HANGING UNMOUNTED FUGS.
Correct Position of ths Union to the
Eye of the Obsorvor.
It Is sometime* a bit puzzling to
know Just how to hang a flag—Just
what la the correct position of the
onion. A letter to the New York Trib
une tells exactly bow It should be
hung:
“All rules for banging against a wall
a flag which Is not attached to Its staff
arc in reference to the right or left
hand of the observer. The union will
he in the upper right hand corner if the
strliK's are perpendicular. Thug on a
street running north and south the
flairs on the east side will have their
unions toward the north und those on
the west side will nil hnve their unions
toward the south unless some of them
are hung with stripes horizontal, when
the position of, the union will be re
versed. As one drives down the street
this may give at first the impression
that there Is no uniformity, though all
the flags may be correctly hung, but
every flng w ill be right side out despite
the diversity.”
The writer adds that a street banner
should be hung across the street at an
equal distance from both curbs; that a
flag not attached to a staff bung upon
a wall should have tbe union at tbe
top; that tbe union should be at tbe
left of tbe observer If the stripes are
horizontal; that tbe union should be at
the right of the observer if the stripes
are perpendicular.
HOW TO WIN SUCCESS.
Have Confidence In Yourself end Do
Not Lean Upon Others.
Power Is the goal of every worthy
ambition, and only weakness comes
from Imitation or dependence on oth
ers. Power la self developed, self gen
erated. We cannot Increase the strength
of oar muscles by sitting In a gym
nasium 'and letting another exercise
for us.
Nothing else so destroys the power
to stand alone as the habit of leaning
upon others. If you lean you will never
be strong or original. Stand alone or
bury your ambition to be somebody in
the world.
The man who tries to give his chil
dren a start in the world so that they
will not have so hard a time as he
had is unknowingly bringing disaster
upon them. What he calls giving them
a start will probably give them a set
back in the world. Young people need
all the motive power they can get
They are naturally leaners, Imitators,
copiers, and it is easy for them to de
velop into echoes or Imitations. They
will not walk alone while you furnish
crutches; they will lean upon you Just
as long as you will let them.
One of the greatest delusions that a
human being could ever have Is that
be Is permanently benefited by continu
ed assistance from others. — Orison
Swett Marden.
Touchy People.
Beware of touchy people. There are
always some about ready to pester you
in some way. Hurry on past so you
cannot hear them and above all refuse
to deny what they say. Just keep
sweet and go ahead and let their un
kind words swelter in the gloaming.
How much time and patience are wast
ed on touchy people! And yet such
people think they are the salt of the
earth and everybody else dirty water.
It Is a real wickedness to be touchy. It
Is as bad as l^ing aud cheating. It
does the world as much harm. We
knew a touchy person one time whose
touchiness struck in on him and he
died. We hope all our gentle readers
will escape so sorry a fate.—Ohio State
Journal.
History Mado Palatable.
Joseph Salvador, the French histo
rian, and Jules Sandeau, a novelist,
mads their meeting at a public recep
tion the occasion for a dispute as to the
respective places which they occupied
In the world of letters.
“The reading of history is like a pill
—it needs the sugar coating to make it
palatable,” argued the novelist
“Ah, but it is the ingredient which
cores, not the coating.” remarked the
historian.
“Then let us divide the honors,” said
Sandeau, "for if it were not for my
gpgar coating your historical facta
would dry on the shelves.”
Pitoh.
The Hebrew word pitch In the au
thorized version of the Scriptures (Gen
esis vl, 14) is connected with “gopher
wood.” It signified In the first Instance
the gum or resin that exuded from that
tree; hence it was transferred to all in
flammable substances and especially to
sulphur, which is found on the shores
of the Dead 3ea (Genesis xix, 24).
Quite a Feat.
“A congressman has great powers.
They used to say that you can’t recap
ture the spoken word.”

“Yet a congressman la allowed to
withdraw his remarks.” — Louisville

“Seems to be no end to the supply of
antique furniture.”
“Well, the stuff lasts forever. It Is
•o uncomfortable that it gets no actual
use.”—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Accuracy.
“Do they ring two bells for school 7“
asked a gentleman of his little niece.
“No, uncle,’’ was the reply. “They
ring one bell twice.”—Boston Globa.
