In the annals of American history pertaining to our nation, the Greal Republic, many noted men have ap- pearcd, Particularly was this the case during the time Known the American Revolutionary period. Great souls then seem to blossom forth evs erywhere on Colonial soll, and the buoyant, patriotic fragrance thus en- gendered permeated not only through- out our own country, but was wafted into every liberty-loving quarter on the Where as globe, noble Vir- ever a more Henry of claration “Give death” rang colonies trumpets; was there patrict than Patrick ginia?

Easy For the Home Carpenter to Con- struct. Many people deprive themselves of the comfort of screens because the bought screen is more or less expen. sive. Few things, on the contrary, are cheaper If made at home. Apart from the protection from drafts which a screen provides, its presence insures a degree of senripri- | corners from pushing through the bag so quickly. Moreover, a broom dressed In a bag of this sort will go Into cracks and corners more easily than one in a plain bag. KITCHENETTES.

Brushes and brooms repay their own | er for systematic and Intelligent care { For one thing, they ought always to be hung on a door or wall, Instead of being leaned against a wall. Hanging keeps the bristles even and straight A stout cord can be tied tightly about the handle of the brush or broom or | else It can be run through a hole bored | in the handle with a gimlet, and the brush or broom can be hung by means of this cord to a hook or nall fastened in a door, wall or under part of a shelf Brooms should be washed frequently ~whenever they are solled or full of | dust—in hot soapsuds untill they are] clean and then rinsed In clear, hot water. They should then be dried thoroughly, In the sunshine if possible, before they are used again. Washing helps to lengthen the life of both brooms and brushes. Several bags of Aifferent materials | and shapes make an ordinary broom useful for many different things.

An interesting anecdote about Edwin Litchfield Turnbull, an alumgus of Johns Hopkins university, is told In the News-Letter, the weekly student publication of his alma mater. Mr Turnbull, when thirteen years old, pub ished for the benefit of a local chard table organization an amateur journal called the Acorn. He ran the paper entirely, doing the writing, typesetting | and subscription soliciting. Among his subscribers were the late Mark Twain, the humorist, and Sidney Lanier, the “Hopkins poet.” One day he recelved the letter from Mark Twain Dear Bir—Yours is the kind of paper for me-one that comes but six times a4 year and can be sy minutes "lease send It to me for ten years.
