There is a great deal of newspaper and oratorical talk now going on relativo to an offensive and defensive alliance with England. Some of this talk is only tontative while a great deal of it is undoubtedly sincere, but prompt ed by many different and even contra dictory motives. Before an alliance can be formed or should be formed, the tho terms should be thoroughly dis cussed and understood. The most ardont advocates of alliance and union have not yet formulated the terms upon which a treaty may be made. It is about time that Americans began to put some of their ideas into shape as to the conditions of this union. Here are a few suggestions from an American standpoint that England ought to con sider: First—Great Britain will formally acknowladgu the Monroe doctrine to possess for her all the binding force of international law. Second—Ai this Spanish-American war was begun for the purpose of giving independence to a struggling people and this war has tended to bring about an Anglo-Amorleari alliance, the political independence of Cuba shall be asserted and maintained by each and both of the high contracting powers. England also to grant the same independence to Ire land that had suffered more and for a longer period from England oppression, and both parties to this compact convenant and agree to warrant and dofend the independence of the Irish nation against all parties whatsoever. Third—ln order to relieve England of the necessity and danger of protecting her Canadian Pacific coast England cedes to the United States all tho terri tory west of the Rocky mountains t tho Pacilic coast line. England to have and possess a coaling station on Van Couver's island with free ingress, egress and regress should she think such a concession necessary. Fourth—England to acknowledge that the Clayton-liulwer treaty of 1850 has been in duo form abrogated and to agree that the Nicaraguan or any othor isth mian canal shall be built and controlled by tho United States alone. She shall also ahdlcato all authority over the Ralize and any other Central American country over which she exercises or claims suzeranity, in accordance with the first article of this protocol. Fifth—Sho will withdraw Canada's piratical sealers from Alaskan waters and agree to a fair and reasonable treaty which will protect our seal herd from extinction. She will he allowed to go further In her generosity and signify her consent to tho Russian and Amorican contention that the. Bering sea shall be considered a mare clusam, or closed sea. Sixth—As a token of her sincerity and desire for perfectly amicable relations she will give up all the islands lying on our southeastern coast, Including the Bermudas, the Hahauias, her possessions In the Windward islands, Jamaica, and In fact all the islands fringing the Carib bean sea and Spanish main. As a quid pro quo she shall receive the Philippines, excepting and reserving Manila harbor and the fortifications necessary to pro tect and defend the same. Seventh—Tho restrictive laws har assing our fishermen on tho Newfound land hanks and other places shall be repealed and our fishermen granted more liberal rights. Eighth—The prohibition against America maintaining a fleet on Lakes Erie and Ontario shall bo removed and our ships allowed free passage through the Welland canal. Ninth—The people of Canada to be allowed the privilege of a plebisite every fifty years, the first being in the year 1000, to ascertain whether they desire annexation to the United States under our invitation of 1770. At any time the decision is in favor of annexation such decision to be final and irrevocable. These are some of the conditions upon which we will consider an alliance defensive and offensive. Rut there are others. _ Dr. David Kennedys favorite Remedy CURES AIL KIDNEY, STOMACH R ~ .. AND LIVER TROUBLES. A CHRISTIAN FLAG. A SYMBOLIC EMBLEM UNDER WHICH RELIGIOUS HOSTS MARCH. It Originator Wan Struck With the Need of Souie Standard Which Would Denlj;. nate a Marching; Christian llody of What ever Nation or Creed. Now we have the Christian flag—that is, a flag designed to be the common standard of Christians the world over, Irrespective of nationality or creed. Charles C. Overton, superintendent of the Sunday school of Brighton Chapel, Coney Island, is responsible for the in novation, and he Is deeply interested In spreading the movement. So greatly interested is he that he has had a large quantity of little but tons made similar to those so fre quently seen during political cam paigns, each containing on Its surface a miniature reproduction of the flag. The Christian Flag Extension Society has also been organized, for the pur pose of giving the mutter wide public ity. C. C. OVERTON AND HIS PLAO. The flag, a number of which have al ready been made, is symbolic. The ground is white, representing peace, purity and innocence. In one of the upper corners is a square of blue, the color of the unclouded sky, a symbol of faith and trust. In the centre of the blue Is a cross, the chosen symbol of Christianity, the color being red, typ ical of Christ's blood. A hymn called "The Christian Flag," has been dedicated to the movement, the words of which were written by Fanny J. Crosby, with music composed by R. Huntington Woodman. One verse is as follows; The Christian flag! God bless it! Now throw It to the breeze, And may it wave triumphant O'er land and distant seas, Till all the wide creation V?