ditional States, Congress reduced the
stripes to the original thirteen, and
the stars were made to correspond with
the number of States.
The American flag is one of the most
beautiful that floats upon any land or
sea. Its proportions are perfect when
it is properly made -one-half as broad
as it is long. The first stripe at the
top is red, the next white, and these
coiors alternate, making the last stripe
red. The blue field for the stars is the
width and square of the first seven
stripes, viz, four red and three white.
The colors of the American flag are in
exquisite relief. and it is altogether a
splendid national emblem. Long may

CANINE KNOWLEDGE OF TIME.

Stories wa Sem to Prove Wondered
Perception OF This Kind.
A correspondent OF the Boston
Transcript recently sent a communi-
cation asking If dogs know time, and
then related some stories showing
that they do One of these stories
Is about a collie which starts every
afternoon TO meet his master, who
always comes on the $50 train.
Trains are continually coming and
going, and wbistling and ringing,
but Pete pays no attention TO any
| but this one. As soon as It's whistle
Is heard he begins to bark joyfully,
and never ma6es mistake. Another
| dog became so much accustomed 10
| going TO the school house every morn
| Ing with his little master that, when
| the boy was absent for several weeks,
the dog still went on going 10 school,
arriving punctually at Q o'clock ev-
ery morning. Moreover, he never
went on Saturday or Sunday. With
regard TO the first case IL might be
replied, perhaps. by skepticai per
son that the dog was more likely TO
be able TO distinguish the special
whistle OF the locomotive which drew
| the $50 train than TO know il by tie
hour Of the day. And yet there Is
no doubt that dogs do know when a
| certain hour arrives at which some
thing regular and accustomed taxes
| blace. The second case seems to
prove this very thing There js a
case on record In which a doctor who
was accustomed ~ visit cert o
| village at a certain hour on ceTtaiu
day each week. always found a dog
| OF his Acquaintance waiting for him
outside the town, and IL vas proved
that the dog never came 20 the place
at any other day or hour. Evidently
| all that can be said IN explanation d
such cases is that animals are sus
ceptible of having periods or circsei
Of time established ia their iDtelli

An amusing illustration of the fact
that a mans muscles lose their sup
pleness and strength by disuse and
the weight Of years is furnished by a
correspondent Of the Providence

somewhat of an athlete in his young

of the feats Of agility and strength
which he used to perform, and prom
ised to put them UP a trapeze.

five cents Uncle Frank had give him,
