"OId Glory"

At IA time when there are malign native

repress every sentiment OF true Amer-

all the more bear in mind the noble heritage
OF flag and country that We have re.
ceived- from the grand old heroes and
fathers of the Republic
In past days, when the facts Of our
freedom and independent, protected citi-
zenship were more apparent, aud much
more demonstrable than they are now.
the en.blen.s OF our position and nation
were not much regarded. But at this
present, tie things which they typify and
illustrate are in such dire danger OF
vanishing. that we ought to take special
care to honor the en.blems themselves
that the fire OF true blue American pa
triotisn ever may be kept alive in our
hearts
For this reason we never should forget To
Unoover to the Stars and Stripes when
they are borne past Us in procession

be insisted by every American audience

CORRECTING THE SCALES.
Sealer of Weights and Measures
Issues Some New Rules.


The Commissioners, in accordance with
recommendations made them by Acting
Sealer of Weights and Measures Miller,
have Issued an order greatly reducing the
amount in which scales are allowed to
deviate from absolute accuracy. The for
rner limit Of tolerance, as this aalount is
called was one ounce in "a ch four pounds
for both s,rsles and weights, but Mr. Miller
states that this is far in excess OF scientific
allowances.
In weights, he said, there should never be
any error, and, therefore, the liTait of
tolerance is abolished so far as they re
concerned. In scales the following alassi-
fication of limits OF tolerance IS made:
For weighing scales from so to 100
tons, including all railroad scales, not
more than one ounce in each five pounds
in excess nor more than one ounce in each
thee pounds in deficiency.
Weighing scales, from three tons to
fifty tens capacity, not more than one
ounce in each twelve pounds in excess,
nor more than enc ounce in eight tons in
deficiency. Weighing scales from 1900
pounds TO three tons capacity, not more
than one ounce in each fifteen pounds In
excess, nor more than one ounce in each
ten polnds in deficiency. Weighing scales
from 200 pounds to 1900 pounds capae-

the will of u sovereign, but the uncom-

Her policy and her people have heen one

century But this railroad will wake up

big passenger traffic and freight trans

not stand it, and neither would Russian
