Elana NJ Half Mast.

Ever since 1ags were used in war
It has been the custom to have the
flag Of the superior or conquering ma.
ton above that Of the inferior or van
pushed. When an army found itself
hopelessly beaten 1t hauled its flag
down far enough for the 6ag of the
yictors to be placed above It on the
same pole. This was token not only
Of submission, but of respect. In those
days when a famous soldier died aags
were lowered out Of respect to his
memory. The custom long ago passed
from purely military usage to public
life of all kinds, the Gag flying at half
mast being a sign that the dead man
was worthy Of universal respect The
space left above 1t is for the dag Of
the great conqueror Of all, the angel Of
death. --.------ ----

AreIsnt Dress still Worn,

In the little town Of Munsiedel, in
Bavaria, there exists one Of the most
curious charitable foundations In the
world. One of the burghers, Christie
pher wanner, died in 1851 and left his
fortune for the establishment OF a
home for aged poor. He attached, how
ever, the condition that every old man
who was taken In should wear his
beard and the same cut Of clothes and
cap as he himself used to wear; con-
seduently the ancient pensioners are
still to be seen wandering about the
streets of Munsiedel in the costumes Of
the fifteenth century.

TAKING A CAMERA ABROAD.
A Source Of Pleasure That May Win
Fine and Imprisonment.


Fine and Imprisonment.
II the American tourist carries his
camera to Europe with him he must
be careful to avoid photOgraphing per-
sons, private property aud particular
ly government buildings, forts, docks
and ships without permission. Many
tourists have got themselves into
much trouble 10 this way, especially
In Russia, where the restrictions are
unusually rigid, and in Germany also.
A few years ago Germany passed
special bill through the reichstag deal
Ing with this matter and imposing
heavy penalties upon those who In
fringe the regulations. Damages to
the amount Of $780, with fine of
$3.50 or two months Imprisonment,
will be the fate Of any one who snap
shots a private person, work of art
or the Interior Of a private building
and clrculGtes or publishes the picture
without permission.
Persons In the public eye, such as
members Of the royal family, states.
men. actors and well known divines
are excepted, says writer in Country
Life In America. So, too, are public
buildings and works Of art In public
galleries.
In Italy the camera Of the tourist is
made means Of providing revenue
for that somewhat impoverished coun.
try. If you carry your camera when
on a visit to Pompeli or others of the
recently excavated ruins you may take
as many photographs as you please,
but you are forced to pay a small fee
for each plate exposed.

MEMORY OF sAvAGEs.
Wonderful Feats of tho ZuIus In Con-
Veyina Verbal Messages.

Wonderful Feats of tho ZuIus In Con-
Veyina Verbal Messages.
The memory In savage or unculd
waited peoples is often trained to de
gree very surprising to those civilized
men and women who have grown used
to depending on the written much
more than on the remembered word.
The transmission of whole eplcs, like
the "Iliad," by word Of mouth no
longer seems so incredible when you
read Of the feats of memory of which
present day Zulus are capable.
These people, says Mr.. Gibson in
'"The Story of the zulus," have no
writing and are accustomed to trans
nit messages and record events by
memory alone. This they can do be-
cause their mental impressions are
made especially distinct by reason Of
their acquired or inherited habit Of
giving undivided attention to the sub
ject In hand.
Communication between the British
authorities and the Zulu kings were
almost Invariably conducted by means
of verbal messages carried by natives.
A certain uItlmatum addressed by the
British to Cetywayo was conveyed to
him, not upon paper, but in the brain
cells of the messengers whom he had
sent eighty miles to receive 1t from the
British commissioners
Although the document contained
some 1000 words and was accompa-
MED by much comment on the state
of things 1t was desired to remedy, the
whole was repeated to Cetywayo with
perfect accuracy.
