The Flag of Betsy Ross,

The first flag made for the Continen.
tai Congress was the handiwork ol
Miss Betsy Ross, of Philadelphia. II
was on August 3, 1777, that it was
first raised over Fort Schuyler, neal
Rome, in this State. Paul Jones, who
used to have the rattlesnake flag, was
the first to show it to a foreign Nation
when he unfurled it in France.
On June IA, 1777, the Continental
Congress adopted this resolution:
Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen United Statee be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; that
the Union be thirteen stars il blue
field, representing the new constella-
tion."
1t was this flag, not officially born
yet, but substantially the same, with
which Perry inspired his gallant crew
on the deck of the Lawrence, as he
waved it in his arms before the battle
of Lake Erie began and pointed to the
words of Captain lawrence, blazoned
across its folds: Don't give up the
ship" And they didn't. The British
did that. The victory saved the great
Northwest to the Union.-New York

From the Gazette, BidndinsuiiLe, III,
The wife OF the Rev. A. r. Adams, pastor
of the Bedford Christian Church at Bland
insville, Ill.,, was for years compelled to
live a life OF torture from disease. Her
case bafIled the physicians, but to-day she
is alive and well, and tells the story OF her
recovery as follows:
"About six years ago." said Mrs. Adams,
81 weighed about 140 pounds, but my
health began to fail and I lost flesh. My
food did not agree with me and felt like a
stone in my stomach. l began to bloat all
over until l thought had dropsy.
II had pains and soreness in my left side
which extended clear across my back and
also into the region OF my heart. During
these spells hard ridge would appear in
the left side OF my stomach and around
the left side.
"These attacks left me sore and exhaust
ed. All last summer was so nervous that
the children laughing and playing nearly
drove me wild. l suffered also IRON female
troubles and doctored with ten different
physicians without receiving any help.

An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an eflica-
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. AS a result he has
brought out and patented pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most VIC
ious dog cannot withstand few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and
yet there is no danger of actually in
juring valuable animal which might

has proved so much of a success as a

White lawns with forget-me-nots and
small figures are among the pretty
summer dress patterns.
Large punches of violets tied with
bow knots form one of the pretty de.
signs seen in wash goods.
Black dotted Swiss gowns are made
up over color and trimmed with rows
and rows of black lace insertion.
The Empire tortoise-shell comb, sci
in below the knot of hair at the back,
is o useful as we'll as ornamental ad.
junct.
A French gown of blue is enlivened
with touch of burnt orange, and the
hat to lie worn with it is of gray
trimmed with orange velvet.
A pretty bit of dainty underwear is
short chemise of the finest crepe de
chine, finished around the neck with
lace-trimmed frill of finest white
lawn.
Several dresses have been finished
with yokes of solid embroidery and
braid. If these are at all of open
design they ere lined with bright satin
or silk.
Some of the new round hats OF
Spanish yellow braid are trimmed with
nothing but black ostrich plumes, black
velvet ribbon and black poppies with
yellow hearts,
The regulation caps is made so as
to stand out from the shoulders like a
rain-shed, "the more flare the more
fashion" seeming to be the idea in
their making up.
The latest silk shirt waists are
corded; in fact, everything corded is
the rage, the cords ranging in size
from common wrapping twine to the
size of ones finger.
Yellow vies with blue for prominen
in millinery. Yellow flowers, yellow
tulle, chiffon and yellow straw are
brilliantly conspicuous, besides all the
warm tints of burnt orange.
Braided black nets, with tiny frills
of gauze ribbon between the bayadere
patterns, are very popular material
for the transparent gown which is a
fashionable necessity this season.
Shoes are less pointed than hereto
fore. Heels are rather low and broad,
and the moderately heavy walking
shoe has become one of the indis-
pensable articles of every lady's outfit.
The pretty and picturesque neck
and shoulder effects, and the new way
of adjusting the fronts, render the
very fashionable princesse dress one
of the most attractive models of the
season.
Hats are remarkable for the absence
of ribbon in their trimming. Soft
materials, either plain or figured, are
preferred, and these are used in puffs,
loops, rolls and large soft bows and
rosettes.
For outdoor wear tan shoes with
the short tan socks are wqrn,by little
children; while for indoors, either
black or colored shoes with stockings
to match. Shoes are used much more
than slippers, as they are supposed to
be better for the ankles.

Cutting Children,s Hair.

