IoupfeIIow's Aucestry.

The ancestry of Henry w. Longfellow,
the poet, is traced by The Inter Ocean
from that John Alden who came over in
the Mayfower after this fashion: John
Alden married Priscilla Mullens (other-
wise spelled Molircs and Moleyns}; their
daughter married William Peabody, whose
daughter Ruth married Benjamin Bartlett,
whose daughter Priscilla married John
Sampson, whose daughter Susanna mar
ried Deacon Peleg Wadswerth, whose son,
Gen. Peleg, was Longfellow's grandfather.
The first American Longfellew was Will
lam Longfellow, of Newbury, Mass, who
came to this country from Yorkshire,
England, about the year 1851. The poet
was of the fifth generation in descent from
this man The maiden name of the mother
of the poet was Wadsworth; she was the
granddaughter of Gen. Peleg Wadsworth.

Facts About Flags.

1. To "strike the flag" is to lower the
national colors in token of submission
q Flags are used as the symbol of rank
and command, the officers using them
being called flag officers. Such flags are
square, to distinguish them from other ban
ners. 3. The flag of truce" is a white
flag, displayed to an enemy to indicate a
desire for a parley or consultation. +. The
white flag is a sign of peace After battle
parties from both sides often go out to the
field to rescue the wounded or bury the
dead under the protection of a white flag
5. The red flag is sign of defiance, and is
often used by revolutiOnists. In our serv-
ice it is mark of danger, and shows a
vessel to be receiving or discharging her
powder. 6. The black flag is sign of
piracy. z. The yellow flag shows vessel
to be in quarantine, or is the sign of a con-

Among the many superstitions connected
with the four leaved clover is one that if a
man loves a woman Tor vice versa) and can
obtain two four leaved clovers and induce
her to eat one while he himself swallows
the other mutual love is sure to result.
Nay, according to a very good gypsy au-
thority, even a trim patrini kas, or three
leaved. clover, will have this effect. Also
take a, four or three ieaved clover, and
making a hollow in the end or top of your
alpenstock or cane put the leaf therein,
taking care not to injure it, and close the
opening carefully Then SO long as you
walk with it you will be less weary than if
it were wanting and will enjoy luck in
many ways.
A German proverb says of a lucky man:
"Er hat Elm vierblattriges Kleeblatt ge-
funden''-"He has found a four leaved
clover" On this test DR.. Wilhelm Korte
breaches the following homily: ''This is,
you say, stupid superstition Did you
ever know a man who was ganz und gar,
utterly and entirely, devoid of superstition!
For if you did be sure there was nothing
in him"

Painting Candles.

This, according to an amateur artist, is
very easy work. Several candles can be
painted at time. Enamel paints are used.
A tile palette and small pads OF cotton
wool are needed. Floral designs are best.
Sometimes few inches of candle are col
ored brown, blue, or red; then with the
cotton wool, tied in piece Of muslin, bring
the color up the candle till it merges in the
white; then paint one bloom. II you have
many candles paint different shade on
each; 1t is easily done. every touch OF the
brush effecting definite resuit-the bolder
the design the better. The effect Of rib
ben wound round the candle is produced
by twisting an inch wide strip Of paper
about it and coloring all that remains OF
the candle. When the paper Is taken
away tho candle can be left as it is, or on
the color small white flowers or patterns
may be painted. 1t is fascinating work,
for no preparation is necessary and few
touches make great effect.

One of En.land's Eminent Men.

