BoER "sLlMNEss."
A Useful Strain OF subtillty In Their
Temperament.

Temperament.
From "The Boer States, Land and
People," by A. H. Keane: There is in
the Boer temperament strain of sub
tlety, of what is called 'slimness,' Of
which they are themselves fully con-
scious. and on which they rely in their
political and social relations inter Sc
and with the outer world. The quali-
ty was acquired in colonial times UNI
der an administrative system highly
calculated to foster such a mental
twist, and it found ample field for It's
expansion when the Beers trekking
from the colony were able to set up
house for themselves on the inland
plateaus. IN studying their dealings
with the lower and higher peoples with
whom they have been in Gontjnyous
contact, this factor, usually ovtflbok-
ed, has to be steadily borne in mind,
both as danger to be guarded against
and as cue in forming just esti-
mate OF their deeds or misdeeds. Al
times they seem almost like irrespon-
sible beings-like the negro. non-moral
rather than immoral-capable of terri
BILE atrocities in their treatment of thu
heather and the 'Canaanites'; capable
of astounding duplicity in their nego-
tiations with the paramount power.
These things are often stigmatized in
strong language, being, after all,main-
ly due to mental obliduity Of vision,
which. however, has to be reckoned
with"

HAWAIrS FLAG.
Has tho White stripe Above the Red.
To the Natives Sorrow.

One morning in 1873 King Kane
hameha of the Sandwich islands
awoke to find French warship an
chored safely in the harbor of Homo
lulu. He became alarmed and sent
at once for his prime minister. He
was advised by him to run up g flag
and show the visitors that the coun-
try belonged to some one, and was
not mo mans land" to be pillaged
at will by the first foreigners who
came along. The king, needing the
advice, cast about him for piece
of bunting to represent his nation,
and fell upon an old British flag. This
he had run up to the top of his high
est fagpole. The bunting had hard
ly had time to unfurl itself to the
breeze when one of the chief advisers
of the king came running to him and
told him that he would have to take
that flag down, as the first thing he
knew, if he did not, an English man
of-war that was expected at the is
land would arrive, and the command
err. finding his nations colors flying
over Honolulu, would take possession
in the name of the queen. This fright
ened Kamehameha, and he started an
other hunt for flag. This time the
searchers unearthed an American en-
blem. Taking the two flags, the ruler
had them made into one. The jack
in the corner of the English emblem
was left, while the stripes of the
American flag were added to it. Thus
the Hawaiian flag at first had thir-
teen stripes and jack the same as
the English. The king, when he had
disposed of his French visitors, had
time to think over the matter. 1t was
decided that 1t would be better to
have only eight stripes, representing
the eight islands of the nation. The
extra pieces were cut off, leaving the
eight stripes, with white one at
the top. Soon after the adoption of
this flag, the whites, who had begun
to settle on the island, came more
and more into power each year, un-
til, as a result, the monarchy was
finally overthrown, and the republic
placed on a firm basis, with white
men at the head of the government.
The natives, who are superstitious,
believe the change in power from the
copper-colored people to the white is
directly due to the fact that the white
stripe is directly over the red in the
flag.
