The rains but make it fairer, The winds but make it strong; The bees which steal its honey Its fragrance bear along. When stricken by the sickle It rears its head anew, To meet again the sunshine, To drink again the dew. The tender, hot-house darlings, Shielded from sun and air, May scorn its rosy blossoms, And deem themselves more fair, But all the worid is brighter, And all the air more sweet, Because the sturdy clover Grows humbly at our feet. —Ninette M. Lowater. THE GHOSTS OF THE LUSITANI. Could we go back through all the past, ‘We'd find full many a ghost, Full many an unrequitted crime And many a tyrant's boast, For bygone wrongs still haunt world, A somber spectral host. For the souls of the departed Are ground in God's great mill, And those who die a wanton death It's written by His will, Shall cry aloud for justice, Shall cry and not be still. They are calling, calling, calling For justice that they cravi | The men and women and children | _Who went to a watery grave, | When the Lusitania met foul fate And sank beneath the wave. At last we've hearg them calling, They call for-long in vain, Their country to uphold their part Through sacrifice and pain, | That retribution comes to those Who bear the mark of Cain. Though they werc weak and helpless, Their number was but few, As sure as right at last prevails As sure as God is true, The Cerman tyrants yet shall quail, They’ll hear them calling, too. For the lives of all the living Are ground in God’s great mill And those who choose unrighteousness, It's written by His will, At last shall come to justice For justice ruleth still. We give of our blood and treasure For cause of so much worth, That through the Armageddon The worid shall find new birth, And tyrant role by right divine Shall perish from the earth. We're gathering 'round our banner, The flag that stands for right, With grim determination We gather in our might And the ghosts of the Lus Go with us as we fight. Walter Stillman.

I prize it very highly as it makes a nice addition to the collection of antiques which we already have. 1 think she should be classed with the grand old ladies of New England.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The basis of most cold creams is cither white wax or spermaceti, or Loth, with almond oil or rectified ani- mal fats, as lard, suet and the like, to which may be added various specifics for the complexion, and distilled wa- ters, essences, or essential oils to per- fume as desired. Cold cream is among the most use- iul toilet preparations, both as a pre- ventive.and as 2 remedy for' sunburn and reddening of the skin by expo- sure, chapped hands and lips, ' frost bite, and other local irritations. It is also useful for whitening the hands and to prevent wrinkles. For this pur- pose it should be applied at night and thoroughly washed off in the morn- ing. The hands may be protected- at night by a loose pair of kid or cha- [mois gloves. To prepare cold cream, melt in a double boiler two drams of white wax, one ounce of spermaceti, and three and one-half ounces of oil of sweet almonds. Remove from the fire and add in a thin stream two fiuid ounces of rose water, and stir constantly un- til cold. Those who can use glycerine with safety mad add one-half ounce to one ounce before the mixture sets. Or. for a medicated cold cream, melt with gentle heat in a double boiler one-half ounce of white wax, one-half ounce of spermaceti, and four ounces of almond oil. Mix separately one- quarter fluid ounce each of the tinc- tures of balsam of Peru, tolu, and ben- zola, to which add in a thin stream two fluid ounces of elder-flower water. | Beat in the meantime with an egs beater, or otherwise, to form a com- plete emulsion. Pour this emulsion in o thin stream into the melted - wax and oil, meantime beating with an egg beater “until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. When cold _this compound will set as a permanent coid cream which is highly recom- mended as a cosmetic. Or meit together in a double botler with gentle heat two ounces of sper- maceti and one ounce of oil of al- mend. Stir in three ounces of pure Iycerine and one-half ounce of bal- am of Peru. Remove from fire; beat with an egg beater until cool enough to stir, A. enough for 12 people. What is left over makes a splendid foundation for soup.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Although the tobacco plant contains a poisonous property, yet when properly used it is ica and eastern Asia the best known species is a handsome plant called Nicotiana, which grows from three to shaped leaves. The flowers form on the ends of the stems, both pink and white. in nearly every section of the globe. They derive their names from the states or countries where cultivated. accustomed to its use, it produces many kinds of illness, and even death has resulted: is beneficial from its sedative effects, its power of allaying' hunger is also well known. been told that people using snuff are immune from body vermin. The soldiers “over there” are so an- ous’ sprinkling of snuft in their gar- jments would eliminate the pests to some extent. Tobacco tea is used as a lice; also for spraying plants and is called a good fertilizer. The stems are usually.given away and are fine to put Tobacco. forms one of the important articles of commerce.

