The feelijp of nationality, even when it asserts itself in a very small field, is the tame feeiin'at bot tom as that which we admire in the case .of Germany or Italy, and always rieeds to be taken into account. I.ut there" are two considerations which prevent even those who i tnpalhi.e w ith the demand for Irish Lome rule from drawinp any lessons fr. .in tin constitution of Man. The first is the character of that constitution itself. The house of keys, thouph it has been allowed a voice in the disposition of a certain part of the public revenue, is very far indeed from controliinp the purse-strinps; the upper house, or council, possesses coordinate authority with it, and seven out of the cipht memlwrs of the council are nominated by the crown, while the povernor. a nominee of the Iinjrlish ministry, pos-s-essej, a ripht of veto which he Would Hot hesitate to it sc.

Author rrovrrasiag l:a-ktrarel Ktrtdiiy in the Matter of ( birofrraph y. It is true that handwriting is grow ing worse and worse all the world over. This is the statement of Mr. Jackson in his "Theory and Practice of Hand writing.". Official reports seem to con firm Mr. Jackson's belief. On the ether hand, as pe.inted out by the Dos ton News, person- of considerable ex perience in reading literary manu script and examination pape-rsof the higher rders can hardly cprecwith him. As a rule, the manuscripts eif novels and of examination papers are h-gible and even rather pleasing. The exceptions are scarcely 4 per cent, in examination papers; in novels an au thor fixilishly sends in a mere rough draft, with erusions and additions tacked on by pins or waste ends of postage-stamp paper. Put these exam ples of handw riting are the work, ex cept as regards many novels, of rather biphly-edueated persons, and they throw no light on the hands of people far from literacy. The letters of serv ant girls and of other people w ithout aspirations to culture are often penned in excellent and characte-ristic hands, and, on the whole, we elo not think that the age writes ill, as a general rule'. Naturally people who have to write great quantities of "copy" for the press or for other purposes find their hands, if Uoman and fine at first, gradually disarpearing in scrawl tlue to fatigue. A number of popular and prolific authors are suffering from writers' cramp." and their hands must have lx-en elepencrating ia the propress of the malady. To do the work with the minimum of fatipue is the author's eibjee't and certainly it seems as if the men and women with the most slovi'nly hands suffer least from writer." cramp. Mr. Jackniii, however, thinks that writing is very bad. that its ha Iness is due to bad teaching, pr imise-uously selected models (he prefers examples em the blackboard to headlines) and, above all. the error is in sloping as opposed to perpendicular or vertical writing. The natural man, he thinks, sits up right to his work and would write per pendicular, but for the prevalence of sloping copies. From these comes the habit f sprawlinp sideways at the elesk and that habit is bad for the eyes, bad for the spine, bad for discipline in the schxil (as it facilitates tf ttiing), and, finally, bad for the- handwriting. The slope keeps on running down hill till it loses itself in an indecipherable scrawl. NOTHING RAN IN THAT TOV.'N. Alexandria, Va Ak here Kver.rthlng lla Item Dead Mac the War.

That nation ciuiaicd it on the i trenpth eif Pal'.x'a's discov ery in !.")l:-.. n::d in.-'kted that it should be regarded as a mare clausuni. When Sir Francis Drake circumnavigate.! the globe Lis sailing !eross th-.'se waters was r.i'i i-us!y resented by Spain, which ilcmandel restitution to her of the plunder he took, hut Ju.vn Elizabeth made a haughty reply. Not longlx'fore the clo-e of tha la..t centu-y thj Span ish crown again Logan to make a fuss lH.-cuu.--e its monopoly of the Paeilie was infringed oo. It ordered the coi:i raaniuute of San I'raaci.sco toseirc the Colurabia. the iir.-.t vessel that carried the American flag' around C:'pc Horn. In IT i'l t ..'o s"p:tiiL! me n-of-war seized several Engli.-h fur traders on the northwest eoa-t ar.d war was Ve-ry nearly the result. It is odd that the Spaniards, though discoverers eif new lands unj water, were among the poorest navigators of their time. After coming upon tho Solomon islands they could not find them again, and they were lost for onj hundred and fifty y urs. The w xter supply e.f their gal leons was not kept in casks, but in big carth?n j::rs. As it was impossible to provide a tuiiicient supply for a six n.or:th'.' voyage on board of a ship o;:r ry'utg four hundred or live hundred people they always took to s:c:t pre::t. numbers of mats. Whenever it rained the nuts were spread to cnteh th? drops, which were elrained oil into jnrs through split bamboos. The mortal ity from scurvy on long trips was frightful. Cortes, after the conquest of Mexico, fitted out three small ships to sail to the Me luccas and rvenforee the Spaa-' iurds there. They were scattered by a. tempest aud two of them were lost. One of these is imagined to have lx-en the strange vessel which was wrecked em the rocks of Hawaii aliout th- same time as nearly as can be reckoned. According to tradition only the captain aad his sdsterwere saved. The natives received them kindly and gave them f'Xxl. They intermarried with the Ilawaiians aad became the progenitors of certain well known families ef chiefs. In early times the control of land on the Hawaiian islands was held by the ruling chicks w ho resi'rved what portion they pleased for their own use and divided the rest among the leading men subject to them. The position of . the latter was analogous to that of the barons of European feudalism. They furnished supplies to their sovereign cud in case of war were expected t take the field with what fighting men their estates could furnish. These Larons held almost despotie sway over their elnniains, apportioning the terri tory which they controlled among the followers according to the whim of the momert or the demand of policy. Evcry time a rewchie-f came into powerther was a fresh distribution of lands. Thus the country was always fall ef people who were di.spos.'scd and homeles. Kamchameha III. over turned this system by granting to his people a bill of rights w hich made their tenure of the soil permanent. The i'lrst l'hotosraph.
