The American Flag Must Fly High

every one was glad to see that old
glory prevailed to such a large extent.
for. after all. there is no decoration so
pleasing to the average American as
that which is produced by the aid of
the flag. Nothing seems to be so an
propriate. and, as was noticed no doubt
by every one, nothing besides the flag
was used on the state war and navy
department building. Though uninten-
tIonal, no doubt, l noticed that there
was an error in the use of the flag on
many buildings. in that in the arrange
ment of the flags and decorations old
glory, was not flown at the highest
point. 1t is the law of the navy, where
l was brought I'D. and it is as sacred
as any law, though possibly it may be
unwritten. that under no circumstances
nothing shall be flown higher than the
American fiag-all other flags, bunting
and decorations must be Subordinated
to the American flag, which must be
flown at the peak. Thus, / noticed that
on one of our hotels a foreign flag, al
though it was a Cuban flag. was flown
on a pole five or ten feet higher than
the pole on which the American flag
flew. At another, some other foreign
flag was given prominence in the mat
ter of height. A similar thing occurred
on one of the leading business houses.
OF course, the error was unintentional,
but error it was, all the same. Such
thing would not be allowed by the au-
thoritieS in any part of Europe on in
the realms of Great Britain anywhere.
They are more particular over there
about their flag than we are. and they
would pull down any flag which was
flown higher than their own. We are
not so touchy as that, but we ought to
be- We honor all nations on our ships
by flying their flags at certain times
in certain ports, but no one ever saw
any foreign flag higher upon the mast
on any American ship than our own
flag. The post of honor, as far as flags

! i've pictures whose histories are said
! 10 begin at the time He was on earth
or Immediately after. Doubt has been
cast upon the authenticity of these
portraits, but of their antiquity there
IS no doubt. and while they NAV not
nave come into existence under pre-
clsely the same conditions that history
tells us of, they certainly welded a
VIDE influence in forming the generally
accepted type of Christ's face. This is
obvious, as a glance at the accompany
ing reproductions of the ancient pic
lures shows.
The most valued of these ancient
portraits is credited to St. Peter. who.
as a close friend and apostle of Christ
had certainly the best opportunity for
recording likeness of Our Lord. This
portrait is the most priceless treasure
IN the Basilica OF St. Prassidi. Rome.
Ii is merely a rough outline of the head
OF Christ, dim and faded, and drawn
on a small piece of linen cloth. It is
never exhibited to the public and only
a few fac-simileS have been made. and
these are now in possession of the great
museums of the world
The history attached to this picture
is interesting of itself The portrait
according to the legend, was drawn by
the Apostle Peter at the request of one
of the daughters of Pudens. who was
a great Roman senator and a jealous
Christian. The house of Pudens was
the resort of many notable Christians,
as was evidenced by the writing of

1t has been estimated that there are
more than 5000 famous pictures OF
Christ, the work Of eminent artists of
all the Christian centuries, and hun
dreds of thousands of different por-
traits, if the work of artists of all de-
grees is considered. In each of these
the picture presented is the ideal of
the artist, yet all the portraits of Christ
show a general similarity in feature
and expression. This is as true Of the
paintings of the Renaissance as of
those of today.
Christ departed from the eyes of men
without leaving any authentic portrait
OF Himself behind as a memento for
future generations. Even if such a
portrait existed it would doubtless have
been destroyed, as all of the earthly
followers Of our Lord were subjected
TO persecution and torture of a most
fearful kind. The mere possession of
such a likeness would have been suf-
ficient reason to infict the most ter
rlble punishment upon the owner, as
any one identified in the smallest way
with His teaching for a considerable
time sfter His death was made the
victim of awful suffering.
Yet in view of this generally accept
ed theory the fact remains that all
pictures of Christ have certain features
of resemblance, and this can only be
explained by the existence of four or

{. Repeating. "

Harper's Bazaar: Few persons appre-
preciate the vast harm that may be done
by repeating to one person a derogatory
remark made about her by another. To
rehearse kind or complimentary COM
ment can seldom have an unfortunate
effect-indeed it may do good. But IL d
speech contains even the suggestion of
fault-fnding or disapproval it should
never be told. 1t is a little matter that
kindles many fires of angry feeling. 1t
inks one unspeakably to know that his
actions have been adversely commented
upon by a third person, and behind his
back when he cannot defend himself.
None of us has the gift to see ourselves
as others see us. and we like TO deceive
ourselves into the notion that all our
friends approve of what We do. More
over a comparatively innocent remark
assumes gigantic proportions to our dis
ordered imaginations when we receive it
secondhand. One good man resolved
long ago never to repeat to an acouaint-
ance anything that had been said of
him unless il would have the tendency
to make him feel better satisfied with
himself and with the person who spoke.

