And the control of the system of bank

FOUNDED BY RELIGIOUS MEN
Our Nation Owes Its Origin to Those
Who Stood In Fear of
the Lord.

No student of the philosophy of his
tory will for moment deny that the
discovery and colonization of North
America was directed by the guiding
hand of Providence, neither will any
one dispute that the Declaration of In
dependence and the formation of our
government we're the actions of men
who stood in conscious fear of the
Lord. Each of the original 13 colonies
was established on distinctive and
dominant religious principles. Each
of them sought to know the will of
God, and to do it. In all their dis
cussion of the problems of freedom
and in their reasons for independence
our fathers made their appeal to God
and his truth was written In their
hearts. They looked to him as their
leader and defender. When liberty
came they recognized God as It's au-
thor-giver, SO that the emblem of our
freedom was God-given banner to
those who feared him and did all in
their power to make his will supreme
in the earth.

CONDITION OF THE
FARM WORkINGMEN
Many Farmers Do Not Know
How to Use Help Of Any
Kind, Says Hired Man.

There Is no doubt that the condition
of the farm workman has been great
" improved during the last few years.
That this better condition is the re-
suit of the scarcity of help nobody can
deny. The plain truth is that there
were too many farmers who did not
know how to use help Of any kind.
They imagined that $40 per month
entitled them to the last ounce OF
muscle in a mans body without re-
gard to hours, decent food, bed or
any of the ordinary comforts Of life.
These men have done more to drive
good workmen from the farms than
anything else. Good workmen with
self respect refused to labor under
such conditions and the result is that
thousands have left the farm to work
In the cities where they at least be-
lieved they would be better off. Now
that farmers are learning that it pays
to give their help fair treatment and
better pay the tendency of many good
workmen is again towards the farm
and l for one believe that If the con
ditions continue to improve, as they
must under the prosperous times We
are having, that the question of farm
labor will soon right itself and we
will not only have a better class Of
workmen but higher wages and richer
farmers.-A Hired Man.

Obliteratinq Field Of Waterloo.

While Americans are observing the
semi-centennial of Gettysburg, and
thousands study the battle by the aid
of the monuments and markers on the
battlefield, complaint comes to Eng
land that the Waterloo terrain is in
danger While La Hale Sainte and
Hougomont still bear the marks Of
cannon shot, both are in danger OF
being rebuilt, and part of the Hougo-
mont wall against which the wave Of
French courage dashed in vain has
already been pulled down. That is not
the worst Of the situation, according
to a British officer who recently visit
ed the field. "Tramcars" and cheap
fares have been followed by "tawdry
cafes" located on the very spot
whence the Imperial Guard recoiled
What is to be done? The suggestion
is that cooperation Of Belgians and
Englishmen who would preserve the
topography of Waterloo many be effec
tive in doing for that famous field
what has been done for Gettysburg, but
the first step, it is admitted, will be
very expensive. If preservation is not
organized there is danger that the
strategic points will be obliterated BY
garden and farm field.-Boston Tran

HOW TO MAKE The
HOME BEAUTIFUL
MicrophiIla Rose Is One of Pref
tiest Things for Odd Corners
Around Garden.
(By L. M. BENNINGTON.)

Nothing is lovelier than the deut'
zias; perfectly hardy and low-growing.
One of the loveliest things for an
odd corner, or to train over trellis,
is the microphilla rose-literally COW
cred in the spring with tiny white or
pink roses, full of fragrance, followed
by clusters of red berries.
Plant a row of hollyhocks along the
path to the barn; keep them growing
and see them bloom next year.
Get one or more packages of the
mixed seeds Of perennial and bien
malls and plant them In rows or beds
and see what they will give you.
Don't go too strong on novelties
unless you have time and money to
throw away. Many OF them are
worthless.
Plant a paper OF Everlasting flower
seed.. They make beautiful winter
decorations.
Plant Gamma and dahlia seeds In the
hotbed or boxes now. They are cas-
lily grown, and make fine showing Of
flowers the first year.
For dahlias and cannas, the soil
must be good, with warmth and plenty
of water. AS easy started as field

To Train Porch Vines.

