Julia Ward Howe nt Ninety.
Surrounded by her children and
grandchildren, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
celebrated her ninetieth birthday In
her Beacon street home, Boston. De
spite her advanced age the famous
writer is In full possession of her
faculties and mental keenness, and
still manifests great Interest in all
the great public questions of the day.
The feebleness of age, however, ren
dered It Imperative that Mrs. Howe
forego a public observance of her an
niversary. She held, however, a re
ception for her Intimate friends. As
sisting Mrs. Howe were her four liv

F776 Independence; Dayi-19Q9
A Contrast
ft n
W.., I,
BY DAVID HUNTER.
What at amazing difference there
Is between our home Independence
Day celebrations this year and that
never to bo forgotten day 133 years
ago. Now we are comfortable, at
peace with the world, with no danger
of a foreign soldiery driving us from
home and destroying all we have.
Those who, waiting In their homes
July 4, 1776, heard the triumphant
boom of Independence Bell, knew the
signal of approaching homelessness
and privation for many of them was
sounding. They had comfortable
homes in what many persons were
pleased to call "the struggling colo
nies," just as comfortable to their
occupants as ours are to us. It was
harder to make a home then than
now, and to be obliged to give one
up was, therefore, the greater sac
rifice. From the very beginning of things
In these United States the home has
been the bulwark of the Nation. Oth
er things havo been called by that
name, but the home is really the bul
wark that has kept overwhelming
waves of dlsnster from coming
aboard the good Ship of State. His
torians only tell of formal actions and
Incidents, and other matters connect
ing them. If, however, we lift the
curtain and look at the many facts
all unwittingly hidden, then we be
gin to appreciate the American home,
to understand why it Is an integral
feature of Independence Day.
I fancy that when a celebrant had
manfully made his way through the
courses of an old-fashioned Inde
pendence Day dinner, ho felt It was
most fortunate the event was annual.
When 1812 came we celebrated In
dependence Day by taking up cudgels
against the British again and soon
after sinking six of the enemy's ves
sels without loss to ourselves. There
was nothing secert about this celebra
tion, for the mythological eagle's
wings had grown, and his scream was
heard throughout the civilized world.
When peace was declared, or rather
as late as 1818, the Nation really be
gan to celebrate its birthday in some
thing the same fashion as to-day, al
though the methods have altered with
conditions.
All this time the Stars and Stripes
had played a growing part In Inde
pendence Day events. They were
first hoisted in the form of a flag
made of scraps of a blue jacket, a
whito shirt and red flannel, during
the siege of the American garrison of
Fort Stanwix, afterward Rome, New
York, August 6, 1777. The first dis
play meant that the flag designed by
General Washington and made by
Mrs. Betsy Ross In her little Philadel
phia home signalized the humbling
of one great nation and the birth of
another destined to become great.
Nowadays, the display means that
eighty millions of people "ejolce at
the marvelous results of ihe action
were Just being established, although i
bitterly opposed. j
Country homes of that day were
often large and handsome houses, as
many of them still standing, such as
Longfellow's homo at Cambridge, I
Mass., nnd tho Jumel mansion In New I
York City, show. These were built j
of wood with very solid frnmes,
Farmers usually lived In smaller j
homes, often with only a single floor i
and a garret. In the centre rose an
Immense brick chimney, containing a
huge oven. Indeed, the most pleas- j
ant room of the home of this descrip.
tion was the kitchen, with Its huge
fireplace, swinging crano and high
backed settle, Its bunches of herbs,
of apples and of onions hanging from
the ceiling, the corner cupboard
bright with pewter mugs and dishes,
and a cosy table to which buckwheat
cakes might be handsd from the grid
dle without opportunity to cool.
Here was served the midday dinner
of salt pork, beef or fish, with pota
toes and brown bread. Of the fine
and healthful vegetables now ro com
mon the old-time homo knew little.
It was from homes such as those
described that the founders of th
Nation went forth to war. When
Washington was asked the rock on
which he considered his splendid
career founded, ho answered, simply,
"My mother's teachings." Hundreds
of other mothers in later days, al

function, what harm Is there in bring
ing art to the rescue?
The thing is It must be art, art so
high that it seems nature. Tho rea
son rouging has fallen Into discredit
Is because it Is generally badly done.
Many women show as much discrim
ination In painting their cheeks as if
they were doing a Mn roof. They use
cheap rouges, have no knowledge of
anatomy, or light and shade, nnd
never think of toning down edges
with cotton or n clunh of powder.
Art fully understood Is never In
bad taste if it hi comes a necessity.
But that Is quite different from girls
with the freshnes.' of youth blonding
their hair and rouging until they
would be shocked at the Impression
tlicy create.
All women, girls especially, should
try diet, exercise and regular living
as beauty makers b.-foro resorting to
more questionable means. The flush
of health and the bright eyes nnd
clear skin that follow an nctlve life
full of wholesome Interests are much
more charming than any rouge, kohl
or peroxide, however artistically ap

