' .' HAWAII’S QUEER FLAG.
._._a._....
The Design Taken from the American and
British Banners.
All histories that are printed of the
Hawaiian Republic fail to tell of the
interesting story connected with ‘the
adoption- of the flag‘o-f country. The
incident bears not a little romance
and shows in a..way the ingenuity of
the natives. - The adoption of the em-
blem dates back about twenty-five
years, when the country was still a
monarchy and King Kamehameha II
was on the throne. The country was
continually visited by the warships of
the different nations of the world and
the ruler of the Hawaiians had a. diflio
cult time to keep his little land from _
being seized by some foreign power.
The story is handed down by poster?
lty. The exact date of the occurrence
is not known, though it was in the
year 1873. The King of the “key to
the Pacific" awoke one morning to find
a. French warship anchored safely in
the harbor of Honolulu. He became
alarmed at the prospect of a. conquest,
and sent at once for his Prim-e Minis-
ter. He was advised by ‘him to run
up a. flag and show the visitors that-
the country belonged to someone and
was not a ‘fno man’s land,” to be pill-
aged at will by the first foreigners who
came along. The King, heed-lug the
advice, cast about for a piece of bunt-
ing to represent his nation, and fell
upon an old British flag. This he
had run up to the top of his; highest
flagpole.
The bunting had hardly had time to
unfuri 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 ex-
pected at the island would arrive, and,
:he commander finding his nation’s
:olors flying over Honolulu, would take
possession in the name of the Queen.
l‘his frightened Kamehameha, and he
atarted another hunt for a. flag‘ This
sime the searchers unearthed an Afir-
lcan emblem.
Taking the two flags, the ruler had
:hem made into one. The jack in the
:orner of the English emblem was left,
while the stripes of the American flag
were added to it. Thus the Hawaiian
flag at first had thirteen stripes and a.
iack the same as the English. The
King, when he ‘had disposed of his
French visitors, had time to think
over the matte'r. It was decided that
It would be better to have only eight
stripes, representing the eight islands
1f the nation. The extra pieces were
mi of, leaving the eight stripes, with
1 white one on top. The jack still
carries the St. George's cross, the St.
Andrew's cross and the St. Patrick’s
arose, the same‘as't‘he English.
Soon after the adoption of-t-his—fizg
:he whites, who had begun to settle
on the lsland.-came~more-a'nd more
into power each year until, as a result.
:he monarchy was finally 'overthrown
1nd the republic placed on a firm basis,
with white men at the head of the gov-
1rnment.
atltious, believe the change in power
from the copper-colored people to the
whites is directly due to the fact that
the white stripe is directly over the
red in the flag. They say that had
the red been first the whites would
never have gained foothold on the is-
Land sufficient to warrant their taking
the reins of the government in their
hands.
As, a result of this superstition the
Legislature. of Hawaii scarcely ever
meets but what some new bill to
:hange the position of the stripes on
the flag is brought up. The wisest of
:he men among the natives are kept
toast-antly at work on the drawing up
of such measures, and their members
in the congress are every busy trying
to put the bills through. The belief
is that as soon as the order of the
stripes is changed, the red having the
preference, the copper-colored natives
will again ascend to the power and
have full sway in the government.—

,Where Needle. Are Made.
English needles are now sold all over
the world, but their manufacture, af-
ter being kept secret for many years,
was taught to us in 1650. by Christo-
pher Greening. At ‘Redditch alone
twenty thousand people make more
than one hundred million needles in a
year, and. as they are made and :ex—
ported so cheaply
val in the industry, and to all intents
and purposes monopolizes the trade.
In the old’days needle-making killed
tens ofthousands of operatives owing
to their inhalation of fine particles of
steel, but an invention by 'which an
air-blast drives away the filings from~
the grindstone, has removed this dan-
ger, and the occupation has in conse-
quence become absolutely safe. One
of the most interesting of the pro«
cesses in needle—making is the drilling
of the eye, and it is the boast in one
factory that one of the drillers is so
expert that he can perforate a hair
and thread it with itself. Another
very interesting fact in connection
with the industry is that whilst all the
ordinary needles used in America are
supplied by Great Britain, nearly all
the sewing-machine needles used in
Great Britain come from America. '
Why Rain Falls.
The reason why rain falls is that
whenever warm, vapour-laden air ar-
rives in positions 1» new it gets rapidly
chilled, the vapor falls through the cold 'l
air to the earth, cold air being unable
to support 'as much floating vapor as
warm air. A hundredth part of a grain
of aqueous vapor over the amount that
the air will support is sufficient to
cause rainfall. Any chill will produce
rain. It occurs when a moist ,warm
wind blows in from the ocean upon cold
stietches of land, where dense vapor-
laden winds aie pressed up the Slopes
of abruptly-Using hills, and whenever
warm ocean winds are mingled with
cold blasts in the various movements
of the atmOSphexe. Even a cold dry
wind may bring on rain, if it blows
suddenly upon mass of warm and

The Triple Cape.
The triple cape promises to be very
popular this season. Besides being a
very handy garment’ it has a natty,
stylish appearance. These capes are
made quite short, barely reaching to
the elbow.
An attractive model of tan smooth
faced cloth has each cape outlined with
a narrow cording. Three rows of
stitching is also. employed for a trim-
ming. The capes could be either lined
with silk or for summer wear it would
be better to merely face the edges.
The hat worn with this cape of black
straw has 3. rolled brim and is turned
up at the left side and trimmed with
three tips and an aigrette.

