CARING FOR THE FLAG.
Some Valuable Suggestions From Lieu
tenant in the Navy.

Some Valuable Suggestions From Lieu
tenant in the Navy.
Flags, in a certain way are a coun-
try's clothes, which it puts on in the
morning and lays aside at night. This
we see in symbolic pictures, where
Uncle SAM representing United States,
Is dressed in the Stars and Stripes,
and John Bull, representing Great Bri-
tain, wears the Union Jack for waist
coat. A flag should, therefore, be laid
aside as neatly as a valued garment,
and when used it should be handled so
as not to be solled or torn.
A flag, properly made, has a light
canvas binding along its holsting edge,
through which runs a piece Of small
rope. At the top Of the binding the
rope has a toggle, while about fathom
hangs out at the bottom and is called
the blending line" The name and
size of the flag are stencilled on one
side of the binding near the toggle.
To make up the flag, fold it length
wise, with the name outside, two or
more times, until 1t is in a strip about
a foot wide. Lay the strip name-side
downward; take up the end farthest
from the binding and fold the strip
down back and forth two or three
times, each fold on top of the pre-
cedng, the last fold being thus toward
the binding.
Then rool the flag up to the binding;
take one tight turn around the bundle
with the bending line Tor two turns if

clnthes.

From that time on everything he
does and everything he has that costs
money becomes a matter of bookkeep-
ing. He is charged $267 per month
for policing the academy grounds; $1.36
is deducted monthly from his allow
ance for the support of the hospital;
the gas that he uses in his room has
to be paid for just as ii he were a
householder in the city, and he is eve
charged twenty-five cents for the no
tarial fee when he takes an oath of
allegiance to support the Constitution
Of the United States. He is charged
for cleaning and scrubbing his quar-
S9rs Just as If they were tented by the
month in an ordinary Office building,
and If any of the furniture or the fix
lures or the building suffer damage he
is required to pay Cor it.
There is, Of course, e reason for all
this. People do not invent trouble
without some motive, and no doubt
the commendable purpose Of the Off
cial who invented this system OF
charges was to teach care and econ
omy to the cadets. Whatever is left
from the salary of a cadet after charg-
ing him with all these items remains
to his credit and is paid to him when
ever he goes on a furlOugh or when he
graduates, which is, of course, an in
ducement for him to be as careful as
possible in his expenditures. Further
more, the knowledge that everything
that is broken or injured is charged
against him makes him careful of Gov
ernment property. For example, a
cadet is required to pay for all the
stationery and soap that is issued to
him. is dipper and his broom cost
twenty cents each, and, although these
are small items, it is probable that
many cadets take better care of their
dippers and their brooms and are more
economical in the use of their station
cry than they would be if such sup
plies were a free gift of the Govern
ment
Last year it cost each cadet fifty
three cents per day for his board, and
they are fed very we'll for that money.
Some of the cadets are so careless
and eXtravagant in spending their al-
lowance that when the time comes
for them to take furlorgh they have
to appeal to their friends for money
to pay their railroad fare and buy
them citizens clothing to wear during
their vacation.-Chicago Record.

all the arabic land. Mr.. Atlinson's
suggestion. which is uique at least, is
that the world famine is likely to come

through the using up of the potash in
the soil, and the consequent failure
Of the land to produce food crops.

They have queer, old-fashione''
"regular.army way" at West Point Of
keeping the finances Of the cadets,
which seems to have been invented
with view Of increasing the labor of
the treasury and involving the boys
in red tape. Each cadet receives n
salary of $40 n year, and that amount
is put to his credit in installments Of
$40 Il month. lie is popularly supposed
to provide his clothing, pay his mess
bill and oth0r necessary personal eX-
penses from this allowance, but on the
day he arrives at the academy the first
charge made against him is sixty cents
for book. in which his accounts are
kept. Then on the first day Of his
cadet life he draws from the quarter

are charged to his account:
