Each Ship Carries 250 Flaqs—Total Expense is $60,000 a Year. (Washington Post.) Stowed away on every ship of the uiti-d States navy, from tug hunt, to ''..one ton battleships, is a bundle of ■ ags, shoulder high and about fifteen teet long. About htlf the lot is com P' sml of foreign Hags, wliich are on 'asod in tiiirk paper bags, with the mime of the country stenciled on the end of the hag. The remainder, in cluding those of ordinary use, are not wrapped, hut tied in round bundles and lettered. The pile contains 2')(> Hags, the regulation number each ship must carry. '1 he making of this number of flags costs the Fnited States $60,001) a year, ot which Ifii.auo is paid for ma teria] alone. Each ship lias forty- three foreign Mags on board constant B'. These Mags are twenty live feet long ami thirteen wid . With these on board the ship is prepared to meet and slow the proper courtesies which naval etiquette demands to all na tions whose high officials should conn 1 aboard or whose wat rs the vessel should i titer while on a cruise. As a ship's quota of flags is renew 'd evorv three years, it is no small job to k<*ep enough Mags on hand, and to this end rnel" Sam keeps a large lag-making establishment running at ful! blast the year round at the Brook lyn navy sard. Here there are nearly one hundred skilled need) "women \ ir’ iuu: every dav in the year except "' inday and holidays, cutting (lie va- ious colored bunting in o strips and sewing and stitching them together in t in ir proper place. Tne most, difficult part of the work is the making of the foreign Mags, for ■amie of them, he it known, are fear- fullv and wonderfully math*. Take, lor example, the Mag of San Salvador. In the hack is a b-lching volcano, ootiring forth its lava and white smoke. On the sides of tiie moun tains is the green foliage and shrub bery. Directly in front is a tranquil si a of sapphire blue. Above th,. vol eano is a rising sun, set in a design of overflowing cornucopias, and a dia mond, from wliich 1 he rays are seiu- 'illating in every direction. To tiie riuht and left of tiie volcano art* drap ed. in varp(l design, banners, which laboriously try to pattern the stars and stripes, and yet not show the phuriarism. Around the whole con catenation is a wreath of cactus branches lovingly embracing the vol cano. while at the top the date of the country’s independence is inscribed. To make a flag of San Salvador costs the United States government just $.12.h0, and when one of these Mags is placed op each battleship ev er'’ three years it can be readily seen that the insignificant litttle republic to tiie south of us is really costing the taxpayers of the country more than 'hey care to admit. Then there is the Mag of China, with its long, crawling, mythical blood-red dragon. To make that flag costs the government something like $10. The Cost a Rica, with its scenic beauty of mountain :md sea. costs $1°. nearly Found a Petrified Body. (Washington Post.) While engaged in tearing out a por tion of the basement of tiie old Car li-le house, at Fairfax ami Cameron streets, in Alexandra, yesterday. W. W. Simpson came suddenly upon a ghastly find. What appeared to be a petrified body of a man was discov- * rod in a secret and hermetically seal ed compartment of the walls of the ancient structure. Mr. Simpson is directing repairs on the house, which i( said to have been bought Itv Fn lericl: L Wager, of Washington. Wail ■ exploring the 'nseniont yesterday afternoon, lie dis covered tiie < impartmont, and imme diately opened it. Tiie body is thought !o be that of an Italian. H was a giant, as the bod.- slows his height wtis almost seven feet. The age of tin* body is a matter of conjecture, as tl;< house was con tructed in 17112. wltili* tiie walis were built in I'll". The Carlisle louse hits always been mi important factor in the histor of j Alexandria, and were the true story I of tiie body known it would undoubt j i illy disclose many startling secrets. Mr. Simpson has leased the house, j and is directing tiie remodelim- and | restoration. He kept a close watch j over ids r‘markable find last night, j He has not yet decided upon the dis posal of the body. The Carlisle house was om* of the ! most noted hostelries in the FniM'd | States 100 years ago. It was the stop- j ittg place of Generals Washington i ami Braddock when they started up- , ■n th'dr disastrous campaign in the French and Indian war, Washington ; and Braddock nn efing defeat at Pitts i burg. It was the rendezvous for the j Southern aristocracy on their Pilgri- | mages from the South to Saratoga ! nd places in tiie North, .and has j sheltered within its wails some of the i most brilliant and illustrious men and ; women who have gone down into j American history. ’ —B e sure to come in and see our line of the most stylish Hats ever 1 show n jn Gaffney.
