A Royal Yacht.

Medieval .magnifcence combined
with modern comfort characterizes the
beautiful steam launch which has just
been constructed for the use of the
king and queen of Italy at Venice.
Painted a snowy white, it has large
pavilion of carved mahogany. In front
are the royal arms, supported by cupids
astride of anchors, and behind is the lion
of Venice thanked by dolphins On the
sides, two eagles of Savoy spread their
wings. The windows are framed bv
slender columns, which seem to sup
port the roof, thus giving lightness to
the appearance of the launch, which is
a marvel of Woodworking, painting.

THE MAN WHO BRooDED.

| His Boy Bill Had Been Caught and He
Couldn't Stand 1t.
About five o'clock in the afternoon,
as 1 was following the rough and
rocky road up the mountains, 1 en-
countered deputy marshal and his
| posse. They had been raiding two or
three miles above and had captured q
still and prisoner. The prisoner was
young man about twenty-five years
old, and a native mountaineer. There
were eight men in the posse, all armed
and double armed. and yet they had
the prisoner handcuffed, and seemed to
look upon him as a savage. He had
been caught at the still, while his
father had escaped. That meant six
months or year in some filthy county
jail, with trial and a long sentence
to prison.
Two miles above where I met the
party I came to the rude cabin of a
mOuntaineer. On a rock in front of
the door sat gray-haired woman
about fifty years old. On another rock
opposite sat her husband-a grav-haired
man at least ten years older. Though
so far advanced in age he was still
strong and vigorous, but he sat with
his head in his hands like one suffering
mental anguish. I saw the pair while
yet forty rods away. The woman sat
facing me; the man had his eyes on the
earth at his feet. As I came to a halt.
and looked from one to the other. the
woman whispered:
"Cribbins to yo, stranger"

is
understood. The still was a small
one. He had somehow raised money
enough to buy it, and was distilling a
few gallons month and selling it in the
neighborhood to make a living. All the
arguments ever advanced could not con-
vince that old m IN that he was doing
any wrong. He Rad no market for his
corn as a cereal. IN the form of whisky

law, but had the government any right
to make a law which prevented a man

wanted to go on, but the woman
raised her hand i'll protest. The senti-
ment of hospitality was stronger than
the feeling of'despair which had set
tied upon them. She made room for
me beside her, and as I sat down she
whispered;
Did yo' see our Bill?"

They had irons on him?"
Yes
Him was cast down?'
Yes, but you must hope that he
will soon be set free to return to YOU.

tory information as to the standard used
by the colonists at Bunker Hill, fought
on June II, 1875. Indeed it has never
been proved that they had any stand
ards, though one writer says "they were
as various as the troops were motley.
There is a picture of the battle in the
rotunda Of the capitol at Washington,
painted by Trumbull, the celebrated
American artist Of that day, in which
the Americans are pictured fighting IN
der a red flag having a white canton
bearing a green pine tree. Warren is
said to have reminded his troops Of the
motto on their standard, on one side of
which was, "Qui transtulit sustinet"
Gle who brought US here will sustain
us), and on the other, can appeal to
heaven. This appears to have been the
Connecticut motto. An old lady told
Mr.. LOSING, the historian, that her IA

hosting the flag. He described it to her

On July IS, 1915, a standard was pre-

1875, plan was suggested for Revo-

was the flag Of American floating bat
teries. This was undoubtedly adopted by
Massachusetts,, and it was used on Amer
lean ships.
In September, 1775, Colonel Moultrie,
in South Carolina, had a flag made
which was blue, with white crescent
in the corner. On June %, 1776, this
flag, with the word Liberty" inscribed
upon it, was raised on what is now Fort
Moultrie. This was the first American
flag displayed in the south.
The colors of the American fleet (July,
1776) were 13 stripes, with rattlesnake
across, bearing the motto, ''Don't Tread
on Me. -
In Paul Jones flag the stripes were
alternate red and blue The ratt1esnake

WITH OUR CHILDREN.

TEETHING children may be relieved
of commissions by being immersed in a
warm bath with cold cloths on their
heads.
The education of delicate, nervous
children may be neglected until the age
of six or seven without dan ger of Ounce
hood.
BEAR in mind that you are largely re-
sponsible for your childs inherited
character, and have patience with faults
and faiIngs.
THE practice of frightening little
children in order to make them quiet,
has, in some cases, resulted in convul
Sicns and death.
IF the children want pets, pray in
dnlge them, but insist upon their taking
sole charge OF them as well as giving
them the best of care.
Those who teach young children
should speak to them properly, not lisp
ing or using silly words, for they can
understand sense better than nonsense.

out FLAG.


A national ensign was not adopted
till June, 1777. A glance at the pro-
miscuous banners under which the diff
ferent American forces campaigned dur
ing the first two years of the Revolution
will be found of interest at this anniver-
sary of the birth of the nation.
The first regular battle of the war
was Bunker Hill 1t is not likely that
there were any colors carried by the few
miitiamen who were hastily got togeth-
er at Concord and Lexington two months
before. But after the skirmishes at
these places each Of the colonies set up
its own flag. Unfortunately descriptions
OF these flags were not preserved, and
the information we have is very vague.
The most definite information as to
American flags we get is in foreign jour
nails at ports where American ships at
that time touched. There is no satisfac-

Niger Expedition.
London. March 29-The ministerial
statement I'm the House OF Commons
that the British government regards
the despatch of q French expedition

Especial significance attaches TO the
words of Sir Edward Grey, the pariia-

ON the influence of Russia being cast
AGAINST France should she adopt an
AGGRESSIVE line. but others believe that
the effect of the new balance of power
I'm Europe would be that Russia and
Germany would stand by while Great
Britain and France fought an eXhaus-
tive war.
The arcir is causing profound SEN
sation here and ON the continent, and
is looked upon as revealing the eX-
tremelv critical relations now exist
ing between France and Great Britain.
The fact that the statement was pre-
pared in writiug beforehand. enDha-
sizes the seriousness of the situation
and shows that every word eulClios
