How to Fly Old GLORY.

Some of the people who fly the nag
rom their residences or places OF
business do not seem to know, accord
ing to an old soldier, the respect that
ls due to Old Glory. The rule in the
army and navy is that the Stars and
Stripes are never flown after sunset,
nor before sunrise, and civilians are
supposed to observe this, though there
's no law to make them do so. AS
natter of fact, some flags are kept up
all night.

DOUBLE REPORTS IN FIRINa
Curious Effect Produced by Use Of
Maxim slIsncer During Target
Practice.

Taking as his text the double report
noted during the firing on the battle
ship North Carolina during the recent
aerial target practice, Hiram Percy,
Maxim writes: Our experiments
with the Maxim silencer have devel.
oped many other interesting cases.
For example: II rife equipped
with silencer is fired down q rail.
road track having telegraph poles
along the side there is distinct
crack heard for each telegraph pole.
II the rife Is fired from an open field
with tree or a clump of bushes at,
say, 200 yards, there IL heard crack
from this clump Of trees. II there are
several detached clumps Of trees or
bushes over the open field, there will
be heard crack for each OF them.
II, instead Of firing parallel with the
ground, the gun Is elevated and hred
straight up In the air, we hear no
noise at all, except the fall of the ham.
mer and the pun of the gases escap
Ing from the silencer.
THE reason for this IL probably "a
follows: In the ordinary gun the re-
port noise is so loud that II engulfs all
other sounds, and we are conscious of
nothing but report noise itself. II II
not until this report noise IL annulled
that we can hear the bullet flight
noise. This latter noise, being made
out in the air beyond the gun, can
como back to the shooter only by re-
lection

reflection and one Eo!se. II there are
many separate objects, we get Nsany
separate reflections and separate
noises II there are no rejecting OBJ

80 NE of the Bible passages
EANIT\M that infidels crtticise most
MIWM hotly is the story of the
SST killing of AZ Bethel children
w by two bears because the
children had insulted the
young prophet Elisha. How cruel!"
cry the critics; how disproport1oned
the penalty to the offense! What a
bloody, unjust book is the Bible!"
But the criticism results from mis-
Apprehension. For, in the first place,
ne must remember that the episode
was at the very beginning of Elisha's
career. He was In a difficult position
as a young man succeeding an old
man. pupil succeeding a teacher, a
man with little or no reputation TAX
Ing up the work Of the acknowledged
leader Of the nation. In such case
the first moments tell on all succeed
ing days. If Elisha had, allowed ridi.
cule and contempt at the start. his life
work would have been ruined.
In the second place we must re-
member that it was not horde of in
fa0ts that insulted Elisha, but of boys
old enough to know better, and per-
haDS even Of young men. The word
translated children" Is applied to Jo-
geDh at the time when he interpreted
Pharaoh's dream, to Solomon when he
was 20 years old, to Joshua when he
was Moses chief assistant, and to Jer-
emiah when, in his young manhood,
he was called to be prophet. Be-
sides, the boys were doubtless reflect
Ing the common sentiment and were
backed up by the opinion of all Bethel.
Term of Peculiar Reproach.
In the third place the cry, Thou
bald head" was peculiarly offensive.
since the Orientals regard badness
% disgrace. It is not likely that
Elisha, being young man, was actu-
ally bald. The term was equivalent
to Thou uncleanness, thou leper!"
In the fourth place the cry of the
boys was direct insult to Elisha as
q prophet and to the God whom he
represented. Go up" the meaning
Is, "as you lyingly say Elijah went up;
and the sooner we are rid of you the
better!"
In the fifth place it is not said
that the bears killed the lads, but
only that they tore" them. They
would be sufficiently punished by the
rending of their clothes and their
flesh.
In the sixth place, the opportune
Intervention Of the two bears is proof
that God was on the side of Elisha,
and in criticising the event we are
crit1cising God.
In the seventh place, if the happen
ing had not commended itself to the
common conscience as just--and con-
sciences then were much as they are
now-Elisha's influence would have
been ruined; but he seems to have
been more beloved and honored than
Ae sterner Elijah, and the general
suppression we gain from the other
AAta1ls of his life is of a kind, mild

in this county.
That feed crop on our uplands
this season has been fine and pro-
duced an average crop of thirty-five
to forty bushels to he acre, besides
