Cor Sixteen Striped Flag.

How many stripes in the American flag? Thirteen. of course, yet there's an American flag flown legally today which has sixteen stripes. 1t Is the flag of the revenue cutter service. and the stripes are vertical. not horizontal. as in the ordinary ensign. The stripe nearest the staff Is red; then come white and red alternately. so that the outermost stripe is white. The reason for the sixteen stripes Is found in the fact that when the revenue flag was authorized. in 1799. there were sixteen states in the Union, three having join ed the original thirteen. - New York Tribune.

PanaI Names.

Every one knows that as soon as a cardinal becomes a pope he is nc longer known by his own name. but takes new one. This custom origi- mated out of reverence for St Peter.
 This custom. now a law of the church. had its origin In SS4. when Peter di Porca became pope of Rome. He held that 1t would be presumptll. ous to style himself Peter H.. SO he adopted the name of Sergius II. Be fore that time many popes had chang. ed their names. but 1t was not obliga. tory for them to do so. Sergius II. not only established a precedent in this direction. but he set an example which all pontiffs have followed in that none of them has ever retained or assumed the name of Peter.

Where pr. Johnson Worked.

pr. Johnson's house in Cough square. London. is noble old piece of Queen Anne architecture. and in stripping the walls of their surfeit of paper and canvas and stuff the restorers came across several quaint old cup boards, and these have all been pre- served with their original handles and mountings and add enormously to tue domestic verisimilitude of the place. At the ton may be seen the spacious garret, where the doctor kept his six clerks slaving away at the dictionary which first brought him fame: and alongside the house and the caretak- CTS lodge is the tiny garden which Carlyle in his essay on Johnson de- scribes as rather larger than a bed quilt. ..r.t. #.s ..#" -. .-

The Cynics.

Cynics was the name applied to a school of philosophers founded by An tisthenes. pupil off Socrates. The main tenet of the extreme cyuics was that civilization Is a curse. and true happiness can be obtained only by gratifying the most primary physical appetites which man has In common with brutes. The general attitude of the cynics as distinguished from thnt of the stoics. who regarded everything ini the external world with indiffer. ence. was one of contempt. They were not. an important philosophical school numerically. but attracted attention largely by their eccentricities and inso- lence. On account of their contempt for refinement their name came subse- quently to be applied to any one who takes mean view of human life.

Two Views of the Self Made Man.


 A pathologist of sunding inveighs against the ''seh made man. in terms that will be surprising to many. The self made man." he says, ''is often in the process of degeneration, and the first evidence of degeneracy in fami- ly is the seltishness and meanness or the cunning, avarice and moral guile by which the self made man succeeds in amassing fortune for his still more degenerate children to spend in igratify- ing their selfish desires" There Is another side to the matter. and Thoreau saw it when he said that the man who had acquired wealth would insist on having his sons edu- cated, and thus he would become the real founder of fanily.-Springdeld Republican.

If you are ever fox hunting always approach from the opposite direction from that in which the wind is blowing and if the air seems still you can tell which direction to take by wetting your finger and holding it above your head. The side of the finger that cools quickest is the side from which the air is moving. One of the tricks of the fox is to stop at the top of a hill to listen, because that is the best place to hear sounds. Especially it will do this if it has been chased for five or six hours.

When the superior court opened at New London Tuesday, Judge Reed presiding with a jury. the first case called was that of George and Mary Watt of Montville against Daniel s. Guile, administrator of the estate of Louisa Parker, late of Norwich. In this suit the plaintiffs claimed dam ages for the loss of services of and expenses on behalf of their minor daughter, Agnes Watt. who 1t was al legged died at the age of eighteen years and eight months, in October, 1912. as the result of an alleged illegal opera ton by the defendants inteState.
 During the morning session Of the court, both of the plaintiffs, the father and mother of the deceased girl tes- tifed, stating that the doctors bill amounted to S52, and the undertakers bill about $130 and the Lawrence hos pital bill S3, and that their daughter was earning in the Palmer bedqult mill s6 a week at the time Of her death. pr. Harry Lee of New Lon don testified, as medical examiner, to being called to the Lawrence hos pital at New London just before the girl died, and to being present at the time of her death, and also to per- Corning an autopsy
 The plaintiffs alleged that Mrs. Parker was not a physician or sur geon, that she was ignorant and un- skilled and that she had advised and was performing a criminal and illegal operation on the girl, who died st the Lawrence hospital, Saturday, Oct. 5, 1912 The plaintiffs also alleged in their complaint that they were put to considerable expense financially and that they were incipacitated and made i'll by the death of their daughter and that they were deprived of her ser vices.
 The defense was that the relation of master and servant did not exist between MT. and Mrs. Watt and their daughter at the time of her death or for some time before that
 Mrs. Watt testified that she was not informed of the nature of her daugh- ters illness, but was told that there would be 8 slight operation at the hospital and that her daughter would be home in week. She did not know until after her daughter was dead what was the nature of the illness that had caused her death.
 Mir. Watt followed Dr. Lee and his testimony was in corroboration of that given by Mrs Watt.
 When court came in again at two o'clock Judge Reed gave the attorneys interested an opportunity to imparle, and shortly before 2.30 o'clock the court was informed that the case had been settled upon satisfactory tearms, together with another suit arising out of the same circumstances, for dam
