The largest collection of battlefags
is in the State House at Hartford, ct.
One of the largest flags ever flung
to the breeze WIS unfurled Grant day,
April 27, 1897, near the tomb. 1t is to
remain until torn to tatters by the
elements, when duplicate will take
its place.
A New York flag g-maker has recently
sent two large flags to South Africa.
They were ordered by Americans liv-
ing there.
The flag lockers Of cruiser, like the
New York, contain varied assort-
ment of flags-more than 200 different
designs, aud seven different sizes.
The President of the United States,
who is at the head of the army and
navy, is entitled to the first ranking"
flag in the country.
The Presidents flag is spread eagle
the national coat of arms-mounted
on blue field surmounted by curved
row of thirteen stars. 1t is i've feet
six inches long, by four feet four inches
wide. 1t is made of the finest quality
of seamless silk, and is trimmed with
yellow fringe.
In 1896, when the Ancient and Hon.
orable Artillery of Boston, the Oldest
American body, visited England, COL
Bradley, the commander, and the Duke
Of Connaught we're photographed to-
gether az Aldershot, beneath the Stars
and Stripes-the only occasion where
an English royalty posed under "Old
Glory"
In London, at the Qneen's diamond
jubilee, 1897, from a thousand staff;
fioated the Stars and Stripes, and the
American shield was repeated regularly
around the decorated walls Of st. Paul's
and, indeed, everywhere through the
city.
| FLAG REVERENCE.
Until within few years the nationa
colors at military posts were pulled
down unceremoniously at sunset, i'm
mediately after the firing of the sunse
gun. Now its descent is marked witt
dignity and decorum; after the firing
of the gun, the band plays the "StaI
Spangled Banner" and the flag is
lowered slowly. 1t must not touch tht
ground until the last chord of the ma
tional anthem is sounded. To mak'
the scene more impressive, every ONE
within hearing distance stands while
the band is playing, and the men dOf
their hats. The iag-lowering cere
mony is one Of the most impressive
seen at West Point.
The American flag has passed
through more vicissitudes than the fat
of any other nation. 1t has undergone
six almost radical changes from tht
day of its creation, irrespective of th'
frequent additions of stars on the ad
mission of new States. For ever,
change in the national colors there ha
been a war-with Great Britain ii
1776, France in 1898, Tripoli in 1903
Great Britain in 1872, Algiers In 1916
Mexico in 1916, and the civil war
The present war with Spain makes tn
seventh actual war with a foreig
country, in which the American la
has been flown, and it has never see
defeat.

De Niusset and Balzac, though Balzac
was not great success as playwright" !"
The question Of ''The Ambassador" is
Ought one to cancel an engagement to
avoid a possibly unhappy marriage ?"
Mrs. Craigie's answer is, OF course, that
that is just what ought to be done.
Entirely fresh ground has been broken
by Mr.. Louis Parker and Mr. Murray
Carson in their lusty comedy, "The Ter
magant," the completed four acts of
which were read to Miss Olga Nethersoe
recently. In atmosphere, in scene and in
the conduct or their Castilian romance,
the authors Of Rosemary" have gone
further afeld than is usual with modern
dramatists. The close Of the fifteenth
century is the period Of their latest essay
in romance, and the court of the Prin-
cess Beatrix Of Arragon its scene.
Naughty, imperious, capricious, she in
spires scarce less Of dread than love.
Every whim must be gratifed, every
command obeyed. The mere coupling
by the peoples tongue Of her name with
that Of the lord Of the lands which ad-
join her own was an offence for which
he must be banished. And through her
influence, this unknown offender,
Roderigo Of Triana, was despatched with
Columbus on his voyage Of discovery.
With the return OF this weather-worn
adventurer and his henchman, full Of
strange oaths and oddities, as that i'm
mortal man-at-arms, Sancho. or Charles
Reade's Denis, and their intrusion upon
the courtly life OF the luxurious Prin-
cess, the comedy begins, and its sue
ceeding scenes are occupied with the
mutual subjugatlon Of Roderigo and
Beatrix, two equally resolute and gallant
spirits. and the disasters which newt
ably follow hard upon.

