FLAG LANGUAGE.

The black flag IS a sign of piracy.
To strike the flag is to lower the
colors in submission.
Dipping the flag is lowering it slight
ly and hoisting it again to salute YES
sci or fort.
The yellow flag shows a vessel to be
in quarantine or is a sign of conta-
gious disease.
A flag of truce" is Il white flag dis
played to an enemy to indicate a desire
for parl2y or consultation.
The red flag in our service is mark
of danger and shows vessel to be re-
ceiving or discharging her powder.
A flag at half mast means mourning.
Fishing and other vessels return with
the flag at half mast to announce the
loss or death of some of their crew.
Flags are used as the symbol of rank
and command the officers using them
being called flag officers" Such flags
are square to distinguish them from
other banners
The white flag is sign of peace.
After battle parties from both sides
often go out to the field to rescue the
wounded or bury the dead under the
protection of the white flag.
If the president of the United States
goes aboard, the American flag is car
ried in the bow of his barge or hoisted
ut the mast of the vessel on board of
which he is.-New Education

TRIVIAL, YET POTENT.
The Tyranny of the Small and the
HelpIessness of Mankind.

HelpIessness of Mankind.
The tyranny of littleness' is the
cruel despotism not of one master, but
of multitude of small ones. Witness
the ironclad sway which any sovereign
ruiz of the kitchen may WELD over
helpless household. What happiness or
misery is bestowed lightly by one who
turns a toaster or brews a pot of cof-
fee,
We are all slaves to millinerS and
tailors. The milkman holds us helpless
In his clutches. The chore man orders
us about. The maid of all work beck
ons. and we follow. We bow and
scrape before the naughty plumber.
We who would strike down mon
archS and measure swords with min
listers OF finance what sorry figures
we cut in the community if sighted by
the laundrymen. We scarce can hold
our own against Il surly railway por-
ter. and it Is but by the courtesy Of
Master Boots that we emerge from
our hotel apartment. And who shall
stand before the overwhelming power
vested in an offended waitcrs We
cannot even mount a trolley car if the
conductor and motorman choose to ig-
more us.
The man who rules the Stock EN-
change cannot rest at night because an
infants voice haniShcs dreams. He is
n victim to the insect world. Who
will abolish the tyranny of flies and of
mosquitoes?
Behold the tyranny of horses, dogs
and cats. 20 which the great ma jority
of mortals submit without Il murmur.
What master is as cXacting as a tight
shoe or torturing collar? \ parrot
or a pet canary can sadly try mems
souls. Yes. things are in the saddle
and ride mankind"
Who will do Justice To the tyranny
of the dcpraved inanimate tas!lmasters?
A diamond necklace changes the his
tory of empires. \ cOurtirr'S cloak
may pave the way to royal favor. \
glove, a handkerchief. a glass slipper
what things to cOnjurc with. Slaves
of the lamp, Slaves of the ring.
All. the supremacy of trivial things,
that one real tyranny to which we all
bow down. Is there no hope that We
may some day throw off the heavy
yoke? Well is it for us to mediate
upon this vital problem which touches
each so closely. And as we mediate
we may grow wise enough to break
some of the multitudinOus Shackels
that hold us spiritlcSS and helpless in
the power of the arch tyrant, Little
Things. Ticknor in BrandUr
