To Cut Cardboard.

Cardboard is used for so many puf-
poses that II is well to know how to
cut straight edges. Never use scis-

the dark stain of human slavery, in

Flag to sail the seas, free and un-
molested. The first Flag to go jour
neying forth, across the broad prairies
beyond the Mississippi; to ripple forth
in all its glory from the lofty, snow
clad peaks of the Rockies and to
blazon in the sunshine of the great
Northwest along the trail of Fremont
and Clark. The first Flag to float
over enfranchised Cuba and Hawaii,
redeemed. The first Flag to greet
the silent dawn in the vast, intermin-
able wastes of the North Pole.

Symbols. Its red, as of the blood of
heroes, living and dead, who have
loved it and defended it. Its blue, as
of the sheen of the restless seas, that
encompass and protect it. Its white,
as of the clear day; the union of all
of the colors of the spectrum; the
peaks of her transcendant mountains
and the drifting SHOWS of her prairie
wastes-Aye! White-clear through.

quotation, "Proclaim liberty through
out the land, to the inhabitants there
Of" inscribed on the bell at that
time, seems prophetic. The bell was
hung April II, 1853.
Two years later it rang a warning
to George III that the assembly re-
fused to make laws by dictation of
the crown, and in 1865, muffled, the
bell "tolled" the arrival of the hated
stamps. "Mufled and tolled' it rang
all day long when the stamp act was
put in operation. 1t called the first
Continental congress together; it pro-
claimed the Declaration of 1ndepen-
dence; its glad peals announced the
victory of Trenton and the surrender
of CORVALLIS; it proclaimed a treaty
of peace it tolled out the grief of the
nation at the death of George Wash
inton; it welcomed Lafayette to Phil
adelphia, and rang once more when
he died; its solemn peals announced
the death of John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson, and its last message to the
world was the death of Chief Justice
Tohn Marshall in 1885. AS it
breathed forth its sad dirge on that
July day its great side parted and it
was silent forever. Mute though it
is its patriotic inspiration is far greater
than that of any orator, and more
than a million people each year pause
to behold this most precious heirloom
of the American nation.

protecting folds over the widowed,

Mercy where the wounded and the
dying lay in long rows amid the gath

Flag that the little children of the

of Iyrant Hun or Unspeakable Turk.
