EVERY MAN’S HOME.
Every man’s home is the best old home,
And every man’s wife is the sweetest;
Every man’s child is the best little
child.
The best behaved and the neatest.
Every man’s baby is better than all
The babies that ever were born—
And just so it’s babies and wives and
homes.
Why, let ’em all blow their horn.
Every man’s wife makes the finest pre
serves,
And every man's wife bakes bread
That beats all.the bread that ever was
made K
From Hatteras to Stony Head.
Jfcvery man’s home is the best to see
The finest housekeeping on earth—•
I#- And jusct so it’s bread and preserves
and home.
I Let ’em keep on with their mirth.
When every man thinks that his own
home’s best,
And his own wife sweetest, why then
We’ll swing back into the golden dream
Of a\ieaven on earth again.
And isn’t it beautiful, fine and sweet,
That faith of a man in his child.
And his wife and his home and his
simple life
That he boasts of undefiled.
When every man’s home is the sweet
est place
On earth for a man to be;
When every man’s wife is the sweetest
wife
In all the world to see:
When every man’s child is the dear
est child
That ever drew breath—ah, then,
We shall have better children and
women and homes,
And a darned sight better men.

CHAT.
Jqst now there are a great many
people stirred up over the hlien laws
of California and wondering how things
will turn out and what Japan will do.
And as likely as’ not things in Japan
are going on as if there wasn’t any
stir over here. I well remember the
many pieces of news about Japan that
I read in American newspapers, sent
me while there, that had absolutely no
foundation.
On the other hand, one never knows
the real sentiments of those people.
They are taught to wear a smiling face,
as the book of etiquette teaches, “even
though your father brings another wife
to the house.”
Beneath the surface human nature is
the same the world over, and only
Christianity is needed there, as every
where. They are ambitious and they
are also overbearing. The military
training has had much to do with the
latter characteristic. Some are really
rulers and some would like to be—the
last practice on their inferiors the rules
and regulations that they have had to
learn. With the Asiatic ideas of the
status of women it is easy to see how
Rhey have become the burden bearers.
• i May, with the Japan of the section
I lived in, is a month of unusual activ
ity. The better classes are the ones
vo care for the silk worms and about
now they are all hatched. Eat? You
have never sfeen anything like the silk
worms’ capacity for getting those mul
berry leaves consumed. Day and night
they eat. x’ve forgotten the calamity
that befalls the owner if* the worms
get out of leaves. As they cannot have
a great many put before them at the time,
there is no chance to fill their boxes
or trays and go to sleep. After they
have eaten for several days they must
have twigs to climb on and to hang
from as they wrap their winding sheet
about them. This thread is like the
finest hair. When they are entirely
covered the cocoons are then plunged
in boiling water to kill the worm, or
there will be a hole cut in the end of j
the cocoon for the chrysalis to get out,!
and that would mean the threads ruined. !
Rats are a great menace to the cocoons,
their name is legion over there, and I;
once visited a woman who explained
her swollen eyes by saying that the
rats found her cocoons that morning i
and nibbled almost all of them.
In the higher families they take pride j
in furnishing the threads of which the |
bride of the house had her trousseau
made. The threads are wound on reels,
a sample from the factory is selected, I
t;.e reels sent there and the pattern is i
v/cven. I saw a general’s daughter’s
outfit. She had been a pupil of mine,
and took great pride in the fact that all
the material for her dresses and under
go rments had been spun at home.

Timely Advice of Mother Re

This month is also the time for rice
to be transplanted, and that is done by
women. That is anything but a pleas
ant task. The fields must be several
inches in water, a sort of big mud pie,
on© might say, and the girls wade up
and down ib sticking the young plants
in it. Sometimes in this country when
1'ie seen men bundling a dozen or more
hands on the train to take them to a
phosphate or lumber camp, I’ve thought
of how girls are hired over there to do
*th e farm work and turned loose at^har-
est time with scarcely clothes to cover
them; not enough to keep them wai*m.
