Botonist Recalled as
Ben FrankIin's Friend

When Benjamin Franklin returned
from his long stay in England, where
he had spent much time with Peter
Coilinson, tie English botanist, he be-
came highly unpopular with the Amer
leans for a time, and his treatment
caused Collinson to write warning
letters to the English government, ex-
pressing the belief that America might
attempt d revolution for independence
from the mother country.
1t was CoIlinsons information and
encouragement that first induced
Franklin to interest himself in cleo
tricity and Collinson published his
friends experiments to the Royal so
ciety, defended him against their criti-
cism, and secured his election as a
fellow, says a writer in the Christian
Science Monitor.
AS a botanist CollinsOn obtained
many native plants from the early col
oniStS In America and distributed them
among landowners In England.

Longfell0U's Maine Home

There Is 1 Longfellow house ID
Portland, the home where he spent
much of his boyhood. 1t was built Id
17S5, by the poets grandfather, Gen.
Peleg Wadsworth, and was the first
brick house in Portland. 1t stands Oh
Congress street, next to the mansion
Of Commodore Preble, and it still ex-
lists in its original form except that
Stephen Longfellow added a third
story 70 it. This was LongfellOw's
home when he returned from college,
from his trips abroad, and when aft
erward he made his visits from Cam
bridge. BY the sisters will the house
with most Of its contents was left to
the Maine Historical society, to be
kept as a memorial to her distin-
guished brother. In it have been de-
posted by the family many interest
Ing things associated with the Wads-
worths and the Longfellows. and
there the poets admirers may see the

written, and mementos of his child

Recording Angel May
HaUe Overlooked This

Even the stauncheSt churchmen are

white lie now and then. One who

otherwise tries to induce others to
lead a righteous life was one of a
party of bowlers who went to New
Bedford to compete with a group
from the whaling city. On the return
the bus in which they were making
the trip had no end of trouble, with
the result that arrival In Brockton

he replied sleepily:
yes, dear" And then he went to

TrGUesty on Coffee
Served by Jauanese

Java coffee is renowned the world
over-in the bean. In the cup, as
served in the Dutch tropical posses
sions, it is frightful travesty on cof-
fee, writes Samuel G. Blythe in the
Saturday Evening Post.
They roast the bean until it is al
most burned, and grind it. Then they
let water drip through it or employ
some other occult process, and pro
duce a black, thick, acrid mixture
they call coffee essence. This is
served cold in a little pitcher. with a
larger pitcher of hot water. The plot
IS to pour some of the essence into
your cup, fill the cup with the hot
water and revel In the murky com
bination.
It doesn't taste like coffee. It
tastes like some sort of chemical So
luton used for cleaning rugs. That
is detail. There isn't a good cupful
Of coffee, or a cupful of good coffee,
TO be had outside of the United States
anywhere in this world, SO why i'm
peach the Dutchman's idea of the
brew?

England's Great Seal

At one time an important official
had charge of the great seal of Eng
land. Known as 'chaffwax," he was
its real custodian, whereas the lord
chancellor was its nominal custodian.
1t was the duty of chaffwax to melt
the wax and take the impressions of
the seal as they were required. The
Office was abolished many years ago
and the work is performed now by an
ordinary employee, but the last of
the chaffwaxes figured in the pension
list until recently.
1t is the custom to give the old
seal to the lord chancellor whenever
a new one is made. In the early days.
says London Tit-bits, the old seal
was carefully broken up and only the
fragments handed over to the chan
cellOr, but now a gentle blow with a
hammer. delivered by the king, is suf-
ficient to break it in a technical sense.

