Flags are used as the symbol of
rank and command, the officers u.s.
ing them being called flag officers.
Such flags are square, to distinguish
them from other banners.
A "tlag of truce" is u white flag
displayed to an enemy to indicate "a
desire for a parley or consultation.
The white flag is the sign of peace.
After a battle parties from both sides
often go out to the field to rescue
the wounded or bury the dead under
the protection of Il white flag.
The red flag is a sign of defiance,
and is often used by revolutionists.
In our service it is a mark of dan
ger, and shows a vessel to be receiv-
ing or discharging her powder.
The black flag is the sign of
piracy.
The yellow flag shows vessel to
be ut quarantine, and is the sign of
contagious disease.
A flag at half-mast means mourn
ing. Fishing and other vessels re-
turn with flag at half-mast to an
nouncc the loss or death Of some
men.
Dipping q flag is lowering if
slightly and then hosting it again,
to salute a vessel or fort.
If the President of the United
States goes ailoat, the American flag
is carried in the bow of his barge or
hoistcd at the malnmast of the ves-
sci on board Of which he is.-Ou,'

TOMS HEROIC RESCUE.
lie Saved tho Fire EXtinGuishcrs and
let the House Burn.

y man bearing the classic name Of
Tom Jones has been for Il long time the
most enthusiastic unofficial assistant
which the volunteer fire department Of
il little Massachusetts town had. He
began his career in the fro opposing
line by rcscuing an aged cit zen from Il
burning building, and ever after his
specially was saving something, either
property or life. The fact that the
aged citizen was the mcancst man in
town rather worked against Toms re-
cciving the credit for his first rescue
which was his d" h3t :....s was graz:
ual' ovcr'JuKcd by the better element,
ana lom's reputation grew.
A lew years ago Il fire broke out in
| 5ilc dwelling 0f General S., which
was the finest residence in the place.
1t may be explained that though Tom
mad very fair experimental knowl-
edge Of Il popular brand Of State liquor,
his information concerning wines WAS
OF the most rudimcntary character. 1t
may be added further, that the General
WAS believed locally always 10 have IL
fabulous stock OF the choicest vintagcs
on hand, condition Of affairs, by-the-
way, which caused many II wagging Of
heads at village tea parties and similar
functions.
On the occasion OF the !irc in the
GHmurai's > hOu5n the iircmcu bromDtiy
appeared, and Tom WAS one Of the first
10 rush into the building. The family
being all out, he turned his attention
to the saving OF property. With the
havor Of Il strong concocti0n just ub-
sorbcd at the village tavern still ON his
palate, he naturally thought Of the
priceless wines, and was sO0n seen
~ ri NJ ,,i
something carefully wrapped in Il small
rug. He bore it to q noighbJring va.
cant lot, put it down beside Il tree, and
proceeded to stand guard over it,
When asked by friends why he did not
return to the burning building and con-
tinuc his lahors, he replied, in Il mys-
tcrious whisper:
"'Ssh Got Il crate Of tho Generals :
best wine here. Dasn't leave it for fear
it gets broke or hooked. You bet the
General will thank me for saving it,
and mehhy he'll give me Il bottle."
SO Tom stood over the bundle and
guarded it as mother might guard
her baby till the fire was cxtguished
lie then took it up tcndcrly and APP
preached the General, who was on the
outskirts Of the crowd, and was natur-
ally somewhat excited. Two or three
bosom friends OF the rcscucr, not un-
willing to share the possible bottle,
trailcd behind.
"t.Ncusc me, Gcncrai," said Tom,
"but knowcd the store you sot by your
fine wines, SO snatchcd up few bot
ties and brought 'cm out. Had so
watch 'cm close since, too, or some
scalawag would a.hookcd 'cm. Mighty
smokey IN there bout then, tell You,
General, and Tom folded back the rug
and displayed halfdozcn < slobular
bottles in wire rack.
"Winc .'roarcd the General, looking
at the bottles. "Why, you informal
idiot, you ought to have thrown 'em at
the fire Those things are patent fire

