The French Tricolor,
The Tricolor, the French national
standard of blue, white and red, di-
vided vertically, originated during the
first French revolutton. 1789 the led
plucked by Camille Desmoulins in the
garden of the Petals Royal became a
rallying sign, and green Was to be
adopted as the national color; but, re-
membering that green was the color
of the hatred Prince d'Artole, they re-
jected it on the following day. They
at first chose, instead, blue and red,
the eolore of the city of Paris, and
• later added the whiteef royalty, that
had been faithfully preseeved by the
national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusilasm. A
few months tater taking of the Bottle,
Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-coloree cooard as e -
badge of reconciliatioa *with the
king.
Thus the Tricolor originated as the
iymbol of the liberty of the French
national, and it conelnued as such

Salted Herrings.
Centuries ago William Buckets; a Hol-
lander of BierWieh, made the then aston-
ishing discovery ,,that salt would pre-
serve fish and that salted fish could be
packed and exported. Before his thne
herrings had to be consumed within a
few days of their capture Buckets salt-
ed them. In ,1380 'William I3uckels salt-
ed tho first hundred of herrings, and,
having salted them, he packed them in
barrels. This exercise of common sense
resulted in a singular development ,of
the resources of the country. The Eng-
lish fisheries were not as prominent
100 years ago as they aro now, and Hol-
land had for a time almost a monopoly
of a market which she was able to cre-
ate and to supply. Buckeis had not to
wait 509 years to have his claim to pub-
lic gratitude recognized. Charles V. had
it statue erected to tho mackerel salt-
er who became the benefactor of his
country. Queen Mary of Hungary. hoW-
ever paid hlm even greater honor. Dur-
