The Confederate Veteran, the olfl
elal organ of the 0. S. A. Veterans,
recently Invited (Jen. W. I.. Cabell,
lieutenant general commanding the
Transmlsdsstppl Department, to pre
pare a history of the battle fljg of
the Confederacy. Hit report follows:
"When the Confederate army, com
manded by Oen. Beauregard, and the
Federal army confronted each other
At Manassas, It was seen that the
Confederate flag and the Sure and
Stripes locked at a distance ao much
alike that It was hard to distinguish
one from the other, (ien. Heauregird,
thinking that serious mistakes might
be made la recognizing our troops,
after the battle of the nth of July at
Blackburn Ford, ordered that a small
red badge should be worn on the left
shoulder by our troops, and, ax I wan
chief quartermaster, ordered rue to
purchase a large amount of red Man
Bel and distribute It to each regiment.
I distributed the red flannel to a nu;a
ber of regiments, who placed badges
on the left shoulders of the men.
During the battle of Bull Hun it was
plilnly to be seen that great number
ef Federal soldiers wore a similar red
bade. I saw these budge on a num
ber of prisoners we raptured th.-H ii iy.
"(iens. Beauregard and .lo.nnuon
met at Fairfax I'ourt limine In the
latter part of August or early In Si p. I
tember, and determined t'i have a bat
tle flag for every regiment or detain
ed command that could e.isily be rec
ognized and easily carried. 1 was
telegraphed to come lit once to Fair
fax Court House. 1 found both liens.
Beauregard and Johnston in lien.
Beauregard's offlVe discussing the
kind of flag that should be adopted.
Jen. Johnston's flag was in the hape
of an ellipse, a red Hag, with blue St.
Andrew's cross and stars on tiic
cross iwhite) to represent the differ
ent Southern State. io white bor
der of any kind was attached to this
cross.) (Jen. Beauregard's was a rec
tangle, red wirh blue St. Andrew's
eross and white stars similar to Oen.
Johnston's.
"After we had fully discussed the
two styles, taking into consideration
the cost of the material anil the care
i making the tame, It was decided
tat the elliptical flag would be hard
tr to make, that it would take more
oloth, and that it could not be seen so
plainly at a distance; that the rectan
gular flag, drawn by and suggested
by Gen. Beauregard, should be adopt
ed. (Jen. Johnston yielded at once
when the reasons given by (Jen.
Beauregard and myself were so good
and substantial. No one knew aliout
this flag but we three until an order
was Issued adopting the Beauregard
Sag, as it was called, and directing
me, as chief quartermaster, to have
the flags made as soon as it could be
done.
"I Immediately Issued an address to
the good ladles of the South to give
aa their red and blue silk dresses,
aad to send them to Capt. Collin Mc
Bae Kelph, quartermaster at Hlcu
mond, Va. (Capt. Selph la now living
in New Orleans, where be was as
sisted by two elegant young ladies,
the Misses Careys from Baltimore,
and Mrs. Gen. Hennlngsen of Savan
nah. The Misses Careys made battle
flags for Gens. Beauregard and Van
Dorn, and I think for (Jen J. E. John
ston, and they made (Jen Beauregard's
ut of their own silk dresses.
"This flag is now In Memorial Hall,
New Orleans, La., with a statement
of that fact from Gen. Beauregard.
Oen. Van Dorn's flag was made of a
heavier material, but very pretty.
Capt. Selph had a number of these
Jags made, and sent them to me at
Manassas. They were distributed by
erder of Oen. Beauregard. One flag
I had made, and gave it to the Wash
ington Artillery. They have It yet.
My wife, who was In Richmond, made
a beautiful flag out of her own dresses
(Uk), and sent It to a cousin of hers.
Who commanded an Arkansas regl
snsBt. This flag was lost at Klk Horn,
but was recaptured by a Missouri dl vi
sion under Oen. Henry Little. It be
ing impossible to get silk enough to
snake the great number of flags need
ad, I had a number made out of blue
and red cotton cloth. I then Issued
a circular letter te the quartermasters
f err regiment and brigade In the
army to make lags and to use any
blue and rod cloth suitable that they
eould get. Oens. Beauregard and
Johnston, being both good draughts
men, drew their own design. The
statement going the rounds that this
battlo flag was first designed by a
federal prisoner Is false; not oae word
of truth In It. No living soul except
Oens. Beauregard and Johnston and
myself keow anything about this flag
until the order was issued direct to
mo co have them made as aeon as It
oould be demo."

