Flag Poles.

With proper care flag pole ought to
last q great many years in spite Of the
incessant exposure to the clements. OF
course the best preservatiye Of wood IS
paint, and a man who has a flagstaff
which has cost him good sum OF
money should see that it is painted at
least once every twelve months. Flag
poles generally rot at the bottom first
and then have to be taken down to pre-
vent them from falling Of their own
weight.

number or variety of books from which information is sought. Much may be learned from observation. Not so much from trying to remember everything that is passing, but by carefully selecting few of the most important facts. Tt is not the man who has seen the most of the world who knows most of it, but he who has seen what is best worth seeing, and has well considered what he has seen.'
 Sometimes an intimate acquaintance with what is happening in the world is missed through unwillingness to ask questions This unwillingness may arise from a fear of being troublesome, or. again, it may be occasioned by a proper desire to find out for ones self rather than to be dependent on another. Most commonly it Is the result of false pride. To ask for information implies ignorance, and some persons rather than confess their ignorance of a subject and learn something by a reasonable amount or questioning conceal their ignorance and learn nothing

FARMING BY ELECTRICITY.
Farmer of the Future Will Control a
 Switchboard.

From Harper's Weekly.
 According to scientific men, who are calling attention to the great benefits of electro-culture, the farmer of the fu- ture will be a highly skilled electrician. who from a central switchboard at his farm will direct the germination and growth of cabbages, carrots potatoes and other crops. No longer an ignorant laborer or mere machine dependent upon the weather, but, like an engine-driver, regu- lating the supply of energy in the form of electric current according to certain de- termined rules, the agriculturist will take his place with the other larger users of electricity under modern conditions of life.
 This is the prospect held out by a Belgium scientist, Professor Guarini. who

How Fishes Talk.
From St. Nicholas.

From St. Nicholas.
 Fishes undoubtedly communicate with their fellows. Even if they cannot talk" they have other means of com munication that are better adapted to their needs. We know how readily fishes recognize their mates. and how quickly breeding fishes repel intruders of their own or other species. Something besides seeing them. perhaps some sense of which we have no conception, may do this. Many fishes communicate with their fellows by means of sounds pro- duced through the medium of their air. bladders, by grinding their teeth to- gether, and in various other ways.

ALLEGED FLIM-FLAM GAME.
Two Men Arrested and Charged With
Attempting Fraud.

Two men running along Pennsylvania av-
enue about 1890 o'clock today attracted
the attention of pedestrians and policemen
in the vicinity of 14th street, and Police
man Lee placed them under arrest. One Of
the men attempted to break from him, and
1t was necessary for the officer to upset
him in order to prevent his escape.
The men were escorted to the first pre-
cinct station. where they gave their names
as Harry Clark and Robert Monroe. Clark
is the man who was thrown and slightly
injured. Return railroad tickets found on
them indicated that they had come here
from Philadelphia. They were held on
suspicion of having attempted to work the
''fim-fam" game at Fosters souvenir
store 1888 Pennsylvania avenue.
Miss M A. Fox. the clerk in the store
who is alleged to have waited upon them
discovered shortage in the change while
she was dealing with them. and the s. diff
ference was returned to her. This after
noon the men were taken to police head
quarters, where they were photographed
and measured.
During the past year the film fla M game
has been worked in this city number of
times. and those who have been thus VIC
timiZed will be summoned to see if they
can identify the men who were arrested
