THE ECONOMICAL MULE.

The mule is ready to begin work two
or three years earlier than the horse.
He can be put to pretty heavy pulling
when he is years old, and from that
time until he is 40, if he has fair treat
ment and does not meet with an
accident, he is not likely to lose any
time. He is not subject to the many
ailments to which the horse is victim,
at least not to any great degree. H C
lives about twice as long and his actual
period of usefulness is nearly three
times as long, for the horse is really not
fit for heavy service until he is S years
old, or after he is 20, while mule will
often do good service for forty years,
and they have been known to work
fifty, according to one writer, without
being turned out at any time during
all that long period.
Like the ass, the mule will live upon
next to nothing, and during all his
forty years of hard service mule will
not require-and generally does not
eet-half the feed necessary to sustain
a horse during his much shorter period
of usefulness. Jack will thrive on what
is out here contemptuously called "cow
hay"-wild dried grasses-wlth hand
full or two of corn, and on such food
will outwork horse of his own weight
fed upon good wheat, hay and crushed
grain.

THE LIMITS OF HUMAN HEARING.

We can do a great deal to cuiti-
vate the ear, but we can do nothing
to extend the range OF sounds which
the tympanum can receive. The
ear may have great keenness of per-
ception, may hear sounds extremely
small, distant and faint, and yet be
always deaf to any noise, however
loud, if it is lower or higher in plch
than the tympanum is made for.
Various experiments show that
above the lowest, or what in musical
instruments would be called the
deepest bass sound, consists of I2A
undulations in the second, and the
highest of rather more than 5000.
Human ears have not all the same
compass. A party ofyoung people,
all with excellent hearing, may 60
into the meadows, and some will
hear the shrilI note OF the common
grasshopper, and some will not hear
it even family, but simply hear moth
ing at all.
DR.. Wollaston believed that ''hu-
man hearing never extends more
than note or two above the cry of
the common campestris. He gives
scale of sound which he found to
be inaudible to some ears. He found
that some people could not hear the
cry ofthe bat, nor the chirping OF
sparrows, which is four octaves
above F in the middle of the piano
forte. Not to be able to hear this
last note he considers to be very rare.
He believes the whole range of
human hearing to be compressed
between the deepest notes of the
organ and the highest cries of the
insects, including fully nine octaves,
the whole of which are distinctly
audible to most ears.

liking for Lille more pointedly than
he had ever done before, and in this
quiet lite it was much easier to learn
to know him truly.

When we dre married, he said,

though not splendid one. Will

Mr.. Hollister smiled and said,

THE FIRST UNITED STATES FLAG.

Do our young people know who
made the first "Stars and Stripes"
flag? Not long after our colonies
declared themselves "free and indie
pendent, and started up in business
by themselves, they felt the need OF
banner that should be unlike all
others, and belong to them alone.
So patriotic artist designed one
after the beautiful coat OF arms
of the leader, George Washington,
and with few slight changes, the
first flag was exactly Ike the one we
love to-day. This pattern banner
was made in the year I777, in the
city OF Philadelphia. The work was
done by two sisters, Miss Mary and
Miss Sarah Austin. The house in
which they lived is still standing,
and is pointed out to visitors today
as the birth place OF "Old Glory"
1t was this flag that foated over
the ship of the gallant Paul Jones
when he won the sea fight off the
coast of England, in 1879. He car
ried it first on his little vessel that
ran up and down tie Schuykili river,
and grew SO fond OF it that when he
was ordered to higher post he
could not leave his signal behind.
So when the Bon Homme Richard
fought the Scraps, the young COM
mander won his great victory under
the shadow of his dear flag, and dur
ing the battle it was more than once
picked up out oil the salt water and
saved from flood as we'll as flame.
At one time the chief mast, to
which the flag was lashed, was shot
away, and "down fell Old Glory"
into the Atlantic. A brave young
officer plunged in and rescued it,
and nailed it to another mast, and
there it hung until the Bon Homme
Richard won the day. In this great
naval battle the conflict was so fierce
that Paul Jones had to lash his ship
to the Scraps lest it should sink
before the hour OF victory. And he
proved himself a wise commander;
for after two more hours of hard
fighting the enemy surrendered, and
before another sunrise the Bon
Homme Richard sank many fathoms
deep. After this battle the flag was
borne by the United States trigate
Alliance over many an ocean voy-
age.
1t is now t4ttered and faded
ghost of its former bright beauty,
but more glorious than ever in the
memories that cluster around its
folds. There are carefully patched
bullet holes, and one entire stripe
has been placed by a new. 1t had but
twelve stars, for when it was made
there were but twelve states, as
Georgia, the last of the original
thirteen, had not yet entered into
the Union. A part of one end has
been torn off, and it is now almost
square, measuring perhaps six feet
each way. This glorious old trophy
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1893-03-25

