They Are Kept la an Attic and No One Is Allowed to Examine Them Some of i Them Could Tell Thrilling Stories If l-Thej Bad the Power ef Speech.
The flags taken from the southern troops'" uowj reposing 'in ca citic in the top of the war department, but came first to the care of the government in 1867, when they were deposited In the old war department on Seventeenth street They were then about 800 in number, 838 being recaptured Union standards. These flags were obtained from the commanding generals of the United States armies and were catalogued and identified whenever it was possible. 1 In 1874 a part of the flags were placed on exhibition in a museum in the Winder huilding, but in October, 1882, allot the flags were boxed up, and by the direction of the secretary of war they were stored in the basem*nt of the new war department. When it was found, in 1887; that the flags Were rapidly decaying, they were taken up into the attic, where they are at present. The fact that many of the colors originally deposited are not now in the care of the department is easily explained by the fact that flags have from time to time been returned! to their being sometimes made for them by governors of states or by organizations.
Nineteen standards have been returned to Union troops by orders of secretaries of 'war, among those returned being one sent back by Stanton. Prior to 1867, there were 81 Confederate flags returned, ten being taken from the war department by Stanton's directions and nine being taken out by instructions which came from him indirectly. But since 1887 there have been no flags, Union or allowed to pass out of the custody of the war department, Some years ago an effort was set on foot by an officer of the war department to return all jcolors to the regiments, north and south, by whom they were originally borne, but several individuals became discontented at the suggestion, and nothing ever came of the movement. As a consequence "they have been little spoken of since, and the department is unwilling to make any move in the matter. In fact, tho orders are that DO one shall be allowed to inspect the flagroom for the purpose of making any publication about its contents, this step bqing taken to prevent arousing any sectional ofeling in regard to the matter.
As a consequence no one is permitted to even examine; the flags for any such purpose, aid the secretary of war refuses permission to have the colors photographed. Of the; flags returned to the Union regiments which carried them there are over 20i Pennsylvania having received five for her troops, Massachusetts getting three, Michigan two, New York 'three, Ohio two, New Jersey two, Illinois two and Vermont and Connecticut one each. Of the flags returned at different times by request to southern regiments there are 3, among them being the Union flag which Was taken at Newmarket Crossroads by the Pennsylvania troops, the Confederates' having used it to deceive the enemy. A great many flags were loaned out years ago by officers, and as they were never returned the department is unable to replace them. Of the flags taken from the southern troops and now in the attic of the war department there are about 250 whose history can be obtained, while the number of Union banners recaptnred and identified is 63.
The room in which they are kept is a narrow, light and dry one, and the colors are standing all about, resting against the; Walls, some of them furled, while others hang limp about the staff, all of them being torn, dusty, ragged and faded and often spotted with blood. i Other standards which have lost their staffs are rolled into bundles and packed away in holes in a cupboard whose doors are off the hinges, and the shabby little packages of dirty bunting remind one of a junkshop, 'only he realization of what they all mean comes to one so forcibly that it is hard to believe that men once fought like mad to possess the bit 0 colored rag now lying in a dusty heap. The blues and reds are too dim to be pretty, the paintings are cracked and torn, the stripes are coming apart, while the tiny bits of stringy bullion still gleam amid the tarnished heap of former glory. The wood used for the staffs is or various kinds, while others are pieces of broken sticks and broken scantling bound together by strings and ropes. As no allowance has been given the department! with which to preserve the flags, they will ilikely remain in the attic of the department indefinitely.
If any move were made to return them to the south, it would awaken the old opposition from many northern Soldiers who fought so bravely to capture these very colors. And if it were intended to place them on exhibition in some public museum, most of the southern soldiers would object to their flags being placed on view as trophies of the conquered. So the management of the matter is an exceedingly delicate one one which the pres ent administration of the department thinks can best be arranged by letting the flags rest a place where they will not be open to jthe public, yet will be preserved from decay. Among the most interesting banners shown is that captured at Antietam from the Stonewall men. The colorsof the Nineteenth Mississippi, Mahone's division, General liongstreet's corps, is Janother" relio of value Others are the flags taken by the Union troops from the Ninth Virginia infantry at Gettysburg, this standard being in the thickest of the fight, where Pickett made his famous charge and Gen eral Armstead fell; the banner of the Seventh North Carolina regiment, which was displayed and captured in the same part of the field during the fight at Gettysburg; the flag of the Second Virginia infantry, known as Stonewall's Old Brigade, taken at Winchester by Massachusetts troops; the colors: of the famous regiment feared for its savage bravery, the Louisiana Ti gers; a flag taken at Malvern Hill on July 1, 1862, by Pennsylvania volunteers from a North Carolina regiment, the fighting being desperate that the Confeder ates piled nip around themselves the dead bodies of their fallen comrades and iirea from behind this human fort Washington: Cor.
Philadelphia Times. i 1 A Typical Hungarian Village. Imagine a very broad unpaved road, like a dusty, plowed field, and wild gardens trailing round and over white thatch-: ed cottages. Each cottage is one storied, with old tjrorld eaves and a veranda which runs along the whole front The thatched root seems to lean with all its strength upon a toy shaped colonnade, while the creepers: afford a contrast to the whitewashed wails. If you walk down the road at dusk, you will find at each door one of the house-bold vigorously brushing clouds of dust away from the footpath, while long files of clean, curly pigs are trotting swiftly homeward and lean mongrels ''bay tbe whispering wind" unceasingly.
