is to fry bacon, it is considered bet.

PERSONAL FLAGS.

Special EmbIems For the 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 Ivy hosting 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 a special flag for the
president was frequently felt, especial
~ 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 flag
shall be hoisted at the mainmast OF
the vessel of war while the president
is on board and shall 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 special flag
for the vice president was adopted.
This flag is the same in design as the
presidents naval blue flag, except that
the national coat of arms is emblazon'
ed on a white field on it. Cabinet off,
GERS and the assistant secretaries OF
some Of the executive departments also
have distinctive flags.-Cleveland Plain

He Could Weld an Ak.

The skill Of the old Maine shipbuild-

was wonderful. One old time yarn Is
of a carpenter who applied very drunk
at a shipyard for employment. In Or
der to have little fun with him the
foreman set him to give proof Of his
skill by hewing out wooden bolt with
no chopping block but stone. The
carpenter accomplished his difficult
task without marring the keen edge Of
the broadax and showed the foreman
a neatly made bolt. Then he brought
the AK down with terrific blow that
shattered its edge upon the stone. Il
can hew fust rate on your chopping
block" he hiccoughed, 'but I'll be
blamed if / can make the ak stick in
it when git through" The story runs
that the foreman lost no time in en-
ploying such workman.

The smallest Of these stones is about
foot In diameter and three inches
thick, with round hole through It's
center. It will buy food for a family
for a month. The large stones, about
three feet in diameter and eight inches
thick, have relatively much greater
value, since it is more difficult to trans
port them in cranky canoes over such
long stretch Of sea. Indemnities can
be paid with such stone or the aid
of neutrals purchased in time of war.

PROMOTED THE KING.
italian Zouaves Once Voted to Make
Their Ruler a Corporal.

During the battle of Palaestro, in
1859, the Austrians in three columns
attacked the Piedmontese in order to
throw them back across the Sesia. The
right and center columns were repuls.
ed, but the left continued to advance
and threatened danger. At that mo-
ment the Third zouaves, led by Colonel
Chabran and obeying the orders Of VIC
tor Emmanuel H., attacked the Aus
TRANS with the bayonet, threw the en-
envy back across the bridge over the
Sesia and drowned many Of them in
the Sasetta canal.
In this memorable battle the king
was constantly in the fiercest Of the
fight. The zouaves were enchanted
with his prowess, and in the evening
a sergeant Of the regiment proposed
that they should send congratulatory
address to his majesty.
Lets raise him to the rank Of cor
poral," suggested one. which PROPOSE
ton 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
deputation 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
at once, Notwithstanding the fact that
he was in his shirt sleeves. He was
greatly moved by the token of admira-
ton, pressed the stripes to his heart
and conveyed his thanks in such terms
that the zouaves, in 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.
