ADVERTISEMENTS ON FLAGS.

According to Continental critics, the British are a. nation of shopkeepers, but, while we may have the commercial spirit strongly developed, we have never gone quite so far as some of the Dutch people have done recently. “Mr. So-and-so’s motors are the best.” This legend lias for some time been prominently displayed on the Dutch flag, as flown by steamers on the rivers and canals of Holland. Nobody seemed to mind until a Dutch steamer flying a flag thus inscribed entered a Danish port. The Danes were shocked, and said so, and now the Dutch authorities have requested the manufacturers of motors to find some other way of advertising their work.