At tne time of the Civil war, the traveler seeking a home in the North- west found it a long and tedious jour- ney. Until 1863, there was not a mile of railroad in Minnecota. The traveler to places in that state and Wiscon- sin’ came by train to Dunleith, Iowa, now known as East Dubuque, and there took a steamboat on the Mississippi river. 'He would land at the point nearest his journey’s end, and. would probably finish it in a lumber wagon with a canvass cover, often drawn by oxen, In the fall of 1863 a railroad was graded and partially built, and in the spring of the following year a train went up on the Burlington road to St. Paul. A high bluff came down al-| most to the river's edge below the city, leaving just room for the wagon road. So the rails were laid up to the foot of the bluff, and the train cams up in the morning, was reversed on the turntable, and went back down the river in the afternoon. St. Paul was then a city of ahout 8000 inhabitants, and, standing on the wagon bridge across the Mississippi, one could look up the river to St. An- thony’s Falls, where stood a flour'ng mill, and a cluster of houses cccupied by its workmen. The next spring, the bluff was blasted away, and the 1 road went up on the river. At that| time, St. Paul occupied a small valley, and only a few farms bordered on the road up to St. Anthony. St. Paul soon enlarged its hounds, bluff after bluff disappeared, and now it is 2 city of mearly 300,000 peopl St. Anthony mill was the beginninz of Mirneapolis, now a 'city of more than 300,000. Hamline University lies about midvay between the two cities, on the St. Paul side of the river, and there is a_continuous city on both_sides until Minneapolis is passed. St. Paul is 2 com:mercial city, with miles of com- pactly built blocks of business houses. Minneapolis has the more beautiful lo- cation, and has utilized its chain of lakes ‘as ornaments of its series of lovely parks. A recent newspaper writer from New York, declares that the eastern city has no finer parks, and that the streets of sky scrappers in Mirneapolis can only be matched in New York. And th cities have grown from small villages within fifty €al Many not yet remember them when they were only country trading Doints. A friend from Connecticut visited me. several years ago and we visited sev- eral small western cities together. She helieve that they were ‘ms ten vears before. She was shed to find that each had elec~ ghts and city water service, and all the modern conveniences, and re- marked that they were more up-to- date than many large eastern cities. —all there along the rivers and railroads, are countless towns where one may find all the comforts of the old- cst' eastern towns.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Pretty rugs can be made from old pieces of flannel, cashmere, or any kind of dress goods, no matter how old or moth eat- en they may be, and these rugs will wear for years. Cut goods into bias strips about an inch ‘wide and gather through the center with a ' strong double thread. Use more and more goods until it is shirred quite tight, then twist the goods round and round the thread, this is so it will not flatten, but stay flufty and thick. It takes about five pounds. of these shirred strips to make a small rug; but ten pounds would make a nice one, nearly two yards long. * Any carpet weaver will weave these strips the same as rug carpet; but 1 considerate. one for-each work of w y sure of the ‘rug beln ends.

It was in December, 1862, that prep- aritions were completed for the disas- trous battle of Fredericksburg, under General Purnside. The Eighth regi-| ment, of which EdwArd Harland of | Norwith was colonel volunteered to lay the pontoon bridge, and aesisted | by others, speedily accomplished that task. 7 On the 13th Colonel Harland lOok‘ whole force was ordered to recrcss the the Rappahannock. It fortunately sus- tained ~but_slizht loss.. Connecticut ments engaged. During the soring of 1863 the Con- necticut brigade embarked at Newport News: soon after the Bighth, i junction with it, was_calle part- in .the siege of Suffolk. On sthe 19th of April occurred a brilliant episode which added to the laurels of this already famous regi- ment, a5 Rev. M. McG. Dana recalls in his interesting Norwich Memorial. In company with a detachment of the Eighty-ninth New York, it was ordered to capture Fort Huger. The command devolved ypon Colonel Ward. The §vb battalions were ferried in a small boat with a canvas screen drawn around it, to conceal -the men. into the neighborhood of the fortifications. Asthe boat grounded. 'the men leaped into the water, and making for the shore, paused only to rally about their officers: then charzed upon the. enemy’s? works,. and without firing a shot, captured the battery. planting their bullet-rent colors on the breast- works, and marching off,_the rebel gar- rison, ‘placed them as prisoners aboard the gunboat. The guns just taken were quietly turned ugan the rebel forces that were {seen swArming from the adjacent Wwoods, inl the hope of recapturing the position. The whole affair was one whichy showed the dash. coolness and paise of. the regiment, and ranks among the most = brilliant of its achieventents. Colonel Harland was promoted brig- adier general in April, 1853, becoming, next to General Tyler, the ranking of- ficer from N vich. On the 7th of May, 1864, the regi- ment participated in the battle of Walthall Junction, Va.. sustaining an ageregate loss of 74 officers and men. Colonel Ward, on whom the command of she regiment had devolved. was se- verely burned by a shell, Capt. James R. MMore. now in command of Com- pany D “disabled by a_serious wound. and Tieut.

He received a commission as first lieutenant in Company B in July. 11867, and was assizred to duty on General Harlond's staff.
