Ksito Field' * Wellington : From the
Australian colonlos I pulled across tlio
Pnulflu ocean to the Sandwich Islands.
Twenty-oiio days journey from Sydney ,
N. S. W. , landed mo at Honolulu the
residence of the qticon and the capital of
the islands. Tlio city I found occupied
by natives ) , Chinese , Portuguese , Ameri
cans nnd other nationalities. It contains ,
of all races , 30,000 Inhabitants. The
principal Inlands are Oahu , Mmii , Mole
knl , NUmu , Kiutai , Lanal and Hawaii.
They contain about 00,000 people , and
arc situated 2,100 mile" ) west of San
Frnnvittco. Located south of the tropic
line , they have n climate of perpetual
Bummer. No frosts or snows appear on
this group except on the high elevations
of the mountains , but on the higher of
the lofty craters the everlasting snows
arc found. The craters on Hawaii are
over 14,000 feet high , and present peaks
of scenic grandeur. The Islands are
green throughout the year , and rips
fruit can bo gathered and bouquets
plucked every day. The vegetation is
exceedingly beautiful and variegated ,
and charms the eye of all visitors with
Its novelty and diversity. The fruits
compriho oranges , lemons , mangoes ,
pineapples , bananas , limes , apples , ligs ,
] > cachcs and native apples , all of which
grow in great abundance.
In all the valleys and on every moun
tain slope can bo seen tropical fruits
growing wild in the forest. The cocoanut -
nut trees grow along the sea , and their
stately groves fringe almost every beach
with a line of green. The mountains are ,
njmostall of them , covered with trees ,
and rise up out of the ocean like pyra
mids of emerald.
Captain Cook called the group the
Sandwich islands. The natives called
the archipelago the Hawaiian islands ,
and they are most generally known to
the world by that name.
A hundred years ago the Islands wore
ruled by chiefs and petty kings. Each
island had a king of it own. Kamaham-
aha the great , called In Sandwich
island hlstorv tlio Napoleon of the Pa
cific , king of Hawaii , in 1705 , with his
army crowed the channels in a lleot of
canoes , conquered all tlio islands , and
brought them under one dominion. Ho
established what has been recognized
for years as ono ot the monarchies of the
world. His government was called the
Hawaiian Kingdom. The foreign powers
bent ministers and consuls to the court
at the Sandwich islands and the Kam-
almmahns long ruled the kingdom
through a succession of kings. "When
the Kamahamaha dyilasty became ex
tinct it devolved on the Hawaiian par
liament to choose a ruler. Kalakaua
was elected in 1874 through the influence
of an American missionary. Ho admin
istered his government in sympathy
with the American republic , and visited
the United States soon after ho ascended
the throne , effecting treaties with this
government for the admission of Haw
aiian sugars into American ports free of
ditty. His reign was of unexampled
prosperity , commercial and Industrial
activity. The resources of the kingdom
wore , developed , capital was attracted to
the islands , and the products quadrupled.
The production of sugar attained enor
mous proportions.
The king died two years ago in Cali
fornia when on a visit to this country to
have the Hawaiian treaties renewed
with this government.
Ills slstor , the Princess Liliu , suc
ceeded him to the Hawaiian throno.
Her afllliations are with the British em
pire , and her government has been ad
ministered in sympathy with Queen
Victoria's realm. The industries of the
kingdom are conducted by foreign capi
tal. " The labor is performed by Chinese.
The principal property holders and the
predominating foreign residents on the
islands are Americans. The property-
holders direct the votes of the kingdom ,
Tlio tcntimont of a majority of tlio
people on the islands has been for years
In favor of a republic. The queen re
ceived a salary of $15,000 n year , and the
form of a monarchy was extravagant and
expensive. As the foreign residents pay
the taxes , employ nnd influence the labor
vote , a parliament can be elected and in
structed to change the form of govern
ment from a monarchy to a miniature re
public with a president and congress , or
ask annexation to the United States.
DTho Sandwich islanders are Malays.
They came over the Pacific ocean , from
islands beyond , long ago. They have an
olive complexion , straight black hair
nnd lustrous brown eyes. Many have
pleasant faces and handsome forms.
They wear linen clothing all the year.
The ladles attire themselves in the
holoku. The warm , tropical climuto
makes loose , flowing gowns a necessity.
