THE JEWISH FLAG.
It's Adoption May Mean the Peaceful
Conquest of Palestine.

Conquest of Palestine.
King David's banner-so called for want of
q better name-has been formally adopted as
a standard by little band Of Jews in Chicago,
and the sight Of the flag has raised in many
hearts q hope that the old dream of a reoc-
cupation Of Palestine by the tribes of Israel
may become reality. 1t Is a simple affair,
this fagj merely piece Of white silk by
3 feet in size, with double triangle Of blue
worked in the center. There is no Jew In
this city who knows the true significance OF
the symbol. Even such learned men as Rev.
DR.. Emil G. Hfrsch and Dr. Barnard Felsen-
thai, the latter past master in the science
of archaeology, are unable to satisfy them
selves to its meaning or origin. There is
nothing in Biblical or Talmudic or national
literature by which its history can be traced.
Despite this the double triangle of blue is
recognized and revered by Jews the world
over. The symbol is seen in many places
and used in many ways, but so far as known
the flag now owned in Chicago Is the only one
Of its kind in existence.
The banner was first unfurled last week
at session Of Uniformed Rank Lodge No.
43, of the Independent Western Star Order,
held at the Leasing club house on West Tay-
lor street. On that occasion 1t was referred
to as the Jewish national flag but exception
is taken to this by intelligent Jews for the
good reason that history fails to show that
their people, even in the leadership Of King
David, ever had national banner. Tradition
leads the antiquarians to believe that some of
the tribes, and notably that of Judah, may
have had standards of their own, and there
is warrant for this in the references to ''the
lion Of the tribe of Judah" which are accepted
as indicative of the tribal emblem. In the
days Of the ancient Jews, however, mysti-
cism fourished and there we're a number Of
orders. strong in membership and influence,
each Of which had its own particular symbol.
Among these was the Order of Kappalaar,
or Kappalists, sort OF ancient Freemasonery.
This was one of the most widely diffused
and powerful of the mystic organizations,
angle is modernized adaptation Of their an
Gent sign or emblem.

NO SABBATH IDLENESs.
Divines at Eagle Lake Occupy Nu-
merOus Pulpits.

EAGLE LAKE, Ind, May %
Though the general assembly has not
been in session today it has not been
time of idleness. Many ministers have
preached In neighboring cities, but
most of the commissioners and visitors
have remained here. Consequently the
meetings held in the large auditorium
have been very fully attended. Three
sets of meetings, each double. have oc-
cupied the day. In the morning DR..
James A. Worden, superintendent of
the board of Sunday school work,
taught the Sabbath school lesson. 1t
was upon the first council at Jerusalem,
and was made to teach the authority CT
the general assembly. The second
service consisted Of missionary adj
dress upon Alaska by the moderator,
DR.. Sheldon Jackson. The first hour Of
the afternoon was devoted to the In
terests Of the American Sabbath Union.
Addresses were made by DR.. I. w.
Hathaway general secretary Of the
union; Hon. Samuel B. Hur, Phila-
delphia; Hon. William Lanning. Tren-
Brooklyn, president of the Women's
National Sabbath alliances, land Elder
James Yereance, New York, manager
Of the union.
The following hour was devoted to
the women's executive committee Of
home missions. Rev. John Hewitt, OF
Emporia, was presented, and an adj
dress was delivered by Rev. John
Eaton on Utah. Among other things,
he said that the idea that polygamy
was dying out there was mistake.
Several other commissioners spoke, the
final address being delivered by DR..
Sheldon jackson, who again spoke Of
Alaska and Of hardships caused by the
failure Of the churches to provide for
the continuance Of the work in the
school at Sitka.

Rev. Henry c. Vanderbeelz, Newark N.
j., and Rev. William ]. Boomer, Chill.

Landlord.
Harper's Round Tablet
Raphael, the great Italian painter,
whose celebrated Biblical pictures are
worth fabulous sums of money, was
not q rich man when young, and en-
countered some Of the vicissitudes of
life, like many another genius. Once
when travelling he put up at an inn
and remained there unable to get
away through lack of funds to settle
his bill. The landlord grew suspicious
that such was the case. and his re-
quests for a settlement grew more and
more pressing. Finally young Raphael,
In desperation, resorted to the follow
ing device:
He carefully painted upon a. table,
top In his room q number of gold
coins, and placing the table in Ger,
tain light that gave a startling effect,
he packed his few belongings, and
summoned his host.
There" he exclaimed, with a lord
ly wave Of his hand toward the table,
us enough to settle my bill and more.
Now kindly show the way to the door,"
The innkeeper, with many smiles and
bows, ushered his guest out, and then
fastened back to gather up his gold
His rage and CONSERVATION when ne
discovered the fraud knew no bounds,
until a wealthy English traveller,
recognizing the value Of the art put
in the work, gladly paid him EGO for the
table.

see bank messenger going along the

nothing would be easier for him than
to grab the satchel and run. I con-

Why She Liked Hypnotism.

