This was done and Washington boasted
of the greatest flag and the greatest
flag pole.
The flag did good service through
out the entire exposition, but towards
the closing days a sudden gale tore it
from its fastenings and, carrying it
over the Michigan, Wisconsin and
Indiana State buildings, dropped it in
the lake near the Japanese village. 1t
was rescued by Edmond S. Meany, who
patched it together and
brought it home to Seattle. He pro-
poses to present it to the University OF
Washington as an historical relic, but
for the purpose of adding to the decors-
lions of the Fourth OF July he has
loaned it to the Post -Intelligencer.

Our Bill DOolittle.

Bill Doolittle, our Congressman
from the westside got extensively into
print some weeks ago by reason OF a
hit which he made with the Emperor
OF Japan, OIL recent visit to the land
of the Mikado.
The story is going the rounds, OF
course. and with it there goes q great
deal of fun at the expense of our
lengthy Congressman.
Colonel Cockerill tells the whole
story in q letter to the Herald. 1t
seems that when the Emperor passed
through Yokohama Mr.. Doolittle de-
cided to take prominent part in the
festivities. He obtained large flag
staff, on which he fastened the Japan
ese flag at the top, and lower down
the American flag. He then pro-
ceeded to the railway station, and
when the train rolled in the Emperor
saw a man six feet high bobbing his
head and holding sloft a staff bearing
the flags of Japan and the United
States. The Emperor ordered an at
tendant to get the strangers card, and
when Doolittle received the request he
almost danced in his delirious delight.
Prominent United States naval Of
ficers say that il they had seen Doc.
Titles antics with our flag they would
have rebukei him, but a. the matter
stands the Western Congressman has
made q decided hit. 1t is even
rumored that the Emperor will
decorate him with the order of the
thistle, which is only given to Japan
ese who are able to wag both ears at
the same time.
The American residents OF Yoko-
hama seem to care very little about
the matter. They saw that Doolittle
had q perfect right to welcome the
Japanese ruler in his own way, and
that his enthusiasm was very natural.
The Atlanta Constitution ventures that
ain this country the Congressman
will be more severely criticised, and he
will not hear the last of his Japanese
adventure for years TO come"

THE MIND A BAROMETER.
How the Mind Is Affected by the
Weather.

NcatueTs
The psychology of the weather is
suggested by DIR. 7. ID. Crothers as a
promising subject for study. He says,
in Science: "Very few persons recog-
nize the sources of error that come
directly from atmospheric conditions
on experimenters and observers and
others. In my own case 1 have been
amazed at the faulty deductions and
misconceptions which were made in
damp. foggy weather, or on days in
which the air was charged with elec-
tricity and thunder storms were i'm
pending. What seemed clear to me
at these times appeared later to be
filled with error. An actuary in .
large insurance company is obliged to
stop work at such times, finding that
he makes so many mistakes which he
is only conscious of later that his work
is useless. In a large factory from ten
to twenty per cent. less work is
brought out on damp days and days
OF threatening storm. The superin-
tendent, in receiving orders to be de-
livered at a certain time, takes this
factor into calculation. There is q
theory among many persons in the
fire insurance business that in States
OF depressing atmosphere greater
carelessness exists and more fires
follow. Engineers of railway loco
motives have some curious theories
of trouble, accidents and increased
dangers in such periods, attributing
them to the machinery"
DIR. Crothers adds that the convic.
ton prevails among many active brain
workers in his circle that some very
powerful forces coming from what is
popularity called the weather control
the work and the success of each one.

How 70 Cure q Sick Headac he,

Just take teaspoonful Of red-pep-
per, mix it with vinegar to . thick
paste and spread upon cloth, cotton
or linen, bind upon the forehead with
a handkerchief from temple to temple,
then take about two grains Of red pep
per in a teaspoonful of vinegar and
swallow it. The mixture on the FORE
head will burn, but will not blister,
and in the course OF ten minutes the
headache will disappear under the
stimulating effects of this remedy,
leaving the patient feeling as if such
distressing things as sick headaches
were unknown to the human family.

GREATEST AMERICAN FLAG.

What looked like an old battle-worn
flag of giant size may be seen over the
entrance of the Post-Intelligencer Of
fee. 1t is the larges: American flag
ever made. When the Washington
Worlds Fair commission erected at
Chicago the tallest flagstaff on earth it
looked around for suitable flag to
give it adornment. 1t has been
heralded far and wide that there would
float from the administration building
the largest American flag ever made in
the world. The Washingtonians
learned of the dimensions of this mon
ster piece of red, white and blue bunt-
ing, and found it to be about forty feet
wide and just sixty feet long. They At
once ordered the flag to be duplicated
with two additional feet of length.

Coed Advice.

