Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

July IL, 1862.-At the request Of Pres
ident Lincoln the Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes from the border slaveholding
States met him today and listened to
him read a paper he had prepared,
which is understood to have been an
anneal to them to take an open ana
avowed position in favor OF the prompt
initiation by their respective States OF
the nolicy of prospective, gradual eman-
cination and colonization OF the slaves
with pecuniary aid from the general
Government.
The President is said to have dwelt
with great earnestness upon the 1nf1u-
ence such action could not fail to nave
in sunnressing the spread of extreme
abolition doctrines at the North which
have assumed serious proportions
through the prolongation OF the present
The reading of the paper, which was
renlete with the kindliest sentiments,
was listened to with great attention by
the Senators and Representatives ana
with reciprocal cordially by most OF
them.
sentatiyes from the border slaveholdlng
states assembled for consultation upon
the subject and selected committee
to frame a reply to President Lincoln S
address. It is understood that among
those on the committee are Wicklif1e
NJ Kentucky, NOEL of Missouri, Cris-
field of Maryland, Fisher OF Delaware
and Mallory of Kentucky.
This meeting at the White House pc
tween the President and members OF
Congress from the border slaveholding
states was designed, it is said, to be
private and informal conference, out
of which the President hopes some
practical plan for dealing with The
Slave question may grow.
An adjourned meeting OF the Reptb-
lican caucus was held today at the
Capitol. A resolution was adopted, de-
claring that I'VE hold it to be the duty
of all loyal men to stand by the Union
in the present hour of trial, TO unite
their hearts and hands in the earnest
and patriotic efforts for its mainte-
nance against those who are in arms
against it, to sustain with determined
resolution our patriotic President and
his administration in their most ener-
getic efforts for the prosecution OF the
war and the preservat ton of the Union
against its enemies at home and abroad,
to punish treason with fitting severity,
and to crush the present wicked and
causeless rebellion that no flag of dis
union shall ever again be raised in any
portion of the Republic"

''Reg'lar FeIIers" Who Became Great
Thomas A. Edison a Boy Was Often Near Death.

BY ]. p. GLASS.

Tommy Edison had an inquiring
mind. He liked to experiment At the
age of six he was filled with wonder
at the process by which the goose, set
ting on her eggs. Matched them out.
Soon after. Tommy was missing. His
father, Samuel Edison, making an anx-
ious search, found him in the barn,
sitting patiently in a nest of hay.
He was trying to hatch out large
quantity of goose and hen eggs.
The boy, whc was to give the world
the incandescent lamp, the phono-
graph, and numerous other great in
ventions, started to work early in life.
However, he first had time to enjoy
the usual adventures of childhood.
They were often fraught with disaster.
1t is wonder he survived.
One day he fell in canal and, be-
ing unable to swim, was nearly drowned
before he was dragged out.
Falling into the wheat pit of a grain
elevator, he was almost smothered
He held skate-strap while COM
rade shortened it with an axe and SO
lost part of a finger.
He built fire in barn, the flames
spread and devoured the structure. and
while he escaped, he suffered an I'M
pleasant punishment. He was whipped
in the public square as a warning.
One encounter was painful but had
funny aspects, at which even he had
to laugh. He was digging out a nest
of humble bees near the orchard fence
when big ram, seeing him most favor
ably placed for a good butting, charged
down on him. Tommy managed to
get over the fence, evading a second
charge, but couldn't sit down COM
fortably for a couple of days, as a re-
suit of the first.
Edison already was conducting lab
oratory experiments when he went to
work as a news butcher on the Port
Huron-Detroit train. In those days
the baggage car was divided into three
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES for baggage, one
for mail and one for smoking. But the
latter, being unventilated. was not used,
and so the conductor kindly allowed
Tommy to set up his apparatus in it.
He had plenty of time. during the
three-hour run, to experiment.
One day a sudden lurch of the train
dislodged stick of phosphorus. 1t fell
to the floor and burst into flames. The
car took fire and the conductor had
a hard time saving 1t. He gave Tommy

Architect Saves You Money.

Who can help but feel sorry for the
woman who announces defiantly her
house will be built without the aid of
an architect? Those familiar with the
problems of building home know how
silly that sort of talk is. One might
just as we'll go cruising without a
navigator, or go flying without plot.
Architects can save one money from
the very start. They can and will adj
wise you about the purchase Of land,
so far as it its suitability is concerned.
Much expensive construction would
have been avoided if this sort of advice
were universally sought. How many
women know anything about difficult
rock or water conditions, extensive grad
ing. inconvenient sewers, water supply,
and other factors that swell conStruc-
ton costs?
only a trained ana skilled architect
knows the good qualities Of various ma
terials, and where one material is more
economical to use than another. You
NAV be sure, too, your building when
completed will conform to the laws OF
the Building Code.
We know Of few women quallf1ed to
select a contractor, or familiar enough
with construction costs to distinguish
between a fair and an exorbitant
charge. Architects are familiar with
these facts and have as we'll knowl-
edge of contractors that are experienced,
competent and responsible.
Few of us can tell when work IS
being done according to specifications,
or can recognize errors in The course
of construction. An architect inspectS
your house regularly during the process
of building, and corrects errors before
they become costly.
It matters greatly to our purse
whether a house is four or i've feet
longer or shorter. and an architect APP
preciating the relation of size to cost,
can utilize every inch of space built
upon. It matters also that ones house
be approved by the Board of Fire
Underwriters as well as local coming and
other commissions.
Usually the cost of an architect
amounts to about six to is per cent OF
the cost of the building. The larger
the building the smaller the percentage
of the fee AS a matter of Fact, an
architect effects savings which make
his charge cost you nothing 1t is OBJ

Poison Ivy.

