The Stars and SfrinpS-

The first true Union flag was hoisted
over the American camp at Boston
January 2, l776. 1t was composel of
thirteen stripes, with the British
"unlon" IN one corner. In May or June.
| l'17, committee that had been an
pointed by the Continental Congress-
called at the house of Mrs. Ross in
Arch street, Philadelphia. with a DESIGN
for tiag-thirteen red and white
stripes, alternately with thirteen six
pointed stars-and requested her 70
make the flag. She suggested that tho
stars would be more symmetrical if
made with five points. and folded a
sheet of paper and produced the pattern
by single cut. This was approved.
and she finished the flag the next dav.
Mrs Koss was given the position OF
manufacturer of flags for the Govern
ment, which descended to her children.
In 1894 Congress ordered that the hao
should consist of fifteen stripes, alter
nate red and white, and fifteen stars.
white on blue field. There was then
fifteen States. The stars and stripes
were equal, and stripe and a star were
added with the advent of each new
State. In 1918, as the States increased |
and the flag threatened to become too |
large, the stripes were reduced to |
hirteen, representing the original
Union, and the stars were made equal

SELF-MADE MEN.

It This country has furnished num-
erous examples of what are called
selfmade men, in all the professions
and all the walks of life, that is men
who rise to eminence by their indom-
liable energy and by their own ef-
forts Perhaps the most remarkable
of these now figuring upon the pub
lie stage is Senator Kenna, Of West
Virginia, the youngest member OF
the Senate, but thirty eight years OF
age. He was a farmers son. At
the age of fourteen he took a musk
ct, entered the Confederate army
and served calamity till he was
mustered out at the surrender. He
then went back. to-the farm, but
found time to study, read law and
passed the bar. His industry, his
ability and his high character were
recognized and he rapidly rose from
one position to another, until he
reached the United States Senate
in less than twenty years after he
laid down his musket to return to
the pillow, a poor boy with little ed
ucation and no influential friends to
aid him, hewing his own way, I'M
aided, in the face of obstacles that
would have deferred others of less
resolute mould. He is to-day looked
upon as one of the ablest and most
brilliant men in the Senate, eloquent
in speech and, though young in years,
wise in council. #

your peach trees and guard them
against the ravages of their worst
enemy-the bore-worm. The best
and simplest preventive, is wood
ashes. Rake away the earth care
fully from the trunk, until the top
roots are exposed. Put a quart to
half a gallon wood ashes immedi-
ately around the base of the tree;
then rake the earth back covering
the ashes entirely. The ashes are
not only good for this purpose, but
are a splendid fertilizer for the
trees. If limbs have been broken
or killed by the frosts and %sleets,
trim them away carefully. Do
not plough deep enough to tear
and break the roots.

"A correspondent asks of us the
cheapest way to clear land of stumps.
We do not know the cheapest. There
are a number of methods suggested,
such as blowing up with powder,
boring holes in the stumps, filing
with salt peter, ETC., and there are
also a number of machines for pull
ing them out, some cheap ones.
Some OF our readers, perhaps, can
turn some light on this subject by
giving us their experience. We would
be glad to hear from them.