France Has Absorbed
Blood of Many Races

France is called a Latin country
but little save the language and some
customs are really left over from Ro-
man times. Racially, there is no Eu-
ropean people more mixed. Two
thirds Of the dwellers in ancient Gaul
were Celts. the rest were Teutonic
Franks.
This CeltO-Teutonic admixture In
the last 1900 years has absorbed Ro-
mans from all parts of that hetero-
geneous empire; pure Celts, in Brit
tany; Scandinavian Normans, in the
Seine valley; Teutonic Flemings and
Walloons, in the north; Teutons, in
Lorraine and Alsace; Italians, in Nice
and Savoy; Greeks and Arabs, on the
Mediterranean coast; Spaniards and
Basques, in the Pyrenees; English
and Scotch, in the southwest, which
was held by English kings for more
than a century,
After the Napoleonic wars came
many Poles. Before 1914 Swiss. Ger
man and Belgian immigrants were be-
ing quickly assimilated Such facts
augur well for the present undigested
contingents of Italians, Russians,
Czechs and Poles. There has been
talk, nevertheless, of establishing a
quota system similar to that in force
in the United States.

Protein IN MiIk

Milk helps repair the wear and tear
Of the body. II is as good as meat
for building muscle. Moreover, it IS
cheaper. a quart Of milk will supply
as much protein as seven ounces OF
sirlOin steak or four large eggs.
Milk, particularly evaporated milk,
which has twice the mineral content
Of market milk, IS one Of the best
and cheapest sources Of lime, which Is
form Of calcium.
Infants and growing children need
lime to build bones and teeth. It Is
just as necessary for adults to keep
their bones IN good condition. One
quart Of milk, or one pint Of evapo-
rated milk, furnishes as much calcium
as ten large oranges, thirty-two eggs
or twenty pounds Of beef. Milk also
IS a valuable source Of phosphorus
and supplies a certain amount Of iron.

Sailors Gold

One of the most curious treasures
hunted by sailors in tropical waters is
ambergris.
This has nothing to do with amber.
1t Is a secretion shed into the water
by certain sperm whales, and is, meta
phorically speaking, worth its weight
in gold.
Curiously enough, although when
taken from the whale it has most
unpleasant smell, when exposed to the
air its odor becomes pleasant, and it
is used largely In the perfumery trade.
BY old tradition, ambergris is treas
ure trove, and the skipper and crew
who have the luck to find 1t may di-
vide the proceeds of its sale.
Fabulous tales are told of beach
combers who dozed in rags on tropical
seashores to find on awakening a
lump of ambergris washed to their
feet by the waves.

RED CROSS HEALTH CAMPAIGN
Public Health Nursing, Nutrition
and Home Hygiene Work
Cover the Country.

Important contributions to public
health were made by the American
Red Cross through its Public Health
Nursing Service, Nutrition Service,
and in instruction in Home Hygiene
and Care of the Sick. In every State
and Alaska, with the exception of
Delaware and Nevada, instruction
was given by the Red Cross, also in
the Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico,
and Virgin Islands. A total of $3.50
women and girls learned to make a
hygienic home, and care for the sick
in their homes.
The United States Public Health
Service estimates that adequate rural
health nursing service would cost
S2O,000,000 annually, but would save
billion dollars in value of human
life, earning power, and economic con-
servation. The American Red Cross,
through its Public Health Nurses, of
whom there were nearly 500 on duty
the past year, is doing its part in
meeting this requirement.
The Red Cross, through its nutri-
ton Service, taught thousands what
to eat for health. In this country, "a
States were served with from one to
ten Red Cross Chapter nutrition pro-
grams in each State. In 38 States,
nutrition instruction was given either
through the regular nutrition instruc-
tors or through volunteer dietitians.
During the school year an average
Of 15,413 individuals a month, includ-
ing parents, teachers, pre-school, and
school children, were assisted to a
better knowledge of food in its rela-
tion to health, and how to apply it to
their daily lives. In March, 111,219
individuals received this instruction,
while during the year 1858 classes
were conducted and $3.50 conferences
and home visits were given by nutri-
tionists, thus reaching thousands of
individuals
The Annual Roll Call for Member
ship from November IL to 25 is an in
vitation to all persons to assist in
maintenance of such services through
another year by enrolling in the
American Red Cross.