one -of them for all Mr.. Thompson's
wealth. Mrs. Jones' husband was an
lnveterate user Of tobacco and she
Mrs. Hopkins) abhorred the weed.
Ihen there was Mrs. Smith, whose
mouse was running over with children,
ana the poor woman, with her one
servant, always looked tired and dis
couraged. The minister's wife seem
ed TO have an easy time OF it, but how
unpleasant it must be not to have q
pendent upon onea hus bana's popularity
home OF ones own, and to be ALWAYS de-
Tor a maintenance. 1t was rumorcd tn at
MIR. and Mrs. Brown, whose house was
furnished SO elegantly and who always
appeared so charming when In public,
quarrelled necessarily at h me. She
| recalled the case Of another neighbor
who had been thrifty and industrious
as long as he lived on the farm, but
who finally yielded to his wife's en-
treaties and moved to tho city. Then
nc took to drink and bad ways End
died with dclirium tremens. Surely
there were far worse things in life
than living on u farm and doing house
work.
Indeed, since Mrs. Hopkins had be-
gun to count her blessings in this me-
gatlvc fashion, she was surprised to
lind how little she had to grievc over,
and how much to be thankful for. Her
recent discomfort rose up before her
like an accusing angel. She felt as
hamed and repentant that she had
even in her thought, murmurcd at her
condition. She had II good, noble hus-
? band she would love and appreciate
I him Us he deserved.
! When the sun won't down that night
: Mrs. Hopkins was stronger, happier
9 woman. jerry returned in time to do
$ the chores, for which fact, after her
5 experience in the morning. she was
I thoroughly thankful. Matte Smith,
I a ncighb0r's child, came over to stay
u with her until her husbands return.
. And in week he was at home again.
, Ills father was dead. But he found
i his wife Il sympathetic comforter and Il
l. "sharcr Of burdrns.' She brcathctl
, never IL word Of discomfort concerning
= their lot, and her husband daily found
. something new to love and admire in
: her. The time came early in their
T. lives when they were able to change
u their mode OF life for one more con
genial ID the tastes Of both. But be-

WOMAN'S INTERESTS,
FARMING as an Occupation--Excel-
lent IGXannlo To tho Sex

as an OCCupatiOn--EXCel
lent Example to tho Sex.
Women have certainly become fac.
tor In the money-making world, and
there are no arguments wcighty enough
10 convince the advanced woman of
the day that she is not ii ted for any
walk In life which is sought by edu-
cated men as means Of earning u
living. Farming as an occupation for
women may not sound attractive to
ladies Of culture and refinement, but
IT has been demonstrated by three
young women in Illinois that it is both
lucrative and enjoyable business for
tho ,gcntler sox, and also that th y
need not lose their taste for the iner
things Of life in this humble employ
mcnt. They believe that woman can
properly manage any business if she is
trained for it and VIII closely observe
| all the details and attend to it herself
Experience has taught them that
agents were not success, as they very
soon began to trade on tho supposed
| lncapablllty OF women as business man
ayers and tried to deceive them by
charging for work which was never
done. Their farms, which aggregate
LOO acres, were inherited from their
father, John ID. elliott, u we'll known
mau OF Logan County, nino years ago.
| Ihcs, young women, practical ag-
riculturists, having picked up much
OF their knowledge going over the
farms with their father, and GisguStcd
with their agents, took charge Of their
own farms. For tue first few years
after they assumed the management
they devoted their entire time to the
farms, and now the land yields twice
;ts much rs it did at the time of their
father 5 death. Corn is their principal
product, and the average yield is sixty
bushels an acre. They have drained u
lake Of 400 acres by digging a ditch Il
mile and a. half long. The farms are
divided into small sections, which are
titled by tenants with whom they di-
vide the c,ops. Tn,sc women T. de
| thirty and forty miles Il day on their
tours OF inspection, which arc not at
stated times, SO the tenants have no
way OF knowing when they are coming
Miss MIRA Gillctt says there is no work
She pr, fors to farming, and thinks a
woman who has Il Knowledge Of the
SUBJ tct and some experience is Just
as good farmer as Il man. Nj MSS
Amy Is quite as much in love with
the business, and, while they believe
IN all the science which can be aD.

indulge in experiments, but trust to
tho " Agricultural Experiment Sta

may or may not be done with land
