A RIGHT ROYAL ROBE. Ma lie of Rare Feather for the Rnler of tbe Sandtvlrh Inland. A million dollars seems a pretty round sum to pay for a cloak; and probably even Worth never dreamed of asking fco fabulous a price for the most elaborate of his garments. And yet in the National museum at Washington is cloak the cost of which cannot be reckoned at less than this vast amount; arid hi dies may be pleased to learn that it was not a woman, but a man, who was guilty of such a piece of extrava gance. lng years ao. when the Hawaiian lands, small as they are, supported not one but several flourishing king doms, the kings, chiefs and noble, whenever they appeared in public on state occasions, wore, instead of the purple ami ermine of more civilize;l potentates, capes and eloaksof brilliant feathers. The ladies of the court were forced to content themselves with feather-boas, as we should call them, known as "leis." These canes and col- Lars were made from the yellow, red and black feathers of a few species of small birds peculiar to the Sandwich islands, and called, from their habits, honey-suckers. Fashion ruled even in those days, and as the yellow feathers were scarcer than the red, yellow was the fashionable color; and the more powerful the chief the more yellow was his robe of state. These yellow feathers were found only on two or three species of birds, the finest coming from a bird called in the native language "mamo." and known as Drepanis pacifica bv ornithologists. These birds, with their striking black-and-yellow plumage, were as dear to the hearts of the Hawaiian mon- nrehs us they might be to-dav to the hearts of patriotic Princeton students. and were sought for far and near throughout the islands. The populace paid poll-taxes in golden feathers in stead of golden dollars, and as each bird furnished but a few feathers, the taxes may be considered as having been high. Some estimate of the value of the feathers may be formed from the prices paid in later times, when a piece of nankeen cloth valued at a dollar nnd a half was the equivaJent of five feath ers; but, after all, the great element in the cost of these cloaks was time and labor, since the making of a single cloak required from 53 to 100 years. As the. feathers obtained for taxes were very far from supplying the de mand, the chiefs were accustomed to employ a regular staff of bird-catchers, much ns n medieval baron had his staff of falconers. These skilled foresters prepared a sort of bird-lime from the gum of the fragrant "olapa," mixed with the juice of the breadfruit tree. and with it smeared the branches of the flowering trees frequented by the noney-sucKers. t reverie A.

Baron Moncbausen, of course, stand lirst, with hir John l al- staff a pood second, and now comes Lady Middleton, a very good third. ine nooie lady has written lor an English periodical publication an ac count of some remarkable discoveries of lost property. In one case a valu able ring was lost. Years afterwards. when a floor was removed, the jewel was found wedged tightly around the neck of the skeleton of a mouse. The ring had fallen through a crack in the floor. The mouse, half-grown at the time, had thrust its head into it, had thus been caught, and had grown until it w as strangled Another case: A gentleman shot and wounded a sand-piper, which, flutter- ing across a pond, was seized and de- voured by a pike. That afternoon the sportsman's brother, while fishing m the pond, caught a pike in whose stom ach was found the identical sand-piper. Another case: A lady who was visit ing a relative lost a ring. Six years after, while visiting the same person, then living in a far distant locality, she slipped her hand thoughtlessly into a recess of the chair she was sitting in and found, the missing ring. Another case: A lady supped at a royal ball, nnd one of the golden spoons lodged, unknown to her, in one of the pockets formed by the plaits on the front of her dress. The following year, in presentation to the queen, she wore the same rown. As she benf. in cour- tcsying the plait opened and out fell the missinsr snoon at her sovereign s feet. X. Y. World. Aristocrat nnrt Democrat in France, It is difficult for Americans to under stand the march of political events in France, and their details, because they lose sight of the struggle between the aristocrat and the democrat- One must have been a spectator of this struggle to comprehend its effects. Many of those who still have monarchical be liefs will only admit that the great rural proprietors, or at most the great industrial magnates and the great bankers, can have the pretension to covern their country. The idea that a lawyer, a doctor, a journalist, has any rifrht to sit in the chamber or the sen ate seems to them absurd.

In a recent ball game at the polo grounds a visiting player scored from second base by not going within a yard of third. This trick was originated by the late Mike Kelly when he was a mem ber of the famous Chicago champions. The first time he tried it successfully was in Boston about 12 years ago. There were 10,000 persons present, and when the last half of the ninth inning began the score was tied. Kelly, who was the first man at the bat, turned to the crowded grand stand, before tak ing his place, and shouted: "Open the gates and go home: Its all over!" Kel was guj ed unmercifully, but he merely laughed and cracked out a safe hit. As he crossed first base he fell, and rolled on the ground in appar ent, agony. "It s me ankle! cried the king, and I the Chicago players took off his shoe, After 15 minutes' delay Kelly got up anil seemeu to De very lame, ineuos- fnn tintterv Vielir-vlnrr thnt he could not rim iinid little nt.tention tn Kim. until suddenly he dashed for second like a real sprinter ana sua arounu uuraocic in safety. "Never touched me!" yelled Kelly, and then all eyes were turned to Capt. Anson. The latter finally pushed a slow grounder toward John Morrill, the first baseman, and Eugene Van Court, the umpire, ran down the base line to see whether Morrill cot to the bag ahead of Anson. He believed Kelly would go only as far as third, so he did not look at Mike. The moment the ball was hit by An son. iei ran as iar as trie shortstop. then turned boldly into the infield and cut across at least five yards from third. He reached the base line before the um pire turned to see what he ws doing. and fairly flew across the plate in a long slide with the winning run. 'He didn't touch third!" screamed thousands. "J . v chW.tnn Pnt cuu, ,oit. .1. the umpire was helpless, as he hadn't seen the trick, and so was compelled to allow the run. The big crowd, at first enraged r.t the trick, leaped down upon the fieJ Jn a threatening manner. But Kel soon won everybody over bv shout ing-: "It's all over! The game's won! You can't get it back! Open the gates!' Then there was a great cheer fcr the trickiest lall player who ever walked the diamond. This trick was original with Kelly and many players have tried it since. X. Y. Sun. Stamp In Still Standing. The stump of the tree to which Irael Putnam was once tied in the French and Indian war is still standing in the little village of Crown Point, a town in the upper part of this state. It was in the course of a skirmish near Wood Creek, at the time of the French invasion in August, 175S, that he was captured by the Indians and tied to tbi tree. While the flames were sear ng his flesh he was saved bv Capt Motang. a French officer, who rushed through the crowd, scattered the tire- brnnds, cuffed and upbraided the In dians. and released their victim. Put nam was taken to Montreal, and pres ently freed by exchange. A great many strangers who go to the town and hear the story chip off pieces of the stump as relics.
