THE FLAG IN BATTLE WHEN OR WHERE IT WAS FIRST BORNE HISTORY RECORDS NOT. Its Development From the First Inanimate Object Carried Aloft on a Staff—Dear to the Hearts of Fighters In All Ages and Nations. Where in the whole world is another thing meaningless in itself that has signified so much or served so greatly in the dramas of national life as the flag? asks the London Globe. One tradition says the Saracens first carried an orthodox standard into battle and thus gave the idea, as they gave so many others, to the crusaders. But obviously the flag is far older than this, and it is interesting to note its development from the first inanimate object borne aloft on a staff so as to be generally visible down to the complicated blazonry of a royal banner in our own ages. The Egyptians thus carried before their hosts the figure of a sacred animal on a spear, and the Assyrians, as their carvings tell us, inspired the hopes and centered the attentions of their soldiers in the same way. The royal standard of the Persians for many centuries was a blacksmith's apron, and it is said a local prince in passing a hermit's cell on the way to battle one morning asked the inmate for his blessing or something expressive to put on that artless cognizance. The hermit possibly a little touchy, as even saints will be when disturbed at breakfast time, threw the chieftain the flat, round cake he was eating, which was duly added to the apron; hence the Persian "sun." The lion was an obvious afterthought. The Turks used a horse's tail, the rank of a pasha being known by the number of tails he carried, and probably this suggested the much bifurcated pennon of early western chivalry familiar to every one who has studied the Baveux tapestry or early illuminated missals. In the middle ages, devoted to display and military arrogance, the flag stood in relationship to the great captain's array as his personal armor stood to himself; it insured recognition in the melee and supplied a rallying point for the fighters such as nothing else could have done. This led to an etiquette of flags which apportioned shape and size to every rank of the peerage, from the royal standard itself down through a varied array of banners, gonfalons, pennons, ensigns and other "bits of red rag," and kept the heralds' college buay, besides supply- AN ALL AROUND CITIZEN. No One State Was Large Enough For This Son of Erin. "There was an frightman connected with the sutler's department in the civil war," said an old veteran, "who fell asleep on the battle field after Bull Run. A party of Confederate scouts saw him, and as he had no uniform their leader prodded him awake and asked: 'Who are you? Where do you belong? What's your name?'" "Begobs,' says Pat, rubbing his eyes, 'then's too many questions, und, be yure leave. I'll be afther askin' yez th' same.'" "We're McClellan's men, just from Washington." "I knew yez ware, gintlemen, and I'm that same." "Oho! That's where we've caught you. Put him under arrest, men! We belong to Beauregard's army." "Thin ye tied to me, an', suspectin' that same, I told ye the same thing yez told me,' retorted the Irishman promptly. 'Now, give me the truth, an' I'll do the same by yez. What state do ye come from?'" "From South Carolina." "So do I, an' from all the other states, begobs, an' that's where I'm thinkin' I've got the best of yez. Yez don't think I'd be slich a fule as to come all the way from Ireland to belong to wan state, do yez?"—New York Tribune. IVory as Medicine. Ivory was used as a medicine up to the end of the eighteenth century. In Schroder's "Zoology," 1659, translated into English by T. Bateson, it is thus described under the heading, "Elephas:" "His teeth are only used in medicine, vulgarly called ivory. The virtues: It cools and dryes, moderately binds cuts, strengthens the inward parts. It is good for the jaundice, it chaseth away Wormes, it is good for inveterate obstructions, it takes away the pains and weakness of the stomach, it heals the Epilepsie, drives away Melancholy, resists rottenness and poisons. It is used in infusions, and the powder is given in substance. The dose is half a dram. Preparation: i., Burnt ivory, called Spodium, and to distinguish it from the mineral Spodium, Spodium of Ivory. ii., Troches of Spodium." Ivory ground fine and made into a sort of jelly has been used as a strengthening food in more recent times by medical advice. Vassar Students' Aid. Vassar college was very glad to wel In the middle ages, devoted to display and military arrogance, the flag stood in relationship to the great captain's array as his personal armor stood to himself; it insured recognition in the melee and supplied a rallying point for the fighters such as nothing else could have done. This led to an etiquette of flags which apportioned shape and size to every rank of the peerage, from the royal standard itself down through a varied array of banners, gonfalons, pennons, ensigns and other "bits of red rag," and kept the heralds' college busy, besides supplying the poets with admirable local coloring for their battle pieces. Does not Scott tell us in some famous lines: Then fell that spotless banner white, Lord Howard's lion fall; But still Lord Marmion's falcon flew With wavering flight, while fiercer grew Around the battle yell. Here, it will be noted, the whole gist and point of the fight centers in the pennons of the leaders, and of the same vital importance of the flag there are innumerable instances in medieval literature. When the Douglas unfurled his standard at Otterburn—a flag, by the way, which is still in existence—he declared, and thought not without reason, that the mere sight of that famous cloth would put the English host to rout. And even in comparatively modern and prosaic times the belief that a dreaded captain was beneath a certain emblem has sufficed to turn the scales of battle. Thus in the French war of 1797 the French Rear Admiral Sarcy when cruising with six frigates in the bay of Bali came in sight of five or our Indiamen, one of them the Woodford, Captain Lennox. They were homeward bound and all richly laden, and to all appearances they had no chance of escape, when Captain Lennox rescued them by an act of great judgment and presence of mind. He first of all hoisted in his own ship a flag which the French admiral knew well, that of the British Admiral Rainier, blue, at the mizzen, and he made all the other ships in his company hoist pennants and ensigns to correspond. But he did more. He detached two of the Indiamen to chase and reconnoiter the enemy, and as these advanced toward the French reconnoitering frigate, the Cybele, the latter, completely deceived, made all sail to join her consorts, on which the French admiral, believing he was in the presence of a powerful British squadron, made off with his frigates under all sail, and Captain Lennox and his consorts completed their voyage in safety. The flag indeed preserved its glamour long after the time when it was the cynosure of conflict, the emblazoned meteor of victory, as Milton calls it Napoleon's officers, retreating from Moscow, burned their standards and in the excess of their bitter affection mixed ashes with wine and drank them so. The same was done at Metz and Sedan, and even today there is probably no soldier in the world who would not do a little more for his colors than for anything else within his marital horizon. The idea has penetrated into all ranks of society. To nall one's colors to the mast is the last expression of desperate resolve, just as to haunt them down indicates the abyss of humiliation. Vassar Students' Aid. Vassar college was very glad to welcome on Nov. 21 the Vassar Students Aid society. During the seven years of its existence the society has enabled a large number of students to take the college course. Its beneficiaries at the college last year numbered 20, a small number, however, in comparison with the applicants for aid. Competitive examinations or other means for testing special fitness determine the successful candidates. The aid is given in form of a loan without interest, usually to the amount of $200, or a half scholarship yearly. The society hopes also to be able to offer a fellowship soon. The regular membership of the society is composed of graduates, former students and teachers of Vassar college. The 14 local branches admit others who are interested in its object as associate members. At the recent meeting the New York, Brooklyn, Orange (N.J.) and Poughkeepsie branches were represented. The president is Mrs. Truman J. Backus and the secretary Mr. William M. Dean, both of Brooklyn. An Unjust AsperSION.

