CUSTODIAN OF THE FLAG

Pleasant Berth at White House for a
Naval Petty Officer.
Lieutenant David f. Sellers Of the
navy has been charged with the deli
cate and important duty Of finding q
suitable petty officer in the navy for
assignment 70 duty at the White
House in charge of the national flag
displayed over the residence of the
President. AS is we'll known, the flag
is used to indicate that the President
Is at home. It Is raised at sunrise and
lowered at sunset in strict accordance
with military regulations. Different
sizes Of flags are used according\to the
weather, from a small storm nag to
the standard post flag.
Owing to the many mishaps which
have occurred in the past to the flag
on the White House, it has been con-
cluded that its proper use and care is
a sufficient duty for one man. Hereto
fore the raising and lowering of tho
flag has been intrusted to one of the
men around the house having numer-
GUS other duties to attend to, conse-
quently it has happened that the flag
has been flowing in distress, that Is,
with the Union down, when there was
no occasion for such a signal, and at
other times the man in charge has for
gotten to raise or lower it at the
proper times or to change it to suit
the changed conditions of the wealth
er. To meet these conditions, which
have sometimes proved embarrassing,
1t has been decided to have q capable
man at the White House, whose sole
duty it shall be to look after the flag
In looking for such a man it was
natural the authorities should favor
ably consider the selection Of a petty
officer Of the navy, as all such officers
have had at least twenty years ser
vice on shipboard and are thoroughly
familiar with all the regulations and
customs governing the display of the
national emblem. Lieutenant Sellers
Is one of the Presidents military aids
and he is also connected with the ell
listment division of the bureau of nav
igation, and so Is we'll informed re-
garding the records Of the men from
whom the selection is to be made. The
choice will undoubtedly fall upon
some man who has rendered conspic-
uously meritorious service, and who
may, by receiving this pleasant assign
ment, receive some recognition for his
services.-Washing Star.

girls college.
t''These results which are shown at
Tufts may not be borne out by the
Western colleges which had had CO.
education for a much longer period
than we have had it, and they may be
better able to judge of its true results"
The students at Tufts have explana-
tons Of the conditions also. The men
hold, on the one hand, that the sexes
under the conditions grow to know
each others peculiarities TOO well to
fall In love with each other, while the
women in their turn say that the true
reason Is that romance is wholly want
ing.
One Of the professors at the college
supplemented President Capen's re-
marks by saying that in his opinion
the veil Of mystery which the class
room removes is, after all, the prime
factor In bringing men and women to-
gether.
''There is an old saying" he con-
tinued, "that If you want to cure a
lovesick couple let them eat three

NICHOLAS l. OF RUSSIA
Great Man Scared Out of Greatness
Epecter of French Revolution.

Great Man Scared Out of Greatness by
Specter of French Revolution.
In reviewing this first Of my so
journs in Russia, my thoughts natur-
ally dwell upon the two sovereigns-
Nicholas l. and Alexander II. Tie
first of these was a great man scared
out Of greatness by the overcoming
specter of the French Revolution.
There has been much to make him a
stern reactionary. He could not but
remember that two C1ars, his father
and grandfather, had both been MUIR
dered In obedience to family necessi-
ties. At his proclamation as emperor
he had been welcomed by a revolt
which had forced him
To wade through slaughter to a
throne
a revolt which had deluged the great
parade ground Of st. Petersburg with
the blood of his best soldiers, which
had sent many Of the nobility to ST.
IBERIA, and which had obliged him to
see the bodies of several men who
might have made his reign illustrious
dangling from the fortress walls oppo-
site the winter palace. He had been
obliged to grapple with a fearful in
surrection in Poland, caused partly by
the brutality of his satraps, but mainly
by religious hatreds, to suppress it
with enormous carnage, and to substi-
tute a cruel despotism for the moder-
ate constitutional liberty which his
brother had granted. He had thus be-
come the fanatical apostle of reaction
throughout Europe, and as such was
everywhere the implacable enemy of
any evolution of liberty. The despots
of Europe adored him. AS symbols of
his ideals he had given to the King of
Prussia and to the Neapolttan Bourbon
copies Of two of the statues which
adorned his Nevsky bridge-statues
representing FESTIVE horses restrained
by strong men; and the Berlin popu-
lace, with unerring instinct had given
to one of these the name Of Progress
Checked" and to the other the name
"Retrogression Encouraged" To this
day one sees everywhere in the palaces
of continental rulers, whether great OF
petty, his columns of Siberian porphy.
~, bowls of jasper or vases of mala
chite-signs of his approval of reac
ton. But, in justice to him, it should
be said that there was one crime he
did not commit-a crime, indeed, which
he did not dare commit; he did not VIC
late his oath to maintain the liberties
Of Finland. That was reserved fol

