Remarkable whiskers.

A Embarrassing adventure is recount
ed by a London actor, Arthur Bour-
CHER, who once. being cast for the
part Of Henry VIII, determined to grow
beard suitable for the role. He took
a three weeks vacation and retired into
darke est Cornwali upon this mission,
emerging at the end Of the period
with considerable progress visible.
However, 1t seemed best to repair TO
a hairdresser for little Fastening
treatment. All went well until one
week END at Northumberland, when
SIR. Bourchler decided TO batho in the
sea. Alas for the chemistry Of ocean
waters mingled with hair tonic-his
whiskers when he next beheld them
were q dazzling green! He returned
to London In haste. with head bowed,
and before the play was presented
the hairdresser was able to apply
cornteracrive CHEMICALS enough TO give
him a less striking appearance.

The American Baby.

Secretary of Labor Davis authorized the
admission at Ellis island of three-mo1ths- sold
Polish baby after the Polish immigration quota
had been filled. Mr.. Davis remarked that
America is not in the business of separating
mothers from babies. AS the creator of Moose
heart, that miracle city Of childhood, Mr.. Davis
is convinced that the best way to Americanize
is to catch your alien while he is young. 1t is
wonder that New York advocates of birth
control do not start campaign to import a
few hundred thousand orphans from Europe
and Asia and bar all adult immigration.
The baby is having his day in America, in
spite of the statiticans who insist that families
are not as large as they were two generations
back. Economic conditions were different in
those days. Twenty-Five states have accepted
the new federal maternity act Each of these
states will receive federal appropriation, to
be distributed with the approval of the federal
board of maternity and infant hygiene.
One of the finest things in America today
is the attitude of the state toward babies and
older infants First we gave them the kinder
garten teacher Then the visiting nurse. Then
the maternity bill was passed in their interests
There are yet many things that America will
do for the baby. Possibly we will provide him
with insurance and offer him every protection
from exploitation and guarantee him against
being fed to cannons.> The supreme test OF
. nation is what it sees in humanity and the
Yhighest evidence of advanced civilization is
the public attitude toward the infant citizen.

Diaries of the Home.

Rummaging among useless government
publications. the house committee printing
came upon the Diary of Home-Making Actiyi-
ties" The cost of it is not staggering, but its
purpose is sufficiently SO. Issued by the feder-
al board of vocational education, 5000 copies
of this little book have been placed in the hands
OF wives of workingmen and of farmers They
are requested TO read the sample diaries there
in given, and on that model to stop every half
hour of their days work and write in the blank
pages exact account of what they had been
doing for the previous so minutes. Then the
whole is to be returned to Washington for the
enlightenment of the vocational board. 1t will
doubtless thereafter proceed to construct new
educational courses and to publish additional
bulletins and questionnaires and monographs,
on the basis of the priceless information thus
received
The sample diaries offered for the guidance
of untutored home-makers contains such pro-
foundIy illuminating entries as the following:
"Combed Alice's hair" 'mended husbands
shirt" punished Billy for hurting Alice. There
is also a special diary for college women. They
are requested to put down what they did and
the reason that they did it. Thus: $3.50, lay
flat on my back and read the paper" And why?
BecauBe she was tired and wanted to find out
what was the news.
The enthusiastic vocationalists at Washing
ton hops to get back as many as one thousand
of these diaries of the home. That will
able them to demonstrate how much time is
wasted and motion lost in the farm houses of
the land, and draw up, they gravely say, "a
curriculum for educating young girls along
the line of what most women have to do, &C
cording to these reports" Unless, however,
we mistake the vigor of the housewives of Illi-
nois, some Of them will send back their diaries
with the single record: 1870. got copy of