Sketch of toe industries and Resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 44 miles from the foothills, and 148 feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 82 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, San Bernardino, 20 055, and San Diego, 8400 square mile. Orange county thus confines the area of Los Angeles its irrigated lands approach to one-half those of its near the north. Riverside embraces nine area, yet it irrigates 9000 m² or a fourth more than the county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times yet its irrigated acres exceed jumbo county by nearly approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times yet it irrigates 25 000 acres in the county on the south-central is the former's irrigation as compared with that of almost the irrigated area Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses system of irrigation; the water rights; that exist in California. That is what said many a time and of figures prove it. It is the best and most productive co-lands outdoors and is settling than any other in the State. Brutally Tortured A case came to light that entailed unmercilious torture never been equaled.

But the center of strength is not the back, but the stomach. There's no strength in the back of a giant if he's starving. All strength is made from food, and food can only be converted into strength when it is perfectly digested and assimilated. When the stomach is diseased, the nutrition of food is lost and physical weakness follows. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It makes men strong and muscular, by enabling the perfect digestion and assimilation of the food eaten. "I suffered from a very obstinate case of dyspepsis," writes R. E. Secord, Esq., of 13 Eastern Av., Toronto, Ontario. "I tried a number of remedies without success. I was so far gone that I could not bear any solid food on my stomach; felt melancholy and depressed. Could not sleep nor work. A friend recommended your Golden Medical Discovery.' I have taken three bottles and it has accomplished a permanent cure." The Medical Adviser, in paper covers, is sent free on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to pay expense only. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce Buffalo, N. Y.

Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—800 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. Brutally Tortured A case came to light that for persistent and unmerciful torture has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golobick of Colusa, Cal., writes, "For 15 years I endured insufferable pain from rheumatism and nothing relieved me though I tried everything known. I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me." Just as good for liver and kidney troubles and general debility. Only 55c. Satisfaction guaranteed by J. P. Hatzfeld, druggist. J. F.

The solid cast frame now being used on the Sanders-Arnott Disc Plow is the most valuable feature added to the Disc Plow since they were placed on sale. See them before buying. No more sprung beams out of line or bolts sheared off. We have a new pattern four gang plow for the largest manacles. Any disc plow without the solid cast frame is old style. Do not be minded into buying one. Made in one, two, three and four gang patterns. The most successful disc plow in the market. Draft reduced 50 per cent. Send for circulars. We have a liberal proposition to offer any rancher who wishes to investigate the merits of this plow. Write for it.
