A Kimlilomtlili * Outdoor Ultrritloii In
I'livor Till * SeiiNon ,
The hlnlH this summer nro being favored
with an unusual amount of attention. At
the extremely fashionable summer places ,
Newport , LOIION and liar Harbor , bird
classes have been formed and the absorb
ing topic of conversation Is "blrdlng. "
"It Is so Interesting. " said a gay girl lhat
know the country pimply aa a place that
held tbig summer hotel , "to 11 ml out that
bird SOURS are as varied and fascinating ns
the themes of nn opera. "
Clnssos have usually from six to eight
members , and go blnllng under the guid
ance of a professional ornllhologisi. The
i nimt Is In hiding , H IH often necessary to
Bit quietly and wait for the bird to nhovv
himself , that In futuiu hla appearance may
be connected with bla song , which bus per
haps been continuously heard.
UotruclorB to tht-Ho clauses have waxed
unusually witty on the subject of the girls
not talking and sitting quietly for hours ,
Dut hero , again , Is an Illuntrallon of Hie
complex character of the summer girl. She
bccomcH ns great an enthusiast at blrdlug
as Bhu IH at golf nnd bicycling , and , as In
these Hporl , she adheres closely to what Is
required of her. In fact , nothing annoys a
class so much ns to have among Its num-
beiB a girl lhat Is at all frivolous. The
only offense or Inattention among them
lhat Is over condoned in when one lags be
hind to bathe her face with the morning
dew. The girls argue that the cause la a
rlghtcoua ono and ? o walk unsuspectingly
on and never look behind.
A member of the Lenox class told re
cently of having to wait thrco bourn In
order to nco Hie scarlet tnnagnr. Her pa
tience was , however , rewarded , as at last
shp had a good view of both the male aud
female busily engaged In feeding a brood of
young ones.
More birds nro seen nnd they nro better
Btudlcd by following fhe outskirts of the
woods limn by going Into their denser
port Ions. Swamps , brooks and running
slrcAtns are also Ideal places to seek them ,
and one ROOII learns to expect certain varie
ties nf birds In certain localities.
It waB known by an amateur ornithologist
that a iod-eyed oriole had a nest In n tree
by the edge of a wood , aa at thU bpol she
was always atlracted by his Incessant chat
ter. Of all the birds ho Is Ihe grealest
glbberer. In Germany they call him * ho
preacher , because they claim ho says dis
tinctly , "You must do U. Can't you see
It ? Don't you think It ? " Therefore she
ensconced hoi self for three successive morn-
IIIRH within range nf lila voice , and watched
In vain for an opportunity to level her { Mass
upon him. At last In despair slio sought
the foot of the tree which formerly had
been hidden by a fence. To her amaze
ment , she saw sitting on Iho ground wltlr
placid patience and looking up Into the
tree a huge gray cut , lhat had evidently been
as untiring In his deslro to tteo the red-eyed
oriole us she herself had been.
Star students In the blrdlng classes are
these able to Imitate most cleverly a kiss ,
nK this particular sound la said to attract
both song nparrowB and warblers. The girls
pay they practice by kissing the back of
their hand , nnd there is no question of
Ihelr proficiency In making the oscillatory
sound.
An many as from twenty to forty species
of blrda nro frequently Been In a morning's
outing. The classes remain out from four
to tlvo hours , and tramp nn unconsclonablu
distance. The girls clamber over fences
with little ceremony , ami often go deep
Into the swamps. It has also been rumored
by lluibo having neighboring berry pnlchca

that the homeward route of the bird
Is not difficult to trace , and that the oh
scnro crows have somehow lost their forrm i
efficacy. Dut of all those that regard bird
Ing with e > es askance are the cooks tha
await their return between 9 and 10 oiloi-l
In the morning.
"Palth , " cried one , "they've clean forgot
ten that I gave them coffee and rolls a
nunrlse. "
AMiitl < AN
A I'loiirlnlilnn Hni-r of Human Ytil
turt'i In UiirUi-Hl IVrn.