The young girls wear wreaths of wild
( lowers around their brows , and decorate
their bodies with chaplets of green
leaves. They do not use gold Jewelry ,
but ornament their tollot with the floral
beauty of the tropics. They are fond of
outdoor Hfo and live most of the time in
the groves. They sleep In hammocks
under the trees and have their dunces
nnd feasts in the grottoes of the forests.
They have little huts in which they
dwell during storms , but are rarely found
in their cottages except in rainy
weather. They build grass-thatched
houses and cover the roofs with rushes ,
nnd have wide porches in front of their
doors to kcop olT the heat of the sun.
They like to bo near the sea so they can
bathe in the waters of the ocean. They
become expert surfridors and can scale
the breakers in the wildest storms.
Like bcugulls they rldo the tossing
rollers , and smile at the ocean's maddest
winds. In ttiolr little boats they sail
over the blue bosom of the Pacific , and
cruise many miles away from their
island shores. Their little crafts cross
the channels from Island to island and
visit all the ports in the archipelago.
They are not afraid of the ocean soli
tudes , but are at homo on its watery
wastes , and find delight In Its oxpau&o of
blue. Their * ongs of the sea are very
sweet and poetic ; and during their voy
ages they sing their ocean melodies with
entrancing power. At night , " when the
sun has gene beneath the western waves ,
and tlio tropic moon has soared among
the twinkling stars and bathed the ocean
in floods of silver , the island navigators
from their little hulls , floating on the
moonlit sen , f-ond forth their Malayan
Bongs with charming fervor.
Those brown children of the sea have
soft and musical voices , and rival the
Italians hi the smoothness of their
melody. Next to listening to the
boom of the breakers falling on the
Island shores when night has mantled
the occnn and mountains with moon
beams , the tourist loves to hear the dis
tant harmonica of the bulling mariners
floating from the passing barks. The
iBluudora liuvo muiiy national songs , in
which th'-y recount their famous epochs
of history and embalm thodi'cds of their
WAiTlors and horoos. The story of their
lives and the hlstorj of their past is pro-
forved In songs , traditions ana mytholo
gies. Around their camp circles they
recount their myths nnd ti millions to
their cnildren , nnd record on their
memories the annals of their people. At
.tho a.mlvorfnrloa of their noted charac-
'tors they sing their national and
historic songs , and the young
are trained in a knowledge ) of
the vocal record of their race.
In after ycais the children sing the
tame bongs to the rising youth ; and as
the ages roll on the oceanic story of the
natives is perpetuated and the career of
the hca rOvers is handed down from gen
eration to generation. The islanders
arc also fond of dancing. They practice
dancing when they are young and when
they become grown thny are accom
plished in the art and dance with great
case and grace , moving their handsome
forms with captivating precision and
regularity.
On the sands of the seashores , under
the palm trees , they have their dances
where the breezes from the ocean fan
their sylvan ballrooms and the roar of
the surf dashing on the reefs nuikes
music to their fcsttvo joys , and the fire
flies Illuminate the twilight. They often
gather the nuts of the candle tree when
the moon Ls on Its wane and place the
nuts on the limbo of the shrubs
and around the roots of the trees ; they
Ignlto the oily nuts and the tiny lamps
burn with a brilliant glow and cast a
ruddy light over the ocean. The
dancers can bo seen , on moon
light nights , by the flames of these lit
tle nuts whirling around each other in
wnltx.t's under the shadows of the lofty
palms nnd beneath the boughs of the
wide-spreading banyans. Until late in
the night they enjoy their glco on the
sands , and after a bath in the surf seek
their hummocks among the trces.Morn- _
Ing finds them ready for their boats and
fora cruise over the waves or a voyage
to other island shores. They are monarchs -
archs of all they survey : the sea Is their
homo and all the islands their camping
ground. The trees belong to them , and
naturo's first temples , the groves , fur
nish them with airy and gorgeous pavil
ions. The forests are in perpetual bloom ,
and the flowers of eternal summer perfume -
fume their atmosphere. The glory of
- the trophies Is seen in the blossoms of
every bush , and floral beauty dangles In
every swaying \ inc. The woods are re
dolent with everlasting flowers , and the
rich breath of the orange trees mixes
with the fainter odors of the lemon
groves. The grottoes are hung with
viny curtains and the arbors festooned
with gaudy streamers. Apertures among
the boughs open windows into the blue
overhead and load in vistas out to the
lolling sea. The tree-walled caverns in
the island forest with their tropical
tapestry form boudoirs of fairy beuutv
that surpass palaces of marble.

