AMONG KALAKAUA’S Where PALACE. the Profligate Ruler of the waiian Islands Lives. The royal palace—called “Isalani” —occupies a square of about five hun­ dred feet in the center of the city, and is surrounded by a high wall formed of stone and cement. Just outside of the palace wall are the barracks for the handfull of native troops, of which His Royal Highness can boast. The palace itself is a largo and imposing structure, two stories high. It is a very handsome building. The throne­ room is a large and beautifully-finished apartment. The throne for His Majes­ ty and the Queen is on a raised dais at one end of the apartment. The wood­ work is of koa or native wood, The hangings are of red damask, The state dining-room is also very large and olegant. It is hung with portraits of foreign sovereigns, notably one of Louis l'hillippe. The state recep­ tion - room is hung with blue, gaudy colors predominating through­ out the palace. Opposite one of the gates in the palace wall 1 b located the government building. This-is a hand­ some stone structure. In front of this stands a bronzo statue of Kumehainoha I., founder of the kingdom. Ho was King of one of the islands and con» quered all the other Kings and gath­ ered the Hawaiian group into one dominion. Tho presont King, Kalakaua—mean­ ing Day of Battle—is not of Kame- hamcha descent, but was elected to the throne in default of an heir apparent, none having been named by the sov­ ereign. He is not a man who com­ mands the respect of the better classes of people on his islands. Ho is much more at homo with his native Bingers and dancers at Kailua than in man­ aging and conducting governmental affairs ut Honolulu. In June last his actions became so intolerable that the leading citizens of Honolulu inau­ gurated a bloodless revolution forcing the King to dismiss tho entiro cabinet and appoint citizens whom they named, and also to sign a new constitution virt­ ually modeled upon that of the United States. The Queen is of good domoanor and possesses more or less dignity. Thoy have no children, and their ap­ parent is Mrs. J. O. Dominis, wife of the Governor of tho island. She is the King's sister. Her husband is whito, color not counting for much in that country. Tho royal Ilawuiin band, in the employ of tho govern merit, is ono I of tho attractions. It Is composed of thirty-three members, all natives. They play as well as any first-class Dand in this country. They perform every Monday morning in the palace square and in tho public squares three limes a week, 'f’lieir singing of native Bongs is a notable fcaturo of their per­ formances. The distances in Honolulu being great, many livery carriages aro in use. They aro two-seated and are all Rilke, one horse being used in drawing thorn. I think Honolulu uses as many livery carriages as doos Detroit. Tho Chinese problem is coming to tho front Ln the Sandwich Islands as well as elso- whero. In Honolulu whole streets are occupied by the Chineso. They work at tho laundry business in part and are also waiters and servants, Many small shops in all tho islands aro run by Chinese. Almost all the pel is made by them, and the whito pel Hag is »oen everywhere. 1’oiP Oh, tho taro is a vegetable, gray in color and about tho size of our boot. Raw it is unlit for food, but baked it forms a largo proportion of the food of the islands. It is cooked and pounded with iron mallets. It is thon mixed with water until it assumes about the consistency of starch, when it is put into barrels and allowed to ferment for about twenty-four hours, ft has then acquired an acid tasto, and Is thon to the native islander what riee Is to the Chinaman. The government of tho Sandwich Islands now may bo said to bo in the hands of the Missionary party. The descendants of tho old missionaries form a very important part of the financial and intellectual strength of tho islands.— Detroit Free Dress. •- |rvr . K ’» i NEW YORK’S HOTELS. MUTES. CurlouM Superstitious and Belief« Existing Aiucug the Natives of Alaska. The Capital Invested in the t’aravanxerle* of the American Metropolis. The amount of money invested in ‘ hotel property in New York is vari­ ously estimated, but according to a fair allowance the land and buildings are worth $15,000,000 — that is, an averaged valuation of each piece of property at $241,935.50. Of course this amount would lie largely in excess of the value of more than half of the regular hotels within the city limits, but it is also away below the just as­ sessment of nearly twenty of the big hotels now in business. The furniture in the hotels is estimated as having a value of $2,000,000, with an average value of $32,259. Several of the large houses have expended $250,000 on their interior