GLOR|OSO
AN|YERSAR|0,
Henry Dunaut cele-
bra 80 de su nata-
licio.
Este bienhechor de la hu-
nanidad fue ell fundador
de la Cruz RoJa.
Su espiritu SO sintio conmoyido
profundamente ante ell campo
de batalla de SOlferin0.

FL 8 de mayo ceiebro su 500 ami
vesario Mr.. Henri Dunant, anciano
de cuya existencia casi no Sc acorda
ba nadie va, q pesar de que a la inicia
tiva suya la humanidad debe ell Con
venio de Ginebra y la asociacion de
la Cruz Roja.
En- los caiidos dias de JUNO del a
no 1859, un viajero suizo lego a las
cercanfas de Soiferino, donde acaba
ba de librase una mortifera batalla
entire austriacos E itaIianos. AL yer ell
sinnumero de heridos y moribundos
que en- parte yacian aGn en- el campo
de bataiia, oivido ell hombre los pia-
nes que lie habfan traido Italia y Sc
dedico con a hinco a recoger los heri-
dos y a acomodarlos en- las casas Gu
yos duenos Sc prestaban a semejante
acto de carload. Todo SUI ser Sc halo
compenetrado de repente del irresis-
tible afan de lievar socorro y consue
10 4 las desgraciadas victimas de la
guerra. Y en- SUI espiritu Sc hizo fuerte
la idea Gle que este socorro no habla
de ser so,amente momentaneo, slno
que habia de organizarlo de modo q.
para siempre mitigara los horrores
de la guerra. Vuelto Suiza al cabo
de muchos meses, describe con COLO
res vivfsimos 10 que habfa visto en-
los campos de batalla de Solferino,
y dirigiendose a los monarcas y q los
puebios, suplic6 a unos y otros de
unirse cuando menos en- el unico prrn
cipio de preservar a los heridos de los
rigores del derecho de la guerra, de
declararlos invioiables y de imponer
los cuidados y la asistencia medica
para amigos y enemigos.
. Despues de cuatro amos de incan-
sable actividad, vic Henri Dunant
compensados sus trabajos: las poten
cias firmaron el convenio de Ginebra
en- el aho 1864. Pero no lie bastaba d
este gran filantropo la union Official
de los estados ;anheiaba organizar ell
socorro voluntario en- case de gue-
ira, y en- efecto, logro instituir la
association de la Cruz Roja, que
en- un tempo relativamente cortfsi-
mo Sc ha extendido por ell mundo
enterO.
Sin embargo, POGO falt6 para que
este apostol de una obra tan altamen
tie humanitaria, quedase relegado al
olvldo y a la miseria. Enfermo, sin
amigos y sin recursos, Sc retro a la
villa de Heiden en- eli canton de APP
pencil, cuyos habitantes lie provei-
an gratuitamente de vitualias. Por
fin, un amigo de Dunant Sc dirigi6 a
la emperatriz viuda de Russia, eX-
ponitndoie la situaci6n precaria de
este bienhechor de la humanidad, y
la generosa soberana le aslgn6 una
renta annual de 1000 frances. Al mis-
mo tempo, la ciudad de Moscow lie
entreg6 un donativo de 5000 fran
cos, como "el hombre que en- ell 81
gio Xix ha contraido mayores me-
ritos para con la humanidad''. Ade-
mas Ie fue reconocida la mitad de uno
de los premios Nobel.

WINS OR LOSES A PATIENT.
Little God Of Love Is Responsible for
Variations in the Income of
Dentist.

Cupid has more to do with making
the dentists income an uncertain and
variable quantity than any other single
influence. A dentist who from the
girlhood of Gladys Vanderbilt yearly
received fat fees for keeping her teeth
in order remarked recently with re-
greet at the loss of this source of reve-
nue. after she became Countess
Szechenyi.
"a dentist never knows" he added,
when marriage is going to rob him Of
one of his most profitable patients. L
am proud that it has been my expert
ence that persons who have come to,
me to have their work done always
come back again if their teeth need
attention-until Cupid comes in to up
set my calculations.
Whenever l hear of one of my pa
tients planning wedding I know that
am going to lose a patient or win a
new one. The bride and bridegroom
almost invariably go to the same dem
fist. From my standpoint it's case
of lose one or win both"
The element of uncertainty that
such condition provides makes the
poor dentist uneasy at times about the
size of future income

know what phossy jaw is? It's the rot
ting away of the jawbone, as horrible
an ill as leprosy, that is contracted by
the workers-poor duffers-in fac
tories where strike-anywhere matches
are made. Phossy jaw comes from
white phosphorus. White phosphor-
us is the base of strike-anywhere
matches, but in safeties there's NOT a
grain of it, and so in safety-match nc
tories phossy jaw is unknown.
1T always seems to me-" concluded
the orator, when scratch a strike

DOG THAT TOLLS FOG BELL.
Intelligent Animal Is Invaluable AS
sistant to Keeper of Isolated
Light Station.

