no matter In what part of the world
two vessels may meet each can refer to
its books and learn the line or company
to which the other belongs.
There is a new blue flag with q
white triangle rising from the bottom.
1t is never seen except In the north.
When this flag is flown a ship at a dis
lance realizes that the other is jammed
helplessly in an Ice foe.
When Lost or Disabled.
If ship pauses in her voyage and
runs up a blue jack at the foremost
she tells you frankly that she is lost
and needs a pilot. If she is at sea
and meets a foreign vessel she may
run up the international signaI-the
P flag, which is blue, with a white
square in the center; the I, a square
red, white and blue flag, and S, a
square white flag with a blue square
in the center.
If a ship runs the ensign up the
main rigging she is asking to be towed.
She is helpless.
At night when flags, of course, can
not be seen an electric signal lamp is
commonly used. This is operated by
pressing a thumb piece. Various colors
are flashed from the lamps correspond
ing to the flags used during the day.
If you happen to be out at sea you
will notice that the tobacco chewing
salt keeps his eyes fastened on all ships
that cross the horizon. If they are
close enough to signal one may run up
the code pennant and square white
and black flag under it. The ship says !:
"Stop and come near me. have some
thing to communicate"
The other ship to reply In the af-
frmative runs up white pennant with
a red circle In the center.
Sometimes the captain Of a ship In
which you are travelling may run up a
flag asking another ship to come near
him. He may wish to buy or borrow
some provisions.

this ship seems to cry: 81 am unclean.

creditors of its approaching departure
so they may present any claims against
the vessel.

A Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DIR. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering inSe,+he composition Of his widely
celebrated hedicjhes. Thus he has taken
his numere6s patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved hiS/fnedicines from among secret

BY this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that MS formulas are Of such excellence

EDUCATION IN PERSIA.


Oriental children have their marbles
their skipping rope, and little toy
pIows. into which cats and kittens are
harnessed for play. They enjoy life
fully as much as do American chill
dren, declares the author OF persia by
a Persian" When the boys are 10
years old they arc sent to school, In
the nearest mosque. Parents will some
times take a boy to school and deliver
him over to the gentle care of the
teacher with these words: "Hls bones
are mine, but his flesh is yours. Teach
him and punish him as you see fit"
When boys go to school they usually
sit in two rows. One row sits along
one wall, books in hand, and the other
row along the opposite wall. The
teacher sits in the middle Of the room.
They do not use chairs, but sit on the
floor, which is covered with reed mat
ting. When they are studying their les
sons they sway their bodies backward
and forward, as If they were in a rock
ing-chair, and read with a loud voice
in singsong style, as if they were
chanting.
They have neither blackboards nor
states, but use paper and reed pens In
learning 10 write. They put their left
knee on the floor and set their right
one up for a desk to rest the paper on.
They use the Arabic alphabet, and
read and write from right to left, In
stead of from left to right. They also
begin their books at the back, reading
forward. The ability to read a single
Persian book is considered In Central
Asia to be the sign of a liberal educa-
ton. The attendance at school is vol
untary, no one being compelled to send
his boys If he prefers to keep them at
home

education far more and incidentally
improve their minds In the knowledge
Of those things which belong to their

For 1t is a popularity of the scrip

fact that marks as such an important

inces Of the empire that the new tesla

that he would overtax his heart unless
he quit. The man tried to quit, but
was powerless, and Mrs. Marsh took
the matter into her own hands.
After a little experimenting, she
found she could make from flour and
powdered sugar an excellent substitute
so far as taste and appearance went,
and this she gave her husband in lib
eral doses. At first she mixed few
grains Of the sleeping powder with the
sugar and flour, but soon this was not
necessary. Every time she gave her
husband a dose he went to sleep, but If
she failed he would lie awake.
Finally, a few days ago, she told
him Of the ruse. Now he sleeps with

KNOWLEDGE OF THE BIBLE.

Necessary to Appreciation of the
Best in Literature.
1t Is not at all too much to say that
it is impossible to regard any man or
woman as we'll educated who is ignOr-
ant Of the Bible.
1t has so thoroughly interviewer it
salt with our daily speech that we are
continually using scriptural words,
phrases and illustrations without be-
ing the least conscious Of it; the best
orators of the day seldom make a
speech without quoting scripture; the
law Of the land is founded upon It, so
that lawyer must know his Bible as
we'll as his Blackstone" and his Coke
Upon Littleton'-or whatever the mod
ern equivalent Of those legal authori-
ties are.
1t is impossible for any one to read
fine English literature Intelligently I'M
less he is familiar with the Bible.
What appreciation could one have Of
Shakespeare, Of Milton, Of even skepti-
cal Byron, or, in facr, Of any of the
great English poets unless one under
stood the scriptural imagery and phra
ses to be found on almost every page?
And Macaulay is one or the most con-
spicuous examples among prose writers
of the use of biblical references which
he fully expects his readers to under
stand. Yet, Notwithstanding all this,
young men who would be ashamed to
confess ignorance of Greek and Ro-
man mythology and literature do not
know their Bible, and Of them Mr..
Phelps says: 1T is certainly unfor-
tunate that the best book ever printed
should be so little known and that the
frequent references TO 1t in practically
every English author should be SO
meaningless to our young men"
IL these days, when persons who
aim to be considered intelligent ana
well read form classes for the study Of
every author Of any considerable repu-
tation might it not be well for them
now and then to organize classes for
the study of the Bible?

RUsE CURES HUSBAND OF HABIT.

