! a 4eeener.l ssttlement..

In. the rich spoil that the Hapsburss
accumulated over many centuries,
much Of which is coming back to the
nations that owned it, there is hardly
a more interesting item than the coro-
nation robes that Italy now proposes
to have returned to Palermo, Sicily.
Henry VI, emperor Of the Holy Roman
empire in-the twelfth century, subdued
the Sicilies and took back to Germany
the gorgeous costume that Saracen
artisans had made for Norman kings
who had come into control a MRdred
years earlier. Since then the robes
have been worn by Hapsburg mon
archs at their coronations, and OF late
years they have been kept, between
these ceremonial occasions, in the Inn
perial treasury in Hofharg, Vienna.
The robes include a. magnificent
mantle, wonderfully embroidered alb
or Tong gown of fine linen, and girdle
Of gold scales. As between Aslstria

MaLEkULaas NOT ALL BAD
PugpacIous South Pacific Islanders
Scrupulously Honest Though

rides, for the protection Of planters
against the natives brings some incl
dental information about peculiar
people with the undesirable fame of
being the most beliicose inhabitants:
of any island In the South Pacific.
MaIekula island has long been under
the Joint control Of France and Eng
land, and at intervals some display
OF force has been necessary to make
the islanders respect the local repre-
sentatives of more advanced civil
ization. Despite their reputation for
pugnacity, however, there is much, de
clares q recent writer, to be said for
the Malekulans. For one thing. they
are remarkably honest; the traveller
who goes among them knows that
however lie may fare aseregards per.

ever OF losing his personal property.
And If he. is careful not to irntate his
hosts, he is likely to come away with
pleasant memory OF the native Fil-
iage community, its discussions OF
community affairs IN a. kind Of village
forum, its dances, and its ehildren,s

He learns also that many OF the vii

that the islander, who Is also a crack

great satisfaction in belonging to 1t.
