South AfrIca,a Gold.

Gold mining is Overwhelmingly the
chief industry OF South Africa. II is
also, directly or indirectly, the prin.
cipal source OF revenue both for the
people and for the government. The
operation of the mines has not been
seriously affected by the war, but, at
least for a time, there was no expor-
tation. The official export figures do
not indicate any resumption Of ship
ments Of gold to England, though it is
generally believed that large amounts
are nevertheless now reaching London.
The average yield of the mines for
remuneration Of capital is said to be
only about 10 per cent, while. in many
instances the profit is so small that q
slight increase in working costs would
necessitate the closing of the mines.
II the profits can be increased, capital
may again flow into the Rand, but
such an increase depends on either
the discovery of new deposits OF rich
ore or on the invention of more eco.
nomical processes. The present ten.
dency is toward increased costs. Il
= said that during the last ten years
the Rand's output of gold was more
than that produced by the entire world
in the first half OF the nineteenth CEN
fury, and that its production today is
approximately two-fifths or the entire
output of the world.

New Profession for Women.

Why may college women not estab-
lish bookstores in their own cities
and towns In all parts of the country?
Such stores would meet the need for
ia calling, and should yield fair I'm
come. The wares are familiar To
these women, who have at least q
cultivated interest in them. PERIOD
Gals, music, photographs and other
art products could be added to the
stock, and the desire for social serv-
ice could be met naturally by making
the store q center where people could
meet, where they could examine books
and periodicals while waiting, and
where public opinion could be formed.
The store might also sell tickets for
concerts and lectures: and the right
woman could exercise q large in
huenee in directing the public taste
in these matters.
It is clear that such enterprises, as
in the case of the librarians 80 years
ago and of the more recent social
workers, would have not only to fur
nish what the public needs. but would
also have to educate the public to
want what 1t needs. This would re-
Quire skin and technical knowledge.
exactly as in the case of the libraries
and the social service movement, and
special schools would have to be de-
veloped to meet this need.-Atlantic

that 1t win be the poorest year for

century, and the chance OF longer life
for the birds will be greater than
ever, because there are fewer guns.

FLAGS OF .WARRING. NATIONS
Ancient Brltcne Fought Under Various
Standards Celebrated Blue Ban
ner OF 90. Martin.

The ancient Britong, conquered By
Julius Caesar, fought under standards
on which were displayed the figures Of
animals and birds common to various
sections OF their country. Among
these were the bear, the Wild boar, the
vulture, the raven, the black eagle,
the cormorant, the wolf, the stag and
even the ram. There were, Of course,
no silken standards in those days. the
material used for these flags being
wooden cloth or leather. Caesar sent
number OF British banners to Rome
after the conquest Of Britain.
In 1000 A. d. standard bearing o
raven was unfurled in England by the
conQuering Danes; in 1887 the ensign
of William Rufus bore the efigysOf
young eagle looking the sun In the
face, with Il endure it. for q motto.
In 1906 the first British union Jack,
combining st. Georges and st. An
drew's cross and symbolizing the
union between England and Scotland,
was decreed by King James vi Of
Scotland and of England. In 1901,
when Ireland was united to the en-
pire, the cross OF st. Patrick was add
ed to those of st. George and st.
Andrew, thus forming the trinity
crosses which constitute the meteor
flag OF England, on which the sun
never sets.
The early history Of the French nag

al flag of France, says the Southern
Woman's Magazine, is q comparative
~ modern idea. The blue flag Of st.
Martin. the oriflamme of st. Denis.
and the cornette blanche OF the bour-
bons all preceded the present tricolor.
The blue banner Of ST. Martin was q
magnificent creation and often led the
French troops to victory. It was borne
aloft by the legions OF Clovis and by
those OF Charlemagne.
The flag of st. Martin was the most
beautiful French standard Of ancient
times. II was made of taf9eta with q
painted image Of st. Martin thereon.
No one knows Just when the golden
lilies were placed on the blue flag. but
It was at very early date. From
being spread over the entire surface
they we're limited, in 1866, under
Charles. v, to three. The blue fiaG
was patrician standard. the symbol
of nobility. but its successor in popu
lar favor, the renowned oriflamme
was the flag of the people.
