I wtvs icommlBsIonoil by the Uolfjinn government , writes E. Ullsworth Cnroy in Iho Honolultv Advortlsor , to.llml , cortuin ruro wnndoring plant tluvt was hullovod torow / on the higher slopes of M nun n Koii , n Itirgooxtlnct volcano situ- utod on the northnrn part of Ilnwnil. 1 hud a station bullt.on ono of the wooded slopes of the mountain , far nwuy from tiny ether hiiblttition. My only com piinlon was n nutivo who hnd lived nl his lifo on this part of the island. About twice tx monthho would visit the sea- const to obtain noodtul supplies for our comp. This native , who said that h'ls ancestors were "biff chiefs , " whoso bones lay secretly buried in caves on the mountain side , was vovy old , although ho could climb canons and scale lava clilTs with wondor/ul ability. During ono of my botanizing : excur sions I passed by the mouth of it narrow cation or gorge , and I asked Pill , the olu native , if ho hail ever explored the same. Pill suddenly became interested In his pipe and didn't know anything about the gulch , and dirt not understand what I said. This was rather strange In Pili , for natives generally know ovary rock und trco in the section whore they live , and I know Pili was lying when ho said ho did not understand mo. So , naturally , Idotorminod tooxamin into the mysterious ravine. Some time afttr this I waa walking with Pili down a gentle slope when I saw a number of bonos. Pili stopped. Ho walked back a few rods and sat down on a stump. Not a word would he say. I began ex amining the bones and for two hours or moro puzzled my bruin over a problem as I had never done before. What I found was this : A circular area of about 100 yards in dlamotor , thickly cov- orcd with > the bleached remains of birds , animals ana humanboincrs. . These ghastly relics were scattorud among the shrubs and grass , the larger bones near the center ; in fact , I found that the bones became gradually smaller aa I appro.ichod the periphery of this circular bonoy.vrd. In the center of the circle was a well llko opening in the ground , from which otpanatod.a.st"1'- . ing odor. No vPtr t-.tltJir row within fifty feefSrVats cavity. How came this -Ivoio with its horrible stench' ? How came those bones hero ? How iamo they to ba arranged about the central open ing ? These questions continually presented - sontod themselves , but they remained unanswerable. A deep mystery sooinod ' to hang ever the spot. It waa 'growing dark. I heard Pili calling and tb.urriod to him. Ho pointed in terror , to tlio " center of the bono-covorod" . A shadow was thrown on the scene by a rising bank of clouds. But I declare that T HILIV rlsinp from thn nit n. vinlhln 'vapor , a column of viniblo fog or sinolco or gas that was luminous. Spellbound , 1 gazed at the spectral column. Near the ground it had the appearance of a phosphorescent ILunu and gradually became came fainter as it amended. Youc im agination will have to picture the un earthly phenomenon. Pili pulled at my iivm , and in bilonco wo left the spot , and we did not loiter by the waysido. As I was looking for a simple plant , and not blood-curdling manifesta tions , I was inclined to break camp and leave. But by morning my nerves were in bettor order , and I wont back to the scone of my evening's ad venture , i could find no clew to the mystery , nnd the matter gradually wont out of my mind as I pioauoutod my labors. But I had occasion after a time to visit a spot near where I had seen the canon about which Pili was BO appar ently ignorant. Ono evening I made known ray intention to Pill to return to the place and to explore the gorge. When ? " said Pill. "In the morning , " I replied. Without a word the old native aroao from his mat on tlio floor und departed. Ho was gene all night. Ho returned by sunrise , bearing on his shoulders a bun dle. When wo reached the canon ho stopped and unpacked his load. I saw a stone idol , curlotfs in shape ; ho placed it on the ground , and then took a small pig from his bundlo. Making a lire , ho spi Ink led something in the llauios , mut- teiod stiango sounds and made symbols In the air with his lingers. The a.niinal otloring was placed before the idol. After ho had completed his str.ingo rites ho said that I might never como buck , but ho had done what , ho could to preserve my lifo. Ho would wait until the going down of the sun , and thon. If I did riot como back , ho would wall for mo as did his father , long , long ago , when a son foil in b.ittlo. Then ho sat down , cov ered up his head , and was silent. All this made mo fcol uncomfortable. The natives of the Hawaiian Islands'aro supposed to bo Christianized , but in the time of danger or trouble many often turn to the dbearded god o ( their fathers. I know Pili buliovcd great ilunirer awaltod anyone who ascended the ravine. But I wont. I had gene about a milo whan ever tholoiM of the trco ferns 1 saw a waving mubs of sca'greoufollnga' undulating in the wind. The object looked like a hugo buuchof thick leaved seaweed , and the peculiar motion of the same arrested my attention. I was ever JJOO foot away from the curious object , and hurried to obtain a closer vjow. A wall of forn-covorod lava about ton fe ot high stoppud my course. Climbing up so that I could just sou ever the edge , I saw an otjcct such as thooyo of eivili/.od man never before beheld. Imagine n bunch of seaweed about twelve foot high ; thu odgu of each piece lined with line streamers , which radiated in all directions and tioinbled llko line wire spirals ; the whole object moving llko the fringes of a sea unoinono. I was wearing a heavy felt Jint with u whin brim and I pushed it b.ielc from my forehead to got a bettor view. As I moved my arm thd strange object ceased quivering and every vibrating antenna or streamer pointed directly at mo. Just then my foot slipped from a Hitting rock on whlcu I was standing turn 1 full , hut not before something cleaved the air with n horrible hUsing nuisoand struck on my hat crown. 1 felt \\Q \ } force of tho. blqw aa I foil and know no moro ( or utimo. . I regained consciousness after UBhoit time and lay in u partial stupor.

