REVIVAL OF THE INN.
Public House· are Changed to Suit
the Needs of the Day.
While some reformers are bent on
ending the public house, others are
busy at mending it. We need not
decide for bn'h; in many places there
are too many public houses, and of
those that would in any case re
main, many might well be bettered.
The annual report of the public
house trust ehows that substantial
progress is being made in this direc
tion The principal aim of the trust
is the revival of the inn as a place of
all-round refreshment and its extinc
tion as a mere drinking bar. "The
man who asks for bovril gets the
same smile a? the man who asks for
ketf;" that is the advertii-'rment and
the m :to Lord Grey's movement is
a most hopeful one; it takes for
granted that men will not be deprived
of their beer: but it ofTers every in
>: . · r.t to the consumption of other
c'ip< than 'hose which inebriate, and
• f eatables as well as drinkables, and
.t ;<r decent, wholesome, cheer
ful surround Inge. The movement, is
I · ' ·.. arly opportune in rural district
Γ come- at a time when there is a
c ·.- ierable revival in the waysid··
r.n as a place of r.· <■· -- ir> refresh
nHos'elries which seemed to
hav<i> teen killed by the railway are

and the motor. At a time when so
many people are thus taking to the
r' ad airain, it is very appropriate
that, an effort should be made to im

ERRORS OF THE TYPES.
A Few of the Misprints That Shorten
Editors' Lives.
At a literary dinner in New York
C Ρ Gibs. η. the illustrator, quoted a
Dumber of amusing misprints for sev
eral years, and already had in his
collection 2"0 pood specimens.
He first quoted a misprint about a
Mihop who was confined to the house
with a violent cold. The newspaper
that mentioned the prelate's illness
said he was "confined to the house
with a violent scold."
Another quotation concerned a Brit
ish nobleman who had joined a party
of friends in Hampshire for the pur
pose of shooting pheasants. This
the compositor had made to read
"He has joined a party of friends in
Hampshire for the purpose of shoot
ing peasants."
That, though." said Mr. Gibson, "is
an old and famous misprint, and you
may have hear! of it before. You
may, too, have heard of the one about
a 'surgeon taken alive in the river
that sold for six centi a pound." But
I doubt if any of you have evt r heard
of the misprint that appeared ast
February in a Vermont newspap* r
This paper wished to say in prai-e of
a very aged and distinguished citi
zen :
"'John Green is a noble old bur
gher. proudly loving his native «tat·*.'
"But the types made this sentence
run :
John Green is a nobby old burglar,
prowling around in a naked state.' "

WASHINGTON
AND THE AMERICAN FLAG
by rev. r. p. oi/rrv. m. d.
Secretary of Om Amerlctn Church Bible Inatltut·

It is universally admitted that as a
patriot George Washington stands
without a rival in the annals of the
world. It is cot, however, so gener
ally allowed that as a military genius
he transcends all others. Americans
and his admirers the world over
might well rest coûtent with behold
ing their ideal citizen acclaimed with
universal consent the unique figure
in the annals of human weal, industry
and peace. YX I do not think it would
be hard to show that even in military
genius he is still without a peer.
But the arts of peace, not war. is
our theme, and we shall therefore
leave the question of military genius
to a more convenient season and ad
dress ourselves to the subject in
hand: Washington and the American
flag. This naturally falls under the
threefold head—Washington's Ances
try. the Evolution of the Flag, and the
Symbolism of the Flag."
First. Washington's Ancestry. As
far as historical research has yet
reached back. Washington's ancestry
has been located in Durham, in the
north of England From Durham s<>m>
f the Washingtons migrated to I.anca
fhirf. Then we find them settling in
Northamptonshire, in the reign of
Henry VII. From Northampton the
great-grandfather of Washington emi
erated to America in or about the y< ar
1657. The pursuits followed by the
Washingtons may be summed up
under the church, the army, the law
and the farm. It is around this last
that the most interesting and roman
tic incidents of the family gather, and
Northampton is the scene of the vary
ing vicissitudes that culminated in thp
■migration of Lawrence Washington
In Virginia
For three generations the .Vashing
tons lived in Northampton, taking
rank with the gentry of the county,
and there they made more than one
alliance with the nobility, l^awrence
appears to have been a family name
among the Washington*. The uncle
of the first historical Lawrence was
Sir Thomas Kitson. one of the gTeat
merchants who in the reigns of Henry
VII. and Henry VIII. developed the
wool trade of England.
Althorp. in Brington parish, was
the seat of the Spencers, and the
Spencers were connected by marriage
with the Kitsons. and therefore with
the Washingtons. Lady Spencer of
that day was a Kitson, a daughter of
Washington's uncle, and therefore
first cousin to I.awrence. But the rec
tor of Brington. the Rev. Dr. I^eyton
becam·'. through the Spencers a frier.d
of Lawrence, and as Dr. Leyton was
Cromwell's prime commissioner for
the dissolution of the monasteries, he
had if in his pow er to help his friends
And he did help I^awrence Washing
ton by the gTant of Su 1 grave in North
ampton where the Washingtons lived
for three ge^ratinns. Ijiwrence was
interested in civic matters as well as
nfra'i, and became for a time the
mayor of N< rthampton. At the end of
the third generation the Washingtons
failed, so they sold Sulgrave and went
to live in Brington. Here the- eldest
«on married a half sister of George
Villiers. Duke of Buckingham.
The Washingtons sided with the
Kiag (Charles 1 > η the c ■ il war. and
one of them Sir Henr> attained great
distinction for his t'ash and bravery
in h;s operations against the Cromwel
ar- He led the atorniirjf ι artv at
Bristol and It was he who so pallantly
lefended Wi reester His bravery was
uch that an expression of his became
proverbial in 'he army When any
•.rrrat difficulty an -«» it was customary

