THE SCHOOL HOUSE FLAG.

1t Stimulates the Children's Interest and
Promotes Patriotism.
The organized "school house flag
movement has been in progress during
the greater part of four years. In that
short time the seed sown in one earnest
suggestion has borne fruit in school after
school, in town after town, in state after
state
Though there are still many schools
which are not as yet provided with the
flag, the time does not seem far distant
when no public school shall be too poor,
too remote or too Indifferent to have the
stars and stripes floating above its roof.
Sufficient time has passed since the
movement began to make it possible to
judge the results of the unfurling of the
flag above so many schools.
Has the proceeding had a real mean
ing TO the scholars? Has it stirred up in
the breasts of boys and girls the hope of
living to he brave men and good women?
Has it begun to serve with the chill
dren of the millions from abroad who
inherit no love for our country as SYM
Dol around which will grow up thor
oughly American feeling?
Has it stimulated a love of the study
of history, and given children a new
idea of the significance of law and order
with freedom, SO that they themselves

Occasionally some person knocks at
the door of Jay Gould's office in the
Western Union building with copy of
1.-The History of Delaware County. New
York, by Jay Gould" to sell. An. i'm
preston exists, in the minds of MANY
people that Mr.. Gould is DESTROYS of
suppressing this publication as COM
pletely as possible, and that he will pay
almost any price to get possession of the
few stray copies that are left. Resi-
dents of Delaware county are authority
for the statement that several years ago
an agent of Mr.. Gould's secured that
county for these books and bought near
ly all of them at fancy prices When
ever copy of this particular history of
Delaware county is displayed in that
county at the present day the older resi-
dents will advise the owner, "Jist YOU
take thet down ter New York, an JAY
Gould'll give yer thirty or forty dollars
fer it." 1t is certain that nobody in Fir.

AntidOtes for Snake Poison.

The effect of snake bite depends partly
on the condition of the snake and partly
on that of the person bitten and the part
attacked. No effectual antidote has yet
been discovered. Ammonia and per-
manganate of potassium will not suffice,
although solution of the latter will
take away the poisonous property of the
snakes venom if it be mixed Herewith.
Immediate amputation of bitten toe
or finger is the best course, as the delay
of a few seconds may suffice to convey
the poison into the patients circulation
If from the nature of the part bitten
amputation cannot be performed, very
tight ligature applied after cauterization
and sucking the part is the best course,
and the administration Of stimulants is
generally recommended. Quarterly Re-
view

become orderly ana subject to whole
some discipline?
The writer has seen large number of
letters from teachers throughout the
country, over whose schools the flag has
been raised, which answered these very
questions.
The flag has come 70 mean some
thing writes one teacher in Minnesota.
whereas before il was meaningless
piece of cloth" y can see writes
another teacher from Missouri, quite a
change in the children's feelings toward
the flag Now hey seem TO think that
it is their tlGg-an effect that never
could have been produced by talking"
Many other teachers report distinct
growth of real patriotism. In school
in Maine. almost every day after flag
raising one could hear the children
cheering the old flag
Even the little children count the
stars in the blue field of their flag, and
learn what they mean. The older pupils
ransack the books of the history Of the
flag itself. and in SO doing are impressed
with a new idea of it's story and of its
relation to their own condition and priv
ileges.
In this way the school house flag, seen
so often and SO constantly present in the
pupils thou ghlS, has marked influence
as several teachers report, upon foreign
born children and the children of foreign
born parents. One teacher from the
west writes:
''Eighty-siX Der cent. of my scholars
were either born in other countries o..
are the children of foreign born parents
The effect of the flag upon my school has
been to make every one of my pupils al
thusiastic Americans. If for any rea-
son the flag is not raised for day, they
clamor for its raising. No more enthu-
siastic or patriotic set of children can be
found in the United States than those of
my school,"
These children begin to feel for Ameri-
ca the same patriotic devotion which
their fathers were taught from the
cradle to mani BOD, in song and in story,
to feel toward the lands from which
they came.
The flag increases the children's inter
est in the school. and this must react
upon conduct. Many teachers testify to
this. One in Connecticut says, 81 notice
it is easier to govern the children since
the flag was raised" Another in Massa-
chusetts says, 1T has been a grand step
in our school toward making brave.
manly boys and womanly girls"
1t has been proposed that the raising
of the flag be one of the exercises in all
the public school celebrations on Column
bus Day. This arrangement will slim
Mate all the schools which have not yet
raised the colors to obtain flag before
that date.
The executive committee of the ma
tional Columbian public school celebra-
tion have taken a good step in announc-
ing that any school writing to their
chairman in Boston will be given prac-
teal suggestions and material aid on
how to procure flag. Not one public
school in America ought to allow itself
to be without the stars and stripes on
this memorable occasion.

Rice and wheat at Weddings.

Throwing rice and wheat at wed
ding, is relic of an old Roman custom.
and has probably been common in Eng.
land since Roman times. Brand gives
several authorities for it. Friend refers
to the case of the bride of Henry VII al
Bristol in 1885, when wheat was thrown
upon her with the greeting, "Welcome
and good luck!"
Rice is used similarly at weddings in
India, and the substitution of this grain
for wheat in our own country of late
years may be partly due to that fact;
but where wheat cannot readily be come
at rice would naturally suggest itself as
a substitute. Notes and Queries.

The Unreascning Crowd.

Speaking of the queer things to be seen
on the streets, it is really astonishing
how instinctively one person initiates an
other. A man with passion for psy-
chical research has been proving this by
some experiments which are, to say the
least of it, original. Going along about
dusk the other night in advance of a
small party of folk, he suddenly turned
out into the muddy street, as if avoiding
something in front. Unquestioningly
every person behind did the same thing
in spite of the mire.
1t isn't likely that they felt the full
humorous force of the incident in quite
the way he did, however, when they saw
him face about and walk calmly back in
the beaten path. The sheep went to all
the trouble of jumping over a bar of
dust, to be sure, but it would really
seem worth while if human beings could
think little more independently and
for themselves. The truth of it is, it is
just this blind unreasoning herding to-
gether that leads to half the accidents
and panics which are cropping up on all
sides. Boston Transcript.