\' r ! Upon Its fold shall gaze, ' And all the world united Our loving Saviour praise. Copies of the hymn have been sent to band masters all over the country, with the request that the music be ar ranged as a march and played upon ap propriate occasions. The request has met with many favorable replies. A circular descriptive of the move ment has also been sent to superin tendents of Sunday schools, with a view of securing widespread co-opera tion. The owners of several large ex cursion steamers have ordered the Christian flag for their vessels, to be flaunted to the breeze when carrying Sunday school excursions. The Idea of a Christian flag occurred to Mr. Overton on last Children's Day. Each scholar was furnished with a small American flag and a parade was Inaugurated. A few hours later a con vention of liquor dealers was marched over the same ground, and by a strange coincidence each man carried an Amer ican flag of exactly the same size as those which the Sunday school children had carried. In speaking of the occurrence, Mr. Overton said he was at once struck by the thought that a distinctive emblem was needed which might be symbolic of Christianity. And in this he meant no disrespect to the American flag. It was simply that the Stars and Stripes are too far reaching. "There can be no opposition to the assertion that nothing awakens such enthusiasm and emotion as a flag." said Mr. Overton. "An army without its colors Is Inconceivable; then why not equip the army of the Lord with a flag appropriate to Its mission? I would suggest that upon the standard that carries the flag a crown might replace the eagle or spear, emblematic of the reward awaiting the faithful." A Jikluk Killed by n Turkey, The fashion by which Judge Samuel Ashe of the First North Carolina Su preme Court came to Ills death must have been extremely mortifying to him. He was killed by a turkey gobbler. One day, after he had become very old and infirm, he was placed in a chair under the shade of a tree In his yard. A red cap protected his ancient noddle from the attacks of flies, and his com fort was so well provided for in every way that a sweet slumber stole upon him, and caused him to nod. A large turkey gobbler, which patrolled that precinct, mistaking this far a challenge, immediately gave battle. On a 3udden the Judge's sweet slumbers were broken by the flap of hostile wings, and ere he could collect his scattered senses a well-directed spur smote him in the temple, and he fell down and gave p the ghost. OLD GRADDLES HAD APHASIA A Itemon.tration In N.rvon. Pathology That loot 8.40. Old Hardy Oraddlea, who had limped around in the Teton Basin for years on a muscle-tied foot, at last wearied of the wobbly exertion, went down to Salt Lake to have the defective mem ber treated. He came back after an absence of a month, and his neighbors gathered about him to hear the strange tales which he would have to tell of experience In a great city. He describ ed the Temple and the Tabernacle and the Dooley Building, and quite en chanted them. "What was the finest thing you see?" finally asked Si Redee, in recapitula tion. "Well, men," said Hardy, "the be3t —reely the best—thing I see was a fel ler In the hospital. He in-trusted me u lot, an' 1 heerd all about biA. He had aphasia," speaking the last word with a proud deliberation. Redee look ed at Watts, and Watts glared intently at Red Pete Ruble. The last mention ed broke the spell. "What's that? A for'n country, ain't it? Seems I heerd of it afore in a jog gify." "Naw," said Hardy, scornfully. "It ain't a place—it's a thing. Somethln' out o' gear, you know." But they did not know. They were even worse confounded than before. "Like a Russian thistle, mebbe," said Pete, dubiously, still clinging to the geographical theory. "No such. A man fergits how to talk or somethln'." "Deef an' dumb man? I seen"— "Naw. Nuw. Man that kin talk jls' fergits how. Fergits everythin'." "It can't be did," declared Pete with decision. Hardy looked at hint pityingly. "Dog it all, I say it kin; I seen it Here—l'll show you. Who's got a $lO note?" Among them they got together $8.40, and Hardy said that he could illustrate to some extent, perhaps, with that amount. "Now," he said, taking possession of the money, "you all know that you give me this money, don't you?" They did and said so. "Well," rolling his eyes and assum ing a rigid attitude, "I've forgot it. Fer got all about it. That's aphasia." "Humph!" grunted Ruble. "Seems a fool of a thing, don't it? Gimme my $2.40." Hardy gazed at him in a stony, va cant way. "Give me my $2.40," Ruble repeated with some show of sternness. "I —I—seems like I heerd somethin' about a sum o' money some'res," Har dy responded, in a hesitating way. "There's a dollar and a half comln' to me," Redee uttered fiercely. "Gents," said Hardy, sorrowfully, "I can't remember it. I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talkin' about. I've got that there