The United States navy does not make its
own bunting, but does make up bunting
into ensigns, flags and pennants. Over
at what landsmen call the Brooklyn
thousands of flags are made for the
navy. The bunting, which comes in red
and white strips, is mercilessly tested
for tensile strength and color, and rejected
II 1T does not come up to standard The
color tests are made by comparison with
well-establisbed red. white and blue. and
the tests of tensile strength by special
machinery. When all is done, however,
bunting greatly varies in quality, and some
flags FAR outlast others that are no worse
treated. An ensign shows its first sign of
weakness down in the right hand corner
just behind the hem, and once a start is
made here frequent darning is necessary.
The lie or an ensign IN common use may
be from five to nine months. or longer with
very careful treatment. No housewife is

the signal quartermaster. He keeps every
thing in apple-pie order, and can bring you

or the colors of the tiniest Central American
republic. By way of making all things sure
the foreign flags are Tabled on the canvas
at the end next the halyards. The prop
erty under the care of the signal quarter
master is worth a good many thousands OF
dollars, since single United States ensign
of the largest size costs about 500, and
other flags and pennants in proportion.

The search for the golden fleece had not
for its sole object the conquest of a mine. or
a precious fleece, or to rob the treasure so
carefully heaped By the ayaricious Etes.
Those who composed it were attracted
by higher motive than gain, pllage or adj
venturous piracy. They were drawn ire
sistibly by the efficiency Of Medea, herself
the mother OF Gree. the omnipot9nt ard

to show her power upon men, went so far

Ari0sto'S Angelica. with her splendid hair
floating in tile wind, was also member of
the fair-haired tribe.
The beautiful Paula Of Toulouse was
blonde of an inimitabe hue. The people
were so enchanted by her ideal beauty that
they followed her in crowds
She complained to the city magistrates,
and they in their wisdom decTeed that she
should not be ANNOYED in this way; but as
her beauty, being gift of providence did
not belong exclusively to herself, and people
had right to behold it, she was compelled
to stand one hour every Sunday afternoon
on her balcony in order that the people
might gaze on her.

America is said to be the home OF enter

articles in the usual way. The fact that he

WINE OF THE WORLD.
Reliable Statistics Regarding the
Annual Product.

New fork Herald,
If asked which of the great nations pro-
duces the most wine nine men in ten will
answer FRANCE. yet they would be mistaken.
for Italy ranks first, Spain second and
France third. This has not always been
true, but France. which used TO rank before
all other nations, has shown a gradual de-
cline since 1875, when her output was 2,213.-
153. $50 gallons. as against S75, 6S4 252 In 1891
The largest amount of wine of which there
is record that was ever produced in the
United States in single year was in 1885,
when the total production was 31,6SO 523
gallons. In the same year Italy led France
| by almost 100000 gallons, with Spain a
| close third.
Charles Mex. Lsoser Jr. of New York has
| recently been engaged in an effort having
| for its object the obtaining from sources Of
| undoubted accuracy and authority informa-
ten which will show the wine production
| Of the world for the last fifteen years. To
| do this Mr.. Leoser saws that he exhausted
| all possible sources of Information.
| Il applied to the Governments of the diff
| ferent countries and received from them
| cordial and hearty response, together, with
such documents bearing on the subject as
/ they had in their possession. When these
| failed recourse was had 10 private merchants
| and growers, who gave all the aid in their
| power"
The work OF compiling the statistics oc-
cupied the attention of half dozen clerks
| for six months. In all cases where trust
| worthy returns were accessible Mr. Leoser
| uses exact figures in his estimates. and in
| other instances quantities of less that 500 600
