The Crasaders added the | cross to their banners, The union of the three | crosses of St. George, St. Andrew, and St. Patrick marks, first, the union of England and Scotland | into the kingdom of Great Britain, and then this kingdom with Ireland, This 1s termed the great union flag of Great Britain, and was brought by the colonists to America, “JOIN OR DIR.” When the thirteen colonies began to feel the tron | pressure of British tyranny and despotic rule, they placed upon their banners a rattlesnake, cut in thirteen pieces, representing the thirteen orig!- nal colonies, with the motto, “Join or die.” Whea | these colonies became more’ united in thelr pur- | Poses of resistance to British enslavement, they | placed upon their flag a well-formed rattlesnake, | In the attitude of about to strike, with the motto, | “Dou’t tread on me.” ‘THE ENBLEMATIC RATTLESNAKE.

Its proportions are perfect | When properly made,the first ard last stripe being Ted, with alternate stripes of white. The blue. eld for the starsis the square of the width of seven stripes. On the 14th of June, 1777, the Con- Uinental Congress resolved, “That the ‘flag of the United States be thirteed stripes, alternate rea and white, and that the Union be ‘thirteen white stars on a blue fleld representing a new constelia- Uon,” Previous to this,however,our national banner was the Union flag, combining the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew. ‘Tho Stars and Stripes Were unfurled for the first time at the battle of Saratoga on the occasion of the surrender of Gen. Burgoyne. WHAT THEY SYMBOLIZED. ‘The stars of the flag represent the tdea taken from the constellation Lyra, which signifies har- mony, The blue of the fleld was taken from tho Danner of the Covenanters of Scotland, likewise significant of the league and covenant of the United Colonies against oppression, and incident- ly Involving Vigilance, perseverance and justice, ‘The stars were disposed in a circie, symbolizing the perpetuity of the Unton, the circle being the sign of eternity. Both the tuifteen stripes and the stars showed the number of toe United Colonies, and denoted the subordination of the states to, and their dependence upon, the Union, a3 weil as equality among tuemseives. ‘The whole Was a blending of the previous banners, namely, the red flag of the Army and the white due of the Navy. The red color, which, in the days of Roman glory, was the signal of detiunce, denoted daring, and the White purity. FIRST ALTERATION. On the 13th of January, 1794, by an act of Con- gress, the flag was altered to fifteen red and white stripes, and Mfteen stars. On the 4th of April, 1818, Congress again altered the flag by returning Wee original tuirtee stripes and fiteen stars as the adding of a new stripe for each additional state Would Make the flag too unwieldy. The hew star is added to the flagon the 4th of July following the admission of each state into the Value of a College Education. ‘TT AFPORDS DESIRABLE ACQUAINTANCE, RUT SWELLS ‘TRE COST OF A TRIP FROM BU: fn. ‘From the New York Sun.

HOW THEY HAVE FIGURED IN MYTHOLOG? AND IN PAGAN SYSTEMS. From the London Queen, It ts a well-known fact that eggs have figured in mythology, and have or have had a symboitcal meaning in certain Pagan systems, But it 1s quite true that there 1s no traceable connection between them and the eggs which are the subject Of this note; mere resemblances not being enough to prove identity of origin. As for Easter the'date of thelr introduction ts ‘unknown, but ths egg as a symbol of hope was recognized by St. Au- gustine, and probably at a still earlier date. For ur present purpose it Will sufllce to note its asso- elation with sacred seasons. 1, To this day Jews at the Passover introduce an. egg as a symbol of their bondage in Egypt and wonderful deutverance. 2. In the Church there was a festival of eggs on the Saturday before the Shrove Tuesday, but the meaning of thts 1s doubtful, though perhaps it can be explained. 3. ‘The Paschal or Easter egg was blessed by the priests, and at the termination of the Lenten feast Was, and perhaps in some places still is, desired a3. the first food eaten after the conclusion of Lent. ‘The second and third instances seem to indicate that eggs were regarded as proper for the transi- ton from ordinary food before Lent to its resump- on after Lent. ‘It may, however, be stated tnat the Paschal egg was certainly regarded as a resur- rection symbol, especially in anticipation of the Tesurrection of the Saviour. This last point seems evident from the form of biessing employed in the oman Catholic Cuureh, where the words “on ac- ‘count of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ” are to be seen. ‘The statement of a learned German writer with this, for he says: “The egg as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus, who broke forth from the grave as a chicken from the shell, has been from Very ancient date an Easter gift with Christians, who Wish each other prosperity at the resurrec- Uon of the Saviour.” The practice of dyeing Easter eggs is of uncertain origin; but it 13. very widely extended, and has been thought to be derived from the Jews, whose Passover occurs at the same time as our Easter. ~——_6@e A Plea For Columbus, DISCOVERY OF AMERICA WAS THE ONE THAT DISCOVERED. From the St. Paul Globe. * Ifever a poor fellow had hard work towin his laurels, and still harder work to hold on to them, it was Christopher Columbus. It 1s perhaps one of the penalties of true greatness to be looked upon as the prey of literary scalpers. ‘The lamented William Shakespeare has had an experience of that kind, second only tw the experience that the fame of Christopher Columbus has been subjected to. As time passed on, it was thought that the reputations of both Columbus and Shakespeare Union.

