As new states were added to the

were added. a stripe and a star for

congress decided upon a change, adopt

the flag should be composed of "thir-

cal Calculation.
At sea. when a vessel is moving. the
base is fixed and measured upon the
deck. A telescope Is placed Mt either
end OF that line, and the lenses of both
are focused upon the object to be shot
at. An observation Is then taken a
mathematical calculation made. the
book of tables is referred to. and In n

or any other given distance. says the
st. Louis Globe.
OF course the gunner must know the
contents of his cartridge. because that
Is a material factor in his problem.
He must also make allowance for the
wind, for the resistance of the atmos-
phere. for the curvature of the earth
and for the movement of the enemy's
fleet.
The range finder is. however. a great
deal more accurate than the human
eye. and persons with defective vision
will often insist that n gun is badly
aimed and find out to the contrary aft
er the shot is fired.
Although we have guns on our bat
tleships and in the fortresses on the
coast that will carry a projectile thir-
e miles. it would be folly to attempt
to use them at that distance, because
owing to the curvature of the earth it
would be impossible to see the target.

HINTS ON HEADACHES.
care With Exercise and Diet Will Re-
move Many Common Causes.


MY mother always has headaches"
wrote a bright little girl In an essay on
Mother" The child was manifestly
surprised as IL there was something
wrong In having headaches and that
mothers could and should avoid them.
Headaches are lot so common now as
formerly, when every woman regarded
them as part of her lot in life. but they
still are far more common than they
need be.
Most of them are of our own making.
1t Is said that there are a hundred
causes of headache, and at least three
fourths Of those are avoidable with a
little care.
Want of open air exercise is one of
the most prolific of all causes. Sys-
temaie open air exercise should be
combined with open windows.
There is also the headache which fol-
lows soon after eating. 1t arises from
a combination of causes-because the
victim eats unsuitable food, perhaps
eats too quickly and perhaps also bus
ties about and gets furried before sit
ting down.
The sick or bilious headache may be
caused by mental %oyerwork, grief,
anxiety. worry. fatigue. late hours and
errors in diet.
The person so afflicted needs abso-
lutte quiet and rest. A hot bath often
gives relief. or a mustard plaster to the
back of the neck.

A few hours later John Jupin, alias
Freckles, late Of the city of New York,
was engaged in sorting the contents Of
n of those receptacles known in the
parlance of the printing office as the
hell box.
The months that followed were siren
uous les for the Chronicle. Pinetown
was in the throes of q political battle
over the purchase Of a municipal wa
terworks system. From the first Bran
ton stood firm for municipal owner
ship, and for a time everything seemed
favorable. but then the tide turned.
The political party in the minority
saw an opportunity to create a senti-
ment against the project and charged
openly that 1t was a scheme for graft
on the part of the party in office.
Branton remained firm in his position.
Affairs were at this point when the
leader of the opposition made Branton
an offer to desert the now unpopular
cause.
All this Freckles learned as he toiled
over his types, and he gained a keen
insight into the contest. At leisure mo-
ments he Joined groups OF politicians
on the street and listened unobserved
to the discussions.
The linotypes were merrily hum
ming and clanking one evening a year
after Freckles came TO the office of the
Chronicle. He had made remarkable
progress in his work and through the
kindness of Branton had attended the
sessions of a night school.
Freckles was perched upon a box
setting headings from a case that was
too high for him. He was wondering
how much longer Branton could hold
out. for it was an open secret that the
Chronicle vas near the end Of its re-
sources. Suddenly he read two lines
that startled him:

smiled amusedly.

The next day there was great excite
ment in Pinetown. The office of Jim
Donnelly was flooded with visitors,
while the big boss passed around
cigars to his anxious friends and ex-
planned that the esteemed Chronicle
had had a pipe dream" The prestige
of that newspaper seemed forever lost
to all except Branton.
In the office of the Chronicle there
was equal turmoil. Billy Curtis, the
reporter responsible for the article that
had set all Pinetown a-quiver with ex-
element, had resigned and was not to
be found. RumOr said he had held an
early conference with Donnelly before
the presses of the Chronicle were
through that morning and had left for
the far west.
The needs Of the present aroused
him from his reverie. Some one must
be found at once to take Curtis place,
some one he could trust. In his diem.

So Freckles went forth from the Of

Notwithstanding the prospects of the
Chronicle. Branton had unconsciously
stumbled upon one of the secrets of
success. He had made an aily of his
helper.
He bore in mind Branton's last
words: "And, above all, Freckles, don't
let anybody know who you are. Keep
that low" In spite of his small stat
ure Freckles was now eighteen years
old, and his sudden good fortune made
him feel a man grown.
Residents of Pinetown will always
recall the events of the following day.
The Chronicle was filled with remarks
by eminent politicians never meant for
publication. with here and there a
caustic comment by Branton. The last
number of the Chronicle was sold be-
fore the sun was two hours high. and
Donnelly and his colleagues were rag
ing. The strange part was nobody
knew how Brandon had secured his in
formation. Nobody had seen him about,
nor had any one observed the little fig
ure that quietly fingered near groups OF
politicians as they conferred in low
tones. Freckles went about without
attracting suspicion. and the leaders
began TO whisper of treachery and Of
betrayal of confidence. The next day
and the next the Chronicle contained
edifying news morsels and told OF the
growing spirit of disruption among the
leaders. Donnelly grew alarmed as
leading citizens began TO sit up and
take notice. The circulation of the
Chronicle Increased by leaps and
hounds. Freckles was. indeed. max.
