Clara Barton and the Red Cross.
1t was very pleasant the other day TO
meet Miss Clara Barton. the organizer in
America, and for so many years the pres
ident OF the Red Cross Society. whose
buoyant expression showed no ehagrin
over her removal some time since from the
directorship of the body which she had
created. It is not to be doubted that Miss
Barton's usefulness as the head of the Red
Cross Society had come 10 an end bur
when one remembers her iab0rs in this
country, her indefatigable energy. and her
devotion to the care and nursing OF the
soldiers in the civil war and in the Fran

decorations and the friendship Of the
crowned heads of Europe. her displacement

Literal TransIations.

The story Of Joseph taken literally
from the Bible was the reading lesson
for the day. A boy was reading the
paragraph describing Jacobs grief at the
report of his sons death, ending with
these words: And Jacob rent his clothes
and put upon sackcloth upon his loins.
What does rent mean?' asked the
teacher.
Rent" said the boy, means TO hire
out. so / guess he hired out his regular
clothes TO some one while he went in
mourning
Another boy read Of the entertainment
provided by Joseph for his brothers and
his command TO set on bread.
Il have been wondering what that
meant" said the boy who was reading
and I think, perhaps, Il was the custom

The late Thomas Bailey Aldrlch was not
