NAVAL FLAGS.
THE GOVERNMENT FACTORY FOR
MAKING PENNANTS.
Busily Bespangling Our Banner With
Four New Stars.
Visitors, reporters nnd others who
attended tho MoCalla court martial nt
the Brooklyn Navy Y’tml, had their
attention attracted by great piles of
brillintit luted bunting, either spread
on the floor or heaped up on the tables
of a room just across the hall from the
one used by the court martial.
lt is in this room and the adjoining
one that all the flags used in tlie
United Mates Navy are manufactured.
In the first room, flag6 are measured,
cut and designed, and in the second
the work of embroidering and putting
them together is carried on.
Just now 1111 unusually large force
is hard at work, as all the old flags,
which contain but 88 stars, will give
way to new ones, to which have been
added four more stars, representing
the four new states. The new flags
are being made under special orders
from the Bureau of Construction and
Equipment. The flags that arc in 1
good slate of preservation will not he
destroyed, but a new jack, containing
the additional stars, will take the place
of the old one.
Not only are United States flags and
pennants made at the Brooklyn Navy-
yard, but the llag3 and emblems of
every nation in the world are also made
there. Every United States man-oft
war when die goes abroad carries wilh
her the colors of every nation that she
is about to visit. This is done in order
that she may be al le to raise the colors
of every distinguished foreigner w ho
may come aboard.
The flags and pennants of nearly all
other countries are more expensive
than those of the United States. This
is largely due to the intricate devices
on foreign flags, such us conts-of-anns.
On many flags these devices are either
painted or slumped on the flag. Not
so, however, with tho flags manu¬
factured under the supervision of the
United States. On such flags all de¬
vice.** arc embroidered by band, and as
many of them arc intricate to work,
they add not a little to the cost. Some
of the designs arc very handsome, nnd
require no small amount of skill to
finish in an artistic manner.
There is no embroidery of any kind
on tho regular Union Jack, but tho
flags of the 1 ’resident of the United
States, tho Secretary of the Navy and
the Admiral arc all decorated.
The naval flags of the United Slates
consist of about 30 different designs,
including the signal code of our navy
and the international signal code.
All the work is done bv women, ex¬
cept. the cutting and roping. In order
to do the cutting properly an intimate
knowledge of the material used is nec¬
essary, as on this depends not only the
correct hang of the flag and the swing
it will have when carried by tho
breeze, but the wearing quality of tho
flag will he in a largo measure cur¬
tailed if it is not properly cut. That
is, if tiie material is not cut in n cer¬
tain way, the flag will soon wear or
flan itself to pieces.
The largest United States 11 g mado
at the Navy Yard is 36 feet long nnd
19 feet wide. The pennants are made
in four different sizes for vessels and
two for boats. Tiie former are 70, 40,
25 and 20 feet in length, while tho
latter are six and nine feet.
One of the curiosities nt the yard is
what is known as a homeward hound
pennant over 400 feet in length. Peo¬
ple who were down tho bay the day
of the naval parade will remember
that the Boston flew from her mast an
enormous pennant.
When a man-of-war goes on a cruise
which promises to be a long one, her
quartermaster carefully preserves what
is known as the tale of each pennant
which lias become too much worn for
further use. These tails are sowed to¬
gether, and the longer tho pennant
thus made, tho greater the length of
time it indicates that the vessel has
been at service.
It may be imagined with what feel¬
ing's of pride, sailors watch a 400-foot
pennant flying from the mast as the
ship plows her way homeward. Tho
pennant now in tho Navy Yard was
taken from the Lancaster after her
long cruise several years ago.—[N. Y.

An Enormous Chain.
The big chain that was used in rais¬
ing the steamer Armstrong was made
by the British government for tiie pur¬
pose of blockading the harbor in the
Crimean war. lt was sent out to Que¬
bec, Canada, by the British adini ally,
many years ago, to be sold for what it
would bring. Some idea of its size
and strength may be conveyed by Hie
fact that each link of this great chain
weighs 68 pouuds, and is supposed to
have a breakage capacity of 125 tons.

