The Red Flag.

The red button and the red flag have
been the emblem of labor and reyol,1-
ton for more than 5000 years. In the
ancient world the favorite colors Of the
aristocracy We're white and azure blue,
While red was plebeian. Minerva and
Ceres, the goddesses of labor and agri-
culture, were always represented as
dressed in flaming red, and the ban
ners of the Greek and Roman trade
unions We're of the same color. The red
flag nowhere in antiquity meant feroc-
1ty and slaughter, but rather typified
the fact that all men, whether slaves
or masters, had in their veins the same
blood and in their nature the same hui
mainly.
But in the frequent servile wars Of
Italy and Greece the red flag gradually
became the emblem not of labor, but of
revolt. At one time when the rebel
lious slaves and gladiators under Spar
tacus defeated three Roman armies the
red flag was on the point Of supplant-
Ing the eagle in the imperial city itself.
1t is related that the labor soldiers
were so fanatically devoted to their
tag that it was the custom Of their
generals when in battle to hurl it far
into the enemy's ranks and so compel
Its devotees to rush forward and recoy-
er it.-NeW York Post.

A Bad Judge,

Some years ago King Edward VII,
then Prince Of Wales, was a guest at
a country house in England, and, pick
Ing up a sporting paper in the billiard
room one morning, was soon deep in
its contents. A clergyman, also a
guest, noticed this, and, siding up,
asked in tone that was meant to
carry reproof, "Is your royal highness
really interested in that paper?"
The prince glanced around. II never
read anything do not feel interested
in," he remarked
The clergyman, though, would not be
denied. do you know. your royal
highness, that one Of my friends has
lost hundreds Of pounds by betting on
horse racing and has never won any
thing?" he asked.

to another column, 'he must have been
a very bad judge of horsefesh."

A STRANGE LAKE.
eae Pecullarities of Body of Water
In Australia,

Lake George is situated about four
miles from the railway station at Bun
gendore, Australia, and has for many
years engaged the attention Of scien-
tific men by reason Of the singular and
inexplicable phenomena connected with
it. The estimates Of it's size vary con-
siderably according to circumstances,
but when moderately full about 20 by
Z miles will be found tolerably correct.
At either end the land is fully 100 feet
above the highest recorded surface Of
the lake, which possesses no known
outlet, although it is fed by numerous
mountain creeks.
The lake was discovered by a BUSH
man in 1920 and was known to the
blacks as the "big water" 1t was then
supposed to form the source Of river
having its mouth on the south coast,
but subsequent visitors We're much
perpleXed at the manner in which the
blacks avoided the lake, of which they
appeared to entertain a superstitious
dread, one aged aboriginal stating she
had seen it all covered with trees, an
other explaining that the whole Of the
water sunk through the bottom and
disappeared, while others remembered
the lake only as series Of small
ponds.
During the following 20 years con-
siderable variations We're noted in the
depth and extent of the lake. In 1911
the lake became partially dried up, the
moist portions being simply grassy
swamps. A few months later large
numbers of sheep We're pastured in the
bed Of the lake, but fresh water had to
be carted for the use of the shepherds,
that Of the lake being too salt for hu-
man consumption. The place remained
more or less dry until 1852, the year Of
the great floods in that part of the col
ony. when it again became filled, with
an average depth of nine feet Since
then the surface level of the lake has
varied considerably, but the bed has
never been so dry as in former years.
There are indications that many hun
dreds of, years ago the lake covered a
far larger area than any yet recorded,
remains of trees over 100 years old be-
ing found In spots formerly under wa
ter. The saline character Of the lake is
the more remarkable by reason Of it's
being fed by pure and sparkling fresh
water streams.

Fremont's Ride.

A pretty story is told Of how John G.
Fremont informed his wife of the joy
full news of his election as senator of
California in 1850. The balloting of the
delegates took place in San Jose, and
Mrs. Fremont was at Monterey, and as
season of heavy rains was on there
was but little prospect that her keen
desire to know the result would find
Immediate qualification. Before blaz-
ing fire that night sat Fremont's wife,
her fingers for the first time fashioning
q dress for herself on the trustworthy
outlines of one that had been ripped I'D
for the purpose. Her little daughter
had been put to bed, and her compan-
ions for the evening were the Austria
lian woman who had replaced her two
Indian seryitors and her baby playing
on the bearskin rug near the fire.
Besides the voice Of the woman and
an occasional chirrup from the baby
she heard nothing but the storm with
out till the door opened and a man,
dripping with rain, stood on the thresh-
old and asked in consideration of his
sorry plight if he might enter. 1t was
Fremont. He had torn himself away
from his idolizing followers and ridden
out into the darkness and storm to tel!
his wife, 40 miles away, that he had
been elected to the United States SEN
ate. Though it was late in the night
when he reached Monterey, he was in
the saddle again before dawn and on
his way back to San Jose, making in
all ride of 40 miles.-Argonaut.

which nature provides for the condl-

This bird is found on the coast, and
the eggs are usually laid on the bare

would probably roll off.

The Duty
of Mothers.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs treat
ment, and her mother should see that
she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton: but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham's Laboratory
at Lynn, Mass, and secure from a
woman the most efficient advice with
out charge.

in January, 1899, saying her daughter
had suffered for two years with irreg-

swelled, and was generally miserable.
She received an answer promptly with
advice, and under date of March. 1899,
the mother writes again that Lydia E.

her daughter Of all pains and irregu-

How often comes this bitter vail
oh how we miss our little Gail
We miss his sweet smiling face.
" Yes we miss him in every place.
But our loss is his eternal gain,
He never more will suffer pain
We have lost our darling little boy,
But he has gained eternal JOY.
He never more to US can come,
But we can go to his blest Home.
Forever free from sin, sorrow and care,
Peace, love and JOY reigning everywhere.
He for a short time to us was given,
To draw our thoughts from earth to
Heaven.
The Joys of Heaven will be more complete
When there our little one we greet.
We loved our darling one so we'll,
How much we loved no tongue can tell
But our Saviour loves him better still
To take him home was His blest will
