THE FLAG REVERSED.

4 E10AeFnaA'0 Emblem That Tells Ol
Distress and HoDe.
One Of the frequent sights in the
ports along the eastern coast is that Of
. fishing schooner coming into the har-
Dor with an American flag hoisted at
the mainmast head In its reverse posi-
tion. To the interested spectators that
Dag always brings a pang Of distress.
for 1t means that one or more Of the
crew are missing" through some calam-
ity Of the sea. But to the members Of
the craft itself the signal is not always
an emblem Of woe. The nag Is hoisted,
from their viewpoint, to notify those
concerned that the complement Of the
ship u not fun, and they live on hope
for q long time before they acknowl-
edge that the men who have disappear
ed are really lost
A stranger to seafaring ways asked
the skipper Of one Of these fishing
schooners the other day what the dis
tress signal meant. and he was Get
right by the captain. who remarked in
the most cheerful way in the world:
They're missing out Of tn crew, Of
course, but we haven't given them up
By . long sight Ye see, they may
have been picked up by some other
boat an carried OF to tn other side.
oh, no. We don't give them up just be-
cause we've missed them! It's more
than likely they'll turn up yet"-New

sHoElNG HORSES.

Why This Process, which II Very
Ancient. In Necessary.
4. As sOcn rs the horn of the hOof be-
gins to be worn away faster than it is
renewed by natural growth, and that
+ as soon as the horse is obliged to
do regular work upon ground which
Is not itself in state Of nature or to
undergo more than a voluntary amount
o. travelling under imposed conditions
q any sort Of ground whatever, q shoe
of some kind becomes a necessity.
When shoes Of, one kind or another
began to Ike worn by horses has always
been disputed by learned gentlemen.
Nor perhaps is 1t of much consequence
whether the horses of Pharaoh were
shod or how they were shod when
they perished in the Red sea or wheth-
O. Homer. Virgil, Horace and other
ancient classics" when they are poets,
are to be taken literally rather than
6guratively in the epithets which they
apply to horses. These would no doubt
be considered by farrier to indicate
that reference is made to hoOf gar
nished with some sort of metal.
As for the ingenious observers who
draw inferences from works Of sculp-
ture, they might as well argue that
the heroes and heroines of antiquity
habitually went about winter and sum-
mer mid nodings on"
XenophOn no doubt as a writer of
plain prose and Of works relating to
horsy matters would deserve the most
serious and respectful attention. but
memory fails to recall any remarks Of
his about what we should regard as
properly called shoeing.
Certain projections for the horses
hoof may be mentioned in the works
Of COlumella and Vegetius, and in the
time Of Constantine the Great there is
said to have been known a fOotgear
Cor horses which was fastened to the
pastern. However. the earliest known
specimen Of an iron horseshoe fasten-
ed with nails is said to have been that
which was discovered in the tomb of
the frank King Childeric, who died in
4S1 and whose tomb was opened in
1853.

Land Crabs.

Crabs are generally supposed to live
In the ocean. but there is one species
that lives on the land. 1t is found on
the island of jamaica. in the West In
dies. 1t burrows in the sand some
times two or three miles from the sea.
1t has two long claws. In attacking an
enemy it binds it with one claw, which
Is then thrown off. and then continues
the fight with the free claw. The
crabs stay in the ground during the
day and hunt for their food ut night
They visit the ocean once year to lay
their eggs. They travel by night. when
they are eau lit in great numbers.

SAN FaANclsco's HARBoR.

Perhaps the Nest Notable sSD0tt1e''
Harbor In the World.
Perhaps the most notable bottle"
harbOr in the world is that at San
Francisco. Here is q vast reach Of
water fifty five miles long and In some
parts twelve in width. Into this bay
the tides of the Pacific flow through
the famous Golden Gate. This is .
strait about q mile In width In its mar
rowest part and very deep. The proud
CalifOrnians look out over this serene
expanse and tell you that here is an
chorage for the combined navies Of
the world, which indeed seems q very
mild statement of the case. Aside
from the immensity Of this harbor IA
cility it is interesting to notice that
Calif0rnia's two big rivers after trav-
ersing the great interior valley flow
into this bay. Thus nature has fur
nished two serviceable water roads,
leading from a most notable natural
harbor into the very heart Of rich
farming, mining and numbering region.
These rivers. the Sacramento and San
Joaquin, are of the same commercial
significance to California that the Hud-
son is to New York.
The harbOr at San Francisco is the
more noteworthy because it is the only
one of first magnitude south Of Puget
sound. Between these points Califor-
MIA presents to the orient an inhOspi-
table cliff coast, only occasionally bro
ken by little beach or minor inlet.
Little cOasting steamers make land
ings. it is true. at several points along
this grim front. but it is matter Of
considerable hazard. In some places
along this coast great cranes fixed up
on the cliff hoist people and freight
ashore in baskets. And the daring lit
tie skipper must even then keep one
eye to windward lest a crashing storm
drive in upon him and forever termi-
nate his service on the sea. Thus 1t is
that the two great harbOrs mentioned
must for all time share a monopoly of
the Pacific ocean commerce. One ia
miliar with the Atlantic seaboard can
parallel the situation by blotting out in
his minds eye all the ports between
Savannah and Portland save only New
York and between these in place of the
numerous hospitable inlets substitute a
scarcely broken sea cliff. He will then
have the conditions before him which
give to San Francisco its pre-eminence.

MEANING OF MOLES.

A mole on the right side Of mans
forehead denotes wonderful luck; on
the left side of a woman's forehead,
gifts from the dead.
On the left side of q mans forehead
a mole denotes q long term in prison:
ON the left side Of a woman's forehead,
two husbands and a life of exile.
A man with a moe in the middle of
his forehead has cruel mind. A wo-
man with such a mole is foolish, idle
and enviOus.
A mole on the neck in man or wo-
man promises a long and happy life,
wealth and fame.
A man with a mole on the left side
Of the upper lip rarely marries, and
such q mole in the case Of q woman
denotes suffering.
On the right side Of the upper lip q
mole promises good to both sexes.
