WANTED TO BE A NAN.
The Young Woman who Went TO Chi
eago in Mems Clothing.


Miss Hettie Dickey, the young lady
from Delaware who recently visited Chi
cago IL mems clothing. has told the COM
plete story of her adventures. 1t ap-
pears that for years she has had an
overwhelming desire 20 be a man. The
impulse to see the world as a mar sees
1t grew Upon her to such an extent that
she finally decided TO leave home. She
secreted a suit of her brothers clothes
in the w~oodshed. and soon after noon
on March "a she slipped quietly into
the shed and put on masculine attire.
Then she walked calmly out of the yard
in front Of her home to the road lead
ing TO kiamensi station on the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad. IT was then
about 1870 o'clock in the afternoon.
She followed the tracks three miles
without meeting y o Then two
men came in sight. and. for fear of de-
lection. she turned aside into a field
and made her way to Newark. where
she took the 3 o'clock train for Balti-
more. BY his time her parents were
searching the country for her in the inn
mediate vicinity of their home. Reach
ing Baltimore. she stopped for an hour.
Then she bought a icket to Chicago.

Baltimore & Ohio railroad. All the
money she had on leaving home was
$50. She reached Chicago on the night
Of March &c with SEAS in the pocket OF
her trousers. Her original intention
was TO so to Denver or san Francisco.
In both of those places she has relatives.
After her arrival in the Windy City
she was at a loss to know wher to lay
her head. h was afraid to 90 to a
lodging-house, 50 she concluded TO walk
the streets rather thar run the risk Of
being detected. For two nights she
tramped the sidewalks of Chicago be-
Q T finding a place Of shelter. At last
she found a big lumber yard near the
lake, and there she spent FIVE nights
among the piles of lumber. What little
food she ate during this time she pur-
chased at cheap re- s. In all Of
these h seated herself a., bies along
side men. For three nights she occupied
a corner in a box car standing on a side
track of the Illinois Central railroad.
one of the employees discovered her and
demanded an explanation of her pres
ence. She maintained her fortitude and
succeeded in escaping arrest. She went
on in this way for two weeks until. over
come by exhaustion. she fell i'll, and
was removed to the Cook County Hos
pital. TIL incessant tramping and the
clumsiness of her brothers shoes caused
severe injuries to her feet. Upon re-
moval Of the shoes at the hospital flesh
came off with them. A diagnosis of her
case was made by the physicians in
charge. While making an examination
of her lungs he discovered her sex. She
told him her name was Hettie Dicker-
son. but subsequently admitted that it
was Hettie Dickey, and that her home
was in Stanton. Del. After listening to
her narrative the doctor notified her
parents. On April "a. one month from
the time of her disappearance, she wrote
to her mother, describing her sufferings
and asked forgiveness. She reached
home a week ago. and. with the excep-
ton of a slight feebleness, she was none
the worse for the eXperleuce.

THRIFTY
They Allow No Waste with the Food
Supplies of Their Home


Economy and cleanliness are svn-
onyms, especially in the household. we
have but 10 refer to the French people
TO prove the truth of this. Their thrift
economy and cleanliness for a sequence
demonstrated in their beautiful capital
extended 70 their very kitchens. where
the nicely of their food
their careful marketing and dainty re-
pasts all seem as aids to the great SAINT
tary problem. The Frenchman wastes
never a crumb. He markets for the
day. His larder never overfows. His
meals are composed of tidbits. some
times to the American palate IT seems
insufficient, but when all is considered
n cuisine can take the palm from
the French? This secret of the rencb
mans thrift and cleanliness lies entirely
In his method of supply. The smallest
DIT OF food is not too poor to turn to
some dainty appetizer. Small things are
not ahhored by him. Indeed. it is re-
voting to see large quantities of good
food cast before swine in the shane of
garbage. One never sees in France
whole loaves of bread, moldy and un.
slightly. cast into unfrequented fields or
lots or thrown into cutters by beggars.
a familiar sight in the streets about
American homes. especially in large
cities. Money is saved. labor minimized
and health is preserved by economical.
careful observance Of the food supply.
Contamination of one kind of food with
another grown stale is avoided, and the
troubles Of disorder. u%ncleanliness and
unhysienic conditions unpleasant to
taste and sight are escaped in a great
measure. Until there is a full ~recogni-
ton of the danger from contaminated
food, becoming so by contact with de-
cay1ng material, perhaps in the iee-box,
perhaps from the refuse heap or can,
perhaps from grease-clogged sinks. etc,
our domestic hygienics are not above re-
preach. In these days, when Spartan
constitutions are unknown and deaths
from mal-nutrition are found on all
sides in the improvident classes. a les
son or two upon the question of waste
and want should work a Wholesome
cure. Let the supply equal only the de.
mand. and there will be little or no
waste.

LANGUAGE OF THE FLAGS.
What They Are Supposed to Represent
in Death or Life.

To strike the flag Is to lower the ma
tional colors in token Of submission.
says the School Journal. Flags are used
as the symbol of rank and command,
the officers using them being called flag
officers. Such flags are square, TO dis
tinguish them from other banners. A
flag of truce is a White flag displayed
to ar enemy to indicate a desire for a
parley or consultation. The white flag
is the sign of peace. After a battle par
ties { ON both sides often go out to the
field to rescue the wounded or bury
the dead, under the protection Of
a white flag. The red flag is a
sign Of defiance, and is often used by
revolutionists In our service it is a
mark Of danger. and shows a vessel to
be receiving or -discharging her powder.
The black flag is the sign Of piracy. The
yellow nag shows a vessel to be at quar-
antine, and is the sign of contagious dis
ease. A flag at half-mast means mourn
ing. Fishing and other vessels return
with a flag at half-mast TO announce the
loss or death Of some Of the men. Dip
ping a flag is lowering ii slightly and
then hosting it again. to salut a vessel
or fort. If the President of the United
States goes af1oat. the American flag is
carried In the bows of his barge or hoist
ed at the main Of the vessel on board Of
which he is.
