Wathington Post. There is a queer but highly intt rewind scrapbook in possession of the war de partment. It is an old ledger riptuivd by the federal troops at the fall "' llichmond. The book is not ex;m.-ed ier public exhibition, but is carefully j re served with the other records of the southern confederacy. It contains designs for a confederate flag, which were sent to the southern war department fioui all parts of Dixie, iu response to an oiKr of that government at the commencement of the war to pay a certain sum iu jold for a flag design that would prove accep table. The specimens in the ecrapbuok are of various sizes, aad kinds, some on paper, others on cotton, and some on silk. Some of the designs are as unique us they are absurd. A North Carolina My suggested a perfectly white flag of a triangular shape, similar to that of the Chinese government. She added that white was the emblem of the purity of the southern cause. A man in the far south suggested a blood red flag em blazoned with a huge white serpent above the legend, "Don't tread on me." There were numerous palmetto flags proposed, and a man in South Carolina sent in a white flag with black horizontal bars, meaning that the war was to be fought by the whites to protect their property, the blacks. One of the most absurd specimens was suggested by a woman. It was a bright yellow ground containing the portrait of Jefferson Davis. Its significance was, she said, "Our president basking in the uunlig'ht of universal prosperity." One rampant secessionist proposed aa inky black flag with the words "No quarter" on it in white letters. These are only a few of the many queer and picturesque designs. The old scrap-book is full of them. KENTUCKY CIRLS. OI;T-ImhK LIFE GIVES TIIIM THEM CHARACTE1USTIC BEAl'TT. "If there be an aristocracy in America," said J. E.

In a word, there are no women like them on the globe, and the factphat the rich men of this count, ' seek! them fur wives- proves it. A Im .CRirriON OF THE U. 8. CUUISER I MUNCHED AT l'OUSMOUTH ON THE :t ! st. 'i he "Raleigh" has a length of 300 ( i on the load water line, and an ex- i .me breadth of 42 feet. At her mean ii auial draught of 18 feet of sea water 1m r diplacement is about 3,180 tons, the iin ximum draught then being about nineteen feet. She will have two sets of engines working twiu screws. It is esti mated that her enines will develop 10,000 indicated horse power at full power, with a steam pressure of 100 pouuds. This will drive the ship at twenty knots. Her coal supply at nor mal draught will be 400 tons, the bunk ers will hold 085 tons, and with this supply she can steam 1,500 miles, at full power, or 10,500 of ten knots her most economical speed. The main aud auxiliary engines occupy four water tight compartments, and the boilers four others. The watertight subdivi.-ion at the ends of the ship is very complete. The rig is that of a two masted schooner, spreading 7,210 square feet of sail. The boats are stowed on skid beams between the two fore and aft bridges. The main armament consists of one six inch 15. L. II., mounted on the fore castle. The auxiliary armament coo.-ists ofei":ht six pounder rapid lire guns mounted, four one pounders mounted, two Catlings mounted, in the tops. The connius tower will be two inches thick, as will the tube leading from it to the pro tective deck. There are six above water torpedo tubes; fixed ones ahead and astern, and training ones on each bow and quar ter. The tubes are of the Howell pattern using gun powder to project the torpedo. The ship will be lighted by electricity, the plant consisting of two engines and dynamos, each with an outpout of 200 amperes at a constant potential of 80 volts. In addition to all necessary lights for illumination and sigualiug thero will be three Mangiu search-light projectors. The lights will be arranged ii sectious on independent conductors, all controlled from a switch-board in the dynamo room so arratiged that eithi r of the dynamos can be put on any or all of the arc or incandescent circuits. The engine power of the Baleigh is relatively larger than that of any other vessel of the U. S. Navy, except the Vesuvius and the torpedo boats occur ring aa it does iu conjunction wit). larger battery powr necessitates a larger crew. The c:.u pliincut will be about 320 24 officets, 34 marines and a crew of 26U. The rudder is partially . " .lanced. Its weight is abow 75 tons. The ordinary right and left, steeriug gear is used liquated bv a raiweifu! steam steering eugine below the protective deck It in estimated ti nt her cost completed, including armament and equipment, will be $1,542,1)15.74. The act'inl wei..U'of'the ship when launched was 1,140 tons.

Bananas fob Bronchitis An eminent medical authority prescribes syrup of bananas as one of the bent remedies fur chronic brotichitis. The dose is a draeham eight or ton ti nes a diy.

"LOVES YOUN'l OK THE AFTKK- There is an old ; have no copy of it decided language, 'cm I am sorry I -which in.i-ts in most I f yon !oc hi r ti ll her so." The au'l or of that pociu h:.d mastered the entire domestic problem, and a good part of I h" social problem, too. The daily life el' many a man and woman is made wretchedly barren and unattrac tive by -n total lack of appreciation. It is not that we really do not appreciate those who help make our homes, but we are very busy, and we have to think about our work, and there is the first of the month to meet, am), iu short, our loved ones ought to know that we love them without perpetually being teld so. No wouder there is such a lovely rose color over the days of court-hip, and no wonder it fades into very plain and eour mouplace gray so sood after learriage. The lover is continually tolling his sweet heart how dear she is to him, how ho is happy only when in her presence, and is wretched wheu she is gone. She has her little fluttering whisper, too. She loves him so, and she L so happy. Just to think of spending long, long years by his fide, being always near him, until they shall grow old '"gether, and pi rhups they will bo allowed (oh, bliss supreme) to go down to the dark river together, and cross over to the other side, hand iu hand ! It is the sober afterthought that takes all the romance oat of the case. A hus band coming homo at night, grim and taciturn, with no .yes for anything but his paper, and no thoughts for anything but his busiuess affairs why, that's dif ferent, you see; just as the hritablo little woman in tho soiled wrapper is different from the radiant gill who used to come djwn and meet hiui in the most charming dresses that ever captured the heart of man. The fact is, you couldn't expect her to remain radiant long. She has worn herself out planning little household economies, and you read your paper while she tried to te'l you about thern. She has racked her brain devising dainty dishes aud setting an alluring table, and you did not care enough to notice what she had done. She has worn out health and spirits in the care of your children, and you have done your part by sending the children to another room when you come home because they m ike you nervous Courtship, indeed! No wonder the little woman looks buck over tho sweet, trivial nothings of that happy time, and wonders whether there is such a tiling as love, af ter all, and what it is like. "My wife ought to know that I love her without being always told of it," re torts the "man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority." How would she know it, pray ? You have been known to caress your horc frequently, and your dag never comes about you without re ceiving a loving word or an affectionate pat on the head. Yet the heart of a loving woman, and that woman your wife. is wounded and sore under your long indifference. "If you love her tell her so." There is a time to tell those things, you understand, and a time when it is too late to tell them, The saddest thing about bending over a tired face, about to be shut away under a nnflin lid, is that the earsarc closed, and would not hear our agonized protestations of love, though we slnmted till our throats are rent. How willing wo are to kiss the pallid lips, the .i.urblo forehead, but they thrill no more beneath our touch ! What a pity we did not thiuk to kiss them oftener when the warm blood throbbed beneath them! There will always be plenty of time for love, we thought, and then wo were so But, ah, there was not plenty r f time! SmLcm's Catakiui Remedy.