I used to think of it and wonder how it
c uld be changed—the women doing
such hard work and having nothing to
show for it at the end of the season,
the time when they needed it most. The
majority of the men were in the army,
or in the government employ in some
cap^ity, and the women of the poorer
classes were veritable beasts of burden.
I have seen those same fields plowed
with the most primitive implements, a
man holding the plow handles and
sometimes a cow and a woman pulling
it. The entire country would have to
be almost made over to change things,
everything is on too small a scale to
allow the use of machinery and I don’t
know what would become of a vast
number of men if the Jinrikishas were
done away with. That class of men
are coming to this country in droves.
Once I was riding in one and the man
stopped and said, “I been to America.”
I said, “Did you like that country?”
“Yes,” he answered, “there I’m a man,
here I’m a beast, a horse.”
There was so much bitterness in his
voice that I said no more to him. I
knew it would not do to let them tell
their grievances against their govern
ment. We were there to help them all
that we could, but not to get mixed
up in any issue of that sort. Naturally
a foreigner was a marked individual
and one they had all sorts of theories
and suspicions about. The ultra-loyal
said that if America, the Land of Plen
ty, was all that it was said to be why
did we leave it to go over there? One
of their arguments against Christianity
was that it made people unloyal. That
missionaries had spent their lives away
from their native land and seemed to
be happy over there. Now, however,
as the second generation of Christian
natives are making homes for them
selves in many instances the men mar
rying girls that have been the Bible
women or personal helpers of ladies
who, as the ignorant express it, de
serted their country to live in Japan,
the situation is better Understood. I
was once waiting for a boat and a Jap
anese man began to ask questions of
my Bible woman. At last he said,
“You be good to her, do the best you
can for her. That 'is what my brother
wrote to me, for he says it’s like leav
ing all manner of good things for them
to come here.” He did not know that
I understood what he was saying, he
wouldn’t have spoken quite so freely
to me. “Bei Koku” is their name for
the United States, Rice Country or lit
erally Land of Plenty. So you see they
are bound to slip in whenever they
can, and they can see no harm in out
witting the foreigner.
As I have already stated they are a
most overbearing race, the military rule
has been largely responsible and they
are taught from infancy that no other
race equals them in bravery or any
good thing. Their name for all foreign
ers was Devil, or Barbarian, until Ja
pan entered the comity of nations. Then
their emperor issued a proclamation
telling his subjects some of the things
expected of them and one was that they
must be polite and accommodating to
the “Faraway People” living or visiting
in that country. There was considerable
curiosity among the foreigners over
there as to what term would be coined
to designate the so-called Barbarians.
This fifth month is a great time there,
from every house that boasts a boy, and
if none, has been born unto them one
has been adopted, there is a long paper
fish swimming in the air from a tall
bamboo pole! Those fish are a mot
tled red and white, made of strong pa
per pasted together to form a bag that
the wind, entering the open mouth, in
flates. Sometimes several are on one
pole; they are from ten inches to seven
feet, as long as their purses will al-
low.
I sent some of those paper fish to
friends over here, but they were one
of the things that somehow always
failed to cross the line. They always
had letter postage on them; In those
days there was no parcel post; but
some one must have smelled the fish
and stopped them. They were not held
for duty, for their value was never as
much as a half dollar.
Well do I remember the rejoicing
there was on both sides of the Pacific
when the parcel post was organized. It
certainly was a blessing to he able to
get things from home without having
to wait until there was passing, to say
nothing of how we hated to burden the
traveler. But this is enough for this
time.
Faithfully yours,
I.IZZIE O .THOMAS.
Ready, Ky. Xn the following advices
from this place, Mrs. Laura Bratcher
says: “X was not able to do anything
for nearly six months, and was down in [
bed for three months.
I cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he I
could not do me any good, and he had to ;
give it up. We tried another doctor, but !
he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to
take Cardul, the woman’s tonic. I
thought it was no use, for I was nearly
dead and nothing seemed to do me any
good, but I used' eleven bottles, and
wag then able to do my own work and
my own washing.
