BOUGHT EIG SAFES. | The Way Jay Gotild Broaa*t at Mm pre urn Cotipnny to Terms. Recalling early days in the express business, an officer of one of flie largest companies told this story of .Tay Gould: "Gould and I'isk then had hold of the Erie," he said, "and the United States Express company had all the express business on the road. The con tract was about to expire, and Gould wanted an arrangement more profita ble to the Erie. " 'The Erie's doing all the worts and you're making all the money,' Gould said to the express people. You ought to do some of the work and give the railroad a chance at the money.' "The express company officials de murred. Their profit, they insisted, was no more than they were entitled to, and they refused to shade the con tract a penny. Gould Insisted on a de crease, but they remained obdurate and eventually let the Erie president ! understand—what he very well knew— that no other company would compete against the United States for the Erie business. All the companies at that time were in an agreement to maintain rates. " *AII rlglit,' said Gould at fhe contu sion of the interview, 'you've no objec tion, 1 guess, to my going into the ex press busiuess for myself. It looks better than railroading.' "The express people reined ftiat Gould could organize all the companies he wanted to. They thought it was all bluff, but things that came to their at tention soon weakened their faith in this idea. Gould was going around among his associates talking up an ex press company scheme, officials of otti er roads were told that a new company would be 111 the field to bid for their business, and the papers began to talk about tho new Gould express company. "The express officials, however, saw none of Gould's money going into the enterprise aud stood pat. Presently it was reported that he had bought twen ty-four big express safes. Was this talk or was it business? ttie express men asked themselves. They set to work Investigating, and they discover ed that the report was true. Gould had actually bought and paid for the safes —safes cost money In those days, too— | and he was negotiating for all the oth . or equipment required, i "Now, thoroughly convinced of i Gould's sincerity, the express company ' came to term.?. Gould got the best con | tract from n railroad standpoint that I had been known up to that time. The 1 clause in the contract that the United States Express company considered most valuable to Itself was one stipu lating the abandonment of Gould's ex* press plans. "It was all a bluff on Gould's part except buying the safes. For that mat ter the purchase was, of course, part of the bluff, but Gould had actually i bought and paid for them unconditlon ! al)y. Nevertheless he lost nothing on the deal, for as soon as friendly rela tions were established with the express officials he persuaded them they could use the safes in their business and sold tlieui at a little better than cost."— Washington Post.

STORE WINDOW LIGHTS. lffulaflom For Their Coatrol ■■ Applied In Berlin. The regulation of artificial lighting in connection with window displays is a subject which has been given com paratively little attention by the mu nicipalities of this country, considering the extent to which it is used for this purpose In these days. That this phase of the lighting question demands closer scrutiny there can be no doubt, and It might be well for information on the matter to look to those cities which have given it study. Stringent regulations have been adopted in Ber lin and other European cities, where merchants were inclined to take ad vantage of laxity in the premises. In Berlin lamps outside shop windows must not be lower than ten feet above the pavement or project more than forty Inches from the wall. Where the lighting in the windows Is done by oil, petroleum, gas flame or Welsbachs there must always be a sheet of glass not less than one-tenth of an Inch thick under the lamps and running the whole length and breadth of the shop windows, so as to completely cover the articles In the window, and noth ing Is to he put above the lamps. The lamps must be at least forty InctiM below any Inflammable part of the construction and ten Inches from any sucli part horizontally. There are also regulations aa to iron screens where there Is bare wood and as to efficient ventilation. Bare flames are not allowed lu Igniting the gas. This must be done by chemical or elec trical klndiers or by electric distance spark kindling arrangements especial ly sanctioned by the authorities. Tlie regulations for Incandescent electric lamps are about equally strict.—Mu nicipal Journal and Engineer. Onr nilliona of Aneratora.

