the other bundle contained an old paid OF

The DOniphan Expedition Flag.

A silk flag, full of historic interest,
carried by General Alexander Doniphan
in his Mexican expedition, is one Of
the most interesting and valuable of
the relics of the Mexican war now in
the possession of the Missouri Histor-
zeal Society. The society has offered
the loan of the flag for exhibition in
the Missouri building at the Worlds
Fair.
The flag is fringed entirely around.
1t is about four feet long, proportion
ately wide and the side shown IN it,
case has nine white aud as many red
strings running horizontally half way
across the length. The one-half OF
the longer MEASURE is divided into two
equal portions by a horizontal dividing
line The upper portion is blue With
metal stars to the number of thirty
the lower half is white with the silk
worked words: "Canada, Pueblo, De
Taos, Brarito, Sacramento" Entwin-
ing around these words are pencil
lines which have never been erased
II is said that owing TO a sudden de-
parIure OF the command it was i'm.
possible for the makers to finish the
emblem after 1t had been designed
The Missouri Worlds Fair commission
will doubtless secure the flag for ex.
hibilion.

Cancer Is one Of the most stubborn
disease, not only Of England but Of

summary Of Chicago Mortality, 1851

of cancer deaths per 10, 900 of pc ula.
tion has increased amazingly during
the last fifty years. Take as specimen
years. the years 1865, 1861, 1871. 1881,

KEEP IN THE FRESH AIR.
Retain Your Health by Getting Out

~
Into the Sunshine.
Artificial heat will keep people
from freezing, but there is no life
in it. Warmth that comes from
the sun has life in it, vitality,
magnetism, electricity. Sprink.
ling the lawns will keep the grass
from dying. Indeed, the lawn can
be kept fairly green and vigorous
by repeated sprinklings. But one
shower of rain is worth more to
the lawn than days and weeks Of
sprinkling.
1t is just so with the heat that
comes from the CRATE. 1t will keep
a person from freezing; indeed,
some people will thrive fairly we'll
without any other form of heat,
but as a rule sun heat is necessary
to health. The sun does more
than elevate the temperature. 1t
brings to the body vitalizing
agents that cannot be produced by
artificial means, says the Scots
man.
When a person is well he gem
orally gets, in the pressure of
business, enough of the direct
rays of the sun to keep him well.
AS soon as a person gets sick he
is shut up and kept carefully away
from sunlight. This is very
wrong. The sicker a person gets
the more he is in need of sunshine.
If sunshine and fresh air are
necessary for the well, they are
doubly necessary for the sick.

They attribute the cure to the

The valid point that the great stock
breeders will have their show stock at
St. Louis and that the state fair will
thus be an opportunity for the young
stock men to come to the front and
win something, Furthermore, the
Ruralist thinks that the state fair
would serve as a valuable feeder to the

exhibitors would feel encouraged TO

WOOD ON ALASKAN ISLAND.
Possibility of Creating Forests in the
Aleutian Chain.

AeutiAn Chain.
Unalaska is, says the New YORK
Tribune, one of the islands which
reach out sOuthwestwardly in a
long line from Alaska. They are
practically uninhabited, and
scarcely a tree can be found on
any of them. Such wood as Isl
used there, aside from the drift
wood picked up by the natives,
comes from San Francisco, and
the freight charges make it ex-
pensive. Sod is used for building
huts and sea lion skins to cover
boats. All possible makeshifts
are resOrted to in order to pro-
vide substitutes for that useful
material.
On Unalaska, in a sheltered
cove near Dutch HarbOr, there is
a clump of small sitka spruces,
probably planted by a Russian
missionary since the island was
made a trading port in 1905.
These few trees, six or eight in
number, do not look thrifty, and
it is impossible to tell how many
others have persisted and disap-
peared from the number original
ly transplanted thither. On the
other hand, no n can know how
much more vigorous the growth
would have been if the trees had
been well cared for.
A plentiful supply of native
wood would be of value in case
these islands became stopping
places for transatlantic steam
ships. With that and other pos
sibilities in view, well known ex-
perts have been discussing the ex-
pediency of tree planting, not only
on Unalaska, but also on neigh
boring islands. Henry Gannett,
geOgrapher of the geological sur.
vey, can see no good reason why
trees should not thrive there.
The climate is scarcely more Sc
we're than at Sitka, and there is
plenty of rain. Sunshine is
scarce, but the Sitka spruce does
not require much of that. The
winds are often high, but the
same conditions prevail on other
coasts where forests abound.
An encouraging fact is that
other vegetation on the Aleutian
Islands is rank. Says a writer in
Forestry and Irrigation: "Grass.
es and wild grains grow with
fabulous luxuriance to remark.
able heights, and some vegetables
may be raised. Even on the Priby.
lof islands, some 200 miles to the
north, the ground is matted with
the creeping arctic willow and
glorious with yellow peoples and
. blue lupine; turnips and quick ma.
turing vegetables can be grown
and from the presence of white
men there, almost from their dis
. cOvery, it would seem that some
attempt might have been made to
, ward having a tree or two for the
y sake of mere company"

DAMAGE FROM GRAssRoPPERs
Destruction Of Grain Crop in Paradise
Valley is Threatened.

Reports from Paradise valley are
mat the farmers are very much al
armed over a threatened repetition
Of the grasshopper plague Of last year.
Last season the pests destroyed near
" the entire grain crop Of the valley
and the resultant less to the farmers
amounted to thousands ofdollars.
The hoppers deposited their eggs
over the entire upper end Of the val
icy and it was hoped chat the severe
winter had destroyed NEST Of them,
out it now appears that the frost and
cold had little effect.
The other day Constable Bunch was
downfrom the valley and brought
with him a cigar box full Of grasshop-
pers which We're collected in an area
about two yards square in the school
house yard at Paradise. That is, he
started with box full Of the eggs and
the earth in which they had been de-
posted, but by the time he reached
here the box was fairly alive with
young hoppers which had Matched out
on the way. He left the box at the
Standard Office, where the eggs are
still in incubation and Matching when
ever placed in sunny place.
Anyone interested in the pestiferous
inescts should call around and see the
development of the grassEopper from
the egg, The eggs are light yellow
in color, about a quarter Of an inch
long and are deposited in clusters.
The young hoppers are the coier of
the eggs when they are hatched. but
quickly turn nearly black. They sus-
tain their name by beginning to hop
right away.
Reports from the valley say that
men working in the fields find the
eg~- cf ttn hopper everywhere, de-
posted thicluy only an inch or so be-
low the ground. The warm days this
week have started the Matching and
it now looks as if the hOppers will ser
iCusIy damage the crops Oh all the ran
ches in the upper end Of the valley
this summer The only hope is that
some natural cause will prevent the
eggs from hatchlng as they did last
wear Otherwise there is hardly a
doubt that the destructive pests will
cause a loss to the farmers even eX
ceeding that which they suffered las
year.-HumbolGt STANDARD,
