THE SHIP IN PROFESSIONS.
II Is an Old Custom ana Still Popular
Dating Back n Century
or More. =.

A pretty feature in Washington pro-
cessions, says the Star, political and ma
tional, for many years, has been the
ship of state" or Constitution" as
aoat, often complete in its appoint
ments, armed with miniature cannon,
and manned by sailors. Sometimes the
intervals between the appearance of
such floats have been of such length
that the ship is hailed as an entirely
new figure. Under the name of Con
stitution" or Union" however, the ship
float has been feature in political
demonstrations in the United States
for over century. AS far as known the
first exhibition of the kind (at least in
this part of the country was in Bal
timore in 17ss, and the credit of its in
PRODUCTION belongs to Commodore
Joshua Barney, who, though a mere
boy, was valiant officer in the revolu-
ton, and distinguished himself in the
war of 1912 with his fotilla. In that
year the ratification of the constitution
was the great question before the peo-
pie. and there was division of senti-
iHeLt OH IL, OuOSS III ldNOI VI ito idtihCd-
ton as framed forming the federalist
party. In Baltimore a great federalist
demonstration was projected-a pro-
cession from the eastern part of the city
around what is now the harbor to the
hill south of the basin, and mass meet
ing. Commodore Barney took promi.
nent part in this affair, had his ship in
line under the name of the "Fedcralist, y
and the name of Federal Hill naturally
attached to the vicinity to which the
ship led the line and where the meeting
was held.

With its As feet of water has come
and gone. leaving in its wake desolate
homes silent factories and workshops,
muddy and Shiny streets and roads,
upturned houses, broken fences, des-
pair and gloom depicted on all faces
of those who few short days since
were cheerful and happy, preparing
for the spring clean up and improve,
ments that would make beautiful
city to smile and beckoh less fortunates
to our portals. Hark what do we hear?
Is it the notes of discomfort the
sulleness of dispair? No, it is the
switch of brooms the people sweeping
and cleaning up the sediment deposited
by the flood. The click of the paper
hanger, the noise of the saw ana
hammer of the carpenter, the roar OF
the furnaces, the sputtering OF the gas
fires, the ring of cheer in empty rooms
filling up with their furniture, the
oncoming tide of industry, that Will
fill our business houses, shops and
factories with the hustle and push of
business that will cleanse and repair
the sad havoc OF the waters, which will
increase from day to day in volume and
energy until every vestige of the flood
is effaced, that would mar the beauty
of our prosperous municipality, and
make the destruction, the loss, the
frantic efforts of the unfortunates &c
save their property. The horrible re-
suits of the ravages of the Hoods as
they are recalled will be contrasted
with the beauty of our tree bordered
avenues, towering gardens and grassy
lawns, the stately mansions, the cosy
vine embowered cottage. The hustle
and hurry of our business houses ane
factories. The gay promenades ano
we'll kept parks. The placid surface O.
the rivers as they roll onward in theil
usual bounds.
AND WE ARE READY to assist every
one to bring about this cheerful pros
pect. Our large and varied stocks ar'
in shape to contribute of their fullness
without one penny advance on anI
article we have.

The Flag in Early Days.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JoURNAL:
recent gathering in which the hall was
profusely decorated with flags. coupled
with published statement seen several
weeks after the destruction OF the
Maine that since that event ten million
flags had been manufactured, forcibly re-
minded the writer that time was, and
that not SO very long ago, when our flag
was not the familiar object it now is. 1t
was seen, particularly in country towns,
only on rare occasions: fact not easily
realized by the younger generation,
though probably its appearance was greet
ed then with as much enthusiasm as at the
present. There may be readers of The
Journal who will recall the little local
events mentioned below; and although IN
important in themselves, they may be, in
small degree, illustrative of the ''then'i in
contrast with the ''now.' On certain
day in the summer of 1852 large num-
Der of people had gathered at the church
in Troy to listen to an eloquent and stir
ring address by the Rev Mr. Weaver of
Bangor on the subject of temperance, a
question then agitating the public
throughout the country. A flag, which
through considerable effort of the citizens
had been procured for the occasion, was
floating majestically over the church. The
writer, then a boy, remembers wildly
with what awe and veneration the gaze
was turned toward the National emblem
as it gracefully folded and unfolded in the
gentle breeze Of that delightful June
day, and the remark of an old citizen
standing at the door of the church. acting
as usher, to another citizen: ''We don't
often see the flag
In the spring of 1861, few miles dis
tant from the above mentioned church,
the ladies living in the vicinity of a store
wishing to give expression to their
patriotism, agreeable to prior arrange
ments, met with tile merchants wife and
proceeded to make a flag of liberal
dimensions from material contributed
from the staro-cotton goods for a
foundation. The following morning the
flag was thrown to the breeze on a line
extending from an upper window in the
house to a corresponding window in the
store. 1t was pronounced ching OF

no blue field for the stars to rest upon,

However, the flag continued to float

woods. and because he met single OK
teams and female drivers he concludes
that Nova Scotians are behind the times.
He also saw few of the old fashioned
saw mills, and speaks Of the Ashland
mill, Maine, with its 20 car loads week.
Let me tell him our Province has plenty
of such mills as that and if he wants to
see civilization and culture equal to any,
he need only come via the Annapolis and
