The American Flag.

The flag unfurled at Cambridge, Mass,
on January /, 1776, by the commander
in-chief of the colonial army, was not
spangled with stars. 1t consisted of
thirteen alternate red and white stripes.
with tho British emblems of the crosses
of st. George of England and st. An
drew of Scotland emblazoned on the blue
canton in place of the stars, which now
shine with so much luster, That flag
was first thrown to the breeze on the
second day OF January, 1776, one hun
dred years ago. The first legislation by
United States was on Jnne IA, 1777, and
an official declaration that it should con-
sist of thirteen alternate red and white
stripes, and thirteen stars on white
and blue field-the union representing
the thirteen late colonies. This flag is
said to have been first hoisted by the
erratic and gallant John Paul Jones, on
his ship the Ranger. Captain Samuel
@. Reed, of our infant navy, first recon-
mended to Congress the adoption of our
present flag January 2, 1917, which was
finally acted upon by Congress, April
A, 1918. The designer fixed the num-
ber of stripes at thirteen, and the
arrangement of the stars into one large
star, a new star to be added on the
fourth of July succeeding the admission
of State into the Union. Congress
formally adopted Reeds suggestion, but
left the stellar arrangement out of the
resolution. However, the stars and
stripes were hoisted by the President on
the thirteenth of April, 1918, on the
capitol. Without any legal authority
known, the stars in the union of the
flags used by the War department are
arranged in one large star, while on
naval flags they are set in parallel lines.
1t is to be regretted that so little is
known of the history of the banner now
used, or rather that so much of its origin
is involved in obscurity. }.

How a Stage Coach was Robbed.

The Marysville (Cal) appeal says {:
The San Juan and Marysville stage, on
its way for this city, was stopped about
four miles from Smartsville, and on the
road between Finney's Hill and At
woods new house, and robbed of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s express box, which is
supposed to have contained but a small
amount of treasure. Hogan, the driver,
informs us that he was half an hour
ahead of time, and his team had just
got into walk from slow trot when
masked man jumped up from behind
bush on the lower side of the road, and,
presenting a rifle at his head, said :
"Stop and hold up your hands,"
Robert Winans, who occupied seat on
the box, obeyed the summons, and the
robber repeated his command with more
emphasis " Hold up your hands or I'll
blow your brains out" Hogan then
threw down his reins and whip and held
up his hands. The robber then said !:
Hand out that box, and be quick
about it." Hogan was some time in
getting the box out, as there wos
valise III the way, when the robber said {:
"Hurry up" Hogan then threw out
the box, and asked: "Shall drive on2"
Yes, replied the robber. Hogan
said the robber spoke in tremulous
voice, and gave orders with some space
of time intervening, as if little lacking
in courage. As he drove on he kept his
eyes on the robber, with view of
recognition. This the robber did not
like, and he said: "Drive on, or I'll
blow your brains out, keeping his rife
leveled upon him. After proceeding
some distance and being out of sight of
the robber, Winars, who swas armed
with a revolver, took route across lots
to the scene of the robbery to watch
operations. He reports he was observed
and told to stop. At this time there
were two robbers in possession of the
treasure box. The robbers broke open
the box with an AK, and soon left with
all the contents but one paper. The
box was soon after picked up and taken
to Timbuctoo. Five passengers were on
board the stage at the time of the rob-
berry,

Prince Albert's Windsor Pigs.