thee. The Roman Senator had two
daughterS-St. Pra and st. Puden-

show him how the Lord looked, and

Tbs IS the picture now in the pos
session of the church in Rome While
some have endeavored to disprove the
origin of the portrait, there is no doubt
as to its antiquity Absolute records
show that it was considered of great
age in the year 800 A. D., when the
Empress Helena took measures for its
preservation.
Another picture of proven antiquity
but with an origin not so trustworthy
as the one attributed to st. Peter, is
that known as the st. Veronica Image.
This is the picture now in the pos
the face is the saddest of all of the
pictures of Christ. According to its
history, Veronica, one of the women
who cared for the body OF Christ after
the crucifiXion and who assisted at the
burial, placed her tear-stained hand
kerchief over His face, and on remov-
ing it afterward found that the i'm
press of the features had been miracu-
louSly printed on the linen surface.
A better preserved picture is that
attributed to st. Luke, but a more re
markable one is that known as the
King Aggbanus portrait, now in pos
session of the Church of San Bartolo-
meo According to the legend attached |
to this portrait, Christ sat for King |
Aggbanus, king of Odessa, in Asia /
Minor. This picture has a we'll authen-
ticated history, showing that it was /
regarded as of the time of Our Lord !
as far back as the third century. More
over, it was never moved from Odessa
until the eleventh century, when that
place was captured by the Genoese.
Since that time it has been in the pos
session of the Church of San Bartolo-
meo.
a fifth picture, in the church of San
Silvestra, Rome, is attributed to an I'M
known artist, a contemporary of Christ.

Flowers in the Sick Room.

Fair in their sunny beds they grew,
Or hung on the trelliSed bowers,
| Nor lost their scent, nor paled their hue
AS a noSegay of gathered flowers:
But fairer still, and yet more sweet.
With the summers breath and bloom
They seemed in that narrow crowded
And that feeble sufferers room.
Alone, but not comDanionlesS.
Had her silent hours gone by:
From the dreary sick-room's narrow
space
There were paths that reached the sky.
The page that tells of life through death,
Had frightened her anxious thought;
And the summer flowers to the eye of
faith.
The good land nearer brought
Thus breaks the bloom of a better hope
On the dimnesS of the strife
The dusty aims and the narrow scope
OF this poor and passing life;
And thus, through Natures works, and
ways,
Such helps to faith are given,
That the flowers of earth may life our
gaze
To the fadeless flowers of heaven.

NEW WALL PAPERS.
The Frock and Pulp Are Among the
Very Charming Novelties Shown
La the Shops This Season.

Amidst the bewildering variety il
both quality and design of the new
spring wall papers, three or four salien
points are to be specially noted:
Patterns, as a rule, are rather broaS
and bold than otherwise, and FIRE
uuently involved and intricate whel
not grotesque.
Stripes. either plain or in combina.
ton, are the leading feature of the sea
sons mode. Rich gorgeous reds anC
empire green are the colOrs most decid-
eddy to the fore. The frieze, except
perhaps in very large rooms with high
ceilings. is no longer considered an ar
tiStic finish for a room, and yields its
place TO a simple band of picture mold
Ing.
Buying wall paper is as delicate a
matter as the purchase of. a hat, and il
should be selected with as careful re-
ference to the room it is to adorn as
the bonnet TO its owners head and
face. If, for instance. your dining
room or library is wainscotted, the
best decorators viii suggest for them
this season one of the new tWo-toned
effects in rich red stripes, or par
ticuiarly if your wainscotting be of
EEht oak-the same thing in dark
green. The stripes are about an inch
and a half in width, and the difference
in the two shades very slight. The rich
ness, warmth and harmony of either
OF these combinations is difficult to
excel.

Christian Register: As we look at young
men and women just entering consciously
the world of self-directed activity it seems
easy to advise them. The desire to do
so Is often irresistible, and justly so. We
must say to them from our own expert
ence the words that ought to help them
avoid the mistakes that we have made
and to hold fast the blessings that we
have let slip Yet they must live their
own lives, and of all we can ever say
they can use only that which really be-
