Origin Of the Flag Of Freedom.

While residing at Constantinople, Con-
gresham Sunset" Cox was. confirmed IN
the opinion that our national flag was sug-
gested by the coat of arms of the Washing
ton family. The chaplain of the British
legation at the capital of Turkey bears the
name of George Washington. He is in
direct line from the De Wessyntons OF the
time of the Norman conquest in England.
It was the same family, though not in q
direct line, that George Washington of
America was a descendant. Rev. George
Washington of Constantinople, in note
to Mrs. Cox. says: Il have always heard
that the story mentioned to you was cor
rect, viz: That casting about for a flag
when independence had been declared, the
Americans thought they could not do bet
ter than to take the generals family quar-
terings as a foundation. Hence, the Stars
and stripes!" The quarterings referred to
are shield, with three stars at the top and
stripes below, running across the shield.
Above the shield are the head and wings
of an eagle, rising from crown, and be-
low it the motto, lin cruce gloriar." Be-
low all is the name, George Washington.

Fishing For a New Kind Of Bite.

The habits of running spider of south
ern Europe are curious. It makes vertical
round hole in the ground about ten inches
deep, and this, with small earth wall
sometimes made round the mouth. is lined
with web. A little way down is small
lateral hole, into which the spider shrinks
when an animal falls into the tube; when
the animal has reached the bottom the
spider pounces upon it. One can readily
tell that a tube is tenanted by the bright
phosphorescent eyes of the spider turned
upward. In fight the spider erects itself on
it's last pair of legs, striking with the others.
The bite is not fatal to man, but it causes
large swellngs. The children in Buchar-
est angle for these spiders by means of an
egg-like ball af kneaded yellow wax tied to
thread. This is lowered with jerks into
the hole, and the spider fastens on it and
can be pulled out; whereupon another
thread is passed around one of its legs,
and the animal is PLAYED with.

some years ago an extraordinary sight was

his "casket" one afternoon and placed in
the room set apart for that branch of the
business. The proprietor lived over his
premises, and this especial evening was
giving grand ball. When the ball was

evening dress suddenly joined the compa-
ny. He danced with the wife of the un-
dertaker, and he danced with the UNDER

to be rude and ask him his name; but by

strange gentleman was the only one left.

Men Are Dancing Less.

Fashion is constantly adding new fea-
lures to dancing. A cotillion figure re-
Gently introduced is what is called the race
course. Several hurdles are set up, and
the ladies stand at an umpire's box and
hold paper covered hoops, through which
the racers jump. The man who wins,
dances with any lady whom he may select.
This is quite picturesque, and it will,
doubtless, prove very exciting. And yet
fashion would do we'll to ease upa little on
it's love for novelty. Dancing is delight
full pastime, and it is only injurious when
it is abused, but it is very evident fact
that the men are gradually losing their
liking for it, and this almost entirely due
to the introduction of foolish figures and
complicated arrangements that are as fa-
tigueing as go-as-y you please race. The
average man does not care to be ridiculous,
even if it does afford amusement to the
fair ladies, and it is natural hat he should
be willing to leave the new figures to dudes
who have nothing else to do except to dress
and dance.-Baltimore American.
