Ile fol tho Me* one Sunday morilla M ho htM In bed. and bc bogged it lo bis soul and chuckled uver lt for a wee* before be saki any¬ thing to a livia soul. Everybody knew by his actions that soincthin was up, but they couldn't flgger *>ut exactly what lt was. At length, when Sat¬ urday Bight caine, And there was the usual crowd at the poitofficc, be shot oir his goa He bad his speech all pre¬ pared. Ile told how thc American Hag was tirst flung io the brees* how men cheered for liberty as they saw lt.how lt bad given freedom to a con¬ tinent and brought happiness to mil¬ lions. Men had fought cheerln for that flag, and men had died blossln lt. He wanted lt h'lstod In Jericho at sun¬ rise every day in the year, and he wanted children to cry for lt and men and women to venerate lt. Monday was wash day In Jericho, uni! front yards and back yards made a beauti¬ ful showlu of sheets and shirts and "ItAVH WK NO If BL1C Sl'KKKIT aMO.NO VS?" towels ami tablecloths, bot above them all would Hap and flop tbe Hag which had covered tbe hemes of Bun¬ ker Hill as they died In the cause of liberty. As moo a-* tho crowd had recovered from Its surprise and bemm to cheer Deacon Spooner said lt was a mighty strong p'lnt and one worthy of a leadln patriot of Jericho. He was heartily lu favor of the Idea, nml be would thea nnd there contribute 13 cents toward the purchase of a public flag. Ile also thought a vote of thanks was due Enos for lils cuteness In thlnkin out the Idea. A nappin, (toppin flag b'lsted to tho balmy bredes of Jericho would give the town worldwide fame and probably result tn a boom. Then Hosea Saunders spoke. His grandfather had died while Agbtln un¬ der the stars aud stripes. His father had fallen and killed himself while cllmhlu a flagpole. Ills mother had wrapped bim In the flag of liberty when he was born, and be had lon;* thought of ha vin a group of stars tat¬ tooed between his shoulders. He loved his wife and children, and he set a heap of value on lils hoss and cow, hut be loved the flag of his country more. It was hard times, and money was tight, but he would go without tobacco for a month lu order to contribute a tshillln toward the purchase of a flag. With his own hands. If agreeable to all, he would h'lst the emblem at sun¬ rise ami lower lt nt sunset durin the rest of his natural life. The deacon said that was also a beautiful speech, with a mighty strong p'lnt to lt. and the feelln's of the crowd had got so worked np over free¬ dom and liberty that tears stood in many eyes. Hosea was follered by Squar Joelyn, Pblletus Williams. Abra¬ ham White and others, ami there was frequent cheerln and shakln hands. About ten years ago Abljah Davison's dog tore the par otT a hog owned by Joel Hardman, and the men have been enemies ever since, but under the ex¬ citement and the patriotism engender ed by them speeches they fell into each other's arms ami became brothers ag'ln. It was Anally settled that a pub¬ lic contribution should be taken up to buy a $ir> flag, and then came the ques¬ tion of where lt should be raised. Bnos Hopkins, who had started lt all. got up In a modest way nml said he would go to the expense of plantln a pole lu front of bis house. It was on high ground, and the flag could be seen from every house lu Jericho. "We shouldn't put Enos to all that trouble." said Deacon spooner as be rose up. "He's done lils sheer In think- In out the plan. I'll see that the flag ls duly displayed from the roof of my cooper shop when lt arrives." "What's the matter with h'lstln it Aver my groceryV" asked Dan Skinner as be wiped the tears of emotion from lils eyes. "Or with h'lstln lt over my coal yard?" said Darius Waterman, who calculated to chip In 10 cents nnd no more. Then everybody bobbed np and de¬ manded to be heard. Every man pres ent wanted that Hag In front of his house or place of business and no¬ where els**, and porty soon they was shakln their lists nnd savin they'd be . turned If they wouldn't have lt there or refuse to contribute a red cent. There w»« n lively row on in two mln- Its. with no more weepita over patriot¬ ism. As the row grew hotter Abljah ....-¦».., tnr.,,.,1 to Joel Hardman and eaid ho was glad his dog had hit the ear oft* that hog and that he'd like to .servo Joel the same way. Deacon Spooner rattled on the stovepipe with bis cane until he quieted the racket, and then he said: "Feller patriots, but bave we no pub¬ lic spoorlt among usV" "We bara? yelled tho crowd. "Then let us exhibit IL Bein my cooper shop ls the highest buildin In town and bein the American flng has got to flip-flap hi. the breeze to he seen aud venerated, I unselfishly offer to put up a pole and take charge of the flag." "So do I!" shouts every man in the crowd. Then Squar Joelyn made n speech. He told Ix>w n million men lind died for thnt flng; how Its stars nnd bars hnd made tyrnnts tremble; how a young nation had worshiped lt and made all the world respect it. lie wound up nfter ten intuits by offerin to float it from his boss barn, but only hisses nnd groans follored. There wns signs that three or four patriots would soon be puncbin each others bead when Usu BJUlugs stivHod In In that tarelesa war i u. ---v.

