adopted about 1874. A decree was is
sued which gave to all flags knot of
tricolor ribbons ut the top of the staff,
and later the red. white and blue de-
sign was chosen for the national flag.
Some years after 1t was abolished for
by Henry w.. and it was not until 1880
that the tricolor came into its own
again Since then the flag has been

The divisions on the tricolor are not
all the same size. The red occupies
the largest space, the blue is slightly
smaller than the red, and the white is

EARLY FIRE FIGHTERS.
New York Had a Volunteer Brigade In
the Seventeenth Century.

the Seventeenth Century.
There was an organized fire depart
ment in New York city as early as 164S.
when fire prevention squad existed,
with duties resembling those of the bu-
reau of fire prevention of today. The
older squad was made up Of police
firemen, or fire-policemen, whose duty
was to visit all parts of the city, which
then extended from the Battery to City
Hall park, and inspect the chimneys to
see whether they were free from fire
danger. Those guilty of having Chin
neys in a dangerous condition were
fined $1.5O, which went to buy new
equipment, such as fire ladders, hooks
and buckets.
In the days Of the fire police Of 164s
the owner of each of the 200 odd houses
on Manhattan island had to have one or
more fire buckets in his house. These
were made of leather and cost $3.50.
A local shoemaker got the contract to
| furnish $50 to the corporation. These
houses when the Waterman gave the
alarm Of fire. They were picked up by
the volunteer firemen rushing to the
blaze and used by bucket brigade
formed between the burning building
and the nearest well.
| When the wells ran dry the brigades
sometimes had to make the river theil
base. Any one attempting to pass
through the fire lines at that time was
doused. The man who breaks through
and tells the chief how to fight the fire
is an evil that has sprung up in modern
times.-New York Times.
