true that l never knew any other man
who had a greater dread of growing
old than he. He would sometimes say

told me that Hoppin had called upon
him not long before. He said that he
looked well and seemed to be in good
health, but he noticed that when he
went out he was little awkward in

Ctdars Of Lebanon Still Stand.

Perhaps the most historic little for
est on the face of the globe Is the
Cedars of Lebanon. Famed for their
age, size and beauty and their connec-
ton with the Scriptures, these trees
are visited byspilgrims from all over
the earth.
They are located in Syria, and be-
cause there are no forests of tall trees
in that land they have the reputation
of being the most lofty specimen of
the vegetable kingdom. But the red
wood trees of California, reaching a
height of 300 feet, dwarf their modest
so feet. Nevertheless, the girth of
their trunk is enormous, the largest
being AZ feet in circumference.
All that now remains of the Cedars
of Lebanon are some four hundred
trees. They rise from small plateau,
situated at an altitude of 6,123 feet
above sea level. But, beautiful as
they are, their interest to the world
lies only in their connection with the
temple built by Solomon and the vari.
Gus illusions to them In the Bible.

SHE AGREED WITH OLD LADY
Little Girl, Told She Was Beautiful,
Gave the Statement Her Hearty
Endorsement.

Priscilla had never consciously seen
herself in the mirror. She was too
little TO see into the high-up mirrors,
and 1t just happened that there was
no low-down mirror In her house. She
had not as yet discovered the hand
glass. Her family believed In the
old tradition that the beauty Of its
own face Is the only beauty in the
world a child must not know about,
and although her mother was the kind
OF mother who dwelt in her stories
and her plays only upon the lowell
ness of things, she was afraid that
Priscilla should come to know about
her own exquisite little face and her
tangled, brown curls, and her eyes
and the curve of her mouth.
But one day, just like the serpent
into the garden, came fussy and
outspoken old lady, one who had evil
IDENTIFY outgrown her traditions, and
who looked at Priscilla sharply and
said, tartly, Il suppose you don't know
yet, child, that you are very pretty"
Am l pretty. mother?" asked Pris-
ella with wide eyes Of Joy and unbe-
lief, and her mother deity changed
the subject.
But when the fussy old person had
gone her mother found Priscilla look
Ing at herself in the hand-glass. She
spoke to her mother without turning
her head, and with such awe and quiet
rapture and impersonal appreciation
as her mother had never before heard
In her little piping yoice-such rap
ture as should change the old tradi-
ton for all time.
"Oh, mother" she said, isn't it
beautiful"

Animal Doctors.

There is more than one kind of ami
NAL that, when in a state of nature.
employs animals Of another kind to
protect it from disease and other ills.
For instance, crocodiles in the Nile
make friends with little bird called
the Egyptian plover, which feeds on
the insects that infest their jaws, and
also on the pieces Of food that cling
to their teeth. No crocodile will ever
harm this bird, for not only does it
save him from having bad teeth, but
it prevents him from being considera-
bly, irritated by the flies. An even
more curious animal partnership than
this is that which exists between the
hermit crab and a worm called a
"nereis." The hermit lives in the
empty shell Of some other shellfsh;
but as he is very untidy creature
and litters his house" with bits OF
food, he induces the nereis worm to
come and live with him. In return
for shelter, the worm cleans up the
hermit's dwelling by eating all the
refuse that is left about the shell.

Emperor Lacked Tact.

Joseph II, emperor of Germany, half
in Jest, half in earnest. suggested this
as an appropriate inscription for his
tombstone Here lies Joseph, unfor.
tunate in all his undertakings" He
was a good man, with excellent inten.
tons, but somehow his plans almost
invariably went wrong. "Be good and
you will be happy" did not seem to ap.
ply in his case. The truth is, he was
lacking in Judgment. He was a zeal
Gus reformer, and deeply concerned
for the welfare of his subjects; but
he went about it in the wrong way.
He tried to reform people with ham
mer, and totally disregarded their
feelings In the matter. Many of them
did not even know they needed re.
forming. Joseph had about as much
tact as . runaway horse in q flower
garden. He probably did not know Il.
but this lack Of judgment was largely

ANCIENT FLAGS AND BANNERS
Some Kind Of Symbol Has Been In
Use as Far Back az 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 a device; used
as a standard, symbol or signal, and
generally displayed by being attached
by one edge to staff, or to hal
yard, by which ii 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 a pole by
a cross-bar, or hung from a pole by
between horizontal ropes, and bearing
some motto or device; often carried in
professions as the ensign of society.
order or party" Notwithstanding the
difference here noted between a flag
and banner, there is a 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 q1ite
familiar expression. Among the ear
Hest records of civilization are cary
ings and paintings showing that the
ancient Egyptians had their own par
ticular standards in the form of sacred
objects affixed to stats. The early
Romans used handful of hay borne
on pole. Sometimes a cross-piece
OF wood was placed at the end of
spear and surmounted by the figure
OF hand. in silver, below disks with
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 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 a staff.

Ups and Downs Of the Balkan Church.

Nearly all the churches in Saloniki
were at one time Turkish mosques.
They continue to have the outward ap-
pearance of such. Two of the best
known churches, st. Sophia's and St.
Georges, were originally built by the
Christians many centuries ago. Then
the Turks came and the buildings were
converted into mosques. For five hun
dred years they remained as such, and
only after the recent Balkan war did
they come back into their own. In
the dome of st. Sophia's is an example
OF exceptionally fine mosaic work
which dates back to the building OF
the church. This work Of art has an
interesting history. When the Turks
came they painted it out so that none
of the figures could be distinguished,
and so it remained for five hundred
years. Recently the paint was rubbed
off and now the original picture stands
out in all its beauty and original col
