as great benefactors to the human race
the world over. It was stated, a wholesale
slaughter of birds would be a greater disaster
than is the European War. S.F.W. told us of
a beautiful trip she had just taken to Braddock
Hts. to attend a Temperance Mtg., and she expressed
much regreat, that so few S.S. people had availed
themselves of the opportunity.

Eliza N. Moore read of Hampton Inst. as
described recently in "The Bellemar," a Minneapolis
paper. Hampton teaches that things seen are
more powerful than things heard. The Dept. of
"Home Economics" is called "The Gumption School,"
and a warm tribute was paid the general efficiency
of the many graduates who go forth to teach
what they have learned there. Three Japanese
visitors have just been touring this country, sent
by the Gov. to study colleges and Insts. like Hampton.
While they were ordered to give 2 days apiece to
our splendid Universities, Hampton was to have a
whole week! Eliza N. Moore also gave a
comical but sympathetic account of a colored Professor
of Chemistry, the nephew of her coachman, who
had called to see her. She found "Numa
Pompilius Garfield Adams" a gentleman in appearance
and manners, a modest, but highly
educated college graduate.

In contrast, the poem of a colored man addressed
to the cook of Sallie R. Janney was extremely
laughable, and we regret not securing
at least, the last verse, wherein a lovelorn
swain laments the hard heart of his dusky
inamorata.

A little clipping warned us against the
habit of gossip which was thought to be a
two-edged weapon injuring both giver and
receiver.

Mary Scott told us she had succeeded in
sterlizing chipped beef so that it kept perfectly
in glass jars.

Fanny Snowden read of the satisfactory
potato crops raised on vacant lots in the town
of Parsons, Kan. and the experiment had worked
well in many other places.
