The flagstaffs which seeui to be an indispensable part of the modern office building often extend to an ex¬ traordinary level. height above the street The tallest in the city are those which have been erected above the domes, at the top of the two tow¬ ers on the Broadway facade of the Park Bow Building. The top of the dome is 390 feet above the sidewalk, and the trucks of the flagstaff's, which 43 4 HOW FLAGSTAFFS ABE PAINTED, (The left-hand figure shows the weight carried by stirtrup. The right-hand shows it carried on the ehair.) are fifty-seven feet in length, are therefore about 450 feet above the street level. A few days ago the foot passengers down Broadway and across the City Hall Park were watching with great interest the figure of a man who was engaged in painting these lofty poles, and the question naturally arose as to how this perilous work was done. The answer will be found in the accom panying engraving, which shows one of these aerial artists at work. His climbing apparatus is one of the very simplest kind, and consists of two short lengths of rope, each of which is provided with a slip noose which encircles the flagstaff. The upper rope carries an ordinary “bo’suu’s chair”—a plain piece of board which forms a seat astride of whjch the painter sits—and the lower rope ends in a simple foot-stirrup. In climbing the pole, the weight is first thrown on the foot-stirrup, thereby releasing the noose of the upper rope, which is then slid up the pole. The weight is now thrown on the seat and the stirrup noose being released of weight is drawn a few inches up the pole. By thus throwing the weight alternately on either rope and slacking the other, the painter is enabled to climb to the top of the pole. The painting is done from the top downward; the order of slipping the ropes being, of course, now reversed, Underneath one end of the seat ik hung the paint pot, and a dab of putty for filling up cracks and knot holes is stuck conveniently upon the same end of the seat. Tlie Best School. The best and cheapest school of journalism is the country newspaper office. No one can become a banker or a broker or a merchant by attend¬ ing a commercial college. No more cau a college course in journalism fit you for rewspaper work. Theory is one thing; practice is another. If you aspire to enter the higher ranks, work on a country weekly as a starter. There is the best possible training for a young man who desires to become an accurate writer and a reporter of events. In the city one rarely if ever meets the people he writes about, and there are no consequences to be feared on that score. But in the country there is a personal accounting in store for the scribe who garbles or errs in statement of facts. This knowledge thills the habit of accuracy into one as nothing else will. Tito Cemetery Problem. There are no less than forty-eight cemeteries in New York City and its vicinity, where lie buried the bones of over 4,000,000 men, women and children. Over 18,000 are buried annually, in Calvary, about 5000 in Potter’s Field, 4500 in Greenwood, 8000 in Holy Cross, 7500 in the Lutheran, about 2000 in Mount Olivet, about 1G00 in Most Holy about Trinity, over in 1800 Cypress in Woodlawu, Hills 1800 and nearly 4000 in the Evergreens. The combined area of our cemeteries is <3600 acres. The total acreage of our parks is only 6600. By adopting the practice of cremation we might in¬ crease the park area, as well as im¬ prove the water supply.—Victor Smith, in New York Press. A “ail Case.

Where Files Go In Winter. Some one has asked, “Where do flies go in the winter?” This Is a question of some interest, for a house fly is born fully grown and of natural size, and there are no little flies of the same species, the small ones oc¬ casionally observed being different in kind from the large onee. The house fly does not bite or pierce the skin, but gathers its food l»y a comb or rake or brush-like, tongue, with which it is able to scrape the varnish from covers of books, and it thus tickles the skin of persons upon whom it alights, to feed upon the perspiration, A fly is a scavenger, and is a vehicle by which contngious diseases are spread. It poisons wounds, and may carry deadly virus from decaying or¬ ganic matter into food, It retires from sight at the beginning of winter, but where it goes few people know If a search of the house be made flies will be found in great numbers secreted in warm places in the roof or between the partitions of floors. Last winter an architect had occa¬ sion to examine a roof, and found around the chimney myriads of flies hibernating comfortably, and suffi¬ ciently alive to fly when disturbed “in overpowering clouds.” No doubt this is a favorite winter resort for these creatures.—New’ York Press.

Clinlk Produced by Hen*. A flock of 100 liens will produce in egshells several pounds of chalk an¬ nually, and yet not a pound of the substance may exist within the cir¬ cuit of their feeding grounds. The materials of the manufacture are found in the food consumed and in the sand, brick dust, bits of bones, etc., which liens and other birds are constantly picking up. The instinct is keen for these apparently innutri¬ tions and refractory substances, and they are devoured with ns eager a relish as the cereals or insects, If hens are confined to barns or outbuild¬ ings it is obvious that the egg-produc¬ ing machiners cannot be kept long in action unless the materials for the shell are supplied.

This is true only to a limited extent. No excessive pain is healthy. Every mother should inform her¬ self for her own sake and especially INDULGENT for the sake of her daughter. Write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., MOTHERS for her advice about all matters concerning the ills of the feminine organs. Many a young girl’s beauty is wasted by unnecessary pain at time of menstruation, and many indulgent mothers with mistaken kindness permit their daughters to grow careless about physical health. Miss Carrie M. Lamb, Big Beaver, Mich., writes: “Dear Mrs. Pinkham— A year ago I suffered from profuse and irregular menstruation and leucorrhoea. My appetite was variable, stomach sour and bowels i were not regular, and was subject to pains like & colic during menstruation. I wrote you and began to ■Jsv* § take Lydia E.
