Merchant Ships’ Flags. The British inercantlte ling Is known familiarly us the rid ensign. Strictly speaking, no Inland person Ims tiny right to fly the red ensign gsbore, the only flag permissible being the plain union jack, which the ordinary citizen often tiles upside down. The red ensign Ims Its official status from the edict# of two queens, Queen Anne tn 1707 and Queen Victoria in 1864. The merchantmen of the colonies generally use the red ensign also, but by permission of the admiralty may add the badge of the colony "in the fly." Some nations have special mercantile marine flags, but not all. The United States flag, for Instance, is the stars and stripes for all occasions. 'i he German mercantile flag of black, white and red dates only from 1807 and symbolizes the union between the IJohenzollern black und white and the red and white of the Hanseatic league. The Russian mercantile flag, iulrodticed by Peter the Great, was originally the Dutch flag, familiar to him from Ins studies in Holland, reversed. Later the arrangement of the three colors was varied.—London Globe. Our Mineral Wealth. The United States is not only the world's greatest producer of mineral wealth, but it po.--.- es by far the greatest known reserve of any nation In most of the important minerals. This is one of the things that has made us great and which is destined to make us far greater as measured by world standards. In some instances, such as coal mid oil ami phosphate rock and radium ore. the United States possesses more than all the othei known deposits of the world, and the only essential minerals of the first rank of which the United States has no known supply at all commensurate with its needs are nitrates, potash, salts, tin. nickel and platinum. Bui. as it stands today no other nation in the world so nearly approaches absolute independence in respect to minera resources notwithstanding the vnsl magnitude of our home consumption.— Review of Reviews.

Why Some Women Look Dowdy. In the Woman’s Home Companion Grace Margaret Gould, fashion editor of that publication, explains how fashions have to be applied differently to different individuals. A woman maybe fashionably dressed and still look like a frump. Following is an extract from what she has to say: •‘The- new fashions, generally speaking. each season attempt to give grace and beauty to women as a whole, but for each individual me there must be discrimination. ‘•Fashion favors a style for every body and everybody in style, but yet oi. woman’s style is another woman's dowdiness, just as one man’s meat is another man’s poison. There Is danger therefore in following blindly the dictates of fashion, for what is attractive for one woman may be ridiculous for another.” Geography. There are many little errors of geography that are more or less prevalent. A glance at the globe, for instance, corrects the notion that France is just about east of England. Nearly half of France lies, in fact, west of Dover. Lisbon is not only west of London, but is west of the entire island of England and even west of Dublin. Even Madrid is west of London. It was not until the Spanish war and the Oregon's wonderful swing round the circle to join Admiral Sampson that this country came to see by tire map that the whole continent of South America is east of New York. And not until Colonel Goethals got to work did we understand that the Pacific end of the Panama canal is east of the Atlantic end.—Topeka Capital. Beauty of Zambesi Falls. To realize fully the wondrous beauty of the Zambezi falls, Rhodesia, one must Lave time to linger and watch the ever changing scene. The depths of the chasm below are veiled from sight by the rising columns of opalescent mist and above the yawning abyss the sun glints and sparkles, weaving the drops into a magnificent rainbow. Three hundred feet below roars and boils the swirling flood as it emerges from the Boiling Pot, rushing on down the zigzag gorge between tow ering cliffs of rock, narrow, tierce and of unfathomable depth. — African World. Harness Work. Bill—What's your friend's business? Jill—lie’s a harness maker. ■‘Well, here's something he may be able to succeed at. This paper says more than 400 patents have been issued by the United States for devices intended to harness the power of sea waves.”—Yonkers Statesman. Accumulative Stage. "I always envy the m;m who can take life easy and let his money work for him.” "So do I. but unfortunately in a majority of cases a man has to work for his money before his money will work for him.”—Boston Transcript. The Operator. "My brother had a part of his speech cut out the other day." “What surgeon was the operator?” "No surgeon: just plain telephone pirl."—Exchange. Color Scheme. ''When a man with a yellow streak g(>ts b’rno he turns green with envy of some one ho thinks more fortunate.— Chicago Post. He is not always at ease who laughs. —St. Evremond.
