a?" ' THEEVEVING_GAZETTE' FLAGS THAT WILL STAND WEAR. " New Industry Rece‘ntly Established by an ' Illinois Firm. The item of the-expense of keeping “Old Glory” floating .every day over public buildings or schoolhouses where the daily display of the national banner is rendered obligatory is not a small one. In East St. Louis, 111., a company has been formed with a capital of $100,000 to go into the manufacture of sheet iron, zinc, and other metal flags. The material from which the flags now in use are made is not very durable, and . in the soft coal burning States of the Union, the banner lasts at best but a few weeks, all depending on the weath- er, and until after a week’s use it be- comes so dirty as to almost lose its identity, says the Chicago “Chronicle.” The Stars and Stripes, duly waving and apparently fluttering, will be paint- ed on the metal and then enameled. When dirty, the flag can be lowered and washed. Such flags will withstand the gales which so readily whip those now in use into ribbons. , 'Bobert Bonner’s Stock Farm. Mr. Bonner’s farm is on a plateau overlooking the Hudson at Tarrytown, and here he spends much of his time. He has made a life long study of shoe- ing, and through his knowledge of foot balancing. has been able to increase the speed of horses purchased by him and to make the lame go sound. Apparently he is never so happy as when in the blacksmith shop superin- tending the shoeing of a crippled horse. He is an expert reinsman, and it is re- freshing to see him on a summer’s day in a skeleton bicycle wagon sendinga trotter at full speed around his track. The graves of such famous horses as Pocahontas, Rarus, Nutborne, Edward Everett, Startle, Peerless} and Grafton are within sight of the track, and con- spicuous among the brood mares in the pasture is Maud S. and her full sister Russella. . Edwin Forrest who at one time chal- lenged the attention of the country, threatening the track supremacy of St. Julien and even Maud S. is now a com- mon "laborer on the farm. He trotted a mile to high wheel sulky in 2.11 3-4, but in July, 1895, in the 24th year of his age, I saw him patiently toiling in front of a mowing machine.

"The statement of an Italian sea cap- tain that he has proved by experience that a ship .goes faster when her sails are perforated with a number of holes than when they are quite sound, was at first looked upon as too ridiculous for consideration. Unbelievers now find, however that the Italian has gone a long way toward proving his case. His the- ory is that the force of the wind cannot fairly take eifect on an inflated sail, be- cause of the cushion‘ of immovable air that fills up the hollow. To prevent this cushion collecting he bored a number of holes in the sail, which let part of the wind blow right through it and allowed the remainder to strike against the canvas and exercise its full effect. Several trials have been made, and it looks as if another of those paradoxical truths which appear so im- possible on the surface have been seen through. , The experiments were made in all sorts of .weathers. In a light wind a boat with ordinary sails made four ' knots, while with the perforated sails she covered five and a quarter knots; in a fresh breeze she did seven knots with ordinary sails, and eight and three- quarter knots with the improved sails; in a strong wind she did eight and ten knots respectively. ‘Resth The Doctor—The trouble with you is that your brain is overworked.

Granted the Privilege to Yawn. A well dressed young lady was stand- ing at the back of the seats in the he dies’ gallery at the House of Commons, surveying the scene, when the door- keeper hustled up to her and told harin a whisper that it was “against the rules to stand.” So she sat down. Listening to one of the members she nearly dropped off to sleep, and in her abstraction she dropped a book on the floor. Back came the doorkeeper with an- other piece of information. She “must not drop things; it disturbed the mem. bers.” Half a dozen men looked up to see if an anarchist had gotten into the gal- leries, and the girl at the back of her giggled. The fair spectator held her ground, however, and presently opened the book and began to read. Again the door- keeper: “You ain’t allowed to readyin this here gallery, ma’am; it’s against the rules.” She sat for a moment, wrath in every feature, glaring down at the heads below. ' Just as the doorkeeper sat down she turned and beckoned him vigorously. He came clumping down, and as he bent over her she asked him in a tone that startled everyone: “May I yawn?” , The laugh that rippled round was not caused by the remarks of the mem- her for X—, and the young lady was not again molested—Answers. Nuns Who Never See a Man. The Via Merulana Convent in Rome, will remain in the possession of the nuns until the death of the last ofhthem, when the property will go the ,city. The sixteen remaining Franciscan nuns who are called the Sepulte‘Vive, are still in the old monastery, where they once received a visit from the Princess of Wales. These nuns, some of them ladies of noble families, observe a. very strict rule. Once entering the convent they never leave it alive. They never see men, not even the priest who says mass in the chapel. The altar is screened off, and they can just see the elevation of the Host. Through a small aperture they receive holy communion. Iron gratings and a linen veil guard the small Openings through which they make their confessions. They never undress for repose, but spend half the night in prayer, and keep, except in ex- treme cases of illness, a perpetual ab- stinence from meat. They make al- most everything they use, even to shoes and medicines. If a parent of one of these nuns dies the announcement is not made to the nun herself, but in gen- eral terms it is said that one of them as the case may be.—Boston Herald.

