TfT I for architectural and other display are not
J immediately profitable. If they are ultimately
to be ausceptlble of trustworthy estimation.
There la reason to believe that they are an in
Jury rather than a benefit lo the cities where
they are held. They attract great numbers of workmen
nd others while the money la going for construction,
etc., and there Is an appearance of prosperity. This appear
ance la prolonged while visitors Hie pouring In and spend
lug money, but the cost which is borne in the ilrst Instance,
mostly by local purchasers of stock, Is never covered by re
ceipts, or anywhere near covered. A great share of It is
lost beyond recovery. Koine are benefited In various ways,
but ou the whole the loss exceeds the gain. The expo
sitlon city sustains Injury In consequence of a sudden
boom In real estate, followed by a long season of depression
and dullness. It sustains still more Injury from the Influx
of sn undesirable population, which to a great extent re
mains stranded and a public burden, taking the form of an
Increase In pauperism and crime.
This has come to be so well understood that It will prob
ably be more diftlcult hereafter to Induce people to con
tribute the money for the preliminary work. It Is not Im
probable that In future world's expositions the exhibits will
be much less extensive and more choice. T his would great
ly reduce the cost, and the results would be more satisfuc
tory to those who get a comprehensive view of what Is
going on In the world. Less bigness, less of the gorgeous
and spectacular, will make world's fairs more profitable
and of greater educational value. Chicago Lhrouiele.
P
Art of Keeping a Secret
IF.RSoNS that can keep a secret are few. A
secret seems to give most people a colic until
Ithey relieve the pressure by breathing the
I treasured Information Into other ears. Eveti
when the secret reflects shame on the pos
Isessor he is sorely tempted to share It with
somebody. In that case the Instinct for confession takes
the place of the vainglorious motives which, In other cases,
loosen the tongues of the custodians of n secret. The or
dinary person, having a secret, feels proud of It. He goes
about with Uie thought In hi mind that be knows some
thing that would amaze people should they be informed of
it. Like the b-ubcr of King Midas, of Phrygia. who dis
covered that bis master had asses' ears, be must tell the
news or burst; but he seldom display the shrewdness of
the larber, who whispered the awful Information Into a
hole in the ground and then covered up the hole.
Stevenson said that a Scot would keep a necret just for
the exercise of keeping It, but even S-otia has Its babbler.
Human nature is Instinctively communicative. There is
scarcely a human being, man or woman, that has not one
ontitLuit. The rarely gifted perHons that absorb seciet.s a5
black felt absorbs light, giving out nothing and Into whose
unyielding breasts secrets may be deposited In the firm
faith that they will go no further, are not to be found on
every corner. J hey are almost as scarce as ceriiaurs.
There Is only one secure method of keeping a secret, and
that Is to keep It. A secret may be defined as Information
known only to one person. Telling a secret to one friend
though he be pledged w ith awful oaths to let It go no fur
ther, is like taking the first drink of whisky; It la the initial
step toward danger. So long as the toper refrains from
the first drink he will not get drunk, and so long as the
treasurer f a secret keeps It locked up closely In his own
mind, communicating It to no one at all, the secret Is safe.

criminals ure Increasing with reference to the population

this standard of propriety mid good conduct and of social

over to Captain Taylor, who Is an ex

up the history of the Philippine from
the public documents captured from
the Filipinos. He made a reply which
Indicated that not so many words conic
over from the Philippines, although
thousands of United States soldiers
have wpent yirs In the Islands. Prob
ably the Tajralog language nnd the
language of the different tribes do not
Impress the Americans who go to the

The Graftou Press, New York, well

Levett Yeats, who made readers
gruteful for his first book, "The Hon

nlso a historical romance, coming out
unde, the title of "Orraln." The
scene Is laid In the days of Henry II.
of France and Its historical Interest
centers in the struggle between Cath

"Christian Science" is the title of a
book which Mrs. Mary Piatt I'armele

to Inquire If It Is either Christian or
science, and to "discuss dlapiisKonnte

prrors. This seems queer, since we
have been told that Christian Science

AMERICAN FLAG IN BATTLE.
Kccord of the Union Standard from
lirnndywlne to Suntluuo.
Although the resolution by which
the flag became a national standard
was not olliclally promulgated by the
secretary of Congress until Sept. 3,
1 777, It seems well authenticated that
'he regulation stars and stripes was
carried nt the Iwittle of Brandywlne,
fought Sept 11, 1777. This shows that
Jie contract entered Into by Betsy Ross
must have been carried out with great
Ntpedltlon, and. that the flags had
been distributed among the line regi
ments of the revolutionary army early
In September. The flag first dis
played In battle at Brandywlne Creek
hnd thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white, and as a union thirteen white
stars were displayed on a blue field.
The flag which was carried by the
men In blue and buff during the bat
tics of the revolution remained nn
thnngetl until the first day of May,
17!)5, wh'-n, by a previous act of Con
ress, two additional stripes were ndd
d to the body of the standard nnd
wo stars to the union. These nddl
'lons were made to represent the
Jtates of Vermont nnd Kentucky,
vhlch had just been admitted to the
federal union, As no further change
vns made In the national flag until
1818, It follows Uiat the regimental col
ors carried during the war of 113
were of tht dttdgu. Thus the Amerl
can flags surrendered bv General Hull
at iMftroit, and thoe captured by the
British at Bladensburg and Washing
ton niUHt ail have displayed fifteet
alternate red and whtie Mripe. at
well as the fifteen Mars of the union
In lfrlH. by an act of Congress, tht
stripes of the national flag were agait
reduced to thirteen, and it was de
clared that the addition of a star lo
the union should thenceforward rep
resent each new State. A newspapei
of the time, still kept lir the govern
nient archives, said. "By this regula
tion the thirteen Miipcs will repitseiii
the number of States whose valor and
resources originally effected the Amer
ican Independence, and additions'
stais will mark the increase of th
States since the present constitution.'
From this time on the increase of
stars In the constellation which formed
the union was steady, and during tin
war with Mexico, in lsp), twenty-nine
white stars were displayed in the blur
field.
The flags borne by the regimenfs of
the northern army during the foul
years of the great civil war had thirty
five stars In the union. This was th
full number of States then forming tiif
national federation, as the United
States government had refused to rec
ognize the coustitutionnl right of a
State to secede from the union. Tin
retention of the stars represent ing tht
Southern States was regarded as a
serious breach of military etiquette by
the more punctilious of the Confeder
ate leaders, and the capture of one of
the Federal standards was alwayi
well rewarded by the authorities al
Richmond.
The regimental Hugs carried by the
regular and volunteer regiments dur
ing the Spanish war of 1KU8 displayed
forty five stars in the blue field of the
union, ten new States having been
added to the federation since the great
civil struggle which so nearly severed
the republic. This was also the first
foreign war In which the State troopi
of the reunited country appeared in
the field together, and It was the flrsl
occasion on which former Confederat
officers of high rank resumed the uni
form of the United States service
The great garrison flag which wa
hoisted over Santiago after the sur
render of the city by the Spanish com
mandant measured twenty feet It
width by thirty-six feet in length, the
forty five white stars which formed
the union showing distinctly again
the bright blue of the field. Philadel