A visitor to Queen Victoria's farm
says: Passing from the bull stalls we
came to the piggery where these beauti-
full small white pigs are bred, and where
we saw breeding stock of all ages. This
breed is remarkable for fneness, small
ness of bone and offal, and for easy fat
tening, being moderately long bodied,
round and well shaped, having very short
dish faces, small, thin ears, little curling
tails, full round hams, and a thin hide
fairly haired. The pen, in which there
were number of pigs, was as clean as
a parlor. We walked in, ladies and all
through the paved yard into the sleep
ing room, the grunters making way for
us lazily. Here the inmates reused up
and moved about in the deep straw us if
expecting to be fed whenever they were
disturbed. Several were so fat that they
could no loi,ger open their eyes; yet
they seemed to have no difficulty in
moving about. We saw sacks apparent
ly stuffed with hay and sewed up lying
about IN the straw, and on inquiry,
learned that they were pillows, one for
each pig, for them to rest their heads
upon when asleep-otherwise they are
in danger of suffocation. They soon
learn the use of the pillows, and then
never neglect to lay their heads upon
5hem if they can. The snouts of these
pigs were just about at right angles to
the "facial line," and certainly did not
project much further than their ears,
small rs were the latter The most ex-
travagant picture of English prize pigs
seemed to have in these their accurate
counterparts.

Love and Labor,

Love lives to labor it lives to give
itself away. There is no such thing as
indolent love. Look within your heart
and see if this is not tr'ie. If you love
any one truly and deeply, the cry of
your heart is to spend and be spent in
the loved ones service. Love woulddi
if it could not benefit. Its keenest suf-
fering is met when it finds itself unable
to assist. What man could see the wo-
man he loves lack anything, and be
unable to give it to her and not suffer ?
Why, love makes one slave 1t tolls
night and day, refusing all wages and
all reward save the smile of the oneunt o
whom it is bound, in whose service it
finds delight, at whose feet it alone dis
covers its heaven. There is no danger
that language can be too strong or too
fervently used to portray thes ervices of
love. By cradle and couch, by sick bed
and coffin, in hut and palace, the minis
tries of love are being wrought. The
eyes of all behold them /; the hearts
OF all are moved at the spectacle.

Where Perfumes Come From,

Our fair readers may be interested to
learn where, for the most part, the flow
ers grow, the sweet perfumes of which
are found in those pretty fagons on their
dressing tables. The chief places of
their growth are the south of France and
Piedmont, namely: Montpelier, Grasse,
Nimmes, Cannes and Nice ; these two
last, especially, are the paradise of vio-
let's, and furnish a yearly product of
about $4,000 pounds of violet blossoms.
Nice furnishes q harvest of 10000
pounds of orange blossoms yielding
about two pounds of Neroli oil. At
Cannes the acacia thrives well, and pro-
duces yearly about 5000 pounds of
acacia blossoms. One great perfumery
distillery at Cannes uses yearly $1,000
pounds of rose leaves, 80, 900 pounds of
jasmine blossoms, $1,000 pounds of vio-
let's and 5000 pounds of tuberoses, to-
gether with a great many other sweet
herbs. The extraction of the ethereal
oils, the small quantities of which are
mixed in the flowers with such large
quantities of which are mixed in the
flowers with such large quantities of
other vegetable juices that it requires
about six hundred pounds of rose leaves
to win one ounce of otto of roses, de-
mands a very careful treatment. The
French, favored by their climate, are
the most active, although the most care
full, preparers of perfumes half of the
world is furnished by this branch of
their industry.

Company Manners.

You have perhaps seen a sad-faced
wife remain silent while those around
her laughed at her husbands jokes, and
were inclined to vote her ll-tempered
and sulky. How could you know that
this genial gentleman, in company most
jovial, is at home most morose and bit
ter? He is before 'olk-hence on his
good behavior and his good behavior
deceives all but the experts and those
who have been behind the scenes, where
they have seen the coarse foundation,
and tested the paint and tinsel. His
wife knows the artificial composition of
which his amiability is made, but the
stranger thinks it pure, and sings his
praises as man more estimable by far
than his neighbors. Let us not throw
on him, however, an undue share of that
hypocrisy which we all practice "before
folk" Before folk the poor will pre-
tend to he rich, and the man who half
starves his family when the house door
is locked, will make display whereto
he invites his friends, which even one
wealthy and of high degree would
scarcely copy. Before folk opinions are
modified. dislikes concealed, principles
abandoned. Before folk everything
which is harsh in our nature is buried
ont of sight. That which comes to the
surface is mild, genial, amiablo, toler-
ant while that which oozes cut in OBJ
scurity is too often rough, harsh, unami-
able and tyrannical. Before folk we put
on our silken coats in morals and man
ners as we'll rs in dress at home we are
not ashamed of the toughest frieze, and
we allow ourselves jags and tags that
would disgrace us forever if seen by our
more formal acquaintance. Before folk
we are careful to please, anxious to
charm where folk are not we throw fas-
cination to the winds, and so long as we
are obeyed snap our fingers at esteem.
Alas for human nature that it should be
so, but this is true bill against most of
us. Write the moral for yourselves,
friends.

