ALI the Pretty Fancies of Poets Upset by
Hard Facts.
It is now held by the best physicians
that instead Of falling from above the
dew arises from the earth. The gener-
ally-received opinion that the dew is
formed of vapor existing at the time in
the atmosphere must be given up for the
established fact that the vapor which
arises from the heated earth is trapped
by the cold surface earth. Besides, when
we imagine that on a cool evening after
sultry day in summer our feet are be-
ing wet by the dew d: 80 Grass, we make
a grave mistake. F., nat moisture on

ALONG T4E CAlcks MAUGA.

An Inquisitive Old Lady ana the Accom-.
modating Conductor.
"Now, Mr.. CONDUCTOR" said a snap
pish looking old lady, as she boarded
the sleeping car at Chattanooga, 81
want you to tell me the names of all
the places of interest we pass on the
way to Atlanta; for this, 1 believe, is
the road which Sherman marched"
"Yesm'm, replied J. B. Jackson, the
conductor, as he cast his eyes at the
two pretty girls with the old lady.
"Jane," said the old lady to one Of the
girls, you get piece of paper now and
take down the names the gentleman
tells you"
Eyes, ma" replied the girl, with a
smile that made the conductors heart
ache
''What stream is that?" asked the old
lady, as the train passed over trestle.
''That's Chickamauga creek" replied
the conductor.
'"Take that down, Jane"
A half mile further another stream
was crossed.
''What stream is that?" again asked
the old lady.
"Chickamauga creek" replied the con-
ductor.
''Take that down, Jane"
what stream is that?" Intercepted
the old lady.
'Chickamauga."
The old lady began to look suspicious
and said:
''Take that down, Jane"
~ CtrQo 10 hot Inr
ming into those woods; now we are
crossing it?''
''Chickamauga"
'Take that down, Jane"
An ominous silence followed until the
same creek had been crossed four ad-
aitional times.
Another stream was seen babbling
sver The rocky bed.
With timid glance at the yellow
waters the old lady asked:
''And what is this?'
''Chickamauga," came the reply, in a
despairing tone, and the girls looked
like they could bite the conductors
head off as the old lady said, snappish-
ly: '"Tal2e that down, Jane"
Another creek was crossed, but the
old lady said nothing. Still another
was crossed, and she asked:
''And that stream is what?"
''Chickamauga."
Take that down, Jane" was heard
in an almost inaudible voice.
Two more streams were passed, but
the old lady was silent.
Suddenly her face frightened with
new hope as the train pulled up at a
little station.
what place is this?'' she asked, con-
fdently.
''Chickamauga," came the monotonous
reply.
Jane. throw that paper out of the
window. That horrid-"
''Hold on, madam!" exclaimed the
conductor, and to save his scalp he had
to explain that the State road crossed
Chickamauga creek fourteen times be-
fore reaching the station Of that name.
1t took the old lady some time to re-
cover her spirits, but she did it after
awhile, and the smile and the sweet
words she and her daughters gave the
conductor on leaving him in Atlanta
cheered him for many miles along his
Way.-Atlanta journal.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
Condensed History of the Adoption of
the Stars and Stripes.

Condensed History of the Adoption of
the Stars and Stripes.
The recent discussions concerning the
alteration of the United States flag, in
recognition of the admission of the new
States into the Union, naturally pro-
voked certain amount of inquiry into
the history of the stars and stripes. The
general facts in regard to the adoption
of the National flag are more Or less
we'll known, including the much-debated
question as to whether or not the en-
blem owes it's present form to the fact
that the family arms of George Wash
ington included the stars and stripes
that are now so familiar. However this
may be, 1t is certain that the flag was by
act of Congress passed June II, TIT,
established as having thirteen red and
white stripes and a union of thirteen
white stars in blue field, and the stars,
instead of being the six-pointed stars
OF heraldry, as they are on our coins,
are. and always have been, the five
arms, known in heraldry as 'mullets."
The flag was, January Is, 1884, decreed
by act of Congress to have the number
Of both stars and stripes changed to
fifteen, and this was the flag that flew
at the battles of Fort McHenry and
New Orleans in the war of 1912, and
which was sung of for the first time as
the ''Star-Spangled Banner" By an act
of Congress passed April 4, 1918, the
flag was again changed finally, and it
was resolved that the stripes should be
thirteen in number and that the blue
field should contain as many stars as
there might be States in the Union.
This much is generally known, but only
few perhaps are aware that the flag as
it is now was designed by Captain
Samuel c. Reid, and that the one made
by his wife, silken ensign of the pres
ent form, flew at the masthead of the
brig General Armstrong when it was
| destroyed by the British squadron in
the port of Fayal in 1914. Congress
passed resolution of thanks to Captain
Reid in 1859, and he died shortly after
in New York
1t was the claim of his son, Colonel
Samuel C. Reid, now living and practic-
ing as a lawyer in Washington, for the
value of the ship thus destroyed in
neutral port-a claim which fingered
for years and years before Congress
| = which gave to the late David
d. Lloyd the groundwork of the
story of ''The Senator" while
old Colonel Reid himself, to whose
stubborn perseverance the passage
of the claim was due, formed the orig
inal model for Mr.. Cranes character of
Silas Denman in the comedy Colonel
Samuel c. Reid is said to be somewhat
of character in his way, and it is GER
tain that he never tires of recounting
the details of the action in which his
fathers ship was lost and in which it is
claimed the English lost over three
hundred men and officers, while the
American loss was only two killed and
seven wounded. The General Armstrong
was finally scuttled near the beach, and
subsequently fired and blown up by the
/ enemy.-N. Y. Times.

Feeding Canary Birds.

A good many people don't know how
to take care of canary birds, and l.,
therefore, give them the following adj
vice which | got from a bird-fancier:
''Never give your bird sugar, or figs, or
raisins, or any thing sweet, except a
small piece of sweet apple (peeleG)
twice week. Put the apple in the cage
in the morning and take it out at night
1t should have all the rape and canary
seed it wants and gravel should be kept
at the bottom of the cage. Avoid feed
ing the bird celery. Twice week feed
it on one-third OF boiled egg, using
both the white and the yellow of the
egg. Crate up the egg; that is better
than putting it in whole. Give it the
egg tie day before it gets the apple and
as large piece of the former as of the
latter. Let it have bath every other
day, using water with the chill taken
off Epoch.

after them. l Saw it quite plainly, for