docorations, and three or four even more than this. All of these estimates are placed exceedingly low, yet they show that simply to build and furnish the good hotels it required an outlay of $17,000,000. This, after all, is an exceedingly small in­ vestment when compared with the amount of money required to accim- modate the guests. At the legal rate of interest this in­ vestment should return $850,000 a year. It does all this and much more. The total income of the number of hotels mentioned is estimated by good au­ thorities as $14,750,000 a year. How much of this is profit is figured out in this way: Thore are accommodations for nearly 30,000 person in the hotels rated as respectable. There are at leust two-thirds that number *f per­ sons who aro counted upon as regular patrons. It costs a hotel keeper on the average about $1.25 a day to feed and attend to the needs of one guest. This nmount on an avorage patronage of 20,000 would represent an outlay of $25,000 a day, or $9,025,000 a year. When this is added to tho interest on the orginal investment of $17,000,000, it brings the total yearly cost, count­ ing t’ e employment of servants,which represents tin outlay of $1,362,000 more up to the respectable total of $11,237,- 000. This deducted from the estimated total receipts gives $3,513,000 as the profits to be divided between sixty-two establishments, and would be an ex­ cellent chance for capitalists to go right to work and pile up more capital with tho rapidity and persistency of the everlasting snow-ball. Such profits would easily explain the reasons for the great number of big new hotels in contemplation oralready under way. But, unfortunately, when the noses of the guests of a big New York hotel are counted, they don’t always mean a weekly or monthly set­ tlement of the bill. The number of "hotel beats,” despite all the precau­ tions taken to dotoct them and to avoid giving them credit, is a matter which is exceedingly grave to the hotel pro­ prietors. There are at least a thou­ sand persons who practically live upon tho hotel proprietors of this city. Not the same ones all the while, of course, but tho loss represents the loss of the board of that number of individuals. This at once makes an inroad into the big profit of $1,095,000 at on average of three dollars a day. Then come the breakages in dishes and the invest­ ment in now cutlery, which in a prop­ erly managed houso amounts at the average to $5,000 a year. This draws nnothor $310,000 from tho profit, and then come tho thousand and one other items of expenditure—gas, coal, dam- ago to furniture, and the like which run up to the big total of $1,026,000 a year, and again paro tho profit down, leaving it in the neighborhood of $1,- 082,(XX) to be divided among the sixty- two hotels, giving each an average profit, subject to still further drains, of $17,453. When ono considers that this profit has to bo divided in most cases among three or four partners, the little hotels are not coinors of money, and tho student of finance as applied to hotel keeping continues to wonder why it is that big hotels are still going up iq various parts of the metropolis.— N. Y. Times. Graceful Princessc Gowns. THE A belief in the presence of evil spirits constitutes the only religious idea among the Mutes. There are among them individuals called toonrachs, cor­ responding to tlie shaman of the Sibe­ rian tribes. If a person is sick before the whaling season commences, or a child is born before going on a journey or building a house, the services of the shaman is called into requisition. Tho modus operandi in every ease is simi­ lar. The shaman, after a long spell of silence, suddenly begins to roll his eyes, convulsive shakes prevade his frame, anil he gives utterance to vari­ ous groans and sighs intermingled with sentences pertaining to the subject ujHin which he is engaged. During the time of his performance a continuous beating upon a drum is kept up. Toward the end paroxysms, or rather convulsions of exultation similar to what havo been described as prevailing at tlie tinale of a shaker meeting, are exhibited by the shaman. Froth exudes from his mouth, his eyes glare and roll, and his whole frame is con­ torted. Perspiration pours from hi# face, and lie is entirely exhausted. The l«/#d invocations to the evil spirits to vacate the b<>4^ of the sick person or to drive them away from the sea to ena­ ble tiie whales or heals to arrive, be­ come gradually subdued, dying away into incoherent mutterings. Then after awhile he regains his composure, complacently smokes his pipe, and re­ ceives his pay for services performed. If the operation is performed over a sick person and recovery does not en­ sue the payment made