THE FLAG IN HISTORY ORIGIN OF NATIONAL EMBLEMS OF THE OLD WORLD. Jonti of Arc nnd the White Banner of France—The Tricolor of Holland. St. Außuntliir, the Ml*fcloitnr>, In troduced Flute Into L2iiKland. The first western sovereign to adopt n flag was Clovls, king of the Franks. After his conversion to Christianity In the fifth century he took the "chape do St. Martin" as Ills standard. This, according to some writers, was actu ally part of the cloak which the saintly bishop of Tours cut In two in order to share it with a beggar at Amiens. More credible authorities, however, assert that It was tlio blue flag of St. Mar tin's abbey. After Clovts, flic Merovingian kings seem to have returned to the ancient emblems. They were content to light under eagles, flowers, crosses or the images of saints until the time of Char lemagne, who, If an old mosaic In the Church of St. John Lateran at Rome Is to be believed, reintroduced the blue flag embellished with six red roses. The color of the French flag was changed in 1124, when Louis the Fat carried the red orlflatnb of St. Denis in his struggles against the German emperor Henry V. This continued to be the official French flag down to the battle of Agincourt in 1415. In the meantime the blue flag had again made Its appearance, now decorated with the fleur-de-lis instead of the roses of Charlemagne. In this form it was car lied at Acre and Creey and Poitiers, until In the fifteenth century It be came the banner of France. The first white flag in FrenoU histo ry was tlie banner of the Virgin Mary borne by Joan of Are in her heroic campaigns for the defense of the dau phin. A pure white flag was occasion ally used by Francis I. In his struggles against the Emperor Charles V., but it did not become the permanent royal banner until Henry IV., the first Bour bon, ascended the throne in 1589. The tricolor of the French revolution was a compromise. The cockades of the revolutionists were composed of two colors, the red of the Paris com mune and the blue of tlie ancient mon archy. In the troubled times just pre ceding the deposition and execution of Louis XVI., Lafayette, to signify the desire of the people for a reconcilia tion with their king, added the Bour bon white to the cockade. The tricolor as a national emblem was adopted by the convention in 1794. Long before this, however, the tri color had been the national Hag of Holland. Tke Dutch were In fact the first to use it. When the United Prov inces gained their independence from Spain in the sixteenth century, accord ing to a favorite old story which can not be authenticated, they Invited Hen ry of Navarre to choose their colors, and he suggested orange, blue and white. Whether he selected this com bination or not, such were the colors of Holland until some time in the sev* enleenth century, when the orange was replaced by red. When William of Orange became king of England In iCOS he crossed the channel under the red, white and blu The early inhabitants of England, like those of other countries, used em blematic devices of one kind or an other, that of the Saxons being a white horse. The introduction of flags Into England is ascribed to the missionary St. Augustine and his followers, who after the conversion of King Ethelbert, according to the Venerable Bede, en tered Canterbury in procession, chant ing and bearing small banners. Since tlie fourteenth century the cross of St. George has been the emblem of the British nation. Before that time it was worn on the armor by the eru taders, among whom it came to be known as the "jack." During the bloody civil wars of the fifteenth cen tury it was practically superseded by the roses, white and red, and In IGOQ by proclamation of James I.it was finally replaced by a red flag with the jack in tlie upper inside corner. The red standard of Great Britain did not attain its present form, however, until after the union with Ireland in 1801. By parliamentary enactment in 1801 the present union jack was brought Into being by the addition of the cross of St. Patrick. Waving flags are said to have been first brought to Spain by the Saracens. The present Spanish colors, red and yellow, came from the old shields of Castile and Aragon. The Austrian black and yellow were the colors of the Holy Ilomau Empire. They were adopted, so the story goes, by Frederick Barbarossa, whose fancy was captured at a ceremony in Mainz by the black and gold flooring of the hall. The crescent was originally the spe cial mark of Constantinople, where for centuries it was used as a Christian symbol. There It was that the Turks first found it when they captured the city In 1453. Even today it may be found side by side with the cross on the churches In Moscow and other Russian cities, where it is used to Indi cate the Byzantine origin of the Rus sian faith.—New York Tribune.