" 'Pears to me," said Lts.0 aa ho start¬ ed to wander out ag'in " 'pears to me that as none of you can tell the differ once between the American flag and a tablecloth you'd better hang up an old army blanket most anywhere aud let lt go at thal." And at the fud of five mlnlts more there wasn't a patriot left In thc post- office, and nolhln more has ever been said about boyla a public flag. M. QtT.\r>. THEY SLEEP HANGING UP. Sloth* and tinta Snapend Ttaemaelvea Without Kiertlon. There ls on*1 animal which lives en¬ tirely In trees, bul is able to maintain Its position during slumber without the least exercise of muscular force. This ls the sloth, common In the forests of tropical America. Its long claws are so bent that they hook over the branches and allow the creature to hang upside down like an animated hammock] Cu¬ riously enough, the hammock appears to Ive a South American Invention and ls universally employed by all the In¬ dian tribes of the Amnions. Perhaps the primitive human dwellers In this region took to sleeping in hammocks after observing the habits of th*- sloth. Tho great ant eater, which ls both a kinsman and fi How countryman of the sloth, has an enormous tall, which lt uses In a very remarkable manner. I recently saw two of these strange nnl- mals lying together asleep, nnd they had arranged their tails so cleverly that their whole I tod les were hidden from view. Moreover, lt was evident that this caudal covering would afford excellent protection from thc weather, for the central solid part of the tails acted as a kind of ridge pole over the highest part of the sleepers' bodies, so that the long fringes of hair sloped downward on each side like the thatch upon a roof. Like the sloths, many klmls of bats sleep suspended by their hooked claws without any muscular exertion what¬ ever. Some of the large fruit eating bats of the tropics, which do not sleep in holes like the species common in southern latitudes, but which hang sus¬ pended to the branches of trees In the open air, adopt a position which lt would be difficult to bent for economy nnd comfort. Gould's fruit eating bat common In the warmer parts of Aus¬ tralia, suspends Itself upside down by one hind foot nnd wraps its body In the tentlike folds of Its wing membranes, which extend right down to the an- kies. its shoulders, to which th*' mem¬ brane ls attached, are humped up so nR to act as eaves to shoot off the rnln, nml when asleep lt draws Its head mi¬ ller their shelter nnd nestles Its none anions: the warm fur of Its chest SAVED BY PALMISTRY.

With the customary luck of a beginner he had buss and perch galore to answer the Invitation of his halt Presently tho Impulses of the hu¬ mane side Of his nature made n little hesitating protest against the mon' savngo Instincts of the sportsmanlike Bidet. The wriggling of the fish when ho caught them troubled him, and he sought to apologise to his conscience for the suffering he was apparently In¬ flicting. Ile said. "1 think the nason tiley Jump so ls that they aro ho glad to get out of thnt wet water." Curiously enough, If we may accept tho testimony of the scientists, the lit¬ tle hoy was qolte right. A fish ls never so happy as when he ls drawn out of the water. The air ls to him quite all that laughing gas ls to a human being. It gives him a hundred times moro oxygen per second than his gills ever got for him fnnn the Inhalation of wa¬ ter. It makes him delightfully drunk¬ en. It exhilarates him. It fills him with a completeness of physical Joy. the only Joy ho ls capable of feeling. wholly unknown to him In his native element Ho dies presently, it is true, but he dies in an ecstasy of enjoyment Instead of dying In lils appointed fash¬ ion hy suffocation In the maw of some bigger fish. lu a footnote to the thirteenth canto of "Don Juan" Byron denounces izaak Walton as a "sentimental savage" and Characterises fishing as "the cruelest, the coldest of pretended sports." That only shows how little Myron knew about the matter. Ills sports Involved tho sacrifice of women rather than worms. It ls time to sot this matter of fish¬ ing upon Its moral legs, as lt were, an end to Ito accomplished merely by tell¬ ing the truth shout lt A fish ls the very lowest form of the vertebrates, lt ls Incapable of any Joy except that of getting hooked and thus drawn out of the water to which Its nature con¬ demns lt and for a time breathing tho air that Intoxicates lt In delightfully deadly fashion. It has not even the In¬ stinct of sexual association except In the case of n few rnre species. It knows nothing of companionship, for the scientists tell us that even when { tish swim In "schools" lt ls only l*e- cnuso they are engaged In a common predatory pursuit of prey, each endeav¬ oring to snatch fnnn the others the morsels they neck to SWSllow. Po low In the scale ls the fish thnt oven tn eating he hus no pleasure ex¬ cept that of distending his stomach. for the scientists find no "taste gob lets" at the base of his tongue, and ev¬ ery fisherman knows that the fish swallows his prey whole, with na pos¬ sibility of detecting Its flavor. And further, every fisherman who ba.-- troll¬ ed knows that the Ash is >;.> far nn In¬ discriminate goriuaud In his nea roll for food that he will swallow a coffee spoon with a bur attached as readily ns the daintiest bait morsel fiat eec!,; Ix' displayed in front of his greedy eyes and lils rapacious mouth. Still, nguiu, every fish that is caught upon a hook gets only what be de serves. He ls caught every iliac tn an attempt to swallow some other ena lure whole and digest lt In slow tor lure. Indeed tbe entire life of every fish ls passed In a ceaseless endeavor to catch and swallow other fish. So far ns science can discover, Tish of most unvotes make no distinction oven in fa¬ vor of their own young, their only Brround of selection being a considera¬ tion for their Individual throats In th*' net of swallowing. On that account done the severely splned sunfish es¬ capes the predatory perch, mid the !>ullhcnd the moment his "horns" are fiard censes to be In danger even from the most vornelous of pickerel.