Flour and Sugar in Place of Drug
and He Is Well.
When Henry Marsh of Bristol, VT,
was recovering from typhoid fever last
summer in an Albany hospital, he
couldn't sleep, and the physician In
charge administered a powder each
night. This was a mild remedy, sweet
to the taste and resembled flour In ap-
pearance. When he left the hospital
Marsh was still troubled with insomnia
and procured from a nurse the name Of
the substance he had been taking. Be
fore returning home he bought some Of
the stuff, and thereafter took 1t before
retiring.
AS a result Of this indiscretion March
became addicted to the drug, and would
lay awake all night unless he took
some. In order to obtain the desired
effect, he was forced to increase the

Like everybody else who goes to the
iEthmus, Secretary Taft returns with
the conviction that the job Of digging
the canal is a great deal bigger than
he expected 1t to be, but that 1t pre-
sentS no insurmountable difficulties.
The Secretary does not for a moment
doubt that we shall complete the canal
and within a shorter time than has
been estimated. He warns enthusi-
asts, however, that the quality Of pa
thence will be required before the work
Is accomplished. All of which is In
accord with the conclusions Of those of
Us who never have seen the canal but
have some idea of the task that has
been undertaken. We shall dig the
canal, all right, but we shall have some
intervals Of Encouragement during the
process

Many writer's on esthetics and art
have dwelt upon the close relation be-
tween religion and poetry. Some Of the
great poets have been creators of re-
llgious thoughts, and others the medi-
ums Of making religion appear beauti-
ful. 1t IS interesting that the first
organization to take formal notice Of
Whlatier's centenary, which falls on
Dec. IL next, is the American Mission
airy Association. 1t will invite the Con-
gregationaI churches to unite In the
celebration. Whittier was a mission
airy himself, fighting the good fight for
Justice and liberty. And in his early
manhood a poet who expressed minor
Ity opinions as vigorously as he did
was In danger Of mob violence. There
is no finer image in our literature than
that of the calm, gentle Quaker blazing
into passionate devotion to freedom and
ringing pleas for right

tion? You probably have If you have
ever taken a sail on the lakes or the
ocean.
Then, too, no doubt, you have no.
ticed strange signals floating from the
masts of water craft. Perhaps it has
been a combination Of flags or basket
sWaying from the masthead or an ar.
rangement Of lanterns at night
Whatever the signal, each means
something to those versed In the
strange language Of the water-a Ian
guage to be understood by the eye
alone.
Yes, ships actually converse with one
another. Two ships meeting In mid
ocean can say, "HoW do you dor
"Come close, we wish to shake hands
with you," or, in fact, anything they
wish to communicate can be done by
the use Of signal flags.
II you should be running a launch
and see a ship coming toward you with
q long, pointed flag Of three red and
two white stripes fiuttering over g
white and blue flag indented at the
end by all means get out of the way
The vessel says to you:
II am coming on full speed. Gel
out of my way or l may run over you
Get away now, little fellow. l have
full right to speed ahead"
So you will have to steer out Of the
course of the vessel with all the speed
you can.
Almost any kind Of communication
can be sent by running up flags repre-
senting letters Of the alphabet Com.
binations make certain messages. Most
Of these are contained in the interna.
tional code signal, which Is used by
ships sailing in all parts Of the world
There are also many local signals

When a vessel approaches a water ter

masthead those In the vicinity read the
sign to mean, az wish a cargo" This
signal Is used largely by the oyster
carrying boats of the bays.
Among fishing craft and in many
harbors where water is peddled from
vessel to vessel by water boats bucket
dangling from the masthead means II

Garry Broom First Voyage.
When a new vessel, fresh from the
building yard, starts out proudly on
her maiden voyage broom is usually
carried at her masthead. When this

When the sailor at sea observes in
the rigging of a distant craft the ma
honal flag flying upside down or ball

streamer he Immediately begins prep
arations for rescue. For these are dis
tress signals and they call in the Ian
guage Of the sailor for help.
No other call at sea is so potent.
When a sailor sees a distress signal

On the signaling craft there is probably
great suffering-men fighting flames as
the fire eats it's way through the engine
room toward the oil tanks, or strug-
Cling to save a sinking ship; perhaps
the boat has been sailing about without
provisions, the men starving. MisfOr-
tunes often befall a ship and she is
required to signal for help from some
passing vessel.
Perhaps you have noticed an ap-
preaching tug with two lanterns, one
above the other, suspended from the
rear mast.
These may not have meant anything

There is an international code of sig
mailing by flags which is understood by
seagoing men of all countries These
signals consist of twenty,siX flags-one
for each letter Of the alphabet-and a
general code pennant, which is always
hoisted above the signals to attract at
tention. 1t is sort Of telephone hello
When a code pennant is flown alone
from the masthead it becomes an an

TatOOing.

Tattooing, or the custom of perma-
nently marking the skin with colored
designs, is of ancient origin. This
practice is forbidden In the scriptures,
SO it may be inferred that 1t was Gus
tomary among other tribes than the
Israelites. The custom Of tattoOing
among civilized nations is fast dying
out, though there are a few establish
ments to be found where it is still done.
Among these is one on the BOWery IN
New York, where the operator adver-
tises performing the operation in thir-
teen different colors.
Tattooed marks have played an i'm
pOrtant part in the conviction and &C
quittal of criminals. The absence on
the claimant of these marks known to
have been on the body Of Roger Itch
borne was an important point in the
famous Tichborne trial, and there are
many incidents on record where tat
tOoed marks have sent men to the gal
lows or stayed the hand Of the execu-
toner.
In some countries tattOoing had a
religious significance; but In olden
times 1t was practiced merely as
method of adOrnment. The Japanese
and New Zealanders are famed as ex-
pert tattooers, and a good workman
can cover a mans back with all man
ner Of elaborate designs In a single
day. Some authorities assert that tat
toOing was put on the body in ancient
times as a substitute for clothes.
