Everyday Ik-rplexities.
There is Martha, hard w* r! i g. pains
taking, a good n an:’g< r, ever inventive
of seme new pantry orui.-,revering some
thing tn the art of cookery and house
keeping. There in Mary, also fond of
conversation, literary, so ci : ; «l in
deep questions of ethics sb im time
to attend to the qu< sttoiib of household
welfare It is noon. Alary is in the par
lor with Christ. Martha is in the kitch
en. It would have i**. n better if they
had divided the work, and then they
could have divided the opportunity of
listening to .It sus, but Mary monopolizes
Christ, while Martha .swelter- at the
fire. It was a very important thing that
they should have a good dinner that
day Christ was hungry, and he did not
often have a luxurious entertainment.
Alas mo, if the duty had devolved upon
Mary, what a repast that would have
been! But something went wrong in the
kitchen. Perhaps the lire would not
burn, or the bread would not Lake, or
Martha scalded her Laud, or s.emeihiug
was burmd black that ought only to
have been made brown, and Murtha lost
her patience and forgetting the proprie
ties of the occasion, with besweated
brow, and, perhaps, with pitch, r in one
Rand ami tongs in the other, she rushes
out of the kitchen into the pre: t nc.o of
Christ, saying, “L* id, d • I thou not
care thatmy sister hath h it me to serve
alone?” Christ scolded net a word. If
it were scolding, 1 should rather have
his scolding than anybody ; Ise's bliss
ing. Tlkto was nothing acerb, lie km w
Martha hud almost worked herself to
death to get him ruiuetbing io eat, and
bo he throws a world of tenderness into
his intonation as ho seems to say: ‘‘My
dear woman, do not worry. Let the din
ner go. Sit down on tins ottoman beside
Mary, your younger sister. Martha,
Martha, thou are careful mid troubled
About many things, but one thing is
needful.” As Martha throws open that
kitchen door, I look in and see a great
jnany household perplexities and anxie
ties.
Trials of Nonop precisit ion.
First there is the trial of nonappre
ciation. That is what made Martha so
mad with Alary. The vounger sister
had uo estimate of her older sister’s fa
tigues. As now, men bothered with the
Anxieties of the store and office and
shop, or, coming from the Stock Ex
change, they say when they get home:
“Ob, you ought to be in our factory a
little while. You ought to have to man
age 8 or 10 or 20 subordinates, and
then you would know what trouble and
anxiety are.” Oh, sir, the wife and the
mother has to conduct at the same time
a university, a clothing establishment,
a restaurant, a laundry, a library, while
she is health officer, police and pres
ident of her realm. She must do a thou
sand things and do them well in order
to keep things going smoothly, and so
her brain and her nerves are taxed to
the utmost I know there are housekeep
hrs who tiro fornmaie thiit tiny can
lit in an armchair lu (in library or lie
pn the belated pillow and throw off all
the care upon subordinates who, hav
ing large wages and great experience,
can attend to allot the affairs of the
household. Those are the exceptions. J
Mn speaking now of the great mass of
housekeepers—the women to whom life
|s a struggle, and who at 30 years of
look us though they were 40, and
Bt 40 look us th*.ugh they were 50, and
Bt 50 look ns though they were 60. The
fallen at Chalons and Austerlitz and
Gettysburg and Waterloo are a small
number compared with the slain in the
great Armageddon of the kitchen. You
go out to the cemetery, and you will see
that the tombstones all read beautifully
poetic, but if those tombstones would
speak the truth thousands of them
Would say : “Here lies a woman killed
fry too much mending and sewing and
baking and scrubbing and scouring.
The weapon with which, she was slain
was a broom or a sewing machine or a
ladle.” You think. U man of the
world, that, you have all the cares and
anxieties. If the cares and anxieties of
the household should come upon you
for one week you would Le fit for the
insane asylum. The half rested house
keeper arises in the morning. She must
have the morning repast prepared at an
irrevocable hour. Wh.ii if the fire will

not come, what if the cl< ck has stopped

Hares pf tbe Housewife.
Then the children must be got off to
school. What if their garments are
torn, what if they do not know their
lessons, what if they have lost a hat or
sash —they must be ready. Then you
have all 'the diet of the'day, and per
haps of several days, to plan; but what
if the butcher has sent meat unmastica
ble or the grocer has sent articles of
food adulterated, and what if some
piece of silv* r be gone, or feme favorite
chalice be cracked, or the roof leak, or
the plumbing fail, or any cue of a thou

