The largest flag in the world la to be exhibited under the auspices of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It waa made daring the Spanish-American war by Uiaa Josephine Mulford, N. J.

There ia also a sentimental interest connected with several of the stara of the flag, aa they were made at placea in the various States which are associated with the great events of American history. Thua, the Philadelphia star was partly made in the house of Betsey Ross, in the room in which she made the flrat American flag. Then it waa worked upon at Carpenter's Hall, in the room where the first Continental Congress assembled, and partly while sitting in Hancock's chair in Independence Hall. The New Jersey star was made at Washington's Headquartera at Norristown; the Mtryland star waa made at Fort McHenry, la honor of Fraucla Scott Key; the Virginia star was made in the Lafayette room in Washington's Mount Vernon home; the New York star was partly made at Kduncea' tavern, where Washington bade farewell to his officers, and it waa finished on board the flagship "New York."

Thi* is invariably a sign of Blasted Hopes. • Moral—Never live lu a Jay Town.— Chicago Record.  When she was Thirty-Four year* of age and was able to recite "Lucile" without looking at the Book she was married to a janitor by the name of Ernest. He had been kicked by a male when yonng and believed everything he read in the Sunday Papers. His pay was T wenty-Three a month, which was high, if you knew Ernest. She knew that these Gross Creatures were not prone to chase mere Intellectual Splendor, so she made no effirt to flag them. In all the Country ronnd there was not a Man who came up to her Plans and Specifications for a Husband. Neither was there any Man who had any time for Her. So she had a lonely Life, dreaming of the One—the Ideal. He waa a big ana strong Literary Man wearing a Prince Albert Coat, a neat Derby Hat and godlike Whiskers. When He came he would enfold Her in his Arms and whisper Emerson's Essays to her. Bnt the Party tailed to show up. Otten enough she put on her Chip Hat and her Black Lisle Gloves and Sauntered down to look at the Bunch sitting In front of the Occidental Hotel, hoping that the Real Thing would be there. But she always saw the same old Line of I'our- Flush Drummers from Chicago and St. Louis, smoking Horrid Cigars and talking about the Percentages of the League Teams. That i« the kind of a Girl she was. In her own town ahe had the Name of being a Cold Prcrpoaiton, bnt that was because the Primitive Yokels of a One- Night Stand could not Attune Themselves to the vlewa'ofone who was troubled with Ideals. Her Soul Ptinted for the Higher Life. Alas, the Rueb Town in which she Hung Forth was given over to Croquet, Mush and Milk Sociables, a lodge of Elks and two married Preachers, who doctored for the Tonsilitis. So what could the Poor Girl do? "I.I fa ia Baal; Lite la Ha meat And I ha Grave la not lla Uoal." Once upon a time there was a slim Girl with a Forehead which was Shiner «d Protuberant, like a Bartlett Pear.

A press dispatch from Chicago, under date of July 16, says: "Upon the question whether his victim was a brute or human, depeads Archie H. Brower's guilt or innocence of the crime of murder. Brower was one of the owners of a small tent show which cime here for exhibition. Among their attractions was a creature of seemingly higher form of animal lifethau a tmnkey and lower than a man. Brower and Thorndvke called the animal the "Missing Link" and laid great stress on the alleged fact that no one was able to say whether it belonged to the human or the brute creation. Brower now avers thaf. the freak was a monkey. In a scuffle with It the showman became angry, and slezing a heavy club, dealt his antagonist a Hard blow over the e ir, from the effects of which It died in a few hours. The local authorities immediately placed Brower under arrest on a charge of murder. At the preliminary hearing Ills lawyers set up the defence that their client did not take the life of a human being, but the magistrate bound him over to the grand jury."

EBERHART, <««■ • e-LM Ji ijhmSSS OUR MOTTO:—Same price same day to everybody. Physically as well as mentally, the Greek women of to day exhibit the characteristic traits of their Hellenic ancestors, and types of almost classical purity are constantly to be met with not only in free Hellas, but also in all parts of the Ottoman Empire. In certain localities, and more particularly in Macedonia, the Greek type has no doubt much deteriorated from admixture with Slav and other foreign elements. It has, however, remained almost perfect in many of the Islands, and some of the finest specimens of the race are to be found in Asia Minor, not on the seaboard alone, but in many towns and villages of the interior where, at the beginning of the century, the Greeks had become so denationalized as to have lost the use of their mother tongne —Good Words. "In the name of God, amen! I, Timothy Doolan, of Ballydownderry, farmer, being sick and wake on my legs, but of a sound head and warm heart, do make this my last will and onld and new testament. 1'irst, I give my sowl to God, when it plases him to take it—shure, no thanks to me: I cant help it—and my body to be buried in the ground at 1! dlydownderry chapel, where all my kith and kin that have gone before me, a«»d those that live after belonging to me are buried. Pace to their sslies and may the sod rist quietly over their bones. Bury me near my godfather and my mother, who lie separated altogather at the other aide of the chapel yard. I lave the bit of ground containing tin acres—rare ould Irish acres—to my eldest son Tim, after the death of his mother, if she lives to survive him. My daughter, Mary, and her husband, Paddy O'Regan, are to get the white sow. Teddy, my second boy, that was killed in the war in Ametiky, might have got the pick of the poultry, but, as he is gone, I lave them to his wife, who died a week before him. I bequeath to sll mankind the fresh air of heaven, all the fishes of the sea they can take, and all the birds of the air they can shoot. I lave to them all the snn and moon and star*.

