Some Singular Superstitions.

For enlightened nineteenth century peo-
pie we do stick to our superstitions to a
remarkable degree. We wish on a load
of hay when we see one pass and feel a
keen tinge of disappointment if we see it
again after we have made our wish. Don't
we put on our garments and wear them
wrong side out rather than invite i'll luck
by changing them or make wish if we do
make the change? We wish on the first
fruit OF the season when we eat it, and are
sure 1t will bring company if some one
comes in one door and goes out of another
Without thin king very seriously about
it, we have various little signs that mean
something to Us, and sensible woman
told me last week that she always makes
the sign of the cross and says the names of
the blessed Trinity whenever she meets a
poor unfortunate MANNED or deformed fell
low creature.-Buffalo News.

The machine made valenciennes is made
in Calais, Rouhaix and Nottingham, while
the handmade is made in Brussels and

they have to n large extent taken the

Young Butterflies.

1t will be difficult to picture a more ele-
CANT or more interesting sight than the
Matching of the butterfly broods in the
insect house" during the summer The
glass cases, filed with damp moss and
earth and adorned with portions of tree
trunks or plants suited to the habits of
the moths, are peopled by these exquisite
and delicate creatures as one after another
separates itself from the chrysalis case in
which it has been sleeping all the winter,
and fluttering upward with weak and I'M
certain movements exposes its full beau
ties to the light. The wings of the largest
kind, such as the great orange brown AT
las" moth, are as wide as those of a missed
thrush, and the great size of this and other
species increases the strange likeness to
bird forms which is so marked even in the
smaller English hawk moths.
The giant moths of the tropics, unlike
the rest of the insect world, have faces and
features not devoid of expression. Some
resemble birds others cats. Some are Gov.
cred with long, soft plumage, like the
feathers of the marabout or the plumes of
swans; others are wrapped in a silky
mantle like an Angora kitten or clothed in
ermine and sables. The depth and softness
of these DOWN mantles make the impulse
to stroke then suggest itself at once, vet
when the head keeper lifts them from the
branch on which they rest, ms a falconer lifts
his hawk, the feeling that they are neither
moths nor animals, but long winged birds
Is equally rreslstible.-LondonS Spectator

ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC: Why will
the late Mrs. Nevins-Blaine persist
in obtruding her private affairs upon
the public notice? The public does
not care rush as to her domestic
infelicities with her first husband.
Its interest in the case was buried
with James G. Blaine, Sr. AS for
James G. Blaine, Jr., let him 90 his
ways. He is at least entitled to
recognition for the merit of keeping
his private affairs to himself. And
there is an old-fashioned idea, still
current among refined people, that
they are not the least among suffer
ers who suffer in silence. Jimmy
does not wear the wrinkles of suffer
ing, but he probably does not feel
proud of himself. The young fellow

The History of the Flag.


On June "A 1777, 116 years ago, the con-
tinental congress adopted the stars and
stripes as the flag of the United States.
The conventional prejudice against the
number IS could not have prevailed extern
sively at that time, for the ensign of the
patriot colon SITS consisted of Is stars and
Is stripes, symbolical of the 10 original
states.
The original idea of those members of
congress who interested themselves in the
flag question appears TO have been to make
the number OF stars and stripes correspond
with the number of states, and subsequent
ly upon the admission of Kentucky and
Vermont both stars and stripes were in
creased to Is.
Two objections to further extension of
this idea now appeared. For purposes of
symmetry it was desirable that the ex-
treme upper and lower stripes should be
red, white stripe at the border being in
distinct and unsuitable To retain this
the number Of stripes must, of necessity,
always be an odd one, and no new state
could be represented upon the national
banner until another newly admitted state
should be there to keep it company. Thus
California, admitted in 1850, would have
been unrepres scented for eight years until,
in 1853, Minnesota was admitted-a cum
brous and unsatisfactory condition of
things for new states proud of their advent
into the Federal Union.
To obviate this difficulty and to preserve
the beauty of the flag a compromise was
effected. The stars were to correspond
with the number of existing states, the
stripes with the number of original states.
The latter were reduced to L. The former
have since been increased to their present
number, "A. Such is the history of the flag.

THE railroad companies of Kansas
are having hard time this year.
They have been forced by legislation
to reduce freight rates, and their
property has been assessed 20 per
cent more for taxes than it was last
year, although it is OF really less
value now than then. To even up
things the companies are discharg-
ing employees, cutting down salaries,
taking off trains and reducing ex-
penses generally, and it begins to
look as if the retrenchment will dam
age the state about as much as the
increased taxes and reduction in
rates will benefit it, The sufferings
of bleeding Kansas are not over yet.