The best authorities on the hair
say that a child's hair should not be
cut until it is four or five years OF
age. 1t should be kept cut after this
until the child is about fourteen.
After this little girls hair should be
allowed to grow long. 1t should be
trimmed at the tips, however, or
burned off monthly to keep it even
and the hairs from splitting at the
end. Do not wash the hair too often
unless it is very oily. In that case
wash it often to remove the excess OF
oil. Dry hair that is inclined to come
out should be kept clean by daily
use of the brush applied vigorously to
the scalp. 1t should not be washed
oftener than once in six weeks.

Women students I'm GERMANY.

''I think the hatred of the educated
woman grows more savage every day, ="
writes young American girl studying
in Germany. 'The women clamoring
for admittance to lectures and lessons
are mostly Americans and Germans,
and only great deal of pluck prevents
the former from throwing up their
studies and running away, so bitter
are their experiences sometimes, ow-
ing to their double crime of being wo-
men and being foreigners. Some great
and stirring lights of the University,
such as Virchow and Leyden, have
spoken up bravely in favor of the ma
circulation of women, but the lesser

they seek. Thus, on the door of a

A Cheerful Sitting Room.

A bright Vassar girl has invented a
simple way of making a sitting room
seem cheerful. 1t consists in putting
thin coat of pink varnish upon the
glass of the windows, or, where it is
feasible, of using the lightest colored
pink glass for the purpose. No mat
ter what the weather is outside, it
always looks cozy and comfortable
within. In her house she has what
she calls the cabinet of horrors, and the
uncanny atmosphere of the place is
produced by similar use of a light
blush glass. Where small amount
of color is used the eye does not no.

affected by it, pink light causing a

humber flowers grew at her bidding,
and it became a great pleasure to her
to see her friends delight in her gar
den. No caller ever left with hands
empty of flowers.
At first this was all she did with her
flowers except to use them inside her
home, but gradually she fell into the
way of sending them to the sick
among her neighbors. Many weary
invalid was refreshed with the sweet
ness of roses or the perfume of carna.

of violets. Children, going home
from school, loved the common,
bright-hued flowers she gave them
ragged-robins, snapdragons, sweet
williams, marigolds, poppies, nastur.
tiums, and geraniums.
One day she missed her car into
the city, and while waiting for the
next one sauntered, gloves in hand,
about her glowing garden. For pure
love of them she gathered bunch OF
crimson carnations, and carried them
with her into the horse-car.
Something sweet to SMELL" she
thought. When her shopping was
done she caught saleswoman's eyes
bent wistfully upon the glowing bios.
SONS, and she gave them to her. II
was revelation to her to see the flash
of pleasure which lit up the tired face.
"Oh, thank you," was all the delighted
girl said, but her happy face expressed
far more than was conveyed in her
words.
From that day to this that woman
has never taken the car into the city
without a bunch of flowers in hei
hand, and some one who needs them
always gets them. Sometimes it is q
crippled boy, whom she chances to
meet on the street; sometimes tired
faced woman, with her heavy baske OF
of clothes; and often it is a sales.
woman, worn and weary with long
hours of standing.
All cannot gather flowers every day
in the year, but she who has even q
few flowers can do much in a quie,
way. A bunch of violets or pansies,

and kind word; few sprays of roses

To Be Short or TaIIY

1t is e curious fact that the majority
OF men do not seem to be attracted by
tall girls. We wonder why? asks an
English :ritic. Perhaps, remarks the
Chicago News, it is men are so accus-
toned to be looked up to-at all events
by tho fair sex-that it is only natural
for them to prefer the girl who, in her
little caressings and fascinating lover
like ways, has, on account of her short
ness, to>look up at him for the purpose
,f peering into his lovelit eyes. But
very short women can only sound the
note OF forlorn condition, unfortu-
nately, for fussy, modern man, taking
him in the abstract, passes her over
and lets his choice fall upon her COM
paratively taller sister, The superia-
lively tall woman and the positively
short woman the average man leaves
severely alone.
Tall women are usually dignified
and would appear to scorn kittenish
ways, and although they manage to
draw admiration, it is rather of the
awe inspiring kind. No doubt, owing
to their smallness of stature and pretty,
playful ways, men give to little women
more petting than the tall, dignified
woman demands. The lovers oft re-
peated expression, "You little darl-
ing" could hardly be applied to the
very tall girl without tickling the risi-
bilities of those who overheard it.
This is certainly very hard, and looks
like a punishment for being tall, but
who can help her stature? And it is
q fact, too, that men are rather shy
about approaching tall women, because
of restraint which they feel but cannot
explain. They are under the impress
sion-why it's hard to tell-that tall
women are built to be commanders,
and that they are in their natural ele-
ment when left alone in their reserved
dignity and musings in their lonely
wanderings.
