British Bunting on Yankee Pine.

The British banner floats over Wind
scr castle from Flagstaff cut in an
American forest. This fact has re-
Gently been mentioned, and it is typi-
cal of the tremendous truth that the
glory of England is beginning to de-
pend upon America for support. An
American. staff upholds the British
flag; America itself is the staff upon
which Great Britain begins to lean for
support, says the Saturday Evening
Post of Philadelphia.
Far-seeing minds in England have
long perceived this drift, and when a
prominent Englishman recently made
public his. speculations as to whether,
should Great Britain and the United
States become one country, the gov
eminent of the united powers should
be a monarchy or republic, he but put
into words thought that has vaguely
come to many; thought which is
but the carrying to an extreme the
practical wish Of the great majority,
Of English people for a close and
friendly alliance with us.
The glory of England depends upon
America. She needs our moral sup
port and the support Of our mater
ial resources. 1t was her sense of
dependence upon us that made her SO
ready to withdraw from an extreme
position in regard to the Nicaragua
Canal. Her sense Of this dependence
might even make her offer favorable
terms to the Beers should united
America demand such a course on her
part toward little republic strugg-
ling for existence.
With our immense wealth, our i'm
mense harvests, our immense out
put of manufactures, we are rapid
ly winning our way in the markets
and the monied centers of the world.
With our still more immense resources
our influence is sure to grow. -
The position of England has always
been curious one. She has won
glory and power, but has owed more
to allies than has any other prominent
nation in history. She won gloriously
at Blenheim-but it was because the
army of Prince Eugene fought side by
side with that of Marlborough. She
won gloriously at Waterloo-but all
Europe was with her against Napo-
leon, and without the aid of Butcher
Wellington's skill would have been
vain. She humbled Russia's pride in
the Crimea-but France, Turkey and
Sardinia fought by her side. She won
supremacy over all India-but it was.
through her astute and consistently
continued policy of taking the part of
one native race against another.
AS England now surveys the Con-
tinent she sees disquieting conditions,
threatening combinations. And Eng
land fears an alliance still more omin-
GUS to her than any which has vet
been formed. She fears that Ger
many's strong overtures of friendship
toward us will be received in friend
ly spirit, and she knows that should it
ever happen that Germany's army
and navy should unite with the
American army and navy, no Power,
no possible combination of Powers,
could stand against such coalition.
For this reason, for many reasons.
for reasons based upon the extent Of
our peaceful resources and upon our
present and growing warlike strength
England wants the support of the
United States. And the British Ban
ner floats over Windsor Castle from
an American flagstaff.

are symbolized both sport and war.

She'll Sing Hereafter.

A charming young lady of Kensing-
ton who glorles in the possession of a
wealth of bright auburn colored hair
is the teacher of Sunday school class.
On n recent Sabbath the rector made
the announcement of a hymn to be
sung and, rising, waved his hands, and
the organ pealed forth.
"Now," said he, ''ready-sing."
A small and precocious youth in the
young woman's class said:
"Why don't you sing, Miss Frisbee?'
"NIe? oh, l never sing" replied the
teacher, smiling her prettiest.
But exclaimed the boy, "the min
lister says you must. Didn't he just
say Now, Reddy, sing?"
Smelling salts and numerous other
restoratives had to be used to bring
the teacher out of her faint.-Philadel-

ONE OF NATURE S LAWS.
Action ar2 Reaction That Produce
u Fit of the RIaes.

Probably in two cases out of three
the blues are caused by ones physical
state. If a man has overworked or
has been under any unusual strain or
excitement or las worried n great deal
or has been for a while in a state of
joy and elatlon-all of which require an
expenditure of energy-he is very likely
to have the blues and to be in low
spirits by way Of reaction.
The body is machine which can do
n certain amount of work and no more.
If 1t does Il great deal today, it must
do less tomorrow and thereby make up
for today's extravaganza. If a man
takes one glass of whisky, the slight
stimulus that he feels will be followed,
as night follows day, by an exactly
equivalent sinking Of the spirits. If he
has been thoroughly and gayly drunk,
his recovery will be attended by cor
responding melancholla and misery.
When a man has the blues, he ought
to consider that he is merely an eX-
ponent of one of natures laws and that
he has no right to harass others with
complaints. Some men are not pleased
unless they communicate their unpleas-
ant moods to all about them. They be
come sully and cross with their wives
and children, and they throw Il gloom
over their household. Such conduct is
very selfish.
A man in the blues ought to take
some pills and good long walk all
alone or with some companion of stead
fast cheerfulness. Lucky it is for him
if he has Il wife who will not be down
cast and who can restore him to cheer
fulness without spelling him.-San
Francisco Bulletin.

sage Advice About Methods Before
and After the Ceremony.
In Her Royal Highness Woman"
Max O'Rell gives some very sage ad-
vice to men rs to what they should and
marriage. The following extracts will
be of interest to readers:
Never marry a woman richer than
you, one taller than you or one older
than you. BE always gently superior to
your wife in fortune, in size and in age,
so that in every possible way she may
appeal to you IF help or protection,
either through your purse, your
strength or your experience in life.
Marry her at an age that will always
enable you to play with her all the diff
ferent characteristic parts of a hus-
banda chum, lover, an adviser, a
protector and just tiny suspicion Of a
father.
However i'll you may speak or think
of women, you will always find wom-
an able to do it better than you.
Never let your ladylove see you with
out a collar-no, not even the very wife
of your bosom. A mans head without
a collar is like a bouquet without a
holder.
Never let her see you asleep. Maybe
you sleep with your mouth open. If
you are married, let your wife sleep
first. When you are quite sure she is
off, let yourself go, and be careful to
wake up first in the morning.