have outgrown the apparel of last year,

Your house must be an apothecary’s

Martha makes an impatient rush upon

I be lenient. O woman, though 1 may
I fail to stir up an appreciation in the
I souls of others in regard to your house-
I hold toils, let me assure you, from the
' kindliness with which Jesus Christ met
1 Martha, that he appreciates all your
I work front garret to cellar, and that the
j God of Deborah and Hannah and Abi
gail and Grandmother Lois and Eliza
: both Fry and Hannah Mure is the God
of the housekeeper. Jesus was never

; friend and confidant of a whole w’* rid

Christ was mairicd. The Bible says
! that the church is the Lamb’s wife, and
j that makes me know that all Christian
; women have a right to go to Christ and
i tell him of their annoyances and trou
' bles. since by bis oath of conjugal.fidel
; ity be is sworn to sympathize. George
Herbert, the ( hri; tian put t, wrote two
or time verses on this subject:
'l'l.e servant by this clause
Maki - urudgery divine—
VM.o hive, p- a rccin, as for thy laws,
Make** thia end the action hue.
Divine Discipline.
A young woman of brilliant education
i and prosperous circumstances was call
i ed down stairs to help in the kitchen in
| the absence of the servants. The door-
I bell ringing, she went to open it ar.d
i found a gentleman friend, who said as
■ he came in: “I thought that 1 beard
music. Vvus it on ibis piano or ca this
harp?” bhe auswued: ‘‘No, I was
playing on a gridiron, with frying pan
! accompaniment. The servants are g< ue,
; and 1 am learning how to dothiswejk. ”
! Well done! When will women in all
circi find cut that it is honorable to
: do anything that ought to be dene?
Again, there is the trial of severe
j economy Nine hundred and ninety
' nine households out of the thousand are
i subjected to it—some under more and
| some under less stress of circumstances.
! Especially if a man smoke very expen-
I sivo cigars and take very costly dinners
I at the restaurants he will be severe in
demanding domestic economies. This is
' what kills tens of thousands of women
i —attempting to make $5 do the work of
j $7. A young woman about to enter the
j married state said to her mother, ‘‘How
j long does the honeymoon last?” The
l mother answered, “The honeymoon
■ lasts until you ask your husband for
I money.” How some men do dole out
i money to their wives! “How much do
you want?” ‘‘A dollar.” ‘‘You are al
j ways wanting a dollar. Can’t you do
I witii 50 cents?” If the husband has not
i the money, let him plainly say so. If he
j has it, let him make cheerful response,
j remembering that bis wife has as much
I right to it as he has. How the bills
I come in! The woman is the banker of
the household, she is the president, the
cashier, the teller, the discount clerk,
and there is a panic every few weeks
This 30 years’ war against high prices,
this perpetual study of economics and
I this life long attempt to keep the out

i’ numerable housekeepers.
Oh, my sister, this is a part of the Di

I all you would have to do would be to
{ open the freut windows, and the ravens
I would fly in with food, and after you