ι niai, others were regimental, and still
others were for special occasions.
That at Fort Sullivan, Charleston har
bor, was a blue field with a silver
j crescent. The ensifrn under which the
battle of Bunker Hill was fought was
j the New England flag. The flag of an
American cruiser Is thus described by
the London Chronicle of January,
! 1776:
"The field i« white bunting: on the
middle is a green pitve tree; and on
the opposite side Is the motto, "Ap
peal to heaven." The flag of the Cul- 1
pepper men, who marched with Pat
rick Henry, had a rattlesnake, colled
ready to strike, with the words, "Don't
tread on me."
The first American flag havng thir
teen alternate red and white stripes
upon it, there is good reason to believe
was presented to the Philadelphia
Light Horse by Captain Markoe, early |
in 1775. The earliest naval flag show
ed thirteen alternate red and white
stripes with either a pine tree or rat
tli»srake, with the words "Don't tread
j on me." The union flag raised a Cara
bri<!<;e, Jan. 1. 1776. had thirteen alter
nate red and white stripes with the
English union in one corner.
When the necessity for a national
flag made itself felt the Congress of
June 14. 1 777 resolve*! That the flag
of the United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate r> tl and white, and
that the union be thirteen -tars, white
on a blue field representing a new
constellation." The first display of
this flag at a military post was at Fort
Schuyler, site of the present city of
Rome Ν Y Paul Jones claimed he
was the first to show, the stars and
stripes on a naval vessel. The nation
al flag first appeared over a foreign
stronghold. Fort Nassau. New Provi

as providential. But then the alter
nate stripes were seven red and si*
white; and both numbers are sacred.
Let us deal with the seven red stripes
tiret. Look at your flag, and you will
find that the long stripes are three
in number and the short stripes four.
Why are they so divided? Why not
five and two? The answer is: Be
cause three is a sacred number, and
next to one is the most significant,
and four is a sacred number also. One
represents the unity of the Godhead,
and three the Threefold pe»-8onal!ty
of the Deity. Unity and Trinity, or
1 plus 3 equal 4. and four in symbellc
numbers represents completion or
perfection. Four is unique in its com
prehensiveness, Thus we speak of
the four quarters of the globe, the
four cardinal points, the four seasons
of the year, the four winds of heaven,
and in Biblical imagery the four Liv
ing Creatures, the four Judgments of
God. etc But three and four make
seven, another sacred number. In the
Book of Revelation we read of the
Seven Candlesticks, the Seven S«-a!s.
ih<· Seven Trumpets, the Seven Stars,
the Seven Spirits of God. etc. Then
the six white stripes are doubly sym
bolical First, six is a sacred number,
t>< ;ng a double triad, or Trinity twice
τ< '-.eati'd. th«> emphatic trine and sec
ond, white is a unity comprised of
-even, as white light is composed of
the seven prismatic rays which con
sist of three primary and four second
ary, a remarkable correspondence to
the three Jong and the four short red
stripes of the flag But these two,
six and «even, make another sacred
number, 'hirteen. The sacrednes* of
thirteen is intensified by looking a! it
It another way. Three and four multi
plied together produce twleve. anoth
er sacred number, as the twe!»e
tribes, the twelve Apostles, the twelv#
signs of the Zodiac, and such like

DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE
Let the Children Read and Remember the
Immortal Document
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary
people to dissolve the political bands which hare connected them w
other, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate an eq
station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a ec
respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d<c are
causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men arc creat- e<|1
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rightf, ' a
among these, are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That, <> ·' ur®
tnese rights, governments are Instituted among men, deriving tht ir just pow
ere from the consent of the governed; that, whenever aOy form <·ί govern
ment becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to a.t r
or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying ils foundation on
such principles, and organizing its power· in such form, a» to th'-m shall seem
most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, *1<1 dic
t&te that governments long established should not be changed for light and
transient causes: and, accordingly, all ejperlence hath "hown that manKind
are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable. than to right ih«m
selves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, »h<n
a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same < j* .
■ evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right,
! It is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guar-is for
! their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colons··*.
I and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter th'Mr f>>rm«*r
j systems of government. The history oi the present King of Great Hritasr> la
