The English Flag.

England's national flag has been
called "a triplet Of crosses, - for it is
composed of the cross of St. George, the
cross Of st. Andrew and the cross Of
st. Patrick. Thus: The flag Of EST.
George for merrie England, - a red cross
on a white ground, the red lines drawn
straight from top to bottom and from
side to side; the flag of st. Andrew for
Scotland, white cross on a blue
ground; the flag of St. Patrick for Ire
land, red cross on white ground, the
narrow red lines drawn from corner to
corner: By placing the cross of st.
George on that Of St. Andrew we have
1.-THE jack as ordered in 1906 by
James I, whose signature was always
jacques hence the expression, .<the
Jack" By laying the cross Of st. Pat
rick over that Of st. Andrew and then
placing that of st. George over both,
we have *'the union jack" as borne
since the union with Ireland in 18OO.--

How he detected the fraud is related in

The Old Man Waa Cured.

''Talk about curing people of bad
habits, one Of the funniest cases ever
knew occurred on the south side some
years ago." said Detective Thomas Nc
Quaide. There was an old fellow over
there who would insist ON fussing will,
his wife, who would invariably give
him the worst of it. Then he would run
up stairs and hang out of the second
story window, holding to the ledge,
shouting like wlldfire that he was going
to drop and kill himself. OF course the
wife would relent and set up noise
that would bring out the neighbors for
blocks, and the man would be pulled
in the window by friends. e.s.-
"This got to be coming too frequently,
and some of the boys who lived near,
and who had loosened several Joints in
their spines at different times pulling
him in, decided to stop it. One fine day
it came again. The old fellow hung out
of the window, shouting that he would
surely jump and end it all; the wife
came rushing into the street in Mysteries,
and the neighbors ran as before to pull
him up. The first man who got there
hit the mans fingers with stick, MAX
ing him loosen his hold, and, to the
horror Of all, he dropped to the hard
pavement with a howl that was pitiful.
He was not badly hurt, but it cured
him of that bad habit - Pittsburp Dis

True Courtesy.

General Robert E. Lee was in the cars
going to Richmond one day and was
seated at the end farthest from the door.
The other seats were filled with officers
and soldiers. An old woman, poorly
dressed, entered at one OF the stations,
and finding no seat, and having none Of
tered to her, approached the end where
the general was seated. He Immediately
rose and gave her his seat. 4. !.
Instantly there was q general rising,
each one offering his seat to the general.
But he calmly said: 3s
- No, gentlemen, if there was no seat
for the infirm old woman, there can be
none for me- =
s The effect was remarked. One after
another got out Of the car. The seats
seemed to be too hot for them, and the
general and the old lady soon had the
car to themselves.

VEGETABLE GEMS.

Bamboo Opals and Cocoanut Pearls Found
In the Philippines, Though Rarely.
Among other queer things found in
the Philippines are vegetable gems.
There are not many Of them, though.
The bamboo is empty normally. One
might cut open a jungle of the giant
grass and find unaltered hollowness.
But once in a million times or more ac-
cident brings to light in the bamboo
stem a gem. Nature has nodded into a
lump little of the flinty material
which makes the outer stem so hard.
The nodule usually presents the appear
ance Of an opal, and several specimens
are in the museums which reproduce
the characteristic lines Of that gem,
These nodules are known as tabaceer.
1t is interesting to note that the first
chemical and neurological examina-
ton of them was made by the James
SmithsQn whose munifcence establish
ed the first Of the scientific bureaus of
the American government.
In the condition in which the fruit is
known in the United States the milk
in the cocoanut is considered it's only
content. The really ripe nut, however,
is filled with white spongy mass, rich
in the finest oil which the nut produces.
This sponge is exposed to the hot sun
for two or three days in a wooden
trough until thoroughly pulped. The
last Of the oil is then extracted by
squeezing the soft sponge in the hands,
Very rarely this careful handling has
developed the presence Of small spheres
which have much of the 1uster of the
pearl. Eight or ten Of these coooanut
pearls, all discovered in the Philip
pines, are treasured in European muse
ums. They range from the size of pin
head to that of very small pea-New

