Tho problem for tho "whlto" licet,

To win, tho whlto squadron must bo

Within that tlino after tho gwhlte

The Hawaiian still believes that this
habit which their spirit lias ' of
wandering around in Hie dark leads
to their destruction. The hiilipim
puiuiiliiine, us he is railed, Is looked
to for relief for the nutives hue lirm
belief iu his power to destroy und
capture tho spirits. The knlmiin U
paid for his work, anil the Hawaiian
saw no reason why Ins profession
was not entitled to legalization by
legislative enactment.
The kiihuiia, of which there nre
still many in the Islands, makes his
business a profession, and follows
out a carefully prepared plan iu his
ehnse for the spirits. He is supposed
to hate the power to summon at will,
by means or his blaek art, spiritual
messengers to do bis bidding. These
messengers are spirits of men and
women who during life excelled
in the arts of the knlinna. Anioiur
Ihcse commonly employed are Kim-
mil und Kiipu, who were women, and
Knniiiihlokula, Kumuksilil und 1'ala-
Hum, who wero men.
The service oi those spiritual ines-
sengers may always be culled Into
piny, but some knhunus are believed

special einlssury of tlio spirits Is

Tho kahunas generally operate

told f the fact by the kuhunti.
An Interesting ease of witchcraft
practiced has come to light. A native
named Keoln, employed by ), Al
exander, who vouches for (he truth of
the story, felt tho grasp of n hnml
u I in a ins nn mi i one n igu i, uno, alter u
tUspernte struggle secured his release,
recognizing the witch ns. the wire of
Pole, living near by, who had consid
erable reputation ns a kahiinn. It was
admitted that the body of thewomnn
was asleep at the time, but the native
went to I'elo and boldly accused the
wahina of attempting his life. The
lcohuna, husband of the accused, was
called upon to try the case, and using
a pack of cards, pronounced his wife
guilty. Soelng she had a fair trial, she
accepted jthe verdlt In silence. It,
therefore, remained for the kahunn to
kill the spirit ami thus prevent fur
ther injury. The Itahuna prescribed
the. remedy, which consisted of three
panoo, fish freshly tnheh from tho sen,
five Jo'nts of red suitfr cano of the
variety called lrouvyulu, and of Jlowers

In number. She was made to cot
the sugir cane, together with the nil
liuliu flowcris for which she took tho
fish, and approaching the junction of
two roads without looking back she
dropped the fish behind her, nnd
passed on, leaving them for the ka
huna to recover. (FKli are a great
delicacy, and nre enlcn raw by the
natives.) Pence was thus restored and
the relations of Hie chief notor-. ngiiln
hcfiime friendly.
The newer forms of education are
helping to enlighten the Hawaiian',
nnd the passing nvtny of (lie pure
blooded natives (which seems a ques
tion of but n few tears) will take with
It their belief In witchcraft, spirit and
knliunuism.

In "Dnnlol Htcrton, Volunteer licg
ulur," a "romance of the Philippines,"
by Isinel Putnam, published by Funk
&. Wagualls company, Nuvv York, a
shrewd and clever contrast between
American and Filipino character runs
throughout the entertaining book.
The author's study of the women of
the two races, is particularly inter
esting.
The admixture of Hie non-Caucasian
blood with the basic fastillun Is not
considered u blemish In the Spanish
circles of t,oclcty iu the Philippines.
.Mercedes, the daughter of Scum-Purls,
u rich sugar planter of Negros, has no
doubt at all that the is an equal ami
proper mate for Kvcrton, the urlsto
cratlc New Yorker. "lloth of her
grandfathers having been .Spaniards,
it dltl not occur to her thut Kvcrtou
could regard her as being In any way
inferior because of the darker strain
which ran through her tcins."
In fact, it would appeur thut the less
Spanish blood a woman can boast, the
greater recommendation it is.
"'Judging by the Spanish women I
liavc seou out here, I would rather
irturry a native, mvself. thuu mm of
?theni,' yawned O'Connor.
," 'llhjht you are,' said MacTntish.
Such marriages occur, and 1 havcsceii
thtmi turn out as well as the averagu
marriage at homo. The women live
altogether for their husbands, hate a
child every year for L0 years, and then
die. That ought to be devotion enough
for any man."
" 'I don't suppose there could beany
vjuuipiinioiisnij) with one of them,' Lv
erton remarked, Inquiringly.
"'If it's ooinpanioushipyotrro after,'
retorted MuoTinIsh, 'you hud better
go and live in a club. Women aro thu
same the world over. Once thoy get
luurrled, children and housekeeping
are all they care about. The most you
can hope for Is u good temper, and your
Filipino hus that. The white muii'vvho
murries one of them gets u devoted
wife und is head of his own house, nnd
don't tou forgot It. That's more than
urn ne sum oi home married men ut
homo.'
" 'Did you over moot u native woman
who could talk keep her end up, so
to speak'." Inquired Kverton.
tvell. rather,' replied Johnson,
"i'lioy uro by no means the playthings
you might suppose. On the average,
they talk quite us tvell as our women
doat home. You havegot to take their
surroundings into consideration. They
huve no life outside of their own llule
towns, hut there's precious little goes
on lu those towns thut they t-iin't talk

Your women mny have 5,000, but they

" 'I wonder if a man could take a na
tive woman back home with him,'
asked Overton.
" 'Yes, I Mippnse so. If there was
nothing the mutter with her leprosy
or smallpox, for instance,' replied
w i niir, i neres nothing in the Im

" 'i mean would she bo received in'

A little, bent old woman out in a

of pleasure seekers on a country ram

1'iee Press. On questioning her con
cerning the u-e of the green wheat
heads it wus found that her basket
also contained barks, and during tho
chat that followed tho little old worn
mi imparted some valuable knowledge
concerning the preparations of home
made sulves warranted to cure every
possible sprain or strain or open sore.
Hut she claimed that best of all the
good oltl salves, "better than all the
doctors' medicines for stopping pains
and aches," Is the "wheat salve," for
which slit- was gathering the green
wheat heads. Just why sho should cull
It "wheat salve" (when the prepara
tion Is composed more largely of barks
than wheat) Is not known. This is her
recipe for preparing the excellent and
very healing compound renowned In

Strip tho green Inside bark from
tho stveot elder and take a quart of
mis iinru nnd mix It with tho bumo
quantity of the bark of bitter-sweet
lr,outs. Add to the barks a generous
handful of green wheat blades and
one quart of thick stveot cream.
Stew all together over tho fire until
yoigeuU pour oir the clear oil, which
should be kept in large-mouthed hot
tles.4 This healing salve will keep
indefinitely, and Is believed by tho
old residents f the little village to
possess u potent clinrm for heullng
