Story of the American Flag.

Few persons have noticed the inter-
esting evolution of our flag of the
stripes and the stars as depicted in the
army OF the Ancients (Ancient and
Honorable Artillery, at the top OF old
Faneuil Hall. Most persons are ia
miliar with the story of Mrs. Ross and
the making of the first flag of the free
But evidently ii was not Mrs. Ross
who originated the idea of the stripes.
Down in the armory of the Ancients
you will see the broad red flag with the
old English cross in its field. Next a
very similar flag except that the broad
red becomes broad blue, with no red
but in the cross itself on the white
field Next the white flag with its pine
tree and Appeal to Heaven" whence
came our own state banner. Then it
would appear that the fathers went
back again, for the next flag has the
red and white longitudinal stripes, but
in the field there are crosses of St
George and St. Andrew worked out in
red upon a white ground. The next
flag restores the blue to the field. It.
too, has the longitudinal red and white
stripes and the combined crosses of st.
George and st. Andrew, as in the Brit
ish Jack, worked out in red and white
upon a blue field. 1t was not until af-
ter that, upon the assertion of indie
pendence by the colonies. that Mrs.
Ross flag appeared, and apparently
she only substituted for the double
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 Ancients demonstrates.-B

Typhoid In British Army.

In a recent discussion in the Royal
United Service Institution on THE
Abolition of Typhoid Fever from the
Army DR.. Rideal gave some interest
ing facts respecting filters and chemi-
calls for the sterilization of drinking
water. The essential fast, so far as
South African experience goes, is that
the filters became instantly clogged.
With clear water they might have been
efficient but they were of no use with
the turbd fluid which the British
troops had to put up with in the
Transvaal and Orange River Colony.
DR.. Parkes and DR.. Rideal have ex-
perimented with bi-sulphate of soda, a
very small quantity of which is said to
kill the typhoid germ, and the salt
is being tried on a considerable scale
in South Africa" 1t does not appear
from the official Aatstics of death in
the South African service from ty
phOid, says the New York Times, that
the bisulphate of soda experiment has
been completely successful, but per-
haps it has not yet had fair rial Sol
diers are not very prudent in the mat
ter of potable water, and will drink
anything wet no matter how much
good advice they get.-Chicago News,

A Student OF War.

1t is still too early to estimate how
far civilization has been advanced by
the life work of Jean de Bloch, the
Russian writer whose death at Warsaw
was announced the other day. Practi-
cally throughout NJ. Blochs active life
he was devoted to the study of the sci
ence of war, it's methods, its causes
and it's political and economic effects.
His study of military equipments and
methods led him to the belief that war,
always a horrible thing, must be in
finitely more terrible in the future;
that, in fact, war was becoming so
deadly that first-class powers could no
longer resort to it, opposing armies
being unable to exist within striking
distance OF each other. His moral con-
victions led him to evolve plan for
international arbitration. The car,
who had been strongly impressed with
NJ. Bioch's pictures of war, virtually
accepted this plan in outlining his call
for the peace conference at The Hague.
That conference failed signally to
bring ans lasting assurances of peace,
but for the influence NJ. Bloch exer-
cised in bringing it about as we'll az
for his contributions to the entire sub
ject OF international relations he will
be long Observation-Disclosures News.

The Point of View.

At one OF the reunions of the Army
of the Cumberland several ex-ofiicers
of the Union army fell to discussing
the wounds they had received during
the civil war. AT last one of their
number turned to Colonel B. a tall,
fine, soldierly looking man, who had
remained silent during the discussion,
and said well, colonel you seem to
be the only one of the party who es-
capped uninjured.' "Oh, no, | didn't"
answered the colonel quickly; 4 was
shot at Antietam. A bullet went
through my nose, taking the gristle
out" He wiggled his nose to prove
the truth of his statement "Ah, we'll.
you were quite fortunate, after all. said
Major NJ consolingly: IF the bull
let had struck a half inch farther in
your soul would have been launched
into eternity" Yes, said the colonel,

hit me at ll."-Lippincott's Magazine

Rotation Of Crops,

From Farmers Review: AS to the
best rotation of crops for a wheat
grower, | would suggest the old rota-
ton of corn, oats, wheat and clover or
corn, soy beans or cowpeas, wheat and
clover with timothy. The latter rota-
ton | think is the better one where
the farmers can use the crops. as it Is
virtually getting two clover crops in
the rotation or every second crop a
leguminOus one. 1t must be borne in
mind that no system in which the
most of the products of the soil are
removed from the farm can continu-
ously preserve the fertility of the land.
Unless the crops are partially returned
to tho land by pasturing or hauling on
manure the clover and beans or peas
only form a means of more perfectly
draining the land of it's elements of
fertility.-H. B. Rice, Fulton County.

Wartime Heroine.

There is q story connected with the
earlier life OF the late John M. Palmer
OF Illinois that though told before, will
bear repeating. 1t was nearing the
close of the civil war. Gen. Palmer,
on one of his visits to his home at
Carlinville. had brought with him a
negro boy, Martin, from the south, and
had turned him over to the care of
his family when he went back to the
army. 1t was not long before it became
evident that the whole proceeding was
obnoxious to the southern sympa.hiz-
ers living in the little town, and there
were many. The Palmer family heard
vague whispers about the ''guerillas,"
then flourishing about the country, and
they kept Martin close at home. But
early one morning, when the sun was
just reddening the east, band of
about thirty masked men rode to the
house to demand the boy. There were
no men in the house-a fact the band
outside probably knew. Then Miss
Bette, the 1S-year-old daughter of the
house, took command. Her brown eyes
flashed as the knocking became i'm
perative, and, taking down pistol
from the shelf, ordered the ashen-hued
Martin to go to his room, and lock
himself in. Then to the door She
stepped and opened it. What do you
want?" she demanded bravely but with
Quick-beating heart. we want the
boy Martini" the spokesman answered

cursed little, and made threats, but
no one offered to move toward the de-
termined little lady, and after whis-

Then Miss Bette went into the house
and wept But she was called the