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture of health.
I will always praise Cardui for what
it has done for me.”
Remember that Cardui is a mild, safe
remedy, composed of valuable medicinal
Ingredients, which help to build up vi
tality, tone up the nerves, and strength
en the entire womanly constitution.
In the past half century Cardui has
relieved more than a million women.
Why shouldn’t it do the same for you?
Try it. It may be just what you need.

ST. AUGUSTINE
Dear Miss Thomas: After a nice little visit
to St. Augustine, I am home once more and
snali try to tell some of The Journal renders
about it. Before one gets there a man comes
along and wants to get his carriage hired. He
is about the most accommodating individual
I have met in a long time. He could suit al
most any po°ketbook. These accommodating
‘haps are harder to turn down than some of
the other sort. My friend and I did not want
a carriage. That, to me, is a very poor way
to see a place. Of course, if there is much
sightseeing and one’s shoes are new a carriage
is convenient, but it is such a superficial way
to see things.
When we got off the train we were offered
a carriage at halt the price of the other. When
we told the man lie said, “Yes, and see about
half as much.” So, you see, one is at the mer
cy of hack drivers.
Our four feet—there were two of us. un
derstand—our four feet marched us straight to
the Presbyterian church. That is a pluce worth
visiting, and as we gazed on. the last resting
place of Mrs. Flagler and her daughter we re
membered that he is now almost at the brink
of that stream, which, once crossed, one never
more returns to this sidg. Mr. Flagler has done
so much for Florida, and more for the travel
ing public. The railroad Just completed by
him is a marvel and its success, I was told,
had encouraged the idea of even a more ven
turesome undertaking.
After the church we saw the hotels. The
Ponce rte Leon is all my fancy painted it. This
was not my first visit, but I never weary of
that beautiful place and there is always a po
lite bell boy to show it. Those pictures, the
furniture and the court vie with each other
and it’s bard to say which is most alluring.
Buy, beg or borrow a kodak for the'day. They
are rented very reasonably and one needs very
little practice to become c-xpert enough to snap
the little bit of metal or wind off that section
of film.
Wandering around seeing curio stores and
old houses, sniffing the salt breeze and inci
dentally rising early to get the train, made
us hungry and a nice little restaurant guve us
a dinner for twenty-five cents. Not such a
meal as I would like to have to sit down to
seven days in the week, but clean and politely
served.
Dinner over, a short rest taken and then we
went to the fort. That Is u most’interesting
place. Some of these days, when dollars are
not so elusive and one can have a job that al-
SUFFRAGETTES SENO
BOMB TO MAGISTRATE
Judge Bennett, Who Is Hearing
Charges Against Leaders,
Escapes Being Blown Up
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, May 15.—A businesslike
bomb addressed to Henry Curtis Ben
nett, the police magistrate, who is
hearing charges against the suffragette
leaders, was delivered by a letter car
rier at Bow street police court today.
The package was marked “immediate,”
but disliking the looks of it, the cau
tious court officer took it outside and
plunged it into a pail of water.
When the package was opened it was
found to contain a tin tobacco box,
bound with wire and lied with gunpow
der, shot and a cartridge. Attached to
the cap end of the cartridge was a nail,
wh,ch, if it had been struck, would
have fired the bomb and exploded Its
contents.
Suffragette bombs were found to
day in one of the passenger
cars of a train running between
Kingston-on-Thames and London, on
the Southwestern railway. This makes
the third outrage of the kind on the
same line within two months. On the
trainis arrival at Waterloo terminus,
the conductor noticed in one of the
compartments three parcels which
aroused suspicion .
On investigation two of them were
found to ^.italn tin canisters filled with
combustibles and wrapped in suffra
gette placards. No explosion occurred
and the bombs were handed over to the
police.
A militant suffragette ’’arson squad”
destroyed a large untenanted residence,
“The Highlands,” at Sand-Dale-on-the-
Sea, near Folkestone on the English
channel, last night. Post cards address
ed to the “Dishonorable Prime Minis
ter,” and to t..e “Dishonorable Reginald
McKenna, home secretary,” were left
about the premises. There was a post
card bearing the words “We hope this
is not q^poor widow’s house.”