FORMS OF BEGGING.
COLLECTING TRANSFERS FAD.

"Transfer, please," said a passcn
ger on a Broadway car.
"Where to?" asked the conductor.
"1 don't care," answered the man
"Any old pla-ce. I'm not going to us
It anyhow."
"CollecUn' 'em?" inquired the con
ductor, and the passenger nodded.
It wasn't a rush hour and the con
ductor had time to talk. "That' th
newest freak," he explained to the man
on the back platform. "Oollectlni
transfers. I suppose about once a
week some chap tackles me for a trail a
fer to add to his collection. Of course,
we won't hear that part of it officially.
We've got to give transfers when tbej
are asked for, and what's done with
them Is none of our business.
"A man who travels with me quiti
often showed me the other day a col
lection of nearly 400 transfers thai
he'd gathered. They represented aboul
every city in the country of more than
10,000 population. This man said he'd
picked them up on his own travels,
through friend in various places, and
even by writing to the street railway
companies direct for theru.
"All transfers are patterned on th
same general style nowadays. That
is, they are marked off Into little sec
tions containing the transfer points
the hours and minutes for the tim
limit, the dates and so on. The eon
ductor punches one of each of the sec
tlons.
"Out In Salt Lake City they stil

transfers are printed a lot of little
pictures of men a.nd women and chil
dren. There is a man -with a smooth
face, a uittn with a mustache and a
man with a full beard; a youug wo
man and an old woman; a toy and a

"A fashion Uiat prevailed not
naiiy years ago started with this form
lla: "'Mister, I don't want any money,
Krt a cent, but I'm hungry. I want
something to eat. Take me to some
estaurant and gi' me sometiilng to eat.
don't fiive me the money; you pay
for it youieif. Only gi' me sjim tiling
lo eat.'
"The theory of the Inventor of this
.'orm of begging was that first it would
ippeal by its apparent sincerity; and,
Ms-oudly, that the person thus asked
Cor a meal wouldn't have time to turn
iside from business to take the beggar
X) a restaurant, and so if he were iui
ressed would give the beggar money;
Ahich, of course, was what the beggar
A anted.
"This form of begging was very pop
jlar and successful for a time. It
sven came to have quite a literature.
"There was, for instance, the story
it the hardy and able man who. held
ip with this appeal, dragged the beg
?ar to a restaurant and there compell
i him to eat standing over him with
i club and, though the beggar had
tlready eaten four breakfasts, forcing
lim to keep on eating until he begged
for mercy. v
"And there was the story of tha
beggar told by himself In u beggar's
olnt of how In one short afternoon
'ie had been compelled by seven stingy
givers to eat in quick succe'ion ser
un meals of doughnuts and sinkers.
Thus the stories ran. I had one actual
ixperlence of my own:
"I'm no Judge of beggars, I frankly
confess; I can't always tell by nny
means whether a beggar Is worthy or
lot. But once, when this form of
jogging was common, I met a tall,
dim young man who stopped and said
x) me: 'Mister, I'm hungry, can't you
gi' me something to eat'i" I took a
iiance and took the young man to a
restaurant.
"I couldn't tell whether he was j,.st
i beggar who had learned the patter
ir whether that request had Just come
jp out of him spontaneously, but the
Instant I had said 'Come along' I felt
sure he was all right; for that instant
fie stopped being a beggar and smiled
up and walked nlong with nie, not
cringing, but as if I was his friend.
"And was he really hungry? Well,
you should have seen him eat.
" 'Son,' says I to him, when he got
to the restaurant, 'there's the bill of
fare. Feed yourself,' and he did.
"I tlilnlt he must have been a young
shipwrecked sailor who had been sev
enteen days In an open boat without
food, or something of that sort; but
certainly he was of tubular construc
tion Inside, hollow all the way down,
for his storage capacity was something
stupendous.
"Eat? I never saw a man eat so in
my life, and I never saw a man enjoy
i meal so much. I like to eat myself
ind have been hungry at times, but I
lou't suppose I ever ate anything that
rasted so good to me as that meal did
to him.
"Lucky it was a cheap restaurant,
for I had only about a dollar nnd a