Misplaced Visiting Card Causes Un
loosed for Trouble.
When the strange woman had call
ed on the young couple in the neigh
borhood she left a card bearing beside
her name, the word "Thursday," but
the young couple have a way of luis
placing valuable trifles of this sort,
and they promptly lost the card. They
also have things to think of other
than the days of the week, and they
forgot all about the mystic word on
the card.
When they were ready to return the
call they found they had a free even
ing on Wednesday, and so they went
then.
The husband rang the bell at the
house, and after some time .during
which they had space to observe that
the ball was uncommonly dark, the
door was opened for them by the lady
herself.
"Why, It Is Mr. and Mrs. Blank, Isn't
It?" she said, peering Into the vesti
bule. 'I am somewhat surprised to
see you. I rather thought you would
come some Thursday evening. Come
in, and will you eicuse me wSTle 1
go upstairs and change this negligee
gown for something more convention
al? If It had been Thursday, you
would have found me clothed and In
my right mind, but I never expect
any one on Wednesday, so when ahe
bade goodby to Mrs. Blank, she said.
"Come to see me some Thursday,
wont you?"
lint Mrs. Blank's patience had come
to an end. "No," she said with great
distinctness. "I regret very much
that I Bhall not be able to call on one
of your reception days. I have en
gagements for every Thursday there
Is or ever will be good night," and
then she went down the steps, leaving
the almost hysterical Mr. Blank to
Bhift for himself. Baltimore News.

"I reckon, my friends," began a
somewhat moss-grown, but eminently
astute, candidate for the Arkansas
Legislature, addressing an outpouring
of the tolling masses of Ixzard county,
"that everything that was worth say
in' and considerable more, too about
the tariff and silver and the lnlcker
tous trust, and all such as that, was
said before I broke Into the political
areny, so I'll Just remark that If I'm
elected I'll be too busy attendtn' to my
duties to do more than come back
here after a spell and make you all a
short speech of thanks; but It I ain't
elected I'll have plenty of time to
make you two long speeches, and
mebby more, and kiss all the babies,
and otherwise prepare the way for be
In' elected the next time. That's all
I've got to say at present, except that
I am In your hands from this time
forth, and the keg Is over yonder in
Plunk Sagg's barn, right now. A
word to the wlae is, or ort to be suf
ficient. It is almost redundant to add that
this broad-minded patriot was at elec

"Gladys," said Mrs. Beenthere, with
a pained expression, "I'm shocked."
"Why, what about, mother?" Inno
cently Inquired her fair young daugh

well what about. When you started
out sleighing I told you distinctly not 1
to let that vnuni man kiss vou. Dut i
his arm around you or even bold your
hands. ' And he baa done all these
things. Oh. Gladys! Gladys!" '
A blush burned Gladys' cheeks, but
what could the poor girl do?
"Mother," she bravely said, "tell me
how you know these things."
"Certainly," said Mrs. Beenthere,
maternal grief giving way to the logi
cian's pride. "First, there Is no pow

Their Condition Compared
With Former Years.
THEIR CHARACTERISTICS
Unique Tribal Customs Which Still
Survive Their Curious Religious
Ceremonials and Superstitions
Appearance ef Eskimo Houses in
Greenland and Siberia.
The Ksklmos are the most norther
ly of the inhabitants of America.
These remarkable people are notable
for their vast linear extent and nar
row range, extending as they do along
the Arctic coast line from Greenland
to Siberia. Throughout this extended
line there is to be observed a close
similarity in physique, language, cus
toms, beliefs, and industries, which
differentiate them strklagly from
neighboring peoples. Developed by an
environment of especial severity, they
illustrate In their dwellings, clothing.
Implements, and utensils, a peculiar
adaptation to local renditions, which
has been enforced in their utruggle
for existence.
The houses of snow and Ire that
are to be found so generally among
the Keklmos of Greenland are rare In
Alaska, and are used only as tempor
ary shelters. The ordinary dwelling
house, such as Is seen in the vicinity
of St. Michael, U Rectangular In form
and built of a framework of logs,
eight to ten feet high in the middle
and sloping to about rive feet at tho
side. This Is covered by boards or
slabs, upon which earth Is strewn to
the depth of three or four feet. To
this dwelling, whose floor is tho
ground, there are two entrances, one
for summer and one for winter use,
the latter being subterranean. A hole
In the roof allows of the exit of
smoke from the tire, which is built In
an excavation in the middle of the
floor. liaised platforms are erected
a foot or so above the ground fur
deeping places, and these occupy
three sides of the house interior.
In physical characteristics the same
general features pervade the entire
group. Generally speaking, the most
northerly are taller and of more vig
orous development than those living
further south; they are also more com
bative and treacherous In the Be
rlng Strait and lower Yukon region,
which may be taken as a general type,
the Eskimo men are five feet two or
three Inches in height, with rounded
features and somewhat pointed chins.
The faces are heavy, with massive
lower jaws, and flattened noses with
low nosebrldge, and at times retreat
ing foreheads.
Curiosities in personal adornment
are seen In the wearing of labrets,
and face tattooing; both of which are
in much less common use now than
formerly, and which are disappearing
with Increased intercourse wth the
whites.
Labrets are button or sickle-shaped
pieces of ivory or stone, which are
worn on the lower Up through holes
which have been pierced for their In
sertion. These holes are made just
below each corner of the mouth, and
enlarged by the Insertion of gradu
ated Ivory plugs, until large enough
to receive the labret. Tattooing,
which Is universal among the women,
is said to be of comparatively recent
origin. The pattern most commonly
seen Is that of radiating lines to the
chin from the corners of the mouth.
The Eskimos of the western Alaska
coast frequent St. Michael for trading
purposes, and the company stores
there are filled with skins, pelts, and
garments made from them. There
is characteristic work in basket
making, carving and etching, kayaks
and bldarkas In miniature and fully
equipped, and curious ornaments and.
trinkets In walrus ivory. Imitative
power is shown in their work, but
there is little Ingenuity displayed. In
every Eskimo Tillage there Is a cen
tral structure of considerable size
called the Kashira (accent on last
syllable), which Is used as a general
meeting place for the men. Boys of
fourteen and the unmarried men sleep
there, their food being brought to
them there by the women of their
families. Women are not permitted
to enter the Kashlm save on certain
festal and ceremonial occasions. On
the other hand, the family home Is
the peculiar domain of the women,
and men and boys not of the family
concerned are not allowed to enter
these. The Eskimos have no wtrtten
or printed language, the mystical and
supernatural tales which are numer
ous in their folklore, aad upon which
their conceptions and beliefs are form
ed, being handed down from father to
son, and learned through constant re
petition. These are recited by the
eldera to the young men In the Ka
shlm, and are subsequently rehearsed
by them until fully learned. ,.