is returned, a custom that might be advantageously adopted among civilized persons. Some curious superstitions are also to be noted. If a person is sick, iron tools, such as axes or knives, can not be used in the house. Upon a man’s grave his sled is placed, but broken to pieces, and his kyack meets similar usage. Furs, spears and rifles are also deposited, while if the individual has killed many whales tlie long jawbones of the balaena arc placed in an upright position to mark tlie spot. Those peo­ ple bury their dead upon the ground, raising a number of pieces of driftwood in the shape of a tent over the remains. Owing to this insecure mode of burial the wood soon falls down ami affords entrances to foxes and dogs, which make havoc witli the body. But little regard is paid to the burial places, although these Mutes are very much incensed whenever attempts are made to take away any skulls or bones from the graveyards. They also make a long detour in passing the resting place of the dead, and will on no account touch any tiling once deposited at a burial. A woman’s grave has her clothing, sewing gear and various household utensils placed upon it. One of the most peculiar acts I heard of took place in the month of May, during the whaling season, at Point Hope. A woman died and her body was carried out to tlie edge of tho ice. Three old women cut her heart out, wrapped it in a covering of seal intestines and threw it into the sea through a hole in tho floe. This was done in order to bring good ji luck to the patch.—Alaska Cor. San Francisco Chronicle. QUEER CUSTOMS. interesting Facts Concerning November Marriages In Holland, the twelve months in the year No­ vember is reckoned in certain villages in Holland to lie by far the most im­ portant The four Sundays of the month are known respectively ns Re­ view Sunday, Decision Sunday, Pur­ chase Sunday, and Possession Sunday, names which sufficiently explain the purposes to which each Is put by the young people. On t he first Thursday in November all the villagers turn out in their best attire to be present at the village fair and watch tho respective couples perforin the country dance, which is the invariable opening of such events. On Review Sunday the unmar­ ried girls and young men, after the morning service, walk up and down staring at one another to their hearts' content. Having made up their ininds whom to select on the following Sun­ day, the youths, with the politest bows imaginable, salute the fair ones, and judge from the way in which theircour- tesy is responded to whether success or defeat is to be their lot. The third Sunday is devoted to the less romantic task of obtaining the consent of the parents and arranging in busiucss-like fashion tlie details of the marriage set­ tlement. The stem hearts of those in authority having been satisfactorily sub­ dued, the following week the parson is busy at. marrying; but not until Posses­ sion Sunday comes round are the happy betrothed permitted more than an affec­ tionate gaze, or at most a tender squeeze of llie hand.— E.

The ability to express one’s thoughts in a concise, intelligible and effective manner, is a valuable accomplishment, but the rhetorical art of making a spread- eagle speech with one grain of sense to ten of superficial bombast, can almost be rated as a vice. Many a mau has elevated himself to a re­ sponsible position of public tiust with no fitness for the proper ' . But ho could discharge of his __ duties. make a nice speech, he could shake up his auditors with some side-splitting anecdote, or melt them to tears by in­ citing some pathetic incident. Noone stopped to inquire whether in the man­ agement of his own affairs he was a success or a failure. Nobody carefully considered whether the ideas he ad­ vanced were sensible or practical. He could sway an audience and that was considered a conclusive test of his ability, fen’t this a fair presentation of the manner in which wo select men to administor our public affairs? A man of admitted executive ability who has made a success of his own business, but has no rhetorical gifts, will stand no show against the mealy-mouthed candi­ date who has failed in every thing he has tried to do. but who can talk. Talk is cheap, is it? Look over the records of Congress and see what it costs the country to print and publish the useless talk, talk, talk that hinders useful legislation and serves no better purpose than to advance the personal interests of ambitious politicians. The country has to pay for all this talk, at abig round price, too, but the man who has been sent to Congress has to furnish his constituents some evidence of his great value, and nothing is more con­ clusive than a long-winded speech.
