ALMS. Miss Clara Barton, president ot the National Red Cross Society of Amertea, delivered an ad- dress at the recent third annual meeting of the D.C.Charity Organization society, which at- tracted so mach attention and is of such im- portance as to Justify its reproduction here in full: Gentlemen and Ladies: I kuow you will be sorry when I tell you that Tam aggrieved and have a complaint to make, and you willbe shocked when I further tell you that itis against our dear Mrs. Spencer. The fact 1s she has a way of introducing or persuading me Into conferences and meetings composed not only of the most learned persous who can be found, but persons with minds and interests all concentrated upon some one sub- Jeet, which they understand as the engineer Understands b.s engine—an entire conference of experts, and of which subject the first letter 48a blank’to me; and once there, she arranges for me to talk to those people upon their subject, concerning which the smallest among them could teach me. This is what she did at St. Paul; this ts what she bas done (@nig! ad yet she is herself so €arnest in all she undertakes, apd undertakes so much, and works so hard abd so beautifully, 80 well, and is withal so glorious, and so ous to me, that Lean never find ‘it in my Eotttodeay ber anything abo sks.” Hence this unfitness of things at this moment; hence Tam here, I have uever met with your organization, and felt myscit a stranger to them, until upon closer ex:inia: shat for two-thirds of to bea charity ions li by myself, and to follow out Js principles, even before I realized that they Were principics, aud admitted of form and sysiem. Its over twenty-five years since I came from among the thritty, indusirious, well-kept peo~ ple of central Massachusetts to this city THE BEGGARS OF WASHINGTON AND WHO MADE THEM. In all my previous lite I bad seen few actual beggars. The outstretched palms were new to me. me in the streets, and crossed themselves, and mumbled about bread and sick mothers and Little sisters.

These dreaded vodies Of experts bad uot yet iormed. Little by little it dawned upon me that tue giving of money and of indi+idual charity as such, In civilized communities, where the ordinary avocations Of lite were pursued and labor attainable, was not only neediess, buta wrong and asin; and not only @ inoral but a politieal sin; not valy an in— dividual but # national sin, requiring wo be Te pressed and iorbiduen by law, if need be, like any other harmsul indulgence.

STRASBURG FOUND NAKED, LEFT THE BEST CLOTHED CITY IX EUROPE. ‘There was no begging and the European press said that some American travelers found Stras- burg naked and left it at the end of eight months the best clothed elty in Europe, ‘This was doubtless true, for she had a surplus of 40,000 garments to send to the destitute of Paris at the fall of the commune. This com- meneed a little the solving of my problem. As icarried itabroad I brought it back with me four years later, with this one test. Bat Ialso brought with ‘me the promise and desire to bring the government of the United States into adhesion with the international treaty of Geneva for the prevention and relief, s0 far as may be, of the sufferings Incident to war. Néitner is this subject to enter Into the consid— erations of this evening. It is sufficient to say that the success which this effort at treaty— making achieved left no cause for complaint nor room for discouragement. The practical application of the principles of this treaty calls for the existence of societies formed to keep themselves in readiness to meet the emergen- cies of war in its own country and the help of those suffering trom it in others. THE RED CROSS IN THE UNITED STATES. A national society, with auxiliaries every- where—here was an idea, Here was not a single ray, but the broad sunlight of a solution of my problem. These societies, acting under the Na onal, which must always exist as the inter national medium tor the treaty to act through, would be periaanent in their nature, formed to move only in the greatest ofemergeacies, Why should they not ‘organize themselves for the supervision and relief of the other class of great calamities fn civil life, which we denominate national, and which are liable to occur at one another point of the country at any moment. Never meddling with small local troubles,which should be to them like industrial aims-giving, and strietly forbidden by the constitution under Which they would exist, but to be instantly in Teadiness with funds ormaterial when called oF needed to ct In great emergencies. ‘There would be constituted a «ystem ot relief equal to the most extensive disuster, so far as human aid could equal. It would form a legal- ized and efficient vehicie, $0 to speak, for not only the people who desire to send aid, but the government as well, to act through, dud very properly this latter, the organization being in 2 mauner a part of itself. “I thought my~ plan worth trying, and did try it, and the resulis of this triaihave again Jett little cause for com- plaint avd none for discouragement, You per- haps know less of it than really exists, for, as you Rerectve, It has been the solution of ‘a problem.

