an awe which is somewhat akin to
loathing by all he comes in contact
with. In fact, if it is seen by any of
the lower class of Chinese while he is
walking in the street he is Stunned as if
a leper.
A Chinese execution is a most impress
sive and at the same time grewsome
sight. The criminals are made to kneel
down with their hands tied behind
their backs, and their pigtails are
either he'd in front of them by one of
the assistant executioners or are coiled
on the top of the head, thus leaving the
neck bare for the sword. This sword is
"a long, single-edged blade, slightly
curved like scimiter, and with an
enormous long handle which the execu-
toner grips with both hands.
The criminals are placed on their
knees in a semicircle, and the execu-
toner, starting at one end of the line,
with a slight movement of the wrist
somewhat similar to that employed in
putting" at golf, slices their heads off
one after the other. There is no swing
ing the sword, no taking two strokes;
all is done neatly and expeditiously
and, to all intents and purposes, pain
iessly, so far as the criminal is con-
cerned.

It's color is, of course, purple, as being
the bishops color. It is surrounded on
the right and left by seven bars, the
number seven being the mystical num-
Der of perfection. My chief idea in
having this flag is that it may serve as
an object lesson to all who pass by and
see it.
''It will be unfurled only on special
church days. Those will include all
the chief festivals of the church, saints
days, great ecclesiastical anniversaries,
etc. So that when people see it flying
they will be led to inquire why it has
been raised on that particular day, and
will find out what the festival is, or
what prominent event is commemor-
ated.
''It flies from fine pole over so feet
high, erected at the exterior extremity
of my beautiful little chapel. The har-
mony and effectiveness of the various
colors will be at once acknowledged
by those who see this handsome banner.
'Its size nine feet six inches square.
This shape rather than the oblong was
preferred as being more ancient and
heraldic, and as being more serviceable
in the wind"
The bishop first displayed his flag on
St. Bartholomew day, when it was
swung out to the breeze from the high
pole situated in beautiful Bishopstead,
along the banks of the picturesque
Brandywine creek, at Wilmington,
Del.
Since then it has waved continuously
and has served to attract attention to
the place and to it's occupant. Such
attention has aroused inquiry and de-
yeloped new interest in the organiza-
ton of the church and in it's work and
has undoubtedly served to stimulate
the members of the church to renewed
efforts and endeavors.
Not only this, but it has given them
something tangible to take hold of and
defend. It is the symbol of their work
and represents something real and per-
sonal to every individual churchman.
The natural result is the unifcation
of the membership and more deter
mined and concerted body standing
ready to confront and combat oppose
ton.
There is little doubt that similar
result would be brought about with the
general church if adopted. The same
rule would hold good for it as for the
individual institution.
At any rate, this is Bishop Coleman's
idea. 1t has proven plausible enough
to attract the attention of a number
of other prominent churchmen, with
the result that the plan will be seri-
ously considered. If they decide that
it is practicable it will undoubtedly be
adopted

his own country in 1883, he was re-
turned here as consul general at New
York in 1891. After a brief service in
New York Mr.. Takahira was sent as

1900 men and manufactures daily
100000 boxes of matches. The yearly
output requires 100000 cubic feet of
wood, 100000 pounds of paper and
10000 pounds of rye -four for pasting
the boxes. Three hundred of the most
complete and ingenious pieces Of ma
chinery, all of Swedish invention, are

FLAG FOR CHURCHES
Devised by Bishop Leighton Cole
man of Delaware Diocese.
He Thinks the Followers OF Christ
Should Float an Emblem of Their
Own-Has Some Relation to
National Flag.

Bishop Leighton Coleman, of the
Episcopal diocese of Delaware, is a
churchman of original and progressive
ideas. He is full of resources for the
extension of church work, and the cen
tralization of its interests. His latest
device to advance both purposes is a
project to introduce a general church
flag, about which all forces can rally
and be stimulated to renewed endeay-
ors in the interests of the mutual work.
He has, therefore, adopted suitable
emblem for his own church, and hopes
tosee general flag ultimately chosen,
says the Philadelphia Times.
This is how he views the flag and the
good it will accomplish:
1--WE all know the power of flag.
How it appeals to our better nature,
and bestirs us to a lively remembrance
and to heroic deeds. For ages the state
all over the world has its flag of va
rious hues and designs, according to
race and nationality. Indeed, it is one
of the first things which new govern
ment adopts.
"Why should the church be without
q flag? For some time / have been
thinking over the matter, and at last,
with the valued aid of two friends, who
are experts in heraldry, determined
upon design which has been thor
oughly well executed in bunting by a
widely known Philadelphia firm.
~ wanted something which, while it
had a relation to our national flag,
should have about it something essen
tally ecclesiastical. The cross in the
white field is in shape what is known
as bishops cross, its arms forented.

Japanese women AYE Franz.

When women go to buy a dress in
Japan they tell the shopkeeper their
age and state whether they are mar
ried or single, because there are spe-
cial designs for married women as
well as for different ages. The jap
anese women do not take it amiss that
their ages and relationships are dis
closed to strangers.

Startling Death.

Warner Anderson, laborer at
Lakewood. cemetery, Minneapolis, met
a sudden and unusual death while
riding bicycle.
He was on the street outside the
cemetery, riding fast, and turned to
avoid heavy wagon. In so doing he
ran into buggy, and a, shaft struck
him square in the throat, breaking
the cartilage rings. He died in four
hours.
The name of the woman who was
driving in the buggy could not be
learned, but it is not thought that
she could have avoided the accident.

that during 1899 but forty-fve con-
victs in the reformatory were en-
Ployed in quarrying and cutting

ployed in the shoe department num-
Der 237, out of a total of 1855 EN-

conyicts. The percentage of reforma-
tory labor to the whole is but 2.31.

'Some one has said that there II no
tragedy in nature more horrible than the
murder of beautiful theory by homely
fact. The democratic theory of free trade,
approved by some college professors, sane
toned by John c. Calhoun, Jefferson Davis,
John p. Altgeld Richard Croker, William
J. Bryan and other misguided patriots,
has been horribly butchered by the ruth
less facts Of the prosperous commercial
and Industrial life which has followed in
the wake of the Dingley bill. Shall Mr..
Bryan make the issue Of this campaign?
Will American labor and capital quarrel
with their bread and butter? Will the busy
American people doing business and MAX

the causes of this prosperity to run like
sheep from the imperialfstic spooks OF Mr..
Bryan's imagination? Shall American la

Is the paramount issue. But he said In the
