HIS ONLY COMPLAINT.
Didn't Want to Break Amy Shack
les, but Had Grievance

Mr.. Meekton was Vainly endeaVoring
to get a composition which looked like
q mixture Of tar and molasses off his
hands, when he turned to interrupt his
wife's remarks.
Henrietta" he said, you have lust
been o another meeting, haven't you?''
Certainly, she answered throwing
her gloves on the center table
Il suppose you made a speech?"
Naturally
You said that man is an oppressive
tyrant, didn't you?'
Yes
You observed that it was time to
break the shackles with which the hus-
band sought to trammel the freedom OF
a wife, and to show him that his mas
terry was, after all. but relic of bar
barism which enlightened humanity
has outgroWn."
You overheard me rehearsing my
speech" she exclaimed
Never mind. And then you referred
to the way in which a husband ought
to pose as a domineering dictator and
an irresponsible autocrat?'
Yes, did. And I may as well in
quire, cnce for all, if you have any OBJ
lection to offer to those remarks?"
None, whatever. Henrietta" replied
Mr.. Meektcn, as he took some earth
out Of a flower pot and tried to rub
some Of the coating off his hands.
"Only ] must say it seems little hard
that after enjoying the luxury of thus
relieving your mind you should come
back ard criticise the way in which L

Language OF Flags.

To strike the flag" is to lower the
national colors in token of submission.
Flags are used as the symbol of rank
and command, says the School Jour
nal" the officers using them being call
ed flag officers. Such flags are square,
to distinguish them from other ban
ners.
a flag of truce" is a white flag dis
played to an enemy TO indicate a de-
sire for a parley or consultation.
The white flag is the sign of peace.
often so out to the field to rescue the
wounded or bury the dead, under the
protection of white flag.
The red flag is a sign of defiance. and
is often used by revolutionists. In our
service it is a mark of danger, and
shows a vessel to be receiving or dis
charging her powder
The black flag is the sign of piracy.
The yellow flag shows a vessel TO be
at quarantine and is the sign of con-
tagious disease. A flag at half-mast
means mourning. Fishing and other
vessels return with flag at half-mast
to announce the loss or death of some
of the men. Dipping a flag is lowering
it slightly and then hosting it again.
to salute a vessel or fort
If the President of the United States
goes affoat the American flag is car
ried in the bows of his barge or hoisted
at the main of the vessel on board OF
which he is.

DRANK THE KAISER's BEER.
A Tale Emperor William is Said TO
Tell on Himself

Frank Dewey, the Berlin correspond
ent, tells an amusing story of the Ger
man Emperor. 1t happened on the i'm
perial yacht. The Kaiser wanted a
glass Of beer, and a sailor was ordered
to fetch him one. The man was new
to the yacht, and the presence of the
Emperor overcame him. In his embar-
rassment he stumbled and spilled part
of the beer
All" said the Emperor, Il see you do
not know how to Go it. Come, and l
will show you how to bring the Kaiser
a glass of beer"
Whereupon he arose from his chair,
made the sailor take his seat. and went
below for a glass of beer. Presently he
returned, walked across the deck with
dignifed ease. and. with a low bow, pre-
sented the drink to the sailor. The sail
or had quite recovered his composure.
He put forward his hand and took the
glass.
ITO the Kaiser" he said. as he drank
it. And the Kaiser-well. it's n story
the Kaiser tells on himself.-WashinS-
ton Star.

YOUTH.

THERE is no vitality like that of
youth. 1t is grand. 1t is great
and should be highly priced But
when youth stupidity depletes vital
force. what is the result? 1t is the
same everywhere. In all coun-
tries of the world Weakness ensues.
First of all there are pains in the
back, often accompanied by fear, dread
of danger that does not exist and gem
eral restlessness. Then sleep that re-
freshes becomes impossible. This
weakens more and more the constitu-
ton till it is in danger of breaking
down altogether. But sleep must be
had. The man grown old before his
time seeks a poor and useless stimu-
liant. He should seek "Hudyan," which
will renew his youth and his energy.
This is only possible by asking the
Hudsonian doctors for help. Then the
story which the patient tells is always
similar to this:
The record-union., 1898-04-12
g. e+~+>..>+>..>+.>..%+~..>+s...~

''Hudyan'' has thousands of friends
in California. and it has them in all
parts of the world. They write CRATE
ful letters to the staff of physicians
who lead the world in this special class
of diseases. If you have weak kidneys
why not try what can be done for you +?
There is absolutely no charge for med
ical advice and, if you will take the
trouble to ask, you have circulars and
testimonials sent to you free. Then
again, if you have a suspicion of blood
taint in your system, the ''30day blood
cure" surely clears it right out of the
system, no matter what the stage may
be. Ask for these circulars, too. They
are free, as ''Hudyan'' evidence is. But
don't delay. Get back that light-heart-
ed feeling of youth. and get it back
this week. Be man and feel young
again.

