~OIa Glory. Must &c 10 the TOP ef
the Mast Every Tihe and All
Else Below.

1t isn't everybody who knows how to
throw the American col0rs to the
breezes. says writer in the Philadel-
phia Record. Flag raisings are every
day occurrences, but there are few
people among those in charge, be they
ever SO patriotic, who are cognizant OF
the fact that Old Glory tops everything
in the American possessions, and must
never 20 below under any circum-
stances. At many of the dag raisings
there are pennants unfolded on the
same poles. and generally the mistake
of placing the pennant at the top, over
the flag, is made. This is very irritat-
ing to the regular navy men, who re-
gard such an act in their ranks ASIDE
serving of dismissal. Anumber Of the
officers stationed at League island navy
yard have time and again had the flag
given its proper placeson poles in va
rious parts of the city, especially over
schoolhouses downtown. On last Dec
oration day there was . nag raising
over the Matthew W. Baldwin sch6ol.
Sixteenth and Porter streets, and the
pennant.- which contained the school,
name, was placed at the top of the
pole. Word came from League island
that the country's eolors should be put
at the top. and the error was immedi-
etely corrected. Recently the same
mistake was made at National park, on
the Delaware river. The irritating
sight was seen from League island.
and : messenger was dispatched in
boat to have the positions of the nag
and p<nnAnt reversed.

to be decided without reflection, par
ticularly by people who believe in char

been made to foist upon them q re-
igion which they do not want? If
they resort to mob violence, are they
not doing exactly what your own peo-
pie do when they are wrought to frenzy
upon the subject of religion?"
If we consider all of the doctrines
and graces of our accepted religions,
and admit that ''the greatest of these
is charity" we must admit the force
of these observations. We must hesi-
tate to assume that I'VE know it al"
and that others created like unto our
selves have been ignored by their Gre
ator. We must admit that they have
as much right, according to their
lights, to believe that Confucius, their
great teacher, was inspired and spoke
as one having authority, as we have to
believe in the teacher who has sent
unto us us one speaking by authority.
Christian charity must compel us to
admit this much, even though we are
saturated with the belief that they are
wrong, and that they will ultimately
see the light as we have been taught to
ser it.
The reference 70 the persecution Of
Salvation Army and Mormon people
pertinently leads us to wonder what
cur people would do II they saw mis-
sionaries coming to their homes and
taking the children away to lead them
to believe that Buddha or Confucius
alone gave the whole truth concerning
the emancipation, elevation and saliva,
tion of the soul.
Conversation with the learned men
OF the orient leads up to the proposi-
fion that we must charitably consider

which is as wen adapted to their quail

in South Washington a young white
girl was brutally beaten and killed
by a negro; and ON the following Mon
day morning, in an alley on the same
block where the church stands, moth
er took strap and beat her child al

for the interference of others. There
are many thoughtful men and women
who believe that home missionaries
are needed all over this Christian land.
and that they are needed more than
foreign missionaries.
Missionaries are unfortunately the
advance guards of the civilization OF
pelf; the unconscious and innocent
agents of merchants and kings, who
seek not the salvation Of souls, but
the acquisition of wealth and terri
tory. Great Britain produces opium in
India, sends it to China, and with the
pulp of the poppy she destroys the
body and brain of the Chinaman; she
follows her drug with large consign-
ments of missionaries. Other nations
pursue the same course, knowing that
ultimately the missionaries will be
sacrificed. Then. for the sake of 1.-THE

This is the Chinaman's side of the
story. Is it not worthy consideration,

THE HINKsEY DIGcERs.
Finest VnderKraduates Of Oxford
UnivePsfty Under John Rus
kfn's Leadership.


"The Hinksey Diggers" sounds not
unlike the nomenclature of modern
baseball teams, and was, indeed, the
literal title of memorable group of
college athletes. So far, however.
from being characterized by tousled
hair and turbulent manners, as the
name might suggest, the Hinksey Dig
gers numbered some of the finest un-
dergraduates of Oxford university, un-
der the captaincysof John Rnskin him
self. says Youth's-Cmpaniun.
In 1873 the great art lecturer let
fall some words about the aimlessness
of Oxford sports. he could not but
believe that the. same training of
muscles might be turned to. better ac-
count in some work Of local or ma
tional benevolence. The idea cap
tured- the students fancy. and Rus
kin was urged to embody it in .
working plan- II g1as.
A neighboring village Of Hinksey
was inhabited by very poor people.
The single road was 50 full of ruts,
depressions and. rubbish. that carts
avoided it and worked their individ-
ual way over the tiny village green,
which was thus spoiled both as park
and a playground The question
came: Would the undergraduates
volunteer to mend this road?
Sixty men having done so, Prof.
Ruskin supplied picks, spades and
shovels. and brought down his own
gardener to superintend the digging.
Drains were scientifically laid, hol-
lows filed, banks turfed and planted,
and native ferns and mosses con-
served For months the master him
self. in blue coat and Sear-tabbed blue
cap, worked gayly with his boyish ad-
herents-some representing the proud
est families of England-by the road

his life to save two servants, ath-
letics in their age have played many
parts. Rightfully apprehended, they
are sinews of war and of peace, of

sey digging will probably never be
repeated, but its principle = that
