orr A NEW ENSIGN.

We have noted with pain the ragged
American ensign that has been floating
conspicuously from the city flag staff
in the New Market place.
VT is about time that the city raised
: new banner. There is no glory to an
ensign that is tattered by anything but
the cnery's shot and shell. II signifies
only civic neglect and indifference.
It has occurred to us that the ragged
ensign which so poorly represents the
city's pride and patriotism was used for
stormy weather only. But il is as un-
necessary for the storm flag to be torn
and dirty as for the banner that is
preserved to'foat in the sunshine. 1t
does not matter how small in size the
storm dag may be but 1t ought to be
whole.

CARE OF THE FINGER NAILS.
They Can Be Kept In Perfect Con-
ditiOn With Little Trouble.

the nails are properly treated, will keep
them firm and exquisite in color. After
the hands are washed each morning
use the nail brush thoroughly, and then
when they are quite dry push back.
very gently, the skin that is inclined to
grow up around the edges of the nails.
Under no circumstances use steel
point to push back this skin, and do not
cut il away as the professional mani
cures are apt to do. While the nail is
still moist use the point OF a file TO re-
move any dust or specks that the brush
has neglected and then, with nail scts-
sors. sharp. curved and kept for this
purpose only cut the nails in a shape
that suits your finger tips. The ride
ulously long nail, which looks like
claw. is entirely out or fashion. Use
the file to make smooth the rough edges
left by the scissors, and then take the
least little bit of red nail paste and
smear The tiniest morsel on each of the
nails. Don't let 1t get into the edges or
roots, for it is only intended as q sort of
oil to keep the nails soft and TO prevent
their growing horny; then sprinkle q
pinch OF powder on the pslisher and
rub each nail with quick, even stroke
that will result in giving IL brightness
that is refined looking, but not bril-
liancy that suggests that only one
shines at her finger tips. After this
give the hands another bath, using hot
water and a delicate soap; then close
them and rub one set of nails against
the other. achieving In this way a
proper finish.--August Ladies Home
Journal.

their guest Supreme Chancellor Philip

HIS WIRES, HE SAID.
Sub-Contractor Henry Arrested For S:v-
erlng Trolley Wires.

Sub-contractor p. McHenry, who has
been in charge of the new electric
street railway between Saunderstown
and Narragansett Pier, was placed un-
der arrest yesterday afternoon on the
serious charge of viciously injuring
electric apparatus, the extreme penalty
OF which is a fine of $4,000 or two years
Imprisonment. McHenry is accused of
having cut the wires of the company in
several places, thereby stopping the
running of the cars
The passengers who had started out
for ride yesterday found themselves
suddenly at "A standstill, for the car
would not go. At first IL was thought
the power had given out and then thai
there was some defect I'm the car. An
investigation soon showed the nature
Of the trouble. The wire had been cut,
and later II was found had been cut
in other places as well. McHenry was
suspected and arrested, and he admit
ted that he had cut the wires. He gave
as his reason that he was tired OF
working with live wires. He stated that
they were his wires and that hs
had a right to do as he pleased with
them. He intended. he said, to repair
the damage after he had finished his
work. To the officers OF the line this
reason seemed hardly satisfactory
McHenry was arraigned before Judge
Lewis. of the Second District court,
and was bound over for trial. The
affair has caused the company a great
deal of inconvenience.

Death of Shakespearean Col
IectOr.

Prof. Leo OF Berlin, the Shakespeare
collector, is dead. His real name waa
Levi, and his marriage with daughter
of the rich Hamburg Heines, the bank
ers, enabled him to indulge many costly
eccentricities. He was professor by the
grace of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg,
having never taught in a university.
He thought he looked like Shakespeare
and once sent his photograph, gotten
up in Elizabethan dress. to Porf. Deliue
of Bonn, as a copy of a genuine por-
trait Delius thanked him for the gift,
saying that it was revelation to him,
as he had no idea that Shakespeare
looked so confoundedly like Jew.

THE PORTO RIcAN, CAMPAIGN.

While Gen. Miles has a force be-
lieved to be sufficient to conquer the
Porto Rican garrisons one after the
other in handy fashion, the belief that
his campaign viii be a particularly
easy one is gaining ground.
From Ponce to San Juan there is said
to be q first rate military road and
both for his men and his supplies Miles
will find 1t far easier going than did
Skaters army on its short but terrible
bushwhacking tramp to the gates of
Santiago. According to all accounts,
indeed, the tight little island Of Porto
Rico appears to have subdued and
civilized topography and military oper-
ations may be carried on quite comfort
ably.
But this is not all of IT. 1t is incredi-
BILE that in view of the peace negotia-
tions and the conviction which doubt
less maintains in Madrid that Porto
Rico must be given up that the gar
risons anywhere along the lire or In
San Juan itself will make any serious
resistance to overwhelming force. Doubt
less the pride of the Spanish officers
and soldiers would prompt good
iight at any point where prospect was
offered OF temporary victory. But
Miles arrangements contemplate no
such opportunity for the foe and
quick and almost bloodless campaign
Is the reasonable hope.

The most interesting use to which
carrier pigeons have ever been put will
be on the occasion of the coronation of
the young Queen, Wilhelmina, of Hol-
land. To Amsterdam on that day no
fewer than 5000 homing pigeons, collect
ed from every portion of the low coun-
tries, will be deposited in the public
square at the rear of the famous Ryx
Museum, and *st a prearranged mo-

NOSTALGIA.

Most all OF us, at one time or an
other. have suffered more or less
severe attack OF nostalgia, though few
OF Us recognize the disease by that
name. 1t is homeslckness, that's what
nostalgia is. AS Is generally familiar.
though attacks may be severe they are
rarely fatal except under unusual con-
dtions. re- a.
Soldering. though. seems to supply
those conditions. The records OF our
Civil War show many hudreds of
deaths from nostalgia or inconsistencies,
and now the returns from our army in
Cuba report the fatal result OF an at
tack to a Massachusetts, volunteer. The
acquaintance that most everybody has
had with the disease is enough TO make
us believe that to die of inconsistencies
must be peculiarly forlorn and distress
ing. And the army surgeons say that
a really bad case of homesickness is
more dangerous than yellow fever,
since there is no cure known. except to
send the lad home. and that is often
impossible. All that can be done Is to
make dying as easy rs possible for the
sufferer.
