Paris In the Fourth Century.

found myself one winter in my dear
Lutetia (thus do the Gauls name the
city of the Parisii). It occupies an isle
in the middle of river; bridges connect
it with the two. banks. Rarely does the
river increase or diminish; such as it is
in the summer, so it remains In the
winter; they willingly drink the pure
water which sparkles SO gayly before
ones eyes. As the PARISH live on an
island, it would be difficult for them to
procure other water. The temperature
of winter is mild, owing, say the people
of the country, to the warmth of the
ocean, which, not being distant more
than 900 stadia, sends warm air as
far as Lutetia; the sea water is in fact
less cold than the fresh water. For this
reason, or for another which | do not
know of, things are thus. The winter
there is very soft to the inhabitants OF
this land. The soil bears good vines. The
PARISH even possess the art of growing
figs by incasing them as with a garment
in barley straw and by using other
means of which they avail tn selves
to shelter the trees from the inclemency
of the weather. ''The Roman

Honest Sweden.

The Swedes are punctiliously honest
and truthful. When asking for places at
a theater, for instance, the ticket clerk
never fails to inform the applicant if,
owing to the crowded state of the house,
a better position would be secured with
cheaper ticket than the one asked for.
Again, when parcels are taken out by
steamers from Stockholm to country
places in the neighborhood, they are
just thrown on to the quay, where they
frequently remain half the day without
being claimed. 1t never. seems to occur
to any one that they could be possibly
taken by any one but their rightful
owners.
On a canal trip of any length a little
book lies IN the saloon of the steamer i'll
which each passenger keeps his own &C
count Of the number of meals and
drinks that he has taken during the
Journey.

The most sensational occurrence OF
holiday week in official circles was
Commissioner Evans wholesale de-
nunciation of pension attorneys, OF
izing feature of the pension attorney
is worse than the most pestiferous
'varmint' that ever invaded hen
roost. If there are frauds on the
pension rolls they have been planted
there by the pension attorney. There
are good men engaged in the pension
attorney business, but the majority
of them remind me of that beautiful
bird that sails through the air so
gracefully, but which the laws pro-
hibit killing. The government has
continued to pay pension attorneys
for soliciting business for thirty years.
Enough of this has been done. A law
should be enacted that in future no
fee should be paid to any attorney
or claim agent for any claim filed for
pensions. That would put an end
to the pension scand ais" Mr.. Evans
added to his attack on the pension
attorneys by stating that several Of
his predecessors in the Office of Com
missioner of Pensions had entertained
the same feelings towards them. The
pension attorneys will fight back, but
it will not be done as openly as this
attack on acknowledgment Core

pennsylvania Wide Tire Law.

The attorney general Of Pennsylvania
gave the following opinion as to one Of
the provisions of the wide tire act
t'The evident purpose of this legislation
was to prevent as far as possible the use
Of narrow tires and wagons upon which
heavy loads were carried and to en-
courage the use of wide tires to the end
that the roads should be injured as little
as possible. - He is of the opinion, how
ever, that farmer whose draft wagons
carrying 1900 pounds or more and who
has them equipped with four inch tires
and uses no wagon with narrower tire
for the purpose of carrying 2, 900 pounds
or more brings himself within the pro-
visions of this act and is entitled to the
rebate of one-fourth of the assessed high
TOW
Antiquity of Soap.
Soap is not modern invention. It is
twice mentioned in the Bible, first in
Jeremiah and again in Malachi. History
tells us that more than 2, 900 years ago
the Gauls manufactured it by combining
beech tree ashes with goats fat.
A few years ago a soap boilers shop
was discovered in Pompeii, having been
buried beneath the terrible rain of ashes
that fell upon that city in 70 A. D. The
soap found in the shop had not lost all
of it's efficacy, although it had been bur-
led ], 300 years. At the time that POM
peii was destroyed the soapmaking bust
mess was carried on in several of the
Italian cities.
Pliny the elder speaks of soap, and
says that because it's price was SO high
many substitutes were used, among
them kind of glutinous earth and fine
sand mixed IN the juice of certain plants
that made lather.
AS early as 700 A. D. there were
many soap factories in both Italy and
Spain, and about 750 A. d. the Pheni-
clans introduced the business into
France, the first factories hsing estab-
lished at Marseilles.

WHAT Is AT HAND.

That the Commissioners who come
here from Washington had very clear
ideas of the lines upon which the new
government for these Islands should
be laid down, goes without saying. it
was but natural that the Commission
ers should take the advice of so great
statesman as President Mckinley
before coming here and have to a
great extent the main plans for the
future blocked out. The Star has
learned somewhat of these plans.
That our municipal government
will be on the lines of decentralization
is very evident The term municipal
will extend more widely than else
where. Thus the municipality of
Honolulu will include the Island of
Oahu; the municipality of some par
ticular spot on Kauai will include the
whole of that Island, and for Maui
and Hawaii similar plans, though the
municipalities might divide those Is

franchise for these will be unrestrict-
ed as soon as the citizenship is decid-
ed. This is one of the main ideas,
though of course such ideas are sub
iect to modification, and the whole is
subject to the approval of Congress.
With regard to the higher officers
they are at present intended to come
direct from the mainland. AS one
of the members of the Commission
says the country must be thoroughly
Americanized and can only be Ameri-
canized by born and bred Americans,
whose ideas have been formed among
American institutions, and whose eX-
perience has been gained on the main
land among its many diverging inter
ests. We shall have good men. The
Presidents idea is to have the best
but they will be Americans. pur sang

column.

The members of the Congressional
Commission certainly do not let any
grass grow under their feet. Those
people who thought that the Com
mission had only come to have a
pleasant stay on the Islands and to
see the sights. are beginning to I'M
derstand that the Senators and the
Congressman are here for business
and nothing else. They are anxious
to get through their work so as to be
able to draw up their report in time
for the meeting of Congress. The
sitting of the information they re-
eeive will take some little time, but it
is very evident that they eliminated
unnecessary details as matters are
presented. The questions propounded
yesterday were all strictly to the
point and served to get rid at once of
certain specious arguments.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-09-01

zens BY the fact of their becoming
Hawaiian citizens they renowned all
claims upon the country of their
birth, and they must accept what the
United States chooses TO give them.
The United States can give them the
citizenship if she chooses, or she can
make them go through the probation-
AIRY period, which all foreigners have
to go through before they can become
citizens.
The subject is of immense import
ance to others besides Chinese, but
one thing seems very clear, that it
should be distinctly made plain that
aliens who have naturalized here We're
citizens of this country and did not
have sort of divided allegiance
which made them the wards of the
country of their birth, while they
claimed to be citizens of this.
