a combination of circumstances had
already put in motion. That both
the past facts and the present Gov
ernment have largely shaped opin-
ION III the United States for two
years none will deny. That the
same political forces, with the same
men at the head Of public affairs,
will, to large extent, control the
future destiny of Hawaii, as well as
direct the material and politicalinter-
ests of the United States in these
islands and i'll the Pacific ocean,
is also a palpable fact and one that
should impress itself here as well as
in the United States.

IAN interesting thing about criminals, I"
said Superintendent Byrnes, ais that in
some mysterious way they gravitate to-
gether as soon as they arrive in town. You
may fancy that it is burglar who lands
here from an English steamer, an utter
stranger TO every human being in New
York, or you may picture to your mind
any sort OF thief or crook, coming from any
point of the compass, he will find the
haunts of people like himself How he
knows where they are, how he goes about
10 ind them, are questions difficult to an
swer, but in every case he discovers their
haunts and makes himself at home. 1t is
not wonderful that the criminals should do
this. A clergyman landing here stran-
ger would seek the society of men of his
cloth, and foreign dry goods man would
introduce himself tn the dry goods men.
That goes without saying, but the honest
folk can easily find one another, whereas
the criminals hang out no signs and must
be very much harder to search out"
The sagaciOus superintendent knows
very well how this is done. He not only
watches those whom he knows to he Grim
inals, hut also those who are seen with
| them. He would drop the shadowing of a
thief at any time TO follow some one in the
thiefs company, because he knows the one
and needs to know the other. Methods like
that leave little for him to guess or to won
der at in the habits of those whom he stud
es.-New York Sun.

Burned Zulus Dreaded the Ice.

"The natives Of tropical countries
are seldom SO much astonished as they
are when first introduced to snow and
ice" said E. A. Forester of Chicago
"While the Worlds fair was in prog
ress Isaw joke played upon two mem
bers of Zulu band which was greatly
enjoyed and appreciated by all present
except the Zulus themselves. The man.
ager of their tribe, whom I knew init
mately, knowing that none of the Zu-
lus had ever seen any ice, thought it
would be great fun to see how they
would act when brought in contact with
it, He accordingly told two of them
that he wished them to go down town
with him. He informed me what he
was going to do and invited me to ac-
company him, which did. We stopped
at the office of one of the large brewer
les, and after explaining our errand
were readily granted permission to go
through the icehouse.
con arriving at the door of the ice
house we all entered the Zulus, who
were barefooted, following close behind.
All along the walls inside great cakes
of ice were piled. My friend, the man
ager, climbed up on top of the cakes
and told the Zulus to follow him. They
Gbeyed. When the cold chill of the ice
struck their bare feet, they didn't know
what to make of it. They looked at one
another for minute and jabbered some
thing i'll their outlandish tongue. They
stood it for about a minute, then, giving
vent to yell, they sprang to the ground,
and rushing to the door threw them
selves on the ground outside where they
lay writing about, nursing their feet
and insisting that they had been Sc
verely burned. st. Louis Globe DEM

1t is stated that the German inven-
tion-plastomenite, OF improved smoke
less powder-has been satisfactorily
tested by the government authorities.
AS produced by Herr Gutter, the orig
inator, the solution is poured into
forms, where it becomes a fairly hard
material, capable CT being pressed roll
ed, etc, can be colored at will and is,
like celluloid, serviceable for numerous
purposes. As powder, it is adapted for
blasting, for Cannons and rifles, signal
rockets, etc. The special advantage,
however, claimed for it is complete du-
rability, while all other such powders
manufactured by the means of ether
and nitrOglycerin invariably deteriorate.
The combustion of plastomenite, it is
also asserted, is so we'll balanced that it
leaves no residue i'll barrel or cartridge,
although the striking velocity of the
projectile is unusually great; the initial
velocity from a 61amm. caliber is given

The first reference 70 highland cos
tune occurs in the Saga Of Magnus Bare
foot, king of Norway, lO93-llO3, writ.
ten by Snorro Sturleson, who was reared
with the children Of that monarch's
daughter. Here it is stated that Mag
nus and his men ON their return from a
marauding expedition to the west of
Scotland brought with them a great
deal of the habits and fashions of cloth
ing of these western parts. They went
about the streets with bare legs and had
short kirtles and overcloaISs, and there
fore his men called him Magnus Bare
foot or Barcleg."
In the thirteenth century we seem to
have something like fist reference to
actual tartans in tho statutes of the
church of Aberdeen, which provide that
"all ecclesiastics are to be suitably ap-
pareled, avoiding red, green and striped
clothing, and their garments shall not
be shorter than the middle of the leg "
But it should be noticed that the word
tartar, which occurs in the fifteenth
century, in the accounts of the lord high
treasurer Of Scotland, and which was re.
garded by both Borthwick and Pinker-
ton as meaning tartan, really indi-
Gates, as pointed out by DR.. Dickson, a
fabric of eastern origin, frequently
variant" or shot, the warp and wool
being of contrasting colors. We find,
however, true reference to tartan in
the same accounts in the following CEN
tury, for in August, 1888, there appears
an entry for 'iij. elnis of Holand tar
tame to be hoiss to the Kings grace, "
these "hoiss" or trews being evidently
intended to be worn with Zane schort
Heland colt" accounted for under the
same date.-Scottish Review.