It has done some work, but it bus never Boasied, and think you bave neverseen much Spread-eagle connected with its doings, Like your own, it is earnest aud determined work, and all work. CHARITY ORGANIZATION SOLVES THE INDIVID- UAL PROBLEM. Now, while I was solving my partof the prob- Jem the great, earnest thinkers of society have taken in hand the other portion, and a system of charity organizations for the every-day work of life has come into existence which, properly persisted in, cannot fall of accomplishing its xceat purpose. If steadily persisted in and | firmly held, the entire system of pauperisin, beggary and vagraney and, in a large degree, the petty vices attending ‘them, must inevi | tably sink away under the presstire of its wise and parental rate. Asa bureau of information, it pats into com- munication the person needing work to do and the person needing work tw be done. Asa pro- tection against imposition, It prompuy warns society of the presence, earacter and attempts of the imposter or double dealer. It points the way and opens It for the really helpless and des- | poudent to find ahome in the publie institu: tion to which he or she properly belongs, and a most hopetul and encouraging feature’ is that one sees it, a8 here, working with the officers of | the city administration and in hearty co- operation with them.

Put a layer of macaroni in a pudding dist, Add pepper, sait and butter; then sprinkle the bread and cheese crumbs over it, and so continue until the dish is filled. Bake until brown. GERMAN MUSTARD.—This will keep a year. Eight tablespooniuls of mustard, four table- spoonfuls each of sult and white sugar, a salt- spoontul of cayenne, four tablespoonfuls of melted butter, the juice of one raw onion (a large onion squeezed through a lemon squeezer), and mix with vinegar. ‘THEse GraHam Purrs are nice for breakfast: Sift together one and a half pints of Graham’ flour, one teaspoonful of salt and three teaspoon- fulsof baking powder, Mix with this one pint of milk and two well beaten eggs until a smooth: batter is obtained.

This soaks the soil round the rootsso thut the plant may be taken. up with a large ball of earth, without disturb- ing a fibre, and lodged in the large pots. An expert writes: “1 took mine up ajter rain and plunged the pots under water lor several day's, and the largest forbore todroopa ileal. The pots were set in cool shade in tubs of water which came some inches above the rims, und the plants showered ireely any time 1 passed them, Mignonette, which is so sensitive about transplanting, Was pottea and plunged in water the same way, without the slightest check. All Sorts of cuttings are set in thumbpots of earth, set closely as they will stand in shallow pans of water, and root in three days to a week. The reason of all this is simply that the plants or cuttings are freely supplied with all the water need to sustain their circulation in the critical change of transplanting. Plants need very much more water than they get in the growing season. Iwas struck by aline from some suthority to the effect that plauts could use tbree times as much water as they ever re- ceive in the rainiest weather,and think this Knowledge will be the key to greater success in plant growing than we have yet seen. Give a healthy plant in summer sur all the water at Its roots it can take up, and you will be astonished at its growth. You can almost see the cells of tissue shoot before the eye, like ice crystals.

How To DakN SrockINes.—In looking over the stockings to be darned you see at each hule the cotton is worn thin for half an inch, or more, and, mend ever so nicely, the work will be worn and torn away the next time itis put on. The stocking must be strengthened, so that the holes won't come aguin in the sanie piace, In sewing the rule is to use short needieful. Of cotton, to prevent Kinking and knols; but in darping use as longa thread as the urm can curry, u yard after doubling. Choose a darning needle slender asit can be, for a coarse needle spolis nice mending, cut away the ragged edges of the hoie, stretch the stocking on your hand as. it wouid nuturuliy streten on the foot, and take the first stiteh (hrough two threads of the firm. web at the lower corner of the hole, drawing the darning-tbread trom side to side of the sole as you first work, Always draw your thread first in the way the strain comes in wearing. On the foot, the stocking stretches around; on the leg tt stretches lenginwise; and you work threads in the long way first, then weave Jrom side to side, which mukes a smooth elastic darn instead of a Urawn, fumpy one. Do not make a knoton the end of the yarn, but leave the ends out half an inch to prevent ‘its pulling through. When you take the next stitch srom the other side do not draw the yarn quite th-ough at the end, but leave a little loop, which allows for shrinkage in wasb- i Ruu long stitches through the thin part of the web at the edges; lay the threads straight in crossing, and as close as you can. When you. ve worked across tne hole, begin to weave ds ucross under the first thread, over the Second, and so op aliernately, keeping the work weil stretched; work cl.se up to the edges of tue hole and finish when you ure at the end of the thread, or of the work, by running ihe needle inio the web two or three stitches and cutting the yarn ualian inch from the end, Just as you Would fluish off embroidery, Ex* et 8 in the exact stitch iu which it is woven, ‘Tney darn their stockings iu web-stiteh. After cutting off the frayed edges, and using as small @ needle us will curry tue cotton, take up each tiny loop and carry thread actoss to the loop ‘opposite to huld it firm; then work chain stitches ‘on these threads just tlie size of those In which the stocking is woven, jolning them at the side ud uppercnd.

