formed thus:

The examinations ing and 'tion are
represented bodily by 2212 and 1112
respectively. For instance, to signal
the letter requires two downward mo-
tons to the right, followed by two
downward motions to the left. When
each letter is completed the flag is
brought to a perpendicular and the end
of a word is denoted by downward mo-
ton straight in front of the operator.
The flags are red and blue, with white
circle in the center. A red flag can be
seen better on brightday, while blue
flag is better for cloudy day. At night
lanterns are used instead of flags, but
the same code is observed. A cipher
code can of course be made for war pur-
poses.
An opportunity to see the method of
signaling was afforded when the four
American men-of-war were in the har-
Dor. When the Admiral wished to COM
municate with any of the other vessels,
a. man stationed himself forward and be-
gan waving his flag. At his side stood
a sailor with powerful glass to see if
any notice was taken of the signals by
the other vessels of the feet. If the
message is of any length one man inter
prets it to another, who writes it down
and hands it to the officer in charge and
he delivers it to the person for whom it
is intended.-Boston Globe.

A STYLISH HAT

Is unquestiouably quite an essential factor
in the makeup OF q fashionabiy attired
lady. But how much more essential to
good looks, and especially to her enjoyment,
Is good health, without which she cannot
look well, feel well or enjoy life properly.
The trying ordeals which fashionable soci-
ETY. imposes on its devotees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
durance of the most robust. Irregular and
late hours, over-rich and indigestible food,
late suppers, the fatigue Of the ballroom,
the bad air Of the lly-ventilated, over
crowded theatre, are each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health of the delicate and sensitive Com
bined, they can hardly fail, if persisted in,
to seriously impair the health Of the hardi-
est Ladies generally possess les powers of
endurance than their male consorts and so
the sooner succumb to these deleterious in
fuences. They become pale, haggard and
debihtated. and constantly experience a
sense of lassitude-that "a tired feeling" as
so many express is. The least exertion
fatigues them. Various neuralgia and other
pains harrass and distress the sufferer.

Tho Choctaw Lottery.

WASHINGTON, March 13-The Interior
Department has already taken notice of
the lottery charter granted by, the
Choctaw Council While permitting
self-government by the civilized tribes
In the Indian Territory, the United
States Government at the same time
exercises degree of supervision over
the Indian 1aw-making. Nothing can
be enacted by the Indian Council that
is inconsistent with the laws of the
General Government This supervision,
which is guaranteed by treaty, will be
exerted promptly to nullify the Choctaw
lottery charter.