CHINESE SHOES.
The Comfort and Healthfulness Of Woven
+@ Straw Sandals. AZ,

The Comfort and Healthfulness Of Woven
49, Straw Sandals. !,$t
II may seem to he quarreling with
my bread and BUTTER said an up town
chiropodist to one Of his best customers
the other day, "but in my humble and
somewhat professional opinion, the most
sensible Of all men in the matter of foot
wear is the Chinaman. Did you ever
notice his feet? I don't believe there is
such a thing as a corn or a bunion in
all China. Chiropodists would starve
to death there so far as the requirements
of the masculine foot are concerned.
Whatever the deformities inflicted on
the feet of women in China may be, the
men certainly enjoy sound and comfort
able understandings. Look at the Chi
nese laundrymen here in Washington.
They stand at their work 10 hours a
day. No class of workingmen know Of
spend SO many hours on their feet as
they do. Yet they never break down
there, and, physically, they are won
derfully healthy race.
"Simple living and freedom from the
nervous pursuits Of our civilization may
have something to do with it, but at
tribute their exemption from foot weak
ness and disease to the kind of house
shoe so universally worn by them. I
have pair that I have worn for several
years, and I wouldn't wear anything
else for genuine indoor comfort. They
are woven of straw and seaweed and
,soled with horse hide. There is a thick
sole of straw above the leather, and
through this the air can circulate free;
ly, keeping the muscles Of the under
part Of the foot always cool. The laun-i
drymen, you notice, are usually bare
foot, which is an added advantage in
the matter of healthfulness. There is
about as little material in the uppers as
is consistent with the idea of shoe,
and this is just enough to keep the
thing on the foot. This upper, too, is
woven loosely Of seaweed, so that the air
can have access to the foot. Nowhere
does this shoe pinch or in the least de-
gree press the foot '"~*
"These are the indoor shoes of the
Chinaman. On the street here in the
United States nowadays he wears very
commonly the leather shoes or boots of
American manufacture. That is one of
the ways in which he is becoming
Americanized. But the outdoor cloth
shoe of China is great deal worn also.
That, like the indoor shoe, is very thick
and soft in the sole, and the foot is
never pinched or strained by it. The
healthiest 'footgear ever known proba-
bly, was the sandal of the Greeks. It
had no upper, and, as you will see in
statuary, the feet Of men and women
were ideally perfect. All the sandal af-
fordee was a protection from the ground.
TO him who wears sandals say the
Arabs, it is as if the world were shod
with leather The Chinaman seems to
follow out this motto, and his shoes are
nearly soles and nothing more But the
great secret of the excellence of his in
door shoe is the half inch straw sole"

Usually Thursday, wheeling Day"
is the day of largest attendance at the
annual West Virginia state fair in this
city, and this year. II the plans Of Sec
rotary George Hook do not go amlss, 1t
will be a record breaker among record
breaking days.
Secretary Hooks idea is to make the
demonstration on Thursday patriotic
from start to hnlsh-he would have a
universal display of flags and bunting In
wheeling and surrounding towns;would
have the Greater Wheeling community
show that 1t is at once patriotic and
loyal not only to flag and country but
also to the greatest fixed Institution
Wheeling worcestershire great state
fair.
In this connection, It has been sug-
gested to Mr.. Hook that the time is ripe
and the occasion opportune for turning
"wheeling Day" at the fair into peace
celebration for this community, and 1t Is
likely that the management Of the fair
will act favorably upon the suggestion.
It would not be amiss to arrange for
one or two speeches by well known
speakers. These addresses could be
made from the Judges stand on the
track, and addressed to the people in
the grand stand. which is always
crowded on wheeling Day."
The entries in the several departments
OF the fair are coming in now In
stream that will not cease until entries
close on Saturday. Miss Anna Rey-
mann and a committee of assistants, win
be located on the grounds on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday Of this week, TO
receive entries in the womens. children's
and art departments. Prof. W. H. An
dersou Is also located on the grounds.
receiving entries in the educational de-
partment.
Friday and Saturday will be busy
days on the grounds. The track will be
shaped up and the finishing touches will
put the grounds in excellent condition.
Some of the larger exhibits will begin to
arrive tomorrow. In machinery hall
there is much active preparation. su-
perlntendent E. NJ. Holiday inns his
plans laid for more suitable method
OF arranging exhibits. Visitors to the
