The Making of the Flags
BY Emma Huntington Mason.
A blaze OF color. Ike sun-lit wine:
A field Of blue. where the white stars
shine,
A stream OF glory for ships at sea;
A fash OF hope where the armies be:
A banner upheld through gain or loss;
This was the vision of Betsy Ross.
Alone she sat In the silent room.
A matron fair In her youthful bloom;
Her eyes were aIight. her cheeks
aglow,
As she stitched the eolors. row on row.
Seven stripes of red. with the white
between.
Tin the red and white had made thir-
teen.
For the field. as blue as the deep blue
tide
When skies are clear and the waters
wide:
She fashioned the stars with skiiiful
art,
Each star gem for the nations heart:
Then the woman's soul grew faint with
fears:
lis the red for blood. and the blue for
,earsg
Our llie-tide flows; but the cause is
right:
And the soul of honor for aye is white.
The God of nations is Just and true;
To him the whitel with the red and
blue,"
SO we gave our blood and we gave our
tears:
But we kept unstained. through the
fa,etul years.
The nag that aoated DER land and
sea-
The symbol of right and liberty.
Brave Betsy Ross. how little she knew
( OF the deeds she wrought with the red
and blue;
or the vaior, the justice the truth. the
right.
She stitched in the seams with the
bands of white;
or the mighty spirit that burst its bars.
And woke TO life with the Union stars.
Fling out the banner from east to
vest
On It's standard proud let the eagle
Its folds are holy, the countless dead
March ever beneath. with noiseless
tread.

From sea TO shore. salute the sign.

How to Lay Bricks.

Estimates are based by the 1000
tricks laid in wall 1t is customary
to deduct for doors, windows, arches,
etc, but not for fues, ends of 5oists,
girders, window frames, stills or lin
tells. In a general way, a four and one
half inch wall will require seven
bricks to the square foot. fourteen for
nine-inch wall, etc. Tunnel and
arch briekWork is measured by the Gu
bic yard. It requires thirty-eight
bricks, eight and one-quarter by four
by two, with points one-third to one
fourth inch wide, to lay one square
yard if laid fiat. If placed on edge, It
will take seventy-three, while if on
end, 149 Ornamental work, such as
cprnices and beads, IS produced by
causing courses of bricks to project
beyond the place of the. rest. In laying
walls, the first principle to be observed,
in order to gain the greatest resistance,
is to have the bricks Of successive
courses overlap each other, SO that the
joint between the two is oVerlaid by
the middle of brick What is known
as the old English bond and which
gives the greatest strength consists in
arranging the bricks in alternate
courses of stretchers and headers, the
former being bricks laid ongitudinally
with the wall and the other transverse
1y. The headers serve to bind the sew
eral courses together

FIRST MACHINE TOOL.
Pottes's Wheel Appears on Monument
of Ancient Egypt.

OF ancient Egypt
There can be very little doubt that
the potter's wheel, or potter's lathe, as
It is also termed, represents today the
most ancient form of machine tool
known. Among the many seulptured
records of the trades and occupations
which so wildly represent the customs
ANA habits of the ancient Egyptians,
the potter and his wheel have been
found frequently depicted, and it is
curious to note that through the al
most countless generations since that
Tine this crude type of lathe has I'M
dergone no material modification. The
primitive form was evidently small
round table, set on a pivot, and free
20 reyolYe, being turned by hand at in
teryais; and to this device there were
added IN the course Of time such SIM
tie eonVenlences as a table to support
t and foot or hand power turning
arrangement. displaced, in recent
years, in possibly few isolated cases,
by actual engine power driving. In
general use, however, the potter's
wheel CT the present time bears all the
characteristics OF the one which, 1000
years or more ago, served 80 turn out
pottery attest1ng indispensable taste
and skill. 1t is curious, too, that in
none of those ancient records are there
shown examples Of the forerunner of
the common turning lathe as we know
it today, even though the art of turn
ing may be traced back to very re-
mote period. Among Egyptian antia-
uities that have been found at
Thebes and other cities there have
been1many specimens which exhibited
indu0itable signs that the material,
while in revolution, was subjected to
the action of tool held at rest-legs
OF stools and chairs, for example, and
lamps and musical instruments-and
IN later centuries, among the Greeks
and Romans, the lathe was undoubted-
ly in common use. Unfortunately.
however, none of these early writer's
have left any account of the lathes
and tools employed by their contem-
Loraries.-Cassier's Magazine.

