Flag Lockers of Big Hotels.

Nowadays the flag lockers" of the
big hotels are almost as important as
are the same receptacles on seagoing
vessels. In addition to a supply of the
national emblems to fly on all the
staffs on the roof and the one that pro-
trudes from the main entrance, each
hotel usually keeps in its flag locker
a fairly complete set of flags of the
great Powers, that they may be ready
at hand when some dignitary of one of
those countries stops at the hotel.
These lockers are always in charge Of
one man, who is responsible for seeing
that the flags are hoisted and lowered
at the proper time.
Naturally every hotel, even the big
ones, does not keep the flag of every
nation in its locker, and when an emf
nent parsonage comes from one of the
smaller States the man in charge Of
the flags HES him to a decorator and
rents the desired flag for as long as the
necessity lasts.-New York Press.

carpenters and joiners, clerks and car

attorney especially to represent them,

ceeds anything of the kind known be-
fore, and that the remotest places in
Europe, India, South America and else
where, wherever goats are kept, are
now visited by itinerant collectors to
obtain them. This demand arises from
the recent discovery of new methods
Of treating the skins, which not only
makes them preferable to calfkid as
shoe leather, but also renders them
suitable fc- use in dress trimming.
When specially dyed and finished, they