IndiaUs for the Centennial.

Director General Goshorn, of the
Centennial exposition, has received
communication from San Franciscan,
named Mcdonald, which communication
has been referred to the commissioner of
Indian affairs. Mcdonald has for long
time been drilling a band of Indians
from nearly every tribe, and desires to
bring detachment of his troops con-
sisting of nine members, male and fe-
male, to Philadelphia for the purpose of
exhibiting them at the centennial; and
he challenges the world to excel them in
military science and drill. His object
in exhibiting them is to demonstrate the
fact that poor Lo can, under proper dis
cipline, become an expert in military
science, and can be utilized for border
defence. Mr.. Mcdonald has, doubt
less, wasted time and money, and the
final destination of his communication
will probably be the waste basket.

A Touching Incident.

The Chicago EUening Journal says !:
A great city is full of painful incident.
Not only do wealth, fashion and refine
ment find here their most conspicuous
expression, but want and wretchedness
stalk abroad in miserable guise, shock
ing the sensibilities Of the humane, or
hide away in cellars or garrets, where
cold and starvation do their fearful work
upon their victims. A touching case of
maternal wretchedness and desperation
has been brought to our notice. A
Scandinavian woman whose husband is
dead, whose health and heart are broken,
and who is without home or friends (as
she states in note pinned to the
blanket), laid her little baby-a bright,
blue-eyed, lovely boy of four months
at the door of one of our elegant houses
on Wabash avenue a short time since,
the note beseeching the lady of the
house, of whom she had heard as ga
kind hearted woman," not to send it to
the foundling hospital, but if she could
not keep it herself to secure for it a
home with some other kind hearted per-
som. The lady is herself large hearted
enough to adopt the little one, but her
own health forbids the assumption of
the responsibility. She has kept it
uutil now, hoping to find some one to
adopt it, being anxious, if possible, to
comply with the mothers wish.

A Sheen Ranch i'm Texas.

All that is needed to start a sheep
ranch in Texas, says local paper, is two
jackasses, two Mexican boys, one Mexi-
can man, one sack Of friioles (Mexican
beans), some coffee and few extras,
1900 ewes, and twenty to thirty bucks,
and a gun to kill game. The Mexican
ewes, if bought in August, will cost
81. 80 to $1.65. A Mexican boy will cost
So to $40 a month, and the man about
$40 month jackasses S25 each the
frijoles three cents pound-altogether
for the first year about SO, 500. The ewes
will yield from two and quarter to two
and a half pounds of wool eacn,
which will bring about twenty-four cents
per pound, and then come the lambs,
which will double the herd if properly
taken care of. A man then has from his
investment of $500, 5000 sheep, and
upward of 5000 from the sale of the
wool

The Pope and the Centennial.

