After the union with Ireland In

ing to it St. Patrick's cross. The
three crosses of the Fritish flag are
placed on a blue ground in the cor
ner of a bright red flag. St. George's
cross is the straight red cross in the
center, St. Andrew's was a white Mal
tese cross, and St Patrick's cross was
a red cross or tlie same cnnracier. so
these two crosses are placed one over
the other, the red cross of St. Pat
rick the most conspicuous. The white
line showing on either side of this
cross is all that appears of the Scotch
cross. The red cross of St. Patrick
is so placed that the continuity of its
arms is proven, that is. the white Is
broader on one side of the red than
it is the other. This makes the cross
es easily dislnguishable. and one can
not really be said to be on top of
the other, as the red and white are
placed alternately above in each arm
of the cross.

The China's cargo was valued at

an article entitled "When Is Touth
What After Youth?" The principal1
point which he brings out is the po- J
wer of the mind to keep the body
young and vigorous. In the following
extract from hlsartlcle he touches
on this point and also indicates the
divisions between youth, middle age
and old age:
"That we have it in ourpower to
determine our physical and bodily
conditions to a far greater extent than
we do Is an undeniable fact. That we
have it in our power to determine and
to dictate the conditions of 'old aee'
to a marvelous degree Is also an un
deniable fact If we are sufficiently
and sufficiently awake to begin early
enough. "If any arbitrary divisions of the
various periods of life were allowable
I should make the enumeration as fol
lows: Touth barriing the period of ba
byhood to forty-five; middle age forty
five to sixty; approaching age sixty
to seventy-five; old age, seventy-five
to ninety-five and a hundred.

ROYALTY AND POLITICS.
(From the Indianapolis News.)
It la difficult for people in this
country to understand how it happens
that in Europe ell family affairs are
mixed up with politics. Five years
ago the Duchess Jutta of Mecklen
burg married the Prince Danilo, heir
to the crown of Montenegro She is
now at Jena, Germany, being treat
ed for a serious nervous affection. It
Is well known, say forelirn papers,
that this state of ill health is due to
the reception she recently met at the
court of Cettinje. King Nicholas has
obstinately refused to see his daughter-in-law.
The support given by
Austria and Germany to Italy to force
him to abandon Scutari roused him to
fury. King Nicholas will not pardon
his daughter-in-law for being Ger
man, and by his order she was sent
over the frontier. The efforts made
by Prince Danilo for the reception
of his unoffending wife only meet
this response from the fierce old
king: "No Germans about me! Do you
hear that?"

THE BRITISH UNION JACK.
War brought the flag Into the world.
When men first began to fight and
they began Just as soon as there was
anybody to fight with the leader of
each, little band found that he needed
an emblem round which his follow
ers could rally and that could be seen
from a distance by any of his retain
ers and bring them quickly Into the
thickest of the fray..
The early standard was simply a
pole topped with an emblem of some
sort. Very early In history drapery
was attached to these battle standards
to give them greater distinction.
Then the standard itself was done
awsr with and a flag affixed directly
to the Unce. The powerful Aid of
religion was always sought to give

It Is the United States that will, in
all probability, be the ultimate arbit
er in the World-war. Already the ad
ministration has taken tentative steps,
insuring that its willingness to tender j
its good offices shall not oe lost up
cn the European nations. The latest
story now from Washington Is that
this government awaits a reply to the
message sent to Berlin several days
ago, and meant diplomatically to as
certain the real attitude of Germany
toward a cessation of hostilities.
It is a matter of doubt if the kai
ser will at once enter into peace ne
gotiations. In the first place, , there
is no cause for belief that he views
the German reverses as merely tempo
rary and that he still has confidence In
the wonderful German wax machine,

This to one side, and regardless of
the ultlamte direction of the fortunes
of war, the belligerents will turn to

of the other ha gained undoubted
advantage, as lntermedlatory. In the
event that success on either aide in so
decisive as to leave one of the con

vices of the United States still will be
neeJed to soften the asperities of ne
gotiations that cannot be otherwise
than strained and acrimonious.

its aloofness from the theater and
passions and prejudices of war, Asldn
