LONDON's CIVIC FLAG.
What the Signs and Devices Mean-A
Wat Tyler Tradition.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Pail Mall Gazette.
When the familiar red and white flag of
the city Of London waves over Brussels
the mayor or that town having expressed
a Wish TO see u floating proudly beside
MS oWn-the good people of the Belgian
capital VIII no doubt be considerably puz-
1ied 70 know what meaning attaches to Its
markings. and especially TO one. woven in
RED. in the top left-hand corner. We refer
10 the dagger, as il is generally called
the presence of which, by the way. very
few OF those who were either born or live
within the sound of Bow Bells can explain-
Some might go SO far as 10 state that the
thing to do with Wat Tyler" but even they
would be incorrect, although ii must be
admitted that they have been most consist
emily misled on the point.
The flag is a reproduction of the shield
Whlcn occupies the center of the CITY arms.
and IT has been commonly believed that the
p9asseI Vas added TO the red cross by
Richard III I'm cOmmemoratiOn of Wat
Tyler instruction and the death of the
reuel In Smithield by the hand of the. val
iant mayor. The belief in this tradition
has. no doubt. been fostered by an inscrip-
ton stlu TO be found on a statue of Sir
William WalwOrth, preserved on the stair
case at FishmOnger's hall. 1t runs:
Brave Walworth, Knight, Lord Mayor. vt
Rebellious Tyler in his Alarmes.
Tbs King, therefore. did give in lieu
The dagger to the Cityes armes.
In the 4th Year Of Richard III Ammo Domini
1881.
But eontroverting facts are far more
stuooorn than even the brave knights
blade. and the dagger Is. fOrsooth. no DAG
ger al all, but n representation of a short
sword. OF St. Paul. the patron
saint OF the corporation. This view has
been supported by a careful examination of
an interesting series OF bosses still existing
in the eastern crypt at GuiIdhaI. They are
or early date, and among them are repre-
sentatives or the shield and dagger. while
one bears two swords crossed saltirewise
which is taken as another emblem associ-
ated with the apostle. In addition to these
there Is an historical fact which puts all
question as to Wat Tyler's connection with
the dagger beyond doubt. The new seal
upon which the perfectly craven shield"
appeared (and which would have taken at
least four months to design and engrave)
was brought IN by the mayor on April II.
1881, or two months before the death of
Wa Tyler, which occurred on June Is in the
same year.
Mr.. Arthur Charles Fex-Davies, the we'll
known author of Publ Arms" also says
the Wat Tyler story is a fine piece of
fiction but adds that even this wild
legend" was surpassed by the fury with
which anti-popery fanatics attacked Sir
Stuart Knill on one occasion in the belief
that he had placed a ST. Peters cross upon
the city arms. They were so shortsighted.
says the author, that they mistook the
sword for a cross and turned the wrong
way up.
Those quaint people, the heralds, describe
the flag as Argent. a cross gules in the
first quarter, a sword In pale, point up
ward. OF the last"

THE wIFE'S POCKETBOOK.
Women Disagree Regarding the Best
Method of Domestic Finance.
The Housekeeper

The recent convention of the South Caro-
lima women's clubs was enlivened by a dis
cussion of the wife's right to a private, IN
dependent income. A majority or the ueie,
gates being agreed that every husband
should make his wife a regular allowance,
apart from the sum advanced for mousse
hold expenses, the question then arose:
How large should the allowance be! A GER
tain definit percentage of his income, ar
gued some. But how large a percentage!
Ten per cent. said some. Five. said others.
Let the percentage vary ACCORDING 10 the
cost of living in various localities, was sug-
gested. There is nothing in this world so
helpful to individuality as the being able TO
stand alone, and not lean on any otner, de-
clared one earnest woman See the glow
in the baby's face when she is able to bal
ance herself on her little feet. We women
feel the same exhilaration when we nave
our money, to do just as We please with,
and nobody asking, why, what did you DO
with that twenty-five dollars i gave you
last week? or (shall L whisper itD that %
cents / gave you last month";
But there is another side OF the question,
and as presented by a famous woman of
learning and good works 1T deserves a re-
spectful and thoughtful hearing. Il don't
want more. The ideal marriage is an equal
partnership, financial and otherwise. L
should no more think of stipulating for ten,
or twenty. or thirty dollars q month spend
ing money than | should of stipulating for
two pieces of pie at dinner every day or a
second cup of coffee. The basis of every
true marriage is absolute mutual cOnf1-
dence. The wife should feel that the words,
with all my worldly goods / thee endow.'
are more than a sounding phrase. put in
the ceremony for effect. She should feel
that all her husbands income Is hers as
well as his, to use wisely for h best inter-
est of themselves and their children. For
the sake of convenience 1T may be that the
husband assumes the role of cashier for
the firm, but the wife is to be regarded as
an equal owner of the income, whatever it
may be. In my opinion. the emancipated
women who Shrek most loudly for an indie
pendent income are really placing the wife
in the light of a salaried employe, instead
of an equal partner. l never feel that I am
begging a gift when / tell my husband that
/ wish a certain amount of money. The
wife who clamors for a certain fixed allow
ance shows lack of confidence that her hus-
band will give her that equal share in his
fortunes to which she is entitled. Don't
marry any man with whom such a disillu-
sioning commercial arrangement is neces-
sary.'
Here we have diametric views on this
vital subject. both presented with anima-
ton and no small show of logic. When
women disagree shall man decide? How
shall a wife's poeketbook be filled?

The most interesting place of pilgrimage

the organ is still 10 be seen upon which
Handel is said 10 have composed his
Messiah In the graveyard is the last
resting place of Robert Emmett, and the
vault of St. Michan's provides a more grew
some thrill than the morgue. The sexton
lifts an iron door and descenf,s a few rude
steps carrying a light. without which the
place would be pitch dark. You follow
and find yourself IN a narrow passage. from
which cell-like receSses belonging 10 diff
ferent families branch off. Whether il is
owing TO the extreme dryness Of the sur
roundings or to some mysterious property
of the place, the process of decay has been
arrested. and the features OF persons dead
for two centuries may be recognized from
authentic portraits. Here lie the brothers

almost with the Earl OF Leitrim, who was
murdered about thirty years ago. The earPs
ancestors for hundreds of years back rest
in the same vault. Perhaps the ~strangest
thing about the vault is the fact that, apart
from the weird sensation, there is nothing
