The bunting is made in Massachu-
betts. It is entirely of wool and of the
best quality. 1t must have SO many
threads and fixed tensile strength.
The colors must be fast.
The stripes are cut out just as cloth
ing is cut, in many layers at time,
by means of circular knife that is
kept as sharp as razor. Then they
are sent to the sewing-room, where
skillful young women sew the stripes
together and place the blue field in
place.
The stars are cut out thirty at a
lme by means of cold chisel and
big iron-bound mallet. Folds of
goods, smoothly woven, Of a standard
grade, are laid in yard lengths, thi rty
thicknesses together, on large
square block made of cubes of oak,
put together with the grain running
in different directions. A metal star,
used as o model, is placed on the mus
lin and carefully marked around with
Q lead pencil. Then the workman

As Many Kinds Of Turtie ~ Fish.

Did you know that there were tur-
ties of so many kinds that it required
the mind of naturalist to remember
their names2 And did you know that
out of all these, only two varieties
wefe convertible into savory soup?
They are the Chelonia Mydas and o
variety of terrapin.
They are caught mainly in the Gulf
of Mexico. The desirable weight for
turtle is from 40 to 140 pounds. 1t
is delicate being and requires ten
derest care or it will inconsiderately
die before being cooked. At the same
time by an almost feminine contradic-
toriness, it is very tenacious of life,
and while it may perish of chilly
breeze it is quite likely to refuse to
die for twelve or fifteen hours after
having its head chopped of.
The turtle which provides soup for
aldermanic banquets and that which
provides combs for aldermanic wives
are not the same brand. The latter
is the hawk's-bill turtle.
The common turtle is the only am.
phibious animal whose contentment is
proverbial, but whose brain is 80
small that it can't be taught q single
trick. New York Journal.

expert needlewomen to do this work.
One of the most difficult flags to
make is that of China. It Is triangular
in shape, brilliant yellow, with .
black, open-mouthed dragon crawling
about. One OF the most beautiful
flags is that Of the President OF the
United States. II has the coat-of.
arms OF the nation on blue field, sur
rounded with stars. The eagle is
white, and the shield he holds is
properly colored.
There has been a deal OF dispute
over the evolution Of the American
flag. When the Revolutionary War
broke out the flags used by the colo
nists were English ensigns, bearing
the Union Jack, upon which were
written Liberty and Union" or other
similar expressions. Then were de-
veloped the Pine-Tree flag, the Rat
tlesnake flag and many others.
The American ensign was adopted-in
1T77 by the Continental Congress.
There is dispute as to the significance
of the flag. The explanation accepted as
the most probable is that the blue
field is intended TO represent the
night Of afiliction that in 1777 sur
rounded the thirteen States, which
were typified by the white stars ar
arranged in circle, signifying the
endless duration of the new Nation,
while the stripes were chosen out Of
compliment to New York and the
Dutch Republic, and were q compi-
ment to Republican principles.
The number Of stripes symbolized
the thirteen States, the first and thir-
teenth, both red, representing New
Hampshire and Georgia respectively.
General Washington vas member Of
the committee appointed TO design o
flag. Mrs. John Ross, Of Philadel-
phia, made the first flag. She de-
signed the fve-pointed star.
John Paul Jones put the new flag
to the first public use. He ran it mp
to the masthead OF the Ranger. The
flag, strangely enough, had but twelve
stars, probably due to o blunder.
Jones had the same flag or the Bon
Homme Richard.
OF course everybody knows that
each star in the flag represents a
State, and that for two years the en-.
sign had fifteen stripes, the addi-
tional one representing Vermont and
Kentucky, The flag has been un-
changed, save for the adding Of stars.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

