RED CROSS.

Address ON Work Throughout the
World by Hiss Boardman.
Odd Fellows hall was comfortably filed
last Thursday evening by an audience
which came to listen TO the story OF the
work Of the Red Cross society throughout
the world.
The address was by Miss Mabel T.
Boardman, OF Washington, d. c., MEM
Der OF the national executive committee.
Mayor Hagorthy had accepted an invita-
tion to preside, but owing to an unex-
pectod call from out OF town, was unable
to be present, and A. w. King introduced
the speaker.
Mr.. King preiaced his Introduction with
brief talk in which ne emphasized the
Importance OF the work OF the society,
and expressed the hope that Ellsworth
and Hancock county would do their part
in assisting 1t.
For nearly an hour Miss Boardman
spoke, and throughout held the closest
attention of the audience with an address
of the intensest interest. Following is
brief summary of what she said:
The work took its start from an occur
renee at the battle of Solferino, Italy, in
1859. A native of Switzerland, who was
on the field after the battle, helped some
peasants in assisting the wounded. He
realized what vast number of precious
lives were lost because of lack OF proper
care, and wrote an article on the subject
which was widely published and at
tracted much attention all over Europe
and in this country as well. 1t was be-
cause of the interest thus aroused that
Switzerland issued the call for a conven-
ton which was held in Geneva in 1854,
At this convention the Red Cross was
formed, and the insignia of the society, a
red cross on a white field, was adopted in
compliment to Switzerland, whose flag is
a white cross on red field.
Most of the larger countries signed the
Geneva convention, and from this begin
ming came the great movement that is
now exciting the admiration and wonder
of the world.
The society, which extends its benign
and Christian influence throughout the
civilized world, is now thoroughly organ
lied. There are $1,000 members in France,
3,oO0,OO0 in Germany, 100000 in Austria
and 10000 in Italy. In England the
society has been, lately recognized; the
queen is its chairman, and has issued
invitations TO a congress in June, 1907.
The speaker made some interesting
revelations concerning the Red Cross in
Russia. The American branch of the
society had repeatedly tried to discover il
the Russian Red Cross funds were prop
erly safe-guarded, but without success.
Finally, on the breaking out of the Russo
Japanese war it developed that several
million dollars supposed to be in the
organizations Sreasury didn't materialize
in other words, that even this benevo-
lent organization hadn't escaped the pre-
vailing corruption of the Russian empire.
However, the society, which in Russia is
powerful and well organized, accom-
plished excellent results, wiping out by
the bravery OF its nurses and devotion OF
its officials the financial stigma.
Japan has a marvellous organization,
Miss Boardman said. 1t contains 1885,
600 members, who pay dues of $50 per
year-a great deal of money in some parts

OF Japan. Even before the Russo-Jap-
anese var it contained 1910 members;
she paid a tribute to its work during the
war between Japan and China, when Chi
nese soldiers were given every attention,
even though japanese soldiers taken pris-
oners were habitually tortured by the
Chinese.
In the United States the Red Cross was
established in 1882. Despite the lapse OF
years since then, it contains but 100000
members which is not as good a show
ing as might be expected from so rich,
prosperous and generous nation. 1t is
conducted upon lines OF government
authority, government representation,
and government auditing of its financial
accounts. Therefore the public can
hardly help feeling confidence. It is or
ganized in every state, and the good which
it does is by no means appreciated by the
general public.
The dues OF the Red Cross in America
are so for life membership, or 81 year
for persons not life members. Beyond
this no financial obligations attach to
membership there are no assessments.
In case OF great calamity such for exam
pie, as the San Francisco earthquake), the
organization issues a general appeal and
all parts OF the country respond. In
minor calamity use is made of the emer-
gency fund.
At the close OF the address, Miss Board
man showed and explained series of
stereopticon views which she secured last
year when in the far East as a member of
Judge Tatt's governmental party. These
views illustrated the practical workin
OF the society on the battlefield and in
hospitals.
The stereopticon apparatus was kindly
loaned for the occasion by the Odd Fell
lows, and was manipulated by Harvard c.
Jordan and J. W. Nealley.
After the lecture an opportunity was
given those who so desired to enroll them
selves as members, and a goodly number
was added to the list that had been started
at the meeting the Saturday previous.
An earnest appeal is made TO all citizens
OF Hancock county to become members
for this, it should be remembered, is a
county organization. Mrs. A. p. Wisweli
is president of the Hancock county branch
and Mrs. Edward X. Hopkins, Ellsworth,
IS secretary and treasurer, to whom names
and the membership fee OF II may be sent.
Mrs. Eugene Hale is president OF the
Maine branch.

In the ~churchyard of the little Mid

A Horse. Hands aud Feet.

The horse never puts his heel on the
ground, nor even the ball Of his foot.
He stands up on the very tips of his
toes. and this is, in part. the reason
why he can trot so fast. Dobbin's heels
are half way up his hind legs, and what
we call his knees are really his wrists.
The part corresponding to the upper
arm is short and is SO embedded in the
muscles of the shoulder that the elbow
comes next the body, but the horse has
only one digit TO each limb, and the
wrist bones are comparatively small.
The so called ankle, then, lis the
knuckle, where the digit joins the hand
or the foot, and the foot is only a
single thick finger or toe, with a great
nail for a hoof. The lower half of the
horses foreleg is really a gigantic
hand, with only the middle finger and
a piece out of the middle of the palm,
while the corresponding part of his
hind leg is a big, single toed foot.-St.

there was 10 wanton destruction OF

though the Moros used them as shields
in the han6to-hand fighting. General
Wood declared that many Of the wo-
men wore male attire and their sex
could not be distinguished. Another
confusing was the desperation
with which the women fought, the
priests having worked all OF the Moros
to a religious frenzy. Many OF the
