HAS GOOD IDEA FOR DIARY

Man Finds Loose Leaf Eliminates Per - sonal Historian’s Worry and Is - ... Sure Chronicler. - ,Arthur Bjinks has at last found a satisfactory way of keeping a diary. More than once he had started off the new year with a nice fresh volume, determined to let not a single day go by without making some entry. And more than once March, April or May have found the diary abandoned and forgotten. Now Arthur is getting along fine with what he calls his “occasional diary,” the New York Sun and Globe states, | - : ; He explains: _ ; ~ “I found that what caused me to lose interest in other diaries was the feellng that however -boring a day I might have put in, I felt compelled to make some sort of entry. No more do I use a dated printed diary. Instead I have a loose-leaf notebook. I write at the top of the page the date of any day which has seen events worth recording and make a note of them. There may be no entries between May 1 and 12 and June 8 on page 13. But that will be because nothing of interest or at least, worthy of note, has transpired between those dates.. g “Thus T have a record of keen interest to myself that is not cluttered up with a lot of boring, ‘ uninteresting memoranda just because the space was there and had to be filled each night.”

CIVIL ‘WAR (GAVE RED CROSS

How Fredericksburg Inspired Clara . Barton With Idea for the Famous Organization. The Civil war had scarcely started when Clara Barton voluntarily abandoned her business of teaching school in a New Jersey town and enlisted as a nurse in the hospital of the Union army. From the outset she insisted upon doing duty at the front. She was especially interested in .one of the regiments from New Jersey, and before the men in that command went into action she ministered to them in" a way that won their gratitude. An incident which she never forgot occurred after the battle of Fredericksburg, say-the.records. Miss Barton received word that she was wanted at the Lincoln hospital. This is her own simple story of what occurred there: “As. I entered the ward 70 men saluted me, standing such as could, others rising feebly in their beds. ‘Every man had left his blood upon the battlefield of Fredericksburg. My hand dressed every wound—many of them in the first terrible moments of agongL oo e o ; That incident is said to have been the origin of the Red Qross, which was organized in 1882, and with which the name of Clara Barton is inseparably linked. She was the founderof the Red Cross and its first president, Ly ; ;

‘ ' Beecher a Hortlculturist. Henry Ward Beecher, the celebrated American clergyman and orator, at one time had ‘considerable fame as an authority on matters bearing on that subject in the pioneer days of western horticulture. He was: editor of the Western Farmer and Gardener, and a selection of his contributions were printed in 1859 as a book of nearly 450 pages, entitled “Plain and Pleasant Talk About Fruits, Flowers and Farming.” A second edition was published in 1874—a book of nearly 500 pages, containing also articles written for the New York Ledger. : - These papers have a higher literary value than .is wusual in horticultural writings, -and are still entertaining and suggestive, says the Detroit News. They are said to have done much to spread the taste for country life and gardening, . : ~ Grape Juice Stayed Typhoidfg - The grape is the oldest fruit khown to history. It flourished on the hillside of Galilee, and in lands antedating Judea it was cultivated. No ‘man knows its first beginnings. The theory of Doctor Mayo is that the skin-clad. “doctor” of antiquity conceived: the happy notion that the juice of’ the grape, squeezed out into a rude vessel, might make a satisfactory substitute for polluted water. No sooner thought than done. Grape juice was imbibed; instead of aqua impura. Presto! the ravages of typhold were stayed. Grape julce had won its championship: as the first substitute for impure water.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. - Ly

Billy’s Little Hint,

Billy had a new suit, and the most wonderful thing about it was that there were pockets in the: trousers: something he had never had before. He came running to show me how attractive they were. After showing them to me, he said, “’N they'll hold anything. - They haven’t anything in them now, but they’ll hold pennies, nickels; dimes, or anything.” Needless to say that I saw to it that he had something in the pockets.—Chicago Tﬂbgne. fiinen Substitute for Cork. ; Notwithstanding all the achievements in practical science there are: some indispensableé materials, the making of which is still nature’s secret and for which no entirely successful substitute has been found. Among these substances is cork. It 18 possible, however, that nature herself, in this case, offers us a substitute in the wood of a tree growing on the east coast of Lake Tchad, in Africa, which is of even less Specific gravity than cork, . .
