 At Lexington there was no American flag, but two months later, at Bunker Hill, there. were several. One was red, bearing only the defiant motto Come if you dare" Another was blue, with white canton quartered by a red St. George Cross and pine tree at the top inner corner.
 At this time Rhode Island had a white flag, bearing a blue cross In the center, and New York likewise flew a white banner with a black beaver
 South Carolina first adopted in 1775, blue flag with a crescent moon In the upper corner next to the staff, but this flag fell into disuse, and the Gadsden flag of yellow, displaying a rattlesnake having thirteen rattles, with the mot to, Do not tread on me-" took its place in 1776, and met with great favor.
 It was really Benjamin Franklin who gave the snake to American heraldry when, In his Philadelphia Gazette in 1754, he pictured the colonies as a snake in thirteen parts, with the legend Unite or die"
 South Carolina, through her dele gate to the Central Congress, adopted the idea, and in 1776 the rattlesnake of the South and the pine tree of the North were united. It was Paul Jones' first flag. He had the green pine tree in the center of a white banner, with

the rattlesnake coiled at It's foot, and the notices An appeal to God" and Don't tread on me-"
 Commodore Esek Hopkins in 1776 also raised the rattlesnake, with the Don't tread on me" motto, but he had the reptile lying across thirteen red and white stripes. Those stripes had come to stay.
 This same snake and motto were on the flag of the Culpeper minute men, with the additional legend Liberty or Death
 Liberty or Death" was a common legend to be seen on many banners. In 1876 it was carried at White Plains on a white flag that bore a naked sword, crossed with a baton carrying a liberty cap.
 While this change in flags was going on the cross of St. George was still seen, and in connection with the thir- teen white and red stripes, that grew rapidly in popularity. The Royal Saw age, on Lake Champlain, in 1776, flew this cross with the thirteen stripes.
 The stars and stripes became more and more common before our flag was adopted in TIT. First the stripes, as In the flags on the Royal Savage and Commodore Hopkins ship. Then came the stars. These were often associated with other emblemS, and particularly the eagle. There was a flag with its thirteen red and white stripes that bore blue field in the middle of its upper half on which was an eagle sur rounded by stars. There was another

put Ln6 sweet uIlSpDllcd peISOH ality of Paloma.
 Both Melba and Campanari ha6 | heard much of the wonderful child musician and they were both inclined to believe that she was simply another prodigy whose ability would become mediocre with the years.
 But after hearing her rl4y they said that they had never heard anything like it and that if she lived, hers would be one of the names that would make | this century memorable.
 "The technique is the least" said Melba, "it is the soul, the delicacy, the intelligence; that is what astounds me, the intelligence with which she inter prets. She is a genius, not a talented prodigy, but a genius
 And when Saloma improvised from the theme which Melba wrote for her the tears rolled down the diva's face and she caught the child in her arms exclaiming:
 Where did you get 1t from, tell me your soul is music itself"
 Mme Melba, like every one else dwelt as much on Paloma's personality as on her genius. For the child is thoroughly natural just sweet hu- man flower of childhood; she has lived in the garden most of the time among the flowers and birds. She is as modest as a wild flower and as refreshing in her simplicity. Fer face, in it's delicate purity, is as responsive to her feelings as her fingers ere to her music. When she talks in her sweet childish way her expression holds you even more than her words. There is something inde- scribably spirituelle about her.
 And little sister Karla is very much like Paloma, o4>y her dimpIes always play hide and seek and the laughing light in her blue eyes never dies out. while Paloma's sometimes grow soft with unshed tears and her face quivers as thou. | with pain that is half sweet. Watch her when she plays Chopin if you would see 1t.
 People are constantly sending her presents of all descriptions, but wise parents allow her to accept as few as possible and keep people from her as much as they can.
 .I am going to talk my letter and have you write it out" Paloma said, "because then people won't see my bad spelling"
 And people don't see the bad spelling, but neither do they see e little girl as she sat on the window sill next to her bird cage, all the delicate contours of her face brought out by the rays of the sun that fell upon her; nor do they hear the voice with which she said her letter; that clear. flute-like voice with it's quaint German as ent, and the unaffected, modest childish way in which she talked the following letter:

 PALOMA
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-08

IA H pupil of M. Pasteur's school l MI has found the mighty microb' l M that makes men and worneI l lose their hair-the little beaS
 who is responsible for the shiny pate o1 l the unfortunate baldhead. He describes 1 it as a minute, colorless body, pointed | at both ends and increasing in num- | bers by constant division into two, an6 since the divisions do not always i'm
 mediately break off, long chains ire
 quently form, each link being a dis tinct microbe.
 The peStiferouS organism congre- gates in colonies of enormous numbers
 in the upper part of the hair follicle
 below the epidermis, and just where the sweat gland joins the foliicle. At this point there is somewhat of an en- largement, and in this little cavity it finds a convenient habitat. Each col ony Is wrapped up into kind of CO., coon by fatty matter from the seba- ceous gland; the cocoons vary in size, and are easy to obtain by squeezing the skin at the mouth of the gland. '
 The mtcrobe of badness has been isolated and grown as a culture on a suitable medium when it appears as a colorless form, changing later into one of brick red hue. But how is 1t that this microbe, not being at the root of the hair, but at some distance above it in the follicle, causes the hair to fall out? It's method of attack Is as fol- lows:
 The development and growth of the microbe causes certain changes in it's environment-the breaking up, for in- stance, of substances around. from which it obtains necessary food and rnla nf brought about gives the production of a substance poisonous to the root of hair. This toxin passes down to the root and acts as a slow poison, not kill ing all at once, but inducing certain characteristic symptoms the hair be- comes lighter in color until it's pigment has practically disappeared, it's diam eter gradually lessens, it becomes brit tie and dried up and eventually dies and falls out.
 The root, though weakened by the poison, sends up another hair to replace the fallen one, but the new outgrowth begins life feebler and poorer than it's predecessor, so it too, only with great CT speed, becomes victim.
 And so the process goes on; each successive growth starts more weakly it's fight against the insinuating poison and more quickly succumbs, until a point is reached where the root can no longer make freSn eHOrt, for 1t has also fallen completely under the nox. ious influence and is killed. This course of events occurring, as it does. simultaneously in hundreds of adja- cent hair follicles, naturally results in complete badness.
 To prove that this microbe is the cause and not merely the accompani- ment of badness, M. Sebourand isolat- ed it and cultivated it in a suitable liquid. After the microbes had multi piled and developed he filtered the i quid through porcelain, and believing that, if his theories were true, the f1I- tered liquid would contain the sub stance they produced poisonous to the hair, he took a rabbit and inoculated 1t deeply under the skin with the fluid. As he hoped, the rabbit speedily began to lose it's fur, and in six weeks it was completely denuded; in fact, it had be- come entirely bald.

ME proudest little lady In the
 land to-day is Miss Anna Dickie,
 daughter of George w. Dickie,
 4 managing director of the Union Iron Works.
 Miss Dickie's pride is quite pardon able, too, for she had the honor of shed ding the first blood for the new navy. IL came about this way.
 When the cruiser Olympia was ready for launching, it was decided that Miss Dickie should act as godmother and christen the ship. There were some re- ligious objections offered by the ultra pious regarding the use of champagne at the ceremony, but this point was finally settled in favor of the wine, with the stipulation that only the na- tive product was to be used.
 Many will remember the excitement created when it was announced that the day had been set and the future pride of the new navy would meet her native element, on November 5, 1892 All San Francisco was anxious to see the spectacle and seats were at a premium Tugs and other small craft had been engaged weeks ahead, all being decked with gay bunting, our national emblem predominating, of course.
 At last the exciting moment arrived. A breathless pause-the sound of ham, mers-and, whiZ, the big vessel swept down to kiss the waters
 As the good ship slid along the ways Miss Dickie raised a bottle of cham pagne and brought it down with a crash over the bows of the vessel Whistles shrieked, cannon boomed and people shouted themselves hoarse. At this juncture smile of fortitude was

of champagne" said Mr. Dickie When my daughter broke the bottle over the ships bow, according to a time-hon- ored maritime custom, particle of the shattered glass cut her finger until it bled profusely. The blood trickled down over the bow and left a small crimson streak along the rail. She did not cry out or faint-she is a San Fran cisco girl-but turned to me with a queer little smile, and exclaimed: See, father! It is a good omen. The first blood for the new navy. Let me make a prophecy. This will be the first ship of the new navy to shed blood for our nations honor.'