now belongs to the descendants Of
the young officer who rescued it
from the ocean at its first naval
battle, and in so doing was himself
cut and manned for life. When
peace was restored the flag was
presented to its gallant rescuer, who
cherished it as his chief treasure
and bequeathed it to his children,
In addition to its interest as the
first flag made for our country, it
has great historical value as being
the first United States banner
saluted by foreign nations on the
the high seas, for Immediately after
the surrender of the Scraps it was
was acknowledge as our emblem by
the French warships. 1t is only a
faded bit of cloth, but all the same it
is our blessed "Old Glory" the first
symbol of free people to float on
the breezes of a new world, and
token of the dearest thing on earth
to the heart of all true Americans.

AN ORPHANS KEEPSAKE.

The contents of school boys desks are
sometimes very amusing, says Western
writer. The master at a boarding school
had to superintend the opening of some
forty or fifty desks in connection with q
theft of the football funds. A pipe, a
pistol, and other contraband articles
were found in some desks. In one q
tooth powder box full of ants; in another
silk worms and lettuce leaves. A burst
of laughter arose when, from another
was produced small leather purse,
containing not the stolen money but a
young lady's glove.
when l came, in my eager search, tc
the desk of nearly the smallest Sssss =

parcel fell from the owners hand. A
queer Whitley brown paper parcel it was,
bound round with string in the most
intricate convolutlons and series of knots.
OF course had to examine that parcel.
As l put out my hand for it, the boy
hesitated. The other fellows exchanged
glances, as much as to say that we had
run the fox to earth at last. Even older
and wiser heads thought the same.
There stood the frighted anxious little
boy, his blue eyes filled with tears, his
fair face all marred with terror, and his
soft, wavy, iaxen hair, that gentle hands
had doubtless smoothed this many day
at home, all tangled now.
" Please don't open it, SIR" pleaded
the child, for such he was, pray, don't
open it before the boys
Had l followed my own inclination,
l should have given back the parcel un-
opened. But that could not be. With
my pen knife cut through the string,

money. l opened the box. There were

A PRACTICAL WOMAN.

Life is made up of panorama of con-
trasts, and in nothing else is the light
and shadow so palpsby evident as when
one comes down to the study of human
beings, the feminine type being especially
selected for this pastime. Into the same
hotel comes two women, one the mother
of three children, minus a maid, and
with no one to look utter the luggage
save her own reliant self. She seats the
oldest of the two in a chair near by,
leaving her to watch the next one, while
she carries the baby in her arms to the
office and makes arrangements for their
rooms, their privileges, etc. You may
depend on it she drives good bargain
and she soon departs, with the three
smaller editions of herself following in
her wake, to return in less than half an
hour with bevy of lately bathed freshly
dressed children, herself as bright and
rosy looking as though she had no care
in the world and had half a dozen SER
wants to wait on her.
In strong contrast to this bit of wom-
anly independence is the utterly helpless
nervous individual who arrives in com.
pany with three maids and one small
infant. She cannot do anything for her
self, in fact would not know how to hold
her own baby if by any accident her
army of domestics should take leave.
Her rooms have been engaged three
weeks before, and if by any possibility
there should be some mistake, she would
be utterly at loss what to do, and would
in all probability telegraph for her hus.
band to come at once and get her out of
the difficulty: A full hour elapses before
she can descend, as she does not know
how to dress herself, and her maid las
been SO busy unpacking that my lady
has been compelled to wait her pleasure
before she can leave the hot, stuffy bedd-
room and seek the cool piazza.
The former woman probably at home
is manager from the word 60 and
continual reproof to the listless bundles
of nerves who think that they would be
killed if they should undertake one
quarter of the burden she shoulders in
smiling submission. How can a woman
such as this fail to inspire a man with
courage when he realizes what genuine
helpmate he has secured. The earnest
practical working woman is a treasure
for any man to own, while the pretty,
listless, dependant creature. who is
utterly helpless and looks entirely to
outsiders for aid in every undertaking,
may be very sweet and lovable, but she
will never inspire the respect that
who proves herself worthy of the name
of wife and mother can gather TO herself.
