CIVIC FLAG OF LONDON.
Significance OF the Signs and Devices
Upon Its FOIds-A Wat Tyler
Tradition.

When the familiar red and white nag
Of the city Of London waves over Brus-
sels-the mayor of that town having ez-
crossed a wish to see it floating proudly
beside his own-the good people OF the
Belgian capital will no doubt be consid-
erably puzzled to know what meaning
attaches to its markings, and especially
to one, woven in red, in the top left-hand
corner. We refer to the dagger" as II
is generally caned-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 80 far as to state that the
strangely employed weapon had some
thing to do with Wat Tyler" but even
they would be incorrect, although 1t
must be admitted that they have been
most consistently misled on the point,
says the Pail Mall Gazette.
The nag is reproduction Of the shield
which occupies the center Of the city
arms and 1t has been commonly be-
lleved that the dagger" was added to
the red cross by Richard II. 'in CON-
memoration Of Wat Tyler's insurrection
and the death Of the rebel in Smithfleld
by the hand Of the valiant mayor" The
belief in this tradition has no doubt
been fostered by an inscription still to
be found on a statue Of Sir William
Walworth, preserved on the staircase at
Fishmonger's Hall. 1t runs:
Brave Walworth, Knight, Lord Mayor, u
Slew
Rebellious Tyler in his Alarmes.
The King, therefore, did give in lieu
The dagger to the Cityes armes.
In the lth Year Of Richard H., Ammo DOM
mi 1871.
But controverting facts are more stub
born than even the brave knights blade,
aud the dagger is, forsooth, no dagger at
all, but representation Of short sword
emblemstical Of ST. Paul, the patron
saint of the corporation. This view has
been supported by careful examination
of an interesting series of bosses still
existing inthe eastern cryptat Guildhall.
They are Of early date, and among them
are representations of the shield and
dagger, while one bears two swords
crossed saltirewise, which Is taken as
another emblem associated with the
apostle In addition to these there Ia
historical fact which puts all ques-
lions as to Wat Tyler's connection
With the dagger beyond doubt The
new seal upon which the perfectly
craven shield" appeared land which
would have taken at least four months
10 design and engraVe) was brought
in by the mayor on April II, 1881, or
two months before the death Of Wat
Tyler, which occurred on June Is in
The same year.
Mr.. Arthur Charles Fox-Davies, the
well-known author Of Public Arms"
also says the Wat Tyler story is q
fine piece Of fiction" but adds that
even this wild legend" was surpassed
by the fury with which anti-popsry IA
natics attacked Sir Stuart Knill on one
occasion in the belief that he had
ylaced st. Peters cross upon the
city arms. They we're so short-sighted,
says the author, that they mistook the
sword for a cross turned the wrong
way up.
Those quaint people, the heralds, de-
scribe the flag as Argent, a cross
gules in the first quarter, a sword In
pale, point upward of the last"

The Panama Revolt.
st. Paul Globe.

st. Paul Globe.
The declaration of independence by the
states of the isthmus is only what every
one felt to be inevitable in case the Gov.
eminent of Colombia failed to ratifY the
canal treaty. The people of Panama have
indeed, behaved well about it, The mat
ter was vital to them and to them only.
The representatives of the rest ofthe coun-
try might lose the canal by holding out
for big bride, and not be greatly the
worse for it. But to Panama it would
mean the loss of the greatest opportunity
in her history. Yet the people there have
waited quietly, without threat or distur'
bance, until hope for them was gone.
Then they de dared themselves.
No doubt this will reopen the canal
negotiations and assent to any conditions
that we may choose to set. We will get
better terms than we asked. Panama will
get her canal. Columbia will lose all that
che hoped to gain in the way Of business
and booty, and the most valuable part of
her possessions besides. This IS the APP.
parent situation at the present time, and
II is prospect that will be welcomed with
10 regrets. Panama has found the only
possible solution of the vexatious canal
route problem.

Stepped Against a Hot Stove,

A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when
getting his usual Saturday night bath,
stepped back against hot stove which
burned him severely. The child was in
great agony and his mother could do
nothing TO pacify him, Remembering
that she had a bottle Of ChamberIain's
Pain Balm in the house, she thought she
would try it. In less than half an hour
after applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and less than two weeks was well.

to be al old fashioned remedy for Group,

Cough Remedy is better, and does not
cost so much. 1t causes the patient to

THE SILK INDUSTRY
How the Tariff Has Built Up a Great
Manufacturing Industry


Richmond Times Dispatch" tDem)
The silk industry in the United States is
steadily on the increase. According to
figures recently given out by Frenchman
writing from New York there were in 1870
eighty-six silk mills in the United States,
representing an investment Of Sc, 2S5,O 900.
In 1900 the plumber of mills had increased
te 4S3 and the capital invested was $Sl,
100000. In 1902 the number of mills had
increased to 500 and the capital to 500,
100000, and 1t is estimated that at the end
of this year $4,000 steam looms will be i'll
operation in the United States.
In 1870 the value Of silk products in
this country was Sl4, 900, 900, and in 1902
i, lad increased to 1925, 100000. But in
spite Of this the importations of silk have
increased from 1924, OOO,0O IN 1870 to $780,
coo ,000 in 1902 In 1860 we manufactured
but & per cent. of the silk worn by our
people; in 1880 We produced 50 per cent;
~ 1890, So per cent, and in 1902, SIS per
cent.
1t may be argued that we are spending
too much money for silks, but it is also to
be remembered that the silk industry
gives employment to many men and
women, and if the welltodo did not pur
chase silks the industy would soon de-