aphasia." They gathered around him, clamor ing for their funds. They now began to understand. But they could not con vince him. "I'm sorry, as I say, gents," Hardy said, meekly. "But its scientlfick. It ain't my fault. On the subject of any money you might 'a' give me—an' meb be you did give me some, p'raps—my mind is like a blank sheet o' paper. I am a poor victim of a pe-uu-liar disor der, as you might say. Good-day." He was a man of six feet, four inch es, and, although along in years, he had been the hardest and best fighter in the Basin, even in his crippled time. They looked at him gloomily, therefore, as he walked away, and no man dared say him nay. Only Red Pete Ruble expressed the general sen timent when he made certain feeling ind torrid remarks which Imparted to the world at large the fact'that he was utterly disgusted with science in all its forms.

The newest type ot dynamite gun consists of two tubes placed directly one above the other, whereas in the old type there are three tubes placed side by side in the same horizontal plane. The elimination of the third tube means a great saving in the weight of the gun and at the same time it is claimed its effectiveness is in creased. It is said that the gun can be fired at least five times in two min utes. Of the two tubes the upper 13 several feet the longer and is smooth bore. It receives the projectile, and the mater ial used in its construction is either brass or steel, the latter being prefer able. Within the lower tube there is an inner tube in which the blank cart ridge containing seven ounces of smokeless powder is placed. The in ner tube opens into the lower tube, which in turn opens into the upper tube through a port immediately be hind the projectile. When the pro jectile is placed in the upper tube and the blank cartridge in the lower, the breeches are closed and the gun i 3 ready for firing. The pulling of the lanyard explodes the smokeless pow der, which compresses the air in the tube, and this, passing into the upper tube through the port, exerts there a pressure of 3,000 pounds to the square inch. This pressure expels the pro jectile. The air forms a cushion that protects from shock the walls of the shell, and, it is claimed, obviates the danger whioh would follow from the concussion of the powder were it ex ploded directly behind the projectile. The entire length of the projectile used is thirty-four inches. This in cludes a tail piece about ten inches in length and fitted with a vane set at an angle that insures slow rotation. The body of the shell is a brass cylinder having a conical head containing a fuse. The main body of the shell con tains usually a charge of explosive gelatine, although guncotton or any other explosive may be used. The ignition is effected by means of a me chanical fuse, and it is so arranged that the explosion can follow immed iately upon impact or may be delayed for as much as six seconds thereafter. When the shell strikes the water or any other object, a small steel ball, acting as a hammer, is driven forward by the sudden retardation of the flight of the shell and strikes one or more percussion caps, causing a detonation. This ignites a tube of powder commu nicating with the fulminate of mer cury, and so explodes successively the guncotton and the main explosive. The fuse embodies a device which renders the shell inactive until it has traveled at least 300 feet from t'ho gun. This device is very ingenious. There is attached to the head of the fuse a lit tle vane or windmill, which is fastened to a threaded rod running back into the head of the fuse far enough to press on the small steel ball mention ed, and hold it in place. As the pro jectile passes through the air the blades revolve, and, in revolving, un screw the threaded rod, and thus re lease the small steel ball, which is now ready to run forward and explode the primers. In connection with the firing of the gun there is neither smoke nor noise. It cannot be heard at the distance of one-half mile, nor can any smoke be seen. Thus it would be nearly im possible for sharpshooters or rapid-lire gunners to locate tike gun. How John Hull Got His Nome. Now that John Bull and Uncle Sam are exchanging compliments in such friendly fashion folk are asking where ; our transatlantic cousin got his name, ; and very few people can answer the j question. It is of special interest to note just now that it was inoculated in a story of Spanish affairs. Dr. John Arbutbuot, one of the many royal physicians to whom the Scotch I city of Aberdeen has given birth, was the author of John Bull's being. Al most forgotten now by all but the erudite, who remember him as the in timate of Pope and Swift, Arbuthnot christened the British nation in bulk as John Bull in the political strife in cidental to the dismissal of the whig Ministry of 1710, when the able and avaricious Marlborough saw the begin ning of the decline of his brilliant for tunes. "The History of John Bull" was a satire on the political events preced ing the treaty of Utrecht in 1.713, writ ten by Arbuthnot. In 1704 he was created physician extraordinary to the Queen in recognition of his services in saving the life of Anne's