A WELCOME TO A MONARCH.
Reception Given by Mayor COlvfn, al
Chicago, to King Kalakaua.

Reception Given by Mayor Colvin, OF
Chicago, to King Kalakaua.
Three men were discussing the pro-
priety of the call made by President Nc
Kinley upon President Dole. The dis
cussion brought out this story:
Il think old Harvey d. Colvin knew
how to do things when it came to enter
tanning folks from abroad, especially
hand-me-down-kings," said one of the
two. HE was mayor of Chicago when
kalakaua passed over the country in
search of a loan. Colvin was rough and
ready, and wore a shirt with ruffle
front and diamond in the middle,
which always made me think of bar
keeper on his day off. When the king
and his suite arrived in Chicago, Colvin
and his staff were at the station, and the
mayor took the king by the hand as
warmly as if the king had been ward
poi iciass--{f3s esrriages moved quick
ly to the Grand Pacific hotel. Clark
street was jammed with people clamor-
ing for the king to come out. The
hour was early in the day. At the re-
quest of Mayor Colvin, Kalakaua
stepped out on the veranda and bowed.
The populace, unused to sights of kings
in flesh, yelled. Mayor Colvin waved his
hand and shouted:
His majesty, the king of the Sand
wich islands,
The popula &c yelled, laughed, and
hooted. Then the mayor, remembering
the early hour, turned to his royal guest
and said:
Well, king, you must be tired Bet
ter go and wash up and then we'll have
breakfast"

HOSTILITY TO EDUCATION.
The English Are Oppcsed to the
Teaching of Servants.

The English Are Oppcsed to the
Teaching OF Servants.
An American visitor to England who
spends some little time in the country,
says j. n. Larnew, in the Atlantic, can
hardly fail to become conscious of three
serious facts: O That there is a
strong gclass-feeling against much educa-
ton for those who are looked on as un-
derlings and servants-a feeling more
prevalent and more pronounced than the
shamefaced sentiment of like mean
ness that is whispered in some snobbish
American circles. (2) That the school
rate" seems to be the most begrudged
of English taxes, the most sharply criti-
cised, the most grumbled at; and this
to degree for which there seems moth
ing comparable in America. (3) That
the opposition to secular schools, fos-
tered by the church and ostensibly
actuated by desire for religious in
struction in the schools, is largely sup
ported in reality by the two sentiments
indicated above. Looking, there
fore, to the increasingly democratic
conditions that are inevitable in Eng
land, the reluctance and factiousness of
disposition that appear among its citi-
zens touching the vital matter of popu-
lar education are ominous of evil to the
nation, and gravely lessen it's chances
of holding, under the reign of democ-
racy, the high place to which it rose
under the aristocratic regime.

LOOK OUT FOR A STRAY MOON.


Round Black Body 6OO, 900 Miles Away
Wanted by an Astronomer.
American astronomers are requested
to keep their eyes open for stray
moon, which DR.. Waltemath, of Ham,
burg, is anxious to find again. His OBJ
ject, says the New York Sun, is to ac-
count for and control certain irregular
tiles in coming to time on the part of
the old moon that we are accustomed to
see. He knows exactly what sort of
moon he wants and where it ought to
be. Its apparent diameter is lao Sec
onds, but it's real diameter is 42O miles,
its surface about one-twenty-ifth and
its bulk one-eightieth that of the visi-
BILE moon, and it is 615,6O0 miles distant
from the earth, and two and two-thirds
times as far as our moon.
This little moon has been seen num-
Der of times in the last 800 years. Dur
ing the seventeenth century it ap-
peared as fiery red ball with white
streak across it. Later observers de-
scribe it as of the dark gray color of the
spots on the moon, and as round,
black body, so that it had probably
cooled off in the interval. Cassini, the
father, saw it at Montpelier November
z, 100. and seven other appearances are
noted in that century. DR.. Ritter, a
Hanover school-teacher, saw it with the
naked eye in broad daylight in the
neishborhood of Naples June IL, 1855.
1t crossed the sun from right to left.
Mr.. Convey saw it at North Lewisburg,
O., September 4, 1879. None of the OBJ
servers had any idea of it's true nature,
however, till DR.. Waltemath made his
discovery.
February 8 of this year the little
moon passed over the sun, and it will
do it again July so. It's mean synodic
course is 177 days, and it's daily mo-
ton little over three degrees. Any
one noticing its wanderings will please
inform DR., George Waltemath at Ham,
burg-on-the-Elbe.