Striking evidences of the extensive
operations of the militant suffragettes
and the bad effort upon the women’s
cause of the outrages committed by
them was given today on the resump
tion of the hearing at Bow street po
lice court of the charges against the
suffragette leaders. They are charged
with the infringement of malicious dam
age to property act.
Those who occupied the prison inclis-
ure were Miss Harriet Rebecca Kerr,
Miss Agnes Lake. Miss Rachel Barrett,
Miss Beatrice Saunders, Miss Annie
Kenny, Mrs. Laura Lenn and the ana
lytical chemist. Clayton.
The case against “General” Mrs. Flora
Drummond was postponed until July,
owing to her illness.
Letter carriers and postoffice officials
testified as to the great damage done
to the mails by chemicals and other
fluids poured into the public letter
boxes.
lows vacations this woman is going to spend a
week or two right there. Not exactly at the
fort, but the house has been selected, though
the pepple in it are not yet aware of the fact.
I haven’t made up my mind whether I shall
go in October or May. I don’t want the crowd
and can’t say that I ani hankering after the
mosquitoes that it is reasonable to suppose will
be there in May.
I hopj nobody is disappointed (?) because
I’ve not gone into vivid descriptions of the
sights, but Miss Thomas ypijr pen did full jus
tice to the subject last year, and Penelope
wrote a splendid letter a little later. Y’ou see
I keep up with the Household, long may it
prosper. Sincerely,
MARY J. LUTHER.
HOW TO READ BOOKS
Dear Miss Thomas: Bacon says, “Reading
maketh a full man, writing nn exact man.”
I have often ’ thought that times have so
changed things since that day that the learned
man aVouM be surprised if he could come back
and see the addle pates that spend their time
with books. I think that ttu- *eason a great
many children fail in their examinations is be
cause they do not know bow to study, and
their parents before them dla not. The mind
is a creation that places 11s higher than the
animals because we can reason, remember and
bring to pass plans stored away in the store
house of memory years ago.
But the average reader does not put anything
worth keeping in that mental storehouse. The
reading has not been done in a manner to be
stored away, the mind lias become a sieve that
catches the worthless chaff and lets the heart
of the wheat escape intsead of a granary
where the whole wheat is garnered for the
good of all In need.
if I were a fairy T could look into the
minds of the readers of this page and tell them
a few things that would astonish them. They
are not reading wifh attention. They skim
along and are wondering when dinner will be
ready, or what makes that child cry. or if
the hen is in 'the garden. Ttead while you
read, and let your mind absorb food enough
to get in shape once more.
To read firstclass fiction is a benefit if
one does not overdo the thing, but to read the
stuff that some folks boast of is an impo
sition on the mental faculties and on the people
who might be benefited by associating with
you. Some magazines are so rilled with chaff
and not the best chaff at that, that I am
not surprised at the title light reading. Read
a book and train your mind to so absorb it
that it becomes your own proprrry. Let it be
a book, fiction, history, travel, it matters
not. but let it strengthen your mind as much
as your food helps your physical body. Some
things are to be daintily sipped, some may be
quaffed, and some slowly masticated. Are
these your mental habits?
Cordially.
MILLER FONTAINE.
A NEW IDEA IN CHICK FEED.
Dear Miss Thomas: Almost every time that I
see your picture I plan to write a Household
letter. You seem like a dear friend that I’ve
known for years, and there are a great many
of the writers that it seems to me I would
recognize if I should meet them. Not as many
are froi9 Florida as I would like to see. We
have all sorts of industries here that get valu
able ideas out of the Semi-Weekly Journal.