Archbishop Wood, of Philadelphia,
has received from Cardinal Antonel
two letters in response to an application
to the Pope that he allow the display at
the American Centennial exhibition of
works of art in the galleries at Rome.
In the course of his second letter Car
dinal Antonelli says: The weighty and
manifold cares involved in the govern
ment of the church throughout the
world, and his untiring solicitude for
holy father from devoting himself to the
encouragement of the fine arts. Hence
he would have cheerfully taken part in
the international exposition to be held
in Philadelphia, under the auspices of
the United States government, in order
to celebrate the centennial anniversary
of American independence, and, at the
same time, to encourage competition in
the imitation of whatever is beautiful in
art and in perfecting whatever is suscep-
tible of improvement.
But, unfortunately, despoiled OF his
states by the political vicissitudes of
which he has been the victim, he is una
BILE, as he has done before on similar oc-
casious, to send many articles to enrich
the Philadelphia exhibition. He must,
therefore, limit himself to the sending
of few works from the only establish
ment that yet remains under his sover-
eign authority and protection, and which
is fostered by his munifcence, notwith-
standing his financial straits. Conse-
quently he sends few specimens of
mosaic work from the famous Vatican
workshop. To these will be added a
piece of tapestry lately finished by order
and at the expense of his holiness:
I trust that this token of the Pope's
regard, esteem, and good will to the
United States of America, will draw yet
closer the bonds of agreement happily
existing between the holy see and the
American people, and will testify the
affection which he, the common father,
bears to all the nations of the earth.

Wait.

Wait, husband, before you wonder
audibly why your wife don't get along
with the household affairs Gas your
mother did," She is doing her best, and
no woman can endure that best to be
slighted. Remember the long, weary
nights she sat up with the little babe
that died; remember the love and care
she bestowed upon you when you had
that long spell of sickness. Doyou think
she is made of cast iron? Wait-wait
in silence and forbearance, and the light
will come back to her eyes----the old
light for the old days.
Wait, wife, before you speak reproach-
fully to your husband when he comes
home late, weary and "out of sorts. "
He worked hard for you all day, per-
haps, far into the night; he has wrestled,
hand in hand, with care and selfshness
and greed, and all the demons that fol-
low in the train of money making. Let
home be another atmosphere entirely.
Let him feel that there is one place in
the world where he can find peace and
quiet, and perfect love.

Bull Run Battlefield.

James Robinson, the owner of the
Robinson House." on the Bull Run
battlefield, near Manassas, Va, died
few days since. He witnessed both OF
the memorable battles, remaining on his
place with his family during these terri
BILE scenes of blood. His house received
hundreds of bullets, and one solid twen-
ty- four FOUNDER, which went through
bedroom, carrying away one post of q
bed, upon which lay sick Confederate
soldier. He witnessed the death of Con
federate Generals Bee and Barlow,
which took place within a hundred yards
of his door. He saw the marble monu-
ment erected to their memory, and saw
the Federal soldiers destroy the samo at
the second battle. He gathered up the
fragments and preserved them, and up
to the time of his death would give to
visitors to the battlefield, who desired it,
a small piece of the marble as memento.

manufactory alone 1000 pounds of doc,

vicinity of La Rochelle, and the flesh
of which is of a deep green, said to be
produced from feeding on the infusoria

Divorce.

Divorce.
The law has spoken,
The law has broken,
And men have hardened it's stern decree
The great world wondered
Two lives are sundered,
Two streams have flowed to the sullen sea.
The past is in ashes,
And memory dashes
The hopes that were born with the birth of
the years;
Life's dream is relinquished,
Loves lamp is extinguished
The future is laden with curses and tears.
Deaths parting-to sever
Forever, forever,
To breathe in world without fragance or
Deaths parting-to wander
Alone, and to ponder
Der dreams that lie buried in anguish and
gloom.
What demon has entered
Where angels have centered,
Where life was as sweet as the glance Of a
child;
What flame has empowered
The love so embowered,
The beauty, the hepe, and the faith unde-
fled?
Ah bright was the summer,
When ev'ry new conner
Poured gadness in bosoms of bridegroom
and bride;
All pure was each meeting,
Each smile and each greeting,
Each tear that seemed sweeter than honor
or pride.
Their lips unrepenting,
Their eyes unrelenting,
They turn from the path that is farest to
Hope weary and sighing,
Love bitterly dying,
The visions that were will come never again.
o heart once forsaken,
Once withered and shaken,
The world is hereafter woe and shame ;
Cold prile may sustain thee!
Twill bruise thee and chain thee
Twill mock thee with throbbings thou canst