husband, ! Prince George of Denmark. He had become the Queen's confidential medi cal attendant, a position of no mean importance at a time when so much depended on the succession to the crown, and he was closely in touch i with court life. "For the better understanding the [ following history, the reader ought to know that Bull, in the main, was an honest, plain dealing fellow, choleric, bold and of a very inconstant temper. He dreaded not old Lewis, either at backsword, single falchion or cudgel play; but then he was very apt to quar rel with his best friends, especially if they pretended to govern him; if you flattered him you might lead him like a child. John's temper depended very much upon the air; his spirits rose and fell with the weather glass. "John was guick and understood his business very well; but no man alive was more careless In looking into his accounts or more cheated by part ners." ! fcw- WHAT TO WEAR AND HOW TO MAKE IT May Manton's Hints Kegardiug Seuitonuble Toilettes; The popularity of the ruffled skirt made from taffeta, either black, gray or beige color, seems to increase as the season advances and it bids fair to take first place for year with waists of various sorts. The model shown is in a soft shade of gray and is worn with a fancy waist of figured silk, showing bits of pale corn color in conjunction with mousseline de soie of the same tender yellow. The foundation skirt Is cir cular and fits snugly about tho hips. The frills, which are five inches in width, are each cut bias and edged with velvet ribbon stitched on. The fancy waist Is made over a fit ted lining which closes at the centre front, but is itself fitted by shoulder seams and smooth under arm gores and closes below the left side, the basque being separate and seamed to the waist proper. The full mousse line is faced to yoke depth at the back and stitched to the right front but hooks over into place at the left shoul der and beneath the left rever. At the neck is a soft collar of the same, supplemented by a frill. The rcvers are each faced with gray and are trimmed with tiny ribbon frills which match the mousseline in shade. To make this waist for a lady of medium size five yards of material twenty-two inches wide will be re quired. To cut the skirt fifteen yards of the same width will be required, the ruffles alone calling for eight yards. Girl's Cost nine. | This stylish dress of white organdy is made up over blue lawn linings, the effect being particularly dainty and childlike. Valenciennes lace edg , Ing and insertion forms the pretty and ; inexpensive decoration. The yoke is made from finely tucked organdie that is sold all ready tucked for this purpose, and is a great help in the development of children's dresses. The full blouse front and gathered back are arranged over a perfectly fitted lining, the yoke being | applied at the top. The closing is j made invisible in the center back. | Graduated frills form bretelles over J the shoulders, a band of insertion j heading the gathers, and a correspond ing band divides the full front from the yoke and extends over the bre telles. The fitting sleeves arc banded with four rows of the insertion at equal distances apart, a puff of the or gandy being set on at the top and a frill of lace falling from the wrists. The gored skirt which is a special feature of children's styles this season, is finished at the foot with a straight frill 3 Inches in depth, edged with in sertion and narrow lace, two bands of insertion encircling the skirt. The fullness at the back is collected in gathers and the skirt is sewed to the lower edge of the waist, the bands oVer the shoulders extending with pointed ends several inches over the top of skirt in front and back. In can be made up without the lin ing to wear over colored slips, as is the fashion in organdies and other plain or figured thin materials. To make this frock for a child of ten years will require 3>,i yards of 30-inch ma terial. Health for Everybody! When the Kidneys, Bladder and Urinary Organs are in a / healthy state, a person is practically disease-proof. Sick ness can hardly find a foothold when those organs are ® Yfgto well and strong. The Kidneys sift and strain from the fi\ ~ 1 blood poisonous and waste matter. When they arc weak and diseased, the poisonous particles do not pass off, but remain in the system. They y cause pain in the small of the back, Stone in the Bladder, and Bright's Disease. WifflSn /\a/ \\ /U it is easy to tell if your Kidneys are !li58 yy disordered. Put some urine in a bottle or WfflW ~| >v glass for 24 hours. If there is a sediment, Rr II j| I*l you have Kidney disease. Other signs are Y ' (/ a desire to urinate often, particularly at X\ night, and a smarting, scalding sensation in passing water. Nothing is so good for curing diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder and Urinary Organs as Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, that grand medicine which has been before the public for over 30 years. It should be taken without delay by men and women who have any of the above symptoms, as the disease is apt to prove fatal if not attended to. From the Convent of the Good Shepherd, Troy, N.
