Peacocks' Feathers.

Peacocks' feathers have been handed
down to US from the ancient days of
mythology as emblematical of treach-
cry, evil and misfortune. The origin
of this strange superstition is founded
upon the following classical story
Osiris. king Of Egypt, upon starting on
his Indian expedition left his queen,
Isis, regent, with Argus, his minister,
as her chief adviser Argus, with his
hundred eyes. or, rather, his spies, soon
made himself so formidable and power
full that he seized the queen regent,
shut her up in strong castle and pro
claimed himself king of Egypt. AIer.
curry was sent against him with a
strong army, took him captive and cut
off his head. whereupon Juno meta
morphosed him into peacock and set
his spies in his tail. From this legend
and the various additions made to ii
from time to time the belief has arisen
that 1t is unlucky to have peacocks'
feathers inside a house.

Fire Insurance Folks.

A young Englishwoman introduced a
new phrase to a New Yorker the 9th
er day. She had been telling Of her
home town. of it's extraordinary sane
timoniousness, until her hearer asked,
'Why. what sort Of folks live theref'
"Oh," she said, they're all tire in
surance folks"
1t didn't seem that any one commu-
nifty could be made up Of people in
one line of business. and the hearer
asked for an explanation.
Why" came the answer. fire in
surance folks are returned colonials
who lived abroad and have committed
every crime in the calendar. Then
when they get old they come and try
to square up by living six years OF
the most painful piety. That's why
we call 'em fire insurance fOlks."-

That Easy Three Hundred.

Soon after Senator John Sharp Will
liams arrived in Washington some
years ago as a member of the house of
representa- tives a man on the staff of a
magazine approached him with re-
quest for an interview Of thousand
words on the outlook for the Demo.
cratic party. Rejecting that at that
time the outlook was anything but
bright, Williams said:
"Ill dictate it to my stenographer
and mail it to you"
A month later the magazine man
stepped up to Williams and handed
him a check for $780,
as that for me?" asked Williams
quizzically.
"Yes, sir"

FRENCH AND GERMAN COLORS
Supposed Origin of the TrieolOr and
the Teuton Flag.

the Teuton Flag.
For Eve centuries black and white
have been the Hohenzollern colors, and
the first verse Of the German war song,
"Ich bin Elm Preusse," is:
am Prussian! Know ye not my BAN
ner?
Before me floats my flag Of black and
white!
My fathers died for freedom; twas their
manner
So say these colors floating In your
sight.
The mercantile marine tricolor of
black, white and red is emblematic of
the joining Of the Hohenzollern black
and white with the red and white,
which was the ensign of the Hanseatic
league. This flag came into being
when the North German Confederacy
was established, Nov. %, 1867. at the
close of the Austro-P Prussian war; The
red and white represent the CONNER
cial prosperity Of the nation, while the
black and white symbolic the strong
arm of the state prepared to protest
and foster 1t.
Nowhere have historical events caus-
ed so much change in the standards
and national ensigns of country as in
France. The orifamme and the chape
de st. Martin were succeeded at the
end of the sixteenth century, when
Henry III, the last Of the house of
Valois, came to the throne, by the
white standard powdered feur-de-lis
That in turn gave place to the famous
tricolor which was introduced at the
time Of the revolution. but the origin
of that flag and its colors is disputed
question. Some maintain that the in
tention was to combine in the flag the
blue Of the chape de St Martin, the
red of the orifamme and the white flag
of the Bourbons. By others the colors
are said to be those of the city of Paris.
Yet again other authorities assert that
the flag is COPIED from the shield of
the Orleans family as it appeared after
Philippe Egalite had knocked off the
eur-de-lis-Kansas City Star.
