Since July 4, 1891, the number Of stars
has been forty-four, arranged in seven
horizontal lines, the top and bottom
each containing eight stars and the in
termediate lines each seven stars.
The national flags hoisted at camps
or forts are made of bunting of Ameri-
can manufacture. They are of the fol-
lowing three sizes: The storm and re-
cruiting flag, eight feet in length by
four feet two inches in width: the post
flag, measuring twenty feet in length
by ten feet in width; the garrison flag,
measuring thirty-six feet in length by
twenty feet in width (this flag is hoisted
only on holidays and great occasions.) J
The union is one-third of the length of
the flag, and extends to the lower edge
of the fourth red stripe from the top.
The national colors carried by regi-
ments of infantry and artillery and the
battalion of engineers, on parade or in
battle, are made of silk and are six feet
six inches long and six feet wide, and
mounted on stats The field of the
colors is thirty-one inches in length and
extends to the lower edge of the fourth

TO WE'D OR NOT TO WE'D.


10 wed or not to wed' That is the question,
Whether to live life Of single bessedness with
all its woes
Or take my chances in the matrimonial lottery
Wherein one prize falls 10 a thousand blanks.
Ny brain is tired thinking Of the problem
And not married friend will tip me straight:
Ny present lot know; sewing on buttons
And keeping tally with my washerwoman
Lest she forgets my undarned things to bring;
Living In 6x9 boarding house bedroom where
one chair,
One bureau. bed and washstapd crowd me out;
And from the mirror, cracked dpon the wall,
A sour, uOoanny, love-lorn visage stares
And haunts me in that solitude of gloom;
Sharing with disliked strangers at the table
A small supply Of food Of not the best.
And hearing stale and stupid jokes and %
forth
Compelled to face my stern landlady's glances
When am broke and sadly in her debt;
Forced to endure her second edition daughter
Who seeks TO catch me with her love-sick arts.
And last when old, bad, cranky, sick and friend
less,
Die dogs death with none to mourn my fate.
But on the other hand. II try marriage
And find it not what it's cracked up to be
CAS- most of times II isn't TO my seeing)
I'd be worse or-a million times worse OF. y;
Een at its best IL is no bed Of roses
But toll responsibilities and care
With anxious thoughts and manifold expenses
For doctors, nurses, servants, motherin-law
wifs's sisters,
Crying babies, coal bills, grocery bills, rent, new
bonnets,
And goodness only knows what else, but some
thing all the time
Held at the grindstone ever would my nose be
In order TO provide the endless wants
And raise the wind 70 keep the ship a-sailing
Upon the matrimonial sea of love and strife
Yet mixed in right proportions with these
troubles
Are joys and blessings. First there is the home
Which loving hearts and hands make bright and
happy,
And where alone is comfort, peace and rest
Nethinks l see 1t now. Sweet voices greet me.
And sweeter arms enfold around my neck,
And sweetest kisses thrill me while enter
At clo1e Of day, worn out with business cares.
A glittering table loaded with wife's cooking,
And with its "high chair" wherein sits ''our
king"
Is waiting for me- When the feast is ended
And mother puts the little ones to bed"
All, then in easy chair and Christmas slippers
Before CHEEKY CRATE take my ease
And hold sweet converse with my own, my
dearest
And her hear soulful voice sing tender airs
While from our grand piano, music rarest
Comes sparkling from her finger tips to me.
This is the picture that my fancy painteth;
This is the longing swelling in the breast
OF one forlorn, old bachelor. Now tell me
Shall 1 or shall not the slim chance take
OF winning in that lottery Of marriage
Where fools rush in and angels fear to treadY
To wed or not to wed? That is the puzzle.
To e'er endure the miseres know
Or, tempting fate, plunge headlong in the tor
rent
Which wiser men than have found N. G.
The die is cast The cent is tossed Heads,
marry
Tails, don't 1t head-and better or for worse
Ill take a wife-providing can find one
Who, unlike me, is perfect every way.

AN UNKNOWN HEMISPHERE.
What Is on the Other Side of the Moon
Its Surface Unknown.

Its Surface Unknown.
Astronomers have often made photo
graphs of the moon. Its Typography,
80 to speak, has been pretty well
mapped out and described. We trace
the pictures of the craters of extinct
volcanoes and the low beds of oceans
that have evaeorated and disappeared.
one side of the moon, however, and one
side only, is toward our world. The
other side looks outward toward the
all-surrounding infinite. OF the hemis-
phere which is opposite to the earth we
know nothing. We cannot say what
may be its physical condemnation
what lights and shadows play over its
surface. or how far it resembles the
side which is visible to the terrestrial
observer. Joseph Cook has well said
that all truths are spherical. And it
would seem as though they present.
ed but one side to the human mind.
| This is particularly the case with the
higher truths. Take, for instance, the
nature and attributes of God. There is
one side of the Divine nature that is
turned toward us and partly illumined
( by revelation; but there is another side
which no man has seen or can see We
may reason to some extent from the
known to the unknown. We may infer
from analogy that the moons disc
which is visible to us is not unlike that
winch monthly wakes and wanes in our
sky; but that is as far as we can o,,.
we see IN part, and we know in part.
Concerning the unknown hemisphere
we may reason somewhat, but are for
bidden to dogmatize. Is not election
one of those lunar truths of which we
see only the hemisphere that is turned
toward us? Preterition is the other
side, of which nothing is visible to our
| world. -laterior

