Ilinnoeratic Era In Medicine
Richard Cole Newton declares timt
even in the early days of the Ilippo
cratic era the art of surgery eschewed
all forms of superstition and philosoph
ical conjecture attaining practical re
sults by direct methods At a very
earl- age the profession of medicine
was fully recognized in Greece and in
many cases was generously rewarded
We read of swindlers and charlatans
in those days too Patent medicines
were also sold The Hippoeratic oath
which for over twenty centuries has
remained practically unchanged is an
evidence of the sagacity the sense of
professional honor and responsibility
and the clear thinking of the Greeks
Hippocrates was born on the island of
Cos in 400 B C A large collection of
writings evidently the work of many
physicians whose identity is unknown
has been ascribed to the pen of this
leader The Greeks were wonderfully
brilliant In medical attainments for
they studied nature and her methods
and shook themselves free from a
monumental load of ignorance and su
perstition The synchronous develop
ment of mind and body was the funda
mental rule both of health and

The Discipline of Failure
The best skating is always on thin
ice we like to feel it crack and yield
under our feet There is a deadly fas
cination in the thought of twenty or
thirty feet of cold water beneath Last
years mortality list cuts no ice with us
We must make our own experiments
while Dr Experience screams himself
hoarse from his bonfire on the bank
He has held many an inquest on this
darkling shore of the river of time and
he will undoubtedly live to hold many
another but thus far we have not been
the subjects and when it comes to the
mistakes of others we are all delighted
to serve on the coroners jury It isnt
well for us to be saved from too many
blunders We need the discipline of
failure It Is better to fail than never
to try and the man who can contem
plate the graveyard of his own hopes
without bitterness will not always be
ignored by the gods of success Mere

Tree That Gives Liht
Among freaks of nature in trees there
stands conspicuous one known as the
Asiatic star tree It is enormously
tall growing to a height of from sixty
feet to eighty feet while from the
ground up to a distance of about forty
feet the trunk is perfectly bare From
that point there spring a number of
tangled limbs which shoot out clusters
of long pointed leaves and it is these
grouped together that emit at night a
clear phosphorescent light This gives
the tree a spectral appearance and is
very deceiving to travelers who fre
quently mistake the glow for an illu
minated window of a house The light
Is not brilliant but is of sufficient
strength to allow of a newspaper be
ing read by It It does not flicker but
glows steadily from sunset to day

Men Who Walked on All Fonrs
In the kingdom of Poland there was
formerly a law according to which any
person found guilty of slander was
compelled to walk on all fours through
the streets of the town where he lived
accompanied by the beadle as a sign
that he was disgraced and unworthy
of the name of man At the next pub
lic festival the delinquent was forced
to appear crawling upon hands and
knees underneath the banqueting ta
ble and barking like a dog Every
guest was at liberty to give him as
many kicks as he chose and he who
had been slandered must toward the
end of the banquet throw a picked
bone at the culprit who picking it up
with his mouth would leave the room
on all fours

IVSaking the Flag
largest American Has in the
THE herewith iilustritel was
exhibited last year for the first
time lu Denver It was djsign
ed as an ornament for the building
used for Grand Army encampments
and other great meetings and it
ers almost the entire front of the huge
structure It Is 11 feet in length C3
feet in width and lias stars two feet
across The stripes are four feet two
inches in Avidth and there are 1ioO
yards of bunting in the Hag The in- j
tention at Hrst was to have Hie Hag
float from a staff in front of the build
inc but no pole of sufficient strength j
could be obtained the bunting weigh-
ing pounds j
You may be interested in learning
how such big flags are made The
bunting comes in huge rolls of solid
Experienced hands do this work These
stripes are then passed to the hands of
girls who sew them on machines of
special manufacture that are unlike
those of the patient housewife The
sMtpll l tlio fltn nP tfln i miimrw I
is the rapidity with which they are
sewed the thread being fed from
spools that hold 2 1000 yards
There is no stitching more faultless
than that on the silk Hag even though
It is accomplished faster than any
other sewed by machinery There are
no skipped stitches a fact proving
that the ingenuity of the machine is
aided by the skill of the girls whose
duty it is to see that the stripes of the
flag never stray from the straight and
narrow Avay that crosses the table on
which thousands of yards of silk and
bunting travel annually The stripes
of the flags now being sewed together
by the aid of electricity the ends of
the flag are hemmed not a broad hem
but a narrow one so finely done that
it would take the eye of an expert to
distinguish it from a selvage
Now the flag is ready for the union
a blue field upon which sparkle forty
five bright diamond like stars a star
for every state The stars are five
pointed and each point is precisely
like the other No hand can ever be
come so skilled as to have every point
a counterpart of the other and for this
reason the stars are cut out by dies

THE LARGEST AMERICAN FLAG IK EXIST
ENCE
that never make mistakes The white
cloth is folded in forty five thicknesses
and placed beneath the die Every
time the ponderous press comes down
the sharp steel cuts forty five stars a
whole constellation The rapidity with
which the stars are created depends or
the agility and skill of the workman in
removing the cloth
Long rows of girls at each side of
long tables covered with blue cloth
are always ready for the stars as soon
as they are handed to them It is the
task of these people to place the five
pointed emblems of statehood on the
familiar blue fields a feat not so easily
accomplished as might be imagined
The position of the stars must not vary
even a sixteenth of an inch The stars
differ m magnitude to correspond with
the dimensions of the different flags
and each size has its ratio of position
The stars of the union on every flag
are arranged in six rows alternating
eight and seven
After they are placed in position the
basters are summoned who after ac
complishing their task pass the stars
and cloth to the girls who sew them
firmly in place with an artistic stitch
at the same rate of speed that the
stripes were linked together The un
ion as the field with its starry clusters
is called passes to the trimmers who
remove the basting threads and the
stray pieces of silk and wool After
the unions are properly dressed they
are given to another set of workers
who unite the stars and stripes
The flag then passes to the finishers
who sew strong canvas bands across
the headings in the corners of which
are placed grommets or eyelets that
are clinched together by metal teeth
In the large flags rope passes through
the canvas Thus is the flag completed
and ready to be mounted on a staff or
to float from halyards from the
dawns early light to the twilights last
gleaming Los Angeles Herald
