The "tyranny of littleness" la the cruel despotism not of one master, but of a multitude of small ones. Witness the Ironclad sway which any sovereign ruler of the kitchen may wield over a he!p!css household. What happiness or misery Is bestowed lightly by one who turns a toaster or brews a pot of cof fee! We are all slaves to milliners and tailors. The milkman holds us helpless in his clutches. The chore man orders us about. The maid of all work beck ons, and we . follow. We bow and scrape before the haughty plumber. We who would strike down mon crchs and measure swords with min isters of -finance, what sorry figures we cat in the community If slighted by the laundrymea! We scarce can hold our own against a surly railway por ter, and It is "but by the courtesy of Master Boots that we emerge from our hotel apartment. And who shall stand before the overwhelming power vested in an offended waiter? We cannot even mount a trolley car If the conductor and motorman choose to Ig nore ns. The man who rules the Stock Ex change cannot rest at uijrht because an infant's voice banishes dreams. He Is a victim to the insect world. Who will abolish the tyranny of flies and of mosquitoes? Behold the tyranny of horses, dogs and cats, to which the great majority of mortals submit without a murmur. What master is as exacting as a tight shoe or a torturing collar? A parrot or a pot canary can sadly try men's souls! Yes. "things are in the saddle nod ride mankind." Who will do justice to the tyranny of the depraved Inanimate taskmasters? A diamond necklace changes the his tory of empires. A courtier's cloak may pave the way to royal favor. A glove, a handkerchief, a glass slipper, what things to conjure with! Slaves of the lamp! Slaves of the ring! Ah, the supremacy of trivial things, that one real tj'ranny to which we all bow down! Is there no hope that we may some day throw off the heavy yoke? Well Is It for us to meditate upon this vital problem which touches each so closely. And as we meditate we may grow wise enough to break some of the multitudinous shackels thi't hold us spiritless and helpless in the power of the arch tyrant, "IJttle Things."

Dipping the flag is lowcrlns It slleht- ly and hoisting It again to salute a ves- J aci or lort. The yellow flag 6hows a vessel to be tn quarantine or Is a sign of a conta gious disease. A "flax of trace" Is a white flag dis played t van enemy to indicate a deslra for parley or consultation. The. red flag In our service Is a mark of danger aud shows a vessel to be re ceiving or discharging her powder. A flag at half mast means mourning. Fishing and other vessels return with the flag at half mast to announce the lose or death of some of their crew. Flags are used as the symbol of rank and command, tlie officers using them being called "flag officers." Such flags are square to distinguish them from other banners. The white flag Is a sign of peace. After a battle parties from both sides often go out to tue fiela to rescue the wounded or bury the dead under the protection of the white flag. If the president of the United States goes aboard, the American flag is car ried In the bow of his barge or hoisted at the mast of the vessel on board of which he is. New Education.

A naval officer engaged in ordnance duty on a home station was given to talking in his sleep. One night he awakened bla wife by starting up in bed and exclaiming in accents of pity ing distress: "She must have a new jacketl I must manage to get one for her!" The wife, knowing her husband's slumbers had never before been dis- torbed by the requirements of her wardrobe, became vastly agitated and gripped him by the arm. "William!