And I know there are things some could teach
us. I am glad you have taken up the subject *>f
gardening and raising chickens, as I am inter
ested in both, but especially chickens. I only
keep one breed, the Barred Rocks, and they
lay real well* I only set a few hens, as I do
most of the hatching in an incubator. I don’t
have any trouble raising the chickens, just keep
the brooder in n little yard where they can
take exercise. I feed on wheat bran, coarse
meal and a commercial mixed together hr a
dry mash. I use boiled sweet potatoes rolled
stiff in bran and meal and some times a dry
biscuit added. The chick feed is so high in
price I have never bought any.
Hope you will keep us informed of your suc
cess. 1 have Irish potatoes, cabbnges, collards,
lettuce and radishes; also onions, and have
rape and oats for the chickens, and give them
a mess every day.
Will some of the other sisters give their
experience with chickens?
With best wishes for your success. I am
MRS. LULA C. ROACH.

Golden Text: “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”-
Gal. 6:7.
Twenty odd years after the perfidy
of his brothers, and after their lying
and murderous hearts had spirited him
away from his father and his home,
there was a time of great distress in
CannaTm. It was a hill country and a
sheep raising country. It depended
largely upon Egypt £or its grain. There
had been unwonted plenty for several
years; there never had been such har
vests and everybody that raised wheat
had ha<jl an abundance. The supply was
so great, however, that the price was
low—the makets were glutted. But for
the last year or two, the crops had
failed. They never had known such a
poor harvest; in fact, they had not
gathered as much as they had planfed.
No more could be shipped to Canaan,
and the dwellers there began to suffer.
THE VISIT TO EGYPT.
Among those who began to feel the
pinch were Jacob and his eleven sons,
and their families. They had no wheat,
but they were wealthy shepherds, and
could afford to matke a trip to Egypt to
buy what was needed. So after a
family council, this visit was decided
upon. They planned that the men should
go, leaving Benjamin with his father
and their families. This was really ne
cessary, for since Joseph’s disappear
ance, the old man had" never been the
same. He was foolish about Benjamin,
and did not want him out of his sight.
They reached Egypt after quite a
journey, each with a bag of money with
which to buy the coveted grain. They
were referred to tlie prime minister,
who was personally overseeing all
sales, especially those made to outside
parties.
They thought his action toward them
extremely severe. He scrutinized them
most closely. His questions were very
pointed. His manner extremely harsh.
He suspected them of being spies, com
ing in the guise of merchants to find
the points of weakness, and to even
tually attack the country.
They asserted their innocence, they
told him they were all brothers, imply
ing that in reason no chief would send
so many of his sons to act as spies.
They claimed to be true men; they ap
parently had forgotten for the time how
they had lied to their father twenty
odd years before and to all appearances
had never confessed their deceit to him.
But the prime minister would not be
lieve them. Having learned that there
was still a younger brother, he said
he would put them to the test by that.
The burden of proof was on them, to
show that they were not spies, and he
would put them all in prison, t allowing
one to return and bring the brother.
Unless he could do so, they would be
proven guilty and killed as spies.
That ended the conference. Officers
were called who conducted them to the
prison, where they stayed until the day
after the next day (say from Wednesday
afternoon until Friday morning.) I am
not sure, but I can well imagine that
those three days (according to Jewish
count) were spent in very earnest
thought. Each man in his cell had time
to review his life and to wonder what
would be the outcome of it. They
knew enough of God to understand that
He was just and would require of them
an account of their evil desires and
their unconfessed lies to their v father,
and began to wonder if finally God was
bringing vengeance upon them for their
sin.
In the morning after the second night
they were startled to hear the command
of the guard to march. They had been
summoned to the presence of the prime
minister again. With fear and trembling
they came before him, and bowed down
to him. Can you imagine their relief
when they heard him say, “Because 1
fear God, I have determined upon a
more lenient course. I will keep only
one of you and the others may take
grain back to meet the needs of your
father and four families; but unless
you bring the younger brother back
with you when you return, you shall
not see my face, or release your brother
whom I "keep as surety.”
Simeon was chosen' and bourtd before
their eyes, while the others were sent
to the granery to have their sacks fill
ed and loaded upon their asses.
THE RETURN JOURNEY.
