One cold dark night he slipped
away from home to sail for America,
the land of promise. He was work
ing in a railroad shop, and spoke of
his desire for knowledge to a young
lady. The next morning a minister
was at the shop looking for the boy
who wanted an education. Arrange
ments were made for the young Eng
lishman to enter a night school. At
twenty, he entered college. Now, he
who was denied all advantages in his
native land, is a man of rare culture,
large experience and a broadened out
look.
Dr. Blank has traveled much in dif
ferent lands; and his stereopticon il
lustrated lecture upon India was en
joyed by every one. The first view
shown was of the monstrous snakes,
and of the
“Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forest of the night.”
Then from the forest to the city—
Calcutta is Quite modern looking, with
stately buildings, and lowly, side by
side; with the ox-cart and the auto
mobile, as we see them on our own
Southern stree'ts. The Oriental “lo
cal color” is given when we see the
women seated on the ground grinding
grain. The men stand over them
bossing—and taking all the money —
but that trait isn’t confined to The
East. And you need have nc fears
about getting your full share —an*
perhaps a little more —as you see the
women gathering up the meal, shak
ing it from their clothes, raking it
from the dusty floor, and even from
their dirty feet.
One picture was of the “sacred
cows” roaming at will on the side
walk, which Dr. Blank took because
it was at the time such a novel sight
to him, but, as he explained, that was
before he ever lived in the South.
You see, he has some wit, if he is
English.
We saw the natives bathing in the
sacred waters of the Ganges—water
which Mark Twain said was so vile
no microbe could live in it, doubtless
the reason the natives can drink it
with impunity.
We saw the monument erected to
the women and children who were
slaughtered at Singapore. But the
most interesting picture of all was of
the wonderfully beautiful temples
carved out of solid mountains of
THE SOUTH LEADS THE NATION.
Has it ever occurred to you in how
many different fields of human ac
tivity the South has led the nation and
the world? A Southern physician dis
covered Anaesthesia and gave the
world painless surgery. A Southern
surgeon revolutionized surgical pro
cedure and won for himself the name
of “The Father of Gynecology.” A
Southern man invented the harvesting
machine. A Southern General and
Statesman was the “Father of his
Country,” and still another the “Father
of Democracy.” Southern theologians,
orators, jurists, statesmen, genarala,
scientists, authors, artists and invent
ors have time and again led the world
to greater achievements in their re
spective fields.
And in the field of instrumental mu
sic it is a Southern Piano House that
Is responsible for the perfecting of the
peerless Ludden & Bates Piano, said
to possess the sweetest and purest mu
sical tone of any instrument ever built.
It is this superb piano, that we have
secured for members of The Golden
Age Piano Club- Five beautiful styles
including the Baby Grand, three Cabi
net Grand Uprights, and a Self-Player
Piano, are offered in the Club’s cata
logue, a copy of which will be sent free

stone. All the delicate tracery of the
ceilings chiseled out of solid rock.
Unless you could see it, you could not
conceive of the diversity of patterns
hewn in the stone; and by what mag
ic did these ancient workers perform
their tasks without blinding them
selves with the fine particles that
sifted down from that ceiling, as the
patterns took shape under their skil
ful tools? Dr. Blank says there are
no temples in Europe to compare
with them —and now, many of them
are turned over to the cows and the
monkeys.
India, no less than Egypt, is a land
of mysteries and of enchantments,
and one is fortunate to make a visit
there even “by proxy”; I only wish
the Householders could enjoy my poor
description as much as we enjoyed Dr.
Blank’s lecture.

THAT OTHER MAN.
What a Job’s comforter was that
sapient sister —or was it a brother?—
who, in the Household, advised wives
to be always fixed up and bright and
entertaining in order to keep their
hubbies from turning to fresher and
more stylish women! The right kind
of husband would not neglect his wife
because she had grown worn and fad
ed through her service for him and
their children, As to always looking
neat and smiling, it isn’t possible to
a woman, who has all the housework
and the care of children on her hands.
She can not look fresh any gay, like
the women who have nothing to do but
dress and study how to look young
and pretty. I believe there are few
women who do not try to please their
husbands, but there are men who are
wholly unappreciative of the efforts of
their wives in this direction. I have
a charming little neighbor, who keeps
herself and her home in dainty order,
and who is always sweet tempered,
but her husbands leaves her alone
while he spends his evenings in the
company of gay women and men.
Os course, there are good husbands
who have unworthy wives. I know
one wife who deserted the best of

a dissipated man, who left her in a
year. She reaped a harvest of tears
from her foolish act, and on her death
bed cried out, “Oh, my husband, my
children, if I had your love to com

Dear neglected wives, there is no
love like the love between mother
and children. Turn to your children
for solace. Study them, teach them;
learn them to help you in your work,
and to find in you an entertaining
comrade and friend.

THE WORLD WENT BY.
By Arthur H. Goodenough.
The world went by; a varied throng;
I put my soul into my song,
And sang the things for which men
long—
The world went by; by faith —by love,
By hope, I strove men’s hearts to
move; —
By earth below and heaven above, —■
The world went by!
The world went by; of joy—of grief—
The budding and the faded leaf —
I sang, but heedless dull and deaf —
The world went by!
The world went by; I did my best;
But leaving half my thoughts un
guessea,
And callous —careless of the rest —
The world went by!
The world went by; I sing no more;
But ever at my bosom’s core
There hides a hurt unknown before
The world went by!

The morning class of a Detroit pub
lic school had been duly instructed and
enlightened upon the subject of our
national independence. Feeling sure
she had made a real and lasting im
pression with her explanations and
blackboard illustrations, the young
teacher began with the usual round of
questions:
“Now, Sammy Smith, where was the
Declaration of Independence signed?”
Sammy, with a shout of glee: “At
de bottom, Ma’am that what you said!”
