April IL, 1884 great increase in
the number of wounded soldiers in the
hospitals of this city resulted in an ap-
peal to the public today for contribu-
tons of lint, bandages and rags. All
persons who are able to do so are re-

the Christian Commissions, or to the
hospitals direct, all their spare, worn

Sympathy for the position of Gen.
Lee since his surrender of the Army of
Northern Virginia three days ago, in
the face of the overwhelming odds
against HIM, is being expressed quite
generally in the North. Several north
ern newspapers have pointed out that
his situation at the time of the sur
render must have been Every sadden-

today in The Evening Star here. lone
of his sons, whom he loved with a
manly tenderness, was dead-another
was in the hands of our troops, a
prisoner. His personal property had
all been taken possession Of by officers
of the Government.

organized and which he had led upon
so many hard-fought fields, was beaten,
disptrited, ruined. Nothing awaited
him but complete humiliation A

1t was pointed out in military circles
today that Gen. Grant is the only one
of the Union generals who has thus far
induced a Confederate army to sur
render, and he has induced three of
them to do so-that under Buckner at
Fort Donelson, February Is, 1862; that
under Penberton at Vicksburg. July 4,
1868, and that under Lee at Appomat-
tox Court House, April 9, 1865.

Salt pork is often so tried out when used
for cooking, and beef fat, also.
One mother used to tell her child,
when putting fresh sheet on bed, to
use the top one for the under, but to
be sure to- use it wrong side up and
upside down. It was an odd direction
but as soon as the child understood that
by turning it upside down she was
bringing the wear in different places,
and by putting it wrong side up the
side of the part that was fresh was
put uppermost and so next the sleeper,
all was then logical.
A child should be told why 1t Is ad-
visable to iron the sleeves of blouse or
frock before the rest of the garment. If
The sleeves are pressed after the garment
has been ironed the rest of the frock gets
badly mussed as you twist and turn it
In the process of ironing the two sleeves.
Speaking of ironing, explain why it is
that the hot iron should always be put
on its stand and never allowed to re-
main on the board when not in use. It
is so convenient to slip it off the gar
ment and let it rest on the board, but

A moment later there shufied out into
the moonlight the last person in the
world whom she wanted to see around
there. 1t was Bobby Coon. Yes, sir, it
was Bobby Coon!
Bobby was hunting for something to
eat. There was no doubt about that.
Mrs. Quack shivered when she thought
Of those 10 eggs under her and how
Bobby Coon would like to get them.
Bobby was headed straight toward her.
In the middle of the moonlit space he
stopped for a moment or two. He turned
and looked straight at Mrs. Quack. She
held her breath. It seemed as If he must
see her. But he didn't. No, sir, Bobby
didn't see her at all. He began mutter-

Everyday Psychology
Ancient Symbols.
By DR.. JESSE W. sPRowLs.


Some psychologists spend their days
and nights bordering over the past of
the human race. These mind miners
are interested in the things our ancient
ancestors thought about.
We all do our thinking in terms of
symbols-that is, we make mental
pictures of our ideas. so that we can
hold them before us long enough to do
with them. The easiest way
to do this mental picturizing is to pro-
lect our ideas into thingS--plantS, ami
mails, mountains, birds, etc. The
process is called Symbolizat So the
Democratic party is a donkey; the Re-
publican party, an elephant. There is
no end to the symbols men create for
the purpose of organizing their ideas.
Some of our symbols are very old.
The lotus leaf represents creation.
AS such a symbol it antedstes all
written history. This plant seems to
spring up on the surface of the water
without any apparent foundation. No
common object so much reminded
ancient man of his own mysterious
coming into the world.
The pine tree is always green, is a
long-lived tree. It symbolizes eternal
life. No one knows just when man
began to use 1t to symbolic life ever
lasting.
Fires that were started by lightning
were treated with superstitious awe.
Since the oak was struck more often
than any other tree. the ancient Druids
connected the mistletoe of oaks with
the mystery of electricity.
Early man, not being equipped with
methods of discovering the secrets of
life, did the next best thing-repre-
sented his ignorance by familiar objects,
thus hoping to endow ignorance with
understanding.

