Scotland's National Continue 1'nrtlally Derived from tlio Ancients. In spite of claymores ami royal edict the Scottish kilt nnd dim tartan hUII remains, the costume of rmrtlculnr bcc tldns of the Highland country. The present form of tho kilt dates back no farther tlmn John Lord, of Clavrr house, who caused tlio Highlanders to form the initfo plaids (which thoy wound round their bodies In n plcturesfiuo fnslilon, ns tho natives of India do to this day) into tho most commodious kilt, with plaid for chest, hack nnd shoulders. It seems lieyond doubt that tho orlfflnnl costumo of tho Highlanders was of tho abovo prlml tlvo description. Whoever Invented tho kilt preserved the plcturcsquo appearance, whllo gaining decidedly In convenience. Tho fashion of "kilting," I. c., forming n textile fabric in rt number of close, llai plaits, dates back in tho dim past, for In many sculptures of the ancient ncoplo of the cast nnd of Kgypt wo find evidenco that the plaiting of linen and woolen fabrics was recognized by tho modistes nnd tailors of thousands of years ago; but tho short, tnnny-plnttcd kilt of Kcotlnnd was a spontaneous modification of n really national cos tume. For lnds nnd boys few costumes nre at once so picturesque nnd yet so manly as the short kilt, with jacket, sporran, skein dhuo nnd feathered cap. The plnld, with which both men nnd women of the Highlands clothed them aolrcs, was from time immemorial woven with nntivc-dyed wool into curi ous patterns of colored lines, forming various squares, so that the tartan ia a genuine outcome of tho primitive instincts of tribal pride, which dates to tho dimmest past. No doubt tho difference of elan tartans was originally due to geographic al and local circumstances; for tho women who spun the wool from the native flocks dyed it with natural dye stuffs of tho neigh borhoodthe berries nnd bnrk of trees growing wild on the mountain sides'. And to tills fact, no doubt, was due the peculiarity that n Cumplcll should ap pear in green and black with a yellow line, nnd a Trazcr in bright rd with green, gray and white lines. The advantages of this outward dif ference in the tribal nppearuncc must have onrly becomo npj)arent,nndinaus would naturally have been adopted to enhnneo the peculiar differences of clan tnrtans, so ns to give a manifestly dissimilar nppearuncc to men of ench clan. This design, thanks to the deft ! fingers nnd clever brains of the women j folk, was so successfully nehluved that i soon each clansman wns transformed inlo a walking emblem of discord should ho vcntuie beyond tho borders j of his own tribal domain. Hence fairs and other functions, whore mn of different localities met and mingled, soon became more t or less gory battlefields, for each man regarded an opposing tartan in tho same light no a savage bull looks upon a red rag. The wearer of tho green and red striped turtnn was seized with a wild desire to make a holo through the blue and yellow striped plaid, to the manifest discomfort of Its wearer. It became bo popular a pastime this Blashlng of opposing tartaus with clay mores and bkcin dhucs that at last a paternal government, sending fortli Its edlots from St. .lumes palace, made it u penal olTcnso to wear tartans in tho Highlands of Scotland. It was not long obeyed. And re sumption of the eustom brought more pronounced coloring and more numer ous variations. Some of tho tartans seem to have been specially designed to bet tho heather on Are. Such is that all the MacduiTo (to which clan the Princess Victoria of Wales has been united by marriugo with the duko of Flfo), which is red with far apart bars of black and green. Tho Mnelles' tur tan is ulso bright red, with broad, very far apart bands of green and bmall lines of white, tho Mncgregors having another nlarming combination of the kind. The Maclcod tartan is a most trying arrangement of bright yel low with broad tight black thread band, forming black spots where they cross, and thin red lines; while quite as bad is tho light yellow nnd bright red of the Mncmillans, und tho eccen tric complication of white, blue, bluek nnd red of the Ogllvles. Some of the tartans are reserved for tho chief of the elan and his heir, or, at all events, hs family ulono. Chiefs of the Highland clans sport twoeagles' feathers in their caps and their sons a single eagle's feuther. Tho armorial or crested brooch on the shoulders wus not only used to fasten tho plnld, but to hold tho elan badgo, a sprig of some natlvo shrub, such na tho wild thyina and holly of tho Drummonds, the broom of the Forbes nnd MacKuys, the wild myrtle nnd club moss of the Campbells, ivy of tho Gordons and juniper of tha Maclcods.