' ' N'IE CUBAN BLOODHOUNDS.
They Were Introduced Into the South to
Hunt Slaves.
The first Cuban bloodhounds landed
upon this continent were imported two
hundred years ago by Spanish planters
of Louisiana, then Spanish territory.
We all know what the dons were about
1700: Negroes were cheaper then, and
if a slave gave trouble it did not much
matter that the bloodhound’s hold up-
on his throat was broken only by the
tearing of the flesh and tendons. Many
times in those days the fugitive negro
did not live after his capture. If he .
succeeded in gaining-a. tree,‘his olive-
skinned masters shot him out as they
would a. squirrel. If on the ground
when caught the dogs killed him,
sometimes before the arrival of the
horsemen, who had ridden hard to be
in at the death.
The Cuban hound was a valuable
dog, and he was well treated. In some
of the old court records of Louisiana
are bills of sale of him. In instances
the prices ran as high as $800 a. pair.
The breed spread all thrOugh the south,
although I have never heard of the
dogs being used as man hunters in the
upper tier of southern states. I doubt
that one has ever been laid upon the
trail of a. negro in Virginia, North Car-
olina or Maryland.
As a matter of course, the planters
of this century were reful to protect
their slaves as far as possible from at-
tacks by the animals. This was an-
erally easy. The runaway slave in~
variably made for the swamp at the
back of the plantation. It contained
many streams and lagoons, which aid-
ed vhim in throwing the dogs off the
scent. If the worst came to the worst
he could always climb a. tree.
The bloodhound is now used onlyvin
the pursuit of criminals. Every south-
ern penitentiary has a. brace or more
of them. They are not infrequently a
part or the sheriff’s outfit. The breed
is not always pure, but the dogs serve
their purpose bet-ter than fairly well.
Their keenness of scent is one of the
most remarkable things in nature,
though it is of value chiefly in the more
thinly settled region. It seems incred-
ible that the mere temporary pressure
of a. man’s boot or shoe upon the
ground should leaVe a traceable scent
for twenty-four hours, providing- that
there has been no rain, but there is
no doubt that it does. Sometimes in,
the south a. murderer breaks jail. -Un- ~
' til the universal introduction of chilled
steel cages this was not a difficult mat-
ter. Dogs are telegraphed for at a. dis-
tance probably of 150‘ miles. They ar-
rive a day after the escape. They are
led in leach. to the point where the
criminal is supposed to have made his
exit and uncoupled.- They take ,up
the scent instantly and follow Sit rap-
idly. The man must have crossed
much water or confused his trail with
the hurrying footsteps of dozens of
others to throw them off. Always sup-
posing that twenty-four hours isthe
extreme limit of “law” allowed the
fugitive, the blood'hounds are the best
means of effecting his capture. Hav‘
ing far to travel, the: do not bay. They
have no breath {“0 waste.
In the first canto of “The Lady of
the Lake,” Scott remarks that “the
deep-mouthed bloodhound’s mellow
bay rescunded up the rocky way.” That
was the English bloodhound. The
English blood-hound, or the bloodhound
of the continent for that matter, not
only bays, but has a. remarkably sonor-
ous and beautiful voice. He “opens,"
as it is technically -,termed upon a .-
cold trail and keeps it up until the
quarry is sighted or run down. .
He is of great size, with deep chest,
powerful shoulders, massive head,
drooping jaws and long ears, 3. re—
markably sagacious and affectionate
animal, courageous, though not es-
pecially savage, and one of the best
friends man ever had; This hound is
known in the old prints as the “sleuth"
bound, or “slot" hound, taken from the
old “sleuth” or “slot”—otherwise
“~trail”—of the deer. He is called the
bloodhound, not because he is partic—
ularly fond of blood as a. matter of
diet, but because, having once found
the blood-trail of a wounded animal,-
he follows it wit-h'wonderful stanch-
ness. He will, in fact, unless taken
off by force, follow it until he drops,'
and rising will stagger along until he
falls again.
The English bloodhound is not used
in the south. That is where Mrs.
Stowe’s error was made. The dog
there is the Cuban bloodhound. He
differs materially from his English
cousin. He is larger, fiercer and swift.
er, with more of a bulldog out about
his head. He is probably a descend-
ant of a bull cross. He is invariably
mute until his quarry is sigh-ted. Al-
- most any dog will give tongue when he
comes within view of the object of his
pursuit after a long chase. This dog
is not a snapper, as is the. English. He
is a pinning dog, which comes probably
from his bull strain. Once his teeth
are locked, they can be disengaged only
by the ingenious method of grasping
his nostrils and shutting off his breath.