Yesterday I described the poison ivy,
oak and Sun1ac plants.
Mr.. j., who is extremely susceptible to
the poisons of these plants, claims that
he can be poisoned by being anywhere
near them, so the poison must be
waited through the air.
We don't think this is true. Mr.. J.,
for it seems to be established that the
poisonous property is contained in an
oily principle called toXicodendrol. ut

probability is that you have touched,
something that has come in contact
with the plants. For instance, some
friends. or some horses. dogs or other
animals! However. the popular belief
that smoke from burning plants may
cause poisoning, is true. for it contains
f1nely-divided particles of the oil. Some
very bad cases of poisoning have orig!-
mated in this manner.
Susceptibility There is probably no
one who is absolutely immune to the
action Of the poison from these plants.
Some who are not ordinarily susceptible

Beauty.

Helen of Troy had "the face that
launched a thousand ships" Most of
us would be satisfied If that type of
beauty were able to set one little craft
af1oat. We expect beauty to accom-
plish something. Handsome is that
handsome does with a man. With a
girl, if she has beauty, then beauty
does its work.
Beauty may not be able to drive a
whole f1otilla of ships, but it is sup
posed to take a man in tow. For
there is natural connection between
beauty and love- A man loves a girl
because she is really beautiful, or he
loves her so devoutly that she seems
beautiful to him.
Woman is certainly playing tricks
with her beauty today, and is in danger
of getting into position where she'll
be more useful than ornamental. It's
useful for a girl when she has boyish
hair cut and mannish clothes, because
she can dress faster and make her way
more easily through crowd than could
her mother when she carried any
amount of excess baggage.
But this efficient way of dressing may
not pay in the end. We have removed
switches and skirts, locks and laces. We
think we can make up for the loss OF
IIlcSP DN an ChJj d
application of cosmetics. Indeed. it is
because we feel the need of something
to take the place of the child-time f1nery
that We rush to rouge and go pell nell
toward powder.
After all, beauty is expression. 1t is
because the rose is what it is that it
appears fair and fragrant. Dress is ex-
pected to reveal physical charms. Per-
fumes convey the sense of pervading
personality. Mercerized legs are sup
posed to suggest grace. And the tight
fitting hat is expected to reveal the
nobility of the head.
The type of beauty at which the mod
ern woman aims is efficient, in the sense
that it aims at active rather than pas
sive effects. The costume which is short
and loose and light suggests possibilities
of grace unknown to the past generation
of women, who were so upholstered that
they could barely move around on the
croquet ground.
A woman is not a statue or an act
ress, but she knows instinctively that
pose and gesture are important phases
of beauty. Her beauty will come out in
the way she stands or moves. She can
express herself directly without having
her picture taken.
The true portrait of the modern
woman is moving picture, not tin
type or cabinet photo in the family
album. 1t is a picture OF woman
coiffed and costumed for noble action, In
a world where she has found her place.

A Sermon for Today
The Age Dead-Line.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.


Text: 10, I am this day four
score and five years old. AS yet am
as strong this day as I was in the
day that Moses sent me: as my
strength was then, even so is my
strength now, for war, both to go out,
and to come in."-Joshua xiv: 10-11.
1t was Caleb speaking. Some thought
he had reached the age dead-line and
should be retired. But Caleb had no
thought of such a thing. Suppose,
however, he had been compelled to re-
tire? There would have been a differ
ent chapter to read in the subsequent
history of Israel. Old as he was, Caleb
continued to play a vital part in the
nations progress and campaigns Of
conquest in Canaan. In many battles,
and in many crises in the affairs of
the nation, his seasoned Judgment and
ripened experience proved to be of in
calculable value.
OF late there has been a good deal
of discussion about the age dead-line
in modern business and industry. Here
is a very suggestive paragraph from a
recent writer on the subject:
why should the human product of
energy, knowledge and experience be
permitted to go to the scrap pile? Has
it no salvage value in our industrial
scheme of business? Why the early
age dead-line to employment when
business demands more brains than
Drawn, and when the essential factors
to profit-production are experience,
maturity. of judgment and settled
habits?"
This is the case of Caleb brought
down to date. While there are other
sides to the matter. the question is
mainly one of human conservation.
The world has no brains. experience or
energy that it can afford to throw
away. We cannot afford to dump our
Calebs on the junk heap. Whether in
business or elsewhere, they are too
greatly needed.
