National Flags.

The present beautiful tricolor OF
France which succeeded the white field
with golden lilies. was formed by the
combinatiod of the colors of the city of
Paris, r, d and blue, with the white OF
the house of Bourbon. What is now
called the "union" of the British flag
once consisted only Of the cross of St.
George. Then the cross of st. An
drew was added to it, and finally the
cross of st. Patrick, and as the first
and last are of the same shape, the
last change could only be denoted by
the addition of the narrow white line
to the edge of the cross of st. George,
which can be seen byclosely examining
the union of Britain's banner. Many
people fancy that the present German
flag has some relations to the German
liberty flag" of black, red and gold
horizontal stripes, adopted by tho
oCthid iON NUiQtiOulolS, WIlCll III tufu
fancifully connected with the Holy
Roman empire. As a fact the Ger
man flag is simply the flag of tho
North German Confederation, which
was combination of the black and
white of Prussia with the red ana
white of the Hanseatic league. The
blue in the American flag came from.
the English Wings, whose colors wet
blue and buff. The Wings were th
friends of the struggling colonies be
fore the Revolution. The Wings weA
allied with the Protestant cause ~
Germany and got their colors from
Sweden. Blue and buff, with daAli
of red in the union to signify the coa1,
tion with Norway, still form Ia,

Some days ago, says the London
Telegraph, a letter appeared in con-
temporary, calling attention to the
employment of women in collieIies-
not in the mines. of course, since that
is illegal, but on the bank and at the
pits mouth. Large numbers Of
women are notorlously so engaged,
and it may at once be granted that
their occupation is about as unfeml-
nine as it is possible to conceive. The
work they do makes heavy demands
upon physical strength; its conditions
are rude, and, II not actually debaslng
to those who never knew anything
better, do not tend to promote the
refinement and delicacy which we
instinctively associate with women,
while in one not unimportant respect
it unsexes the female .aborer bv com.
pelling her to wear the garb of, and
become almost indistinguishable from
her male comrade.

A Quaint London Custom.

A recent issue of the London Neacs
says: Last evening, in accordance
with a time honored custom, the an
nual Lion sermon was preached at
st. Katherine Cree, Leadenhall street,
by the Rev. DR.. Whttemore. The orr
gin of this service dates back some
two and half centuries ago, when,
according to tradition, Sir John Gayer,
who was at one time Lord Mayor Of
London, left a sum of money for the
purpose of commemorating his re-
markable escape from death while
journeying in Arabia or some othey
Eastern country.
While travelling on this particular
occasion Sir John was Unexpectedly
confronted by a lion. Having no
weapon near at hand, the knight fell
on his knees in prayer, and, according
to the legend, the king of beasts, hav-
ing taken quiet survey of the worthy
knight, suddenly turned and walked
off in another direction, leaving him
unharmed. Sir John Gayer, on rising
from his devotion, vowed to commem-
crate his unlooked-for escape, and
made bequest for insttuting a SER
vice to be held on the anniversary of
his adventure, which is said to havp
taken place on the 10th of October.
The lion sermon from that time has
therefore been annually preached on
this date at ST. Katherine Cree Last
night the rector founded his discourse
on a passage from the 18th Psalm and
part of the .4th verse "Showing to
the generations to come the praises of
the Lord, and His strength and His
wonderful works that He hath DONE"
There was large congregation. and
at the conclusion of the service an
offertory was taken on behalf of the
choir funds.

The Story OF n Greenback,

The following story appears in a
late issue of The Atlanta (Ga.)
Capitdl:
In 1864, when a confederate camp
was located on Marietta street, an in
cident occurred which, with its sequel,
makes an interesting reminiscence of
the days when the old Atlanta was
more of soldiers barrack than city.
The camp to which allude was COOL
way out on Marietta, and the site is
now occupied with number of new
dwelling houses. Dr. Roy, of this
city, was then one of the physicians of
the camp. The late Capt. Alphonse
Hurtel, of the Oath Alabama. had been
placed in temporary charge of the
prison, and one day Yankee prisoner
gave him 800 greenback bill to keep,
fearing theft on the part Of other pris-
oners. Shortly afterward the prisoner
escaped, and Capt. Hurtel sent the
money to his wife in Mobile. Ala,
telling her to keep it. and if he did not
send for it, and the confederacy fell,
to use it. When Mobile surrendered,
that 500 was godsend TO one Of the
many impoverished families of the
Gulf city. And now the strange Sc
quel: Ten years after the close of the
war, one day while Capt. Hurtel was
sitting in his office, poor and ragged
soldier walked in and asked: as this
Capt. Hurtel?" After a quick glance
at the mans features, Capt. Hurtel
answered: "Yes, and you are the
soldier who gave me 500 bill in
Atlanta, Ga, during the WARP" "Yes,
sir. am" the soldier replied, as the
tears rolled down his cheeks, "and if
you will give me just IS of it now l
will be thankful" A check for 500
was given him. and the man fell on
his knees and wept like child. Once
again had the same money proven q
godsend in the hour of bitter need.

A Closet for Medicines.

Keep if you can, closet for the sole
use of medicines, and appliances for
sickness or accidents. A narrow, high
chimney-side closet answers the pur-
pose admirably, with shelves half way
down and deep drawers to fill the re-
naming space. Bundles of old, soft
cotton and linen pieces, roll of cot
ton batting and fanne, the rubber
water bag, medicine dropper, bed
pan, and feeding cup, and every
thing needed in an emergency or long
sickness. Have every vial plainly
labeled, those marked poison place al
ways on the upper shelf. Keep the
whole under lock and key, the key
beyond the reach of children, but
easily accessible to older members Of
the family.--Good Housekeeping.