A young woman from Washington
has discovered practical use for hyp-
notism and declares that at last she sees
its value. She was visiting a young
artist, who, with her chaperon, observes
all the proprieties, in a studio up town
in New York city. The Washington
young woman was called on by her
physician, who happens to be skilled in
the ways and wiles of hypnotism The
chaperon was eager, as many women
seem to be, to be hypnotized when the
conversation turned on that subject and
the DOCTORS skill with the art.
The doctor was a trifie chary about
showing his powers, but the two
younger women begged him to crafty
the elder woman's curiosity. The chap
eron smiled to herself and bubbled
with delight when the doctor finally
consented to experiment on her. In Is
minutes it was the turn of the two girls
to bubble with satisfaction. Under the
doctors persuasive power the chaperon
was lost to the world and all but the

The Sultan's Household.

In the time of the sultan's predecessor
the seraglio buildings stretched along
the banks of the Bosporous for % miles,
and contained some 1900 persons, the
household order and arrangement being
much as they are at present. The sui
tan's mother-when he has mother
receives a servile obedience from all it's
inmates. Then comes the hasnadar
ousta, or mistress of the treasury, gen.
orally shrewd old woman, promoted
from the ranks Of the servants for her
talent for housekeeping and gossip. If
the sultani valide dies, the hasnadar sue
ceeds her. Under Abdul Medjid the
seraglio was long ruled by a washerwo-
man, whose chief adviser was a bal
tadic, or newer of wood, who could not
read, but had the power of dismissing
viziers. The sultan's four kadines come
next, who rank as spouses till he di-
vorces them and marries them to some
of the pashas. Then there are five or six
ikbals, or favorites; then the guieuzedes
(from guieuz, eye-girls who have at
tracted the masters glance).
Every woman who marries from the
seraglio takes with her, besides a large
portion in cash, her clothing, jewels,
furniture, carriages and servants. After
them come the kadines- effendis, the
mothers of the sultan's children; then
the unmarried princesses of the royal
blood, then the foster mothers and foster
sisters of the sultana or princes or prin-
cesses. Among the attendants are cham
berlains, secretaries, guards, eunuchs,
scullions, cooks, pages, musicians,
dancing girls, dwarfs, buffoons, priests,
astrologers, BARRIERS and shampooers,
tasters of the sultan's food, athletes,
cockfghters, ramfghters, jugglers and
grooms to look after the 500 horses con-
tanned in the imperial stables. New

1t may be that Governor Drake will be
renonominated, perhaps by reclamation.
But the sentiment of the republicans
throughout the state does not justify
the air of proprietorship assumed by the
self appointed spokesman for him in Des
Moines and parts of southern Iowa. SO
far, only one republican newspaper of
standing in the entire tenth and eleventh
districts has come out for the governor.
There may be others of the same pre-
ference, but they have not yet ventured
an expression. We could name dozen
that have in effect questioned the wis
dom of renominating Gen. Drake. We
merely suggest that conditions do not
justify the assumption of proprietorship
so manifest among his inconsiderate
friends. We further venture the opinion
that Governor Drake is not the strongest
man that can be nominated at Cedar
Rapids.-Carroll Herald.

Genghis Khan's Dominions.

Mrs. Mary Shears Roberts, in her Sc
ries of Historic Dwarfs" in st. Mich
olas. writes Of Casan, who was in the
service of Genghis Khan. Mrs. Roberts
says:
After the great Monaghan had con-
quered China, Persia and all central
Asia his empire became one of the most
formidable ever established. 1t extend
ed from the Pacific ocean ON the east to
the river Dnieper in European Russia
and was wider realm than Egyptian,
Greek or Roman conqueror ever knew.
The kings of Armenia and Georgia, the
emirs of Persia, the grand dukes of Rus
STA and numerous other potentates wero
compelled to pay tribute to Gengh
Khan, and they were all obliged to
make the long journey to Karakorum in
person or by their representatives.
This town, the capital of the largest
empire that ever existed, was little
more than city of tents. 1t afterward
became the residence of the famous
Kublai Khan, as Marco Polo tells Us
but every vestige of it has disappeared.
Genghis Khan at last retired from
active service to lead quiet life in the
enjoyment of the wealth he had ac-
quired at the expense of SO much toll
and blood. The numerous khans and
generals were commanded to return,
and they came back incumbered with
the spoils Of war. They all assembled
on vast plain some 20 miles in extent,
and, according to one historian, even
this great field could scarcely contain
all the tents of the countless hosts. The
emperor's quarters alone were six miles
around. An enormous white tent capa-
BILE of containing 1900 people was
spread over his throne, on which was
carefully placed the bit of black carpet
used at his coronation.
