A Contrary Flag.

If ever there was anything in the
world that went by contraries, it is
the Chinese flag. 1t will be recalled
that it is one of the gayest Of national
standards. The body of the banner is
of a pale yellow. In the upper left
hand corner is small red sun, and
looking at it is fierce Chinese dragon.
About 1000 years ago. so the story
runs, the Chinese made war upon the
Japanese. They prepared for a great
invasion. AS prophecy Of victory
they adopted standard which is that
of the present time. They took the
sun of Japan and made it very small.
This they put in front Of the dragons
mouth to express the idea that the
Chinese dragon would devour the jap
anese. 1t happened. however, that the
Chinese fleet, conveying an army of
100000 men, was wrecked on it's way
to Japan by great storm, and all but
three of the 100000 perished The re-
suit of recent events has not been any
more convincing than the first affair
that the Chinese flag has been cor
rectly conceived.

Give 1T a Chance to Develop by Its
Natural Processes.
The hitler they are the better, be-
cause farther removed from the world

own world A good baby radiates
peace. Every one who is rightly con-
stituted smiles at the sight of it.
They are busy, they are cheerful.
as a rule, they seem to be kind to one
another. They are not bored, and I'M
less the weather is insufferable or they
are sick they are not depressed.
What philosophers! What heroes!
Is it strange that the attitude of an
unperverted child should be the Chris
tan ideal?
The great merit of children as COM
panions lies in the breadth of their
tolerations. They are easy to please,
agreeable to most propositions and not
very critical.
They do not 'know better" That is
one of their delightfulest traits. Chill
dren will trust you, and that is one Of
the most gratifying compliments pos
sible
In the company of children you have
relief in considering what will pay.
The things that they do and prefer to
do, do not pay, as a rule, except in the
doing of them.
Wise elders who are qualified to
train the mind of child are pretty
scarce. The next best thing is the
elder who is wise enough to respect
the child's mind and give it chance
to develop in sympathetic atmos-
phere by it's own natural processes

WALT WHITMAN.
Ways of the Poet Who Was Loved by
All who Knew Him.

ways OF the Poet VINO was AOVeO "
All Who Knew Him.
This is the Walt Whitman who was
known and loved by those who met
him daily:
"After some conversation Whitman
proposed a walk across to Philadelphia.
Putting on his gray SLOUGH hat, he sal
lied forth with evident leisure and, TAX
ing my arm as Il support, walked slow
ly the best part of mile TO the ferry.
Crossing the ferry was always a great
pleasure to him. The life of the street
and of the people was so near, so dear.
The men on the ferry steamer were
evidently oil friends. and when we
landed on the Philadelphia side we
were before long quite besieged-the
man or woman selling fish at the cor
ner of the street, the tramway con-
ductor, the loafers on the pavement-a
word of recognition from Walt or as
often from the other first; presently
a CHEEKY shout from the top of a dray,
and before we had gone many yards
farther the driver was down and stand
ing in front of us, his horses given to
the care of some bystander. He was
an old Broadway 'stager,' had not seen
Walt for three or four years, and tears
were in his eyes as he held his hand.
We were now brought to a standstill,
and others gathered round. George
was i'll, and Walt must go and see him.
There was a message for the children,
and in his pocket the poet discovered
one or two packets for absent little
ones. But for the most part his words
were few 1t was the others who
spoke and apparently without reserve"

AN OLD GERMAN LEGEND.
The Skull With the Nail Driven
Through It's Temple.

The Skull With the Nail Driven
Through It's Temple.
At Freiburg, Baden. in front of an
old chapel rich in medieval painting
depicting the rewards of virtue and
the wages of sin, stands great cross,
at its foot skull with nail driven
into the temple.
A shoemaker of Freiburg, according
to tradition, died suddenly in the good
old days before coroners and juries
were too inquisitive and was buried
near where the cross stands. Scarcely
had the earth upon his grave been wet
by the rains before his wife took a Sec
ond husband.
Neighbors talked, but that was all.
One night the priest of the parish
awoke to find standing at the foot Of
his bed the ghost of the dead shoe
maker. The CHASTITY figure raised a
CORY lock from it's forehead and point
ed to nail driven in the temple.
The body was exhumed, and there
was the evidence of the crime just as
the specter had indicated. The wife
confessed the murder and was execut-
ed. But the skull was placed at the
foot of the cross as warning.
1.-THE effect was most wholesome"
relates the truthful chronicler, ''for
since then not wife of Freiburg has
murdered her husband"

AN ODD WAGER.
The Peculiar Bet a Foreign Prince

The Peculiar Bet Foreign Prince
Laid and Won In Paris.
Gambling has always been favor
lite occupation for the sons of royal
houses, but none of them probably
has ever exhibited so much wit and
ingenuity in his betting as a foreign
prince did at his stay in Paris.
He laid heavy wager with mem
Der of the Imperial club of the French
capital that within two hours he
would be arrested by the police with
out committing any offense or pro-
voking the officers of the law in any
fashion. Accordingly, having clothed
himself in rags of the most disreputa-
BILE appearance. he walked into one Of
the most aristocratic restaurants in
the city and ordered a cup Of choco-
late. The waiter refused to serve him
unless he" showed evidence that he
could pay. The prince at once drew
a roll of bank notes from his pocket
and offered one of large denomination
to the astonished attendant. The lat
ter took the bill and carried it at once
to the proprietor. who sent for the
police, in the meantime allowing his
strange guest to be served.
AS soon as the authorities arrived
they arrested the incognito son of roy
atty and took him to the nearest sta
ton, where Of course he was released
after he had disclosed the facts of the

WORKS OF A WATCH.
All the Parts Are hut the Expression
of One Idea.

All the Parts Are but the Expression
of One Idea.
To one who has never studied the
mechanism of a watch it's handspring
or the balance wheel is a mere piece of
metal. He may have looked at the face
of the watch, and while he admires the
motions of its hands and the time 1t
keeps he may have wondered in idle
amazement as to the character of the
machinery which is concealed within.
Take it to pieces and show him each
part separately, and he will recognize
neither design nor adaptation nor rela-
ton between them, but put them to-
gether. set them to work, point out the
offices of each spring, wheel and cog.
explain their movements and then
show him the result. Now he perceives
that it is all one design; that, notwith-
standing the number of parts, their di-
verse forms and various offices and the
agents concerned, the whole piece is of
one idea. He now rightly concludes
that when the handspring was fashion
ed and tempered it's relation to all the
other parts must have been considered;
that the cogs on this wheel are cut and
egulated-adapted- the ratchets on
that, ETC., ard his final conclusion will
be that such piece of mechanism
could not have been produced by
chance, for the adaptation of the parts
is such as to show it to be according &c
design and obedient to the will of one
intelligence.

Fifty Miles to Market.

1t is not an uncommon thing in
France to see farmer forty or fifty
miles from home in wet weather with
load. If he sees a prospect of a
three days rain, he puts his tarpaulin
over his load, a cover over his horses
and a waterproof coat on and starts
off to market He may go fifty miles
before he finds a market that suits him,
or he may know in advance just where
he is going. You do not often see any
body driving fifty miles through rain
storm in the United States to find a
market for a load of hay. but it is not
uncommon to see farmers wagons for
ty or fifty miles from home in France.
They choose the wet weather for that
purpose. Their roads are just as good
then as at any time

John Bright was once asked how it
was that Pitt made one of his finest
speeches after drinking two bottles of
port. John Bright was. as usual equal

verbatim reporting was unknown in

other members of the house. on whose
opinion Pitts reputation largely de-
pended, had probably drunk three bot
ties.
