Where Flags are Made.

In the Equipment building at the
New York navy yard there is large
mandatory where most of the flags of
our navy are made. A large vessel ear
ries forty American flags, and smaller
vessel almost as many. This does not
include the fleet and international sig
nal flags, and the flags of other eoun-
tries
There are three rooms ia the Equip
ment building that are given up TO flag
making. One of these Is very large,
and the others at either end are much
smaller. There are sewing machines,
scissors, pineushiOns and fiatirons scat
tered around, so that the place does not
look unlike patriotic dressmaker's es-
adjustment The flags are all made
by women, though few men help to
cut out the stars aud do the finishing.
The wind and weather destroy flags So
fast. and new vessels are put into COM
mission so rapidly, that is necessary to
employ a number of people even in
time of peace.
The working hours, during the late
war, were extended from oieloek in
the morning TO o'clock in the even
ing. In one week 1900 flags were
made at the flag department, and this
was when the rush Of work was about
over. The women cut all the square
flags and the devices for them. The
men cut the stars and bias pennants,
and put on the finishing touches and
the heading through which the rope
runs They also put in the rope, and
stencil the flag with the size and ma
tionality.
There is pattern for every flag, and
the patterns are put away in paper bags
when not in use. There are a flags in
set Of general signals used in the
navy. These are in three sizes, while
the regular flag is made in nine sizSs-
The largest flag measures SO feet long,
while the smallest is only 30 inches.
Pennants are made up to 20 feet long.
There are 10 international signal flags
and 4S foreign flags. which are made at
the navy ward

She Spanked Dspsw.

There was buried in WOIeott, n. Y.
to-day an old woman whose proud
boast it had been, in her late years, that
she was the only person. aside from
his parents, who ever administered a
sound spanking to toSeDator-elect Chaun-
cey Mitchell Dspew. She was Cath
crime Curtis Westrall- Bissell. In young
womanhoOd she was a spinner and
weaver, going about from house to
house among her patrons and prepar-
ing their hOmespln cloth. Ampng her
employers were the parents of the fu-
ture senator, says the New York Press
Discovering that he could make her
no end of trouble by tangling the
threads in the loom, now and then
breaking one, and snarling the ball Of
tow or wool from which she spun,
young Chauncey devoted every instant
when her back was turned to those con
genial tasks She bore it with patience
till one day the y 'ungsters's mother
CHANGED to enter the room and caught
him red-banded at his mischief. Upon
learning the situation she chastised
young Chauncey, and told Mrs. West
fall to punish him herself, if he again
offended.
Chauneey soon again began his dep
relations. Twice Mrs. Westfall warn
ed aim, and then she spanked. But
it was too mild form of punishment
to subdue the youth, who merely grin
ned and kept on. Then the long suf-
fering young woman lost patience.
Ssizing Chauneey firmly, she turned
him across her knee, and spanked him
long and hard. His hOwls could be
heard AL over the house, but they
brought no suecor, nor did he get
sympathy from any one.
Escaping from her grasp, he fled
down stairs, and remained away from
the garnet for two days. Then, timidIy
thrusting his head inside the door, he
begged permission TO enter, promising
never again to offend This promise
he kept as well as he was able, for,
though his subsequent pranks we're
many and annoying, he did not ven
ture after that to interfere with either
spinning wheels or loom.

Depsw and the Deaf Man.

There Is a man in Buffalo who can
never hope to get on good terms with
Chauncey NJ. Depew. Once they were
friends. To-day Mr.. Depew looks upon
the Buffalo man with contempt The
manner Of their arrangement israther
interesting.
OF course it happened at q dinner.
Dinners are responsible for nearly all
things that happen to Chauneey. Mr..
Depew had been called upon for a
speech, and he responded by telling
story.
Senator Evarts," said the great IA
contour, bought q farm up in Yer
mont recently, and took his family
there to spend the summer. Mr.. Ev-
arts managed to visit the folks about
once a week, but business made it nee
essary for him to live in New York.
Among the appurtenanees appertain-
ing to the farm was a donkey, which
soon became a great pet with the young
folks.
''Not long ago Mr.. Eyarts was start
led by the receipt Of telegram from
home. It was from his youngest daugh-
ter. Dear papa, she said, something
ails the donkey. I'm afraid he's sick.
He keeps hee-hawing all the time and
seems to be very lonesome. Please
cjme home'"
After the laughter which followed
Mr.. Depew's recital had subsidized, the
Buffalo man got up and said:
THAT, as Abraham Lincoln used to
say, reminds me Of 8 story which !
heard some years ago. Senator Evarts
had bought farm down in Vermont
aud took his family there TO spend the
summer. Among the apPurtenances
appertaining to the place was dom
key, which soon became great pet"
The guests smiled broadly as he be-
gan, and when he had finished the
same story that had been told by Mr.
Depew they applauded aud declared
that it was a good joke. But Chaun-
cey, according to the statement Of one
who relates the incident, felt that he
had been insulted, and when he was re-
minded that the Buffalo man was as
deaf as a post aud hadn't heard a word
that had been said, the gentleman who
has been chosen to help represent New
York in the Senate only seemed to feel
more aggrieved. The Buffalo man had
no business to be deaf, and that is why
he and Mr.. Depew can never te friends
again.

