tion of two stripes to the body and two
stars to the union. The figure made by
the stars was changed from circle to a
rectangle composed of three parallel lines
Of five stars. Three years later revenue
standard was devised. This consisted of
a body Of sixteen vertical stripes of alter
nate red and white, beginning with the
red next to the staff, and a union made up
OF blue eagle against a white field, thir-
teen stars being ranged in two lines above
the eagle. The number of states in the
Union at the time this standard was de-
viSed was sixteen.
In 1918 congress reduced the number of
stripes In the national flag to thirteen and
made the number of stars in the union
twenty, that being the number of states
in that year, and enacted that a new star
should be added for each new state taken
into the union, the star to be added on
the next Fourth of July after the admis-
sion of the state. Twenty-four states
have been admitted since the act was
passed, but the star for one Of them,
Wyoming, has not yet been inserted, as
that state was admitted July II, or seven
days later than the latest Fourth of July.

shipwreck to report. As it was, its

1t is very interesting to know the
name Of the man who first saw the land.
He claimed the prize, too, and let us hope,
got 1.-THE prize of money from the king
and queen of Spain for him who should
first spy land. Poor Martin Alonzo, who
could have sworn he saw it days before,
who fired his canon and received Chris
Iopher Columbus blessing, must have
been good deal annoyed; it was he who
afterward deserted his admiral and sailed
off In the Pinta to obtain more gold. 1t
seems no doubt hackneyed and high
flown to go into transports now
over so ancient mariner as Chris
TOPPER Columbus, and yet | believe
that the accurate information most
Of us possess of the whole thing is limited
to one or two facts, such as the number
and names of the boats, the detection of
the Pinta, the mistakes in regard To
the locality discovered, ETC.; whereas,
circumstantial and detailed
account, given in the manner of
a novelist rather than that of a
historian, turns ones eyes into an abyss
of profound ignorance with regard to the
whole subject, of which he had absolutely
no idea.
Four hundred years is long time and
Columbus has been dead a good while,
but his works yet follow him and his fame
is sempiternal. MARY ABBOTT.
