so dear to every American, is
older than the present flags of
* >reai nnitiin, x lautc, vjci umui, i
Portugal, Ila'y and Japan, as well,
as of the South -American states.1
On Juno 14, 1777, the continental
congress adopted this resells
lion:
' Resolved, That (he flag: of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white;1
that the union be thirteen stars'
( while) on a blue field, represent j
iog the new constellation.*'
Tradition says that (ieneral
Washington, who had been appointed
a member of a committee
to consider the subject of a general
standard for tiie troops, gave
to a 31 rs. John Ross (better known
ms Retsv Ross), in Philadelphia,
n rough sketch of the proposed
design. With a perce ption ktei! j

cilia Molines", Betsy lloss assembled
the twenty-seven scraps of
red, white and blue that brought;
into existence the banner, which
congress hailed as the rightful
one, thus ending the confusion
over the subject of a national
fl tg. Conceived by greai minds
of men, hot brought to maturity
by the patience of woman, may it
ever remain an emblem of peace
and purity !
immediately alter its adoption
the ensign was hoisted in Philadelphia
and the design was copied
?MV where.
( At that tine the stars were arranged
in a circle to symbolize the
perpetuity of the union. In 171H,
after Vermont and Kentucky were
admitted to the union, an act w.u
passed which provided 'that the
number of stars be increased loj
fifteen. lu 1818, it was ordered
that on the admission of each new
stale one star should be added to
the number, the addition to be
made on tbeiourlh day of July
succeeding its admission.
At present our national emblem
displays a sp'endid galaxy ol forty-!

The patriotic INIiss Josephine
Mulford, of Madison, X. .J., inspired
by the American spirit of monopolizing
I lie "big things'' of the
earth, made, during the SpanishAmerican
war, the largest flag in
the world, 300 by (J5 feet, on
which she embroidered forty-eight
stacts, (three feet in diameter)
each with the arms of the State it
represents and the date of its admission
to the union.
The unfurling of our national
flag is a natural expression of
patriotism.
Floating Irom lite dome oi the
national capital, it signities that
congress is in session; and it has
the same igmficance when dying
from the State capitols.
In early days, during the "boyage"
of Uncle Sam's flag, its significance
was that of Paul Jones'
rattlesnake flag, "Don't tread on
me," or flaunted before an armada
it repeated the words of Laurence,
' Don't gi'ie up the ship." Put in
later yea.is when expansion is the
popular theme, the stripes seem
to lengthen into parallels ami
meriiians begirding; the entire
globe, s? that it may truly be
said that tlie sun never sets upon
the domain represented by the
"Star Spangled Manner."