She opened in Boston Monday night in ‘As You Like It,” and met with great favor. —Harold Fosberg will resume his starring tour next week, having gone back to the role of Vicomte de Flacon in “The Pavements ot Paris,’ which seems to have been specially written for him. Those who saw him in it here a couple of Seasons ago can still look back and laugh. —Fanny Davenport is sald to be collecting material fora biography of her father, E. L. Davenport. —“Erminie” is said to have played to $12,000 in Philadelphia last weet, the largest light opera business ever done in that city. “Erminie” isa moderately amusing skit, out what people can see in it to give it the success it has had must ever remain a mystery. —Minstrelsy seems tobe the only’ species of entertainmént that can draw first-class busi- ness in Washington or-any other part of the couniry. —Mr. Walter Dennis, of this city, has been engaged as a member of Manager Bidwell’s Stock company at the New Orleans Grand ra house.

Allowing an average of 15 peopie to each company, we have a total of over 4,000 actors and actresses, so-called, scurrying up and down this country in pursuit of ducats and fame, —It is sald that Mrs, Langtry is au expert with the foils, She fences an hour every morn- ing. She knows how to handle a pistol, too, and can clip @ card every time at fifteen paces, Her suecess in Pauline is a marked teature of the New York theatrical season, —Edwin Booth will open bis season at the Nsw York Star theater Monday evening in Hamlet.” The production will be notable for new scenery, which has been painted by Goateher, and is said to be very fine and striking. Booth’s New York engagement is for four weeks, —Those who ought to know attribute Miss Helen Dauvray’s suecesson the road in no small degree to her possession of a real Union Square mascot in the person of Mr. Walter Hudson, her private secretary, who no doubt derives his Mascottic qualities from his aunt, Maggie Miteheli. These qualities are by no means oc- cult, however, and consist simply in close and intelligent attention to business, —Mlile. Rhea played in Montreal last week. ‘On thé opening night students of McGill Uni- versity came to the theater in a body, carrying French flags and baskets of flowers, which they, presented to Rhea while they sang the “Mar- Seillaise” — Dion Boucicault will begin his engagement. in New York, at the Standard theater, this evening, in “The Jilt.” —Kate Claxton bas given up “Arrah na Pogue” and returned to the “Two Orphans.” Miss Claxton has arranged with D’Ennery to write her a new melodrama for next season. — The enterprising manager of Fred Warde is employing all sorts of schemes to boom that. actor, Last week in Wheeling he was escorted trom his hotel to the theater by a torch light peoccesion of the Knights of Pythias, of which e is a member, — Mme.

The critic of the Cork Constitution credits her with having saved a recent periormance ot “Il Trovatore’ from being hissed. —Mile. Sardon, scarcely in her teens, the daughter of the great French playwright, has so seriously questioned her father as to why he will not permit her to go to the theater to see his Play ‘8, that he promised to write one she inight ‘ness.

It will soon be produced, —Robson and Crane’s production of “The Merry Wives of Windson,” was seen for the first time in Boston on Monday night at the Boston theater, «nd was received with great favor. The audience enthused several times during the evening, and particularly at the close ot the third act, when Mr. Crane, who of course, played Sir John, was called out and treated to an ovation. Robson got a great deal out of the smail part of Slender. —Mr. Wilson Barrett, apparently wishing to give New Yorkers a taste of what he could do in less showy roles than Claudian, appeared at the Star theater last Saturday afternoon in two short pieces, “A Clerical Error,” a comedy with a serious underto and “Chatierton,” a tragic piece, depicting the last day of the ‘life of the Precocious and unhappy bey poet. Some of the Critics praised in the bighest terms the wide range of power and of artistic attainment re- vealed by Mr. Barrett in tae leadit les of these plays. Owuer critics, who huve evidently determiued that nothing Mr. Barrett Goes shail provoke them into anything nearer: upproba- tion than a patronizing tolzrance, found his comedy in “A Clerical Error” tecanically cor rect, but lacking in genuine sensibility; while they admit his “Chatterton” to have been very good. —When we are told that “beside ‘Ke nil worth’ such pieces as ‘The Rag Baby’ and ‘A.
