A Well Paid, Fiery Job That Wears a
Man Out In Fifteen Yeari.

a story tlint Is common all over Amer

peasant luil In a dull little village In
Ireland. Drunn up and along by the
einlgrunt tide, be bad drifted to Chi

caught the true spirit of tbe place,
which Is to strain every nerve and

hours. Watching those three mam

Just wheu to wrench back a lever.
This he did over a hundred times In
the night, and if he missed by so much
as thirty seconds he spoiled thousands
of dollars' worth of steel. He never
missed.
To bold this Job Is to Jiitn the
strength of a lifetime Into fifteen
years at $'J0 a week. The man recog
nized this as a mutter of course,' only
qualifying It by the remark that be
knew of a redheaded Scotchman at
Homestead who bad held It seventeen
years before breaking. That bis Whole
life had bwu changed; that tbe little
Irish village, the misty bog and the
bovels were back hi another age, on
another planet all this be felt vague

It Is entirely appropriate, of.furse,
that red, tbe war color, should' -ijipear
so frequently In tbe flags of tue vari

is only one that pf Greece which
does not show the murtlul color. In
the western hemisphere, however, we
And several stauilurds not showing

publlc, Brazil, Nicaragua, Guatemala
Uruguay and Honduras contain no
red.
In this country there Is no red In
the union Jack or In the flags of the
secretary of the navy, the admiral of
the navy, the rear admiral senior in
rank and the rear admiral Junior In
rank. Ited appears In the pennnnt of
the rear admiral second In rank aud
the pennant of the revenue marine.
Tbe United States mall flag also shows
red, and that color is also found in
tbe pennants for the vessels of the
lighthouse sen-Ice, the yacht ensign,
the ensign of tbe revenue marine, tbe
president's and the seeretnry of war's
standards.
The flags that are almost entirely
red. except for tbe devices shown
thereon, are those of Austria-Hungary,
Egypt, Morocco and Japan. Tbe flag
of Turkey Is practically of a solid red.

Something Wrong.
The balloou pilot landed In tbe little
backwoods village and told tbe loiter
ers the thrilling story of bis escape.
"Aud at one time." he related, with
dramatic force, "1 was In a storm and
sweeping over a vast desert. There
was nothing to do but throw out sand
and prepare for tbe worst. Gentlemen,
at one time I felt as if I had lost my
bead and gone plumb crazy."
Tbe oldest inhabitant slowly lighted
bis pipe and drawled, with a sarcastlo
smile: ,

' What Intermittency Means.
Intermlttency Is that form of i'Jifgu
larlty in which tbe pulse appears to
drop a best occasionally. In some in
stances it occurs regularly and two or
three times per minute for several
hours. Sometimes also it ' is very ir
regular and Is noted a number of
times within a few seconds and not
again for a minute or more. This pe
culiarity generally causes much un
easiness. Yet, while It may be a very
serious symptom and associated wltb
grave and incurable disease of the
heart. It often signifies merely a func
tional disturbance whlcb Is In nowise
dangerous.

FACE PATCHES.

Time In England.
i'laster patches were Introduced in
England In the reign ot Kdward VI.
by a foreign lady who In this manner

were carried to such exaggerated
lengths that they -urn- liuiilly lam
pooned out ot sight The men, as well
as the women, sluck themselves over
with these beauty spots. No lady of
fashion coiihidered her toilet complete
untll she was equipped with her little
box of patches cut in her favorite de
sign. If one happened In come off in
company she hurriedly replaced It
with a fresh one-from t be box.
At length patching in England went
so far that party spirit was symbo
lized by the position of the patches.
A letter In theipaper on June 2. 1711.
tells of u visit to the II ay market and
the discovery by Jhe writer of three
classes of women In the boxes nil dlf

discovered that those who patched on
the right side of the forehead were
Whigs and thosi who favored the left
were Tories, while those who patched

A Bird's White Feathers.
Tbe occurrence of white feathers In
a bird's plumage Is very common. It
Is, of course, due to lack ot coloring
matter and Is liable to appear in both
young and old birds. 1 have known of
several old birds to exhibit this pe
culiarity (mostly In tbe wing feathers,
however), and it may be due to imper
fect nutrition and circulation as tbe
bird ages. I have also noticed It in
young birds In a number of instances.
The phenomenon thus cannot be said
to occur simply as a result of old age,
but Is rather one of those slight
changes in the bird's system the
causes of whlcb we do not know.
There is tills much more to be said,
however when a young bird starts
out with a few white feathers they
are usually retained throughout life,
molting each time in a similar man
ner. Old birds may exhibit this loss
of coloring at any time. St Nicholas.
Patrick Henry's Fee.
It is said of Patrick Henry that dur
ing his practice of law In the Virginia
courts and wben be was familiarly ad
dressed as "governor" a man wbo bad
been arrested for stealing a bog and
wbo was out on ball went to tbe gov
ernor to have blm defend him.
The governor said, "Did you walk
away wltb that shoat?"
"1 don't like to say."
"Out with it"
"Yes, sir."
"Have you got the carcass?"
"Yes, sir."
"You go home, you wretch, cut the
pig lengthwise in half and hang as
much of it In my smokehouse as you
keep In yours."
At court tbe governor said, "Your
honor, this man has no more of that
stolen shoat than I have." .
