"The Fiji Tellsalds are becoming civilised
as rapidly as ohureh .missione and English
rule can do the work. The inhabitants are
a good-natured lot of people who are quick
to learn and who take kindly to cortatn of
the European customs. Twenty years ago
cannibalism still existed upon the islands,
while now 75 per cent. of the people are
professed Christians living at peace and

less to get to and from which the Walking
is better. Sugar is the principal
industry of the islanda, but the cane
plantations and the sugar mills
are in the hands of men living in
Australia, and whatever profit there is in
thn business leaves the country. Cocoanuts
or copras, bananas and pineapples rank in
the order named so far as their importance
is concerned, but the diatance from our
ports to Auckland and other Australian
ports mekes the growing of these products
rather hezardous front a financial stand.
point.
"When I first went to the Fiji Islands
the islanders were not so far advanced in
their ideas of civilization as at present.
There was no written language there,though
the spoken language was both expressive
and poetical in its sounds. The 1-1 esleyan
inissione established there soon made many
converts, and through them there was made
a written language. Of course there are
many who speak a little English, but it
'seems difficult for them to master it.
Twenty years ago there was little cloth
except the rough native stuff made from
the fibre of a plant which grows on
the islands, resembling horsehair. It
served it purpose, however, and had the
added advantage of being practicarly inde-
structible. The fortunate feinale who was
pcoeeesed of a strip of calieo was considered
ID the height of fashion when she strolled
out with it wrapped about her. But the
cost of it was so great to them that they
were necessarily very frugal in the wearing
of it. It was nothing uncommon to see a
girl or woman employed as a field hand go
to the field wearing this precious piece of
calico, and when there get behind the
friendly shade of a banana plant and ex-
eliange it for an improvised one made out of
a broad and aniple banana leaf, which is
some two feet wide and six feet lung,
wrapped about her waist. The banana leaf
makes a cool and comfortable working cos-
tume, one which neither costs money nor
labor in its preparation, and whielt serves
its purpose admirably. There is seen a dis-
position on the part of some of the islanders
to adopt dresses and European coats and
trousers, but it is by no means general.
"The Fijians are a peaceablehonest class
of people with morals in every way better
than the inhabitants of most islands in the
aouthern seas. They are very cleanly in
their personal habits, and one need never
be.afraid• of eating -the food they set before
their visitors. They are not particularly
thrifty, but it is not to be expected When a
man can earn enough in two months to keep
him in comfort, if not in luxury, for the re-
maining ten months of the year. By this
do not intend to convey the idea that the
popular theory regarding tropical countries
is true -that all one need do is to open his
mouth for ripe fruit to drop in. While fruit
grows in tolerable abundance, they need a
certain amount of cultivation. The natives
have their yams and plantain, their cocoa.
outs and pineapples, and there is not much
else needed. Wages there are very low. A
field hand will receive on 50 average six,
pence a day, and a laborer in a sugar mill
possibly double that sum.
The Fiji Islands are under the coittrol of
England, and a Governor is stivtioned at the
ialancla. When I was there the first time, in
1872; the aborigines were in control of their
own lands, with chiefs over the several
tribes. Cakabau, the greatest of the chiefs
in point of following, was ruler over the
island of Viti Levu, which means Big Fiji,
and about t he year 1873 two Europeans
came to the country. They sa.w the posse.
bilitiea of a kingdom, and through some
ticheme induced Cakahau to consent to be
the ruter. A crown was made, a handsome
affair made of sheet tilt covered with coffin
ornaments. which. I was told recently by
t he man who made it. uost $3, and Cakabau
wee duly invested with the gaudy toy and
clot lied in the ermine of a king, which by
the way, eas cut from a bolt of calico.
King Cekalerit kept his job for about peven
.vears, though his throne became a little
shaky at times because of the discontent of
an almost equally powerful chief. In 1880,
or thereabouts, the islands were formerly
ceded to Great Britain, and have fence been
entice English control. By a sort of coin-
eidence, John Thurston, one of the men who
originated the scheme for a kingdom with
cakabau at its head, who came to the
islands as second mate of a sailing vessel,
and at once became a photographer, has now
become Sir John Thurston, Governor of the
islands. The $3 investment for the tin
crown with the coffig ornaments proved a
paying investment.-LChicago Tribune.

Queer Ways.
Dining is not in Japan the serious Masi.
nests it is in England. The Japanese do not
meet to eat, but eat because they have met,
and conversation and amusement form the
principal part of a banquet Conversation
need not he held only with your neighbors,
for if a man wishes to speak to a friend in
another part of the room he quietly slips
the paper panel behind him, perms into the
arm -andel, enters the room again, and sits
down on the floor before his friend. Ex-
changing cups is the chief ceremony at a
Japanese dinner. Sake ---a spirit made from
rice, resembling dry cherry -is drank hot
out of the tiny lacquer and gold cups
throughout dinner ; and the musmes, who
sit on their heels in the open space of the
floor,pa,tiently watch for every opportunity
th fill your cup with sake When a gentle-
man would exchange cups—which is equiva-
lent to drinking your health- he sits down
in front of you and begs the honor. You
empty your cup into a bowl of water, have
it filled with sake, drink, wash it again, and
hand it to your friend; he raises it to his
forehead, bows, has it filled, and drinks. As
this ceremony has to be gone through with
a great many times, drinking is often a mere
pretence. Faailig is, however, but a • notall