A vERITABLE SAINTS REST.
yilitla District In Mexico Free from
Locked Doors and Thieves.

Locked DOOfS anu In1eVeB.
"If a person wishes to see an ideal
saints rest" said L. A. Downing, to
Chicago Chronicle man, she should visi,
the Xilitla district of the Mexican re.
public. The people there belong to the
Huastecos tribe of Indians. They are
said to have bten among the bravest
opponents of Cortez. They are clean,
honest and industrious. No doors are
locked in Xilitla. Coffee planters go
away and leave gems and all manner of
personal property in their houses, but
lose nothing.
"When l call the Huastecos industri-
Gus the Huastecan standard of industry
must be borne III mind. Four days there
make a week of labor. The Indian does
that four days. work for one dollar. If
he were paid two or four dollars he
would work only four days, and arch
aeologists suppose this custom to have
come from the habits of the ancient
people. The dollar is paid in advance
en- Sunday. Payment insures the deliv-
cry of the four days work before Satur
day night. If the work is not done the
Indian is defaulter in the hghtof local
laws, and is thrown into Jail. On Sun
day Xilitla has a population of 5000,
but on Monday not 200 Indians are
found in town. The others are out on
the plantation. Their day commences
with daylight and is kept up as long as
they can see. In that latitude there are
sbout 16 hours of daylight, so that the
;eborers put in about Ga hours of labor
as against "a hours customary in the
United States"

SAWDUST EXPLOSIONS.
The Ottawa River In the Scene Of
Queer Upheavals.

The Ottawa River In the Scene Of
Queer Upheavals.
Who ever heard of sawdust explo-
sions? They are common enough in
Canada. Navigation on the Ottawa
river has been seriously impeded at
times by explosions of sawdust, and
the Dominion government has at last
decided to take steps to prevent any
practice which will enhance the posi-
bility of these explosions taking place.
One would hardly suppose that saw
dust dumped into the river would in
course of time reform itself into a
gas generator which would keep the
surface of the stream in a constant
state of upheaval. But it is true to
such an extent that small boats have
been capsized and large vessels have
been injured by the submarine convul-
sions.
covered with deep layer of sawdust
dumped there by the lumbermen who
have carried on their log cutting in
dustry on its banks and tributaries for
years. The dust becomes water-soaked,
sinks to the bottom, and in the course
of time, rots and generates highly
explosive gas. The water rises to the
surface, each bubble being joined or
REINFORCED by other bubbles on the
way up. Contact with air seems to be
as destructive as touchfire to this gas,
and the moment the surface is reached
it explodes with loud report. Leg
islation may in time do away with the
but even if no more saw
dust is thrown into the stream, hence
forth the millions of tons already there
will take long time to work off their
gas-generating qualities.

Honesty in the Empire CITY.

The proprietor of one of Manhattan's
most fashionable hostelries ordered
$1,000 worth of table silverware the
other day. When the goods were de-
livered he refused to take them at any
price, as the name of the hotel had
been stamped upon them. He explained
his strange action by saying that people
often dine at the house only to take
away knives, forks and spoons as
souvenirs. "If the name of the hotel is
not on them," he said, "they leave them
alone, for their only reason in dining
here is to steal these stamped goods
and show them to their friends to prove
that they are in the habit of patronizing
fashionable hostelries."

American Type.

American type, although so per cent.
dearer, than English, is used in half the
display work in Indian printing offices,
which an Anglo-Indian publisher says
sis hardly to be wondered at when each
mail brings beautifully printed pros
pectuses from America, while the print
er is hardly aware that an English type
founder or machine manufactures
exists, unless he subscribes to trade

John Ruskin, the English art critic,
once criticised in his fearless way a
picture of we'll known painter, who
was very much gr1eved at the effect,
Later, on hearing of the sorrow he
had caused, he wrote to the artist that
he regretted that be could not speak
more favorably of the picture, but
hoped it would make no difference in
their friendship. The artist, it is said,
wrote in reply the following note:

will make no difference in our friend