NOT GUILTY.
An Interesting Case of Circum-
stantial Evidence.

never had case that interested me
more than that of Clinton Dyer. He
was slim, thin boy of fifteen, and
poorly dressed, when first saw him as
he stood up in court and pleaded not
guilty to charge of robbery. He had
no money and no lawyer, and the Judge
appointed me to defend him.
You'll find he hasn't any defense, :"
said the district attorney to me, as we
walked down street at the recess.
THE facts are, that old Mixer, the
miser, had d'received three thousand dol
lars, payment on a mortgage, and was
taking it over to Putney bank, the only
one he has any confidence in, to deposit
it till he could get another investment
He is too mean to go by the stage, for
that would cost half u dollar, SO he de-
cided to walk. He started late in the
afternoon, and about twilight he was
overtaken by gang of fellows who
came running along, whooping and
shouting. He was seized by the shoulder
and thrown down, and the bag con-
tanning the money wrenched away
from him. He was not hurt at all. and
only frightened for the safety of his
money-which troubles him a great
deal more than his own salvation does
and he jumped up, and throwing out
his hands caught hold of Clinton DYER
and held him fast The young fellow
struggled hard, but the old man was
able to hold him, yelling murder till help
arrived, and the lad was captured. The
others got clear away, and nothing has
been heard nor is known of any of them.
A clear case, you see."

Modification of swords in Use by Army
Officers.

Modification of swords in Use by Army
Officers.
The latest illustration of the changes
constantly occurring in the conditions
of modern warfare is an order just is
sued from the British war Office substi
tuting swords of new pattern for the
weapons which have been carried by
officers since the days of the Iron Duke.
With a view to efficiency at close quar-
ters the blade of the old sword was
sharpened throughout the whole length
of its edge. and on the back for some
seven or ei ght inches from the point,
the idea being to make it available for
cutting as well as thrusting. In order
to increase its strength ii was also
slightly curved and was a formidable
weapon, though somewhat light in
comparison with the more massive serv-
ice swords of continental infantry Off
GERS. In the new sword the blade is
perfectly str aight, its shaft being set in
a roomy hilt, SOU ared to give play to the
wrist in guarding and thrusting, the
mode of fghti ng recommended to un-
mounted off GERS OF the present day on
actual service. who are taught to regard
cutting as an obsolete method of attack.
Only about ten inches of the edge from
the point. and six inches of the back,
are sh arpened. the rest of the blade
being blunt and rounded for parrying
purposes, and having, therefore, no cut
ting capacity whatsoever. The new reg
ulation sword. in fact. is exclusively a
thrusting and gu arding weapon-a sort
of rapier, double-edged for about
fourth of its blade length in order to
facilitate penetration when its ''wearer

An Army Kitten.

One evening, toward the close of the
war, while Union soldiers lay in camr
on hillside near the Stanton River,
Virginia, the cry of HALT! who goes
therep from a sentry startled every
lOunger to his feet; and several of the
more curious ran to the guard-line to
find out what the trouble was. A min
ute later ali knew that the night vis-
itOr who had been challenged was no
enemy. A little girl, about ten years
Of age, holding a white kitten in her
arms, came forward into the light OF
the fires, conducted by two soldiers,
who had told the sentry to pass her in,
and who looked as proud as if they
were escorting queen.
The whole regiment gathered
Guiding the Colonel himself-to look
at the child and hear her tell her story.
A very short story it was scarcely a
paragraph; but there was matter
enough in it for a full chapter. She
lived near by with her father, who was
sick and poor; and they were North
9rnerS, she said, Union folks" She
wanted to give something" and when
.he Union soldiers came she thought
she would bring her pet kitten and
present it to the Colonel.
The Colonel took the little girl in
his arms and kissed her, and the kit

ashamed Of his weakness. He accept
ed the kitten with thanks, and it's in

to her humble home, loaded with gen

The white kitten was adopted by the
regiment, but considered the property
and special pet of the Colonel, and
when the war was over he took it
home with him. Like the white lamb
that staid and fed with the victors aft
er the battle of Antietam, that little
creature, during its short bat stirring
army life, was daily inspiration to
better feelings and thoughts in the
presence of all that is worst-a living

WASHINGTON, April l2.-The commit
tee on the Columbian exposition list
ened to true Chicago talk to-day, and
1t did the members good. All of the
committeeman feel kindly toward the
exposition, and most of them are will
ing to give all help asked if necessity
demands But some had doubts of the
necessity. Their doubts were badly
shaken this morning, though, and if
to-morrow>s meeting proves as
fruitful of convincing argu-
ment as did the one with
which the hearing opened to-day, there
will oe little need for fearing that the
committee will not unanimously vote
for favorable report on the appropria
tiou bill
Commissioner Thatcher, Mr.. Odeu
and Mr.. Winston were the Chicago peo-
pie who addressed the board. and the
DRIFT OF their remarks was that the Chi
cago people had done their part, that
the fair was to be a national undertake
ing, and that Congress should there
fore, make the appropriation asked for.
The general opinion is that it will be
granted,
