The real estate agent was endeav-
oring to impress Mr.. Potter with
the extreme desirability of the
house in Hubedge. He opened the
door at the head of the cellar stairs
with flourish.
"We'll 60 down if you like" he
said briskly, "but you can see there's
everything anybody could wish in a
suburban cellar-hard cement bot
tom, whitewashed sides, good coal
and wood bins, approached by raised
platform; furnace the same, set
tubs the same"
"What's the need of those raised
platforms you speak of 2" asked Mr..
Potter, peering into the darkness,
Handy in the spring and fall
rains" said the agent. "Shows the
advantage of this location, that
they're al! you need. Street below
this, I'm told, small boat goes
with every cellar, but We don't han
die that street at ALL"

FLAGS IN THE NAVY.
Each Vessel Must Have ESQ on Hand
All the Time.

"Did you ever happen to think
when you saw Il cruiser or battle
ship dressed in its full outfit Of
flags what big item flags must be
to the navy" an official of the na-
Wy department recently remarked,
'Just think of how many vessels,
large and small, there are and that
every one has TO be supplied with
$50 flags, which have to be renewed
every three years! The annual cost
is about 500, 900, and hundred wo-
men are kept busy at the BROOKLYN
navy yard the year around.
"The foreign flags are rather
elaborate as rule, especially the
American republics, and their cost
is consequently considerable. Each
ship must have forty-three foreign
flags constantly on board, the stand.
ard size being 20 by 13 feet. The
cost of making one will depend upon
the design. A simple flag, as that
of France, costs comparatively lit
tie, while to make that of Salvador
means just $52 so. it being a yerita-
BILE landscape. China's flag amounts
to about $40 and that of Costa Rica,
which runs to scenic effect, nearly
$50,
"The largest American flag used
is 10 by 3G feet and costs $40. There
are eight sizes of the American fiaa
used altogether, and they are less
expensive than the foreign flags by
reason of the fact that they are
largely machine made. There is a
special machine that cuts out the
stars, stamping out 100 at every
stroke.
"Then there are the special flags
OF the president the secretary and
Of the flag officers. That Of the
president, while simple, means long
and careful work. This flag Is a
blue field, with the arms Of the
United States in the center. The
design is entirely hand embroidered
with the finest silk and requires
month Of constant effort" New

The Fan.

The history of the fan is almost as
old as the history Of the world. One
might almost imagine Eve Haunting a
primitive fan of palm leaves or feath-
ers in the garden Of Eden. The Egyp-
tians used fans of strange shapes made
OF parchment or plumes at their re-
ligious ceremonies. The Romans used
flabelluIn. n cort of circular fan, on
occasions of state, and the early Greeks
had fans made of the fiat leaves of the
lotus. The Chinese and Japanese have
always been great fan lovers and lavish
Infinite care upon their decoration.
Men and women use them alike. These
fans are of painted and embroidered
silk, gilded paper, ostrich or peacock
feathers, with sticks of violet wood
sandal, ivory or pearl. Queen Eliza
beth owned almost as many fans as
dresses and had mania for collecting
them. Her subjects were in the habit
of Offering these trifes TO their regal
mistress. Nine. de Pompadour loved
fan and encouraged the art of fan
painting. Her collection of fans was
enormous. Greuze, Vatican and other
renowned painters did not disdain to
lend their art to fan painting. 1t was
mostly executed on chicken skin or

WHocPIMG COUGH.
How TO Handle This Distressing and
Danuerous AiInnent.