Tho In¬ terest In the billboard display and In tbe Circus itself when lt entered tlie town witli a great Illaro of trumpets was so great that Consul BrOOdSgS thought lt worth while to rtend a report about it to the Mate department Tbe art display on the billboards was a revelation to everybody. The thrilling and marvelous scenes to be witnessed under the canvas were de¬ picted In thc most expansive nnd high¬ ly colored style of American circus art. Ni.thing like tbe magnitude and stun¬ ning character of this billpostlng bad ever been seen In thc town before, and the free show given on every dead wall was (he talk of Alx-ln-Cbapelle for a fortnight before the circus arrived. Thousands thronged around thc circus grounds when the big wagons snd tent hands arrived, and the way tho lings were prepared ami the tents erected caused even more astonishment than the spectacular billboards.

from Its surprise and bemm to cheerDeacon Spooner said lt was a mightystrong p'lnt and one worthy of a leadlnpatriot of Jericho. He was heartily lufavor of the Idea, nml be would theannd there contribute 13 cents towardthe purchase of a public flag. Ile alsothought a vote of thanks was due Enosfor lils cuteness In thlnkin out the Idea.A nappin, (toppin flag b'lsted to thobalmy bredes of Jericho would givethe town worldwide fame and probablyresult tn a boom.Then Hosea Saunders spoke. His
grandfather had died while Agbtln un¬
der the stars aud stripes. His fatherhad fallen and killed himself whilecllmhlu a flagpole. Ills mother hadwrapped bim In the flag of libertywhen he was born, and be had lon;*thought of ha vin a group of stars tat¬tooed between his shoulders. He lovedhis wife and children, and he set a
heap of value on lils hoss and cow, hutbe loved the flag of his country more.It was hard times, and money wastight, but he would go without tobaccofor a month lu order to contribute atshillln toward the purchase of a flag.With his own hands. If agreeable toall, he would h'lst the emblem at sun¬rise ami lower lt nt sunset durin therest of his natural life.The deacon said that was also a
beautiful speech, with a mighty strongp'lnt to lt. and the feelln's of thecrowd had got so worked np over free¬dom and liberty that tears stood inmany eyes. Hosea was follered bySquar Joelyn, Pblletus Williams. Abra¬ham White and others, ami there was
frequent cheerln and shakln hands.About ten years ago Abljah Davison'sdog tore the par otT a hog owned byJoel Hardman, and the men have beenenemies ever since, but under the ex¬citement and the patriotism engendered by them speeches they fell into eachother's arms ami became brothersag'ln. It was Anally settled that a pub¬lic contribution should be taken up tobuy a $ir> flag, and then came the ques¬tion of where lt should be raised. BnosHopkins, who had started lt all. gotup In a modest way nml said he wouldgo to the expense of plantln a pole lufront of bis house. It was on highground, and the flag could be seenfrom every house lu Jericho."We shouldn't put Enos to all that
trouble." said Deacon spooner as berose up. "He's done lils sheer In think-In out the plan. I'll see that the flag lsduly displayed from the roof of mycooper shop when lt arrives.""What's the matter with h'lstln it

Every man present wanted that Hag In front of hishouse or place of business and no¬where els**, and porty soon they wasshakln their lists nnd savin they'd be. turned If they wouldn't have lt thereor refuse to contribute a red cent.There w»« n lively row on in two mln-Its. with no more weepita over patriot¬ism.