The WindmiIls of Holland.

The most conspicuous and familiar
object in Holland is the windmill,
writes a Courier-Jouanal correspond
ent. Thousands of these structures
are scattered throughout the entire
country, including towns, farm houses
and hills. They are used for grist-
mills, saw mills and for all manufact-
uring purposes, but principally for the
purpose Of pumping water from the
low lands into the canals that form
drains to the sea. Many of these mills
are of immense size, their arms or sails
measuring as much as sixty feet. They
present solemn look by day and a
most weird look by night.
In my opinion one of these out-ot
the way windmills at the dead hour OF
midnight offers the best field on this
earth for ghost hunting. If you can
not find ghosts here, then you need
look no farther, IN the certain belief
that none are to be found anywhere
The number and sight of these wind,
mills suggest the three impossibilitie:
with which have met in my travels
first. to be out of sight of a China.
man in San Francisco; second. to be
out of sight of a windmill in Holland
and third, to be out of sight of a priest
in Rome. These may be set down as
the three impossibilities of travel in
these places.
Another peculiar and universal sight
in Holland is the fact that all the
houses and buildings are covered with
red pottery or corrugated tiling. Thus
the tops of all structures, from huts to
palaces, are bright red. This style of
roofing has now extended throughout
Belgium and most of Germany and
Switzerland, because it is more con.
venient and cheaper than wood OF
other metal. The great scarcity OF
timber in these countries make wood
roofing an impossibility.

Tea in Bricks.

The Hunnias (Himalayan natives)
drink tea which comes from China in
small packets, made up of the large
leaves, small branches, seeds, etc.,
forming mass reduced to the small
est possible size by pressure, and rem
dered sometimes still more compact by
a slight addition of sleeps blood. The
Hunnias travel great distances, living
only on tea and what the Hindus call
S'tttoo-that is -four made from
roasted beans or peas. To
prepare the tea, they boil the
the leaves for some hours--all night
in fact, if they are in camp--in small
earthern pot; then they pour out the
infusion into large basin full of hot
water, adding some salt and clarified
butter (ghee), if they happen to have
it. All these naturally make kind
of soup, and the natives can live on it
several months and undergo severe
fatigue without taking any other nour,
ishment.
"The method adopted by the Mon
gols and other tartar tribes for the
preparation of tea in bricks is" says
Johnston in his Chemistry of Common
Life, "it is believed, that which ex-
tracts from the leaves the greatest pos
sible amount of nourishment. They
scrape the tea into fne powder and
boil it in the alkaline water of the
steppes, adding some fat and salt. af-
ter which they pour off the liquid,
leaving the deposit. They drink
twenty, even forty. glasses of this
liquor in the day, mixing in it some
honey and butter, with little roast
meat; but with only little milk in
stead of the meat they can subsist
many weeks with this drink for sole
sustance." ."-Chdmber'S Journal.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN,
Danger of Large poses OF Quini,

Danger of Large poses OF Quinine.
AT a late meeting of the New York
Clinical Society, two papers were read
in which it was shown that large doses
of quinine have deleterious effect on
the heart, through the nervous system.
This, it appears, is especially the case
in typhoid fever, where, through long
continued pyrexia, the heart becomes
weak or degenerated.

The Dewdrop.

From the night clouds bosom, cool fall,
Adown the darkness roaming;
Igladden the hearts Of the flowers oil
Anod in the purple cleaning.
Iquiver and shake
AS the night winds wake
The flowers to their swaying;
catch the first CLEAN
Ofthe moons bright beam
Adown the mountain playing.
Iwatch the stars peep,
And the moon from her sleep
Wake the nightingale sad to her singing;
revel, dance,
At the moons pure glance,
And the planets above me swinging.
I hold in my heart
The fiery dart
Hurled from the SUMS golden CULVER;
l glow, CLEAN,
AS afre seem,
And my myriad hucs deliver;
Till, when in the east,
The days high priest
Arises in his glory,
rise IN mist
To my home, sun kissed,
Above the mountains hoary.

Dangerous Medicines for Children,

The British Medical Journal says:
It is well known that in every house.
hold great deal of useless and un-
necessary medication is carried on by
parents among the youthful members
of the family. As a rule, resort is
had to medicines that are practically
safe, and which experience has shown
to be innocuous; but there is also, we
fear, a tendency to employ drugs
which should only be administered
by the family physician, without call
ing in medical aid An instance of
this was furnished 10y trial which
took place at Hamilton, where father
was placed in the dock, on the charge
Of culpable homicide, for administer
ing four drops of laudanum to child
five weeks old, with the result that it
became unconscious and died within
the next few hours. There was no
SFiuCHC0 tudt tHo hIeuiCluC Htu Dctll
given with any criminal intent, and
the jury very properly acquitted the
parent, whose mental suffering must
have been sufficient punishment for
the indiscretion of which he had been
guilty; but the facts brought out in
connection with the case cannot be
too widely known. They may serve
to impress more forcibly on the public
what is we'll known and universally
admitted, that there is extreme sus-
ceptibility on the part of children,
especially within the first few weeks
of life, to the influence Of opium in
any form, and that it should never be
given except under medical guidance
and sanction. The evidence of some
of the witnesses at the trial showed
the hazy notions that exist as to the
administration of laudanum to chill
dren, some holding that drop of
laudanum for each week of the age
was perfectly safe, while others were
not prepared to go such lengths.
Where the issues involved are those
of life or death, it would be well to
follow the rule we have given above;
for, where child is ill enough to re-