A Sermon for Today
Reverent Inquiry.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

"They shall ask the way to Zion with
their faces thitherward. Ter, is.
with their faces thitherward." Why
are these words inserted? If the pill
grins referred to had to ask the way to
Zion, what difference did it make which
way their faces were turned, meantime?
It made all the difference in the world.
What good would it have done them
to find out the way to Zion, unless they
were headed in that direction?
The phrase, with their faces thither-
ward" depicts the true attitude of the
seeker after God and the inquirer after
religious truth. AS Dean Church puts
it.: 1.-THE way and direction we choose
to look make a great difference as to
what we see and what we do not see.'
Religious research may or may not
be good thing; it depends on the
mental attitude of the inquirer, on the
way he is facing.
A DISTINGUISHED writer tells us that In
all research and experiment there must
be a right attitude of mind; that with
out a sympathetic predisposition, the
secrets of nature remain impenetrable.
The same thing is true with regard
to the great truths of religion. They
can be apprehended only by seriously
seeking souls, only by those who ap-
proach them with open minds and in
the right spirit. It Is impossible to
discern these great truths when ap-
preached in the temper OF criticism, in
the attitude of antagonism, in the mood
of indifference.
Religious truth unfolds itself only to
those who seek after it In a sympathetic
attitude and a responsive mood. We
must have receptive minds and hearts
in order to be able to see, feel and
grasp the things of God. God reveals
Himself only to the reverent Inquirer.

Some mothers don't care whether
their small daughters appear well
dressed or not. Some mothers would
rather not have their young daughters
look well dressed for fear their tender
young minds might become preoccupied
with thoughts of clothes. But most
sensible mothers take real pleasure in
having their children we'll turned out
and feel that they owe 1t to them to
provide clothes in which they may ap-
pear to the best advantage.
The actual money spent on clothes
is of less significance with children than
1t Is with grown women-so much de-
ponds on color and contour of the
clothes selected and on their spic and
span spotleSSness and neatness.
The older one grows the more one
stands in need of costly fabrics and fine
workmanship to achieve distinction.
The plainest Of serge or flannel, of ging-
ham or calico answers the purpose for
younger girls, and the rules for achiev-
ing distinction are comparatively simple.
There should be definite and simple
color scheme. The hat and other ac-
cessor1es should always be related in
color to the wrap or dress. Everything
should be as nearly spotless as possible

School Has Junior.Senior
Dinner.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

One of the girls in Nancys Good
Taste Club had a cousin who attended
a rural school. There were 90 men,
bers in the graduating class. 1t was
customary for the juniors to entertain
the seniors at a dinner, which they
called a banquet. The cousin had
written to her city cousin for some ideas
for the dinner. You see while 1 am
really senior, my sister Agnes is in
the Junior class. Anyway, our mothers
usually prepare the meal. so you can
understand why anne interested" The
city cousin brought the question to

swamp before she had decided on this
particular spot. She had even gone
down to the Big River and looked along
the bank there. Nowhere had she 1ouno
quite such a perfect spot for a nest. IL
seemed as if Old Mother Nature had
caused the bushes and the skunk cab
bage plants to grow just where they did
for the special purpose OF hiding j
ducks nest. It was only a little Way
to the Smiling Pool; it was only few
steps to the Laughing Brook. A better
situation couldn't have been made 10
order. Anyway, that is what Mrs. Quack
thought. So she was very happy there.
But Mrs. Quack was not free from
worries. No. indeed! No one is free
from worries. This is especially true
of a mother bird on her nest. She
knows full well that there is always the
chance that some sharp eyes VIII ma
that nest. There Is always the chance
that some one will accidentally stumble
over it, as Peter Rabbit had.
It was on the night following the
laying of her tenth and last egg that
Mrs. Ouack had her first real scare. IL
was in the dusk of early evening. Mrs.
Quack had had a nap that afternoon
and she was very much awake. You see,
now that she had all her eggs she was
settling down to the work Of brooding
them. She felt very proud Of those eggs.
They were to her the most important
things in all the Great World. She
dreamed of the ducklings that would
come from those precious eggs. You see,
there wasn't anything else to do but
dream. But while she dreamed she was
alert every instant. She was always
listening, always watching for possible
danger.
The Black Shadows crept all through
the little alder swamp. Later Mistress
Moon poured down food Of silvery
light. It got into the little swamp in
patches. Right where Mrs. Quack was.
Shadows. Just beyond her was quite a
broad patch of moonlight. She hap
pened to be looking at this patch of
moonlight when her bright eyes caught
Q movement in the shadows just beyond.
instantly she fixed her eyes on that spot.

beans were canned. If there was a
chance of new peas, they suggested
those instead.
The salad was fresh asparagus in
green pepper rings and served with
mayonnaise. There were rolls, olives,
homemade relishes and jellies. The
dessert was vanilla ice cream with
fresh strawberries as sauce. Home
made cake went with the menu. The
beverages were ginger ale combined
with white grape juice served during
meal, and coffee, which finished the
dinner.
