certain amount of witchery and ro-
nance has always been associated with
the humble pin. In olden times 1t was
regarded as a charm against and also
as an implement OF witchcrft
Witches were supposed to force their
victims to swallow pins, while, on the
other hand, pins stuck in the heart of an
animal and carefully preserved were con-
sidered the appropriate antioote to evil
influences.
In Russia it is considered unlueky to
meet priest on leaving a house-a state
of affairs which can only be remedied
by throwing pin at him; and in Iceland.

From the Boston Transcript.
The government sets an example to the
whole country in requiring that worn out
flags shall be burned and not permitted
to become mere pieces of waste rag
Whether or not any special law or reg
ulation governs the disposition of the
flags, the universal practice of the army
and navy for generations has been that
whenever a flag is no longer At for serv-
ice it shall be destroyed. When a flag
used at an army post or on board a naval
vessel becomes unserviceable. requisition
OF the quartermaster is made for a new
one and the old one is burned. The same
disposition is made of flags used on pub
lie buildings in Washington. Custodians
of buildings outside of Washington buy
their flags outright of the government
Whether or not they follow the official
plan of disposing of old flags cannot be
stated.
SO ingrained among military men has
respect for the national colors become
that it is extended in a curious formal
way even to the flags of other nations
While the late Maj Gen Henry w.
Lawton of Philippine fame, was inspec-
tor general on duty in Texas, a list of
articles for condemnation submitted to
him included a Mexican flag. The ven
cradle officer who tells the story and
VIM was all eye WllHeSS Oh me 1nc1QGnt
says that Lawton picked out the flag
and turned it back, that it might not be
made subject to condemnation and sale
as was the other property Oh the list.
Flags borne in battle are invariably
preserved, either by the commands
which carried them or under Instructions
from the war department at Washington
whole room full of battle flags Is on
exhibition at the war department, and it
will be recalled that one of the most
striking of the mural paintings which
decorate the state house at Boston de-
picts the return of the battle flags by the
union soldiers in 1865 to Gov. John A.
Andrew.
The government is a little thrifty, how
ever, in the use of national coors. A flag
is not put out of business merely because
1t is torn or worn, for contracts are MAIN
tanned with men who repair flags, and IL
the injury Is not too serious, repairs are
made and the flag is sent back to service
The flag making plant of the navy is at
the Brooklyn navy yards, where some
30 women are employed. The bunting
comes from Massachusetts, and every

riod that the safety pin came into being.
The first efforts In the later direction
were bow-shaped and awkward but these
soon fined down to a virtual replica OF
the pin seen today. There were also long
stiletto pins with ribbed handles. many
of which have been found in EGYPTIAN
deposits of 400 B. c.. and in Cyprus and
Sparta.

the ladies of Athens were officially de-

Hairpins have been elaborated as a.
means of decoration since the earliest
times. Particularly beautiful is the va
riety and delicacy of their workmanship,
two of the finest specimens being the gold
pins which We're found at Salamis. in cy-

In 1900 the trade underwent considera-
bic change, brass superseding jron while
at the same time the price was lowered
During the reign of James /, the metal
pin came into fashion. In 1877 a machine
for producing entire pins was invented
by an American, Seth Hunt, but 1t re-
mained for Samuel Wright of Massachu-
setts, to patent in 1924 the wonderful pin-
making machine which is generally used

for another six hours. If strength and
color hold the fabric is then pronounced
fit for service.
That General Lawtons sentimental
treatment of the Mexican flag had its
basis in custom may be inferred from the
fact that of the 100 varieties of flags
made for the navy, 43 are the colors of
foreign nations, all of which must be
carried by naval vessels of the United
States. Sentiment attached TO the ma
tiona1 colors is one of the most profound
in the human breast and it is not sur
prising to learn that even Il discarded
Official flag must be finally disposed of
almost with military honors.
The collection of trophy flags now In
store at the Naval academy at Annapolis
is so large and priceless that it has been
made the subject of special report to
Congress and an appropriation of $4,000
has been asked, if not already made, for
the repair, preservation and exhibition
of these flags. which have been laid away
In pine boxes.
One is the battle flag used as a signal
for action by Commodore Perry at the
battle of Lake Erie another of great his
torical value is an English royal stand
ard captured at York, Canada, April 27
1873. by q squadron under Commando
Isaac Chauncey. Among these Is the en-
sign of the Alert. taken in 1912 by Capt
DdNlu fOrleT. I0efe is also tne last nag
flown by the Spanish squadron at the
battle of Manila bay, and also the flag
of the governor general of the Philippine
Islands, taken by Admiral Dewey In 1898
These treasures include also the ensign
hoisted in Japan by Commodore Perry
In his interview with the Japanese COM
misSioners at Uraga
An admirars flag in the exhibition was
one used by Farragut on board the Talla.
poosa in January, 1870, when the great
admiral was in charge of the naval obse-
quies in honor of George Peabody at
Portland, Me. Looking up at this flag as
a salute was fired at Portsmouth. ~ H.,

of the old courthouse. As he was rather
stout, IL was well nigh impossible for
him to make the climb himself, and none
of his men cared for the job. so that he
was at loss to know how 1t was to be
accomplished. The parade was to take
place the following day, and the flag mast
bo placed in position by that time-but
how?
While strolling down Sycamore street.
I noticed quite a crowd congregated on
the sidewalk, looking up at three negroes
whom the worried decorator had eventu-
ally hired to do the work. The people
were laughing and making various COM
ments as to how long 1t would take the
men to fix the flag, some venturing the
opinion that they never would do 1t at
ALL which seemed to be a pretty safe
statement. for, at the time l arrived on
the scene the negroes were standing on
the roof of the building, looked at one
another and shaking their heads, quite
undecided what to do next.
After inquirings what the men on the top
of the building were trying to accom-
plish, I asked the decorator If he thought
there was any chance of their ever get
ting through with the job as they were
making no move to do anything.
He turned on me almost angrily, why,
do you think you can do it?'' he asked.
ny, yes. tnlnk can proViuiilB the
price is right | told him.
Did it for SIS
"I am giving those fellows up there
SIS to do the job was his reply.
"Yes, and from the look of 1t, guess
they would give about $b If they had
never tackled the proposition said !.
Anyhow, l am going up to see what
they think about their contract"
Turning to man by the name OF
Roland, whom l had met the day be-
fore, asked him how he would like to
give me hand. Knowing he was
painter by trade and used to working
at various heights, l thought he might
be useful. The reader will see how
useful he really was before I have fin
ished my story.
Mounting to the roof we climbed the
