Signaling at Sea.

The custom of signaling at sea by means of various colored flags is very ancient, and the method seems to have been brought to a degree of develop ment bordering very closely on perfec- ton. Many people have been astonish- ed at the length of messages conveyed In few moments and with the use of but half a dozen flags in various com binations, and when the extent of the language and the complexity of many necessary messages are considered the eighteen flags in the signal flag locker seem very inadequate. However, 1t must be remembered that the signal code utilizes a sort of shorthand, and many long messages, known to be of frequent occurrence, have been con- tracted to a single showing of flags in a given combination. The number Of flags hoisted when signal Is made never exceeds fo,:. With the eighteen flags of various colors, using four for each signal. no fewer than T8642 com binations can be made.

Little Traveler.' Toys.

A lady while travelling about Europe with three small children devised n plan for their entertainment which proved successful, says Good House keeping. A selection of their favorite toys was made. and these were packed together in one of the strong small straw suit cases. This was left in the exclusive care of the largest child. In this way the playthings were all to- gether. and the children themselves were responsible for their safe keep ing. When they grew tired of trav- cling they could open the suit case and take out what they desired without long and wearisome hunt through various articles of clothing. If any of the toys were broken new ones were added to the collection. For such scheme it Is convenient to, include one of the flat folding backgammon boards, not only to play backgammon or cards upon. but because i can be used as a small table.

Children Like Flowers.


 "Children are the flowers of life and the mother a gardener who trains them into beautiful blossoms or useless weeds"
 When Mime. Ernestine Schnmann- Heink. the world famous prima donna, gave voice to this interesting opinion she smiled in pardonable appreciation of the garden which she had raised. It is q product of which any woman might well, be proud. consisting of six sturdy boys and two lovely girls.
 "A little baby Is like a delicate flow er." continued the singer. "We mothers are only gardeners raising either blos- soms or weeds"
 What are the rules for human gar dening?" she was asked.
 ''The same as apply to nature" she smiled in response. "Plenty of sum shine and fresh air are needed in the successful rearing of children and flowers. My boys, and the girls. toos have lived out of doors almost entire ly. In the winter the windows of their bedrooms are opened wide no matter how cold 1t is Tn the summer those who are still here at home with me are out in the open air all day They ride their ponies, play tennis and croquet. and George Washington plays baseball! They have been brought up on the simplest foods--good milk fresh eggs, juicy meats and few sweets"

The Shy Girl.

nc SnJ SlFl
 Only those who have themselves passed through the same experience can appreciate the trials of the really shy girl. Some girls are shy when first entering room or on being in troduced to a stranger. but recover their self possession within a short time, but that is not the kind of shy ness to which reference here Is made The really shy girl Is a victim of nerves. She may be an exceedingly capable young lady, but she shrinks within herself at the bare idea of pub. licity, even the limited publicity of q drawing room. Such n girl needs sym pathetic treatment, but unfortunately she does not always receive it. Some people laugh at her and make her worse, whereas others bestow upon her a kindly, encouraging smile, and thus assist her wonderfully In passing through q trying ordeal. It too ire quently happens that such a girl is pushed forward-thrust into the full glare of the light, so to say-for the purpose of making her accustomed to a crowd of strangers. The idea is that she will have the bashfulness knocked out of her very quickly and be trans formed into u cool, collected young woman. That is a great mistake. A truly shy girl suffers agonies under such an infiction, and she is more de- termined than ever to keep in retire ment. .s- & .-. ,y--rs

To the President

The following are Mr.. Bryan's re-
marks proposing the health of the
President on the occasion of Mr..
Taft's visit to Lincoln:
Lincoln is honored today by the
presence of the highest official in
the world. The Presidents position
is greater than a kings. His au-
thority is more vast than any civil
lied people would entrust toa here
ditary ruler, and be holds the place
not by accident OF birth but by the
suffrages of his country men.
Though in campaigns be is the lead
er OF party, he is after election the
chief executive Of a nation, and his
arm Yields the strength OF ninety
millions OF people. Lifted by voters
to this position Of supreme CON-
mand, he becomes the most exalted
OF our public servants. 1t is fitting
that we, Q group Of the sovereigns
whom he serves, should pay our re-
spects to bin and to the Office which
he holds. ask you to rise, fill your
glasses with the beverage upon
which the Almighty has set the seal
OF his approval and drink to the
health of President Taft, and may
God give him wisdom to discharge
Alright the Onerous duties imDosed
upon him.

w. J. BRYAN DIFFERS
FROM GOVERNOR MANN
Concerning Initiative and Referen-
dunn and Recall

Governor Mann OF Virginia. pro-
testing, in an interview with the
New York Evening Post, against
the initiative and referendum and
recall said: Il should decline to
hold office under such a system. 1t
would reduce the office-holder to: the
level OF puppet. 1t would make
him a reed swayed in the wind by
every breath OF public prejudice.
Such a position would be unsup-
portable, and il il ever comes to
pass in my State l shall retire from
politics. l desire to have nothing
70 do with such a system"
But why should the oficeholder
be reed swayed in the wind?"
Governor Mann's many admirers
will now say that he is a brave and
fearless public official. But is that
really, under existing conditions, a
high compliment? Would it not be
much more OF a compliment il. with
the recall in force Governor Mann
were referred to as a brave and
fearless official? Then there would
be something for the governor to be
fearless OF. And If he were fear
less be would not be a"reed swayed
in the wind by every breath of pub
lie prejudice"
The chances are be would be so
brave, so fearless, and with it all so
well meaning, that even though the
people did not agree with him in
many Of his public acts they would
not recall him.
Instead OF the recall reducing
the office-holder to the level of a
puppet' it puts him on perpetual
trial thus giving him the opportuni-
ty OF proving his fearlessness and
courage in every one of his officia
acts.-The Commoner.