TEN-CENT DUTY ON TEA.
New York Importers Seem to Think
it Good Idea.

New York tea importers say that ii the
Government needs $l0,0CO,O0O to help
carry on the war the money can be
raised in no more simple way than by
putting duty Of l0cents pound an tea,
as is proproposed by Senator Tillman's
amendment to the War Revenue bill.
South Carolina by the way, grows tea
the output is 100000 of the country's
consllmption-bu no one accuses the
Carolina Senator of a desire to protect
this infant industry at the expense of
millions of Americans who have never
heard Of Carolina tea, and pr, badly never
will.
The importers estimate that we will
import this year about a hundred
million pounds of tea. Japan sending
us 5000 ,00OO China 27,00O0O0, For
mosa ls,0O0,000, and India and Ceylon
l2,O0O,O0O Last year the import was
ll3,00O. 600 ponnrs, an increase Of nearly
10000, 600 over the 1896 import, despite
the fact that new law had gone into
effect, shutting out of the country mil
lions OF pounds of tea below fixed
standard. The average cost abroad of
the tea imported here last year was l3
cents pound. The import of coffee
was 73S,0O0,O00 pounds, the average
value being trifle more than | | cents
pound.
The japanese Minister at Washington
makes this argument in his formal pro-
test against the evying of II duty on tea.
The importers, he says, have discounted
the duty" and will have such large
amount of tea on hand before July |, the
day when the War Revenue bill will be-
come II law, that little will be imported
duting the year, and the Government
will not receive the expected revenue.
II this were po sible, Japan would not be
affected by the duty, and all the Minis
ter's arguments against the duty would
be uncalIed for But the market condi-
tions are the reverse.
The amount OF last years tea crop left
over in this country was unusually small
and the total import of the new crop will
not reach l5,0O0O00 pounds before the
end of this month. A duty on tea would
affect nearly the entire import Of the
year. The tea season opens in April and
The shipments begin in May. The inn
port is about the same month by month.
in anticipation Of the proposed
luty, the cost of tea in the foreign mar
ket has gone down, and here, in tho
market, it has gone up. The
-etail trade is not affected. Manv inn
porters and jobbers believe the duty
would have little effect on the price to
he consumer.

what his shots are doing, and individual
supervision becomes impossible; the re.
suit is, man comes mp to his gun, blazes
away his ten rounds or SO with fixed
sight, which is prdbaBly wrong, and de.
parts as wise as he started.
III the Admiralty and admirals in.
specting paid any attention to the gun
merry efficiency of the ships in commits.
sion they would compel the captains and
officers to develop that efficiency to the
utmost in their power, and establish a
healthy rivalry. AT present in the Med
iterraneaD far more trouble and time are
expended on filing the chase of gun
bright and furnishing it (Which is abso-
lutely contrary to regulations) than to
insuring that the men are well trained in
the use OF it.
These criticisms are severe enough,
but the officer quoted goes even further.
He declares that returns of the practice
at the targets are Judged or, in other
words, the figures are given as first class
when in reality the practice has been
abominable, thus deceiving the Ad-
mlrality officials and giving the British
publice an entirely erroneous idea Of the
skill OF their seamen gunners.
1t would be thought that such a sug-
gestion as that crews sent out to practice
with small guns at points distant from
the ship throw the ammunition over
board to save them the trouble Of firing
it, and leturn to the ship with the report
that SO many points had been made.
would not be put forward in sober
earnest, but a writer actually states
gravely that 'he does not think this is
done now," but he goes On to say that
the ammunition might almost as we'll be
thrown overheard as used in the way it
is for practice in the royal navy today.
To sum up the matter in the language
Of the expert referred to, after reviewing
the recent great victory at Manila. he
says:
'It cannot be denied that the ship
that gets in the first hit stands so per
cent. better chance of winning the action
than when she started; ship that cou,i
make certain of 30 per cent. hits under
ordinary conditions of weather at a
range OF $500 yards and inside, could
cheerfully engage three mobilized vessels
with scratch crews"
This is SO impressive summing up
that John Bull may we'll stand aghast
as he peruses the statements OF those
who are in a position to know concern
ing the woful inexperience Of his naval
gunners.
