FLAGS Or ADMIRALS. R i n k T o ld by t h i S ta r « a n d S e n io r ity b y «ho ( n lo ra. In old eoa storiov one occasionally comes noon the to*jn admiral of the blue, red or white. In bygone days the color of an admiral’s flag pro claimed his rank. Now it denotes his seniority. lienee it comes about that au admiral must carry three personal flags in his locker. There are three grades of ad miral—admiral, vice admiral and rear admiral. At one time commo dore made a kind of half admiral, but that grade has been abolished. The rank of an admiral is made plain to all seafaring persons by the number of stars on the flag hoisted at his foremast head. Thus four stars show an admiral, three a rice admiral and two a rear admiral. This is simple enough, but the hmWising question arose, What if two admirals, two vice admirals or two rear admirals should happen to sail into port, each with a squad ron? What, indeed, if three admi rals, and so forth, should appear on the same scene? How could any one distinguish between them? Some innocent governor or mayor returning a visit of courtesy might call upon the junior lirst, and that would be a bad blunder. To obviate such a mischance it is now the custom for admirals to mark their seniority by the color of their flags. Thus if three rear ad mirals happen into a port the senior flies a blue flag with two stars, the second a red flag with two stars and the junior a white flag with the same constellation. If tho senior should leave port first the second promptly hoists his blue flag and the junior the red. Then if the second admiral steamed away the junior would hoist the blue flag for all the personal satisfaction there was in it i But here a serious question comes up. Suppose in the meantime a fourth rear admiral appeared on the scene. Then, as a naval authority explains, the situation for the re spective flajr lieutenants would be come complicated. There would be two rear admirals of the white, one senior to the other, yet, so far as na val etiquette goes, indistinguishable in a flag sense even to an able sea- j man. Of course this is not very likely to happen except where the fleets of several nations gather. Then there j would be a tremendous scramble to hunt up dates of promotion, because the flag lieutenant who carried his admiral off to call upon a junior wnnld thereafter be an unhappy flag Ivutenant.—Exchange.

In the “ New World of Words,” 17 ’0 “ toilet” is defined as “a kind of Tablecloth or carpet made of fine j Linnen, Satin, Velvet or Tissue spread upon a Table in a Bed Cham ber where Persons of Quality dress themselves; a Dressing-cloth.” A similar definition is given in Bailey’s Headquarters for Candy and Cigars dictionary. The origin of the word WEATHERLY CONFECTIONERY. is curious, for Cotgrave has: “See •Toilette,’ ‘A toylct, the stuff which drapers lay about their cloths; also M . E .C H U R C H a bag to put nightgowns in.’ ” An ancient orinetal cure for can cer was to apply a live toad to the affected part. A well authenticated case of this form of treatment was that of the wife of a merchant of Smyrna. A live toad was strapped tightly over the diseased part, and, it was said, the woman was com pletely cured within a short time. It was a sacrifice upon the part of the toad, however, as it died after it had been on duty twenty-four hours. _____________ Sarcasm.
