Al'eculinr Custom Among llio Maoris.
Hon. (. W. (irillln. I'liltt't. Ntntrs
consul lit AuU.intl, Xcw Xr:iluml,
recently rem! a very interesting imil
vnlunMo pajier before tlie St. ..otiis
Historical society in relation to one of
tlic peculiar customs of the Maoris, or
aboriginal inhabitants of Xew Zealand.
It is of interest, from the fact that it
illustrated very forcibly 11 singular
phase of savagery whieh'is fast disap
pearing before the march of civiliza
tion, just as the early customs of the
red men of America are now little more
than traditions nniong the Indians
themselves.
"The law of niuru is so complicated
In its nature, and subject to so many
refinements and so varied in its appli
cations, that it would be about as tlilli
cult to tell what it is as to tell what it
is not.
"The word niuru, in itsliteral sense
means to rob or to plunder, and for
this reason Europeans have come to
regard the term ns a sort of legalized
system of robbery. This view of the
subject is, however, very far from
being a just one. The law of muru
Is so broad and general in its applica
tion that no human being, whatever
may be his rank or condition in life, is
exempt from its penalties or benefits.
Hut in order to understand the practi
cal workings of the law, it must be
borne in mind that the Maoris are
communists, both in theory and prac
tice. They do not think it right for
one person to own more property
than another. For instance, if
a chief owns six pigs and another
four, one must be taken from
the former and given to the latter,
that eacli may have the same number.
lnileea property changes lianas so
often that a man can't tell a week or
a month beforehand who will be the
owner of his canoe, blanket or mat or
even the house in which he lives. The
great principle is to keep property in
circulation. The ol'tener it changes
hands the better. A man's relations
have the first claim to it. His friends
and neighbors come next. Xo one
however, would dare think of asserting
a claim to the property of anothec,
except in accordance with the strictest
principles or the law ot muru, which
alone can determine the right of owner
ship. Should a great misfortune
overtake a man, such as the death
of a favorite child, his relatives
are allowed, according to the law
of muru, to dispossess him of
all his personal property, and if
need lie, of the house in which he
lives. He must suffer for his misfor
tune, but strictly speaking he does not
regard the loss of all his earthly pos
sessions as a punishment. Indeed, on
tlie contrary, lie looks upon it as a
great honor, lie is blessed both by
men and gods; the greater the loss the
greater the honor. If everything he
has in the world is taken from him, he
is treated with the profoundest respect
and lie iiecomes a man ot some im
portance in the community in which
he lives. It a mans child should b
burnt to dvath anil tlie accident prove
to lie unavoidable, the father is at
once plundered to an extent highly
gratifying. Everything is taken from
him his goods, clothing, spears, lish-
ing nets, mats, canvas, indeed, all
his earthly provisions ; and in order to
favor him still further he is severely
clubbed besides. Ho is usually left
uiion the ground in a terribly bruised
and bleeding condition. It is, how
ever, against the law of muru to kill
him. lie is also duly warned of the
process of the law. It would never do
to take him by surprise. A messenger
is dispatched to inform him of the near
approach ot the ofheers ot the law.
Sometimes lie prepares to receive them
and a great feast is .riven in honor of
their arrival, lie is alwavs anxious to
know whether it is a great or little
muru. 11 lie is told that it is a
great muru he is beside himself
with joy. He is expected to defend
himself with a spear or club until he is
overpowered, but it is against the law
for him to strike tlie ollicers too hard.
As soon as the first blood is drawn he
must stop. Sometimes he makes a de
termined resistance, and is terribly in
earnest, and the contest is exciting in
the extreme. One often admires his
courage. The contest is unequal. He
is battling with fate. Like Macbeth,
he knows that he is doomed; but un
like Macbeth, he does not wisli it
otherwise, for to be victorious would
be against tlie law of muru.
Cannot Stand Civilization.
The population of Honolulu is 10,000,
nearly half of whom is American, the
other half being made up of natives, of
Chinese and some 'English. Of the
merchants and commercial men a ma
jority are Americans, the balance are
English. There are also a few Chinese
merchants. The natives, when the
missionaries first visited them, num
bered 400,000, but today there are not
over 30,000 natives on tlie islands. Like
all Indians or aborigines, they cannot
stand civilization and progress. The
descendants of the old missionaries fall
in with new modes of life. When the
missionaries first settled on the islands
they brought tip their children with
puritanic strictness, but other people
coming in among them they were soon
infused with the spirit of enterprise
and took up grants of land and learned
how to make money. Most of the mis
sionaries sent their children to this
country to acquire an education, and
they returned with modern ideas.
This, with the infusion of the foreign
element, has p winced a society in
Honolulu which is equal in education
and refinement to that of any other
city. St. Louis licpublimn.
A Good Little Boy.
Two little Austin schoolboys got
into a quarrel, and one of them said to
the other :
"If it wasn't for your ma being such
a good woman, I'd tear your shirt all
to pieces."
"You tear my shirt if you dare !"
"I ain't going to, tear it, because
your ma would have to mend it, and I
don't want to put her to any trouble,
because she gave me two cakes the
other clay."
As with some grown up people, the
way to a child's heart lies through his
stomach. Texas Siftinys.
The figures given of the losses by
the strikes this summer are large.
The loss to employes is estimated at
$0,000,000; to employers, $12,000,000;
'and to the general public, $30,000,000.

