There a. many traditions aioat
concerning the origin of this design,
but the one in which there is I'm.
doubtsdly the most truth is that which
credits the idea of the design 10 Wash
ington. The General found in the
coat-of-arms OF his own family a
hint from which he drew a design for
the flag. The coat-of-arms of the
Washington family was two red bars
on a white ground, and three gilt
stars above the top bar. The Ameri-
can flag, once decided upon, was
rushed through in a hurry, for the
army was In need OF a standard.
Betsy Ross enthusiastically under.
took the work, and in a few days a
beautiful star-spangled banner was
ready to be unfurled. She had made
m alteration in the design submitted
by Washington. The General had
made his stars six pointed, as they
were on his coat-of-arms. Betsy Ross
made her stars with five ~points-and
five points have been used ever since.
For several years Mrs. Ross made the
flags for the government.
The first using of the stars and
stripes in military service. it is
claimed, was at Fort Stanwix, re.
named Fort Schuyler, now Rome, New
York, 1777. Aug. 2 of that year the
fort was besieged by the British and
Indians; the garrison was without a
flag, but one was made in the fort.
The red stripes were of a petticoat
furnished by a woman, the white for
stripes and stars were furnished by an
officer, who gave his shirt for the pur.
pose, and the blue was a piece OF

AND NOW IT is TACOMA
That Poses Before the World as the Burning
Mountain.

A San Francisco dispatch of the 9th
states that the steamer Palena brings
the news OF destruction of the town oil
Retalbulen, in Guatemala by a mass
of lava, stones and ashes thrown from
the volcano crater and that probably
1000 of its people have perished. The
volcano is about twenty-five miles
from Champanico, and near the town
OF Tapachulo, which, it is believed,
also suffered severely.
The eruption started several days
before the Palena arrived at Champan-
leo. The vessels officers were in.
formed by the officers of the Pacific
Steam Navigation company At that
place that the volcano had shown
signs of the pending eruption for sew
eral days previous to the outbreak. In
fact Mt. Tacoma had been restless ever
since the great earthquake of April Is,
which destroyed the city of Quezalte-
mango.
For weeks black pail of smoke
hung over its summit and the glare
from the crater illuminated the sky.
Many of the inhabitants of Ratalbulen
fled from their homes to places OF
safety and these escaped frightful
death. When the eruption at last
broke forth in its full force showers OF
lava, ashes and stones were elected and
covered the country for miles around.
The bay Of Champanico was mass OF
floating pomice and ashes.

LAST DAY AT HAND.
ADvENTlSTS THINK END OF THE
WORLD is NEAR.

The Martinique Horror, Supplemented by Up
heavals in Guatemala and Prsmontory Sign.
of Volcanic Eruption in Many Distant Part,
Of the Earth Have Set These People. in Chi
caso. Wild With Apprehension-Thsy Spend
Their Time in Prayer for Publication to
Meet the Second Coming Of the Saviour
Which They Believe Is at Hand.
Speaking in hushed sentences and
offering devout prayers, Seventh Day
Adventists have been the past fort
night gathered in many parts of Chi
cago and prophesying the end of the
world and the second coming of Christ.
In the volcanic upheavals in Martin
ique they see terrible portent, sent
to mankind to warn them that the
end Of all is near. Not in week, a
month, or any specified time, say the
Adventists, is the world to be blotted
out; but they maintain that the warn
ing is real, and tonight they offered
supplication that Chicago might be
purified to make it ready for the end.
In sermons, too, the horrors of Mar.
Unique and the anticipated outbreaks
in other places were the principal fea-
lures. Sunday the services in the diff
ferent churches OF this sect are almost
entirely devoted to the contemplation
OF what the congregations consider to
be positive proof and corroboration c'
their religious belief. The preachers
in their sermons have pointed to the
fearful calamity at St. Pierre and to
greater horrors expected throughout
the world in the near future. Men,
women and. children on their bended
knees, with sobs and tears, have Of
fered prayers to the Almighty to help
them to sd live that they will be among
those who will join Christ's celestial
throng upon his second coming. The
mournful hymns sung sound like fun
eral dirges. The Adventist preachers
declared that the world would un-
doubtedly come to an end in the pres
ent generation. This has given rise
to intense zeal and fervor among the
Adventists, and while some simply
reiterate the statement, others make
more definite predictions and are en-
deavOring to fix more certain dates.
All Of them, however, are united in
the conviction that the scriptural
signs of the earths end have now be-
gun in the West Indies and that the
world is doomed.

CEREALS BETTER THAN MEAT.
New York World.

Experts on food use terms that are
Greek to the general reader. They
speak, for example, OF the number of
calories" different fo,ds will furnish
to the human body. Now, ca.ory"
Is the amount of heat that will raise
one pound of water about four de.
grees Fahrenheit. Again, the experts
talk of foods as yielding protein, fats
and carbohydrates" all OF which are
necessary in certain proportions to
fully nourish the human body. In
plain English, "protein" is that ele-
ment in our food which forms tissue
muscle, tendon and a little fat.
" Fats" are the elements which form
fatty tissue but no muscle. Carbo-
hydrates" are the elements which the
digestive processes convert into fat.
All three serve as fuel and yield
energy, but the protein" in foods is
the main source OF muscular strength,
while the fats" are the main source
OF heat.
Our American standard of nutri-
ton, higher than the European, re-
quires daily supply OF food that will
furnish heat and energy to different
classes OF persons, as follows:
Robust men at hard outdoor work,
1000 calories per day; healthy men at
indoor work, $500 ca'ories per day;
strong women, 5000 calories per day
children and delicate women, $500
calories per day.
Contrary to the very general belief,
beef is not among the foods that yield
most energy for the least money. At
the ruling price, "a cents a pound, it
would require $l.4O worth of prime
sirloin of beef Cor nearly six pounds)
to yield 5000 calories OF heat, which is
the average requirement per head of
an American family. OF common ar.
ticlss OF food, none except eggs yields
so little effectiye energy in proportion
to its cost.
Prof. w. o. Atwater, the well.known
food authority, says that 10 cents
spent for beef sirloin, even when it
costs only 20 cents a pound, yields
only SIS calories of energy to the hu-
man body, while 10 cents worth of
wheat flour yields $40 calories Of en-
ergy-more than ten times as much.
Comparing the various foods in this
way. Prof. Atwater says that fresh
vegetables are the dearest sources OF
protein, meats and fish the next dear
est, and the cereals chedpe st Of ALL"
The practical conclusion for the
present situation is that the average
American family, if it joins the popu-
lar movement to quit eating meat for
a month and crush the trust under
the weight of its own unstable goods,
can find an entirely efficient and econ.
omic substitute in Indian corn, wheat,
oats, rye and rice. These cereals con-
tain every necessary element for re-
pairing the waste OF the human body
and maintaining its energy, and there
are many tempting ways of cooking
them.