Fnvr In Numbers, but I)iniRrrou, Desper ate, Determined Men. 1 have In my possession n detailed no count of tho temper of parties In Kn gland, drawn up In tho year 1B85, threw years before the Armada came. Tho writer was n distinguished Jesuit. Tho account itself wns prepared for tlio uso of tho popo and Philip, with n special view to the reception which an invnd Ing forco would meet with, and It goes Into great detail. The pcoplo of tho towns London, ISrlstol, etc. were, ho says, generally heretics. The peers, the gentry, their tenants, and peas nntry, who formed tho Immeso minori ty of tho population, were almost uni versally Catholics. Hut tho writer dis tinguishes properly among Catholics. Thero were tho ardent, impassioned Catholics, ready to bo confessors and martyrs, ready to robel at tha first opportunity, who had re nounced their nlleglencc, who de sired to overthrow Elizabeth nnd put the queen of Scot In her place. Tho number of those, ho says, was dully in ereaslng, owing to tho exertions of tho seminary priests; and plots, he boasts, were being continually formed by them to murder tho queen. There wcro Catholics of another sort, who were papal at heart, but went with the times to save their property; who looked forward to n change In tho untural order of things, but would not stir of themselves till an invading army actually appeared. But all alike, ho insists, were eager for a revolution. Let the prince of Parma oonao, nnd they would all join him; and togother theso two classes of Catholics made thrco-fourths of the nation. "The only party," ho says (and this is reolly noticeable), "tho only party that would fight to death for the queen, tho only real frlonda she had wore the Puritans (It Is tho first men tion of the name which I have found), tho Puritans of London, tho Puritans of the sea towns." Those, ho admits, wcro dangerous, desperate, determined men. The numbers of them, however, were providentially small. 'The date of this document is, as I said, lfi8:, nnd I beliovc it generally accurate. Tho 'only mistake is that among tho Anglican Catholics there wcro n few to whom their country was 1 as dear as their creed a few who wcro I beginning to seo that under tho net of uniformity Catholic doctrine might be taught and Catholic ritual practiced; who adhered to tho old forms of ro Hgion, but did not believe that obe dience to tho popo was a necessary part of them. One of these was Lord Howard of Efllngham, whom tho queen placed in his high command to securo tho wavering fidelity of the peers nnd country gentlemen. Hut the force, tho fire, the enthusiasm came (as tho Jesuit saw) from the Puritans, from men of the same convictions as the Calvinlstsof Holland and Rocholle; men who, driven from tho land, took to the ocean as their natural home, and nursed tho reformation in an ocean cradle. J. A. Froude, in Long man's Magazine. Tho" Ilagna. Did you ever stop to ask yourself or your knowing friend tho meaning of "The" In tho plnco named Tho'Haguo? If you are looking for something that will knock the above-mentioned know ing friend olf his feet just ask him the signification of tho three letters quoted In the headline. When ho falls to an swer tho question tell him that the "The" as It occurs In the instance cited is simply tho anglicized form of the Hutch word "a Oravcnhaaz" or "S, uruvuiiuuEc, eiuicr oi wmcn in mo Dutch languago moans "tho count's hedge." or l"tho count's grovo" or "woods." Originally the location now occupied by the city of The Hague was the hunting grounds of the counts of Holland. About tho year 1240 a palace was 'built In tho grove. Presently a village sprung up around the palace still it was called "the count's hedge," and finally and lastly a largo city, which in tho Dutch language has its original signification, but which in modern parlanco has been cvolutcd Into "The Hague."