A pleasing effect in homo decoration
now resorted to by ingenious women is
that of covering discolored or old-
fashioned wall paper with cheese cloth
in any of the pretty shades to bo found
at the shops. The material is drawn
tightly over the walls to bo tlecorated
and lacked hero and there , each breadth
lapping in a single plait. The pattern
of the wall paper underneath is thrown
out upon the cheese cloth , producing as
rich an olTeet as if costly damask or the
most elegant paper had been used , while
the actual expense is the merest trifle.
A novelty in lire screens is painted on
ground glass , which has a milky effect ,
with a design of ferns , dogwood blossoms
and sunflowers , framed in bamboo.
A rule sometimes used by decorators
when the woodwork in a room Is used as
a guide to the color scheme is to make
the walls what Is called a "holf-har-
mony. " That is , If the woodwork is
pine , which naturally has n yellow cast ,
muko the walls or shades of brown ; or ,
if of ash , a deep gray blue. Satin wood
and maple wood harmonize with ivory
yellow and mahogany with a silvery
green.
The newest forks and spoons are of
gold with Dresden china handles. They
are so pretty that the admiring house
wife finds an excuse for placing odd ones
upon her table in addition to putting
ono at every plato.
Bon bon dishes , filled with cream pep
permints , are now dinner adjuncts. If
the color scheme is pink , then pink pep
permints , and so on. An aid to diges
tion and a fashionable fad two things
certain to elevate the 'mint in popular
favor.
In selecting rope linen for embroidery
take a bit of the thread between the
thumb and fingers of both hands and rub
It gently ; then draw the lingers over it
lengthwise. If it splits or breaks or
frays with any degree of roughness , dis
card it as entirely worthless. Most of
the cheap threads are nothing more or
less than jute and are designed only to
hell. More tha ono person has tried ton
worl. linen and found It so lumpy and
rough and disagreeable looking that it
was given up In dispair , sometimes
without finishing the piece. First-class
linen may bo tested in the way described
and will remain almost entirely smooth.
The liner grades may bo scraped repeat
edly with the thumb null without produc
ing any roughness.

There Is n largo manufacturing es
tablishment in New York city in which
the oflico is separated from the repair
shop by a whole block. The two are
connected by what seems to bo a tele
phone , except that a jingle boll worked
by a string Is substituted for a crank and
gong. As a matter of fact there is no
electricity about this affair. The sound
conductor is merely a line , strong twine ,
knotted at o icli end into a little sheep
skin diaphragm that is stretched like a
drum head over a tin cylinder not so
largo as a man's list. Toy "telephones"
of a similar description are sold in the
streets , but this is perhaps the first in
stance of their adoption for practical
business purposes.

A shipper of nniQ in the country writes
asking Tin : UKK to warn nil hunters and
trappers against shipping to a certain Nuw
York commission house on the pround that
they are swindlers , Now York is-n loiifr
way off , and it Is not always easy to prow
that a llrm is swindling shippers. The best
way for NobrasUn shippers to nvold these
linns is to consign their KUUIO and produce to
some-p > od Omaha commission housothat will
sell it In Omaha or ship it wherever there
happens to be the best market.
The life of the commission man in Minne
apolis is not a happy life always. One of the
llrms of that city la threatened with prose
cution by a customer who claims ilmt the
imburger cticcso that ho purchased from
the firm " 8tlnUV" The legislature has
nmclo It an offence } to sail cigarettes In that
utato hero Is a Titmice for them to prohibit
the sale of llmtnrfscr with a strong nmcll.
Perhaps It woulkl ( better to follow the plan
proHisod | in the Missouri IrgiMaturo to solve
the buttcrlno cpuostion , color it pink.