TRAINING OFINDIAN PRINCES. The Education Virtually Makes a Man \Vithout a. Country. The Indian nobles and princes trained by England do not become bona fide Indian nobles and princes.

We heard a few years ago a complaint uttered by one of them, a most successful collegian, to an Eng- lish friend, and could not but think it very pathetic. “I am,” the Prince said, “a hopelessly isolated man. No one in my family or in my dominion understands my thoughts, nor is there any one to whom I can unfold myself. My house"—or as he would say, the ladies of my house —-“regard me when I speak with strain- ing ears, as if they were trying to catch the sounds of a foreign language. I have no friend and can have none. My Ministers, though they obey me and look up to me, regard me as I should regarda sunyasee, as ruled by motives which they do not comprehend, and warn me that the changes I should like best to introduce would shake my au- thority to its base. I am consumed all day by ennui; I can find no enjoyment in the national amusements, and I can see that the English amusements which I still enjoy strike my people as both tiresome and undignified.” Our report is as nearly verbatim as we can manage, and the Prince who spoke thus, after governing well for a year or two, gave up the struggle with his fate, took to drinking, abandoned the reins of his administration to who- ever would take them, and, but for an occurrence romantic even for Asia, and utterly outside all probabilities, would have ended by ruining his State, which, indeed, he did render in his search for excitement,‘nearly insolvent. His was it may be, an exceptional history, but the circumstances which preyed upon his mind must prey upon the minds of a [majority of his comrades, for they would prey upon English lads of the same position if educated throughout youth in foreign habits, foreign litera- ture, foreign ways of thought, and, above all. foreign aspirations. ‘ A SONH THAT TOUCHED HER. Sung in Midsummer Where Men Were Scarce. ’ “Arma virumque cano‘.” The Boston girl’s eyes filled with a tender light as she bent over the well- worn volume of the ZEneid and softly spoke the words, but the Vassar maid in a nearby hammock only stirred un- easily in her sleep. Wiping the mist from her gold-rim- med glasses with a violet scented hand- kerchief, the Boston girl hugged the be- loved book to her bosom and again her lips parted, “Arma virumque cano,” she repeated dreamily, and once again the sleeper stirred. . Deftly hooking the glasses in the deep indentations that marked the bridge of her aristocratic nose, the Boston girl glanced over the woman-tenanted hotel piazzas, over the woman-dotted sands, over the woman-filled surf. “I sing of arms and a man,” she mur- mured, a low, chilling sigh escaping from the icy depths of her cold-storage chest. “What’s that?” The Vassar maid awoke with a scream of delight. “What’s that?” she repeated sitting 'Twas up in the hammock; “what’s that about . arms and a man?” It was as if a. Samaritan had whis- pered “water” in the ear, of one half dead "with thirst, or "food” in the ear of the starving. Her quick eye swept inquiringly, ex- pectantly, hopefully, l'ongingly over the hotel piazzas, the sandy beach and the seething surf, and then filled with tears of disappointment. It was the same old familiar scene. “Arms and a man, eh?” she cried passionately. “If there are any within the range of a telescope, they must be for the Cuban insurgents !” Like summer rain the tears of disap- pointment fell. “Women, women everywhere. land not a man to wink,” she moaned weari- 1y.——Earl H.