Joseph, for it was he who was the
prime minister, had given privately or
ders that every man’s money was to be
returned to him and placed on top of
the grain in the sack. He had no de
sire to corner the wheat and drive
hard bargain with his brothers or ’his
old father; he had no need of their
money. He wanted their love. He even
gave them more than their money call
ed for, as he provided for their return
trip.
When one of them opened the sack
to get food for his beast he found the
money. Each one repeated the experi
ence, and were in consternation. In
stead of suspecting who it was who
had done this, they were fearful of
punishment. Each expressed to the other
the fear that he had in his own heart.
God was punishing them for their sin.
Conscience had been dormant for twen
ty years, but kindness had awakened it,
and they were under deep conviction
of sin. They expected an attack at
any time, but the rest of the journey
was without incident.
They reported to their father all the
details of the trip,/ never once suspect
ing that they had been dealing with
their brother. He was distressed be
yond measure and wailed as he thought
of his lost Joseph and Simeon and now
of the possibility of losing his beloved
Benjamin. He upbraided them for ever
telling that he had another boy, and
insisted that he would never let them
take Benjamin away as they would
bring his gray hairs in sorrow to the
grave.
JOSEPH’S PURPOSE.
What was Joseph’s purpose in thus
dealing with his brothers? Was it sen
timent or revenge or reconciliation? At
first it looked very much like the for
mer. He had them in his power; he
could do with them as he pleased ana
no one say anything to the contrary.
The severe scrutiny, the harsh words,
the suspicious attitude, all point to the
former. The imprisonment points to
revenge. 1
But, it was neither. If he had ever
had any such feeling in his heart it
melted away during the three days, of
their imprisonment. I believe his
while purpose was reconciliation. He
was heaping coals of fire on their
heads, but he had to treat them as he
did at first to bring them to the point
where they would be willing to accept
his proffers of mercy. My reason for
so thinking is that Joseph could not
have acted otherwise when we realize
that he was constantly conscious of
God’s presence. Had God not been
with him, he might have taken revenge;
but with God with him, reconciliation
was his only course.
Jesus as treated us just so. Our
treatment of Him was far worse than
theirs of Joseph. But the invisible
God manifested Himself in Him in his
efforts to reconcile, not God to us, but
us to God.
What shall be your treatment of
those who offend you? Can there be
any other purpose if you are conscious
of God’s nearness, if you are looking
at the things that are not seen?

GOVERNMENT ROAD
IN ALASKA A FOLLY
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 15.—Government
construction, operation or ownership of
a railroad in Alaska would be folly, F. C.
Jemmett, representing bondholders of the
Alaska Northern railroad, told the senate
territories committee today. At the same
time he declared private capital would
extend the road now existing out of

Missing Verses of
New Testament Are
Found Over in Egypt
LONDON, May 15.—Some long miss
ing verses of the New Testament are in
cluded in manuscripts of the gospel dis
covered in Egypt six years ago and
purchased by Charles L. Freer, of De
troit. Mich., according to a study made
of the Freer manuscripts by the Times.
A fac similq of the writings has been
presented to the British museum by
the University of Michigan, tq which
Mr. Freer assigned the task of pub
lication, and according to the Times’
study, there have been found in the
gospel of St. Mark several verses which
occur in no other known manuscript
of the New Testament, although they
were known to St. Jerome, who quotes
part of them.
In the Freer manuscript after the
passage in which it is said that Jesus
upbraided His disciples for their un
belief, the text continues as follows:
“And they excused themselves, say
ing that this age of lawlessness and
unbelief is under Satan, who through
the agency of unclean spirits suffers
not the true power of God to be appre
hended.
“For because, said they unto Christ,
reveal at once thy righteousness.
“And Christ said unto them, the lim
it of the years of the powers of Satan
is (not) fulfilled, but it draweth near.
(The text here and elsewhere is cor
rupt.)
“For the sake or those that have
sinned was I given up unto death that
they may return unto the truth and
sin no more, x but may inherit the spirit
ual and incorruptible glory of righteous
ness in heaven.”
