MagaZIne Notes.

The Century for July has several
articles appropriate to this patriotic
season. In "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," John C. Carpenter retells the
history of the national hymn, and
there is a portrait of Francis Scott
Key and a facsimile of the poem, now
published, it is believed, for the first
time. George Wharton Edwards, in
the Artists Adventures Series, con-
tributes humorous narrative of the
difficulties encountered by him while
celebrating the Fourth in Antwerp"
A timely paper on the new cruisers,
with particular reference to the In
diana, of which there is a picture, is
contributed by Albert Franklin Mat
thews.
Love of country must be the foun-
dation of national progress, and to
cultivate patriotism the child must
be taught it from the beginning. In
this number of St. Nicholas the
young American will find valuable
lessons in history and loyalty. The
prose leader is a story by Alice Balch
Abbott, entitled "Nan Merrifeld's
Choice" Nan, a young schoolgirl,
with some local reputation forspeak-
ing pieces of humorous sort, de-
cides that defamation is worthy of
serving higher purposes than raising
laugh, and she therefore learns and
speaks Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
From these simple elements, Miss
Abbott has constructed a stirring
and touching story.
Mcclure s magazine is always time
ly, bright and readable, and the July
number is no exception to the rule.
1t opens attractively with a full-page
pictures by W. H. Low of couple of
antique lovers, which serves to illus
trate a poem by Gilbert Parker.
Alice MCGOWAN describes with the
aid of many Illustrations the brand
ing of cattle on the plains, and Bret
Harte has a characteristic story (his
first appearance in an American mag
azine for many a long day. entitled
Gan lngenue of the SierraS' One of
Carnegie's workmen describes Home
stead, and Miss Tarbell sketches the
Paris municipal laboratory. Celia
E. Shute has a good story, and Rob-
ert Barr another; and Alphonse Dau-
det's home life is interestingly de-
scribed with pen and pencil.

"a few years ago." said Charles J.
Patterson Of Philadelphia, Il learned
the secret Of the life Of man who had
passed more than quarter Of a century
with scarcely smile. He had been
physician and surgeon and on one coca
sion had to remove an injured eye in
order to save the other eye and prevent
total blindness. The night before the
operation he had been drinking heavily
with some friends, and although the
following morning he was sober his
hand was unsteady and his nerves I'M
strung.
After administering chloroform he
made fatal and horrible blunder, re-
moving the we'll eye by mistake, and
thus consigning his patient to perpetual
blindness. The moment he discovered
his error he turned the man over to a
competent surgeon, decided everything
he possessed to him and hurried from
the neighborhood like convicted thief.
The remainder Of his life was one con-
slant round Of remorse, and he rapidly
developed into confirmed misanthrope'
The secret Of his life was known to a
number Of people, but when it was
finally revealed TO ME it explained a
mystery and made me respect the man,
for however grave was his original
blunder, which in some respects was OF
course worse than a crime, his repent
ance was of the most genuine charac-
ter. New York Recorder

The keynote of prosperous and sue
cessful existence is justice.
1t matters little to what condition II
life one may turn, this statement ap
plies with equal force to all
1t is necessary to share and share
alike, so far as ones ability goes, the
burdens Of existence. To put upon one
individual, one class or one nation thu
responsibilities that should be divided
equally among all is one Of the sures
ways to bring about dissatisfaction ant
ultimately open revolt. To every MAJ
his share of the burden is the only rul'
that will, for any length Of time, holt
good, and the only one upon whicl
healthy, steady and permanent prosper
ity can be established.
Philanthropy, benevolence and goo'
will toward men are all very well whei
defined in the right way, but whei
these words simply mean that one clas
or one individual shall take up the re
sponsibility that Of right belongs to an
other the terms lose their meaning ant
become only another name for injustice

The Origin OF China's Flag.

The flag of China is one Of the gayest
among ensigns The body Of the flag is
a pale yellow. In the upper left hand
corner is q small red sun. Looking in
tently at the sun is q fierce Chinese
dragon
The dragons belly is q brilliant red
and white His green back is covered
with stiff knobs He is standing on his
two hind paws and the left fore foot
The feet are five toed and slightly hook
ed. His long five forked tail stretches
away in the rear. The dragons neck
is arched back. His mouth is wide
open, and he looks as If be were about
TO try to swallow the red sun.
The japanese flag has white body,
and in the center is large red sun,
with rays radiating in all directions.
About / 900 years ago the Chinese made
war ON Japan and prepared grand in
vasion. To symbolic their anticipated
victory they adopted the flag Of today.
They took the sun Of Japan and made
it small and put it in front Of the drag
on's mouth to express the idea that the
Chinese dragon would devour the Jap
anese
1t happened, however, that the Chi
nese feet, conveying an army Of 100, 00C
men, was wrecked on its way to japan
by a great storm, and all but three o.
the 100, 900 perished. Despite that nm
lucky beginning In the use Of the fiat
the Chinese retained 1t.

Queer Studios.

