Origin of Custom

she is captured. All this is legitimate,
whether the Hussar takes the bait or
no. But the French captain goes too
far. He hoists in the main shrouds an
ensign reversed and tied in a weft or
loop. Now, this being a we'll known
signal Of distress-an appeal to a COM
non humanity which nc generous OFF,
Ger could disregard-the Hussar at
once closes. Fortunately, however,
her crew are at quarters when the Sy-
billie, hauling down the English flag
at the peak and hoisting the French
above, ~endeavors to run her on board,
The extreme rolling natural to a ship
not steadied by sufficient sail exposes
the Sybille's bottom, and several shots
from the Hussar go through her very
bilge. BY this time another English
man-of-war comes up, and the Sybille
strikes her iag-the reversed ensign
with its welt, so d~ishonorably hoisted,
remaining in the shrouds.
So much for the signal Of distress
theory.
We know that flags we're commonly
used at funerals in England, especially
before the middle ct the seventeenth
century, not reversed or tied in a
welt, but floating in their normal posi-
ton. This practice was discontinued
little by little, though no doubt some
trace Of its influence is still eel in
the universal display of military flags
on occasions of national bereavement.

Etiquette of
Flag Signals

What is tie origin Of the custom Of
displaying flags at half-stan, or, as
people usually say, half-mast?"
This question, when it was put to
me the other day, appeared to have
an easy answer: 1T Is borrowed from
the navy. The ensign or pennant at
half-mast is a recognized sign Of
mourning"
Yes; but was it at first a ships
signal Of distress, as some .say-even
some Of the good dictionaries?"
have heard that in the seventeenth
century it was so employed by the
spaniards; put, at any rate, toward
the end of the eighteenth century the
signal of distress recognized by
French and English sailors was a diff
ferent affair, as the following story
shows:
Ammo 1783-The French ship Sybille,
a powerful Begun frigate, is sighted
off Cape Henry by the Hussar, of %
guns. Now, the Sybille a few days be-
fore in a drawn fight with one Of the
ships of the English feet to which the
Hussar belongs, sustained such injur-
les that She has subsequently been dis
masted in a puff Of wind and is under
jury masts. AS she is therefore un-
able to chase the Hussar, she seeks to
entice her alongside, in order to take
her by boarding, and accordingly she
hoists to the peak the French ensign
under the English, as If admitting that

Threw Gold
to Lotta

Lolita, the ex-actress, in private life
known as Miss Charlotte Crabtree, is
a most charming and dignihed woman
OF petite figure and middle age. She
has lived in retirement for nearly
twenty years. She left the stage at
the height OF her popularity for rea-
sons that have never been definitely
stated.
Her singular influence over rough
men was exemplifed when she was
about II. In charge Of her mother, she
was making a tour of the Nevada
mining camps. She landed at Ham
ilton, one Of TIE toughest camps in
the territory. An expectant crowd Of
particularly rough miners was at the
tavern to meet her when the stage
drove up.
When there alighted from the stage
a spare, elderly lady, who was Mrs.
Crabtree, and a little girl in short
frocks, who was Miss Crabtgee, the
disappointment wasloudly and vocifer-
ously expressed. However, any show
was better than none, and that even
ing the miners fairly packed the place
where the show was to take place.
Two billiard tables had been pushed
together to make a stage, a curtain
being dropped between for the pur-

for the opening there stepped from be-
hind this curtain on to the front bill
lard table a demure little creature
with skirts reaching to the knees and
carrying a banjo slung negigently
over her shoulders,
The audience was very cold. In less
than half an hour, however, Lolita had
every mothers son of them in a state
Of h~igh-wrought enthusiasm. She
sang to them, danced for them, and
told them funny stories with t~ireless
energy, and they encored her again
and again. Finally one man in the au-
dience, carried entirely away by en-
thusiasm, came down to the front
with a whoop, and, throwing some
thing on the stage cried out:
There, you can have my pile"
The example was contagious. In
less than a minute every man in the
place was s%crambling eagerly forward
to divest himself Of riches In order to
lay them at Lotta's feet.

A Cuban who applied for insurance
from a local company the other day
almost wept when told by the examin-
ing physician hat he could not insure
him, but that he should call again in
about two years. The agents had as
sured the Cuban that he would be a
frst-class risk. In despair he went to
New York and conhded his woes to an
old friend, who is the head Of the
firm for which he is the Philadelphia
representative. The friend said: "Sinee
the Spanish war, when so many young
men from Cuba and Porto Rica have
come here to engage In trade, 1 have
seen scores of cases like yours. You
are killing yourself by insisting on liv-
ing in Philadelphia as you did in Ha-
vana. Persons who come to the United
States TO live, no matter from what
part Of the world, must make certain
concessions to climate. You drink as
much black coffee and smoke as many
cigarettes here as you did at home.
Very well, it will kill you II you keep
1t up. Your insurance man probably
thought you we're consumptive. Stop
living like a Cuban in Philadelphia;
eat, drink and smoke as men there DO,
and 1 will guarantee you an Insurance
policy In less than two years. "-Phila-
