ACTING IN
GOOD FAITH
That Is the Opinion
of Commission.
er Boyd.

Il have been on the ground and hare
Settlement Assoc la ton on Hawai- very
closely" said Land Commissioner r. e.
Boyd yesterday. Il am sa .isfied that
/ 1t il a bona fide association, and not an
attempt to get title to land to be used
for some purposes other than those Of
settlement. The men who form the
association, Samuel Kauhand, w. n
kauhane, the four Hayseldens, ]. H.
Waipulani and ]. II. and ]. II. &. Mar
tin are all personally known to me
They are ALL or nearly all, employed
on the plantation In the neig1borhool
and l think mean to go ana live Upon
the lands in the Kiolakaa, PuumahaA-
Paapahaku and Puuea districts when
they shall be granted to them.
1.-THE lands applied for are pastoral
lands. and the men applying for them
are all practical cattle men. The Kan
hanes have been In the cattle business
nearly all their lives. They ask for
the lands in tracts OF 100 and 200-acrs
tracts, and that il little enough for
grazing purposes. The land laws OF
the mainland provide for taking ~
acres. The men in this association, as
1 have said. are all practical cattle men
although some OF them are now en-
ployed on plantations. One of the Hay
seldens. Walter. think, Is now at work
as sugar boiler. "s
II believe that they will be able ito
comply with the terms OF the law, and
that they mean to do II in good faith,
and not to get possession of the land
for purposes o,ner than home making.
49, AlSa., at
acting In good faith. certainly their
petition will not be granted. Yos
must remember that do not act alone
noI of my own nUtion in granting ap-
plications for colonization under the
settlement association plan. Every
application is considered by all the
heads OF. the departments OF the gov
eminent, and u there Is shown the
least reason to doubt the bona fides 81
the applicants. their applications go by
the board.
Further than that, 1t is not the
choicest lands in the vicinity Of the
proposed settlement that the members
OF this association have asked for. They
want the pastoral lands. The ayri-
cultural areas the choicest parts OF ii,
have been reserved and are ooen to
there. There are twenty or twenty
one OF these choice lots, of from forty
to sixty acres, and none of these tracts
are included IN the settlement.
II am aware" continued Mr.. Boyd,
that the Settlement Association plan
can be abused. Men can go on and
form an association and get title tn
land that they do not intend to live
upon, purely for speculative purposes,
but those things are carefully watched,
the character OF the intending settler
Is looked into, and II there Is the least
reason for suspicion the applications
ere not granted In the case OF ;tis
particular agsocio don. the people OF the
Kau district have made no particular
objection 20 the application Certain
ly II there was anything wrong, it
would be known there.
Nobody wants &c get small farmers
on the land Ircre than 1 do. but my
department, while II is eager 10 help
along the work OF settling American
farmers here, must also meet the local
demand"

FOUND IN THE OCEAN,.
Remains of Prehistoric Animals, Sub
merged Forests and Much
Land refuse.

Along the British coast OF Cornwall
at low tide, wide areas of peat are eX-
posed, III which are found, partly ar
bombed, the remains of a submerged
forest and swamp. Trunks of oak trees
and acorns are dug up, mingled with
bones and horns of deer and the re-
mains of the great prehistoric elk; and
with them are found relics of a later
date in ancient British weapons and
Roman coins and implements, says a
scientific exchange. Here is a coal bed
in process of formation, of consolidation
and carbonization. The basin of the
ocean is a general dumping place for
the rivers of the land, hence in some
regions vast quantities of terrestrial
vegetation are found, by dredging, to be
strewn over the sea bottom, ever to the
depths of 200 fathoms and at distances
of several miles from land. In dredging
in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans Agas-
siz found much vegetable matter, such
as logs, branches, twigs, seeds, leaves
and fruits. In the peat beds we have
mentioned, into which probably ran
some of the ancient rivers of Cornwall,
considerable stream tin is sometimes
found, and instances are on record of
the horns of deer having been found
replaced by tin ore.

NEATNESS OF ANIMALS.
Some Instances of Refinement which
Smack Somewhat of II
Improbable.

NJ. Henri Coupin, a well-knoWn
French naturalist, draws attention to
the fact that animals as a rule are
wonderfully neat and far excel human
beings in this respect. 1t has taken
men, he says, several centuries to
learn the virtues Of neatness and,
cleanliness, whereas animals have ap-
parently always possessed them. AT
any rate, they were certainly the first
to use soap, sponges and tooth brushes.
From time ~immemorial," he con-
tinues, animals have cleansed them
selves, using their tongues as brushes,
their saliva as soap, their tails as tow
els and busters and their claws as
combs. Moreover, many of them take
a cold bath whenever they have an op-
as to boycott those among them who
do not take proper care of their bodies.
Another singular fact about the
apes is that those among them who
have handsome boards lever plunge
them recklessly into a river or pond,
but delicately sprinkle them with
water. Button had a chimpanzee who
always rinsed his mouth after drink
ing, and l have heard of a female
orang-outang who was an adept in the
use of a toothpick."
A lily after it is decapitated general
ly spends some seconds in brushing its
neck and shoulders with its legs, but
even the most Jealous advocates of
cleanliness will hardly claim that its
object in doing so is that it may pre-
sent a suitable ~post-mortem appear
ance.

GfrIish and Mannish America.

