Decline in the Use of Flars,

The exhibition of 1851, that was to inaugu-
rate the new era Of world peace, for the first
time introduced the flag in a new character.
Then began the Tagging of central avenues
and side courts, the trophies for bazars,
fetes and fancy fairs; and then, too, when the
powerful dramatic faculty of Dickens for the
first time made theatricalS fashionable, then,
too, were seen proscenium and lecture hall,
galleries and columns Haunting with stars aI.i
stripes and tricolors, and double headed
eagles-in fact, nowadays we have no flag to
speak Of in any other than the decorative
shape. Il tomorrow we were to fight with
France, we doubt if throughout tie whole
campaign one solitary Union would be Wis
IDLE. Soon there viii be no more colors hang
ing in cathedral aisles, for nowadays they are
never ventured near the fght-are, indeed,

And war. which has so fast been losing its
pomp and pageantTy, loses in its color one

fighting IN the Soudan the only touch Of bunt-
ing visible was the small red flag carried by
q military policeman after the general, TO let

Factories for Explosive Materials,

Tho recent explosion at the "cellonite
works." in Arlington, n j., furnished a new
illustration of the danger of placing factories
for the making of explosive materials in well
Astounding neighborhoods. The people of the
place were deceived, it is true, by the asser-
tons of the company that the product was
not explosive; otherwise they would not have
allowed the factory to be put up so near the
dangerous spot. The result suggests that it
might be well for the state to take the matter
in band, ard not only to provide by law that
no explosive shall be manufactured except in
isolated buildings and with proper precau-
lions, but also TO appoint state inspector,
any factory is likely to be dangerous, and
without whose certificate of probabls safety
no company could build near a village.-Yhs
