As 1t Should 30.

A Washington paper tells a pleasing
story of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland and
some gypsy children. President and
Mrs Cleveland were driving on the
Glenwood road on the outskirts of the
capital. where several families of syp-
sizes had pitched their tents. A group
OF ragged children belonging to the
band were playing marbles in the road
way. AS the presidents equipage drew
near, the driver, motioning to the chill
dren to dispense, raised his whip to
urge the horses forward. The children,
treasuring their playthings more than
their lives, shouted frantically, ooh.
mister, please don't run over our mar
bles." This appeal would have passed
unheeded by the driver, but the presi-
dent quickly rose and ordered the
coachman to stop. The the children
were told to gather up their marbles.
All the while they kept looking at the
occupants of the carriage with grateful
smiles on their dirty faces Mrs. Cleve:
land returned the smiles, much to the
delight and gratification OF the little
g1psies When the marbles had been
hurriedly collected, the president drove
on, followed by the earnest shout,
You're awful good. mister" coming
from the little fellows, who had no idea
they we're talking to the president OF

MAN AND THE APE.

4 Scientist illustrates Points of Re-
semblance and Dissimilarity.
In his brain structure" says lee
turer in the Philadelphia Item, "man
Is evidently closely allied with the ape
and the difference between man and
any OF the higher apes in this respect
IS not so great as that which exists be-
tween the apes and monkeys, taken as
whole, and the other mammalian Or
ders. And as Huxley says, the differ
ence In weight of brain between the
highest and lowest man is far greater,
both relatively and absolutely, than
between the lowest man and highest
ape" Speaking of heredity, the scien-
list said 1t was q well known fact that
the young Of all animals tend to revert
to the ancestral type. Thus" said
he' lin a group of closely allied spe-
cles of birds-where some OF the spe-
c1es are solidly colored and some have
notified plumage and spotted breasts
the young of the solidly colored species
are often conspicuously notified and
spotted. This is notably the case with
the thrushes, especially in the case of
our robin. So among mammals the
young OF many species exhibit mark
lngs quite different from their parents.
Lion cubs, for example, show spots
which ally them to the leopards and
their Kind. The human infant presents
many similar features, which, though
shocking to the fond parent, point,
nevertheless. toward a common anthro-
poid ancestry: Among the most res;
markable Of these seYanescent charac-
teristics are the plantar burrows or
creases on the sole OF the foot in new
born babies, which present a striking
similarity to the creases on the foot
OF the ape. It has been further shown
that not only the plantar ,furrow but
also the great mobility Of the toes in
young babies must have had their ORR.

performing tins heroic service he re-

by British officer. Atterward the flag

milton of his meritorious services in the
exploit recounted, and has been handed
down in his family until now, when it is
the property of. Mrs. Stafford. The
appearance of the flag does not indicate
its ancient character, but is more like a
battle flag of the latter days of the last
war. IT. bears, however. honorable
marks of the great Revolution of l776,
when the fist blood that was shed for
the cause Of independence was that of
an Afro-American Crispus Attucks,
and has in it several bullet holes, the re.
suit of balls from the "Gersp his" The
origin OF the flag is interesting in view
of the glorious achiements wrought
under 1t since Paul Jones raised it in
triumph over his British adversary.
The idea was taken from General
Washington's family ensign, and some
patriotic ladies in PHILADELPHIA made
the flag and presented it to Paul Jones,
who Immediately put it at the mast
head of small boat. and sailed up ana
down the Schuylxill river to show the
people of the country that their future
national emblem was to be. The flag
was exhibited at the Philadelphia Cen
tennial in 1876, also at the anniversary
OF the battle of Lexington, and It is
thought tuat it was also on exhibition
at the great Concord celebration. There
is no doubt of the authenticity of the
history and possession of the flag, as it
has always been kept in the Stafford
family, and preserved by each succeed
ing generation with the most scrupulous
care. The family lived formerly at
Trerton. N. j., the scene of 80 MANY of
the Revolutionary operations, and it
was there that Mrs. Stafford married
the son of Mrs. Jas. Bayard Stafford
whose glorious achievement was the
occasion of presenting the old trophy to
him. This was formal one through a
committee appointed for the purpose,
and took place at Trenton.
The original letter of presentation is
in the hands of Mrs. Stafford now, and
the following is copy Of it:
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept, l, 1884

you that On Thursday the 9th, thew