When it is here remarked that the
male American is declaring symptoms
of dawning effeminacy no occasion is
offered for indignant Reproduction. The
average American has so much thor
ough masculinity that he can spare
enough to dover a less vigorous peo-
pie. What is meant is that the natural
reaction to the paramountcy of the
American girl has set in. As she shares
the pursuits, the pleasures and the libor-
ties of her brothers and imposes her
commands upon them she becomes more
masculine, they more feminine; her
shoulders square off; theirs begin to
slope. She dons the sweater and blazer
and wears her skirts shorter and
shorter; they take to pink shirt waists
and clicked open work stockings, and
their ever baggier trousers, worn so long
that they have to be turned up at the
bottom, seem fashioned o. a seraglio
pattern.--N. Y. Mail and Express.

myself by testing the speed Of the

ments which gave different results, l
finally got what l believed to be a
good test of the cockroach's speed. l
alarmed the insect by a quick surprise
rap on the desk, and he cleared the
width of the desk, which is a little over
three feet, in a fraction more than a
second.
Il concluded that a yard a second
was a good estimate of the cockroach's
speed. That is not bad going, either,
You must remember, too, that these
insects do not fly. They run on legs,

most impossible for me to say whether
the roach was flying or running, it

feet a second is not bad speed for an
insect. 1t is about 1870 feet per min
ute, and in an hours time, at this rate
of speed, a cockroach will run about
10000 feet, or approximately two
miles. l suppose the durability of the
cockroach is limited, but while he goes
he goes like a flash.

CLOTH IN BOOK-COVERS.
All Cotton Fabric, Yet So Finely Fin
ished as to Resemble SILK
or Leather.

All of the cloth used in the binding
yet one would not say SO on seeing the
finished product. Some of it looks ex-
actly like coarse linen. Other styles
have an appearance of the finest kind
of finishes that look like leatheret,
canvas watered silk and a thousand
different designs, says a trade journal.
When the cloth comes from the
mills it is treated in various ways to
prepare it for the dying process, which
is the most important. Different
kinds of sizing are used in the different
grades, and after this is done it is
ready for the color machines.
These are really the same sort Of
machines that calico is made on. They
are built of great steel rolls or cams
that are heated to a high temperature
through them constantly. The cloth
passes through boxes filled with the
aniline color that the cloth is expected
to be colored with. This is mixed with
a starch paste and is spread evenly all
through the cloth.
The latter then continues through
the steam-heated cams and is finally
rolled up at the back of the machine
in a heavy roll of the desired color,
The different finishes are given in g
second process. The cloth is passed
through very heavy and massive steel
rolls which have been engraved with
the design that is wanted. Fine lines
running ~diagonally across the CLOTH
will give a silk effect, and there are
many other impressions that may bt
stamped on in this way.
The process is an expensive one ant
the resulting price of ne cloth is
rather high, running from 80 to g.
cents a yard. There are several artists
in the large cities of the country who
have begun to make a speciality of de
signing book covers on this cloth ant
they are able to make a good Twins
from their work If they are clever.

A Curious Fact.

A traveller writes: Il have often been
struck by the ease with which people in
southern Europe are amused. In Paris
100, 900 people go out to Lcngchamps
for the Grand Prix race and 500, 900 peo-
pie go out and line the roads on their
return to see them come back. In Rome
at the feast of the "Divino Amore" 5000
people go out on the Campaigna to a spot
where oncestood a temple to Venus and
hold a picnic, while $4,000 go out and
line the Appian way to see them re-
turn. In Madrid this popularity is even
more marked. On the Puerta del Sol
about 1000 people stand around and do
nothing outdoors, while crowds of peo-
pie sit indoors or lean firm balcnies to
watch them do it. And in Seville the idle
rich sit in clubs and cafes on the Sierpes

A HEDGE SCHOOL.
Native of IreIund's Vivid Description
of Their Seats of Learning in
Former Days.

Mrs. Elizabeth O'Reilly Neville, in
her recent volume OF Irish sketches.
Father Tom OF Connemara,' puts into
the mouth of an old Irishwoman q
vivid description of the hedge schools"
which so long afforded their only
chance for an education to the peasant
folk Of the ''distressful country" be-
fore the better days began.
"A hedge school, says Molly Null
laney, was a cabin protected by a
mountain and a hedge, and kept warm
by the sods Of peat carried by the
childher every morning undher their
arms. The hedge schools turned out
some good scholars, too.
Il niver learned anything, but that
was just M luck. | was always last,
and there was only one book to each
class, and that was passed round from
hand to hand when we stood up to
read; and before it reached me it was
always time to ate the dinners; and
whin we started again in the afther-
noon it was the same thing. Before
me turn came round it was time to go
home, for on account of the tree miles
of a lonely mountain road before me-,
l had to lave airly.
Il often fought she added, reflect
lively, that the master might have
started sometimes at the foot, to give
me a chance; but I suppose he niver
fought of it."
But you must have learned some
thing?"
II did. | larnt to make ten different
kinds of cats cradles wild the aid of
me knuckles and a stirring. | larnt
how many laves there was on a daisy,
and how many seeds in the heart Of
a wild strawberry, as well as how many
times I could skip to the beat of a
rope widout stopping, and how long |
could hould me breath undher water.
81 could swim like a duck and climb
like a goat. I knew where the blacklist
sloes and the reddest bottle-berries
grew; and how to tickle a boy n girl
in front of me wild a bunch of nettles
that would raise a blisther half an
inch high, just before their turn came
to read. And I knew how to run away
from the rache of the masters cane
when a complaint went in"
did your mother never find out?"
"She did in time; but what could she
do to a cripple?"
ooh, the master was a %cripple?"
can dye think any one but a cripple
would sit all day long and tache child
her, wild fish in the say widin a rod
of him waiting to be caught, and kelr
on the beach waiting to be gathered!
But he was a great tacher entirely. He
had the longest rache I liver knew, wild
a cane at the end of it."
