When the Duke Of Wellington was
fighting in Spain, there were two
horses which had always drawn the
same gun. side by side. in many bat
ties. AT last one was killed. and the
other, on having his food brought as
usual, refused to eat, but turned his
head around to look for his old friend,
and neighed many times as IL TO call
him. All care was in vain. There were
other horses near him, but he would
not notice them, and he soon after
ward died, not having once tasted food
since his former companion was kill.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

The sun In travelling at forty miles 4
second, about 10000 times as fast as
an express train.
The comet OF 1s43 was the only one
during the last century which could be
seen In broad daylight.
The solor orb would appear blue to
anybody who should view It outside OF
this planets atmosphere
The shadow of the moon which falls
on the earth during an eclipse OF the
sun Is usually about fifty miles in d.
ameter
The moon enjoys 354ls hours OF sun
light at a time and then an equal
amount OF darkness, making her day
equal TO 20.53 Of our day
IL is a law OF science that sound can.
not travel through a vacuum. The
sound waves require the atmospheric
conditions for their vibration.
Stars seem TO rise and set, like the
sun, on account Of the earth's revolu-
tlon on her axis. They seem TO rise
four minutes earlier every night. on
account Of the earth's revolution in her
orbit.
Polaris Is triple star. The bright
star-the North star-moves about the
center OF mass itself and dark com
panion star in 3 days, % hours and IA
minutes. These two stars also move
slowly around another dark star IN a
long period.

ROu Chains No IsDger

IL Is no longer necessary to suspend
ones fan on the usual chain; the fash
ionable woman seems to prefer having
this useful ornament quite detached.
One reason for this may be the size
and apparent cumbersomeness of the
article.
That one society woman whose
gowns are always of the very newest
and smartest fashion recently wore a
low-necked bodice, with quite long
sleeves, may result in making this a
popular fashion. The princess gown.
OF black lace and chiffon over silk.
had an ornamentation of white lace.
outlined lightly with silver paillettes
and turquOises. A knot of turquoise
blue velvet was fastened in the front
of the low-eut bodice, the only touch
of color except that furnished by the
jeweled traceries.
The long loose sleeves Of lace were
gauhered into band at the wrist and
very short white gloves were worn.
The draped bodice. not the surplice
kind, but the one made with soft folds
laid horizontally across the front. is
considered very smart At a recent af-
fair no less than four of these bodices
were noticed, two in pale blue, one in
lavender. and The fourth a handsome
white brocade.
The long front finishes in the usual
point but without the ubiquitous belt
drawn down in " The neck is left
quite plain, a tiny fulness of chiffon
or lace softening the outline and FUR
nishing an ideal ground to bring into
relief jeweled pins and ornaments.
For a somewhat plain gown a cor
sage knot of flowers makes a decidedly
pretty decoration, and with this may be
worn in the hair a flower or two to
match. An idea new and effective is
the narrow round band twisted with
silver. which is laid on the top of the
head while directly in front rises a
cluster Of flowers knotted with silver
gauZe.

Charms and Other Charms

Whether or not people are more ig-
norant it is certain that they are
more superstitious Never were so
many amulets and charms worn than
now. and though they may not be used
to ward off the effects of the "evil eye. 4"
which even to this day is feared in
Southern Italy. they are the popular
fad
There is not a more popular supersti-
ton than that regarding the wearing
of amber as charms against colds and
sore throats. They come mostly in
the form of necklaces which range in
price anywhere from 81 to s. a string
The beads must be made of genuine
amber. or the charm will have no eff
feet
Many Of the necklaces sold for a few
cents are not genuine amber In the
iewelry stores. with silver and gold
trimmings, amber bead charms may be
bought as high as S25. They are a
very popular form of gift with persons
who are not ready to discard all the
old-fashioned notions that were such
comfort to our grandfathers.
Another popular charm is the coral
necklace. which is supposed to keep
awav all sorts of diseases. One that
has been worn by a healthy child is
said to have particular virtues and
one wealthy mother is known to have

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
a. II Appeared Long before Betsy
Ross Made One.

AA'nh nu0c Onts
Few persons have noticed the inter-
esting evolution on our flag Of the
stripes and stars as depleted in the ar
mory of the Ancients at the top Of old
Faneuil hall Most persons are famil-
lar with the story OF Mrs. Ross and
the making OF the first flag Of the free.
But evidently It was not Mrs. Ross
who originated the idea OF the stripes.
Down IN the armory OF the Ancients
you Will see first the broad red flag
with tie old English cross IN It's field.
Next very similar flag except that
the broad red becomes blue, with no
red but In the cross itself on the white
field. Next the white flag, with it's
pine tree and appeal to Heaven"
whence came our own state banner.
Then Il would appear that the fathers
went back again, for the next flag has
the red and white longitudinal stripes,
but I'm the field there are the crosses
OF ST. George and St. Andrew worked
out in red upon a white ground. The
next flag restores the blue 10 the field.
IT, too, has the longitudinal red and
white stripes and the combined crosses
of ST. George and St. Andrew, as in
the British Jack, worked out In red
and white upon a blue field. 1t was
not TN after that, upon the assertion
Of independence by the colonies, that
Mrs. Ross's dag appeared, and appar-
emily she only substituted for the dou-
BILE crosses the circle OF thirteen stars
upon the blue field
The red, white and blue and the red
and white stripes were all in the flag
generations before Mrs. Ross was
born, as the collection Of the Anclents
