WHERE FLAGS ARE MADE.
a Large Mandatory at she New York
Navy Yard.

Large Mandatory at the Now York
Navy Yard.
In the equipment bulldog of the
New York navy yard there is large
mandatory, where most of the hags
of our navy are made. A large vessel
carries forty American flags, and
smaller vessel almost as many. This
does not include the feet and interna-
tional signal flags, and the flags OF oth-
or countries. There are three rooms
in the equipment building that are CIV
en- up to flag making. One of these is
very large, and the others at either
end are much smaller. There are sew
ing machines, scissors, pincushions
and fiatirons scattered around, SO that
the place does not look unlike pa
triotic dressmaker's establishment.
The flags are all made by women,
though few men help to cut out the
stars and do the finishing. The wind
Gad weather destroy flags SO fast. and
new vessels are put into commission
so rapidly, that it is necessary to en-
ploy a number of people even in time
OF peace. The working hours, during
lie idle war, were eAleuueu lIOLh
o'clock IN the morning to o'clock In
the evening. In one week eighteen
hundred flags were made at the md
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 nationality.
There is a pattern for every flag. AID
the patterns are put away in paper
bags when not in use. There are for
ty-four flags in a set OF general Sig
nails used in the navy. These are in
three sizes, while the regular flag Is
made In nine sizes. The largest flag
measures thirty-six feet long. while
the smallest is only thirty inches
Pennants are made up to seventy feet
long. There are nineteen interna-
tional signal flags and forty-three for
eign flags. which are made at the navy
yard.-Scientific American.

Fifty girl students have this year en-
tered upon a full scientific course OF
farming at the Agricultural College in
Minneapolis. Heretofore the oppor-
tunities afforded girls for study were
confined to the few weeks of summer
vacation allotted to the male students,
but this year, as in others to come,
one may assume they are to enjoy full
privileges with the men. 1t is suppos-
ed, IL the experiment proves success
full, that other states may be induced
to follow the example set by Mime
sofa. and that henceforth farm life
may present such unwonted attrac-
tions to farmer lads as to induce them
to stay at home.

this is the case, that he overestimates

that "the secretary Of agriculture,

articles dangerous to the health oil the
people of the United States are being

make request upon the secretary OF
the treasury for samples from the

the purpose mentioned, giving notice
to the owner or consignee, who may