USE of the UOEI.EK.
A farm roller is a most important
nnd valuable implement for those who
exercise good judgment as to when i
is to be used. It is just what is needed
to press winter grain firmly in the
ground after tiie surface has dried
sufficiently. It is also excellent on
clover in spring to press down small
stones tiiat might betn the way of close
cutting wi.h the mower. But i: should
not be used 011 spring grain until the
latter is tip three or four inches, nor
on corn ground at any season if the
soil be at all heavy. Corn ground
needs to be light as possible, and it
must be made mellow by harrowing
up, not by rolling down.—[New York
Herald.
FOUND TREASURE INDIRECTLY.
A father, dying, told his sons that
there was treasure buried on liis farm,
but did not disclose the s; ot. They,
iu their seu-cli, dug the farm over bo
thoroughly that it proved a mine of
wealth. It is simply incredible to
many what wonders can be wrought
by thorough, persistent, wise cultiva¬
tion of the commonest and poores'
farms. I have seen very poor, worn-
out farms change hands, when a few
years would produce an almost magi¬
cal change, and this, too, without any
great outlay—all due to careful man¬
agement, rotation of crops, resting the
land, etc. So, too, have L seen good
farms by a change of owners degeu-
crata to a shameful degree.— [Now

FEATHER eating.
Birds at liberty do not often acquire
tiie habit of feather eating. The want
of exercise, the general discomfort felt
during the cold weather, the lack of
animal food and of salt arc thought by
poultry men to be the leading causes of
this bad habit. It may also be tlm
con lined few,s do not obtain something
that is necessary to them, that we do
not know of, but which when at
liberty they find for themselves, aud
the feathers satisfy tiie craving thus
engendered. William Eekles, Kansas,
says, as a preventive keep a pan of salt
when! they can help themselves when¬
ever they wish. Of course have water
handy too.
After the habit lias been acquired,
the best remedy is f ee range; when
this cannot bo had, give moat cr.t up
in small pieces mixed Avitli soft food,
if but two or three fowis iiave gotten
into the habit, unless very valuable it
it is best to kill them, or at least
separate them from the rest of the
flock.— [Farm, Field and Stockman.
how-horse radish is grown.
Near large cities vast quautitiesof this
plant are grown, and usually as a crop
to follow others put in early. For ex¬
ample it may be planted between tho
rows of early cabbage, which will give
the rows the same distance apart as the
cabbage, two or three foet, the root¬
being fifteen to eighteen inches apart
; 11 the rows. The planting is per¬
formed by making holes ten to twelve
inches deep by a planting-stick or light
crowbar. A piece of root is dropped
into each hole, leaving the top two or
three inches below the surface. By
having the roots below the surface no
injury is affected by hoeing over in the
ear!v growth of the cabbage. And by
the time of tho last hoeing of the cab¬
bage the horse-radish begins to show
top-growth, aud when the cabbage
comes off, has the ground to itself. It
is a crop that requires very little after-
attention, except to keep down the
weeds by the hoc the entire summer;
and it usually well repays when the
crop is taken off
Of course any early crop-ground is
as good as the cabbage quarter, the
only feature is to have such a crop as
will come off 1 , say in July. By grow¬
ing this way, one summer suffices to
give good, ftout, clear roots, and is a
far better way to grow, even for fam¬
ily use, than the old one of having the
horse-radish in some ueglected corner
to plant itso f, and big as wanted.
Such roots are gnarly and small, and
of no use as a marketable product
uow-a-days. For house use the aim
should be to grow ouly the best.—