It Is said that tl flcmon crop Is only three-
fourth ! ) of last swixiAi , says Ur.moh's , Hut
wo nro told that thW country tfds the better
grades nnd othl'rii7 are scattered mainly
through Europe. jt ( is about this tune , as
the almanacs si } * } , tiat the wise fruit men
begin to lay in the better goods for the
spring trade. ThW'lrfrger ' retailers commence
to stock up this in&itlh nnil next. lemons at
imiwrtcrs' sales tir bringing fully ns much
ns n year ago for' lto | fancy grades nnd wo
thlnlc in the Omaha market they are likely
to rule about where they are now till warm
weather Increases the demand.
It would bo well for shippers to remember
that the firm that quotes the highest prices
Is usually the llrm that sells at the lowest
point. When it commission firm begins to
claim that they have some mysterious way
of selling consignments several cents above
the market it is high time for the shipper to
bo cautious. Good reliable houses consider
that a man is doing well who gets the mar
ket nnd when some one claims that ho can
get more it is n sure sign that either ho does
not understand the business or else is trying
to Induce consignments through misrepre
sentation ,
The following from the Minneapolis Bul
letin would tndicato that the tirodueo com
mission dealers of that city are wide awake.
Why cannot sometintr of .ho same kind bo
undertaken in Omaha : "Tho commission
houses at the Central market have decided
to estabHsh n produce exchange , the object
of which is to create harmony In prices nnd
assist in making quotations from day to
day. They held their tlrst meeting yesterday
afternoon and there was a good deal of in
terest exhibited. The exchange Is open tonny
Jobber in the city , nnd there are no rules
governing transactions. It is merely n
scheme to bring buyer nnd seller together
nt a certain tlnio and place each day. At
the meeting this morning held at 10 o'clock ,
the ll.xed hour for holdliuftho daily meeting ,
! ! 0 cases of eggs were sold nt UOc. The ex
change is to be known as the Central Mar-
kul Produce exchange. "
The commission business has for a good
many years been cursed by a class of ad
venturers who tire not business men , says
the Minneapolis Produce Bulletin. They
have no capital , experience or anything that
ilts them to do a legitimate commission
business. Such men enter the business ,
make a failure of it , and do up country
shippers , or else plan a deliberate steal.
ns has been done in this market several
times during the past two years. The
legitimate commission men have been
helpless against this evil. They have not
had power to combat it. Anything they
might do was looked upon by country ship
pers ns an act of Jealousy of a business com
petitor and carried no weight. All they
could do , therefore , was to stand asldo and
see their shippers swindled by these adven
turers and lot their own credit and business
suffer through the rascality of this class of
men.

Ihu Close oT the Week ,
SATUIIDAV , Fob. 18.
About tlio only notable featuio to the 10-
celpts the past week has been the heavy sup
plies of sheep. These show an Increase over
the week previous of about 3,500 head , and
over the corresponding week last .year of over
7,000 head. The exact llgutes me as follows :
Cattle. Hogs. Sheep.
Uecelpts thlsweck . 14,755 22,901 0,015
Hecelpts lust week . . .17,485 22.1GH 0,410
Same week last vear . .16,004 29,103 2,771
The cattle nmtket this week started out
rather unfavorably. Hecelpts weio not at all
heavy heie , but the trade had hardly lecov-
en-d from the demoralisation of the week pre
vious. Aflor Tuesdiiy , howo\er , thesenttment
changed and since then prices Imto steadily
luhnnccd until the close of the week
llnds pilces fully as high as ten
days ago. The situation Is materially
unchanged , and with a good demand fiom all
souices , prospects meery fiminiblo for u
continuance of present high prices , The Cin
cinnati Pilce Current , In levlowlng the hog
situation , Incidentally lemarkseoncernlng the
cattle maiket : "A feature of the geneial out
look Is the sttcngtlienlng position of the cattle
market. The Indications point to thn fact
that the demand Is overtaking the supply and
will get beyond It In the near future. Condi
tions In recent years ha\o operated to dls-
courage cattle growers , as well as hog
glowers. Theio hum been changes going
on , Inducing the maikotlng of animals at an
aeragi ; ago yonngerthan heietofore. Ily this
process the oflerlngs liuvo been nut of pio-
portton to the actual basis of supply. The
surplus has been disposed of , and ere long the
cattle grower will bo expeilenclng the same
regiot that the hog raiser now does , that ho
went out of the business when ho should have
done otherwise. The hog supply will bo
restored before a plentlfnlness of
catilo can bo made available. "
The week closes with a heavy run of cattle
and a iiutet though generally firm market.