The 18th of July, 1890, was the eighty
third birthday of Cardinal Manning, who
has been so prominently before the public,
more especially of late years. Yet his 40
tivity, both physical and mental. appears
TO be as great now as when he was first in
stalled archbishop of Westminster. His
daily routine is the same as that OF men
not half his years. He rises at Z, says mass
at S, breakfasts az SIS, spends his morn
ings in hearing confessions or receiving
visitors, dimes at 1:30 drives to some mis-
sion requiring his presence or TO some
place where he has business, takes tea at
:, and retires TO carry on his vast CORE
spondence, interrupted by the duties Of the
day, until 1i:Se, when he seeks well earned
repose. The greater part of his correspond
ence he answers himself, sometimes the
most trivial matters.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
The Varied and BeautifaI Postage Stamps
and Cards of Many Nations.

and Cards of Many Nations.
The original mania for collecting postage
stamps has developed into a science now
dignified by the name of "philately.p En-
thusiastic philatelists and readers in gen
eral will be interested in the following
facts gathered by an Intelligent collector:
Japan did not begin to use postage
stamps till 1870, and already thousands of
kinds have been designed and printed
there. The envelopes are long and narrow,
to allow Of the vertical writing, and are
prettily ornarnented with views or pat
tern round the edge. It is rather disap-
pointing TO find that the charming dragon
Chinese stamps are said only to be used in
some of the treaty ports and chiefly by for
eign residents. The first country that en-
ployed post cards was Austria, IN 1869, and
there are eight varieties, the notices being
printed in different languages for the va
rious provinces, whilst Hungary has sep
arate stamps, envelopes and cards of its
own. America distinguishes itself by its
great number Of kinds of stamped envel-
opes, past and present, of which there are
1900 varieties, without counting shades.
Russia is remarkable for tho beauty of its
stamps In color and execution.
Lie SbdL1lp VI rance are OF Rredb lQO0E-
est owing TO the historical events they in
dicate, beginning with the republic of 1S49,
continuing through the empire, and again
reyerting to republic in 1870, including
the head of Liberty, the head of Napoleon
LII, and design to represent Peace and
Commerce. The stamps of Canada are fine
specimens Of line engraving, and the early
ones show beauty and variety of design,
including portraits of the queen and Chris
topher Columbus, the latter also adorning
the stamps Of Chill. The early stamps Of
Denmark are square in shape; those of
Greece are remarkably pretty in tints and
design.
The German stamps are effective and
varied. Spain is to be noticed for having
a stamp of the value of one-fortieth Of
penny. The head of the 4year-o1d King
Alfonso XIII has lately been placed upon
the Spanish issues. India is fertile in
varieties Of stamps. English postage
stamps are very numerous and varied in
color. The first penny stamps were printed
in black for two or three years, followed by
the brick red that lasted till about ten
years ago. Steel plates are used for print
ing the millions constantly issued from
Somerset house.

A Cheap Elevator for Private Houses.


From Berlin comes news of the inven-
tion of simple elevator thst can be mex
pensively supplied in private dwelling
houses. 1t is described as a chair run
somewhat on the principle of the inclined
railway, up and down on one half o. the
ordinary stairway, leaving space for any
one who wishes to walk instead of riding.
Each flight Of stairs in a house has its
separate chair, and the motor is power fur
nished from the city water in the cellar.
The chair is set in motion by simple
pressure of one of its arms, while after it
has been used it slides back to the bottom
step, It's descent being regulated in such n
manner that the carrying Of passengers is
matter of entire safety. The motive
power is of course more or less expensive,
according TO the cost Of water, this being,
it is stated, at Berlin at the rate of little
more than one-tenth of a cent for each trip.

The bright new paper of the order, The
Oregon Gavel, reports the following:
One of the greatest plans ever originated
by the members of our noble order was the
undertaking to build magnificent temple,
q home for all the lodges in Portland and
a general headquarters for grand lodge
officers. The ground has been bought, and
it is a most desirable location, being on
the southwest corner of Second and Taylor
streets. The ground was bought for $35, 900
over year and a half ago, and is today
worth $50 900. 1t was bought on easy
terms by the trustees, and payments are
being made as fast as they fall due. The
incorporatorS of this temple, all of whom
are members OF the order, have it so ar
ranged that any brother can hold shares
by paying only 81 g month on each share.
Any member of the order can take shares,
or a members wife can take shares When
this fine four-story structure is erected on
one Of the most prominent business cor