Professor Maynard entertains a
favorable opinion of the practice of
girdling vines, to increase tho size of
he fruit as well as its earliuess, a
practice which other cultivators have
regarded with disfavor.
According to California fruit grow¬
ers rheubarb may be forced by plac¬
ing kegs or half barrels over the plants
and surrounding the same with h ating
manure. The tops of the barrels or kegs
be covered with boards or sacks.
Purulent milk is probably due to
tuberculosis in an advanced condition
the udder, by which pus is
formed by the breaking down of the
tubercles. The milk is wholly unfit
for food, and the cow should bo killod
buried.
One thing is sure, says F. I). Curtis
in American Agriculturist, there is no
food that will make better pigs or put
tho sows in better condition for bear¬
ing young than grass. It seems to be
as natural food for swine as for any
class of animals. Fruits are also natu¬
ral food for swine, and sows will do
well if fed on nothing but apples.
The cause of the weakness in the
hind legs of pigs is irritation of the
spinal nerves, probably from over¬
feeding and indigestion. Reduce the
food given and apply turpentine to the
spine. This disease is so common that
it is frequently inherited, and care
should be taken never to breed from
sows or boars so affected.

cream he loses. He says: “’When
cream is a trifle acid it is sufficiently

butter come from coagulation of the
milk, which settles to the bottom of
the cans. They should be washed out
properly.

A communication from the scene of
the war in Dahomey, Africa, describe*
the Daliomians its lighting with in¬
credible tenacity, and charging time
after time upon the defenses of Koto-
nou, in face of a deadly and mowing
fire from the French artillery. One
of the bravest of the Aiiin/.ons, or
female warriors of the King of Daho¬
mey, was a handso;r.e girl of sixteen
years, who surprised a trooper, stab¬
bing and beheading him. She met the
same fate in turn, and the black allies
of the French triumphantly placed the
head of the young Amazon on a stake
to be seen by her comrades. The
French, who were outnumbered ten to
one, fought with great valor, and the
front of the entrenchments was heaped
with dead Dahomian 1 , the latter retir¬
ing only when they had lost about one-
third of their number.— [New York

The Most Noted Pearl.
The lato Mr. Hope of Fnghuid
owned the most noted pearl of modern
times. It weighed 1800 grains, and,
although not perfect in form, was of
such enormous value that no market
price was ever put upon it. The Rus¬
sian royal jewels comprise tho most
magnificent collection of pearls in the
world.
Pearls have been put to some strange
uses. All have heard of Marc Antony
and Cleopatra drinking them dissolved
in vinegar, and Sir Thomas Gresham
once swallowed one in a glass of wine
in order that lie might pay due tribute
to his noble queen in drinking her
health. Lovers have used pearl dust
to dry the ink of their letters, and
powdered pearls in the olden time
were supposed to possess remarkable
medicinal qualities.— fChieago-Times.

the smallest remembrance of his ridicu¬
lous behavior. The nlatjt is called a

Shell Mounds of Florida.
Colonel Joseph Wilcox, one of the
managers of the Archaeological Mu-
suem of the University of Pennsyl¬
vania, recently gave a short account of
his explorations in the Florida shell
heaps. He said he had never traveled
in any part of the United States that
presented so many remains of the
former race a9 Florida. The mounds
were of two classes. Along the coast
and the banks of the rivers they were
composed of shells, while those away
from the rivers and the sea are made
of sand. These mounds are of pro¬
digious size, some of the largest being
twenty to thirty acres in extent and
twenty to forty feet in height.
The shell mounds are composed almost
exclusively of oyster shells, a large
conch ,which was evidently eaten, be¬
ing the next most plentiful. Many of
the latter have a hole broken in the
top, through which it is probable the
animal was drawn. The shells in one
of the mounds he examined varied
from those of the present day, partak¬
ing of the character of those of the
pliocene fossils, and indicate that the
mound was made a very long time
ago. He exhibited a collection of
objects from Florida, including two
gold beads, and a superb fragment of
pottery that was thought to be of
Georgia manufacture.
Iu commenting upon this piece,
which he presented to the museum, he
said that the Greek fret, the scroll
work and many forms of classical dec¬
oration are to be discovered on the
American pottery, and if we want to
study the beginning of classic art, we
should study tho aboriginal art ol
America, an art that was nipped iu tho
bud by the terrible Spanish invasion.
The museum, although only organized
last year, is so well cared for by its
friends that its collection is now secoud
to none iu the country.—fPicayuse.