SAILORS SUPERSTITION.
Some of the Things That Bring Had
Luck to Shin.

Luck to Ship.
Pets are believed to bring good luck,
and when, in the recent war with
Spain, man was struck and killed by
a bursting she'll on the Texas, all the
sailors in the fleet said it was because
the battleship was without a mascot.
The cat has a bad reputation among
seafaring men, most of whom believe
that she brings ill-luck to a ship. If
cat falls overheard and is drowned
tshe is always rescued if possibIe), the
men will often leave at the next port,
believing the ship is doomed, and l
have heard men-o'-war men cite the
case of the old Kearsarge as proof
thereof. On her last voyage the frigate
carried cat and monkey. a violent
feud existed between them, and on
their way north, one dark and stormy
night, Jocko threw poor Tom over
board, running along the rail and chat
Eering ike a fend as the unfortunate
pet disappeared in the boiling waves.
The seas were running too high to ad-
nit of launching boat, and puss was
left to a Watery grave, but not without
many gloomy forebodings, which were
realized soon afterwards, when the
Kearsarge stranded ON the fatal reef.
TO fall down without any apparent
cause is a warning of death in the i'm
mediate future. An American cruiser
was lying off Nice a few years ago,
when seaman fell prone on the deck.
Upon rising, he went to his bunk, and,
returning, placed slip Of paper bear
ing his mothers address in the hand OF
a messmate. saying he did not expect
TO see home again. For the nose to
bleed only a few drops is believed in
the navy to forete1j death in as many
days or weeks as there are drops of
blood You may hear a sailor sing at
sea. but he rarely whistles; Whistling
is supposed to bring hurricane, and
is always hushed by the remark.
There's a hurricane sailor here. ~

Big Salaries.

New York Press: Speaking of big
salaries, the biggest on record was
paid to George Gould. For ten years
work his father gave him $5,e00,000.
The amount went down as "for sery-
ices rendered" That was at the rate
of 100000 a year. The highest salary
ever paid a railroad president was
SIS, 900 year that went to Sir William
C. Van Horn when he was president Of
the Canadian Pacific.

From the Pittsburg Bulletin: In his
prime the late Mr.. John Cook, the
great tourist agent, was man Of iron
frame. But when years of railway
travelling, which averaged annually
some 10000 miles, produced certain
alarming symptoms, he made a dis
covery that may be worth giving to
the public He found that the threat
ened trouble, something spinal, disap-
peared when he no longer sat with his
back to the engine. He always there
after faced 1t, and that the principle
is sound will be borne out by others
whom he advised to do the same. All
who are called upon to do much rail-
way travelling will be wise to sit fac
ing the h2rses."

Kentucky Railroad.

a railroad.
The Kentucky state law recurring rail-
road companies in that state to provide sep
arate coaches for colored passengers WAS
made the subject of an opinion in the United
States Supreme Court today, the case being
that of the c. and o. Railroad Company
versus the state of Kentucky. It came to
this court from the Kentucky court of an
p ais The opinion was handed down by
Justice Brown and the Kentucky courts
Judgment In favor Of the state was affirmed.
Justice Brown stated that in this case the
railroad company had attacked the statute
on the ground that it was unconstitutional
In that 1t is an Interference with interstate
commerce. Without replying specifically to
this objection the justice said there Is a
sufficient compliance with the law if a sep
arate coach for local colored passengers is
attached to a train while passing through
the state. The court Of appeals Of Ken
lucky had itself, he said, relieved this court
OF the necessity Of passing upon the ques-
ton as to whether the law required a sep
arate coach for interstate passengers of
color.
Justice Harlan dissented, stating his opin-
ion to be that the law Is an interference
with interstate commerce and also taking
the position that the Kentucky legislature
has no right to classify citizens by color in
railway coaches.
