ANCIENT FLAGS AND BANNERS
Use as Far Back as There
Is Any Record.

The Standard dictionary defines a
flag as "a piece of cloth. commonly Of
bunting and usually square or oblong,
either plain or bearing device; used
as standard, symbol or signal, and
generally displayed by being attached
by one edge to staff, or to hall
yard, by which it may be hoisted to
a pole" The same authority defines
a banner as "A piece Of fabric, of
cloth, or combination of netting and
cloth, either suspended from pole by
a cross-bar, or hung from pole by
between horizontal ropes, and bearing
some motto or device; often carried in
professions as the ensign of a society,
order or party" Notwithstanding the
difference here noted between a flag
and banner, there is sense in which
flags are commonly and correctly
spoken Of as banners. Tennyson re-
fers to the banner of England" and
the Star Spangled Banner" is a quite
familiar expression. Among the ear
Hest records of civilization are carv-
ings and paintings showing that the

spear and surmounted by the figure

figures Of Mars and Minerva, or in
later times portraits of emperors or
eminent generals. The vexillum,
which was the cavalry flag, is de-
scribed by Livy as a square piece Of
cloth fastened to piece of wood fixed
crosswise to the end of spear. The
labarum, the imperial standard Of
later emperors, was of purple silk rich
ly embroidered with gold, and some
times was not suspended as the vex-
illum. but displayed as our modern
flags, that is to say, by the attachment
of one Of it's sides to staff.

LAID TO REST AMID POMP

a few weeks ago when the burial of
a brigadier general took place with
full military honors. When the fu-

emn announcement of the approach
Distant strains OF a grand dirge came
family up from the valley below and
mingled with the salute fired by the
battery at stated intervals. Nearer and
nearer it came, until down the broad
avenue under trees brilliant in au-
tumn foliage, the funeral cortege broke
into view. 1t was led by the mounted
band and hundreds of cavalry and ar
tillerymen on finely caparisoned
horses. At the gate of the cemetery
halt was made and the great mill
tary escort spread out into semi
circle. In the background was the
row of cannon from which the salute
had been fired, the smoke still rising
in soft curling clouds. The band played
an impressive military dirge. The gilt
tering tips of 400 sabers pointed sky

stood at attention, man and horse alike
immovable, while the caisson bearing
the fiag-draped casket passed through

fired over the grave; the clear notes

But there are no somber trappings

LOSING A BASS DRUM.
A Feat That Can Be Performed In
More Than One Way.

"Now, don't you leave that bass drum
on the train when we get to the termi-
nal" said the conductor sharply as he
punched the ticket of stout colored
man who, with his drum, was squeezed
into the seat at the forward end of the
smoking car of city bound local.
mo, indeed, boss, sho' won't do
dat" responded the owner Of the drum
earnestly.
"Do many people leave bass drums
on these trains?" asked cOmmuter as
the conductor reached for his ticket.
"It's a regular thing for that fell
low" replied the conductor testify.
He lives up near Rosemere, and once
month he comes down to the city to
play in a band. He doesn't need the
drum until evening, so to avoid garry
ing it around all day or paying for
checking it in the parcel room, he
leaves it on the train. Then along
about O'clock he calls for it at the
lost article room in the station"
When the train reached the city the
conductor left with the first of the pas
sengers. AS he approached the gate,
however he thought of something he
had forgotten and turned quickly
toward his train, which was now al
most empty. AS he did SO his face red
dened, his eyes snapped angrily and he
started ON a run for the steps of the
smoking car, from which the owner of
the bass drum, looking furtively from

added.
"I'll hold the train here for an hour
IL necessary" replied the conductor,
'but get that drum out, and be quick

A few minutes later the commuter
saw the wvner of the drum sitting de-
jectedly on one of the benches in the
station. AS the drum again reposed
beside him. it seemed likely that for
once at least the owner would have to
carry it with him through the day or
else check it at the parcel room at the
usual rate.
But on his way home that evening
the commuter stopped at the lost ar
ticle window TO inquire for an UNI
brella that his wife had left in the sta
ton the day before. Much to his graft
fication. he found ii.
As the attendant handed the um-
brella out to him he heard a voice over
his shoulder, a somewhat familiar
voice, plaintively inquire:

FIGURES HARD TO REALIZE
What the Present Conflict Means to
Humanity Shown by Comparison
With Our Civil War.

In Europe rs per cent Of the pop
ulation at war, in all the world Sc
per cent of the population involved
in the conflict; 100000 men actu-
ally under arms; 100000 killed,
nearly 100000 wounded, more than
100000 prisoners.
We cannot grasp these figures, but
we can get some ideas of what they
mean by comparing them with the
results of previous wars, Gen. F. V.
Greene writes in the Outlook. We
were accustomed to speak of our
Civil war as the greatest conflict of
modern times, but apparently it was
only one-tenth the magnitude of the
present conflict. At no time did the
number of men actually under arms,
north and south, exceed 1900, 900
men, and the total number of those
killed in battle and who died of
wounds on the northern side was
110,070, and on the southern side
probably not more than $4,000; so
that in four years of war then the
destruction of life was less than
one-tenth the destruction of life dur
ing little more than one year at the
present time.
In the Napoleonic wars from 1896
to 1915 the largest army ever as
sembled was that which Napoleon
led into Russia in 1912, and this
numbered somewhat in excess of
100000. The German armies fight
ing today in Russia on the east and
in France on the west are more than
six times as large.

Cheese as an Aid to Health.

The long cherished idea that cheese
should form only a small part of the
daily diet recently has been chal-
lenged. Not long ago the United
States department of agriculture is
sued bulletin recommending the use
of cheese as a cheap and wholesome
substitute for meat.
An interesting and important asser-
ton by Swiss investigator is to the
effect that persons who make cheese
a considerable part of their regular
diet are very resistant to many in
testinal diseases, such as dysentery
and the dreaded typhus fever which
has desolated Serbia. According to

in the Swiss army has already been
partly replaced by cheese, with excel
