SAFEGUARD RED CROSS EMBLEM
Geneva Convention Urges Its Sup
preston for Commercial Uses.

Geneva Convention Urges Its Sup
preston for Commercial Uses.
Antiseptic barber shops, pharmacies
and patent-medicine manufacturers
throughout the United States will be com
PEELED to cease using the red cross as a
trade mark, if the convention agreed upon
at the recent international Red Cross con-
ference in Geneva is lived up to in every
detail by this country. This convention
provides that each of the signatory coun-
tries shall do all in its power TO bring
about legislation preventing the use of the
Red Cross insignia for any sort of COM
mercial purpose.
1t was suggested at the convention that
such laws be put into effect within FIVE
years. When the reincorporation of the
National Red Cross was effected in 1908
the act passed by congress provided that
no person or corporation not lawfully en-
titled to use the sign of the Red Cross at
that time should thereafter be permitted
to use it for the purpose of trade or as
an advertisement of any article. ConSe-
Quently officers of the American Red Cross
say that the use of their insignia by per-
sons or corporations which were not au-
thorized to use it in 1905 is in direct
violation of the law. The punishment for
the offense, the act provides, is fine of
not less than 81 nor more than $500, or
imprisonment for not more than one year,
or both fine and Imprisonment. All lines
so collected are TO be paid TO the Ameri
can National Red Cross
AT the time of the reincorporation of
the American National Red Cross it was
not thought advisable TO attempt to en-
force a retroactive act which would in
terfere with the persons or corporations
then making use of the symbol of of the
organization for commercial purposes.
Nearly all other countries have carefully
safeguarded the insignia of the Red Cross
and tne United States is said to be the
chief offender in the miscellaneous use
of the emblem created for the special pur-
pose of protection in time of war to those
who are caring for the sick and wounded.

The Destiny of woman.

The first requirement in the ideal of
a woman is that she shall be a salts
| fed woman. and that she does not at
all wish to be anything bur a woman.
The creed of pessimism and despair is,
1T were better not to be. y yet l would
give no more for, II would greatly have
preferred to be something else!"
Woman should not be satisfied to
accept herself at this valuation, though
that, doubtless, is better than to revolt
against her fate; but she should APP
praise herself, feel the high dignity of
her position, recognize the advantages
of life under the special form in which
she receives it, and which, in nobility,
Is equal to that bestowed upon man. In
a word, woman should have the courage
and pride of her sex.
We often meet young ladies who
would like to be boys. In speaking
among themselves of certain others of
their set they say There is girl
who ought to have been q boy she is a
boy lost !" There is no harm in this,
inasmuch rs it is no more than a joke
and n fashion of speaking. 1t amounts
to saying that certain young girls have
aptitudes which ordinarily are charac-
teristic of young boys. But these have
never prevented a woman from being
truly and gracefully womanly.
What VIC wish to indicate and stig-
Matte here is silly scorn of that which
we already possess; refusal to put it
into operation, to employ it, and the
dangerous illusion which lies in think
ing that we should have done greater
work in this world if God had wished
to make us something other than that
which he has desired.-Pastor Wagner,
in Harpers Bazaar. F',sss 9sss"

Table MannaES,

Parents even in a humble cottage
home, should pay attention to the con-
duct and manners of their children at
meal times. They cannot tell what po-
sition they will fill in after life, and a
man or woman who is ignorant of the
most simple laws of table etiquette is
terribly handicapped Were the parents
to reprove the child who conveys its
food to its mouth with a knife, who
drinks its tea from the saucer, or who
sticks it's elbows out at right angles, the
lesson so taught would never be for
gotten. There is a certain amount of
freedom at the family table, where one
scarcely expects to find the ceremonious
department of set dinner party; but
even in the home there are minor rules
and observances which should always
be followed. The boy or girl on whose
mind they are impressed at an early
age will never lose them; and when,
after years of struggles it may be, the
manners that make the man" will be
their chief passport into the circle of
their new acquaintance

Do your saving at the beginning of
the week, vow who live upon allowances,
or, what is the same, so far as this
counts, upon a salary.
The extra expenses which often come
upon you unexpectedly in the latter
part of the week may be easily met If
you've been outstanding your resources
a little. instead of spending up to the
last cent.
A good plan is to allow yourself so
much for little expenses for a given
length of time, and then to keep with
in daily bounds, saving even a bit from
that, if possible. Then, if it is not
called upon by some little emergency,
either put it away or use it toward
some definite purpose, such as subscrib-
ing to good magazine, getting a good
book or seeing good play, all Of which
should be considered as mental invest
ments.

The Marriage Knot.

A good deal is heard of the marriage
knot but very few of us realize that
the knot was ever anything more than
figure OF speech. Among the Baby
lonians tying the knot was part of the
marriage ceremony, says Home Chat.
The priest took thread from the gar
ment of the bride and another from
that of the bridegroom and tied them
into knot, which he gave to the bride,
thus symbolizing the binding nature Of
the union which now existed between
herself and her husband.

The letter commenced:
''1 o the Lady Charlotte Singleton:
Madame" it ran, "for some time past
you have been laboring under a great mis-
take. A few years ago you lived in
little house close to Oxford. In this house
you kept safe containing some magnifi-
cent jevelry.- The secret of the safe was

statement that is put forward IN this let

young man of blameless character little
hot-headed, perhaps, with, in his Oxford
days, a perfectly natural tendency to be

Antonio, when she came to the end of
this letter, was trembling. The tears that
she had denied herself so long rushed from
her like some mighty food.
With a cry she sank on her knees be-
side Lady Charlotte and buried her face
on the older woman's knee; but it was
only for a very brief time that Antonio
gave way to the wildness of that Joy that
swept her through and through. She re-
membsred what this letter must signify to
this gentle, suffering woman. Indeed, when
she lifted her head after that one most
natural outburst of emotion, the girl had
a quick pang of self-reproach at her heart,
for, looking upon Lady Charlotte, she saw
that the strain had been too much and
that the invalid had tainted.

To Avoid Shrinkage.

There is absolutely nothing more pro-
voking or disheartening than for a
dainty liren frock that has cost time
and money to shrink badly the very
first time it is washed. The following
method is said to make linen unshrink-
able, and is certainly worth trying: Fill
the bath tub about one-third full with
clear cold water; then, without unfold
ing the linen, wrap it in g clean towel
and leave it in the tub over night. Take
it out in the morning and hang it up
without wringing out the water. 1t will
will be thoroughly shrunken and the
material need not be pressed until after
the garment is made.

Desirable Habits.

Be orderly. A disorderly, careless
woman will never have a comfortable
home.
Be punctual. Some girls and some
women, too, are never at the beginning
of anything; little late at breakfast, a
little late at church, a little late every
where.
Be cheerful. A bright, smiling face
makes every one happy and a sullen,
fretful expression is just as likely to
make others cross. Even when it rains
out of doors there might just as well
be sunshine within