Offerings Included an unusually liberal pio-
poitlon of exceptionally desirable beef steers ,
and the gem-ial quality of the sup
plies of late has shown decided
Impiovemcnt. I'avoiablo advices from
eastern markets led to considerable activity
on the part of speculative shlpjieis and the
good to cholco heavy beeves sold readily at
fully steady prices. The same wns tiuo of
the handy light , fat steers that suited
the dressed beef trade. Coarse heavy
Bteeis and half fat stuff was slow
sale at rather lower prices. There were
several loads of fat 1,300 to 1,450-lb. beeves
that sold at from 84.GO to $5.15. Fair to good
1,000 to 1,200-lb. steers changed bunds at from
$4.15 to $4.55 , with poor to fair underweight
grades at from $4 down to$3.40 : lluslness was
not overly active , butn\ory fair clearance was
elfected.
llutchors' stock and cannors' changed hands
freely at good , llrm prices. Sales Included
poor , thin cow stun" us low as 81.75 , nnd prime
fat 1,200-lbcowsut $4.15. The bulk of the fair
good cows sold at fiom $2.00 to $3.50. There
was a good demand for rough stock of all kinds
nt good stiff urlcos , poor to cholco bulls , oxen
and stags selling at from $2.25 to $4. On"cr-
Ingsof calves were quite liberal but the In
quiry was good and prices ruled fully steady
at fiom $2.50 to $5.75.
The stocker and feeder trade has been In
good shupn all week. Kecelpts huvo Included
only a small proportion of stack and feeding
cattle , but these have sold freely at the high
est prices of the season. The demand from
thocountiy even at the present war juices Is
far In excess of the demand. Trade Is never
overly lively on a Saturday , but the pens
weio emptier at thuclose today than for weeks
past.
lions There Is absolutely nothing now In
the hog situation. Consldoinhlo speculation
and comment has been caused by the govern
ment's repoit of the hog supply , but conclu
sions are far from satisfactory. The Cincinnati
Price Current In commenting on the report
says : The following compilation shows the re
ported numbefof hogs In January for the years
previous to this season , and the youily nmr-
Kotlng of hogs for twelve months ending Octo
ber 31 , according to thu Cincinnati Pilco Cur
rent's records of western and eastern packing
and receipts at Now York , Philadelphia and
llultlmore :
Number In Marketed

1892 52,398,000 21,800,000
1893 40,095,000
The number shown to ha\o been marketed
during the period of ten years averaged 37 per
cent of the supply In January the percentage
being smaller In earlier years , and larger
In the Into years. Taking the last live years
of the period the aveiugowas nearly 4O per
cent. If this wore to bo applied to the num
ber now reported to reach conclusions as to
thu year's probable total vlslblo marketing ,
the lesiilt would bo about 18,435,000 hogs , or
Ifi'/i ' pur cent decrease , lepresentlng about
3,3ii5,000 hogs less than rorth'jprecedlngjear.
This conclusion , howmer , cannot bo accepted
as consistent with present gonorul Indications
for them has alioudy been a decieuso In west
ern packing operations slnco Nut ember 1 of
neatly 3,000,000 hogs , while the period hencu
to November 1 no.xt will gieatly add to this
dellciency , beyond question , to that It Is illf-
flciilt If not impossible toieachiellublu deduc
tions as to future marketings on the basis of
the January estimates of supply of hogs.
In this connection the September report of
the Department of Agriculture may bo re
ferred to. That statement Indicated that the
number of stock hogs for fattening on hand
was 94 percent In compailson with the preceding -
ceding year , for the enllro country , or 91 per
cent for the sniplus states. This exhibit , with
thu fact that these statements have as n rule
understated the tuliitlvu supply so far as sub
sequent iccoids of marketing could verify , did
much toward setting asldo the accumulating
evidences of a tery much greater decrease in
marketable supplies than thus suggested. The
western packing has fallen shoit 40 pur cunt ,
and t IKI total visible marketing for the four w Inter
tor months , west and east. Is likely to bo fully
81) ) per cent short of the eoricHpondlng purled
last year , This result cannot bo ululbutcd
to a holding back policy , for It Is oIdent that