And not only is tte ctroulsuon, the largest and fullest, Dut 1 1s also the must, since ‘the paper goes not alone into the hands of the People of the District of Columbia as body, but into their homes,—into the families of all classes, ‘And into those of the money-spending as well as ‘the money-earning portion of the community,—in larger ratio than any daily journal of genera cireulation that can be named. By reason of the fullness, freshness, and reliability of its news, local, domestic, and foreign, tts independent and fair treatment of all public questions, tts intelll- Tent and effective devotion to local interests, and its close attention to matters witn which the household, and especially its Indy members, aru concerned, THE Stax is everywhere recognized and admitted to be, in every quality, the leading And favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike in the counting-room, the work-shop, and the family circle, In support of these statements attention is tm Vited to the tables below, They not only show the circulation and advertising patronage of the paper for the several years named, but, by the remarka- bie increase shown in both departments in each month over the corresponding month in the pre- vious year, they also illustrate, in the most for- cible manner possible, the esteem in which the Paper ts held in the city of its home, and by thoss ‘Who are best able to Judge of its merits as a news- Paper and {ts value as an advertising medium, Theso are tho Mgures referred 40, with which ‘comparison Is challenged: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-"86-"87. 1583. 1886, Janvary Fesrvany.. aA S12s City and County of Washington, District of Cm tumbia, «8: I solemuly swear that the figures in the above two comparative statements are true and correct tm every particular.

Keuy, ‘Notary Public. ‘OF the total circulation given above, the booksot the establishment show that an average of 17,023 copies were regularly delivered each day by car- Tera at the homes ot permanent subsoribers with1a the city. Of the remainder a daily average of 6,421 copies were sold at the office, in the hotels and railway stations, &c., and on the streets, by newsboys, making a grand total average within ‘the city of 24,046 copies dally, and leaving an average of 1,438 coples to be sent to regular sub scribers beyond the District lines by mail, express, and raliway trains, In addition to the large and constantly increas. ing fixed subscription list above referred to, tt may ‘be sald that of the 6,421 copies sold within its lim {tsa larger proportion are bought by permanent residents of the city, living in lodgings, &c., not householders, while the residue goes into the hands of transient visitors, from all parts of the country, ‘Whoeach year come to the National Capital in greater numbers and for longer periods, and who, furthermore, largely represent the well-to-do and purchasing portions of the communities to which they respectively belong. The last-named 1s a class of readers alone well worth reaching; but tt 1 to the phenomenally large permanent cirouls- ‘tion of the paper, and especially to Its unparalleled hold upon the household and family circle, that the attention of advertisers is particularly ai- rected. A comparison of Ube foregoing figures with those Tepresenting the entire population of the District of Columbia will show that Tux Sram circulates ‘within its limite something more than one copy for about every eighth inhabitant, of whatever Face, creed, age, or station in life; and, realizing the extent to which its columns are scanned by ‘the several members of the families into which 1t goes, it 1s not extravagance to claim that the Paper is read every day by fully two-thirds of the © the District who are able to read! ‘Can this record be matched by that of any news Paper in the world? Intelligent advertisers will readily understand ‘the facts and figures given above, and the value ot ‘a ctreulation of such extent and character, with- ‘out amplification or comment. ‘In conclusion, t only remains to be said that the wubscription lista, the books of the office, and its press and delivery rooms are at all Limes open to ‘The Oortifiones eof am Expert. ‘From the Washington Pest, January 8th, 1886.
