NICE RARroN AND AER Work

Speaking OF Clara Barton, she Is
still living at the age of SS, and makes
her home at Gleno Echo. near Wash
ington. Miss Barton has had a singu-
larly useful and interesting life. and
from the time she was 16 has lived
for the good OF others. Possessed OF
marvellous nervous strength, mex
haustlble energy, she burned her can
die at both ends and accomplished an
incalculable amount Of work. with
her education and sympathies it was
natural when the civil war broke out
that she should go TO the front, and
she took her place there at time
when women were not permitted that
distinction, a place she did not re-
linquish untlYthe end of the struggles.
She was active In the field, active In
hospital work, organizing and direct
ing, training other people to help,
drumming up supplies doing every
thing, in a word, that strong, capable
hands found TO do, and making rep
utation for herself which is known
all over the world and won her the
sobriquet of the "angel of the battle
lleld.' Her work subsequent to the
war was as important as it had been
during the civil strife President Lin
coin appointed her to attend to the
correspondence relative to the prison
ers missing after the exchanges were
made, a labor that was undertaken
with great, sympathy and love, and
which she carried on more successful
ly than perhaps anyone else could
have done. So that in the latter part
OF the COS she broke down entirely
and was forced to 60 to Europe for a
much-needed rest. II was then that
she formed the connection with the
Red Cross which resulted in the
United States joining that organiza-
ton, but before IT Joined much per-
suading and much lobbying were nee
essary, as everyone who was in touch
with the doings OF Congress ut that
time will remember.
For the work she has done for the
cause OF humanity Miss Barton has
been decorated by diplomas Of honor
from Germany, who bestowed upon
her the iron cross; from Baden, Aus
tria, Servia, Turkey, Armenia. swift

Strength of a Whale.

An anecdote illustrating the great
strength Of the whale is told us by an
eyewitness, Sidney King, who says
that while at Grand Manan last week
no saw a large specimen swimming
about at Seal Cove, near the mooring
at that place.
The large sardihe boat Ouida, owned
by William Russell and Grover Cook,
was tied up for the winter with a six
inch and a four inch bride to the
mooring. In playing about the vessel
which is of some fourteen tons burden,
the sea monster either accidentally or
by way of sport took the two large
ropes in his mouth and started 70
swim TO bottom. The vessel heeled
over and took in water. the chocks
were torn completely off her deck, and
finally both ropes were parted by the
terrific strain, setting the vessel adrift.
She was tied up again without dam
age, but 1t shows what a whale could
do il he was really enthuslastic.-Ken-
nebcc journal.

An Economical Beacon.

On sunken reef $50 feet distant
from Stornoway lighthouse Is re-
markable beacon which warns marin
ers with the help of light which is
only apparent.
The beacon Is a cone Of cast iron
plates surmOunted with a lantern con-
tanning 4 glass prism The prism de-
rives its light from refracting the rays
emitted from the lighthouse, and the
optical delusion is marvellous
Mariners naturally suppose that
there Is lighted lamp on the beacon
itself, and many of them will not be-
lieye otherwise. But the object of the
beacon Is attained when the navigator
sees the reflected light which indicates
The perilous rock below. This beacon
has been in use more than half a CEN
tury and since it was fixed in posi-
tion others have been placed in other
neighborhoods to make clear points
of danger.

A Timely Reminder.

The motion of closed street cars has
a disagreeable effect on some children.
At least, it usually does on little Emily,
for almost invariably when she has
ridden a few squares in them she he
comes dizzy and faint and the only
relief IS to signal the conductor and
be let on
One day, however, it did not happen
so. Indeed, instead of Emily being
so affected by the cars motion it was
her little brother, who when the car
had bowled along a short distance be-
gan to pale and shows beads Of cold
sweat.
When frequent glances at his sister
failed to reveal her to be in this same
uncomfortable state the designing
youngster, unable to bear 1t longer,
leaned toward her and said, family:
Emily, it's time for you to get sick
and be let of. isn't it?"

THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE

stilted critics in England who never
weary Of finding fault with the Eng
lish spoken and written in this coun-
try, might reflect seriously over Mark
Twain's remark that I'VE OF this
country do not speak English, but
American. Since English critics them
selves keep harping that our language
is not English, there is no reason for
ourselves calling It such.
The tail doesn't wag the dog. And
this nation, which has made its Lam
guage the diplomatic language OF the
world and is transplanting it In colo
nles all around the globe, Is under no
obligation any longer to call that lam
guage English" The relative popula-
tion, wealth and power OF the United
States and Canada are quite sufficient
to entitle them to a language Of their
own.
1t is no new proposition. Even as
early as one of the first sessions OF the
continental congTeHs, an ardent pa
triot moved that we renounce the
English speech OF the British oppres-
sOrs and adopt language of our own.
Roger Sherman thereupon moved to
amend the resolution to read that we
should retain English ourselves and
compel the British to adopt some other
language.
Prof Brander Matthews, who tells
this story in Munsey's, calls attention
to a movement, not so drastic as that
proposed by the revolutionary patriots,
now being pushed by the American
Language Legion. That body sending
out appeals to the American people
urging them ito unite in calling the
mother tongue by the name OF the
children who speak It,"
There is nothing to prove that the
English language has done any more
for this country than might have been
done by French OF German The Lam
guage as commonly spoken now In
many sections is largely blend Of
many languages. America has contyih-
uted more than her share of new scien-
| tific terms and OF words which, origi-
mated as Slang" have grown into
universal use.

Tea claarettes.

The women Of Paris have discovered
new method of stimulatlA in the
tea cigarette. To make one about as
much tea is required as would make
two strong cups Of tea. AS many Paris
women are reported to be smoking
on an average ten day, It is easy
to see why the doctors should be taxi
ing measures to nip the fashion in
the bud. They describe 1t as a hor-
ribly easy method Of stimulation and
sure to undermine the strongest con-
stitutiOn in a few months.

ABE LEE AT LEApvILLs.
led the First Successful Parts IN
California Gulch.


California eulch.
when the history of Leadville Is
written" said Max Boehmer of Den
yer in talking of the early mining Se-
velopment of the district to-day, there
should be no mistake as to who act
ually made the first discovery or gold
in Californa Gulch. The man was
Abe Lee, who died in Park county a
few years ago. He was one Of the
best known characters in this section.
He was the first recorder OF Lake
county.
''The first prospecting party that en-
tered the gulch was under the leader
ship of Abe, and they had not been
very successful. They worked all
the way up the gulch from below
Granite without finding any values,
and all Of them were nearly blinded by
the SNOW. They were about ready TO
quit when Lee suggested that they try
another pan. He dug down until he
struck a layer OF cement, and below
this the gravel was softer. Lee, al
though suffering terribly from snow
blindness, managed TO pan the gravel
and the result was such that they at
once recovered confidence. He worked
the gulch for a long time and made
plenty Of money.
THE question has also been asked, .
continued Mr.. Boehmer, where did
the millions of dollars taken out of
the California gulch placers in early
days go?
IF remember rightly, no one made
a very large pile, but there were
scores of men who left the gulch with
$4,000 or $50, 900 and went back East
to establish themselves in business OF
tc buy farms. AS a rule they were
sober, Industrious men, and the for.
tunes they made in the gulch gave
them a competence which enabled
them to prosper I'm their undertakings
in other parts of the country. Den.
