Evolution of Our Flag. Although the United States is one of the youngest nations of the world, its flag is one of the oldest among the powers. The countrys standard, with its thirteen stars and stripes, which was first unfurled June 14, 1777, Just 125 years ago, has remained practically unchanged through the progress and growth of the country of d which it saw the birth. The banner which now floats over Uncle Sams possessions on lands and seas, is unaltered, with the exception of the number and arrangement of the stars, from the one which Betsy Ross, at Gen. Washingtons request, made at her home. No. 289 Arch street, Philadelphia. The device of a rattlesnake was There are many traditions afloat concerning the origin of this design, but the one in which there is undoubtedly the most truth is that which credits the idea of the design to Washington. The General found In the s of his own family a hint from which he drew a design for s the flag. The of the Washington family was two red bars on a white ground, and three gilt stars above the top bar. The American flag, once decided upon, was rushed through in a hurry, for the army was in need of a standard. Betsy Ross enthusiastically undertook the work, and in a few days a beautiful banner waa ready to be unfurled. She had made one alteration in the design submitted by Washington. The General had made his stars six pointed, as they were on his Betsy Ross made her stars with five points and five points have been used ever since. For several years Mrs. Ross made the flags for the government The first using of the stars snd tripes in military service, it is reclaimed, was at Fort Stanwix, named Fort Schuyler, now Rome, New Tork, 1777. Aug. 3 of that year the fort was besieged by the British snd Indians; the garrison was without a flag, but one was made in the fort The red stripes were of a petticoat furnished by a woman, the white for tripes and stars were furnished by an officer, who gave his shirt for the purpose, and the blue was a piece of coat-of-arm- coat-of-arm- star-spangle- d coat-of-arm- First Flag Hartman, the Famous GynaecoloOfgist and Inventor of Or, Pe-ru-- na fers to Treat Women Free During the Summer Months. is the land America of nervous women.

The next record of the using of the Start and Stripes is on the first anniversary of American independence, which was celebrated at Philadelphia, Charleston, S. C., and other places, July 4, 1777. The banner was used at the battle of the Brandywine Sept 11, 1777; at Germantown, Oct. 4 of the same year, and it also floated over the surrender of Burgoyne.
