NB hundred and twenty-flvo
years njro, tho American Con
gress, In session nt Phlladul-
phln resolved "that tho flag of the
United States ho thirteen stripes alter
nate red nnd white; tho Union to ho
thirteen Stars, white, on n hluo field,
representing a now constellation, tho
stars to ho arranged In n circle."
There are many traditions afloat con
corning tho origin of this design, hut
ono In which there Is undoubtedly tho
most truth Is that which credits tho
Idea of tho design to Washington. Tho
general found In tho coat-of-nrms of
his own family n hint from which ho
drew tho design for tho flag. Tho coat-of-arms
of tho Washington family was
two red bars on n whlto ground, nnd
three gilt stnrs nbovo the top bnr. The
American ling, onco decided upon,
wns rushed through In n hurry, for tho
army wns hndly In need of n standard.
Hetay Ross, of Philadelphia, enthu
siastically undertook tho work, nnd In
a few days n beautiful star-spangled
banner was ready to ho unfurled. She
had mado ono alteration In the design
submitted by Washington. Tho (Jen
oral hnd mado his star six pointed, as
they were on his coat-of-nrms; Uetsy
Fine of the Colonies, Predecessor of tho Start
nnd Stripes.
The Ituttlesimko King,
ltoMS mmlo her stars with live points
and live points Imvo been used over
since. For several years Mrs. Ross
mittlo tho Hags for the (iovcrnnient.
Tho llrst using of tho stars, and
stripes In military service, It Is claimed,
was at Fort Stnnwlx, renamed Fort
Schuyler, now Koine, Now York, 1777.
August 1! of that year tho fort was be
sieged by tho Krltlsh and Indians; tho
garrison was without it Hag, but one
was mado In the fort. Tho red stripes
woro of a petticoat furnished by n
woman, the whlto for stripes and stars
was supplied by an olllcer, who gave
his shirt for the purpose, and tho hlua
was a pleco of Colonel Peter OaiiRO
voort's military cloak., Three women
worked on the Hag, mid It was raised to
victory on the --d of August, when the
redmen nnd tho Krltlsh wero defeated
at tho fort.
Tho next record of tho using of the
Blurs and Stripes Is on the llrst anni
versary of Amorlcan Independence,
Charleston, S. C, and other places,
July -I, 1777. Tho banner was used at
tho battlo of tho Kraudywluo Septem
ber 11, 1777; at Oernmutown, October
4, of tho same year, and It also float
ed over tho surrender of Iltirgoyno.
This ling cheered tho revolutionists at
Valley Forgo tho next winter; It waved
at Vorktowu nnd shared In tho rejoic
ings at tho closo of tho war.
Some of tho llrst tings wcro mndo un
der dllllcultles nnd nt great cost, tho
greatest Ingenuity being required on
occasions to secure the necessary mate
rials for tho banners.
As long ns tho States remained thir
teen lu number tho original design of
tho circle of stars wns all right, but
when, In 1701, Vermont ami lu 1702,
The Flrat Flat? Made by lletay Itoat-
Adopted by Congress June 14, 1777,
The Flag na Altered In 17M, when Kentucky
and Vermont were Admitted,
Kentucky wero taken Into tho Union,
It was decided to urrntigo tho stars tu
tho form of ono huge eonstellatlou.
In 1705 It wns decided to ndd u strlpo
as well as a star for each State which
came Into the Union, consequently lu
that year Vermont and Kentucky wero
marked on tho ling, ono by a white and
the other by n ,red stripe; but some
wlso prophet, looking ahead somo
twenty or more yours, miw this plau of
adding a strlpo s well as n slur for
each State added to tho Union would
mean a constant changing of tho ting,
whrch would. In a few years, become so
large and uugnluly that Its beauty
would bo lost. A committee In 1812
was elected by Congress to decide upon
a permanent design for tho flag, and
tho result was that tho original thir
teen stripes were again used, tho stars
arranged on tho blue Held In tho form
of a square, with ono constellation for
each now State. In 1818 this plan was
formally adopted by Congress, and th