One Of the best labor-saving ar
engagements is device to fasten the
strings or wire netting for the vines
Of the porch. A strip Of wood one
inch square and about six feet long,
with strong screw eye at each end,
is all that is needed. Drive two nails
into the upper part of the porch, the
same distance apart as the screw
eyes, then after tying the strings onto
the strip lift it up and hook the screw
eyes over the nails. Fasten the lower
ends of the strings into the ground
with small pegs and train the vines
on them.

culosis by the improvement of the
home, he said. according to the London
Daily Telegraph. Wherever there was
dirt there was also degradation. But
it was the really invisible dirt in the
form of germs In the atmosphere or
ground that was the most harmful. 1t
was essential in dealing with these to
make the acts Of cleansing as simple
as possible, and there should be no
heavy pieces Of furniture to move;
no nailed-down carpets, but movable
strips and squares and light washable
curtains. 1t should be remembered
that there is no such thing as dry

turbance Of particles unless damp
cloth, tea leaves or wet sand were
employed.

absurd than to find little house IN a
shabby genteel street with its bed

the best apartment used as the par
lor-that holy of holies, with it's odor
that might be called sanctimonious,
and occupying cubic space that could
be far better used? This passion for
the parlor was almost like the fetish
of the uncivilized.
Direct sunshine, with its regenera

Much of the quilted land and waste

proved this to their highest satisfac-

In European countries where sheep
raising is carried on extensively and
usually prodtably, little concentrated
feed is used, except through the flush
ing and lambing season. During other
periods hay, grass and roots form
their mainstay. Any farmer who is
willing to give to sheep the same

a solid national compact; the unionl
of effort to free these states and de-
fend them; the union of hearts loyal
and true; and this idea of national
union emblazoned on our banner Isl
expressed in the field of blue on whichI
shine the stars of the several states.
To destroy this union would be to re-
verse the progress Of our history and
make void the struggle and sacrifice
of our fathers.
In the second place, it is the banner
of liberty. These states were united
in the cause of freedom. The struggle
Of their common enemy forced them
to unite their efforts in the struggle
for common liberty. The recognized
liberty as one of the inalienable rights
70 be bestowed by the creator and in
the cause of their liberty and the
liberty of their children they have
pledged their lives, their liberties and
their sacred honor. Yes, it is the flag
of the free!
In the third place, it is also the
banner of bravery. Never in the his
tory of the world did more heroic men
place themselves upon the altar of
patriotism because they feared God
and recognized the justice of their
principles, they were willing to sacri-
flee life itself. AS we look upon the
banner today and remember that 1t
was made expressive of brave and
patriotic men, 1t recalls the heroic
! STRUGGLES of the Revolution. The red
signifies it is the banner Of the brave
In the last place, it is the banner
of peaceful possession. Wherever it
floats, our flag is the symbol Of
sovereign rule. 1t stands for nation
al ownership-not of any party, large
or small, but the ownership of all the
people; and as such it is the pledge
of peace, and back of the flag stand
the people and back of the people Is
God, whose truth is displayed in its
signs and symbols.

SYMBOLISM IN OUR FLAG

When George Washington, Robert
Morris and John Ross prepared and
presented to congress a standard for
the Continental troops and the new
Union of States, every detail in our
flag was made symbolic of truth in its
breadth and beauty and as the proud
herald OF those fundamental princi-
Piles our national banner has been dis.
played for 1872 years.

g6eat deal of paradlng, considerable
oratory, the reading of the Declaration
of independence, closing with numer-
GUS dinners and the drinking of as
many toasts as there were states in
the Union.
Fire crackers, cap pistols and other
ear-splitting devices which have caused
so many of the injuries following in
the wake of the national holiday, were
unknown a century ago. There was
sufficient incentive then to make the
biggest kind of a racket. The country
was engaged in a second war with
England, and the younger generation,
with the example of the Revolutionary
veterans before them, might have
been excused had they given vent to
noisy demonstrations.
According to the newspapers of the
time however, the celebration OF July
4, 1872, was conducted in very Or
derby way. The phrase "safe and sane"
was not used in describing the events
of the day. Their substitutes GEN.
fury ago were "genteel' or respect
able" One of the early celebrations
at Princeton was thus described:
The flag belonging to the town WIS
displayed opposite the front of the
college. At II o'clock a genteel COM
pany of ladies and gentlemen assem-
bled in the college hall, where they
were agreeably entertained by two ex-
cellent orations suitable to the occa-
sion.
How safe the Fourth was in New
York 100 years ago may be Judged
from one Of the newspaper accounts,
which says:
We are happy to state that no evil
accident happened, and that the great
est order and tranquility were main
tained through the day and evening
The Fourth of July, 1872, was
opened with the raising of the Stars
and Stripes over all the public build
ings and on the shipping in the har-
Dor. At ten o'clock the militia with
the members of the Tammany society,
the Tailors, Hibernian, Provident, Co.
lumbar and Manhattan societies with
the cordwainers, shlpwrights and 9th
| er trades, met in the park in front OF
| the city hall, which had lately been
finished. There they drew up in order
of parade, and after national salute
had been fired by the veterans of the
Revolution, they marched down Broad
way to Beaver street to Broad, VI
Pearl to Beekman, where, at the cor
! ner of Gold street, the assemblage en-
tered st. Georges church. The serv