Dy oven the most excellently educate !
folk cannibalism Is hardly reckoned nmonf
American defects of character and yet then
Is no need for nny ono who has the curiosltj
to cross the seas In order to gaze upon i
human mancater. Down In darkest Peru
over an outlying eastern ridge of the Andes
toward the very unsettled boundary lines ol
Drazll and Dollvla , u flourishing race ol
cannibalistic Indians can be found. The )
are so fierce and unapproachable , even foi
Indlani , that during the several centuries
that 1'uru has been known to the clvlllzeil
world , few missionaries or explorers have
oven felt courage enough to guarantee any
thing llko a close study of their ecccntrl-
cities. It was an Hngllsh woman and an en
thusiastic traveler who recently brought
homo a photograph of ono of the women ol
| a cannibal tribe , and of these people , she
I wan persuaded to forgo Investigation. His
tory In Peru , even ns It runs back to the
traditions of the earliest Lucas , mentions no
i tlmo when this race , commonly known as
t Chuncho , even submitted to any Intercourse
or alliance with their more domesticated
brethren.
The civilized Indians regard them with a
horror that only cannibalism can Inspire ,
and only at long intervals have the white
residents of Peru seen or captured nny of
these remarkable savages. The fiercest of
the Chunchos are the Antes and the Cas-
clbos , who range the forests where the pre
cious Peruvian hark Is found , and who fight
each other In thp hopes of securing prison
ers for a cannibalistic orgle. Dut there Is
a queer cede In their savage law. They
make no effort to seize women for their
feasts. The very degradation of the sex
Is In a way Its preservation.
The male Ante or Casclbo regards n
woman ns an Impure being. She Is a
comfort , though she accepts her Blmro of
duty , and n cannibal brave would well
nigh perish of starvation before he would
pollute his lips with femaln flesh. Not only
IB a w6mnn thus desplhod , but her blood
IB feared as a poison , from the taste of
which o man roulil recover. The cannibal
women profess no such distaste for man's
IleBh , hut are said to eat It with relish ,
while In their own turn they have evidently
taken no active steps to convince the men
against their onelent error and prejudice.
Saving the protection she receives from
this strange superstition , the cannibal
woman enjoys slight benefits ns far as any
explorers in eastern Peru have been nblo
to (1ml ( out. She cultivates the ground a
little , looks after the children , and cur
iously enough , In Borne of 'these ' tribes poly
gamy Is forbidden. Whether this IB duo
or not to feminine- Influence nobody hus yet
hud the pluck or luck to find out.
When In bccluslon In her forest homo the
cannibal woman wears n rough cloth gar
ment , falling to the knees from the hips ,
beads nntl heavy necklaces that suspicion
and sonio reliable evidence say are composed
chiefly of polished bits of human bone , and
on gain occasions , car and nose buttons ,
with plentiful bedaubing of paint , make up
the tollot. There Is no effort at a coiffure ,
and the accompanying picture of a cannibal
hello shows over the upper lip , under the
eyes and across the cheeks and chin , how
thu paint Is laid on.
In certain arts these fierce women nro
eminently skilled. They prepare the poisons
for tipping the arrows used by the men In
war and for smearing the heavy clubs em
ployed In the buslnesa
of finishing oil nn
unemy when brought to his knees. Among
the civilized Indians the belief Is that no
virulent nro these poisons that where they
touch the broken skin the wounded person
dies within a row moments. So far as
Investigation has been pursued the cannibal
Indians have always recognized the prop
erties of the canc-irllla bark. The women
In cases of fever use nn Infusion of H
drawn from the green bark , which Is after
nil regarded as more promptly efllcacious
than thi white quinine powder that civil
ized chemistry extracts from the same
source.

Lllluokalanl was not "born to the purple , "
but became a queen through accident , so to
speak , and It WBH not until Kalnkaua be
came king that Lllluokulnnl was known by
that long name , literally Lydla of the
heavens , hut simply as Lydla Pakl. H was
as Lydla Pnkl that she grew up In Honolulu
lulu and It was by that name that Bho was
married to John 0. DomlnlH. When her
brother ascended the thione she become a.
princess and blossomed Into the royal
Lllluokalanl.
When the writer first know Lydla Pnkl
It was when both worn scholars at the royal
school of Honolulu. The children of all the
foreigners as the white residents were then
called were sent to that school. It being ,
In fact , the only ono worthy of the name In
existence In Hawaii at the time.