The San Jose Scale.

The San Jose scale was first discov-
cred by Professor J. II. Comstoek, near
San Jose, Cal, in 1879. 1t has been
found in various parts Of the world,
and, while the place OF its origin has
not yet been aseertained. it was conjec-
tured to be Japan Six years ago it was
discovered in the Eastern States, where
it was introduced six years before with
some infected plum trees from Califor-
mia. These plums were brought over
for the purpose Of obtaining an impr0v-
ed fruit which should be proof against
the attacks OF the plum weevil, and,
strangely enough, this laudable object
proved the means of infiicting a much
worse pest on the Eastern States. The
scale has now found its way into thir-
ty-three Stltas, besides Canada and

Rewarded for His Honesty.

An English farm labofer recently
went to small store kept by an old
woman and asked for "a pahDd o. ba-
con-"
She produced the bacon ard cut q
piece of, but could not find the pound
weight.
"Oh, never mind . pahnd weight, {"
said he. ''Ma fist just weighs a pahnd.
So pat ther bacon i q scales"
The woman confidently placed the
bacon into one side Of the scales while
the man put his fist into the other side,
aud, Of course, took good care TO have
good weight.
While the woman was wrapping the
bacon up the pound weight was found,
and, on seeing it, the man said:
"Nah, you see If my fist don't just
weigh pahnd."
The pound weight was accordingly
put into one scale and the mans fist
into the other, this time only just to
balance.
The old woman, on seeing this, said /:

Il may surprise many persons to
learn that monkeys, despite their clever
ness, are not enduringly susceptible TO
the influences Of shigheE education"
for infinite is their innate depravity.
I found them ready enough 70 learn,
bat persistent In refusal to display their
knowledge when required to do 50 by
their patient teacher. This peculiar
side of monkey naturs wa foTeibly
Impressed on me when tried to form
an orchestra. OF string band. among the
simiaBs Of my menagerie.
We were IN winter quarters, and rs IL
was my custom TO devote my spare time
during the cold term to tanning aud
training wild animals tos the next
season, had family Of MONKEYS con-
fined in an apartment adjoining my
reading, smoking and music room.
One morning upon entering the cot
tage my ears were greeted by the SQUAD
OF my cello. paused, wondering
what visitor had provoked my rich
toned instrument to such unseemly dis
cord. Then approached closely and
through window saw a laughable
scene.
Seated upon a chair, with a smoking
cap on his head, spectacles on his nose
and meerschanm pipe in his mouth,
was Joe, the largest monkey OF the
menagerie, saving away at the cello
with bow in hand. Several Of the
smaller monkeys were in postures Of
surprise and delight at Joe's perform
ance. had omitted to lock the door
Of the monkey room, aud that account
ed for the intrusion on my sanetum.
Highly entertained, / stood for
time silent spectator, until seen by
little monkey, which notified its fell
lows Of MY presence with sharp cry.
In, twinkliEg the animals dashed
from the room, Joe, minus cap. spec
tacles and pipe, bringing up the rear
and carefully closing the door behind
him.
Upon entering the house found al
the monkeys safely enseOneed in their
proper room and looking as innocent
as lambs, while the old ringieader was
snoring and apparently sound asleep.
From this occurrence the idea Of trying
TO form an orchestra Of monkeys came
into my mind, for l well knew that
such troupe, even il it produced any
thing but melody, would be a strong
attraction. Youths Companion.
