practical Uses or Wood.
Witch hazel is a large and curious for-
est shrub. The small branches were
formerly used for "divining rods." and
an extract from it ia valued in medical
practice. The wood of the American
aspen or white poplar is used in the
manufacture of paper. Home and
Farm.
At the Chicago university there will
be four quarters, each consisting of two
terms six weeks in each term. A stu
dent will be allowed to choose any two
terms in the year for bis vacation.
OREGON LIME
This iime is manufactured by The
Oregon Marble and Lime Company, near
Huntington, Oregon, and has earned the
reputation of being the strongest lime in
the market, and consequently, in addi
tion to making the best work is at an
equal price, the cheapest to the user.

Two Kinds of Courage.
In some of the everyday occurrences of
life women exhibit much more moral
courage than men. You can see that on
the "L" cars if you use your eyes. When
a man retains his seat while a woman
endeavors to maintain her balance by
hanging to a strap in front of him, he
generally makes a pretense of not seeing
her.. . If he has a paper with him he will
appear to be absorbed in its pernsaL If
he cannot avail himself of that conven
ient screen, he will pretend to be en
gaged in such deep meditation as to be
oblivious to all that is going on around
him. In one way or another he will be
tray the fact that his conscience is mak
ing a coward of him and that be is try
ing to cheat it.
It is very different with the average
woman. - Who that travels much in the
L" cars hasn't seen her often drop her
child into a seat that has just been va
cated, while women in various stages of
weariness are standing up all around
her? She has paid no fare for the child;
she could very well continue to hold it
in her lap; she knows that she is making
some woman stand ' who would other
wise "get a seat. " But is she abashed?
Does she act as if she were ashamed of
herself?. Does she seek to avoid the
glances that are bestowed upon her by
Hiding ner race oenina a newspaper?
jNot a bit of it. bhe doean t let her con
science make a coward of her. She
looks the people about her square in the
eyes without flinching. She says, or
rather seems to say, "Well, I know that
you don't like it; but what are you go
ing to do about it?"
, If this isn't moral courage what would
you call it? New York Herald.

why it Is the only appropriate Sarsaparilla In
sick-headaches. It Is not only appropriate; it is
an absolute cure. After a course of it an occa
sional dose at intervals will forever after prevent
return. . '
Jno. M. Cox, of 735 Turk Street, San Francisco,
writes: " I have been troubled with attacks of
tick-headache for the last three years from one to
three times a week. Some time ago I bought two
bottles of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla and have
only had one attack since and that was on the
second day after I began using it."

this statute thousands of pounds of tea have
been burned because of their wholesale adul
teration. Tea, by the way, is one of the most notori
ously adulterated articles of commerce. Not
alone are the bright, shiny green teas artifi
cially colored, but thousands of pounds of
substitute for tea leaves are used to swell
the bulk of cheap tca; ash, sloe, and willow
leaves being those most commonly used.
Again, sweepings from tea warehouses are
colored and sold as tea. Even exhausted tea
leaves gathered from the tea-houses are kept,
dried, and made over and find their way into
