OFFICIAL MARK
The founders of our govt-nment did
nothing without careful deliberation.
»nd we are told that the adoption of n
seal for the United States was as care
fully considered as the framing of the
Declaration of Independence. It was
adopted during tho period of the Con
federacy, several .rears before thendop
tlon of the constitution, but not till
after several years' deliberation.
On the 4th of Jul.v. 177(5, after the
Declaration of Independence had beeu
finally acted upon, John Hifncock, pres
Ident of the congress, appointed Benja
tnin Franklin. Johu Adams and Thorn
as Jefferson a comir.it.ec "to prepare a
device for the grc:;t seal of the United
States of America." A seal was not
needed for ornament or show, but to
certify the official commissions soon to
be issued by the United Stares. The
committee took up the matler at once.
Each of the members'of the commit
tee had scrno Ideas of his own, and
they called In an artist of Philadelphia
to help them formulate a design. This
artist was Pierre Simltlerrl. a patriotic
Swiss, who was doing some excellent
portrait painting In the then capital
city of the country.
The Swiss drew a design, which was
discussed by the committee, after
which each member suggested addl
tlons or changes, which were Incorpo
rated by Jefferson In a report made to
congress on Aug. 10. 1776. This report
was In heraldic language, describing
the shield, crest, dexter, legend, etc.
The following is an extract of this re
port:
* 1 «««
hare the arms of the United States of
America, which arms should be as fol
lows: The shield has six quarters—the
first nn enameled rose, for England:
the second a thistle proper, for Scot
land: the third a harp, for Ireland:
the fourth a tleur-de-lls, for France;
the fifth the Imperial eagle, for Ger
many; the sixth tho crowned Hon, for
Holland—pointing out the countries
from which the colonies have been
peopled."
After describing other details, as the
Goddess of Liberty, the Initial letters
of the colonies, etc., the report said,
"Crest, the eye of Providence in a
radiant triangle, whose glory extends
over the shield and beyond.the fig
ures; motto, 'E Fluribus Unum.' "
For some reason or other congress
referred this device back to the com
mittee for further report Franklin
had proposed for a motto "Rebellion to
Tyrants Is Obedience to God." Adams
proposed Hercules leaning on a club,
while all the virtues and nearly all the
vices grouped about him in different
attitudes. Tils design would have been
a monstrosity and laughingstock. Jef
ferson's composite design simplified
matters, and it was he who suggested
the motto "E Fluribus Unum."
This was In August, 177G. The war
soon absorbed the attention and noth
ing further was done about the seal
until March, 1770, when a committee
of three was appointed to consider and
report on the subject This committee
reported In favor of a shield with thir
teen diagonal stripes, alternately red
and white, a constellation of thirteen
stars, a figure of Liberty and the motto
"Hello vel Face Furatus" ("Ready for
war or for peace").
This report also was recommitted,
and it was nearly a year before the
matter came up again Not to follow
through repeated discussions and re
jections of several designs, the present
seal was not adopted till June 20, 1782.
It was the work of a young Ameri
can artist William Barton by name,
who followed in many respects the de
sign submitted by Jefferson six years
before, but simplified it He retained
the eagle, a bundle of arrows in one
talon and an olive branch in the other:
the helmet with six bars or quarter
Ings, signifying the six nationalities
from which the country had been main
ly peopled, and the motto "E Fluribus
Unum," which survived all the discus
a us us.
The designer said, "The motto al
ludes to the Union." He added in his
explanation, "The escutcheon is borne
on the breast of the American eagle,
without any other support, to denote
that the United States of America
ought to rely on their own virtues."
The different executive departments
of the government have each their own
seal, but every commission signed by
the president is stamped with the great
seal of the United States, which Is kept
In the state department.—Washington

PRETTY LIVELY
It was on Feb. 11, the day the elec
toral votes were counted, that Jackson
arrived in Washington and took up bU
residence at Gadsby's.an inn famous
in stage coaching days. He declined
to call upon President Adams, Imply
ing that he could not bring himself to
touch the hand of a map. who had. at
tained office through unworthy means.
He busied himself with the office seek
ers, who rushed to Washington in in
credible numbers, likewise avoiding
Adams to flock around the power that
was to be. Adams, resenting this
breach of etiquette, took no official or
social notice of his successor and left
the city on the 3d of March, neither
ho nor any member of his cabinet re
maining to welcome Jackson to office.
On the morning of March 4 those
fortunate to secure a commanding po
sition on Capitol hill looked down upon
Pennsylvania avenue alive with carts
and carriages full of women and chil
dren, their male escorts walking be
side them. At last a small company
of men was seen marching compactly
through this crowd up the middle of
the avenue, one tall figure holding his
hat, while the wind played through his
willful gray locks. There was some
thing military In the sight, something
most uumllltary in the rabble of peo
ple shouting themselves hoarse in ac
claim of the spare, erect figure. It
was an expression of popular will and
popular trust that gripped the heart
and sent an ache to the throats even of
those who feared the "Tennessee bar
barian" and his host
After taking the onth of office Jack
son returned to the White House on
horseback, followed Indiscriminately
by white and black, rich and poor,
men, women and children, who swarm
ed over the lawn and through the
rooms of the executive mansion, where
no police provision bad been made for
such an onslaught The courageous
old warrior was forced that day to do
what he seldom did. He retreated
and sought refuge in his old quarters
at Gadsby's. Current rumor had it
that a quantity of china and cut glass
to the value of several thousand dol
lars was broken in an attempt to get
refreshments to the multitude, and
finally great tubs of punch were car
ried out in front of the house, but that
"hogsheads would not have been
enough."—Helen Xicolay in Century.
BOILING WATER.
It la Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May Be Barely Heated.
If you 6cnld yourself with the tea
kettle you are apt to think that boiling
wnter Is a pretty hot proposition. But
boiling water Is not always very hot
water, and this is the way It happens.
When water boils ordinarily It Is be
cause great heat has separated the tiny
particles of the water, forcing upward
and outward in lively bubbles the air
which Is contained In them. This Is
done In spite of the downward pres
sure of the atmosphere. After the wa
ter has become hot enough to boll it
can get no hotter, because the air es
capes as fast as It is sufficiently heated
to do so.
There are places on the earth where
the pressure of the atmosphere upon
the water is so slight that It requires
but little heat to push apart the par
ticles and set free the air bubbles
which are confined In the water, so it
begins to boll before It becomes very
hot It ought hardly to be called cold
water, perhaps, but It Is certainly far
from being as hot as ordinarily boil
ing water. This state of thlngB is
found on all high mountain tops, as the
atmosphere prows weaker and its pres
sure less ns one ascends.
A man traveling at a great elevation
in the Andes mountains put some po
tatoes in a pot of water over a hot Are
The water began to bol! almost Im
mediately. but the potatoes did not
cook. All the afternoon and all the
night the water bubbled and boiled, but
still the potatoes were not cooked. The
boiling water was not hot euough.
"That did me more good than any
thing that has happened In a long
time."
"What did?"
"The Green's new ear broke down
right in front of our house, and I had
the pleasure of sitting in our front
window and watching Green and his
whole family work for an hoar trying
to get It started again."—Detroit Fre«
