ORIGIN OF FLAGS.
FIGHTERS OF ALL AGES LOVED
 A STANDARD. ...
First Use of Banner Lost in An tiquity-Goes Beyond the
 Saracens.

London Globe.
 Where in the whole world is another thing. meaningless in itself, that has sig nified so much or served so greatly in the dramas of national life as the flag? One tradition says the Saracens first carried an orthodox standard into battle, and thus gave the idea. as they gave so many others. to the Crusaders. But obvious ly. the flag is far older than this, and it is interesting to note Its development from the first inanimate object borne aloft on a stan, so as to be generally visible, down to the complicated blazon- ry of a royal banner fin our own ages. The Egyptians thus carried before their hosts the figure of a sacred animal on a spear, and the Assyrians, as their carvings tell us. inspired the hopes and centered the attentions of their soldiers in the same way.
 The royal standard of the Persians for many years was blacksmiths apron and it Is said local prince, in passing hermit's cell on the way to battle one morning. asked the inmate for his blessing, or something expressive to put on that artless cognizance. The hermit possibly a little touchy. as even saints will be when disturbed at breakfast time, threw the chieftain the flat round cake he was eating, which was duly added to the apron-hence the Persian sun" The lion was an obvious afterthought. The Turks used horses tail, the rank of pacha being known by the number of tails he carried and probably this sug- gested the much bifurcated pennon of early western chivalry. familiar to every one who has studied the Bayeux tapestry or early illuminated missals.
 In the middle ages, devoted to display and military arrogance. the flag stood in relationship to the great captains array as his personal armor stood to himself; it insured recognition in the melee, and supplied a rallying point for the fighters such as nothing else could have done. This led to an etiquette of flags. which apportioned shape and size to every rank of the peerage, from the royal standard itself down through a varied array of

LENGTH OF LIFE.
Longevity of Man Increasing, Says
 an Austrian Physician.
Indiana Medical Journal.


 Indiana Medical Journal
 Medical men are discussing a lecture by Prof. Pfiuger of the University of Bonn, on longevity. in which he asserts that the average length of human life is steadily increasing He maintains that one third of all the deaths registered in Munich are due to heart disease, brought on by the immoderate use of beer and that tobacco also claims a large per cent age of the victims. Among forty centena- rians who have come under his notice there was only one smoker. while nearly all professed to a moderate use of alco- hol. What Prof. Pfiuger most seriously warns people against Is the thought and fear of death. The mind must be occu- pied he says in order to secure longev- ity. Hardworking men who retire rarely live much longer.
 The German census statistics show that m 1871 the centenarians numbered 147 men and 2S7 women, but in 1900 only five men and thirty women. The above press re- port Is of interest AS Is well known. in Munich the consumption of beer percapita is greater than elsewhere in the world and the per centage of heart disease is higher. Beer has a worse influence on the heart than either wine or whiskey To- bacco is better borne by adults and the aged than by youth. No child should be allowed to smoke before the age of 21. Wine has been said to be the milk of old age; 1t should not be used until past the noon of life. That the German census shows a reduction of old men since the war with France IS natural. The age of industrialism of city life. of strain. of al- cohol and of the veneral diseases, with increase of tabes dorsalis and general paresis. is the present age of Germany. as it is in the United States. Only the sedate and temperate in all things can expect length of days.

A Japanese woman was free and indepen- dent, the same as a man. unless married. The Japanese constitution had however not yet favored her with political suf- frage. She could be the head of a family and exercise the authority due to her position. and she could exercise parental authority as mother. if her husband was dead. If single, or a widow she could adopt, or If married, she was entitled to being called upon to give consent to an adoption by her husband.
