ADJUSTMENTS
The Coon Show.

IF Wise and Milton viii pardon the
familiar expression used at the head
of this it will not be going too far to
say that the Cocoon Show at the
Orpheum is the best seen here in many
moons. The oldtime minstrel show
during the week end was a feature
much enjoyed by the patrons, more
than it was enjoyed by the hundreds
who had failed to secure seats in ad-
vance and were, consequently, turned
away. There is to be an entire change
in the program to be presented tonight
and most enjoyable entertainment is
promised those who are fortunate
enough to get inside the doors.

Flad Proportions.

In the United States flag the width
Of stripe is invariably half the length
I'm inches of the flags longest measure
ment. For example, in a flag ten feet
long the stripes should be five inches
wide. Accordingly the flag would have
width Of five feet five inches, or thir-
teen times five inches. The field
should be of navy blue bunting meas
uring seven stripes deep and extending
two-fifths across the length Of the flag.
There should be forty-six stars on the
field, arranged In six rows, beginning
with eight, the two middle rows hav-
ing eight and the last row eight and
the other rows seven. The size Of the
star at its widest measurement should
be such that one-half Of its own width
will separate it from the next star.
Flags may be made in all sizes, but
the above proportions should be pre-.
served.-Philadelph Press.

The Hunter and the Wind.

In hunting against the wind in open
forests more game is passed than
many hunters would suppose. The an

pass them and hide by getting as near
to the ground as possible. If they
scent him after he has passed they
evidently realize that the danger is
over. though some, mostly the younger.

Where game is very wild it is often In
such localities as | have mentioned
only possible to approach them with
the wind by outdistancing the latter,
because big game animal at rest de-
pends on its nose to save 1t from dan

A Disappointing Witness.

Deacon Stephen Potter. one Of the
pioneers of Utica, N. Y, was a man
Of great eccentricity, but high moral
character. "The deacon will speak the
truth and shame the devil" was often
said Of him.
On one occasion a friend was en-
gagged In lawsuit in regard to some
land few miles from Utica. He held
the land at high price. During the
trial he called Deacon Potter as a wit
ness to prove how valuable the land
was. The deacon was sworn and
asked if he knew the land.
"Yes," he replied. 81 know every foot
of it."
"What do you think it worth, Mr..
Potter?" was the next question.

The smokestacks on ocean vessels of
recent years have been made to slope
backward more particularly to give the
steamer a rakish air. the masts also
being given the same slope. AS to the
effect on the draft. there is slight
one, as the wind pressure on the front
of the stack sloping up and over the
top Of the stack is more apt to draw
the smoke out than to cut 1t off. but
from all we are aware of this seems
to have been held of secondary con-
slderation. The shape of the smoke
stacks also is changing from round to
oval SO as to present less surface at
the front. If you compare the steam
ers with the sloping and straight
smokestacks, in one case the former,
while motionless. still appears to have

The Dazzling Searchliaht.

On a dark night no warship wcull
be safe from torpedo attack but for
the searchlight. The full moon lights
up n torpedo boat so that 1t can be
fired at when nearly n mile away. To
produce the same illumination with
the most powerful artificial light an
electric are of 100000 candle power

light and an ingenious arrangement
Of mirrors 1t is possible to surpass
the moon. Searchlights are now made
which throw light distance of sixty
three miles, but objects can be seen
only few miles from the source Of
the light. The effect on the enemy Is
most demoralizing. When the bright
beam is suddenly thrown on the eye
the pupil contracts violently; when the
beam is removed the eye can see moth

Biornson's Advice.

There is story told Of Bjornstjerne
Bjornson that. arriving at late hour
at the town Of Bergen, which was en-
fete to receive him, he vouchsafed to
the expectant people no finer words
Of wisdom than general recommen-
dation to go to bed.
In vain they appealed to him for
"song or sentiment" The great Bis.
marck, said he, gave the same advice
under conditions all similar. and what
was good enough for Berlin must suf-
fee for Bergen.
Three years later, on visiting the
town for the second time, the master
novelist found deserted city. Not a
light burned in the dismal railway
station, no banners waved, no address
cs were read by portly burgomasters.
In vain Bjornson asked for cab.
"They have all gone to bed" was
the reply. And so Bergen remembered.

SLEEP SUPERSTlTIONS.
How to Awaken at Any Hour You May
Designate.

Sleep is the best cure for waking
trouble. Hours for sleep:
Nature gives five,
Custom seven,
Wearness takes nine.
Lazness eleven.
If you wish to arise at n certain
hour, before going to bed make with
your right foot as many marks on the
floor as the hour ON which you wish
to wake, then go to bed backward.
To insure happy dreams burn some
package, which you must place be-
meath your pillow. You will then dream
sweetly.
If you wish ever to marry, never
look under the bed
If person talks in his sleep, put his
hand in bowl Of water and he will
tell you all his secrets.
The Hindoos say it is bad luck to
sleep with your head to the north, but
sleeping with your head to the south
promotes longevity.
1t is considered by some nations dan
gerous to sleep while thirsty, for the
soul leaves the body In search of wa
ter, and if the body awakened too
quickly the soul might, not have time
to return to 1t, so the body would die.
