Stars and Stripes for Advertising

A sentimental boycott is being agitated
among the American colony to be directed
against London firm that has been flying

attached thereto, for an advertisement.
While, In England, this misuse of the ma
tional ensign Is not a misdemeanor Ito our

Sons of the American Revolution have sue

their flag from such disgrace. Several
Americans In London are organizing cru

abroad by citizens Of the United States as
well as at home. One firm has already very
courteously complied with the request to
remove Its name from she flag, and has SUBJ

old. The Regent street firm. however he s
shown less generosity, and It will be inter-
esting to see how long II will be before the
offensive letters are removed. American
tourists, not always tactful in the display
Of their patriotism, are, this year, In no

no inducement to the natives to work at
this gruesome toll.
The unconsumed bodies will be LEFT on

These 70 corpses represent two days dead

There are only IA eailmakers now;
In 1850 there were forty-one. but the num-
bers OF other warrant officers have been
Increased since then. Not one of the
present officers OF the marine corps was
In the service forty years ago. This fact
should prove encouraging to the Junior
second lieutenants Of the corps today
There were only chief engineers IN those
days; the present system of having as
sistant and passed assistant engineers
did not exist. There werepssistants, but
they were merely warrant machinists, as
we call them today 1t may be noticed
that none of the engineers had rank
either relative or substantive. There
were eleven navy agents, of whom Bar
ing Brothers Of London, appointed only
temporarily, had been agents for fifteen
years, since 1874. while ten permanent
agents had held office only for two OF
three years. '1F
We had navy yard at Sackett's har-
Dor. N. T., in 1859, and o naval ct ation

the latter case history is on the point OF
repeating itself. At Lexington, KY, we
had an agent for the inspection, test and
purchase Of hemp; at Reading, Pa, and
at Baltimore we had agents for the pur-
chase Of coal, and at various points along
the southern coast we had agents for the
preservation Of live oak and other tim

Buried at Sea

The following Is portion from a Rough
Riders" letter, dated July 18th, to his
mother, says the New York Evening Sun;
II must tell you something that know
will interest you. One Of the best chaps
aboard the ship today, member of the
crew, got mixed up with a big air fan on
the ship. and when he was rescued he had
broken leg and arm, visible and uncertain
wounds in his back. The latter proved to
be very bad, and the instinct that seems 70
come into mans mind when death is near
at hand prompted him to say that he knew
he was passing away, and sure enough he
was.
HE was an old fellow OF about so years
and he was known as donkey man on the
ship. He ran the donkey engine and was
a highly respected old chap. He had a
mate just about the same age, and when
the poor injured chap knew that he was
going to die he simply asked that his mate
be sent for and made only the request that
he would not leave him. as he would be
gone shortly.
$50 with the simple consolation Of the
grip of his trembling and weeping mates
hand and the expression of a few sympa-
thetic eyes that looked down on him, the
old fellow shuffled on this mortal coil in
perfect knowledge and without murmuf,
and his poor mate. who walks about the
chip with bearing of frightened detection,
makes 1t appear that the hand of death
has shown favor to his dead friend and
passed by him.
1.-THE afternoon was beautiful and at 1858
they tolled the ships bells for five minutes.
When eight bells were struck the body OF
the dead man was brought upon the deck
realty sewed UP in canvas and heavily
weighted with lead. 1t was covered with
ten Union Jack, and as the ship was stop
ped promptly at 4. all hands came UP with
barred heads to pay their last charity to

A Long Handle on the Powder Puff

The manufacturer of silver is not as In

articles as he is in getting up an array OF
silver for the dining table. 1t Is necessary
to be In the business to really keep in touch
with all the new devices to spend money

however, there Is something that is little
