THE FLAG. AFLoAT.

intricate Etiquette of the Stars ard
 Stripes In the Navy.
 The etiquette of the stars and stripes aboard United States naval ships is ai- most hopelessly intricate to outsiders, writes Katherine B. Thomas in Joe Chapple's Newsletter. Rigid ruling of life aboard ship requires every of- icer or man on reaching or leaving the quarter deck formally to salute the national ensign, which salute must be as formally returned by the officers of the watch at hand
 All officers and men, however, must stand at attention whenever the Star Spangled Banner Is played unless en- gagged at the time in some duty that ab- solutely prohibits their doing so. This respect must be paid to the national air of any country when an official repre- sentative of that country is aboard ship. Nor does the courtesy cease at this, for at morning and evening col ors all pulling boats when passing near a foreign man of war must lie on their oars, and the coxswain saiutes, stand ing to face the colors in his salute, and steamers must stop their engines.
 When foreign ship of war enters a harbor or passes fortf6cation it Is customary to hoist at the main the flag of the country whose waters it visits and to salute it, and the nearest fort or battery returns the salute. When a foreign warship is in United States waters and fires such a salute 1t is returned exclusively by the nearest bat tery, the United States ships remain ing silent
 Under no circumstances is salute permitted from a United States vessel in honor of any nation or any official of a nation not formally recognized by the government of the United States. and no ship of the navy is permitted to lower her sails or dip her. ensign unless to return a courtesy. On the other hand, when passing or being passed by foreign ship Of war at close range all officers and men on deck are required to salute the foreign flags and the sentries to present arms.

The Man That Was Posed on the Edae

 Through the hilly country of the Basques Harry A. Franck made his way on foot with few adventures, but with many interesting experiences. At the close of one day, he tells us in -Four Months Afoot In Spain," he be- gan to chamber upward into the noun tains that rose high in the darkenfng sky ahead. The night grew black, for the heavens were overcast, but he who marches on into the darkness, if he is not. confused by any artificial lights, may still see moderately well
 It was two hours perhaps after night fall, and the road, it's edge a sheer precipice above unfathomable depths. was winding ever higher round the shoulder of mammoth peak when ness against the sea of obscurity. standing stock still on the utmost edge of the highway.
 -'Buenas tardes,'' greeted him in low voice, almost afraid that hearty tone would send him topplfng back ward to his death
 He neither answered nor moved stepped closer.
 sfYou have rather a dangerous posi- ton, verdad, senor?''
 Still he stared motion1ess at me through the darkness. moved quietly forward and. thrusting out a hand, touched him on the sleeve. It was hard, as if frozen. For an instant re cofled, then with a sudden instinctive movement passed hand quickly and lightly over his face. Was dreaming?

Why the Deaf Are eratsfuI.

A pleasant contrast to the sad fate of Beethoven is furnished by Dr. ThirlwalI, the radical bishop of St David's, who wrote the history of Greece that held the field before the arrival of Grote- In his old age he became stone deaf, but, so far from frettfng, declared that the infrnaity was really a blessing, because ft re- lieved him from the futile converse ton of bores. One day a frie1d, for getting the bishops, deafness, greeted him with the usual, remark about the weather "EhP' queried the bishop ttIt is a fine day!'' believed the friend repeatedly into the prelate's ear.

. Staff, Secretary,-a a Seal or a Min ute Book and Has No Fixed Home.
 Sidney Low, the English writer, calls
 attention to the fact that the British cabinet has really no standing in law,
 though it 4is actually the body which rules England. He makes several in
 teresting statements in describing the situation.
 The British cabinet has long been one of the mysteries of that greater
 mystery, the British constitution To be quite exact, indeed, it is not correct to call it part of the British consti- tuition, for strictly speaking it is un- known to the constitution. The cabinet today rules the country, but it has no legal status. It was not until about 1901 that the word "cabinet'' appeared on the notice paper or other official document.
 A cabinet minister takes the same oath that every prfvy councillor takes, ito be a true and faithful servant unto the kings majesty as one of his najesty's privy council'' and 'tto keep secret all matters committed and re- veaIed unto you or that shall be treated secretly in council" The entire body of the privy council is supposed to ad- wise the sovereign on affairs of state, but to be made privy councillor to- day is practically an empty honor. It is regarded as high compliment, but if privy councillor is not member of the cabinet he hears no secrets and performs no official functions
 All the executive and political func- tions of privy councillors have passed into the hands of those of them who form the cabinet. which is really secret committee of the kings servants who in practice collectively rule the country so long as they remain in of- flee
 "But," as Sidney Low writes in an article in the London Daily Mail. mo act of parliament ever gave them these powers, which could not be asserted or defended in any court of law They are due to prescription, accident and custom.
 Technically the cabinet as a cabi- net can do nothing. It cannot even write a letter or issue a signed order. It has not indeed the means of doing 50, for 1t does not keep a clerk or a typewriter; it has no office, nor has it any money wherewith to buy sheet of note paper. The most powerful and important committee in the world is without a, staff, secretary, seal, a minute book or a fixed location.
 "When a cabinet council sits it has no agenda before it, nor has it any record of what was done at it's last No one keeps the minutes, and it is still deemed a little contrary to etiquette for any minister to take a note of the proceedings or indeed to write anything at the meetings at all.
 'Tn fact, the cabinet council is still treated as if it were nothing more than casual private consultation be tween few of the priyy councillors. It bears the traces of it's ancestry, for it was born over the dinner table
 Ut originated in the reign of Queen l Anne in those famous Saturday din | ners at which select group of the 1 prfvy council assembled to discuss the l affairs of their party without the pres 1

A Lona Way Back.

The earliest authentic date that has been handed down to us was inscribed on the foundation stone of the temple to the sun god at Sippara by Naram- Sin, son of Sargon. This stone was ex- humed by Nabonidus, who reigned over Babylon about 554 B. C., and it is as serted that. .Naram-Sin ruled 3,200 years previously. From these dates we learn that the chronology of Babylon began with the reign of Sargon r., king of Agade, $500 B. c.

 FIRM FORMED
George H. Gallagher and Col. Fred T. Bowler Or ganize Corporation Pre- pared to Construct Any thing

Tentative arrangements were per fected yesterday for the organization of what promises to be the largest construction contracting company in the southwest, to be known as the Gallagher Bowler Contracting com rany. The scope of the concern will include everything from a business block to a railroad, from a mine tip pie to concrete bridge George H Gallagher, who built the Hotel Ad- ans, reconstructed the main building of the state asylum and executed score of other important works, in cluding the erection of Fort WhippIe in 1874. is one of the members of the new concern Col. Fred Bowler who came to Arizona in 1860 and who although he has spent some years in Montana and California always claimed Arizona as his residence, is the other member of the concern. He has just several his connection with the CalZona Mines company, where he was engaged for over two years as general superintendent.
 In few days it is expected the articles of incorporation will be drawn and the new concern will thereupon be ready for business. It is stated that they already have the assur- ance of two or three large contracts and that one of the first moves will be the assembling of equipment such as a concern such as this will need.
 It is planned that in the COnstruc- tion of buildings, MT. Gallagher will have exclusive charge. In the heavier work of building bridges and mine construction, Colonel Bowler will be the supervising member of the con cern.
 The Gallagher Bowler Contracting company will be the first really local concern entering the heavy cOnstruc- tiOn field on a big scale. It will be in the running whenever q large con tract is to be let. It will undertake to do all the construction work about developing mines. It will bid on high way adn bridge construction and will be prepared to undertake the erection of the largest concrete or brick struc- lures anywhere in the state