An aseptic barber shop has been
started in Baltimore, where all objects
taat touch the face have been steril-
lied.
Asiatic cholera was first supposed
to have originated from the consump-
tion of unsound rice, and was called
the "rice disease"
There are several varieties Of fish
that cannot swim. In every instance
they are deep sea dwellers, and crawl
about the rocks, using their tails and
fins rs legs.
Experiments with locomotives on
the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad
show that a slight addition of graph
ite to the oil used for lubricating pur-
poses promotes economy.
1t has recently been claimed that
iron ships fitted with electric plants
suffer rapid deterioration of their
pipes having direct connection with
the sea, due to electrolytic action.
1t is said that every thread Of
spiders web is made up of about five
thousand separate fbres. If pound
of this thread were required II would
occupy 5000 spiders full year to
furnish it.
A case of leprosy in its worst form
has been discovered in London. No
hospital or home for incurables will
take the patient in and no means of
isolating him from contact with other
persons has been found yet.
According to German publication.
q chemist of that country has prepared
fluid that has the power when in
jected into the tissue of plant, near
its roots, of aneesthetizing the plant
not destroying it, but temporarily
suspending its vitality.
Recent investigations by DR.. Lin
den Kohl have shown that the princ!-
pal source of the gulf stream is not
the Florida channel, but the region
between and beside the islands of the
West Indies. At Binioni the volume
of this warm water is sixty times as
great as the combined volume of all
the rivers in the world at their mouths.
Recent developments in train light
ing with the storage battery rs an i'm
portant adjunct warrant the belief that
the electric light will at no distant day
be universally used for illuminating
day and sleeping coaches on all steam
railroads. Not only is this true of the
United States, but one of the largest
railway companies in England is
already equipping fifty of its day
coaches with dynamos and storage bat
teries of a system which has been
successfully tested for some months
past.

Old Farm Wagons,

No really good farming is possible
without good wagons. An old,
broken-down wagon, with tires always
likely to come loose and axles or
wheels sure to break whenever any
unusual strain comes upon either, is
perhaps the most expensive piece Of
property farmer can have on his
farm. But the old, worn-out wheels
need not be thrown aside If all else is.
If the spokes are cut down and new
tire put around, the wheel will last a
long time on truck wagon to be used
only on the farm. This is much bet
ter than trying to patch up the old
wagon for going on the road to mar
ket, and often paying each year
twenty-five per cent. Of what q new
wagon would cost. The cheapness Of
iron enables wagon makers to sell the
best wagons more cheaply than ever
before. There Is not much reduction
in the cost Of repairing, as the chief
factor in repairing old wagons is the
labor.-Boston Cultivator.

It is an excellent time to talk about
flags, particularly the American flag
the finest of them oil. It takes an in
credible number of them to supply the
annual demands Of the nation.
Nobody knows how many are made.
There is one firm in Elizabeth street,
says the New York World, that manu-
factures more than 150, 1000, 900 each
year, and there are scores of other
makers in this country. From which
IL may be inferred that there are half
q dozen flags made annually for each
man, woman and child in the United
States.
OF course tho majority of these flags
are little affairs three inches long and
two inches. wide, which sell for twenty
seven cents gross. They are printed
on muslin and are turned out by the
million. Cheap muslin flags are made
six feet long and forty inches wide.
The good flags, those made of bunt-
ing, sewed together, and with care
fully arranged stars, are manufactured
by fag-making firms and by every sail
aud awning maker in the country.
The most interesting place where
flags are made is Building No. 7 in the
Brooklyn Navy-Yard. There every
flag used in the United States navy is
made. There are the vari ious United
States flags, signal flags, pennants, en-
signs, flags of high officials, from the
President of the United States down,
and the flags of forty-three foreign
nations. Wherefore il will be seen
that the flag outfit of a United States
warship is pretty extensive.
just now the workers under James
Crimmins, master Aagmaker, are very
busy. Nowhere are flags SO carefully
made. Every star, stripe, bar and
device is measured to geometrical ac-
curacy, and each flag must stand a
strength test. They are being turned
out at the rate of 100 q week.

The Shades That Go.

