Original "old Glory"

The American national flag was
named "Old Glory" in 1881 by William
Driver, skipper hailing from Salem,
Mass, and captain of the brig Charles
Doggett. Just before leaving Salem
for the Southern Pacific ocean, a
young man presented Captain Driver
with large and beautifully made
American flag. When it was sent
aloft the captain christened it "Old
Glory" After retiring from active
life, Captain Driver settled in Nash
vile, Tenn, in 1887, and the flag that
had accompanied him to the Pacific
was displayed from the window of his
home. At the beginning of the Civil
war 1t was fired upon. Then it was
kept out of sight until February "a,
1862. when General Nelson appeared
at Nashville with division of the
Union army. Captain Driver presented
the flag tod the general to be hoisted
on the capitol. After the war the
original "Old Glory" was carefully
treasured. And on the death of the
captain in March 1886. the flag was
presented by the compiled of the "Dri-
yer Memoir" to the Essex institute at
Salem, Mass, where it is now secure
ly kept.

cred serpents of India are nine Mil
ton says the gates of Hades are thrice
threefold, and that the fallen angels

BOOK

In the Hands of Chinese Barber.
All BARRIERS may not know it, but
theirs Is business dating back to
Biblical days, and even beyond that.
Their office is mentioned in Ezekiel
81:
And thou, son of man, take thee a
sharp knife, take thee BARRIERS
razor, and cause it to pass upon thine
head and upon thy beard"
The average American barber is
obHging and anxious to have you for
steady customer. but in order to un-
derstand how obliging barber really
can be it is necessary to study Chi
nese barber. He begins by carefully
washing the victims face, ears and
head with very warm water, wiping
Off the dripping parts with a wet
towel. He then shaves the head, or
rather around the crown where the
queue begins commencing right over
the right ear and moving along until
the forehead and lower part of the
back head are cleaned
He next passes to the face and
afterward to the neck. The ears are
shaved and carefully brushed out with
delicate brushes and ingenious instru-
ments. The face, neck and head are
then washed and rubbed until the skin
assumes healthy pink.
The next operation is to manipulate
the head and neck till every cord and
muscle has been stretched, pinched
and pulled, after which the shoulders,
arms and back are scientifically pound
ed and pulled. The queue is then I'M
braided. combed and cleaned. and
again braided and put in place.
Occasionally, when barber desires
to show great attention to a distin.
guished customer, he rubs and pulls
his fingers and even his toes until the
joints crack. This last for an hour.

TaIIest of Trees.

In New South Wales, Victoria and
Tasmania, grows a species of gum
tree. which probably represents the
tallest Of all trees of the globe. The
loftiest specimen of this tree yet
measured towers to the height of All
feet. A PROSTATE tree, measured in
Victoria. was 420 feet long and the
distance from the roots TO the lowest
branch was 295 feet. AT that point
the trunk was four feet in diameter
and $50 feet from the butt the diane
ter was still three feet. The wood of
this tree is hard and OF good quality.
1t grows quickly. and yields great
quantity of volatile oil from its leaves,
Which are very abundant.

Wire Mileage In United States.

The annual report Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company
for last year says that 100000 miles
OF wire We're added to the lines. max
Ing total mileage Of 100000. Some
idea of what this total means may be
grasped when we calculate that this
length Of wire could be wrapped
around the earth 500 times and that it
would make 80 separate lines from the
earth to the moon, but there would
not be half enough wire TO reach from
the earth to our nearest planetary
neighbor. Venus.
