DON'T Buy Flag That Has Not the

Persons who are disposed to purchase
expensive American flags should count
the stars, says the Upholsterer Ihe
patriotic wife of well-l1nown news
paper man greeted her husband at the
dinner table the other day with the
eleeful assurance that she had secured
a ..splendid bargain" She had bought
a handsome silk flag, worth perhaps
five or six dollars originally, for two
dollars.
sThere must be something the mat
ter with that flag said her husband

s.Did you count the stars?' asked her

somewhat obviously.
The stars on the flag were counted,
and it was found that they numbered
thirtv-eight; it lacked just six stars OF

cAMELs OF MONGOLIA.

Thousands Wend Their way over bhe
Rough Trails of the Tartar steppes.
The popular idea regarding "the
shin of the desert" is completely at
fault if applied to the camels OF Mon
cola and Pechili, according to the Cen
Fury Juvenile natural histories talk OF
the soft padded foot for which the an
imal is SO distinguished, as if sandy
bottom were the only surface upon
> which he could walk with comfort. But
the greater part of al mercantile
transport in North China is performed
nv canels, and, except in the immediate
neiqhborhood of Pekin, sand is an UNI
known luxury to this much-enduring
beast.
How vast is the number of camels
thus employed may be guessed from the
fact that during one days journey we
passed more than eight hundred wend-
ing their dilatory way from the Tartar
steppes to the plains of Chill They
chiefly carried soda-soap, kind OF an
imal alkali or lye found on the borders
of Mongolia, and cut into blocks, each
weighing about two hundred and sixty
pounds.
At no time is the camel aprepossessing
object. But here nature provides him
with so shaggy a covering that his I'M
calmly form becomes even more hid
eous. Cancels wool, by the way, used
for padding clothes, is an article OF con-
siderable traffic hereabouts, and when
spring zephyrs take the place OF winter
blasts, the herdsmen of the plateau
shear their camels by process winch
preserves the merit of extreme SIM
plicity, pulling out by hand whatever
has not been shed naturally. Many an
imals are kept for the sole purpose OF
yielding wool, but the amount OBTAIN
able from each is singularly dispropor-
toned to the huge bulk of its producer.
A heavy fleece taken from full-grown
camel will seldom average over seven
pounds, while eight dollars is high
price for the picul of one hundred and
thirtyrthree pounds.

4 wooderful Coincidence.

A remarkable story, if true, is told in
the jewelers. Weekly A servant boy
was sent to town with valuable ring.
He took it from its box to admire it, and
passing over bridge let it fall on
muddy bank. Unable to find it he ran
away, went to sea, finally settled in
colony, made large fortune, came
back after many years and bought the
estate on which he had been a servant.
One day, while walking over his land
with friend, he came to the bridge
and there told his story. Il could
swear" said he, pushing his stick into
the mud, ito the very spot on which
the ring dropped When he withdrew
his stick the ring was on the end of it.

1t is no uncommon thing to see a male
ostrich strutting about followed by
three or four distinct broods, all Of diff
ferent sizes. When the incubating
process is comp leted the cock bird leads
his young ones off, and, If he meets
another proud papa, engages in ter
rife combat with him. The vanquished
bird retires withou t single chick,
while the other, SURF ounded by the two
broods, walks away proudly. -

sparrows Fired the Building.

A pair of English sparrows who built
their untidy nest in a cornice of the
Girls high school were the indirect
causes of some excitement and of fire,
about which the bright faced pupils will
outchatter the sparrows for days to
come. The damage was small, but that
was not because of the good intentions
of the feathered interlopers. For aught
any one knows, they may have wished
to burn down the whole building, the
housekeeping season being over with
them and they little better than feath-
cred vagrants.
How they managed to fire the build
ing is not very clear. Professor Barthol-
omew thinks they carried a match in the
nest just as they pick up all sorts of 9th
er trifes; that it got very dry and was
ignited in some mysterious way. The
woodwork of the cornice was easily set
in flames, but it never got much of a
start. The fire was discovered by Miss
Olive Catlin, one of the teachers. She
informed Professor Bartholomew, who
at once ran mp stairs and threw bucket
of water on the blaze.-Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal.

British Army Fifers.

Fifers do not appear in the pay list of
the Coldstream guards till 1897, when
two of these musicians are charged in
the company of grenadiers. After the
restoration the hautboy, or oboe, ap-
pears among the other instruments of
the band. A warrant of the time of
Charles II was issued in 1878 for pay
ment of the state clothing of the haut-
boys and four drummers.
In the early years of the following CEN
tury hautboys were introduced into the
different regiments of foot guards. The
pay of the soldiers who served at ST..
Quintin's in the reign of Mary was not
so unlike that of the present day. The
private soldier received 3d., drummer
or fifer Is. and trumpeter Is. Cd. day.
