STARS AND STRIPES.
We Adopted Our Emblem Year
After Declaration of
Independence.

The Stars and Stripes, the en-
blem of American nationality, was
first officially decided upon as the
symbol of the new nation on June
IA, 1877, a year after the Declara-
ton of Independence. On that day
the American Congress resolved:
That the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; that the Union be
thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing new constellation"
Congress when selecting the flag
specified the size and proportion for
use as follows: The entire length to
be six feet six inches and the width
four feet four inches, the upper seven
of the thirteen stripes, four red and
three white, to bind the square of
blue field inclosing the stars; the
stripes to extend from the end of
the field to the end of the flag. The
next or eighth stripe to be white,
extending partly at the base of the
field. The other five stripes, three
red and two white, to run the entire
length of the flag" This proportion
Is still kept up in all sizes of correct
flags
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Benjamin
f. Tracy years ago, presenting flag
TO the students of the ST. Peters
Catholic school, Brooklyn, made the
following eloquent reference to its
origin and meaning: The flag of
our nation which you are to receive
was adopted by Congress on June IA,
1877, and soon after that flag was
lifted on high, as proclamation to
the world of the birth of new
nation and people. The history of
the origin or designer of that flag
is unknown; the man who suggested
or designed it we know nothing OF,
but we do know that on that day a
resolution was offered in Congress
adopting it, and that IL was passed
without debate or a word of dis
sension. That flag adopted so long
ago had thirteen stripes, symbolic
of the thirteen States of the Union
Its thirteen stars upon the field of
blue represents a new constellation
which was destined to shine with un-
equalled brightness upon the other
nations of the earth. The white of
its bars represents the truth and
purity for which it stood, and the
red between was symbolic of courage
in the determination to no longer
submit to kingly foreign rule"

IRISH BOGS.
They Seem to Be Conducive OF
Longevity Among the
Peasants.

1t is curious that it is in the bog
land districts of Ireland that the
greatest number of pensioners are
to be found. Boys are said to be
antiseptic in their nature, and I'M
doubtedly they possess great pre-
servative qualities. Where bodies
have laid in them for years, or old
coins or weapons, they are usually
in an excellent state of preservation
when again brought to light. 1t is
where the boys are most pervading
that the most old people are to be
found, says the Roscommon Herald.
Castlerea district, for instance, is
famous for its boys; the smell of
turf seems to be everywhere and it is
there that the most pensioners have
qualified under the new act. The
list already passed totals up to
$500.
Then in the Gurteen district there
is another great wild strip of moor
land and there, too, old age pen
sioners abound. In one famous case
i'm that locality there are five pen
sioners in one house-two brothers,
two sisters and a wife. They will
have 1925 year coming in to them
under the new act. On piece of re-
claimed bog they have passed their
calm and uneventful lives, and now
this great boon drops in to them,
and their old days viii close in com
fort and in prosperity that they
never knew before. These bog lands
are now proved to nave prolonged
the lives of so many people that
perhaps the time may come when
distinguished persons will resort to
these places for their health-giving
properties, as they do spas and con-
tinental cures. At any rate, it is a
significant fact that while in the
rich and prosperous parts the old
people entitled to these pensions are
few and far between, the greatest
longevity is to be found in the DOGGY
districts, where men and women
have led hard lives, and were en-
gagged in retaining land and in a
constant struggle with the forces of
nature.