to make heaven the more attractive in.
the contrast. They never hunger there,
and consequently there will be none of
the nuisances of catering for appetites,
; -and in the land of the white robe they
' never have to mend anything, and •'he
j air in that hill country makes every-
I body well. There are no rents to pay,
; Every man owns his own house, and a
i mansion at that. It will not be so great
! a change for you to have a chariot iu
i heaven if you have been in the habit of
ridiug in this world. It will not be so
I great a change for you to sit down on
i the banks of the river of life if in this
i world you had a country eeat. but if you
have walked with tired feet in this
world what a glorious change to mount
celestial equipage! And if your life on
earth was domestic martyrdom, oh, the
joy of an eternity in which you shall
j have nothing to do except what you
choose to do! Martha has had no drudg
ery for 18 centuries. I quarrel with the
theologians who want to distribute all
the thrones of heaven among the John
Knoxes and the Hugh Latimers and
the Theban legion. Some of the bright
i est thrones o£ heaven wiU be kept for
Christian housekeepeia. OR, what a
■ change from here to t’uere—from the
time when they put down the rolling
i pin to when they take up the scepter!
If Chatsworth park and the Vanderbilt
i mansion v. pe to be lifted into ths ce
i lestial city, they would be considered
i uninhabitable rookeries, and glorified
Lazarus would be ashamed to be going
in and out of either of them.
God Is Taking Care.
There are many housekeepers who
oould get along with their toils if it
were not for sickness and trouble. The
fact is, one-half of the women of rhe
land are more or less invalids. The
mountain lass, who has never had an
ache or a pain, may consider household
: toil inconsiderable, and toward evening
she may skip away miles to the fields
and drive home the cattle, and she may
until 10 o’clock at night fill the house
with laughing racket; but, oh, to do
the work of life with wornout constitu
tion, when whooping cough has been
raging for six weeks iu the household,
making the night as sleepless as the
day—that is not so easy! Perhaps this
comes after the nerves have been shat
tered by some bereavement that has left
desolation in every room of the house
and set the crib in the garret because
the occupant has been hushed into a
slumber which needs no mother’s lulla
by. Oh, she could provide for the whole
group a great deal better than she can
for a part of the group, now the rest are
gone! Though you may tell her Gcd is
taking care of ihose who are gene, it is
motherlike to brood both flocks, and one
wing she puts over the flock in the
house, the otter wing she puts over the
flock in the grave.
There is nothing but the old fashioned
religion of Jesus Christ that will taken
woman happily through the trials of
home life At first there may be a ro
mance or a novelty that will do for a
substitute. The marriage hour has just
passed, and li u |<rpß-xiliesuf the bout-e
--hold are more than atoned by the joy of
beiug tog* tber and by the fact that whtai
it is late they do not have to discuss the
question : 3 to whether it is time to go.
The mi: haps of the household, instead
of being a mutter of anxiety and repre
b'-mioa area matter of merriment —

Lack of Christiikc Spirit.
But bow few of us have the Christ

called upon a poor, half starved lad who
had off* uded against the laws of the
school and said, “Take off your coat di
rectly, sir ' The boy refused to take it
off, wbercupou the teacher said again,
“Take off your coat, sir,” as he swung
the whip through the air The boy re
fuseel. It was riot because he was afraiel
of the lash —he was used to that at
home—but it was from shame—he had
no '.mdergarment—and as at the third
command ho pulled slowly off his coat
there went a sob through the school.
They saw then why he did not want to
remove bis coat, ?ud they the
shoulder blades had almost cut through
the skin, and a stout, healthy boy rose
up ami went to the teacher of thescbcol
and said: “Oh, sir, please d-emt hurt
this poor fellow. Whip me. See, he’s
nothing but a poor timp. Don’t burl
him; he’s poor. Whipnm. ” “Well,”
said the teacher, ‘‘it’s gmug to be a se

you as a substitute. ” “Well,’’ said the
poy, don’t care. You whip me, if
you will let this poor fellow go. ” Tbs
stout, healthy boy took the scourging
without an outcry. “Eravo, ” say- ev
ery man “Bravo!” How many of us
are willing to take the scourging, and
the suffering and the toil, and tbe aux
iety for otjier people. Beautiful things
to admire, but how little we have of
that spirit! God give ns that self deny

CAPTAIM DREW
May Withdraw His Resigna
tion Tendered Sometime
Ago.
Captain Tcm Drew, of the Floyd Rifles,
recently resigned the cantaincy. but the
resignation has never been accepted, anl
it is very probable that he will withdraw
his resignation, at least for a season. In a
fr-w more months Ca-ptain Drew will be
entitled, under the law, to be placed on
the retired list with the full rank of cap
tain. whereas, if he retires now he cannot
enjoy this privilege. He will se*on have
served fifteen years in the ranks and com
mission. and can then go on the retired list
with the rank of captain. He has been
captain of the Rifles about three years, but
prior to that time had been a member of
■ the company for many years, occupying
various positions from that of private to
the captaincy.
If Captain Drew withdraws his resig
nation now it is only a mater of a few
months when he will tender it again, so
■ knowing ones say. His successor will be
i either First Lieutenant Sidney R. Wiley,
o fthe Rifles, or Adjutant Blanton Win
ship of the Third Battailion of the Second
; regiment.
The Rifles hope that Captain Drew will
decide finally not to resign, but if he is
determined to resign they trust he will
postpone it until after the Rifles go into
state encampment next summer. It is very
probable the Rifles will have new uniforms
before the encampment. Captain Drew
feels that he is forced to resign on ac
count of the pressure of private business.