In dress goods brown will, it is ex-
pected, be much worn. The shades
range from bright tobacco to castor
and the slightly grayish tea colors.
There are also bright golden tints and
those with strong hint of pink. A
brown cloth gown of light weight,
with touches of yellow or pale rose
at the throat and in the hat would be
a safe purchase for those contemplat-
ing a southern trip. Cloth is coming
more and more to the front. Black is
also in immense favor, and black
cloth skirts, it is predicted by those
who know, take the place of the
black satin and brocade skirts, with
separate waists, of last season. Gray,
blue and lilac, also pale green, will
reign as favorites.

stories of Seven Queens.

One day the queen of Servia, while
playing at Biarritz, missed valuable
portion Of her jewels. A few days
later an advertisement appeared in the
local papers to the effect that il the
jewelry were returned to the queen
she would present it to the poor Of
Biarrits.
Two days after she received her lost
or stolen jewels by post, accompanied
by sheet Of coarse paper, on which
was scrswled in printed characters:
II lhall be curious to see il q queen
can keep her word" The queen did
keep her word and presented the re-
stored trinkets to the sisters Of char
ity, who immediately organized lot

Biarritz, and the treasure was won by
3 poor little seamstress.

The Fashionable Petticoat.

The silk petticoat of this season is
a multitude of silk frills, tucks, inser-
tions, appliques, quilting, ruchings
and cascades. 1t is as wonderful as a
Florentine mosaic, and as bewilder-
ingly pretty as the tints and the petals
of full blown rose. For street wear
il should in color carry out SOME shade
of trimming in the dress, and if it be
in light tones, such as apple green,
turquoise blue or rose pink, q lattice
work applique of bebe black velvet
ribbon is effective above a narrow
Aounce. This applique also prevents
the dress skirt from rubbing the silk
into holes. A silk petticoat should
not be too long. A petticoat that
touches the ground is not considered
smart. It should, for walking, be
quite three or four inches above the
street. Lace trimmed petticoats, ex-
cept in summer, are out Of place out
Of doors.
For house wear many women prefer
delicate lawn petticoats to silk ones.
Chemise and petticoat in one are very
pretty and much in demand by women
of too ample outlines.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
buying Cheap Fertiiizers.

There is no longer much desire
among well-informed farmers to get
the lowest priced fertilizers with the
idea that these are therefore the cheap.
est. 1t is impossible to cheat nature
All the elements Of fertility, mineral
or nitrogenous, cost money, and II
little money is given for fertilizers,
we can expect but little good to the
crop from them. When we take into
account that much of the expense Of
commercial fertilizers consists in the
cost of distributing them evenly
through the soil, it will be seen that
the highest priced, If also the best,
may be really the cheapest.

Food in nm Eeyptian village.


can Artist Among the Fellaheen"is
the title of an article in the Century,
written and illustrated by r. Talbot
Kelly, the English artist. Mr.. Kelly
says of his daily food in typical
Egyptian village:
We rise early, and a cup of coffee
is always offered, sometimes accom-
panied by piece of bread, or small
cake made of -four mixed with honey
or oil. Somewhere about midday, if
we are within reach, some light food,
such as boiled eggs, bread, and coffee,
is sent to US. In many cases the eggs
are boiled hard, shelled, and served in
a large bowl of oil, and the meal has
the added interest of the endeavor to
catch the slippery morsels as they bob
about in the liquid. The taste for oil
or semna clarified butter) is one that
must be acquired; both are frequently
more or less rancid, and are literally
mixed with almost everything you eat.
At night, from 6 to 8p. M, the only
meal of the day is prepared. 1t is
almost always the same. This con-
sists of little very greasy soup, to
which is added SIENNA, stewed or
boiled mutton, or goats flesh, on q
pyramid of rice, and the ceremonial
dish of riz bill laban (boiled rice and
milk. This last is always good, and
in most cases is the only thing eatable.
Pigeons and turkeys from pleasant
variety when offered; but few hosts
give one the choice, a '1amb or kid of
the fock," being considered more
