was white with this motto on it.
AS the cause of independence grew
there grew with it the desire for the
Punishment not only of those persons
who sided with the royal cause, but also
of every symbol Of British rule and col
onial allegiance.
One hundred years ago, on the 18th
day of June, 1877, the Congress passed
the resolution adopting the "stars and
stripes" as the flag of the new nation.
The resolution was as follows:
"ResoIved By Congress, That the flag of
the United States be Thirteen Stripes
Alternate Red and White; that the
Union be Thirteen Stars in Blue
Field"
The law constituting this flag was not
published till the Sd of September fol-
lowing, and the flag itself was unfurled
for the first time in the army on the
surrender Of Burgoyne at Saratoga,

A Peculiar Ssctpsdfe.

A Brooklyn paper says: Residents of
this city are every summer subjected to
a peculiar and annoying swindle which
arises from the practices of killing dogs
in the street. The city ordinances pro-
vide that the police shall shoot every dog
found running at large without muzzle
After the execution, the officer is re-
quired to report it at the station-house.
The occurrence is telegraphed to Police
Headquarters, and thence to the Fifth
Precinct in which the Office of the offal
contractor is. In the telegram the place
where the defunct canine is lying is men,
toned, and the contractors subordin ites
proceed TO the spot indicated. Upon
reaching it they are often surprised to
find that the dog has disappeared.
Thinking thata mistake had been made,
the offal men return to the office, but are
soon obliged to respond to another Motif
cation from the same or an adjoining
precinct, that dead dog awaits removal.
Going in search of it, they again find
that it has disappeared. For a long time
this unaccountable disappearance of
dogs was mystery to the police, the
Sanitary officials and the ofsl contrac-
tors. 1t was finally solved by sharp
patrolman, who one day saw two boys
dragging the carcass of bull pup down
the street by rope. Arriving in front
of handsome residence, they cut the
rope and allowed the body to remain
there for nearly an hour. They then rang
the door bell, requested to see the pro-
prietor of the house, and asked if the
people living there desired the removal
of the dog. The unsuspecting citizen of
course answered in the affirmative, and
the boys agreed to perform the service
for twenty-five cents. Upon receiving
the money. they again attached the rope
to the leg of the dog, repeated the opera
ton in the immediate neighborhood,
and soon afterward were arrested. The
petty and ludicrous fraud has been
carried on pretty extensively in the city,
and though the police keepa sharp look
out for the perpetrators, they conduct
sheir movements SO secretly, that they
always elude the vigilance of the au-
thorities, and succeed in securing quite
profitable recompense for their trouble.
1t is largely owing to the antics of these
juvenile swindlers, that the offal men ex.
perience great deal of difficulty in find.

A Special Sick Room What KUery
House Needs.
Golden Rule,

One of the worst fsults of our very
faulty modern architecture, as applied to
houses, is found in the fact that our
architects do not take into their plans
the possibilities of sickness in the family.
Now, no house is properly constructed
that has not in it a room or rooms ex-
pressly designed for the accommodation
of the infirm and the sick. This room
should, in the first place, have warm,
sunny exposure. The window light
should be ample and command the wild
est possible view. The first essential
in a sick-room is good, liberal fire.
place. Through it, and by means of the
warmth which it generates, the whole
room is kept, in its atmospheric condi-
tions, wholesome and pure. Not only
so, but a slow burning fire, with it's
lights and shades, its rising sparks and
glowing brand, its curling and many
colored smoke, and its changeful embers
furnishes ceaseless diversion to the sick
one who lies watching it. Nothing is
more soothing and quoting than the
influence which subtly steals into the
sense of him who gazes dreamily into
the gentle fame. IT is companionship
in itself The walls, too, should have
their proper adornment. Pictures that
suggest quiet and peace and the free,
fresh life of nature should be on them.
A bracket with its vase of flowers; a
green clambering vine, clinging ambi.
tiously to the ceiling; a library case,
filled with familiar books; curtains that
soften the light while admitting it. AL
these are helpful to one that lies in
weakness anu can take no more of life
than the little room reveals. Better
still, if just outside the window stands 9
tree, with the branches so placed that
the leaves of some almost sweep the
pane. How much the sight of twigs
buds and leaves, stirred by the wind
and fecked with bright CLEANS of tn,
sun, can cheer the mind of one who lie
upon the pillow idly looking at them
The central thought expressed in well
| constructed sick-room is-diversion
The object of its construction and loca
ton should give perfect accommodation
and protection to the invalid, while a
the same time it suggests the beauty ant
the freedom of being unconfned-th
life and animation of the great out-doo
world beyond.

A LjUeIy Wedding Scene.

Hesitation on the brink of matrimony
has brought serious consequences on the
head of young man at Farnworth, in
England. He had won the affections of
a young woman who worked in spin
ming mill in the neighborhood. The
bridegroom escorted the bride to Farm
worth parish church, the best man and
bridesmaid following in the rear. No
tretemps occurred, until the bridal pro-
cession arrived at the church gates,
when the bridegroom assented to sug-
gestion made by few friends that he
should fortify himself for the solemn
ceremony by taking something at an ad-
jacent public house. He accordingly
drank two glasses of whisky. In the
meantime the bride sought him at the
public house, and requested him at once
to fulfill his engagements. This, how
ever, he refused to do, and it was there
fore determined to convey him by force
Seized by number of men, he was, de-
spite his struggles, carried to the church
yard, where he managed to free himself
from their grasp, and ran off as fast as
his legs would carry him. He was fol-
lowed by crowd of people, who having
caught him after an exciting chase, cut
his hat into shreds, besmeared his clothes
with treacle and -four, rolled him in the
dust, and beat him with sticks, umbrel-
las, and baskets. He was then permitted
to go; and the bride, deeply chagrined,
returned home. This is the second time
that the same young man has, at the last
moment, Stunned the fatal plunge and
decamped from the church door, leaving
an minated bride in the porch.

ON A NAUGHTY LITTLE BOY /,
SLEEPING.
By BRET HARTE.

Just now.I missed from hall and,stak
A joyful treble that had grown
As dear to us rs that grave tone
That tells the world by older care.
And little footsteps on the floor
Were stayed. Iilaid aside my pen,
Forgot my theme and lstened--then
Stole softly to the library door.
No sight9 no sound la moments freak
OF fancy filled my pulses through;
"If-no"--and yet that fancy drew
A fathers blood from heart and cheek.
And then--I found him There he lay,
Surprised by sleep, caught In the act,
The rosy vandal who had sacked
His little town. and thought 1t play.
The shattered vase, the broken jar;
A match still smoldering upon the door
The inkstand's purple pool Of gore,
The chessmen scattered near and far.
Strewn leaves Of albums lightly pressed
This wicked " Baby Of the Woods"
In fact, OF half the hor sehold goods
This son and heir was,, sed-possessed.
Yet all In vain, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached the feet that strayed
And fallen In that ambuscade
The victor was himself DER wrought.
What though torn leaves and tattered boo
Still testified his deep disgrace
stopped and kissed the inky face,
with Its demure and calm outlook.
Then back stole, and half beguiled
My guilt, Ia trust that when my sleep
should come, there might be One who'd keep
An equal mercy for His child.