sian throne

WONDERFUL. NATURAL BRIDGE
Solid Arch Over Three Hundred Feet
Wide Spanning Utah Canyon.

Solid Arch Over Three Hundred Feet
q" Wide Spanning a Utah Canyon.
Here, across canyon q measuring
three hundred and thirty-hve feet
seven inches from wall to wall, IA
ture has thrown a splendid arch Of
solid sandstone sixty feet thick in the
central part and forty feet wide, leav-
ing underneath 1t a clear opening three
hundred and fify-seven feet in per-
pendicular height. The lateral walls of
the arch rise perpendicularly nearly to
the top Of the bridge, when they flare
suddenly outward, giving the effect
of an immense coping or cornice over
hanging the main structure fifteen or
twenty feet on each side, and extend
ing with the greatest regularity and
symmetry the whole length Of the
bridge. A large rounded butte at the
edge of the canyon wall seems partly
to obstruct the approach to the bridge
at one end. ....
The majecttc proportions Of this
bridge may be partly realized by
few comparisons, Thus its height Is
more than twice and its span more
than three times as great as those Of
the famous natural bridge of Virginia.
Its buttresses are one hundred and
eighteen feet farther apart than those
of the celebrated masonry arch in the
District of Columbia, known as Cabin
John Bridge, few miles from Wash
ington City, which has the greatest
span Of any masonry bridge on this
continent. This bridge would overspan
the Capitol at Washington and clear
the top of the dome by flfty-one feet.
And If the Hottest tree in the GALAXY
eras Grove of giant sequoia in Cali
fornia stood in the bottom of the can
yon, Its topmost bough would lack
thirty two feet Of reaching the under
side Of the arch.
This bridge is of white or very light
sandstone, and, as in the case Of the
Caroline, filaments of green and
orange-tinted lichens run here and
there over the mighty buttresses and
along the sheltered creyices under the
lofty cornice, giving warmth and color
to the wonderful picture.-Century.

Colors that Are Not Easy to See.


What color is least easily seen at
distance? One would naturally say,
some dull neutral tint, a somber gray
or brown. This has been the conclu-
sion of most military men, and our
brilliant dress uniforms have given
way for practical campaigning to
khaki and other dull colors. Is this a
mistake? Possibly so, according to
the results obtained in recent expert
ments in England. 1t has been found
there that masses Of dull color are very
much more conspicuous at a distance
than mixtures of bright tints. For ill.,
stance, a battery Of field artillery
whose carriages and caissons were
decorated with strips of red, blue and
yellow could be made out with difi-
Guilty at a thousand yards, while other
batteries painted a uniform brown or
drab were easily seen at great dis
tances. 1t would seem as If, on the
same principle, regiment OF gayly
dressed troops might be less easily
visible than one wholly CARRIED in dull
colored khaki.-Success.

Cost Of Firing Cannon.

Modern naval warfare is one of
the most costly things that can be
imagined, and a combat between two
fleets means the expenditure of vast
sums of money. Some idea of the
high cost can be arrived at by taking
a japanese warship, like the kasuga
or Nysshin, and calculating the mum
Der of shots she would fire, say, at
Port Arthur.
One of these guns, says Leslie
Weekly can fire two shots a minute
and every shot costs 500. Thus in
FIVE minutes these four cannons can
discharge forty bombs at cost OF
$1,000. The smaller cannons cost
each $4,000, and every shot they
fire means an expenditure of $50
They are very rapid and it is est
mated that IN five minutes the twelve
cannon could discharge shot to the
value Of nearly $4,000.

dollar back for farm produce and
spent it again with BRENNAN mer-
chant Four times in SIX years that
dollar came home to HIM for
nroduce. and three times he heard
of it in the pockets of his nelghbors
