A NEW 46-STAR FLAG
AFTER FOURTH OF JULY.
Admission of Oklahoma Makes This
Change Necessary.

Washington, July 2.--After July 4
all flags made for the use of the gov
eminent will contain forty-six stars in
the field or union, to conform in num-
her to the states. The additional star
follows the admission of Oklahoma to
the family of states, an act Of Congress
in the early part of the nineteenth cen
tury requiring that on the admission of
a new state one star is to be added to
tie union of the flag, to take effect ON
the 4th of July next succeeding such
admission.
The forty.six stars are to be in six
rows, the first, third, fourth, and sixth
rows to have eight stars, and the second
and fifth rows seven stars each. A
great many American flags now flying
from public buildings will have to be
altered.

says; Wire wood is much used as a
iuel' Considerable SCOT collects in the

done on damp day,--or it may be
swept out. A chimney is burnt out by
placing a bundle of straw or similar
material in the bottom of the hue and
firing it. To sweep out chimney, a
small metal ball, about four inches in

pulled up and down in the chimney un-

chimney can be cleaned by brush on
