OUR FLAGS IN DANGER.
w. SCoTT GARNER.
Tunnelton, w. Va.

1t was discovered recently at the
war department in Washington that
our flags were in great danger, and
from an insignificant source. The
sacred emblems for which West Vir
glnia's sons have fought, bled and
died, the tatterd flags whose bright
colors cheered many a soldier of
West Virginia on to victory, and
which have been preserved as pre-
cious relics of the civil war, with a
number of other state flags, are in
danger of being destroyed. Men
have laid down their lives to pre-
serve it from stain or tarnish, and
they have been guarded since that
time as one of the priceless testimo-
mails of West Virginia's bravery.
What the onslaught of hostile
forces have failed to do with shot
and shell, a mother mouse and her
young brood have been accomplish
ing quietly, even under the watchful
care of the custodians of the war
department. 1t was discovered that
the mice had moved in without an
nouncing their intention, and the
effects of their work was plainly WIS.,
ible, even in cursory examination.
The cases will be cleaned and
care taken that the mice are exclu-
ded from their new home.
1t has been the policy of Gen.
Corbin, who is custodian of the
state flags, to have the cases in
which they are kept cleaned out
thoroughly every year, and he is at
a loss to say how the mice were
able to get into the glass cases
which contain the flags. 1t is adj
mitted that relics Of so much i'm
portance in the states history should
be given much more care and atten-
ton. The war department intends
to erect new cases to keep the flags
Of the various states in, and have
them lined with copper, so as to
keep the mice and dampness out.

J. c. Perry United States marine

eral Wyman, on leprosy in the
islands. Among other things, he
says
'Ieprosy is widely prevalent over
the entire archipelago, but the
greatest number of cases exists in
southern Luzon and the southern
islands. 1t is quite prevalent in
Cebu, the number of lepers being
estimated at 10000, but the actual
number is not known.
FThe cases in Manila and sur.
rounding country are isolated in a
substantial hospital, under the aus.
pices Of the Manila board of health.
There is also leper hospital at
Cebu.
"a board of army officers was
recently detailed to investigate sew
eral islands for the purpose OF
selecting a suitable one for Ieper
colony, the intention being to de-
port all cases of leprosy to this
place for segration and isolation.

this will have been established.