Some good person has said: "Do
not make your mind sponges, satur-
ated with the putrid waters Of the
goose-pond of gossip. Hear as little
as you can TO the prejudice of others !;
believe nothing of the kind, unless
you are forced TO believe it; never
circulate or approve of those who
circulate loose reports; moderate, as
far IS you can, the censure of others ;
always believe that if the other side
were heard. very different account
would be given OF the matter.

NEMESIS OF THE CHRISTOPHER
The Farmers Enemy Being Exter.
minated I'm The West.

st. Paul Pioneer-Press.
At last fate has overtaken the
grasshopper. After having annually
laughed to scorn the puny attempts
of the Western farmer to stay his de-
structive progress and gone hopping
and nipping and crunching his devas-
tating way across the continent from
west to east, he has come to grief at
last. Out in Colorado farmers who
were ruefully regarding their fields ut.
tackled by the invader were amazed to
see the grasshoppers stop in the
midst OF their destructive work to at
tend to personal matters. They
showed signs of uneasiness, then OF
tribulation, and finished by turning
up their toes, and waiting to be dis
posed of by cremation or burial.
Myriads OF dying and dead grasshop-
pers cover the ground. What pro-
duced the wholesale sickness and NOR.
talityis mystery. 1t may have been
an epidemic of insect cholera result
ing from injudicious gormandizing on
green stuff, or a new parasite may
have attacked the hopper and fed on
his vitals.
Some time ago a learned bugolo.
gist announced that the grasshopper
and other pests of the farmer had
their special insect enemies, and il
these were properly encouraged they
might in the end exterminate the
pests. The suggestion was not re-
ceived with much favor. The fact was
recalled that when the measuring
worm" was pest and q destroyer Of
foliage the advice was given to import
some English sparrows to exterminate
the caterpillar, and that now every.
body is wishing for something tha,
will exterminate the English sparrow
To cultivate one insect that preys
upon another may be to get rid of one
pest only to subject ourselves to a worse
one. If the Colorado beetle and
the western grasshopper would ex.
terminate each other that would be
an unmixed blessing.

Mr.. Edmund Clarence Stedman
coined the phrase -Four Hundred"
as applied to the aristocracy OF New
York City, in a satirical poem called
"The Princes Ball." relating to the
Prince of Wales visit to New York.
The poem is divided into three parts,
one OF which is called 1.-THE Council
OF the Four Hundred" and refers to
the committee consisting of just that
number, which had the arrangements
for the ball and supper in hand. Here
are Mr.. Stedman's lines:
For the honor and commerce of the city.
Twas plain to see there must be a committee
So men OF means and might were chosen,
Score by score and dozen by dozen,
In all, four hundred names"-

 NEW YORK, May Gl-Marats earthly career. as portrayed by kyrlo Bellew. came near being ended owing to the surplus muscular force, backed by tho Crlmatio Intensity, of Mrs James Brown Potter. tho Charlotte Corday in the play of that name. which opened a weeks run at the American theater last night.
 Mrs Potter and Mir Bellew, who have achieved the unusual distinction of three ongn ngomonts in this city in one season, appeared to unusual advantage last night owing to weeks rest, which renewed their histrionic powers and which added spirit and zeSt to their performance.
 Mir. Bellew said yesterday in an inter. view that he was tired of tho namby pamby society roles with which he had been afflicted in seasons gone by and was glad he was to play more virile part, such as Marat. At the timo of the inter- view ho did not take into consideration tho fact that Mrs. Potter nowers as an actress have increased greatly ut late. and that her muscular development though slight, was yet excessive when engaged in the pleasant task of stabbing the villain of the play
 She illustrated her pruwrss in this di- rcct:un last night by stabbing MT. Bellew in the most approved melOdramatio style. It was in tho scene where Nlarat takes Q bath-not in real water. of course. Nerved by the stage wrongs of the French stage, Charlotte Corday enters the apartments of Marat, unoscorted hy even a chaperon.
 She soos Marat in the hathtub is filled with ambition to bo tho heroine some day of q play bearing her name and plunges q "Crucl' knife "relentlessly" into tho "mnnly bosom of Marat. Mrs. Potter went through all this, including a num- per of emotions and stabbed MGrat with truo tragic fCrvor.
 Tho knife descended, and Marat gave an emphatic grurt. Then Mrs. Potter grew paic, for down Marat s fleshings trickled drops of blood real blood. not stAge blood. Then moro blood gushed forth from between MT, Below s ribs, and Mrs. Potter WAS getting real scared when luckily the curtain was rung down.
 Marat. although dramatically and his toricalIy dead, walked to his dressing room, where a doctor stopped tho flow of blood, after which Mir Bsllew dressed and went home. He had been stabbed Tn the sldo with considerable force but luckily tho dagGCr struck rib and so saved him from serious injury.
