''Why are you here?'' says one who
on earth had feeblest intellect to one
who had great brain and silvery tongue
and scepters of influence. The latter re-
spends: ooh, 1 knew more than my fell

and then, turning toward the throng on

Tartans, Bare1egs, High1anders.

The first reference to highland cos
tune occurs in the Saga of Magnus Bare
foot, king of Norway, 1093-1103, 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 q
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 overcloaks, and there
fore his men called him Magnus Bare
foot or Bareleg."
In the thirteenth century we seem to
have something like a first reference to
actual tartans in the statutes of the
church of Aberdeen, which provide that
''all ecclesiaSticS are to be suitably APP
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, Il
fabric of eastern origin, frequently

however, q true reference to tartan in
the same accounts in the following cen

an entry for ''iij. elnis of Heland tar

The Coating of Ironclads.

Nobody is foolish enough to pretend
that we can coat our ironclads external
ly with sealszin or with porpoise hide,
and undoubtedly we are at a great dis
advantage as compared with nature and
her living forms. Very possibly the
ultimate solution of this question may
be found in the application of some new
material altogether to the external coat
ing of our vessels. Compressed paper,
and compressed rance fiber, which are
now increasingly employed in America
for railway wheels and steam pipes,
would seem promising materials for
the purpose. They admit of being mold
ed externally into any minute grooves
or tiny overlapping plates, like the
scales of a fish.
Little or no extra expense will there
by be incurred, as an enormous hy
draulic pressure, capable of forming
any required surface, is already en-
ployed in the regular course of manu-
facture. Or they can just as easily be
nodded into rough shagreen, which
in form can be made facsimile pro-
duction of the skin Of the shark. And
by their tough and strong retentive
structure they would effectually pro-
tect the steel, or real skin of the vessel,
from corrosion by the salt water. But
all this is mere conjecture. Any such
suggestions which any man can pro-
pound will be nothing more than con-
lecture, SO long as we are content to re-
main in our present deplorable dark
ness and ignorance of the real govern
ing conditions of the problem. What we
most require is therefore light. Con

One of the best and fairest papers in

une. Time and again have it's columns
borne evidence of it's spirit of fairness
toward the "Brother in Black" that is
extremely gratifying. Last Sunday the
following editorial appeared which We
deem worthy of reproducing:
Every once in awhile some Southern
writer or statesman attempts to solve the
Afro American problem by proposing
the deportation of the whole Afro. Am.
,erican population of this country to
Africa. Absurd az the proposition is
froM practical standpoint, it 10 not
more absurd than the claim which is
made in it's support, that the presence of
the Afro. American in the South is
threat to the civilization of that section
he presence of the Afro American in
the Sruth is not threat to the ciyiliza-
ton Of the South, it is rather the hope
vt the S ,nth. In that section they have
separate schools for the two races, and
any visitor or soj ,urner cannot help
sobserelng that the Afro Americans take
much more interest," and pride in their
public schools than the whites do. TIE
rich people of the South, as rule, send
-tueirN children North to be educated.
Those who are fairly well-to-do .despise
the public schools and send their child
rem to private educational esta dish
anente, inAwhich the training is usually
shallow and superficial The white
public echoos therefore languish, and
the mass Of the white children who must
he pducated in them are very poorly
cared for. The school year is made very

'up TO date.

"a rule, are mich superior. They enlist
the servicee Of trained normal teachers.