"HAMLET WITH VARIATIONS.
A Limerick Performance with Unique
Features.
The following is a literal copy of
a play bill used at the Kilkenny The
atre Royal, Ireland, over 100 years
ago: "on Saturday, May 14, 1733, will
be performed, by command of sev
eral rcspci table people In this learned
metropolis, for the benefit of Mr.

Panama's Only Asset.
The greater part of the Isthmus Is
valueless, a land usually goes. There
may be more unhealthy places In the
African or Indian Jungles, but they are
not numerous. The only asset of I'una
uian Is its njiowness. If it were but
half as wide It would be worth twice
as much. Its value depends on the
fact that it is the weakest spot In the
great continental barrier separating
the two great oceans of the world.
The cutting of a canal through It
would, according to Mr. Lewis N.
Haupt, of the canal commission, re
sult in u saving of I'.hm.ooo.oihi a
year to the mercantile fleets of the
world.
The Colombians, perceiving this
have thought they held the key to an
inexhaustible source of revenue. They
received Sl.OoO.000 for the Panama
Railway concession, and since its con
struction have had a regular annual
subsidy of 2-0X)0 more. Heavy sub
sidies from the canal company were
also exacted. For the past fifty years
Panama has simply been rented out
for transit purposes.
The Inhabitants of the Isthmus, be
ing bound to Colombia only by the ac
cidental arrangement of boundary
lines, and feeling that they were fur
nishing an undue share of the Colom
bian government's income and getting
nothing in return, have repeatedly
tried to break away from It and se
cure their independence. They have
tried again, and apparently succeeded.
There is no mysterious underhand
scheme required to explain the revo
lution, and It Is not at all remarkable
that the foreign residents should fav
or any change from the conditions of
the past few years under Colombian
rule.
An Extraordinary Intoxicant.
During the Boer war British sol
diers In Africa discovered a new and
extraordinary form of intoxication.
The ingenious privates found that
they could get all the excitement of
a powerful narcotic by eating a cor
dite charge 'of cartridges, each of
which contains sixty strands of cor
dite and la very similar in apearance
to vermiceUl. The British Medical
Journal gives particulars of this form
of Intoxication. It aays that Major
Jennings of the British army, on
learning that the men hsd been eat
ing cordite, made experiment him
self. On sucking a strand, he found
It sweet, pleasant, and pungent, but it
resulted In a headache which lasted
for thlrty-slx hours. Dissolved in tea
it produces almost immediate exhilar
ation, "inciting almost demoniacal ac
tions," followed by a heavy sleep and
stupor of from five to twelve hours,
according to the quantity taken. Add
ed to beer it produces the worst ef
fects, exciting a quarrelsome and de
structive mania and producing the
most rapid Intoxication,
A Washita Turtle.
A fisherman living near Ravla, I.
T., caught a monster turtle In the
Washita last week. The reptile
weighed seventy pounds and was three
and one-half feet long from snout to
end of tail. Its shell was two feet by
eighteen Inches. It easily walked
alone with a full grown man standing
on its shell. Its head was very large
and its jaws possessed of tremendous
power. It was of the loggerhead or
hard shell variety and so old that lit
tle horns had grown out from 1U
shell and about over Its skin. Kan

A grain of und in llie eye can caiue es
cruciatiDR agony, a gruin of pepper in place
of the grain of sand intensifies the torment.
Tho pain is not confined to the organs affect
ed. The whole body feels the shock of that
little irritating particle. It is so when there
is any derangrme' t or disorder of the deli
cate womanly organs. The disorder may
seem trivial but the whole body feels it. The
nervous system is disordered. There are
fretfulneis, irritability, sullenness and de
pression of spirits. The general health of
woman depends on the local health of the
organs peculiarly feminine. Remove the
drains, ulcerations, bearing down pains, and
other afflictions of woman, and the whole
body feels the benefit. Dr Pierce's Favorite
Piescnption is a secific for the diseases that
undermine the strength of women. It is free
from opium, cocaine and other narcotics,
poisons which enter into many other prepara
tions for woman's use. It makes weak
women strong and sick women well.
