Sewer-81 of the Stars of Miss Mulford’l Banner Made in Historic Places. The largest flag in the world has just been completed, says Harper’s Bavzar. It was planned by Miss Josephine Mul- ford, of Madison, N. J. Miss Mulford might not have become an expansionist in the line of flags had we not fought with Spain. When the country went to war, Miss Mulford’s patriotism dc- manded some expression and the larg- est flag in the world was none too big for the purpose. This par- ticular star-Spangled banner is 100 by 65 feet. It is made of bunting manu- factured especially for it, and is sewed with silk. The stars are almost three feet in diameter, and each one is em— broidered with the arms of the state it represents and the date of its admis- sion to the union. . one interesting detail is that Miss Mulford made several of the stars in historic places. Sitting in John Han- cock’s chair in Independence hall, she partly made the Pennsylvania star, which she finished in the house of Betsy Ross, who made the first American flag. Miss Mulford went to Washington’s headquarters at Morristown in order to make there the New Jersey star. The Maryland one was made at Fort Mc- Henry, the Virginia one at Mount Vernon, and the New York one partly on board the flagship New York and psirtly in Fraunce’s tavern, where ashington took leave _of his officers after the revolution. on the halyard canvasMiss Mulford has embroidered - a long dedication to the American army and navy. Whai Shall 'WTno. .- A serious and dangerous disease pre- vails in this country. dangerous be- cause so deceptive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it isoften firmly seated before we are aware of it. The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stages is, First. Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumba- go. frequent desire to urmate, often with a burning sensation, the flowof urine being copious or scant with strong ndor. - If allowed to advance, this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down between the navel and the water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing, small quantities being passed with dif- ficulty, Sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will prove dangerous, if neglected. - The third stage is Bright’s Disease. There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer, the, great kidney and blad- der specialist. has discovered a Remedy .. famous for its marvelous cures of the most distressing cases and known as Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root.

How a Man IVES Saved from Instan- taneous Death \Vhen the} En- gine Bl‘etv Up. \ “One of the strangest accidents in my experience," said a boiler expert to a New Orleans TimesLDemocrat man, “occurred a few years ago at a small sawmill town over in Texas. They had a narrow-guage road on which logs were hauled by a pony locomotive. One day the two forward wheels of the little 'machine jumped the track and the crew Of seven men went out to jack it into place. As the engine stood, it had a cant forward, which threw all the water in the boiler to the front end, andflas there was a lively fire in the box, it soon got the other end red- hot. This trifling circumstance was overlooked by the crew, who proceeded calmly with the jacking, six of them working at the sides and one lying flat on his stomach under the rear trucks. “As the engine slowly assumed a horizontal position the water ran back to the red-hot portion, and, hang! the whole thing disappeared in space. The six men also disappeared. They were distributed in small sections over at least ten acres, and there wasn’t enough a respectable souvenir. While this dis- integration was in progress the man who had been lying flat on his stomach was experiencing the surprise of his life. He had heard a hideous clap of thunder, and when he looked up, 10 and behold! he was all by his lonely. His comrades and the pony locomotive, which was but just then standing over his back, had vanished like a dream. All that Was left was the landscape. He was wholly unhurt.” FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES. ’ Uncle Sam’s Fighters Take Posses- ruhs paralla tTJ‘tlie—llfanila & Eagupa’n railroad has been adopted by the Twen- tieth Kansas volunteers and the Utah Light Horse artillery, and has been christened “the Kansas & Utah Short Line.” - The boys use it constantly to go to and from the city. As they take noth- ing seriously except fighting, it is a great wonder that some serious acci- dent has not occurred during their reckless rides, but luck seems to be with them in more ways than one, and no one worries about such trifles as smash—ups and explosions. NEVER WEN-r ‘A BROAD. 1». Very Few of the Presidents of the United States Have Ever Crossed the Ocean. 'Ex-President Harrison will spend the summer abroad in the performance of his duties as counsel for Venezuela in the boundary dispute with Great Brit- ain. Our presidents in recent years have mostly been home-keeping folks, says the Philadelphia Enquirer. McKinley and Cleveland have never been across the ocean. Neither had Abraham Lincoln nor Andrer Jackson. we believe that Gen. Hayes was among the presidents whose lives were too full of domestic work to permit them. to cross the ocean. President Hayes fought through the civil war, then was govern- or Of Ohio, and afterward president. Perhaps he shrunk from going abroad after his retirement from the presi- dential office, because to have done so after Gen. Grant’s ovational journey would have seemed like inviting to himself a repetition of these atten- tions. ‘ James Buchanan was one of the most successful of our foreign ambassadors, but between the time of Franklin Pierce and that of the earlier presi— dents, some of whom were called abroad slon of the Railroads and Startle Natives by Their Recklelsness. Put a crowd of American youths in the center of the Sahara desert and they will find something to amuse themselves with and something on which to exert their ingenuity, says the Philadelphia Press. Some of the boys in the Philippines act as though they were on a picnic after the day’s fighting is over or during the time they are waiting for something to fire at. The American forces have in their possession a good stretch of 120 miles of railroad between Manila and Dagn- pan, and the natives stand in wide-eyed wonder to see the reckless Yankees open wide the throttles of the engines and let them tear madly over bridges and around curves. That is not the Spanish way of doing things. About Caloocan, the machine shops and roundhouses swarm with members of the engineer corps who tinker around, fixing this engine or building a shelter with that piece of tin.

Remarkable" Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,lll., makes the statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs;she was treated for a month by her fam~ ily physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no, medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggest- ed Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con- sumption: she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted fl om first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found her- self somewhat well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at John A.