Lydla was not a particularly bright
scholar , but she did manage to keep up with
her class. She showed a special aptitude ,
however , for miiBlc , playing both the piano
and guitar , and singing In n rather weak ,
sweet voice. In later yeors she composed
some waltzI-H , national airs , etc. , but they
tiavc little merit as musical compositions.
Lydla went to school In considerable
state , being taken there each day In n nun 11
open cart drawn by two natives. The cart
was low with four wheeln. a seat In thi
back held two people , while n polo ex
tended In front , on either sldo ofhtch

la , she had her huad shaved and her front
Uelh filed In points. Half mourning per
haps It should bo said , for the really proper
thing would have been to have had her cyo
tcelh knocked out. Thanks lo Pnkl's In-
lluonco nnd nulhorlty her mourning did not
extend to that dlsflgurcmenl. She was away
from school for about a week , her return be
ing anxiously looked for by her companions ,
who felt there was something weird , fan
tastic nnd mysterious about such ceremonies.
When she returned to school she were a
thick black lace veil on her head which suc
cessfully concealed her lack of hair , and her
front teeth soon grew , or rather were off ,
even.
Then the time came when Lydla became
engaged lo John 0. Domlnls , the "only Bon
of his mother and she was a widow. " Or
It was supposed that she was a widow.
YenrR before her husband had sailed awny
from Honolulu to some south Pacific Island ,
and was never heard of , And yet although
ro ninny years had passed , Mrs. Domlnls
never gave up the belief thut her huabaud
would ono day return.
This engagement was not at nil to the
liking of Mrs. Uomlnls. John's mother. She
was a woman who should have lived In a
amall New England village , for her horizon
never enlarged from what it was when ajiu
left that small village to go lo Honolulu.
A notable housekeeper , blio kept her largo
house filled with boarders , but she was a
meddlesome gossip , whoso bitter tongue
caused unhapplneas to many. To expect
her to accept Lydla as a welcome daughter-
in-law was out of the question , In fact ,
there was little expectation of much happi
ness In Lydla's raarrlngo by those who
know the facts , for not only was there thn
antagonism of thu mothcr-ln-law , but John
Domlnls himself had been badly brought up ,
ho was Inclined even then lo be dlHSlpatul ,
and ho had associated with the natives until
ho had Imbibed some of their worst traits.
Dy "natives" in this sense la meant the
common , uneducated people , whoso Influ
ence , and whoso low morality , made them
until companions for joung persons of either
sex.
After Lydln'B marriage cho went to re-
sldo with Mrs. Honilnls , and the usual -e-
aulL of trying to mix two totally distinct
InillvldunlB obtained.
As a girl , the characteristics attributed
to Lydla by her political enemlrh wt-ro not
prominent ; on the contrary , It would seem
that she was nf a timid , modjst , retiring
disposition. Dlgnltled , jcs , for all the
Hawaiian * possess dignity in n great de-
grio. but ambitious , scheming , obstinate ,
cruel , certainly no traces of such traits of
character were ever seen , and It U illflli ult
for the Intimate friends of her youth to
realize or believe all tlio unpleasant things
said of her politically and personally. Surely ,
with but few friends loyal to her In recent
years , with her throne and kingdom forever
lost to her , the last of her family , she has
suffered bitterly whether Innocent or guilty.

U Is an acknowledged fact that women
more often attain a very great ago than
rnun. Among women , ono of the most famous
centenarians was the countess of Desmond ,
who died In the reign of James I from the
effects of an accident. Her reputed age was
113 jears. This wonderful old lady at Ihe
ago of 100 yearn was so lively and well that
she actually took part In a dance ; find only
fl\o years before her death she traveled
from Drlstol to London a tremendous Jour
ney In these days In order to pcrsonallj
attend to some business matters.
Lady Desmond's fame as a centenarian
pinks into nothing compared with that of n
Frenchwoman of the nauio of .Mario Prlon.
who died In St. Colombo at the ag # of TO
years. Toward the end of her life she sub-
listed entirely on goal's milk and cheese ,
and. although her body was so shrunk and
wasted that she weighed only forty-six
pounds , * be retained her mental faculties
to the last.
