Lui.u Komz , Co. Supt.
Our first United States Hag was
adopted by congress June 14 , 1777.
lit was made by Betey Koss. The
'stars and white stripes were made
'm a soldier's white shirt , the blue
field out or'an old army overcoat
and the red out of an old flannel
shirt.
The white stands for purity , the
blue for truth and the reel for
bravery.
If you notice , this flag has thir
teen stripe ? , each representing one
of the thirteen English colonies
which uere settled over here in
America , between the years of
16U7 and 173 : ) . These colonies ,
together with new ones , form what
is now our United States. Also ,
if , \ou notice this ( lag , you can
count forty-six starin this field
of bhie , each representing one
j-tate , making forty-cix inseparable
and unconquerable states , all unit-p
-d together under one go\ eminent j
; uid one president , Theodore Reese
velt. You cm ail remember the
battle of Saratoga , when our stars
arid stripes did their first public
service on land , and Paul Jones
\\as\ \ the ill t man to raise it on sea.
June U , 1'JOo was the 127ch anni
versary of our Hag and is set by
as a national holii . y. The flag is
the emblem of the nation's sovereignty
eignty , around it clusters all that i.s
ennobling in national life.
Under our form of government
the fhig guarantees civil and re
ligious liberty , equality before the
law and represents true progress
in the world of uction , it stands
i'or peace and ; \et a warning to
tyranny and oppression , pledging. '
the nation's power in the enforce- !
inent of justice ; it waves in its !
sustained glory over more than
uP { > ivsvomuf ? anil con-
tented people and welcomes to its
sheltering folds the oppressed of
other nations. When it is con
sidered what it has cost to give
birth to this flag , what it has cost
to maint-iin ic and what it means
to our nation and to the world ,
there is no honor too great to be
conferred upon it. Our fhg was
born in the throes of liberty ,
wounded in the battles of freedom
and sanctified in the cause of hu
manity. This flag has ever been
raised in honor and never lowered
in disgrace. Next to the Holy
writ it is our guide , and it is to be
loved and hoLored by all.

RTI
AND TUMBLER TRICK.
Money Appears and Disappears at Will
of Operator.
The accompanying sketch shows how
a good triclc may be easily performed
by any one. Lay a piece of heavy pa
per that is free from creates on a
board or table. Secure three tumblers
that are alike and stick a piece of the
same heavy paper over the openings in
tv/o of them , neatly trimming it all
around the edges so as to leave noth
ing of the paper for any one to see.
Make three covers of paper as shown
fn Fig 1 to put over iho turn liters.
fin.2.
. .
THE THICK EXPLAINED.
Place three coins 0:1 the sheet of pa
per , then the tumblers with covers on
top of the coins , the unprepared tuui-
bier being in the middle. Now lift
the covers off the end tumblers , and
you will see that the paper on the
openings covers the coins. Replace
the covers. lift the middle one ( Fig. 2) ) ,
and a coin will be seen under the tum
bler , as the opening of this tumbler is
not covered. Drop the cover back
again and lift the other tumblers and
covers bodily so that the spectators
can see the coins , remarking at the
same time that you can make them
vanish from one to the other.
The openings of the tumblers must
| never be exposed so that any one can
see them , and a safe way to do this is
to keep them level with the table.
Popular Mechanics.
GAME WITH A SECRET.
"What Will You Take to the Picnic ? "
Is a Fun Provokor.
Hero is a nrne that will furnish lots
of fun wherever there is a gathering
of young people. The game is called
"What v. ill you take to the picnic ? "
and is played in the following manner :
To begin with , only one should be
let into Hie secret. a if all knew it
would be uo fun. Suppose the hostess
is the one familiar with the game.
She then commences by announcing
that ? he proposes to give a picnic and
that it depends upon what her guests
bring whether they will be allowed
to come or not. Each must furnish
two articles of food.
She then aks the person nearest
her , "What vail you bring to the picnic -
nic ? " If the name of neither of the
articles the player mentions commences
with the initial letter of his or her
Christian or surname , the hostess says
the player cannot go and immediately
puts the question to the next person
and then all the way round , asking
each. "What will you bring to the pic
nic ? "
For example , suppose one girl's name
is Mary Smith and that her donation
is candy and bread. Then she cannot
go , for neither of her names com
mences with C or C , but if she took
sandwiches and macaroons she would
be doubly welcome , for M and S are
both her initials. Should she take
si'gar and crackers she could go , for
one of her names commences with S.
Continue to ask the question until
everybody finally understands why
he may either go or stay home from
the picnic. It is very amusing when !
all but one or two have found out. and ,
they sometimes have to be asked over
and over again until they finally dis
cover why they are not wanted.
