The S,ar-Spa.gied Banner.

Our nations fla is hoisted ut the
main Of all our ships OF war. Some peo'
pie believe that the use of the stars and
stripes in our flag was suggested by the
escutcheon Of General Washington,
which, curiou sly enough, bears both
these emblems.
The great beauty Of our flag is very
generally recognized by other nations.
When il was first carried by an Amer
lean ship into Chinese waters, the Chi
nese thought it was as beautiful as Il
flower, Everyone hurried to see Kaw-
Kee.Cheun, or the llowcr-hag-ship, This
name at once became a part OF the Chi
nese language. America is still called
by the Chinese, kaw-Kce.kah or the

Colonel w, +, Swi,zlor, the father OF

nation: In lS2l, when Missouri was
admitted into the Union John w. Walk.
CT, aItcrward the third treasurer of the
state, lived down IN the panhandle
country where he owned thousands Of
acres OF land, well stocked with horses
and cattle. When the boundary line OF
the state was established he had pull
enough TO have his property included

courts for completely in the wholesale

SOME GOOD APPLE DISHES.
Of This Toothsome Fruit So Many
Savory and Novel Dishes Can
Be Connected.

Many choice, healthful and appeti2ing
dishes may be made of apples, and with
\ this fruit now in the market at reason
able price all the year round. 1t is
valuable feature of the regular market
ing list.
To stew apples, pare apples, cut them
into quarters and remove the cores;
place into a porcelain pan or kettle,
cover with sugar and add the juice OF
half lemon and few bits of the yell
low rind. Cover with boiling water and
simmer gently until tender. Dish care
fully and serve cold.
For apple meringue, peel, core and
bake seven apples till soft, but do not
allow them to become broken. Beat the
yolks of three eggs, add three table
spoonfuls of sugar, pinch Of salt and
one pint of scalded milk. Pour it over
the baked apples. Bake till the custard
is firm. When cool, add a meringue
made of the whites of three eggs, beaten
till foamy; add three tablespoonfuls of
powdered sugar gradually, flavor with
lemon and beat stiff.
Set the pudding dish on some founda-
| ton in the oven-a board will do--and
brown the meringue. The whites should
be cool and beaten until foamy, but not
stiff Then add the sugar slowly, in the
| proportion of one tablespoonful for each
egg, and beat stiff enough to keep shape.
To make apple omelet, steam tart
apples, mash and drain quite dry. Take
one pint of the pulp and mix with the
yolks of three well beaten eggs, one
cupful of sugar and the juice of half a
lemon. Then add the beaten whites.
Brown one cupful of soft, fine crumbs
in one Tablespoonful of butter in pan.
Butter plain mould thickly with cold
butter and sprinkle the bottom and
sides with as many of the bread crumbs
as will cling. Fill with the prepared ap-
pie, cover with buttered crumbs, bake 2(
minutes in pudding dish and serve hot

.DODo IN NATIONAL MUSEUM
Perfect Skeleton of the Extinct Bird
Has Been Placed on Ex- ssg
hibition.

The national museum has acuuireda
dodo. The curators have been casting
about for new material to exhibit at tho
Lewis and Clark exposition, at Port
land, Ore, next June Their time being
limited, they are obliged to move as
swiftly as possible, in order to get to-
gether an adequate display by. the ap-
pointed time. Orders have been placed
with the great London and Paris houses
for geological, archaeological and pale-e
ontological rarities, as result of which
the museum had an offer recently of
complete and perfect skeleton Of that ex-
tinct bird, the dodo, formerly native Of
Reunion and the lie de France, in the Ins
dian ocean, which was at once accepted.
The dodo, or rather his handsomely
mounted and very complete skeleton,ar
rived Monday, and is now the chief orna-
ment on Dr. True's office mantelpiece.
The dodo was a species of giantpigeon
which inhabited the slandsAaforesaiti ia
the days before Columbus, Magellan. De
Cana, Marco Polo, and other great ex-l
plorers. Having no enemies with which
tocontend, the bird had degenerated, un-
til by the time the whites arrived 1t had
lost both the power Of flight and defense.
and soon fell prey to the white man and
his gun, as well as to his cats, dogs and
pigs, which were early introduced in the
lie de France to the destruction of the

Eat Lots of Almonds.

Juicy fruits gave the same in less pro-

Apples supply the brain with rest.
Prunes afford proof against nervous
ness, but are not muscle feeding. They
should be avoided by those who suffer
from the liver. But it has been proved
that fruits do not have the same effect

To Senator Beacon of Georgia is as
cribed the credit of evolving the most
marvellous sentence ever emitted in de-
bate in the senate. II was when the ag-

combination of words off when discus
sing the strip question. 1t is asserted
that no man can parse the sentence and
that only Bacon could have emitted it
without falling by the wayside. Read:
The senator will probably remember
that last year when this matter was be-
fore the senate we had some little COLO

the article to become an article of gem

marketable, explaining, as did, all the
time, that while this strip had been made
for century all through that part of the
country and successfully, it was made
simply by farmers for their own use and
for a little local consumption, so that al
most as many different processes were
used and as many different producers;
that in consequence when an article of
the kind was put upon the market no.

was without sampling it, and it was the

THEY DON'T PLAY POKER.
Statesmen at the Nations Capital
Take No Part in the
Card Game.

1t was form srly quite the thing to
tell stories about big spoken games
among the members of congress. Much
was said about the senatorial game"
"millionaires' game" and the CON
gressional game" and always we heard
about great punches of money chang
ing hands, bluffs as high as the banks
OF the Mississippi, and all sorts of
stories.
Frequently, says the Washington
Post, the senator, representative, dip
lomat or rich man was named, and the
winnings or losses told with as much
gusto as if they had really happened.
There were some pleasant poker games
in days gone by, and occasionally some
wonderful plays, but one night, with a
few interesting incidents FINISHED
material for month of stories.
Some Of those who figured in the
poker stories became annoyed at the
notoriety they gained and abandoned
poker entirely. For many years now
there has not been enough poker in the
capital to hang story on.