The very first name signed to the
ueclarattoa of Independence, which
gave Independence Day lui name, was
home-loving John Hancock, whom
e English tried to have sent to
England to be tried for allegod
treason. The people who knew him
o well in Massachusetts counto
nanced nothing of the sort "All you
lave to do," they said. "Is to vUIt
"ie Governor's home to find out what
J flne man he Is." In one of his ad
dresses Governor Hancock declared
we coloniHts were "not only fighting
or their liberty, but for their very
nomes." This great American, whose
name- Is to-day a synonym for a fine,
cold signature, had no hesitation In
giving the home the prominence It
aeserved In the contest that resulted
'n American Independence. It Is a
great pity the Massachusetts Legisla
ture refused to purchase the old Han
cock home on Beacon Hill, In Boston,
"a that Its destruction followed such
refusal.

Great changes have taken place,
while all the events noted were hap

may be largely attributed to altered
methods of living. While from the
firBt settlement up to 1800 there was
a considerable difference, It Is since
1800 that the homes nave changed
most.
At that time there were no largB
cities. Philadelphia had a popula
tion of 42,000. Next came New York
with 33,000. Then Boston with 18,
OOOj and Baltimore with 13,000. The
places named had not lost a rural
appearance. In Boston, for example,
the streets were 'un paved, and the
sidewalk, unflagged. The better
houses were usually built of brick,
with little flower gardens la front,
or lawns dotted with shrubbery. Fur

The fart that some prefer cheese
or ham that has developed more or
less mold, while they would Instantly
reject moldy bread, lends the London
Lancet to nsk why guch a distinction
Is made. The writer thinks that dry
mold is harmless, while moist mold
may be poisonous. Certainly custom
nnd an acquired taste are factors.
Moldy cheese, however, relished by
epicures, U not universally in favor,
and moldy ham, which is placed in
the same category by the Lancet, is
not highly regarded in this country.
We quote from the article as follows:
"It Is a little difficult to understand
In what way the human Instinct is
guided In regard to deciding when
molds on foods are objectionable and
when they are acceptable. It is cer
tain at any rate that the same mold
Is both relished and objected to, ac
cording to the particular food on
which It flourishes. No one eats for
choice moldy jam or moldy -strawberry
nr blser.lt. and yet the same
mold growing on a cheese or a ham
may be appreciated. If, again, tho
same mold were found on beef or
mutton, the meat would probably be
regarded as unlit for food. In some
Instances, notably certain hams and
cheeses, the mold Is cultivat"d to give
these respective articles of food a rlpn
appearance and flavor, and when they
attain this condition they as a rule
Increase In value.
"It is well Known, however, that
the digestibility and palatability of
not a few foods Increase as they
'ripen.' We have already mentioned
the Instances of cheese and ham, and
there are further Instances of 'hung'
mutton nnd venison and game. By
ripening we de not mean a stute bor
dering on actual putrefaction, when
l such foods are described as 'high.'
j but a seasoned condition, when the
I food becomes tender, digestible and
; appetizing. At this period mold may
be found, especially if the seasoning
process has been allowed to d' Velnp
in a damp place. It seems as though
. foods which are palatable only if
eaten comparatively fresh may act
i polsonously on the system when
! moldy, and conversely it would np
, pear that those foods which are cat
' en dried or cured, or which can be
kept In a more or less dried state are
undamaged by mold. Cheese, after
j all, is more or less tho dried nitroge-
nous portion of milk; 'hung' mutton
j la muttor that is exposed for some
I time to a current of air, so that, at
any rate, Its surface Is dry; of hams
tho same thing may be said. In the
opposite category would be placed
the moldy fruit or jam, which are, of
course, moist, or the biscuit which
has been lying in a moist place, for
neither a biscut nor flour would go
moldy It kept dry. The reason partly
why some like mold In Stilton cheese,
while all resent tho same mold in a
strawberry, depends probably upon
this question of moisture. The guid
ing principle appears to be as far,
at any rate, as the palate goes that
anything which Is moldy must not be
wet. This rounrlusion still leaves
open the point as to whether mold oe.
