Professional Pawners.

In many of the mean streets of Lon don there are professional pawners- women, well known to the pawnbr0- kers. who for small payments take clothes and household goods to pawn for their neighbors. It Is stated that the function of the professional pawn CT is twofold. The woman who pawns through a recognized intermediary gets larger loan than she would if she did the business herself. For the pawn broker the professional pawner guar antees the good faith of the owner and will be able 10 exercise pressure in case of default.-I-ondon Express.

italian Zouaves Once Voted to Make
 Their Ruler a Corporal.
 During the battle of PalaestrO. in 1S.Il. tlle AuStrians in three columns attacked the Picdmontese in order to throw them back across the Sesia. The right and center columns were repuls- e,l. hut the left continued to advance mud threatened danger. At that mo. i,lcnt the Third ZOuaves. led by Colonel chnbrln and obeying the orders of Fic- tor Emmanuel H.. attacked the Aus triniis with the bayonet. threw the en. elny lmck across the bridge over the Se<ia and drowned many of them in tue SlSetta canal.
 In this memorable battle the king was constantly i'll the tiercest of the fight. The zouuves were enchanted with his prowess. and in the evening a sergeant of the regiment proposed that they should send congratulatory address to his majesty.
 Let's raise him to the rank of cor roral." suggested one. which proposi- tion was unanimously adopted. The scholar of the company thereupon set down in his finest calligraphy:
 By the wish of the Third regiment of zouaves Victor Emmanuel. by trade king of Sardinia. is appointed unani. mously a corporal in the Said regi' ment"
 Then. while the wish was hot. a delutation of corporals and men went to Castle Torione. where the king was staying. The deputation was announc. ed. The king was pleased to receive it ut once. notwithstanding the fact that he was in his shirt sleeves He was greatly moved by the token of admiral tion. pressed the stripes to his heart and conveyed his thanks In such terms that the zouaves. in a delirium of joy. cheered him as if they would never stop. and in taking their leave one and all embraced their newly appointed corporal.-Pearson's.

PERSONAL FLAGS.
Special EmbIems For tho President and
 Other Officials.

Special Emblems For tho President and
 Other Officials.
 Until 1881 the president of the Unit ed States had no personal flag. his presence on board an American naval vessel being indicated by hoisting the national emblem at the head of the mainmast. and the garrison flag. re- served for times of special ceremony. was displayed on the staff at army posts whenever he visited them.
 The need of special flag for the president was frequently felt, especial ly when visiting royalty was entertain ed in this country. In August. 1882. it was directed by the secretary of the navy that "the flag of the president of the United States shall consist of a blue ground. with the arms of the United States in the center. The dag shall be hOisted at the mainmast of the vessel of war while the president is on board and sdall be carried in the bow of his boat"
 For years after this the national flag was used for indicating the presence of the vice president or of an ex-presi, dent, but this use was more or less confusing. and. besides. it was argued. the stars and stripes properly stand for the nation rather than any in- dividual. For this reason a special flag for the vice president was adopted.
 This flag is the same in design as the presidents naval blue dag. except that the national coat of arms is embazon' ed on a white field on it. Cabinet ott1 cers and the assistant secretaries of some of the executive departments also have distinctive etags.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Natural Pillows.

The pollack tree provides the natives of British Honduras with splendid ma terial for pillows and mattresses. It is q common soft wood growth with a large pear shaped fruit. which has a hard shell. changing to almost black when ripe. and containing short sta ple brown fluff or silk fiber. The fluff is about a quarter of an inch long. more like the finest of camel's hair than fiber, and is used extensively for filling pillows and mattresses. It will not become hard. even after years of service. The natives occasionally ex- pose 1t to the sunlight for day or two and put it back as good as ever.

WHY NOT DECLARE WAR.

It is said that some of the Senators and Representatives have gone to Washington for the purpose of assail- ing the foreign policy of the admin istration. It is said that they will complain because it required several notes from the President before he got Germany to admit the correctness of his conclusions on submarine war fare, and then complain still because he has not used greater force to com .pel Germany to disavow the Lusita- mia disaster. It is said that they will also point out that after his long ne- gotiations with Germany, an Austrian submarine sunk passenger ship in . the Mediterranean, and he has not sent battleship fleet to Europe.
 Further than this, it is said that the President will be attacKed be- cause there has been no invasion of Mexico. Senator Weeks, wl., has : hope of getting Presidential no,ai- nation, has criticised the admi.,,s- tration for not recognizing Hu' rta
 If this is the purpose of the oppo- sition, they should meet the situation fairly. The power to declare war is solely in the hands of Congress. If these critics are consistent the. will have a resolution declaring war on Germany and Austria introduced in Congress. Perhaps some of them think there should be force used to compel Great Britain and France to recognize the contentious that have been so clearly stated in the Presi- dents notes to those countries also. Then include them in the war. declar- ing resolutions.
 That would put the quost' 1n squarely before the people of tho Uni ted States: Shall we depend for jus tice upon the negotiations of the President who has kept the United States from being involved in war and compelled European belligerents to admit one after another of Ameri- ca's contentious, or shall we have war with one or more of the Nations en- gagged in the conflict?
 Likewise with Mexico. Let them present resolutions declaring war on that country. That would require an invasion if it passed, and if it did not pass it would put the question square, ly before the American people. Let them also present resolution recog- nizing Huerta as the rightful Presi- dent of Mexico.
 All this within the proper prov ince of Congress. President McKin- ley was forced into war by public clear. If the people of the United
