Lady Alan Johnston. daughter of
Mrs. James Pinchot, started It. She
is Il stanch defender of the weed and
smokes it whenever and wherever she

while riding in an automobile from

have stirred up any trouble but when
recently she offered her cigaret case

Tho Christmas Snow.
Just at tho evening hour
/ sit near the fires warm glow,
And through my awakened memory,
Unbidden. the troubled thots go.
Through the partly drawn curtain. I
notice
The Christmas snow fakes as they
Breathing twilight's fading brightness
In benediction over all.
Each deed of the past comes before
And pauses with wistful eyes,
Pleading for better treatment
Then vanishes 'mid signs.
Sadly / think az I view them
OF the wasted days in my life,
Wondering how l couio mar them
And fill them with such bitter
strife.
The sad-eyed shadows accuse me
And ! hear the piteous moan
From the lips of those l have wound
In a trembling. uncertain lone.
Thus, as l muse. the long hour
Swiftly glide by, and at last
] grope my way to the window.
To find that the snow storm is past.
The earth with her beautiful mantle
So pure and stainlessly white
Seems to smile in her dreaming
OF every dark wrong made right.
And I pray as I think the Father
Who giveth the crystal flakes
That he will cover my folly
That he will pardon mistakes.
Swiftly the fearful ghosts
OF the past years fit away
Leaving me calmly waiting
Now the stars far above twinkle

To greet the fair, new day.
With promise of time. Yet to be.

of Red Cross Seals.

OFAXlM VI fteu NfOSS seals.
How did the Red Cross Christmas
seal originator" is a question that is
being asked by many during this holi-
day season when millions of these
stickers are being sold all over the
United States. To Mr.. Jacob Riis. the
well-known social worker of New
York, and to Miss Emily P. BisseN.
the energetic secretary of the Della
ware Red Cross. jointly belong the
honor OF originating our American
Red Cross Christmas seal. In 1909
Mr.. Riis' interest was aroused by the
receipt OF a Christmas tuberculosis
stamp on a letter from Norway. He
published an article about this queer
looking stamp in the Outlook. and
suggested some possible uses for it in
an opportunity here mt prepared a
stamp. from the sale Of which her
society realized $1,000 for tuberculo-
sis work. So impressed was she with
the success that she induced the
American Red Cross to take up the
sale in 1905 on a national basis. With
very little organization and with hard
ly any attempt at careful advertising.
the sale that year brought in. never
theless. $4,000 for anti-tuberculosis
work In various parts OF the United
states. In 1909. with more thorough
organization, the sale was increased to
$4,000. and in 1910 to nearly $780,
600. Last year the sale increased to
over s3S0,o00. or $4,000. 900 seals.
While our own Red Cross seal dates
back only four years. Charity
stamps" from which this idea origin
ally sprung. go back to 1862, when
SANITARY fair stamps" were first used
in Boston to secure money for the
are of the soldiers wounded during
the civil war. Nearly 100000 was
raised in this way during the years
1852 to 1865. After the war this
method OF raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for a generation,
although it found vogue in Portugal,
Switzerland. Austria, France, Spain,
Denmark. Norway, Russia. Sweden
and other European countries. There
are now hundreds Of different types
of charity stamps used in all parts
OF the world, as many as forty being
used in Austria for children's hospitals
alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904 1t was from one Of these stamps
that Jacob Riis and Miss Biss.ll re-
ceived their ideas for our own Red
Gross Christmas seal.

Refuse From Mines Used For Building
Material.
The great heaps of refuse to be seen
adjoining coal and iron pits throughout
Scotland. which have always been
looked upon as useless waste product.
are now found to be valuable in the
manufacture of bricks. A new indus
try has recently been started in elias
gov for the utilization of cooke
breeze" This breeze mixed with
portland cement, produces a ''fireproof
partition" made in the form of slabs
varying in size from two feet to three
feet six inches in length and one foot
in breadth and in thickness from one
to four inches. These dimensions can
be increased if specially desired.
When built as inside partitions of
buildings the addition of coat of lime
and putty or sand finish gives a per.
fectly smooth surface The partitions
are absolutely fire and vermin proof.
They have the quality Of thoroughly
deadening sounds and can be built in
floors without beams or other struc-
tural detail The material has been TAX
en- up and approved of by the Glasgow
architects. 1t has been used in vari-
Gus important buildings in Glasgow

Fine oilstones, emery wheels or other
grinding stones sometimes become COW

and dirt, which forms smooth and

quickly and easily without harming or
wasting the stone by boiling it for a
few minutes in water containing about
one teaspoonful of I've to quart of
water. Care must be taken not to let
the stone rest on the bottom of the
pan, as the heat may crack it. The I've

stone. Stones treated in this manner
