THE TRUE TEST.
The Merit of Religion, Government, Persons
and Thing Must Rest Upon Basis
of Worth.
Some Truths Illustrating this, and Testimony
of Value to All Readers.
Christian at Work

Christian at Work.
The true test of any religion is the effect
it produces upon the lives of those who
profess it. And, indeed, the test of real
merit everywhere must be the power it
possesses of accomplishing desirable re-
suits. In this age of the world men are
not judged by what they claim to be able
to do, but by what they can do; not by
what they are reputed to be, but by what
they are Here is where the religion of
our own country rises superior to the
faith of Mohammedan or Hindoo lands;
for while there is much hypocrisy in the
Church, and far too much worldllness,
there is yet an absence of those sensual
and brutal elements which characterize the
religions of Arabia and the Gauges.
This principle is equally true in all other
departments of life. The same rule which
applies to persons is equally applicable to
things Unquestioned merit must charac-
terize them all, or they cannot be accepta-
BILE much less popular. The clear and
well arranged lecture delivered by DR.
Ghas. Craig before the Metropolitan Scien-
tific Association appeared in the columns
of this paper a short time since. In this
lecture some new truths were brought to
light bearing directly upon, and affecting
the interests of the entire community.
These facts, as stated by the doctor in his
lecture have been discussed in the columns
of the religious press to considerable ex-

BETSY ROSS, THE WOMAN OF GENIUS WHO
DESIGNED THE AMERICAN FLAG.
" aShlngtOn Post.

Now that the modern Penelope is stabing
her white fingers with the point of cruel
needle and getting the aesthetic bulrush in
faithful Kensington colors on screams and
panels it is interesting to recall the
achievements of our grand-mothers in that
direction.
In the quiet old days before the sewing
machine, noisy and aggressive, forced
dainty and womanly handicrafts from the
field, they did some work that was greatly
to their credit and one of them at least has
been embalmed in the amber OF history by
means of her needlework.
She was the genius of the scissors, and
with the good blade Excaliber she cut
Washington himself was aroused to enthu-
siasm by the dizziness with which Mrs.
Betsy Ross, of Philadelphia, folded and
cut at one full stroke, white satin star
For forty-sIX years she made flags for the
army and navy.
At the request of DR. Franklin, George
Morris and Col. Geo. Ross, she made
the first flag of the United States, and
Thomas Paine, who seems to have had a
finger in every pie in these good old times,
showed her how to set the stars on the
flag.
1t was at one time proposed to omit the
eagle from the navy flag but against this
Paul Jones protested.
Besides being flag-maker extraordinary
to the general Government, she was an ar
tistic upholsterer, and furnished hotels
and theaters. She also upholstered
ocean steamers that piled between the new
England and the old. For all these pur-
poses she herself imported the richest
fabrics, and nothing save the sketch of her
life which has come down to us, could be
more bright and beautiful than the draperies
which she designed
Probably Miss Rose would not have said
designed. She would have been more
likely in the sensible phraseology of the
day, to say, that she ''cut them out" and
made them up" She would look with
scant admiration on the dubious colors and
half and quarter shades of modern panels.
She always liked something bright and
decided, and always combined with primary
colors. Her proudest victories were won
by that slid phalanx of the seven uncom-
promising shades-the tri-colors of liberty.
Thus briefly told is sketch of the lady
who designed the American flag

AFTER A CONSULATE.
How Patient West virginian Was Receiy.
ed at the State Department
Omaha Bee.

Omaha Bee.
The following amusing incident is re
lated by prominent young Republican
from West Virginia, who has a keen sense
OF the ridiculous rich vein of humor and
line intelligence. This young man had
been strongly Endorsed by the leading re.
publicans of his state for position in the
consular service. With his gripsack stuff
ed with papers and letters setting forth
his claims to consideration, such as good
character, talent, oratorical ability, cam
paign services rendered, ETC., he came to
the city in the early days of the present
administration. Immediately upon arrival
he HE'D himself to the state department to
remind Mr.. Blaine that West Virginia had
been solid for him in his presidential
contest, and now she wanted to be remem-
bered for it. The secretary promised the
young man an audience at a future date.
Days and weeks passed, but the future
date promise seemed to have been forgot
ten.
Strong in patience, but poor in pocket,
the gallant young Republican went to his
home
A few days ago he returned, and to use
his own language, he proceeded to the de
partment to see what prospect there was
for getting his grist ground
He was ushercd into the presence of the
private secretary, Walter Blaine, Esq, and
the following interview took place:
"You folks are nicely fixed here. Is your
father at homer"
Eyes, sir; but he is engaged with the
British minister"
'1ndeedl Is your father fond of minis
ters?"
P. Sec.-"I don't exactly comprehend
you"
Il mean, do the Methodists, Presbyter-
ian and Campbellite ministers visitors visit
much with your
p, Sec,-My dear sir, you seem to be
ignorant of our foreign relations"
Il didn't know we had any foreign rela-
tons. | thought we were all Americans,
and run this country to suit ourselves"
p. Sec becoming impatient)-"Well,
sir, what can do for you
you may tell your father that | am
here and will advise him as to the proper
distribution of good consular appoint
ments."
p. Sec.-''My dear sir, permit me to say
to you in all kindness that the time of the
secretary is so absorbed that he is unable
to see many of his intimate, personal and
political friends"
you don't think he'll be disappointed
at not getting to see me?"
p. Sec.-'I hope not, sir"
''Well, hope not, too"
Then the young man was politely bowed
to the door, but he hesitated, and return
ed and said:
Just one more request, Mr.. Private sec
rotary. would like to take my papers
from the pigeon-hole, dust them off, and
return them. They are nice clean papers,
well written, on good paper, and | want
good care taken of them. Don't handle
them very often not more than once a
year. Read them at very rare intervals, as
you would lot of old loveletters, just to
remind you that I want to be foreign
relation, or something of that kind If the
walking is good 1 will come again next
fall and dust up again. You are nice
young man, and l will bring you jug of
cider and bag of apples. Goodbye"
