The Bed of Ware.

A famous piece of furniture is the
bed of Ware" which was formerly
preserved at the inn called the Sara
Gems Head, at Ware, England, but re-
moved to Rye House in 1860. 1t is con-
sidered one Of the curiosities of Eng
land and measures twelve feet square.
1t is made of oak deliberately carved
and is surrounded by canopy, sup
ported by lofty headboard and two
massive bedposts at the foot. Twelve
persons can occupy this bed comforta-
bly, at one time.
The bed bears the date 1860, but an
tiquarians think it is not older than the
time of Elizabeth. Some authorities
say that it was offered for sale in 1854
and was bid in by Charles Dickens
while others claim that Dickens Offer
of $500 was not considered sufficient
and it was bid In by the owner.

Where Silence Was Deadly.

Rome is said to have once been saved
by the cackling Of geese, but silence
cost the people of Amyklae. an ancient
Grecian city. their liberty. The report
that an enemy was approaching had
been spread so often, creating conster-
nation among the inhabitants. and as
often proved false. that the authorities
finally passed law forbidding any one
to speak of such thing. All went well
for time. but there came day when
an enemy did appear. hostile Spartan
army. But the citizens Of Amyklae
were law abiding. They talked Of the

judges Wigs.

The wig is only worn by English bar
risters to give them a stern. Judicial
appearance, and no one can say that
it fails in this respect The custom
was originated by French judge in
the seventeenth century when, happen
ing to don marquis wig one day, he
found 1t gave him such stern and
dignified appearance that he decided to
get one for himself and wear it at all
times in court. This he did, and the
result was 80 satisfactory from legal
point of view that not only judges, but
barristers also, took up the custom
throughout Europe.-London Graphic.

FUTURE OF THE HORSE.
Can the Heavy Draft Animal Survive
the Motor Truck7


The heavy draft horse is doomed.
He will not vanish suddenly, but his
hour has struck. Motor vehicles al
ready are displacing him in cities. The
cheap farm tractor will do the same in
the country. In few decades the
great, magnificent brutes will be little
more than a memory. Their places
will be taken by bloodless machines,
that never whinny greetings to kind
master never search ones pockets for
sugar-and never break their legs on
icy pavements or drag out friendless
old age under the whips Of stupid,
greedy drivers
When one thinks of these last con-
siderations the horseless age doesn't
seem so gloomy a prophecy. But II
man Is wise there will be no horseless
age.
If man has any real wisdom-and
that belief, though often disappointed
never dies-the horse will be promoted
to the position Of humanity's chief pei
and plaything, but always with sub
stratum of usefulness which will keel
him from degenerating into mere toy

PERSONAL FLAGS.
Special Emblems For the President and
Other Officials.

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 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 special flag for the
president was frequently felt, especial
ly when visiting royalty was entertain
ed In this country. In August, 1882,
II was directed by the secretary OF the
navy that 1.-The flag Of the president OF
the United States shall consist OF q
blue ground, with the arms OF the
United States In the center The nag
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 nat
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, 1t was argued
the stars and stripes properly stan'
for the nation rather than any In
diyidual. For this reason special fiai
for the vice president was adopted.
This flag is the same in design as tn
presidents naval blue flag, except tina
the national coat of arms is emblazon
ed on a white field on it. Cabinet ON
GERS and the assistant secretaries
some of the executive departments ais
have distinctive fags.-Cleveland Plat

against the British. is the report which
has ined wide circulation on the
coast, according to officers OF the Pa
cifc Mail liner Persia which arrived
from the mainland last night
Summed up, the report is that the
Maverick and the Annie Larsen sailed
from Coast ports for Mexican waters:
that there the two ships were 70 meet
and the Annie Larsen transfer her
ergo OF arms and ammunition to the
Maverick, the latter ship to proceed
with the war supplies to Java, which
is Dutch territory. Then. according
TO the report, the arms and ammuni-
ton delivered at Java were TO be
transhipped TO India or the Straits
Settlements. Soon after the mHtiny
OF the native troops in India and the
Str'its a few months ago. the Eng
lish charged that two German officers
who had escaped their vigilance had
melted the revolt. This mutiny had
gained considerable Roadway before it
was suppressed by the British troops.
Before the Persia left the coast, a
large consignment Of guns and ammu-
milton had been shipped 10 Batavia,
Java, on the Dutch steamer Djember
This gives a new angle to the MAYER
ick stories. 1t may be, according to
the Persia officers theory. that the
guns and ammunition shipped TO Java
are intended for re-shipment to Hol-
land and thence to Germany This is
believed by some because of the fact
that a Dutch steamer was employed
for the latter shipment