Eroin the curliest time no wiit tu
human lire has been ive.oetttted with
more extensive folk lore tlimnimnlitms
Heginnlng with love-dh Inullomt, thce
are of every conceivable Kind, the
anxious maiden apparently having left
no stone unturned In her anvlety to
ascertain her lot. in the marriage Mute,
Some cut the common brake or fern
just above the root to uncertain the
initials of her future husband's name.
Again, nuts and apples are very favor
ite love tests. The mode of procedure
is for a girl to place on the bars of a
grate a nut, repeating this incantation:
If ho loves me, top niul fly ;
If ho littles me, live and die.
Great is tlie dismay if the anxious
face of the inquirer gradually perceives
the nut, instead of making tlie hoped
for pop, die and make no sign. One
means of divination is to throw a lady
bird into tlie air, repeating meanwhile
the subjoined couplet :
Fly nwny enst nnd fly nwny wesf, ,
Show me where lives the one I like best.
Should this little insect chance to
fly in the direction of the house where
the loved one resides, it is regarded as
a favorable omen.
Another species of love-divination
once observed consisted in obtaining
five bay-leaves, four of which the
anxious maiden pinned at the four
corners of her pillow and the fifth in
the middle. If she was fortunate
enough to dream of her lover it was a
sure sign that ho would be married to
her in the course of the year.
Friday has been held a good day of
the week for love omens; and in Xor
folk the following lines are repeated
on three Friday nights successively, as
on the last one it is believed that the
young lady will dream of her future
husband:
To-night, to-night is Friday niyht,
Lny me down in dirty while;
Drenm who my husbnnd is to be,
And lay my children by my side,
If I'm to live to be his bride.
In selecting tlie time for the mar
riage ceremony precautions of every
kind have generally been taken to avoid
an unlucky month and day for the
knot to be tied. Indeed, the old Ko
man notion that May marriages are un
lucky survives to this day in England.
June is a highly popular month. Fri
day, on account of its being regarded
as an inauspicious and evil day i'or the
commencement of any kind of enter
prise, is generally avoided.
In days gone by Sunday appears to
have been a popular day for mar
riages. It is, above all things neces
sary that the sun should shine on the
bride, and it is deemed absolutely nec
essary by very many that she should
weep on her wedding day, if it be only
a few tears; the omission of such an
act bring considered ominous of her
future happiness.
In Sussex a bride on her return home
from church is often robbed of all her
pins about her dress by the single
women present, from the belief that
whoever possesses one of them will be
married in the course of a year, and
evil fortune will sooner or later inevi
tably overtake the bride who keeps
even one pin used in the marriage
toilet.
" Flinging the stocking" was an old
marriage custom in England. Tlie
young men took the ltfide's stockings
and the girls those of the bridegroom,
each of whom, sitting at the foot of
the bed, threw the stocking over their
heads, endeavoring to make it fall
upon that of the brjde or her spouse.
If the bridegroom's stockings, thrown
by the girls, fell upon the bridegroom's
head, it was a sign that they them
selves would soon be married, and
similar luck was derived from the fall
ing of the bride's stockings, thrown by
tlie young men. There is a super
stitious notion in some places that
when the bride retires to rest on her
wedding night her brideniaids should
lay her stockings across, as this act is
supposed to guarrantee her future
prosperity in the marriage state.
Fafthitin Notes.
Xew silver bracelets are made in
exact imitation of the handcuffs worn
by criminals.
A pretty dress stuff for children's
suits is a crape-linislied serge in broken
Scottish plaids.
Carnations, marsh-mallows, poppies
and ox-eye daisies are the most fash
ionable (lowers for trimming fall round
hats of dark straw.
Handsome "Human" and "Egyp
tian " pens, clasps, jeweled bands and
buckles, made in the United States, are
a prominent feature of millinery and
cloak garniture this season.
The v-.'oper colors for elegant wrap
pers are cream white, pale blue, jiale
rose, shrimp pink, mauve, terra cotta,
hussar blue, dark reds, dark blues,
gray and black. The trimmings should
be embroidery, ribbons, velvet and
lace.
The center parting of the hair is now
made as inconspicuous as possible, and
many ladies obliterate it altogether by
cross partings taken above the fore
head, while the greater part of the
chevelure is combed back without any
parting at all.
Small capotes of white or tinted
satin, completely covered with soft
Huffy white ostrich tips, are worn.
They are very pretty and becoming to
youthful ladies. For their elders the
same fashion in black, bronze, brown,
garnet and dark green is much fol
lowed. The European custom of carrying
infants on lace-trimmed pillows is
adopted by American mothers; and the
nurse wears an Alsace cap with a bow
of ribbon a fourth of a yard .wide, with
ends that hang behind neitrly to her
feet. The nurse's dress is of the color
used for lining the lace of the baby's
pillow.
Stuffed birds are again in request,
and are shown in almost numberless
varieties. These embrace not only tlie
small birds of the American forests
and the highly-colored South American
and East Indian birds, appropriated to
millinery purposes, but certain of the
aquatic birds sea-gulls and ducks, for
instance.
Birds for millinery trimmings are
now stuffed softly, and when applied
hug the headdress very closely. Cer
tain of the large birds, in tlie present
manner of Stulling, are suflicient alone
for the garniture of a hat; and a bird
frequently completes the ornamenta
tion, with drapery of velvet as the ob
jective trimming.
