AIabama's State Flag.

Over the historic capitol at Mont.
gomery waves not the national flag,
but the Alabama flag, and not one Ala
bamian in a thousand would recognize
it if he saw it elsewhere than on the
capitol. The flag in question has no
history woven into it, for it was not
adopted until 1895. It presents a St.
Andrews cross in crimson on a white
field. Such a cross is shaped like a let
ter x, and the books suggest that the
apostle Andrew died on cross of that
design. Few if any other states In
dulge in flags Of their own. A flag is
the symbol Of sovereignty, and state
sovereignty IS limited by the federal
constitution. When we were part of
Georgia we granted to the federal gov
ernment the executive power of pun
ishing treason, and if any one becomes
traitor to the Alabama flag we might
have to call in the federal government
in order to punish him.-Birmingha

pirx..,s PEAK In snm er.

The first part Of the road to Pixies
peak is through q picturesque ravine
with beautiful mountain. torrent roar
ing and leaping through it. This ra-
vine is a popular walk, and one sees
many climbers who shoot their kodaks
as the train passes until one knows
exactly how it feels to be a celebrity.
As one goes on the climbers become
gradually fewer, and after three or
four miles they are left behind. Sud-
denly new turn in the road shows
that the first foothills have been sur
mounted and that we are climbing the
vast bare side of the peak itself. The
track stretches toboggan-like far ahead.
Great views unfold. One looks down
on lonely wooded valleys, where blue
lakes glisten, on the tops Of the noun
tains and over mountains to the plain
that stretches away like the sea- 1t
has grown cold, and patches Of snow
begin to appear. Ehe date is Aug. 1,
but in the snow heaps on the summit
we shall soon be snowballing one an
other.-Four Track News.

Thomas j. McGillivary, the

then be advertised for, and as

The Formation of Coal.

Many different theories are held by,
biologists to account for the formation
of beds Of coal between strata of rock.
The simplest of them is that vast
masses Of wood, such as grew in the
carboniferous age Of the earth's de-
velOpment, We're sunk under the sea,
that deposits of silt upon them changed
to rock and that by some uphaayal Of
the earth the bottom Of the sea was
lifted above sea level. Such upheaya1
occurred in remote geologic ages in the
Mississippi valley. all the central parts
Of which Were undoubtedly at one
time covered with water and formed
an arm of the sea. Tie one thing GER
tain about coal is that by one process
of nature or ano. hcr#it has been con-
yerted from the giant trees which grew
in the carboniferous age of geology.
How many thousands or millions of
years that was nobody knows. All
that is known about the duration of
different geologic ages Of the world is
that they were long.

The Lone Star of Texas.

The origin of the Lone Star flag Of
the republic Of Texas is not entirely
clear. The claim has been made that
1t was unfurled in the present territory
Of Louisiana in 1910, but other search
ers cannot find earlier trace Of it than
the presentation Of such a banner to
the company Of Captain Andrew Rob
inson in May, 1885. Still another claim
is made for flag unfurled at Velasco
Jan. 8, 1896, and said to have been
made by Miss Troutman of Nashville,
Ga. One story has it that the star
came from the fact that Governor
Smith, for lack of a seal, used brass
button from his coat which bore five
pointed star.-St. Louis Republic.

The Tongues of the Balkans.

Too many languages are spoken in
the Balkans. A traveller in that region
writes Of the babel: Turkish, Bulga-
rian, Serbo-Croatian, Roumanian, Ar
menian, Greek, Albanian, Kulzo- Wal
lachian, Chingeni, the language Of the
gypsies; Spaniole,, the language Of the
Jews of Spanish or Portuguese descent,
and the language spoken by the Ger
man, Austrian, Roumanian and Rus
sian Jews. Add to this Arabic, Per-
sian and Syrian, largely spoken in Con-
stantinople; italian, on the northeast
coast of the Adria; Russian, in the
northeastern parts Of Roumania; vari-
GUS Austro- Hungarian idioms spoken
In Bosnia and Herzegovina and the
Caucasion languages Of the Circassians
and Georgians." Not one Of these Ian
guages is of common use.

Effects COrOnerS.

Attorney General B. T. Young
has decided that under the new
code county coroners, in the per
formance Of their duty, may not
collect more than 10 cents per
mile for necessary travelling ex-
penses. This opinion has been
fled at the req quest of some of
the county auditors in the north
ern counties. It is claimed that
in some of the northern counties
where a coroner has to visit the
scene of the accident, for in
stance where more than one per
son happened to be killed, he
would collect mileage for each
individual examination. Here
after no matter how many per-
sons are killed in one locality,
the coroner cannot collect more
for necessary travelling expenses
for Investigating the death of
more than one person at one
place than he could for investi-
eating the death of one person.

NY Wife's Family.

In some respects my wife's
family,' which comes to the
opera house June l6, is one of
the most original productions
ever given on the stage in Be
midi. In the first place, the
authors, Stephens and Linton,
have taken the mother-in-la law
theme. which is commonly
supposed to have been worn
thread bare, and upon it con-
structed a farce comedy abso
lutely novel in the variety of it's
situations and it's bright and
witty lines. The plot deals with
the efforts of young husband to
get rid of a horde of his Wife's
relatives and in his frantic effort
to accomplish this end he enlists
the assistance of a friend, a man
about town. Their mistakes and
hair breadth escapes fill three
acts Of delightful absurdities and
complications, only interrupted
now and then by the introduction
for the sake of variety of a musi-
cal or dance number, to give the
audience rest from laughter.
Appleton and Ferry, the two
wellknown comedians, play the
parts of the young husband and
the friend who is trying to help
him get rid of his erfriendly
relatives, and they work in a lot
of incidental comedy dialogue, as
we'll as a deliciously ridiculous
automobile and keep things NOV

port is good throughout and in

Dramatic Detail.

Sir Henry Irving was accustomed to
visit at the home of Miss Friswell, au-
thor of In the Sixties and Seventies y
in which volume appears the following
anecdote: "My mother often used to
point out little details that had been
overlooked. remember one in The
Bells, which my mother told Mr. 1r-
wing on the first night when he re-
turned to our house to supper. People
who have seen the play may remember
that the first scene is a small inn and
that there is supposed to have been a
deep fall of snow. The innkeeper, Mat
thias Grving, walked in on that first
night in ordinary black boots, with no
snow upon them. My mother spoke of
it, and afterward Matthias wore high
black boots and stood on the mat while
the snow was brushed off, Remarks
were made in the papers as to Mr.. Ir-
ving's attention to the minutest details,
and this was cited as an instance"

The Word tsCapsize."

Etymologists are driven to pure con-
lecture to explain the origin Of the
word 'scapsize.' One of them suspects
that it comes from the Spanish Ian
guage, as SO many sailors words do
and may be connected with "cabe-
GEAR" to nod the head in sleep or to
pitch as ship, and with scapuzar un
baXel," to sink ship by the head
''cabeza" meaning head. Another guess
based on the fact that "capslze' is an
English dialect word for moving a
hogshead by turning it over alternate
ly on to it's two heads-is that the word
Is simply "cap,' a head, and "seize."
