HALF-MAST HIGH.

One of the most universal Of Gus
toms when a prominent man dies is
the hosting Of flags on public build
ings only part of the way up the
flag-poles. This is known at 'half-
mast; ;" but how many know what
the custom means or how it origina-
ted?
To begin with this practice was
military one. Ever since flags we're
used in war it has been the custom
to have the flag of the superior or
conquering nation above that of the
inferior or var1rished. When an
army found itself -nopelessly beaten
it hauled its flag down far enough
for the flag of the victors TO be
placed above it on the same pole.
This was a token, not only of sub
mission, but of respect. In like man.

Determined measures by the SANTA

of whom had contracted the disease
before crossing the border. A number
were sent back to Mexico yesterday.
Advices received from AlIende say
that Gen. Mas, the federal commander,
has forced his way through the rebel
lines at PeyOtes and that the federals
expected to take possession of the city
within a few hours. The reports were
not confirmed, but another rush of ref
ugees began to the American side.

established a rigid quarantine against

Queen Mothers Rules
Following are some Of the COM
mandments issued to the prince OF
Wales by his queen mother:
No social engagements may be made
without the consent Of the king, the

He may read only the London Times
and the Paris Temps, and then only
after his tutors have clipped out any
thing they may consider improper for
his perusal-
He may not become acquainted with
any young woman, even if Of his own
station or of the aristOcracy, without
the consent of his parents.

ONDON. Eng, Oct. 6.-Is the heir

IL made a mOllycoddle? Does he
compare unfavorably in manly quail
ties with the crown prince of Ger
many.
So it would appear. if the word OF
a famous French educator is to be
accepted He cites the cases of the
prince Of Wales and prince Frederick
William as evidence of the oft re-
peated statement that when women
have sole charge of the early educa-
ton and bringing up Of a youth, the
result is effeminacy.
In this instance prince Edward AL
bert is pointed TO as the mollycOddle-
in-the-making, and prince Frederick
William as the manly type Of young
man. Prince Albert is being brought
up by queen Mary King George never

companion of his father, the kaiser,
and inherited many of his warlike
qualities.
These two young men, Edward Al
bert and Frederick William, will some
day become the reigning heads of the
two greatest mOnarchieS of Europe
And they are as different as the day

known as emperor William III, was

hunting wild animals Tennis, golf,
racing and hunting are his passions.
An interesting study may be made
of the faces of the two young men,
The English prince shows much kind
ness in his features. His eyes are
large and soft, with a sort of bashful,
pleading look His lips are full and
his jaw and chin rather weak. He

of one who thinks deeply, but is of a

ent of public instruction Doughty, to

series of questions relative to the man
agement OF the school fund Of that dis
trict for a ruling.
The board in one of the questions
wants a ruling as to whether it has the
authority to borrow from a bank with
which to pay salaries of teachers and
pay the bank back later, when funds
are available out of the school funds.
This, il is pointed out, would Obviate
the necessity of having the teachers
warrants discounted. This question
was answered in the negative in an
opinion recently to the Temple school
district. Another question is as to the
bond of the treasurer of the school
fund which is claimed to be out Of
proportion to the funds handled. All
these questions will be answered short
