How MANY Stars IL The rIar.

1t is remarked as singular, and posi-
bly, an indication of lack of patriotism,
that the average American, always ex-
cepting school children, cannot tell off
hand how many stars there now are in
the country's flag. If any reader of
this desires to try the question on ten
of his friends he viii probably find that
only three or four can give the correct
number even after minute of hard
thought The ordinary reply viii range
from forty TO forty-two stars instead of
the correct forty-four. The admission
within four years of North Dakota,
South Dakota, Montana, Washington,
Idaho and Wyoming has brought the
list up to the last mentioned number
The shape of the union has been
changed from square to rectangle,
and the stars are arranged in six
straight lines, theupper and lower ones
containing eight stars and the remain
ing four having seven stars.

Perhaps the quaintest and queerest
little settlements within a hundred
miles of New York are those built at
the foot of the Palisades. The fisher
men who live there appear to be as far
from the madding crowd as though
they were alone on the prairie. The
tall cliffs and jagged rocks about them
cut them off from the rest of the world
and they have few visitors. There is
not horse or wagon among them and
no road to drive on. Springs of good