Mr. Kipling, while on a visit to Mr. Hardy, went to see a house which the author of "Life's Little Ironies" thought would >ult him. When Mr. Kipling moved out of earshot Mr. Hardy observed to the occupant: "I may mention to you that this gentleman is no other than Mr. Rudyard Kipling." "Is that so?" she replied; "I never heard the name before." Presently Mr. Kipling, in turn, found himself alone with the lady and remarked: "Possibly you may not be aware that the gentleman who brought me here to-day is Mr. Haidy, the eminent author." "Oh, indeed," was her reply; "I don't know his name."—London Chronicle. HX T Mens' and Boys' • J • JjUHiIj, furnisher, 9 PUNX8UTAWNEY, PA. and patent leather, former price 5.00, aow $2.00 .

The young men talk of choosing a vocation in life aa if they had to decide between a chance to become a famous writer, lawyer, preacher or railroad president. As a matter of fact, they have to hustle to get the humblest job, must take what they can get and work hard to keep it. No man "chooses" anything—not even his wife, and after he is married he can't choose what he wants to eat—Atchison Globe. "' He threw a rotten egg at me!' shouted the younger of the two as he struggled to get at the other boy again. "This was undoubtedly a fact, as the boy's clothing was a strong testimonial to the point in evidence. "'Tut, tut,' said I, 'you should hsve returned good for evil.' " ' I dia,' he sobbed, the reaction having set in. ' The one that I threw at him was a good one !' "—Detroit Free Press. "I came upon a couple of boys fighting on the street the other day," said the portly man, as he laughed at the recollection. "They were both smeared over with eggs, and were fighting like a couple of young wildcats. "As a usual thing I do not believe in interfering with quarrels among children, believing that it is better to let them fight it out and settle their differences in their own way. "But they were fighting so fiercely and were using such bad language that I thought it best to separate them. "Getting hold of their collars, I pulled them apart and demanded an explanation.The Potato Loom. The Young Peoples' Baptist Union, of America, recently in session at Richmond, have memorialized Congress on the subject of onsting Brigham H. Roberts, of Utah, an avowed polygamist, who has foor wives. It does look inconsistent for Congress to legislate against polygamy in Utah, and then admit one of its apostles to that body. And there is a good deal in appearances. The pessimistic philosopher, Schopenhauer, declares that all men are polvgaml&ts at heart, but he is an old crank.' It was this same Schopenhauer who said: "The Jews are said to be God's chosen people. They are not mine." DO YOU WANT TO BUY A HOME, °\ FARM. A new insect has made its appearance in some sections of the State, and for want of a better name it has been christened the "potato louse." It is a worse pest than the potato bug, for the bngs can be shaken off the potato stalks, but not so the lonse. Paris green will kill the bng but does not appear to have any effect on the louse. The farmers hsve tried many ways to get rid of the insect, but so »r have not succeeded. The lonse is very small, so small as to be hardly visible to the naked eye, and they cover the potato leaves so that scarcely any of the leaf can be seen. They eat the leaf, and in a few days it will wither. It does not take long for the insect to destroy acres of potatoes.—Exchange. Prices are the Lowest. Call in and aee samples and prioes.

On Sunday, July 9, the Philadelphia Times printed a large and life-like portrait of Arthur Burnap, accompanied by the statement that he wonld be sent out the next day, just as he was there portrayed, to walk the streets of the city and frequent its most popular resorts, and the first one who recognized him was to receive $50. The program was carried ont to the letter. The young man made no attempt whatever to conceal himself, and was extensively advertised. He heard people talking about him, and felt nervous, bat not until Friday night, by the light of a match, was he recognized. This Is conclusive proof of the theory that a man who Is wanted by the police may hide himself more effectually In a large city than almost anywhere else. Bai gains. Lindsey, Pa. R. E.

As soon as possibly after having been "kissed" by a kissing bug, place a large piece of ham fat upon the spot and let it remain there for some time.