The men wear linen shirts and kilts. On workdays the costume has the appearance of a long, dingy nightdress, tied with a ileatherj girdle. On heydays the kilt is white and stiff, with accordion plaiting, While the ishirt is of dainty embroidery and sets off an elaborate worsted waistcoat The girls? full dress Is still more picturesque, owing to the harmonious blending of the brightest prints all shades and depths' of blue and red and pink; no other colors and to the graceful fall of the short petticoats, which do not reach the ankle, and are Inflated by a slight suspicion of crinoline. Saturday Review. -i i An Animated Paper Knife.
'r A few years ago, when Lord Duff erin was viceroy of India, the rajah of Holkar paid the viceroy a visit While he was there be saw Lord Dufferin take up some Illustrated London papers which had just arrived by mail and cut them with an Ivory paper knife. It was the first time the TnfiinTi prince had seen such an instrument used. "Make me a present of that," said he to the viceroy, "and I will give you another. Lord Dufferin hastened to comply With this modest request, and the young rajah returned to his country. Not long after, he returned to Calcutta, bringing with him, a young elephant whose tusks had been carved in the most artistic manner in the shape of a paper knife.
This he brought as a present to the viceroy. A table bearing some illustrated papers was placed by a servant before this intelligent beast, who immediately seized them with his trunk, cut them most deftly with his tusks and then handed them to the viceroy.

Sale. BETRAYED HIMSELF. Tbe Merchant's Blnfl Indicated His Tne Standing to His Creditors. Tia true as the says a Malno lawyer, more crimes are discovered through the efforts mado to prevent discovery than in any other way. The mind of the wrongdoer is not satisfied with simply keeping still.
It is uneasy and overcautious and leads its owner pretty surely to do some act he woui not have- done if in-N nocemv In just the same way shrewd business men read the minds of their debtors. Let an apparently prosperous man become seriously involved, and very often he will try to screen his real situation by doing things that imply a solvent condition, all for the purpose of deceiving his creditors. quarter of a century ago I was practicing in a western Maine village, and among my intimate friends was a young merchant who had apparently been doing a very successful business for several years. His credit was as good as almost anybody's in the town. To my great surprise, one evening there came to me the principals of two large Portland firms, to whom my friend was indebted, and they requested an Immediate attachment of his stock of goods.
I protested that such a course was unjust and unnecessary. Then one of the merchants explained that a day or two previous he had received a letter from their debtor in which he casually mentioned some proposed action of his which would involve a considerable outlay of money. Ho didn't believe tho man really Intended any such outlay, and he asked himself, 4Why has he mentioned Conferring with his he found the young man had at the same time written-him an exactly similar letter. That was enough, and they decided to sue. Feeling almost sure they were wrong, I had the attachment made so secretly that none knew of it except those immediately concerned.
The. young merchant was immensely surprised, and at once got friends to become his security on tho Portland debts. But the developments of the next few months showed conclusively that the merchants had rightly read the meaning of the unusual letter, and that their debtor's affairs were at that time rotten to the core. Only their prompt action saved their claims, which, altogether, amounted to something more than $1,000. Lew is ton Journal Where Mathematics failed.
The story told by a New Haven correspondent of the New York Evening Post of the locating of a meteor by Professor H. A. Newton of Yale, from data obtained from a chance photograph of the meteor's flight, recalls to the Hartford Courant "another story recently related hereabout by a Yale graduate. This young man when a student occupied a room in Divinity hall One night he undertook with a toy rifle to hit one of the lights on the campus. His aim was poor, and the ball passed through the window of an eminent and venerable professor of science (not Professor Newton) and Imbedded itself in the wall This was the opportunity for the professor and for science.
He, too set to work and 'computed the curve, and with the exact skill of Infallible figures he traced the ball right back to the room of an innocent colleague, who didn't even know the rifle had been fired. "The unfledged minister flatly all knowledge of tho affair. But men, even ministers, have been known to make denials in self and tho professor had the proof with him. There was the bullet, there were the marks of its course, and there was the computation worked out. It looked as if a pulpit career was to be nipped In the bud.
But the guilty student heard what was going on. He called on the confessed the offense, pointed out that the man of science was 200 feet out in his computation and advised that the matter be dropped right where it was. And that was done. The Bolometer. Professor, Langley's remarkable Instrument known as the bolometer, occupying the entire building of the astrophyajeal observatory attached to the Smithsonian institution, is pronounced by Bene Bache the most delicate' mechanical contrivance ever devised, inasmuch as its "senses" are more acute than those of any human being.
Qutside of the building a huge machine, the inside works of which are a clockwork mechanism, pumps sunshine through a long tube Into a dark room, where the bright ray passes through a prism. The latter Is not of glass, because glass Is opaque to the invisible rays of the solar spectrum, but is of rock salt, carefully cut to a certain angle by the famous optician Brashear, and, though the prism looks almost opaque to the eye, it is as crystal to the invisible rays above the violet and below the red. Thus the operator is able to. follow tbe invisible rays along their dark, path, their presence and potency being accurately registered, having for its most essential part a balance composed of a thread of spun glass and a tiny mirror, the latter attached to a piece of a dragon fly's wing. -New York Sun.