OF the shores Of Alaska, on small,
rocky island, is little light station,
connected with which is a fog bell.
During the continuance of dense fogs,
which frequently prevail, the hell
is used to warn vessels of the dan
ger of approaching too near the island
and coast.
The lightkeeper has a large and
very intelligent shepherd dog that an
swers to the name of Don Carlos. This
dog has been trained to toll the fog
bell when the weather is very heavy
So we'll trained is Don Carlos that,
when the fog comes rolling in, he
rushes, unbidden by the keeper, to the
bell and begins to tug at the rope and
to sound the alarm.
Don Carlos often takes his turn at
the bell during the night when
the keeper is busy looking after
the light.
Il do not see how / could get along
without Don Carlos" the keeper de-
clares. II am all alone and have no
other assistant; but can always rely
implicitly on my dog. He knows his
duty and faithfully performs it, wheth-
er told to do so or not"

How to lncIose = stamn-

There's only one decent, way to in
close stamp for reply" said the
head of large business, land that is
to use one of the stamps from the out
side rows of a sheet with blank mar
gin that can be stuck upon the letter
and leaves the stamp ready for use.
Any other way either loses the stamp
or else spoils it for use. But found
to-day trick that is pretty good.
Most people inclose the stamp by
sticking it down at one corner, and
then you have to paste that corner
down when you use the stamp. The
new trick is to wet the stamp in a
little space in the center and stick it
there. 1t pulls off easily, yet when
you use the stamp all the edges have
gum enough to stick. Farm Ma

Our Real Leisure Class.

Does any one think longingly Of
our harried and driven rich as the
leisure class?" Far from it are they.
Dashing hither and yon from dawn
to dawn every day in the year, at the
call of emulation, none has less leis-
ure than they. To see the real leis-
ure classes of America visit Central
park There, on the benches and on
the grass, you will see them-nurse-
maids, sitting perfectly idle for hours
while baby sleeps in his cab or frol-
les on the grass; grandma or grand
pa keeping idle guard over the third,
or even the fourth generation, and a
miscellaneous collection of buns,
stretched out wherever they can be
most comfortable and caring not a
whit that the world moves so long as
they do not have to. They under
stand the real thing in leisure.-New

plores Custom Of lndiscriminate
Gift Giving.

Just how much are the parents re.
sponsible for the indiscriminate Civ.
Ing of presents between boys and
girls? or course, certain rules of ETH
quette obtain in certain classes of
society, but there Is mass outside.
In the country and small towns who
are not governed by the rules laid
down by Madam Grundy. There seems
to be a tendency toward expensive
gifts among the young people of to-
day. Should young girl be allowed
by her parents to accept gifts other
than candy, flowers, music and books
from her boy friends? The question
often comes up in the homes when
some boy, all in good faith, gives the
girl friend bit of expensive jewel
~. Some mothers, at once, compel
the girl to return the gift and that
ends the friendship and causes an en-
barrassing situation. OF course, there
are girls, without conscience or that
innate refinement which every good
wholesome girl possesses, who just
go with boy for the sake of the
gifts lavished upon her.
Now, does the responsibility of in
discriminate giving rest with the
parents of the boy or the girl? If the
boy was trained by his mother not to
Offer expensive presents to the girls
until Miss Right comes along, it
would save many heartache. If the
girl has been properly instructed,
could not she, in an unobtrusive way,
give the boy to understand that such
gifts were not desirable? Indiscrim-
mate giving between boys and girls
often causes an innocent friendship to
degenerate into mawkish sentimental
ism.-The Housekeeper.

Versatile Destiny.

A man becomes fan and soon loses
his hearth and home. Another yearns
to shuttle off this mortal coil and gets
kicked into prison cell by his hasty
father. Another learns to his surprise,
as thousands have learned before him
In various ways, that there are all
kinds of unsupported dangers in sit
ting on a sofa with a young woman.
4 wife may spring divorce, a father
may take sudden notion to kick or
spank, and lightning may yank an in
nocent young man away from his girl
and make dents in the ceiling with
him. Destiny is surprisingly versa
tile thing, with million and one ways
of knocking human plans galley-west.

Strength of Early Impressions.

Grown people have in general a
very inadequate idea of the suscepti.
bility of little children. AS a little
tree is easily warped from its true
shape, SO is the heart and the mind of
little child
Said Froebel: IF pierce the young
leaf of the shoot Of plant with tho,
finest needle, the prick forms a knot
which grows with the leaf, becomes
harder and harder, and prevents it,
from obtaining its perfectly complete.
form. Something similar takes place,
after wounds which touch the tender,
germ of the human soul. 1t would
have been far different with humanity
If every individual in it had been pro-
tected at that tender age.'

The Fox Who Had Lost His Tail.

A fox caught in a trap escaped with
the loss of his brush. Thereafter feel
ing his life burden through the ridi-
Guile to which he was exposed, be
schemed to bring all other foxes into
like condition with himself, that in
the common loss he might better con-
ceal his own deprivations. He as
sembled good many foxes and pub
licly advised them to cut off their
tails, saying they would not only look
much better without them, but would
get rid of the weight of the brush,
which was very great inconvenience.
But one of them interrupting him
said: IF you had not yourself lost
your tail, my friend, you would not
thus counsel us. "-Aesop's Fables. !

Flowers Without FOLIAGE.

One of the most extraordinary flow
ers in cultivation is Halls amaryllis,
which reverses the order of nature by
blooming in midsummer without any
foliage. Ordinary bulbs bloom in
spring and rest in summer, but Halls
amaryllis suddenly appears out of the
bare ground during the dry season.
This extraordinary plant has fra

banded with yellow. In the spring
the leaves make their growth, die
down. and after long interval Of
