British newspapers complain that
Englishmen often hang the union jack
upside down.
To ascertain which is the top" and
which the bottom" of a union Jack
look at the diagonal red cross (the
cross of st. PATRICK, and you will note
that the white "edgings' to it, which
are really the diagonal white cross Of
st. Andrew, upon which it is placed,
are much broader on one side than on
the other.
The flag is right side up when both
these broad white "edgings'' are above
the red diagonals on the side next to
the pole, whereas If you get the two
narrow lodgings" of white on the top,
on the side next the pole, your flag is
upside down.

A Primitive Postomce

Until short time ago very peculiar
postoff1ce was used in Argyllshire,
England. 1t was situated in the lonely
hills between Drimmin and Barr, three
miles from any habitation, and con-
sisted of simple slit In rock, closed
up by nicely fitting stone.
When any letters arrived at Drim-
min for the district of Barr, they were
conveyed to the rock by the first shep-
herd or crofter going so far. Having
been dropped In and the slit reclosed,
they were left until a shepherd or
crofter from the other side happened
to come along, when they were taken
up and delivered at their destination.
No letter was ever known to be lost at
this primitive postoff1ce.

How to Make a Bulldoe Let Go.

Says breeder of bulldogs: THE
quickest way to release a person from
the jaws of bulldog. If he be unfortu-
nate enough to be bitten, is by catching
the dogs hind paw, In the center of
which is an exceedingly tender spot
called the heart. This should be pressed
or. even better. the paw taken into the
mouth and bitten with the teeth. The
dog will relinquish the hold at once. 1t
is desperate remedy, but sure one,
and one that is resorted to by the pro-
fessional dogfghters

Old John
1he Carrier
By SCOTT CHALMERS
Copyright, 1901, by A. s. Richardson

Rugby stared out into the drizzling
twilight. The outlook was no less
gloomy than his feelings.
IF it had been any man on the force
but old John Compton, l wouldn't take
the thing to heart. But to think of old
John being arrested, prosecuted, i'm
prisoned! By heavens, l feel as If 1t
were one of my own flesh and blood"
The young inspector dug the toe of
his boot viciously into the thick rug.
His elder companion and fellow work
er tapped the table nervously.
'The evidence is overwhelming, and
yet-well, L suppose wen have to call
him in"
Rugby silently picked up his hat and
left the room. The chief leaned back
in the great revolving chair and re-
viewed the case.
John Compton was a widower resid-

had been a mail carrier for over twen-

wide. Charley laughed shortly. "For