This was a. just and well-deserved
rebuke, and, in my opinion, it should be
repeated every time we hear a New
Yorher talking of the hideousness of
his town. 1t would not be worth while
to say anything of the kind to our elo-
quent Western critics, for they do not
mean half what they say. Their at
titude in the matter is merely a pose
pose that pleases them nightly and
affords us lots of quiet fun.-John Gill

all the vulgar vehemence of an angry
washerwoman.
Mr.. Hommersham's first impulse was
to make his escape. But he found he
could not do this without revealing his
presence. and increasing thereby the
unpleasantness of the situation. So he
sat down again on the seat from which
he had half risen. disgusted at the part
of eavesdroDDer that was forced upon
him. He soon gathered that it was the
little nursery governess who was un-
/ dergoing verbal chastisement, and as
| insult followed impertinence, his blood
began to boil with shame for the honor
of noble countess.
The occasion of the uproar was q mere
trifle. The poor little governess had for
few minutes forgotten her position
and her responsibilities, and had ac-
cepted the invitation Of some of the girls
of the house party to make up a set at
lawn-tennis. One of the little girls, her
charges, had taken the opportunity to
wander away among the flower beds and
get a lace frock torn and draggled.
The culprit had made little defense
at first. and that in an almost maud
ible voice. but as the whip of words
still descended he caught a reply given
in tones of quivering Indignation. What
was there in the sound OF her voice
to make him feel as though something
had clutched at his heart? Trembling.
he crept from his seat and placed him
self so as to get glimpse of the two
women.
The girl stood facing her angry mis-
| tess. There were marks of tears on
her flushed cheeks. but she held her
! young body proudly, and her eyes
flashed back answering haughtiness
James Homersham from his hiding
place watched her with dilating pupils
and a wildly beating heart. 1t was as

Before reciting the details imme-
diately connected with the destruction
of the Maine, it may be said that did
not expect she would be blown up,
either from interior or exterior causes,
although precautions were taken in
both directions, Nevertheless, I be-
lieved that she could be blown up from
the outside, provided a sufficient num-
Der of persons of evil disposition. and
with the conveniences at hand, were
free to conspire for the purpose. 1t
was necessary to trust the Spanish au-
thorities in great degree for protection

primary cause of the destruction of the
Maine was an exposion under the bot
tom of the ship, as reported by the

REMEDY FOR HOG CHOLERA.
the Immune Serum-An .Im-
pOrtant Discovery.

After experiments extending over q
period Of 20 years, and the expenditure
of many thousands Of dollars, the
United States government is at last
combating successfully those most per
nicious diseases, hog cholera and swine
plague. The results obtained by the
bureau Of animal industry OF the agri-
cultural department, especially during
the last year, have been highly salts
factory, and the scientists who have
devoted so much time and labor to the
work feel amply repaid for their efforts.
The discovery Of serum which rem
ders hogs immune from the ravages Of
cholera and plague is an important one.
1t means a great deal to one of the fore
most American industries, and the
benefits arising from it are almost In
calculable. The propagation of the Sc
rum requires the use of many animals.
At the experiment station, where 1t is
made, there are donkeys, cows, calves,
mules and horses, all patiently submit
ting to the process of incubation and
blood drawing. Strange as it may ap-
pear, not single hog is used In making
the antitoxin fluid which is such a
blessing to his family. Hogs have not
been found well adapted to the purpose
for which the government uses other
animals. Donkeys are the favorites
with the experimenters.
The station at Bethesda. Nd, eight
miles from Washington. is a unique
institution. On the well-kept farm
there are dozens of horses and mules
that are strangers to the plow and har
ness. There are cows whose days for
giving milk are over, and whose lives, in
the eyes of the scientists, are devoted
to higher objects. The farm is pre-
sided oyer by DR.. Ernest c. Schroeder
a man who. although still young, has
made a name in the scientific world.
DIR. d. E. Salmon. chief of the bureau
of animal industry, said recently:
"We have used serum on 1000 animals
this year and have saved over SO per
cent. of herds treated. While the treat
ment was going on observations were
made of 1, 100 hogs in other herds not
treated for the lack of serum, and so
per cent. died. Last year the percent
age of hogs saved out of 240 treated was
75, while in other herds not treated SIS
per cent died. IN. Y. Sun.

One Of the most striking elementsin
Chinese life is its solidarity. Asis well
krown, the family has a much larger
function than with us. The marriage
of son does not break iii upon the
family life, but enlarges it, the daugh-
ter-in-law becoming incorporated in
the family of her husband. Several
generations may be welded together
in one home. the authority Of the
elders becoming the more absolute
with time. Growing old Is certairly