One day, says Henry Bacon In his
book on contemporary French art, wher
l was coming up the Champs Elysees,
cab with the green blind down attract
ed my attention. It showed that some
one was paying francs an hour for the
privilege Of remaining stationary al
long as he might choose to do so. Pres
emily up went the curtain, and there ap
peared the head Of Jean Beraud, th'
artist.
At his invitation I put my head into
the miniature studio to see his last pic
ture. HIS canvas was perched upon the
seat in 'front.' his color box beside him,
and with the curtain down ON one side
to keep out the reflection and to hide
himself from the prying eyes Of passers-
by he could paint at ease through the
opposite window a view Of the avenue
as a background to q group Of figures.
Who originated this idea it is hard tc
say, but for years, since pictures Of mod.
ern Paris have been so popular, it has
been employed by many artists.

OLD FRIENDS.


There are no friends like the old friends,
World-wander as we NAV,
The heart grows young at the mystic spell
And love at its ebb takes wonderous
swell
As we drink from mebnory's dear old well
And live oyer cur life's young day.
There are no friends like the old friends,
Though scores OF years away
There's fresh-blown f1wer, and per
fume rare,
That steals on the breath of the evening
air:
Aud age IS lifted of grief and care,
With the friends of life's yolug day.
There are no friends like the old friends
When we drank the sweet white wine
or life's fresh draught, and We felt the
thrill
Ga nameless purpose cur great hearts
fl
Lei on by tse force of boundless will,
The aroma of loves sweet wine.
There are no friends like the old friends
WhO've wandered on before;
In some still hours we hear them call;
Almest we hear their footsteps fall
Aud we are reunited, all,
To the dear friends of yOre

The Prince of Wales is very fond of
the theater and is a great admirer Of
the genius of Miss Genevieye Ward. He
once called upon the famous actress in
the greenroom Of the Prince Of Wales
theater. His royal highness was accom-
panied by the Duke of Edinburgh,
Prince Teck and Russian nobleman.
While they were conversing Miss Ward,
hearing the jingle Of the bells worn by
a tiny pet dog who followed her every
where, and fearing she might stray of,
called out:
Come here, TeckP'
The gentlemen started, and Miss
Ward hastily apologized, recollecting
the name Of one Of her distinguished
visitors.
"My little dogs name is Teck-short
for Thecla, a German character in one
Of my plays.
They all laughed heartily, and in
came the little fellow with the princely
name and straightway rushed at the
Duke of Edinburgh.
"She will bite mo-" exclaimed the
duke.
Basket, Teckr" cried Miss Ward re
provingly, and the little creature, with
prompt obedience, ran out Of her room
and curled herself up in the basket Az
her visitors were descending the stairs
Miss Ward heard them laughing heart
lily, and she plainly distinguished the
voice Of the Prince Of Wales as he
slapped his cousin on the shoulder and
said merrily, Basket, TeckW-Londor

sUpeRsTIrIoUs TRAVELLERS.
A Veteran Passenger Conductor Talks OF
the Whims OF Tourists.

A Veteran Passenger Conductor Talks Of
the whims OF Tourists.
No one but the experienced passenger
conductor knows just how whimsical
and cranky the travelling public really
Is A traveller may have some peculiai
fad or notion when he is on the road,
but he never dreams that there are
thousands Of others just like him, On
perhaps worse. In years Of experience
the conductor rubs elbows with all SORT
Of people, and in spite Of himself be
comes q mind and face reader, who takes
q back seat for no one except the pro
fessional
"Yes, travellers are superstitious ane
cranky" said veteran knight Of the
punch in response to a query by a re
porter. II think the average passenger
conductor deals with more oddities dai
" than the ourio collector Of freal
show AS to superstition, 1 think there
Is more Of it crops out on trains thar
anywhere else. One day, just as the
train was ready to pull out for Chicago,
q we'll dressed man came out OF the
coach on the platform, and in an agi'
tated manner asked me what day it was.
'I told him it was Friday, and with
out another word he re-entered the
coach and in a moment returned with
his luggage and by way Of explanation
stated that he never began journey
on Friday and would wait until tn,
next morning. That is only sample.
The mooted unlucky IS is perhaps the
cause Of more worry and Inconvenience
to tourists than any other sign which
they deem Of i'll omen. l have known
passengers to begin at the head Of the
train to see II they could find No. II
anywhere
IF the engine happened to be Is,
they would resignedly wait for the mex
train, and if they succeeded in finding
No. 13 on any of the coaches they would
hold up their hands in holy horror.
have seen passengers refuse to ride in
coach which held l9 passengers, and il
you will ask any ticket man he will
tell you that of all sections in a sleeper
13 is the most difficult to dispose Of.
"Then aside from the superstition
which prevails among the travelling pub
lie there are countless passengers who
are cranky, and if they lose a chance
to kick are in bad humor for week
afterward. They kick for seat in the
center Of the coach; kick because the
train goes too slow or too fast; kick be-
cause they are In draft or because it il
too hot. And the worst Of 1t all is thai
when they kick am the individual
who is called up to hear them, as II
were responsible for the whole business.
About the only time when some fel.
lows don't kick is when they are on
their honeymoons Everything goes OIL
as smoothly as if it had been ordered so,
but let the same men ride on the same
train five years later aud the chance:
are they'll kick themselves into exhaus
ton. "-Pittsburg Post.