THEY SLEEP HANGING UP.Sloth* and tinta Snapend Ttaemaelvea

There ls on*1 animal which lives en¬
tirely In trees, bul is able to maintainIts position during slumber without theleast exercise of muscular force. Thisls the sloth, common In the forests oftropical America. Its long claws are so
bent that they hook over the branchesand allow the creature to hang upsidedown like an animated hammock] Cu¬riously enough, the hammock appearsto Ive a South American Invention andls universally employed by all the In¬dian tribes of the Amnions. Perhapsthe primitive human dwellers In thisregion took to sleeping in hammocksafter observing the habits of th*- sloth.Tho great ant eater, which ls both a
kinsman and fi How countryman of thesloth, has an enormous tall, which ltuses In a very remarkable manner. Irecently saw two of these strange nnl-mals lying together asleep, nnd theyhad arranged their tails so cleverlythat their whole I tod les were hiddenfrom view. Moreover, lt was evidentthat this caudal covering would affordexcellent protection from thc weather,for the central solid part of the tailsacted as a kind of ridge pole over thehighest part of the sleepers' bodies, so
that the long fringes of hair slopeddownward on each side like the thatchupon a roof.Like the sloths, many klmls of bats
sleep suspended by their hooked clawswithout any muscular exertion what¬ever. Some of the large fruit eatingbats of the tropics, which do not sleepin holes like the species common insouthern latitudes, but which hang sus¬
pended to the branches of trees In theopen air, adopt a position which ltwould be difficult to bent for economynnd comfort. Gould's fruit eating batcommon In the warmer parts of Aus¬tralia, suspends Itself upside down byone hind foot nnd wraps its body In thetentlike folds of Its wing membranes,which extend right down to the an-

A little Ixty was Qshtng for tho firsttime. With the customary luck of a
beginner he had buss and perch galoreto answer the Invitation of his haltPresently tho Impulses of the hu¬
mane side Of his nature made n littlehesitating protest against the mon'
savngo Instincts of the sportsmanlikeBidet. The wriggling of the fish whenho caught them troubled him, and hesought to apologise to his consciencefor the suffering he was apparently In¬flicting. Ile said. "1 think the nason
tiley Jump so ls that they aro ho glad to
get out of thnt wet water."Curiously enough, If we may accept
tho testimony of the scientists, the lit¬tle hoy was qolte right. A fish ls never
so happy as when he ls drawn out ofthe water. The air ls to him quite allthat laughing gas ls to a human being.It gives him a hundred times moro
oxygen per second than his gills ever
got for him fnnn the Inhalation of wa¬
ter. It makes him delightfully drunk¬en. It exhilarates him. It fills himwith a completeness of physical Joy.the only Joy ho ls capable of feeling.wholly unknown to him In his nativeelement Ho dies presently, it is true,but he dies in an ecstasy of enjoymentInstead of dying In lils appointed fash¬ion hy suffocation In the maw of some
bigger fish.lu a footnote to the thirteenth canto
of "Don Juan" Byron denounces izaakWalton as a "sentimental savage" andCharacterises fishing as "the cruelest,the coldest of pretended sports." Thatonly shows how little Myron knewabout the matter. Ills sports Involvedtho sacrifice of women rather thanworms.
It ls time to sot this matter of fish¬ing upon Its moral legs, as lt were, an
end to Ito accomplished merely by tell¬ing the truth shout lt A fish ls thevery lowest form of the vertebrates, ltls Incapable of any Joy except that ofgetting hooked and thus drawn out ofthe water to which Its nature con¬
demns lt and for a time breathing thoair that Intoxicates lt In delightfullydeadly fashion. It has not even the In¬stinct of sexual association except Inthe case of n few rnre species. Itknows nothing of companionship, forthe scientists tell us that even when {tish swim In "schools" lt ls only l*e-cnuso they are engaged In a commonpredatory pursuit of prey, each endeav¬oring to snatch fnnn the others themorsels they neck to SWSllow.Po low In the scale ls the fish thnt
oven tn eating he hus no pleasure ex¬
cept that of distending his stomach.for the scientists find no "taste goblets" at the base of his tongue, and ev¬
ery fisherman knows that the fishswallows his prey whole, with na pos¬sibility of detecting Its flavor. Andfurther, every fisherman who ba.-- troll¬ed knows that the Ash is >;.> far nn In¬discriminate goriuaud In his nea roll forfood that he will swallow a coffeespoon with a bur attached as readilyns the daintiest bait morsel fiat eec!,;Ix' displayed in front of his greedy eyesand lils rapacious mouth.
Still, nguiu, every fish that is caughtupon a hook gets only what be deserves. He ls caught every iliac tn an
attempt to swallow some other ena
lure whole and digest lt In slow torlure. Indeed tbe entire life of everyfish ls passed In a ceaseless endeavorto catch and swallow other fish. So farns science can discover, Tish of mostunvotes make no distinction oven in fa¬vor of their own young, their onlyBrround of selection being a considera¬tion for their Individual throats In th*'net of swallowing. On that accountdone the severely splned sunfish es¬
capes the predatory perch, mid the!>ullhcnd the moment his "horns" are