THE HABIT OF LYING. Wayi In Which I'Tevaricutlon Mar Be Developed. How does one become a liar that Is to say, how does the child discover a lie and habitually make use of.it? We can admit that at the beginning there Is absolute sincerity. The child through all its first years neither lies cor dissimulates. Us sentiments, H3 desires, translate themselves into words and Into acts. Its body Is the constant jauie. vve tea tue domestic to say we ; are not at home when we are; we com- : pllment people to their faces and crit- I 1 Iclse them when they are gone; we say . we are happy to see some one aud di rectly after speak cf having been an- noyed. No more is necessary. The ex- ample has been given. , We lie to the child himself. We arc j pressed by his many embarrassing questions and in order to free oursolves . from the embarrassment reply with . what is frequently a falsehood. Some i nue day he discovers the truth, and the evil is done. The gravest case 1m when ! the child is token us an accomplice In a ! ue or wuea mothcr tells him, j "Above all, do not tell this td your 1 papa." This ia the ruin of all morality I The third stage isjhe first encounter i Qf the child with society, the first :- shock with social life. The child who : tells all he knows, sees and hears, all , that he would better have left unsaid, j Is called the "tiu'ant terrible." Ills ; parents do not tell him to lie, but they , tell him it is not necessary to tell all i ne thinks. This is extremely serious, as it teaches the child that he cannot show himself as he is. This is the ! revelation of the lie obligatory. Above all, among his comrades he quickly j lea 1-113 to dissimulate, because if he is ' naive expresses all I1I3 joys, pains, de a. . - excuses certain forms of lying which are inspired by a feeling of politeness, modesty, shame. The child becomos a liar because all the world about him lies. The distinc tion between the liar and the man of sincerity Is only relative. There are in reality only two categories those who content themselves with the lies exact ed by social life and those who have habituated themselves to lying more than society wishes, to He because of cor.?e personal Interest An important cause In the develop ment of lying in children is the em ployment of excessive and IU advised punishments. The child who becomes a liar is the one who lives In perpetual terror of reproaches, humiliation or strokes. The lie for him is a supreme resource. Chicago Tribune. His Solemn Oath. A popular comedian tells a story of a waiter at n London restaurant who 1 was sadly given to drink. A party of young men determined to reform him, and one day they read to him an imag- j Inary paragraph from 11 paper relating j a terrible accident in which an lnebri- ' ate In blowing out a candle was killed j by the flame Igniting the alcoholic fumes of his breath. James pricked up his cars at this and requested that the paragraph might be read to him again, which was done, to the evident horror of the poor man, who Imme diately went in search of a Bible. Returning with this, he expressed a desire 10 take a solemn oath upon It, bemoaned the fact that he had boon a sorry tippler and was bringing himself to ru!u and then swore that never again so long a3 he lived would he at tempt to blow out a candle. lint Not With the Line.

Ll;-'i .Ue Emperor Coold Hot . :$ The Japanese royal emblems consist of a copper mirror, symbol ic of knowl edge; a steel sword, symbolizing cour age, and agate Jewels, representing mercy. The story of their origin was told thus by a Japanese official: The sun goddess became angry with the earth and withdrew into a cave, plunging everything Into darkness. The other deities could not Induce her to come out, so began to make n noise as of great rejoicing, which aroused the curiosity of the Irate goddess. She finally came to the ?uouth of the cave to learn the cause of the uproar and was told that they had found a more beautiful goddess than herself. The sun goddess came out then, demand ing to see her rival, and the crafty dei ties held the mirror before her. which drove ull her sulklness away. The sword was taken by Susenoo. the brother of the sun goddess, from the tail of an eight headed serpent that had been annually devouring a beautiful girL Susvnoo placed eight great tubs of wine In his way i nd when he was sleeping killed him u.id took the sword as a trophy. The sword Is kept In an apartment near the Imperial bedchamber 1 nd called the Room of the Sword. Ihe Jewels have also a room to themselves, and the mirror is In charge of a priest ess. The regalia have the highest sig nificance In the eyes of the people, and It Is held that no empercr can possibly rul. without the three virtues which they represent He must moreover, hold the actual tokens, aud In the Im perial code It Is enjoined that on the death of the sovereign his heir must take possession of them.

Her husband was carried off to Hol land, where he had to enlist as a pri vate soldier. His wife dressed as man aHd enlisted so as to be near her husband. She was wounded at the bat tle of linden, made a prisoner by the French and carried to St Germain-en-Laye, where she remained until she was exchanged. Then she quarreled and fought a duel with her sergeant and was transferred to another regi ment Again she wa wounded at lla millies, when her secret was ditcover ed.
