Congress never legislated on the

Secretary Gideon Welles promulgate«!

regulations wery reaffirmed in IStkl,

President's flag was the blue field of
the Stars and Stripes, but in 1879, by
onler of the Secretary of the Navy,
the coat of arms of the United States
was placed on the flag, in white, with
the constellation al*ove in a single
curved line. A few years later the
colors of the design were changed to
brown and a crest was added, showing
the stars within a ring of clouds There
being no way of representing clouds
with bunting, the design was painted.

HOW THE DEAD AKE BURIED AT MANILA.
The Man.la cemetery consists of two eir. ulsr walls, about seven feet thick
pierevd with holes, iu which the coffins are phi cd. After a coffia has been de­
posited the hole is brickej up and fa cd with a memorial tablet. 1'hece gravea
are leased for live years, at the end of which time, uuli ss the lease is renewed,
the cuffisa are taken out and the bones thrown into a pile Just outside the wall.
The walls of the cemetery are constructed of earth and rubble faced with
stone, and the tropical rains soak through aud rot the eoffinv. Thia method of
burial dates back to the dais of the domination of the Spanish friars.
All aorta of designs are placed on the meiu rrial tablet winch seals the tomb
and sometimes after a lease expires and another body has been placed in the
grave the same tablet is replaced.
The women of Manila are ever faithful In their mourning for their dead
and fr«sh wreaths adorn the tombs of the departed ones constantly.
"The face is an Index to the mind."