Goiran presents in Har per's Magazine an Instructive sketch of military service in Italy. The law of conscription makes overv able-bodied Italian liable to military service Irom the ago of 20 to 39. There are , consequently quently , nineteen classes to feed the army. The men on the conscription lists found lit for service are enrolled , and divided by lot into three distinct catego ries , llrst , second , third. The first cate gory contingent iw determined annually by law. The men in excess ol the llrst category contincont are asbigned to the second category ; these who find them selves in sucli family circumstances aa are stated by the law of conscription are passed into the third. In determining these circumstances the legislator has conclliatoJ the nu'eds of the military do- fence of the state with the ether inter- osU of civil society and the principles of humanity. In this respect , of the laws consprfption of all the great states of Europe , the Italian is thu most lib- oral. The former , in fact , extends the liorlod of liability to military service to twenty-live years , and restrict the cases of exemption within the narrowest limits. Another feature of the Italian law is this : It allows all conscripts wishing to finish their studios to postpone military service till the ago of twenty-live , and grants clergymen the right to sqrvo in the sanitary department. This period of active service in the army is of throe years for the first cate gory men , if they are in the Infantry , artillery or engineer corps , and of four If they are in the cavalry. Sublieuten ants must servo llvo years. After throe yean * spont.with thp col ors , the great mass of the first category nro sent homo on an unlimited furlough , remaining , howovur , liable to service for six yours , at the expiration of which they pass for n term of four years to the active militia , and then for six yours to the local militia. The second category nro , in peace time , liable to service in ono of tlio sev eral arms durl'ig a period of nine years in tlio permanent army , another of four years in the active militia , and a third ono of six years in tlio local militia ; but they are considered us on u furlough , nnd only subjected to sotno months' mil- Unrv training , - , The furlough classes of the first calo- gory bolilg sitlllolcnt to put the perma nent army on a war footing , nnd the four classes of tlio active militia being suniclcut to complete the cadres of the same inlHtla , the second categories nro really complementary troops serving to replace casualties In the 11olil army. * The men of the third category are not In peace time called to service , except for a few wccus' training. All the third category classes concur with the six older classes of the lirst and second cate gories to form the local uillUtn , This ia very Humorous , and although Its mo- chanlcal worth is of vorv little Im portance , except in that portion of It which is formed of llrst category mou , ' It can , novortholoas , in case of pro tracted wnr , bo used for garrison ser vice and the maintenance of publla peace , thereby nlTordlng moans of re sistance to the last extremity , * VENUS IN PANTS. How the O nor of n llviintUul Stutno Ap. | penned tlio "Unco Culd. " There Ss a statue nestling in n pretty gtmloti at-13i th UouchLonjr Inlandand , surrounding it tire llowor boils , and over head the branches of so voral stately elms interlace to form a beautiful conopy for a great artistic production , Tlio Sack , ground IB suporb. The pretty green of the landscape shows the rounded and beautiful lines of the fnlr Grecian goddess - doss , Aphrodite , she who was "born In the fouin of the sea , " and thousands have admired her as she stood mute and silent on a marble pedestal facing tho- maln drive of the town. Now the trouble is that Bath Beach folks did not know that Aphodito is another ntimo for Venus , and two weeks ago when several of the ultrafashionable - fashionable residents found out that it was Venus that was disporting her charms befoio the public , they de nounced the deception and said that not only was it Venus , but she was oven un adorned. The question soon became the leading topic of conversation. A prominent woman sulTraglst managed the campaign for the women with greater skill , according to the Now York Hocordor , than Anthony Comstock overused used In his work. She carried the day and Venus , who had boon Dariullnp ni Aphrodite , was threatened with expul sion. Matters reached a crisis on Mon day ovoning. A stormy session occurred on the lawn of the Kathleen villaownod by Mrs. Hallow ay , where the statue ia situated. The battle waged for and against , but the antl-Venusos carried the day.Tho The bright sun of Wednesday morn ing scintillated ever the roofs of the pretty cottages at Bath Benchand grad ually , as the shadows grow shorter and shorter , and the summer girl was ready to hio herself to the beach with her bathincr costume tightly inclosed within the inside clasp of her pocketbook , the rays of light fell full on the goddess. Her oyoa were drooping and her head hung as if she were lingering on the breast of either Paris , Pygmalion or Adonis. A loud cry from the summer girl attracted fifty persons to the spot , and lot the dispute was settled. Venus was not unadorned. In fnut , she was much adorned , tor , girdled about her hips , and extending down so as not to show oven the daintiest bit of her ankle , was a pair of "punta" a pair of man'a "pants. " The residents of Bath Beach who were interviewed saia that nt no time did Venus have on a pair of suspenders. SHORT BUT QXIEAT. Hid Ilralny Mun ! > ut Lacking In Inches. Gentleman's Magazine : Confucius was a man of middle height. Wo should have preferred him short. But ono must not rob a man of his inches to lit a theory. Socrates was stumpy , also St. Paul and Alexander the Great , are at only as a warrior. In stature both ho and his far moro intellectual father , Philip of MacodonsjO'irco reached mlddlo height. In this regard wo may rank thorn with the famous Spartan general- Agosilaus ; with Atilla , the "scourge of God" broad-Hhouldorcd , thick sot , sinewy , short ; with Thoodoric It. , king of the Goths , of whom Cnsslodorus writes : ullo Is rather short than tall , somewhat stout ; with shapely limbs alike lithe and strong.

When , then , Koppol a commodore at 21 was sent to demand an apology from the doyof Algiers for an Insult to the British ling , ho took so high u tone that the doy exclaimed against the Inso lence of the British king for charging' a "beardless boy" with such a message to . him.