flag, with Its thirteen .stripes and stars
corresponding In number to tho States
lu tho Union, became tho established
emblem of-tho United States of Amer
ica. Although the United States is ono of
tho youngest nations of tho world, Its
flag Is one of tho oldest among tho pow
ers. Tho country's standard, with its
thirteen stars and stripes, which was
llrst unfurled Juno 14, 1777, has re
mained practically unchanged through
the progress nnd growth of tho coun
try of which It snw the birth. Tho
star-spangled banner which now floats
over Undo Sam's possessions on lands
nnd seas, Is unaltered, with the excep
tion of tho number and arrangement of
tho stars, from tho ono which Betsy
Ross, at aenerni Washington's request,
mado at her home, No. 230 Arch street,
Philadelphia.
On tho death of Qucon Elizabeth, In
1003, King James VI. of Scotland, as
cended tho throno of Englnnd, reign
ing as King James I., and In honor of
tho union of tho Scottish nnd English
Crowns ho placed tho whlto Cross of
St. Andrew on tho national flag, chang
ing tho Held from whlto to hluo. This
union of tho two crosses wns called tho i
"King's colors," or "Union" colors,
and tho first permanent settlement In '
what Is now tho United States wcro
mado under Its protection, and tho J
"King's colors" wero generally un-.
furled by euch new lody of explorers
who enmo from tho Mother Country of i
the New World, until, la 1707 tho
Americans adopted the red flag, but
added to It a device of their own In
place of the crosses.
Tho device of a rattlesnnko was pop
ular among the colonists, nnd Its origin
as an American emblem Is a curious
feature In the national history. It has
been stated that Its uso grow out of
a humorous suggestion mado by a wri
ter In Franklin's paper tho Pennsyl
vania Gazette that, In return for tho
ivrongs which tho British authorities of
tho tlmo wero forcing upon tho Amer
ican colonists, a cargo of rattlesnakes
should bo sent to tho Mother Country
nnd "distributed In St. James Park and
other places of pleasure."
Colonel Gadsden, ono of tho Marine
Committee, presented, to Congress on
tho 8th of February, 177(1, "an elegant
standard, such as Is to bo used by tho
commaiider-ln-chlcf of tho American
navy," being a yellow flag with
FUl used by the Colonist at Hunker Hill,
Juue 17th, 177S.
Pine Tret Flag, used on I'rlvateertmen dur
lot the IteTolutlon,
a representation of a rattlesnnko colled
for attnek.
Another use for tho rattlesnake was
upon a ground of thirteen horizontal
bars, alternate red nnd white, tho
sunko extending diagonally across tho
stripes, nnd tho lower whlto stripes
bearing tho motto: "Don't Tread on
Me." The snake was always repre
sented ns having thirteen rattles. Ono
of tho favorite flogs nlso was of whlto
with n plno tree lu the ceutre. The
words at tho top wero: "An Appeal to
Owl," ami underneath the snake wero
tho words: "Don't Tread on Me."
Several of the companies of minute
men adopted a similar flag, giving tho
naino of their coinpnny, with tho mot
to, "Liberty or Death."
Mussnchuetts clung to tho pine treo
ns her symbol for somo time. Trum
bull, in his celebrated picture of the
"Battlo of Bunker Hill," which now
hangs In tho rotunda of tho Capitol nt
Washington, represents tho red flag,
white corner and green pine tree.
Why Thoy 1'mIiI Their Dili.
At a debating society somo tlmo ngo
the Irish question wns discussed. An
English doctor was sustaining tho nrgu
ment that tho Irish wero naturally a
depraved and dishonest race. At Liv
erpool ho said he hud :!00 Irish patients
on his books, and of these only thirty
paid him for attendance. "Sorr," said
an Irishman who rose with . flushed
cheek to defend his countrymen "sorr,
there Is never an effect without a
cause. There la never a phenomenon
that does not admit of an explanation.
How can we explain the astounding
phenomenon to which tho doctor has
called our attention? Ho rinds an ex
planation In tho natural depravity of
Irish nature; I, sorr, lmvo another ex.
planatlon to offer, and It la this: The
thirty patients recovered!"
It la perhaps well to remind that
girl whose parents aro dolug all they
can to mako her happy, and who la
then dissatisfied, that some day her
happiest moment In life will bt wbea
tho baby U asleep.

HONESTY IN WALL STREET.
How J. I, Moruim Taiif-lit a teaaon to
Home bhrewd lirokers.
A few weeks ugo a Wall street Arm
was agent ,for a coterie of street rail
rond capitalists In Philadelphia. Tho
agents held about 00,000 shares of stock
for tho capitalists on margin shares
that the Phlladelphlans wcro under
moral obligations to control. Ono day
the agents sent word to the Philndcl
phlans that those shares must be taken
up nt once or they would be thrown
on tho market. Tho Now York men
knew that It would ho Impossible for
tho Pcunsylvnnintis to tako up those
stocks on such short notice. Anticipat
ing their failure to do so, the New York
agents had agreed to sell at n low price
fur more of the stock than they had
held. They expected tlint when the 00,
000 shares were cast upon the market
they would be nblo to buy at a still
lower price nil that was needed to All
their own contracts, and that a heavy
gain would be tnnde.
This wns a scheme that In other years
would have worked, nnd to tho serious
Injury of ninny more thnn those Imme
diately concerned. Kut a new power
had come Into Wall street. The Phil
adelphia men took a special train to
Now York nnd went to J. PIcrpont Mor
gan. They Informed littn of their pre
dicament. "Tell those fellows to send
that stock In to me," replied Mr. Mor
gan at once. Tho agents wero In de
spair. They wero forced to ask for tho
twenty-four hours allowed by the Stock
Exchange In such emergencies. Next
morning the agents said that by a nils
take lu bookkeeping It hud been thought
that securities wero In New York which
wero renlly In London, nnd they could
not bo delivered for n week or more.
Mcnnwhllo tho stock was largely
bought on tho Stock Exchange, the
tho prlco went up, nnd tho ngents were
forced to buy nt very high prices In
order to deliver tho 00,000 nnd other
shares they hnd n greed to deliver at
reduced prices. Tho ngents hnd ex
treme dlfllculty In retaining their scat
on tho exchange, nnd some very salu
tary ndvlco was administered before
tho Incident was closed. World's

Ono of my favorlto trolley rldca In
Denver hnd nn Its terminal a road lead
ing to a country village The latter
was perched nest-lko on the summit of
a lofty hill nud wns reached by a prim
itive horso car. "With many a weary
step and ninny a groan," a modern Sisy
phus disguised ns n horse enjoyed all
tho rapturo of a toboggan Into tho vil
lage. But once there, think of his re
ward! When tho tlmo enmo for tho
return of tho car ho was unfastened
from tho hnrness, walked quietly
round, boarded, tho renr plntform, nnd,
while his bend nud tall extended fun

Its own velocity, nnd the horse onjoyed
all tho rapturo of a toboggan slide,
which ho apparently appreciated to the
uttermost.
Chinese lovuinenta.
Many ancient documents have been
discovered In tho exploration of tho
Bund-covered towns of Chinese
Turkestan. They consist of writings
on wooden tablets, and are sealed and
tied when found, tho sand having pre
served them lu excellent condition.
Even the Ink with which they wero
written Is still black and easily read.
It Is believed that these documents will
throw much light on the llfo and cus

In this desert The script In which they
are written Is of a klud still known lns
India.