II is strange how little is thought
of whooping cough and how little
care is taken to prevent it, for it is
in truth dangerous disease. The
mortality statistics show that more
children die from whooping cough
than from measles. Scarlet Fever
alone among what are called the dis
eases of childhood causes a greater
number of deaths.
A child with whooping cough
should be as strictly isolated as if
he had scarlatina, and it is very
wrong for mother to take her in
FAINT with this disease on boats or in
cars, where it is likely to carry in
fection to others. An older child
should be kept away from school
and not allowed to play with other
children, except such as have al
ready had the malady.
1t is usually easy to recognize
whooping cough after the disease is
fully established, for the paroxysmal
cough, going on and on and on until
the child's breath is all but gone
and then succeeded by the long,
noisy inspiration, is unmistakable.
The disease varies so greatly in
severity in different cases and in
different years that it has been sug-
gested that it would be wise to ex-
pose children to the infection in a
year when its course was mild. But
it is a very serious thing to expose
a child deliberately to the dangers
of any disease of this nature, for
even in a year of the mildest epi-
demic an individual case here and
there will be severe and even fatal.
When it is said that over seventy
drugs have been recommended in
the treatment of whooping cough it
may be assumed that none of them
has been found very efficacious. This
is not to say that much good may
not be obtained from certain medi-
cines, such as quinine and belladon-
ma, for example. Yet the main re-
lance in the management of case
of this disease is on hygienic meas
ures.
Although the patient must be
kept away from school and from
other children, it must on no ac-
count be kept in the house. Fresh
air and sunshine are the best agents
in the hygienic treatment. City air
is better than none, but it is best
when possible to send the child to
the country, where it can be out
doors all day and not be forced to
inhale dust and smoke. In stormy
weather, when one must perforce
stay indoors, the play'oom windows
should all be wide open, and the
bedroom windows should also be
open.
The food should be plentiful and
nourishing, and whenever the stom-
ach rejects a meal the patient
should have another at once-a at
least a glass of milk and some bread
and butter Youths Companion.

1t is interesting to note that the
choice of white for wedding dresses
is comparatively a modern fashion.
The Roman brides wore yellow, and
in the most eastern countries pink
is the bridal color. During the mid
die ages the renaissance brides wore
crimson, and most of our Plantage-
net and Tudor queens were married
in this vivid hue, which is still pop
ular in parts of Brittany, where the
bride is usually dressed in crimson
brocade. 1t was Mary Stuart who
first changed the color of bridal gar
ments. At her marriage with Fran
els III. Of France in 1553-which
took place not before the altar, but
before the great doors of Notre
Dame--she was gowned in white
brocade, with train of pale blue
Persian velvet six yards in length.
This innovation caused quite a stir
in the fashionable world at that
time. 1t was not, however, till quite
the end of the seventeenth century
that pure white, the color hitherto
worn by royal French widows, be-
came popular for bridal garments
in England.-Church Eclectic.

One of the most interesting
Raphaels in the National gallery is

Hardly larger than sheet of

the qualities, in all their pristine
loveliness and radiancy, that we
have learned to look for in the ear

On the ground lies the knight
asleep. Near him stand two female
figures, the one offering a flower,
the other book. while in the back
ground one sees one of those adora-
bic little italian landscapes that are
half the charm of the old pictures.
The flower or the book. the prim-
rose path of dalliance or stern wis

through all our history. Herakles
has the same tale attached to him.

High Priced Rumblsbsss.

Many years ago the farmers of
Australia imported bumblebees from
England and set them free in their
clover fields. Before the arrival OF
the bees clover did not flourish in
Australia, but after their coming
the farmers had no more difficulty
on that score. Mr. Darwin had
shown that bumblebees were the
only insects fond of clover nectar
which possessed proboscis sufii-
ciently long to reach the bottom of
the long, tubelike flowers and at
the same time body heavy enough
to bend down the clover head so
that the pollen would fall on the in
sect's back and thus be carried off
to fertilize other flowers of the
same species. The bumblebees sent
to Australia cost the farmers there
about half dollar apiece, but they
proved to be worth the price.

bears fruit as large as a small
orange. Each nut contains three
triangular seeds, similar to small
Brazil nuts. The oil is pressed
from these seeds, and the refuse is
used as a fertilizer. The oil is used
principally for polishing woodwork
and dressing leather. Considerable
quantities are exported, The wood
of the tuogshu is used for making
musical instruments, fine boxes and
the framework of small houses. 1t
