allthe denominations that be done
in the midst thereof" This sign
was Gods approving mark. 1t
showed the sympathy of those who
received it with God in his abhor-
cree of evil. 1t teaches us that
there is deep approval on the part
of God of that spirit in Christians
which makes them lament the evils
in the world. Such spirit ofsor-
row over wrong will surely lead to
efforts to remove it. Sympathy
with the right is shown by grief
over the wrong.
This is the second step toward a
change or lettering of conditions.
After the power to perceive limita-
ton of whatsoever kind, comes the
power to perceive It's relations and
results and this will beget sorrow
and grief in us. Come not near
any man upon whom is the mark,
was the charge to the pitlless STAY
ers. And this proves to US that
God tenderlv regards those who so
svmpathize with him in his sorrow
over a world of sin. The charge
against men at this time was that
they said God seeth not. " AS
surely as Jesus saw and marked
every limitation, abuse, and evil
that men imposed on each other,
50 surely God has seen them, and
so surely he requires us to see
them, lament them, and change
them to the extent of our power.
But it is not enough to see and
to grieve over the limitations Of
our fellows. 1t is a Characteristic
of Christ like sympathy, without
which the power to see and the
power to grieye over the limita,
tons of men il fruitless, that it re-
solves to help, to enlarge, to ele-
vate, and to INSPIRE men to the
greatest possible degree. For
this, something beside the mental
power to perceive and the heart
power to grieve is needed. A still
greater ability is required of us.
an almost divine efficiency is de-
manded of US, If we would still
follow our Lord in his power to
amplify and beautify life for others.
For if we must receive from him
the enlargement of our sympathy
not only, but power of sclf-sacri-
fee that involves the will and the
! dedication Of our best abilities to
the service of every one we meet
who is in any way under llm:ta-
tiOns.

THE FLAG Or OUR UNION.
A Chart Which Tells the Changes
Made in thu Nautical
II Emblem.

Few Americans could tell of the
origin and the evolution OF the
flag they all venerate. Mr.. +. A.
Housman, of Danbury, Ct, has,
however, SAYS the New York
World, eptomized the resdlts Of
his long researches in the history
of Our flag il a chart which he has
called the United States school
flag map.
This is intended to teach to our
school children in the easist and
most effective manner the progress
of the Star Spangled Baoner"
from the original flag of thirteen
stars and thirteen stripes to cur
present one with forty -four stars.
The chart contains pictures Of
twenty-three varieties of the ma
tional emblem, and their accuracy
is attested by the authorities at
Washington.
Between these pictures are in.
teres.ing bits Of information in re-
gard to their history, among which.
is this explanation of the colors:
Red is supposed to represent
courage, white integrity of purpose,
and blue steadfastness, love and
faith. "
The first star-spangled banner,
/ Mr.. Housman shows, consisted of
thirteen stars and thirteen stripes
! the former arrar -ed in a circle.
That was adopted by congress in
III from model made.by:: Mrs
John Ross, Of Philadelphia, who
was appointed to the post Of flag
maker to the government.
But the admission of Vermont
and Kentucky to the union led gro
a change consisting Of the addi.
tional two stars and two stripes
and for convenisnce the stars were
arranged in parallel rows. This
was the flag CARR d during the
war Of 1912.
The rapid admission of states,
however, necessitated a change in
the proposed plan of adding a star
and stripe for each new possession.
and in 1918. when twenty states
composed the union, it was agreed
to reduce the number of stripes to
thirteen, in honor of the original
federation and to arrange the TWEEN,
ty stars in the shape of a great

European Railways.

The British public and press are
highly incensed OF Andrew Carnegie's
statement that it would pay England
TO burn up her railroad equipmentand
replace it with American models. Eu'
ropean railway managers are also com
mencing to wake up to the necessity
of contributing somewhat to the COM
fort of their passengers, but unfort-
unately commence where the Ameri-
cans left off dozen years ago, as is
instanced by the following extract
from an exchange:
Having long recognized the in
adequacy of foot-warmers as q means
OF heating railway carriages, says The
London Daily Telegraph, the direc-
tors of the Great Western railway de-
termined when building their first
corridor train in the spring of 1892 to
provide it with appliances for warm
ing the vehicles by the employment OF
steam from the locomotive. This train
has been running on the Pad
dington. Birmingham and Birk-
enhead service for more than
two years, and the improved sys-
tenn of warming having proved entire
ly successful, the additional corridor
trains which have subsequently been
provided and are now running be-
tween London and Torquay and Ply
mouth and Penzance, and between
London and South Wales, have been
similarly fitted with equally satisfac-
tory results"

Electric Pugilist.

An electric device has been brought
out for use in boxing, and is described
as o registering armor for boxers.
This device is a simple arrangement of
belts which are strapped over the face
and about the body. These straps
contain electric push-buttons located
at certain points, which are connected
by wires to register apparatus. In
this way the practice of boxing can be
reduced to very scientific basis, and
every hit scored when point is made.
The belts and buttons, of course, are
cushioned, SO that no blow can harm
the body, and thus the practice of
boxing has many unpleasant features
eliminated therefrom.

Telephone Newspaper.

The telephone newspaper organized
at Pesth, Hungary, has now been
working successfully for two years. 1t
is called the Telephone Hirnondo, or
Herald, costs cents, like printed
paper, and is valuable to persons who
are unable or too lazy to use their
eyes, or who cannot read.
1t has 5000 subscribers, who receive
the news as they would ordinary tele-
phone messages A special wire 1853
miles long runs along the windows of
the houses of subscribers, which are
connected with the main line by sepa-
rate wires and special apparatus which
prevents the blocking of the system by
an accident at any of the stations.
Within the houses, long, flexible wires
make it possible to carry the receiver
to the bed or any other part of the
room.
The news is not delivered as it hap
pens to come in, but is carefully edited
and arranged according to a printed
schedule, so that subscriber at any
time knows what part Of the paper he
is going to hear.
1t begins with the night kilograms
from all parts of Europe. Then comes
the calendar of events for the day, with
the city news and the list of strangers
at the hotels. After that follows arti-
cles on music. art and literature.
The staff is organized like that OF
any other newspaper, and is on duty
from 7:3O in the morning until 9:3O
O'Clock at night. After the copy has
passed through the EDITORS hands, for
the paper is subject to the same re.
strictions as ordinary newspapers, and
is liable for it's communications, it is
given to the "speakors." These are
ten men with strong voices and clear
enunciatiop, who work in shifts OF two
at time and talk the news through
the telephone.
There are twenty-eight editions ut
tered day. Additions to the first edl-
ton are announced as news items.
To fill the time when no news is COM
ing in the subscribers are entertain
ed with vocal and instrumental con-
certs. These were at first given for
them especially in the office OF The
Hirnondo, but now the wire is in COM
munication with the opera house and
the music halls, and on Sundays and
saints days with the churches.
The music is transmitted at times
to other places in Austro-Hungary,
and recently The Hirnondo michro-
phone was connected with the circuit
going from Trieste, through Vienna,
Bremen and Pesth to Berlin, the music
being heard in all these places with
equal clearness and force.
The happy Hungarian can lie abed
all day and hear everything that is
going on his town.-New York Sun.
